" "Alice, try to relax," Suzhon gently urged.
Sensing the tension radiating from her suddenly rigid companion, turning her attention to a ley, she greeted her warmly.
"Good morning, Lily.
" Suzi Han accepted a Lely s unconventional attire with ease, having witnessed it earlier that morning and found it quite fashionable.
Just then, a knock echoed from the entrance.
A ley, may we come in? Came the voice of Bowwa.
A ley leading Bchawi and Zan Sand to disrupt sister Alice's flower garden, looked at Suzie Han, her anxiety palpable.
It's not convenient for you to come in, she replied through the door.
Had she known this would happen, she would have certainly refrained from bringing Bowie and the others home.
The presence of the divine one felt rather improper.
With a smile, Suzi Hon responded, "Is it by Chia and Zans san? Let them in their s nothing inconvenient about it.
" With a flick of her divine power, she opened the door.
Leaving by Chia and Z sand momentarily stunned.
At the seaside villa, the air was thick with the aroma of sizzling oil.
A delightful fragrance permeating the surroundings.
Various spices and seasonings simmered in hot oil, accompanied by large bones rich with meat.
As the bones released their essence into the bubbling oil, water was added, and the pot was covered to stew for several hours, culminating in a rich broth.
"How delightful!" Lu Lu exclaimed, inhaling the tantalizing scent wafting from the large pot.
"This is what life is about.
" At this moment, the Little Mermaid had finally completed the extensive cooking process.
Covering the pot, she wielded a large iron spatula in one hand while wiping the sweat from her brow with the other.
The fragrant oil clung to her, enveloping her in its warmth.
Now we let time work its magic, the Little Mermaid proclaimed.
With that, she set down the spatula, adjusted the fire to a gentler flame, and instructed Lu Lu to monitor it.
We need to maintain this heat for a few hours to allow the broth to develop its full richness.
I'm off for a quick swim.
And with that, the little mermaid leapt from the yard into the sea.
All right, Lulu replied.
By the way, Chi, are you ready? Lulu spoke to the mermaid gracefully gliding through the sea.
I have invited the esteemed deity to join us for lunch.
What? The esteemed deity? The mermaid emerged from the water, gazing at Lu in astonishment.
Why didn't you inform me? Indeed, why else would I have you prepare such an extravagant feast? Not just for the deity, but for many companions as well.
Lulu replied with a smile.
An hour prior, at the breakfast table, Lulu had noticed a peculiar sprite.
This sprite seemed to follow her and Oranki closely, always perceptible in her vicinity.
It was quite large for a sprite, and ordinarily she should have recognized one of its size.
Yet she had never encountered it before.
Its demeanor was strikingly familiar, evoking memories of an important individual.
Goodness, it turned out to be the esteemed deity.
Chapter 277.
The entire fish rolls.
How deeply the deity cherishes them, trailing behind her, and she without wishing to intrude.
She can only gaze, indulging her own longing.
How can there exist such a benevolent deity in this world? Thus, Lulu extended an invitation for lunch at the food shop, which was graciously accepted by the deity.
All of this transpired beneath the very eyes of the mermaid chi.
Unfortunately, moments of sorrow and despair consumed the little mermaid's intellect, and snaring her in her own world, diminishing her awareness of the external realm.
She remained oblivious.
Upon hearing Lu Lu's explanation, Orloni was filled with regret.
As the closest companion of the benevolent deity, she had failed to notice the deity's presence.
It was all due to her preoccupation with recent warm memories, lost in a days, causing her to lose her acute perception of the surroundings and remain unaware of the deity's affection.
"Oh, how heart-wrenching it was," Orlon Chi thought, her expression growing increasingly despondent.
Seeing this, Lu quickly remarked, "Do not be disheartened.
The more you wallow in sorrow, the worse things become.
You must learn to go with the flow.
Your recent performance has been lackluster, and it is not unrelated to your mindset.
These words pierced deeply.
The Little Mermaid gazed at Lulu and felt the willow before her was utterly detestable.
"You see, you express your unhappiness, even though you claim otherwise.
You have changed so much.
You were never like this before.
You become rather foolish," Lulu teased.
The Little Mermaid turned away, not wishing to engage with the increasingly sharp tonged Lulu.
Suzi Han encountered Lily and welcomed by Chowiwa and Zansen, she learned of both significant and trivial matters.
She accompanied everyone to the home of the Death Knight siblings, helping to restore the flower garden.
Admittedly, their daily lives were quite entertaining.
Regrettably, the Death Knight siblings were not home today, and Suzie Han expressed her disappointment at not seeing Ariel and Ellen.
After departing from Alice's home and bidding farewell to the reluctant crowd, Suzie Han flew to the Little Mermaid seaside villa to honor Lulu's invitation.
When she arrived, she emerged from the portal, partially obscured.
She beheld a scene interwoven with warmth and solitude.
On one side, Lulu was chopping ingredients, arranging them on the table.
The table was adorned with an array of vegetables and meats, while a pot of bone broth simmerred over a stove fueled by fire elemental stones.
On the other side, the little mermaid sat in the courtyard gazing at the sea.
Despite the lively spread of dishes next door, the bustling Lulu, and the maramment, she felt a profound disconnection.
Orloni seemed to emanate an aura of solitude compared to the slight vitality she had exhibited in the morning.
She now bore an overwhelming sense of lifelessness.
Ever since the last incident involving the mermaid evil god, a lingering aura of desolation had enveloped the little mermaid.
Suzie Han felt powerless.
Even the systems modifications could not mask her emotions, and she had no better solutions.
After awakening, she had checked, confirming no abyssal creatures affected the Little Mermaid.
She could only let nature take its course, allowing time to help the Little Mermaid.
untangle her inner turmoil and heal.
A gentle breeze caressed her strands of hair as Aolanki gazed serenely at the surface of the sea, her long blue and white lashes unfurling gracefully.
Years had passed and the little mermaid seemed to have matured, her childlike visage taking on a hint of the colors she once embodied.
In this moment, one could almost glimpse the memory of when Suzi Han rescued her, that unforgettable image lingering in her mind.
Suddenly, Suzi Han appeared, aligning gracefully in the courtyard.
Aileni's eyes sparkled with delight, tracking her every movement.
With a swift roll, she transformed into a ball the size of a pillow.
Suzihan, judging head forth, cradled her in her arms.
Meanwhile, Lulu, overjoyed at the sight of the divine presence, had yet to utter a greeting before being takenback by the little mermaid's unexpected antics.
What a surprise it was to discover such cleverness behind her embrace.
Chapter 278.
The affectionate kin.
The steam from the hot pot rose in swirling tendrils.
The crimson broth bubbled fiercely while slices of meat and vegetables danced in the rich red oil infused stock.
With chopsticks, Sue Xihon lifted a delicate slice of beef, placing it into a dipping bowl, swirling it in sesame sauce, scallions, and cilantro before savoring it.
The fragrant essence of the meat melted beautifully with the sauce.
In the midst of this steaming delight, Suzie Han could not help but squin her eyes in pleasure.
Following the rising vapors, she caught sight of Lu Lu's beaming smile and a noticeably happier little mermaid.
The two divine rings at top Lu's head gleamed brightly.
The once dim divine ring on the little mermaid's head had transformed into a vibrant halo.
