Chapter 156 Changing clothes
Jiang Yu thought the seemingly terrifying sea monster was actually kind of cute. Because of its ability to become invisible, she often couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
Sometimes she thought it wasn't there, but then the tentacles in the void would suddenly produce a small gift and present it to her. Other times, when she was unsure and called out to it, it didn't respond, so it must have left.
But the sea monster won't leave for long; it spends most of its time guarding her, this place likely being its territory. This includes this clear, tranquil sea, and the ruins of these broken palaces and temples.
Jiang Yu has always been a cautious person. Although she was basically certain that the sea monster ruled this area, she still dared not stray too far from her temporary residence and only walked around to take a look.
Furthermore, due to the bubbles, her movements are somewhat restricted; she cannot touch or take anything because her limbs cannot emerge from the bubbles, but she can have Da Kui give them to her.
Yes, she named the sea monster Big Sunflower.
Because it resembled part of a giant sea anemone and also a jellyfish, she hesitated for a moment between the small anemone and the large one, but chose the latter out of respect for its enormous size.
It seems that Da Kui doesn't like her walking around too much either. If she goes a little too far away, it will use its beautiful tentacles to roll her up and put her back on the seaweed bed.
The tentacles of the giant sunflower were the most beautiful Jiang Yu had ever seen. They were completely different from the sticky, sucker-covered tentacles of any other octopus or squid. Each of its tentacles was like a shimmering crystal, gradually changing from light purple to dark purple, making it look very dreamy.
What's most special is that each tentacle has beautiful gauze fins on its back. They usually fold up and stick tightly to the tentacle, but they open up when the tentacle is in a mood swing. The blue-purple gauze fins, which look like they are covered with stars, sway gently in the sea. It's so beautiful that it's breathtaking.
When viewed separately, it resembles a glass version of the tail of a Chinese dragon without its caudal fin.
Jiang Yu loved watching it get startled and then spread its fins wide open. Once, Jiang Yu was sleeping when it suddenly rolled off the bed, and because of the bubbles, it rolled right through the palace pillars.
The giant sunflower was startled. When Jiang Yu opened her eyes, she saw its tentacles stretch out in all directions, its gills fully open, like a giant flower blooming in the sea.
Later, she deliberately scared Da Kui a few times, and successfully witnessed this underwater wonder, also learning that Da Kui was easily frightened. This contrasting trait is quite endearing.
Jiang Yu gazed at the towering spire in the distance, wondering what kind of structure it was. She was puzzled; based on her initial assumptions about Atlantis, these ruins should have been built on land and later sunk to the bottom of the sea for some reason, becoming relics of a lost civilization.
However, after observing these buildings for the past few days, Jiang Yu discovered that their dilapidated or damaged state was not due to seawater corrosion. Their surfaces remained smooth and hard, suggesting that they were damaged by war or human intervention.
Rather than being sunken ruins, they are more like a maritime civilization from the very beginning. These structures were built on the seabed.
Jiang Yu pondered, "Then where did the owners of these buildings go? It feels like they've been abandoned for a very, very long time."
Why does the giant sunflower stay here all this time? Is it to protect this place, or has it been abandoned here? There are no other lives here, and the giant sunflower doesn't know how long it has been living here alone.
The giant sunflower seems to have a deep connection with this sea area. It almost never leaves. According to her observation, it only leaves briefly before going to find food for her, probably to the surrounding sea area.
It only fails to respond to her calls at this time, so she deduces that as long as Da Kui is in this sea area, which is its territory, it can sense her movements. Therefore, does its absolute dominion over this area include a spiritual connection to this sea area as well?
Jiang Yu calmly analyzed and gathered the extremely limited clues she could gather. She couldn't entrust everything to a sea monster whose depths she didn't know. What if the giant sunflower, which might be friendly to her for now, turned into a raging monster one day?
She still needs to find a way to get out of this sea.
A few ripples appeared in the seawater beside Jiang Yu; Da Kui had returned.
It brought back some snail meat and seaweed that Jiang Yu loved to eat, and also brought back softer seaweed to lay on the stone platform for Jiang Yu. It noticed that Jiang Yu always tossed and turned when she slept, probably because it wasn't soft enough.
Triton's youngest daughter liked to sleep in a giant scallop shell lined with a rare sponge that was not only soft but also had a unique fragrance. However, the sea area where that sponge grew was too far from the forbidden sea, and even if it could teleport, it would take most of a day to travel there and back.
It didn't feel comfortable leaving the little person alone here; she might get scared if she couldn't find it. Besides, the sea hadn't been peaceful lately, with bad guys searching for the little person everywhere. What if those bad guys came and snatched the little person away if it wasn't there?
As long as it remains in the forbidden sea, no one can enter silently. Even its hunting now occurs only in the adjacent waters. It must protect its little people.
So let's wait a little longer for the soft scallop-shaped bed, until the little ones no longer need bubbles.
Jiang Yu touched the seaweed bed, which was twice as thick, and thought that Da Kui was really thoughtful. It had even brought her back a box from who-knows-where, containing several dresses that were perfect for wearing underwater.
These clothes were decorated with a large number of seashells and pearls, and they were very gorgeous. She saw that Da Kui had secretly eaten some of the gold ornaments and pearls on them.
What amazed Jiang Yu the most was the fabric's magical properties; it seemed completely waterproof, not getting wet in the seawater. Jiang Yu could wear it right away. The only drawback was that the lower half was far too short, somewhat like a modern miniskirt, and the hem was irregular. Jiang Yu was worried about accidentally exposing herself; even though there was no one else underwater, she still felt involuntarily ashamed.
With her gesturing, Da Kui brought her some small tools she had found in the shipwreck. Most of them were unusable, but thankfully there were a few gold needles among them. Jiang Yu untied some threads from her clothes and managed to turn a short skirt into a pair of briefs.
Now that she had a base layer, she could wear short skirts without any worries. So she made a few more pairs of panties, planning to wear them interchangeably.
When Jiang Yu was changing clothes naked in the bubble, she didn't hide from Da Kui. In her mind, Da Kui was probably no different from a wild beast. But Da Kui was actually a sea monster named Mo Linbia who had long since gained intelligence and had human thoughts.
Seeing Jiang Yu's beautiful body laid bare before it, it instinctively covered its two pairs of eyes with its tentacles. That's right, three pairs in total, and it covered two.
Then it became shy, its entire body turning deep purple, and its beautiful fins burst open in an instant. Instinct told it how fragrant, white, and soft it was, and it wanted to touch and cuddle with it. But its intuition told it not to touch or cuddle, or it would get angry.
