Chapter 155 Raised by a Sea Monster
Jiang Yu originally thought the bubble would burst and the liquid inside would spill out, but the moment her lips touched it, the liquid inside seemed to have a mind of its own and slowly entered Jiang Yu's mouth.
It wasn't the viscous liquid Jiang Yu had imagined; instead, it was like clear water, naturally cool and sweet. This greatly relieved Jiang Yu's discomfort and the thirst she had been trying to ignore.
She quickly finished the tiny bubble and even wanted another one. But looking at the sea monster's face, a face that could give a child nightmares, she dared not say a word.
But her stomach was beyond her control, only expressing its hunger. In the empty temple, the only sound the rumbling of Jiang Yu's stomach in the bubbles could be heard between the two.
Jiang Yu wasn't embarrassed in front of the sea monster, but she covered her stomach in some distress.
The sea monster reacted quickly, extending a tentacle and scratching at itself. Jiang Yu's eyes widened. Could it be that this sea monster was going to feed her with its own body? Good heavens, it had to provide all its food and drink on its own?
But she was clearly overthinking it. The sea monster pulled out a handful of gold coins from somewhere on its body, placed them on its tentacles, and handed them into the bubbles.
Amid Jiang Yu's puzzled gaze, Morinbia patiently demonstrated to the little man how to use the gold coins. It picked one up, put it in its mouth with its other tentacle, and crunched it away.
No wonder it doesn't eat itself; this guy eats gold. Pretty impressive, treating gold coins like cookies, huh? That's quite the extravagant eating habit.
Jiang Yu opened her mouth wide, and when Morinbia once again extended the tentacle holding the gold coin forward, she quickly waved her hand, trying to convey that she couldn't eat the gold coin.
It seems the message has been conveyed, but it hasn't been fully communicated.
She saw the sea monster seem to have a sudden realization, waving its tentacles behind it, then retracting the tentacles that were holding gold coins, and handing over a handful of pearls and a handful of gems.
"..." 6.
Jiang Yu quickly gestured, pointing to the treasures on the sea monster's tentacles, then to her own mouth, and waved her hand to indicate that she couldn't eat them.
The giant sea monster understood, retracted its tentacles, and then scratched its head with its other tentacle, looking rather cute.
Jiang Yu thought for a moment, then pointed to the seaweed beneath her. If all else failed, she could get her some edible seaweed.
Molinbia watched the little person gesturing frantically to her and thought she was so cute. She began to recall what Triton's family used to eat.
Then it extended its tentacles, gently patted Jiang Yu's back through the bubbles, helped her pile up the seaweed on the bed, and then disappeared into the sea.
After the sea monster completely disappeared, Jiang Yu finally felt her tense nerves relax. Although she sensed its kindness and thoughtfulness, she still couldn't avoid the deep-seated fear in her heart when faced with a huge, unheard-of monster.
Moreover, she wasn't in a favorable situation; her life and death seemed to be entirely in the hands of this monster. Jiang Yu sighed, touched the firm, large bubble again, and decided to sit there obediently for now.
Molymbia didn't keep her waiting long. She soon reappeared from the sea, this time carrying a plate-like shell with a fish, several large shrimp, and some soft, transparent-looking flesh on it.
The fish and shrimp were unlike any Jiang Yu had ever seen, which made her even more certain that this ocean was no longer on Earth.
Jiang Yu was a little down, but her will to survive kept her going. She took the large seashell from the sea monster's tentacle and began to examine the food on it.
Jiang Yu loves eating raw food. Raw fish slices, raw marinated crab, spicy octopus, and drunken shrimp are all among the top dishes on her menu. So, she wasn't afraid at all when faced with this plate of raw seafood.
She picked up the shrimp and examined it closely. She discovered that the shrimp had a light blue shell with fluorescent spots, and its antennae and legs looked like clumps of cotton wool. It looked very bright and beautiful, and it appeared to contain a lethal dose of poison.
Then she turned the fish over again. The whole fish was like glass, crystal clear, but the compound eyes like insects and the sharp fangs were still off-putting.
Finally, she looked at the few clumps of transparent, lychee-jelly-like soft flesh and couldn't tell what they were made of.
Actually, she wasn't starving to death, and she didn't necessarily need to eat.
When Jiang Yu looked up, she was met with three pairs of huge eyes that had already come close to the bubble. One of the eyes was even bigger than the bubble itself. She swallowed hard and felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
It's just a few pieces of meat, I'll eat them right away.
She initially ignored the horrifying and deformed fish head, then gently took a bite of the fish, only to be so overwhelmed by its freshness that she almost swallowed her tongue.
Mom, it's so delicious! The transparent fish meat isn't fishy at all, the texture is delicate, and it's filled with sweet juice. Although it doesn't melt in your mouth, it melts into a cool liquid by the time it reaches your throat after you cough and chew it.
Jiang Yu quickly devoured the fish. The delicious food awakened her taste buds, and she felt even hungrier.
So her gaze fell on the few pieces of lychee-colored soft flesh. "Well," she thought, "a little dirt won't hurt," and "if I don't know where it came from, I'll just assume it's safe." She grabbed a piece and took a small bite, like she was gnawing on a steamed bun.
Amazing! What kind of divine ingredient is this that looks greasy but is actually crispy?! The texture is somewhere between coconut jelly and jellyfish skin. The crisp and smooth texture of the gelatinous substance is irresistible to Jiang Yu. He ate one bite after another and soon finished off several pieces of soft meat, or rather, crispy meat.
In the end, Jiang Yu didn't let the shrimp go either. When she tried to peel off the shells to reveal the milky white, fragrant shrimp meat inside, she no longer cared about whether it was poisonous or not.
She now understands why gourmets crave top-quality ingredients. Being able to eat such food truly increases happiness; ordinary food can only fill the stomach, while top-quality food comforts the soul.
Jiang Yu's belly was round and full. She burped as she held her stomach. The sea monster thoughtfully gave her another bubble of water, which she drank without hesitation. Feeling full and energized, she felt as if she had a new hope for life.
Morinbia was also very happy. He remembered the menu that Triton usually liked to eat and easily brought the ingredients from the nearby sea. Seeing that the little man liked to eat it made him very satisfied. The way he ate and sighed greatly pleased him.
I really want to hold her in my tentacles and touch her gently, and I also want to press my face against hers, for I still remember the smooth and delicate feel of her cheeks.
Unfortunately, this bubble was too much of a hindrance; without it, she would die. Morinbia thought regretfully, wishing the magic circle could be faster. With that thought, it still produced a new bubble, replacing the one that had enveloped Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu was placed in the new bubble and realized that it was probably like changing the water for raising fish; the sea monster needed to change her bubbles regularly to maintain her breathing and survival.
Oh dear, who would have thought that one day I would be kept as a pet by a sea monster?
