"That's good. You can go up and see him later. If there's anything, contact me."
Du Feng gave Arré a voice transmission talisman and asked him to keep in touch. Since everyone had agreed, it was better to let the little girl live in the small world of the necklace now. There was a whole world inside, and she could play and play freely. There were mountains, grasslands, rivers, and seas. There was nothing lacking. It was much better than staying in Xiao Hei's house.
"Ah, what a cute child."
Liu Fei liked the little girl as soon as she saw her and immediately coaxed her to play. It was also the first time that the little girl had seen green grasslands and blue lakes. She was so happy that she jumped up and down. No matter how smart a child was, staying in Xiao Hei's house every day was not a good idea.
Not only was Arré's daughter happy, but his wife was also happy. On one hand, it was because her daughter finally had a chance to come into contact with the outside world. On the other hand, she was actually quite tired from accompanying the child in Xiao Hei's house every day. Now that her daughter was taken care of by Du Feng, she could finally go out.
"How about this, let's go to the Red Conch Hut for a meal tonight as a welcome dinner for Brother Du."
Arré was also in a good mood and insisted on treating. Because it was Du Feng who paid for the meal at the pub today. In fact, he was treating tonight, and the money he spent was also Du Feng's money. But he had secretly made up his mind that he would pay back double in the future.
"Okay, okay, I haven't gone out for a long time."
Arré's wife, Ni Hui, had not gone out for a meal for many years. And because their family income was low, they were usually very thrifty. Usually, Arré dug out the meat of the shells he found and ate it, then processed the shells and sold them for money. The meat of the shells was actually quite delicious occasionally, but it was not good to eat it for a long time.
Moreover, she was a mermaid, so she usually ate this kind of cheap food and did not think it was delicious at all. Since today was such a happy occasion, she must go out for a good meal. As she spoke, she began to dress herself up. Because there was only one room, there was no way to go to the boudoir or bedroom to dress up. She could only pull up a curtain and make do with it.
In fact, Du Feng was also quite embarrassed, but he couldn't leave alone at this time, so he turned his back to the other side. After all, she was his friend's wife, and he should respect her.
There were very few curtains in Sea God City. Most curtains were made from fish skin. In the cities above, leather curtains were even more expensive than cloth curtains. However, in Sea God City, leather curtains were the cheapest thing one could buy. To put it bluntly, it was just a piece of fish skin. After scraping it clean with a small knife, it would be done after a little preparation.
Arré's wife really loved to be beautiful. She spent a lot of time dressing up. It seemed that the more beautiful a woman was, the more she loved to be beautiful. She hadn't gone out for a long time to take care of the child, so she was a little excited this time.
When Du Feng met Ah Lei for a drink, it was already the middle of the afternoon. After chatting with Ah Lei, it was already dark when she dressed up. When Huang Xiaolong pushed the door open, he found himself surrounded by darkness. He didn't see the colorful pearls or glowing shells he had imagined. What was going on here?
Arré explained to Du Feng that the glowing pearls and shells he saw were reflected light, not glowing on their own. During the day, when there was light around, those things would emit colorful light, looking very beautiful.
But at night, there was no light source in Sea God City, so those colorful things would not shine. Pearls and shells that glowed on their own were actually quite rare.
Du Feng took out the glowing pearl he bought and looked at it. Sure enough, it had lost its previous color. No wonder it was so cheap, it turned out to be a fake. It couldn't be called a fake. It was indeed a big pearl, but it wasn't as good as he had imagined.
Hence, he took out another Night Illumination Pearl and immediately lit up the surroundings. Interestingly, when this Night Illumination Pearl shone, the pearl in his hand also lit up. Moreover, the brightness was quite good, and the colors were very beautiful.
What was going on? It couldn't emit light, but when it reflected other light sources, it looked very beautiful. This must be the legendary lighting tool that was very bright during the day and not bright at night.
Du Feng held the Night Illumination Pearl, and the three of them walked out of the alley. Their slum was full of low houses, piled up with all kinds of shells. Interestingly, wherever the Night Illumination Pearl shone, the shell houses next to it would light up, looking quite good.
But when Du Feng walked past, the house dimmed again, returning to its previous mediocrity.
This was like some people, when they had excellent friends around them, they would also perform well, making others think that they were talented, or even better than their friends. However, after this outstanding friend left, that person immediately dimmed down and became no different from the average person on the street.
"This pearl is so beautiful, if only we had one at home."
Ni Hui was after all a female mermaid, not a human lady from a noble family. She didn't know much etiquette, wanting beautiful things whenever she saw them. But when she opened her mouth, it put Arré in a difficult position. After all, it was Du Feng's thing. She shouldn't ask for it so easily.
"Don't talk nonsense, this thing is too eye-catching, we can't use it."
Arré rarely reprimanded his wife, and usually endured it silently. But this time, in front of his friends, he had to show some authority.
"It's okay, keep it first, use it when necessary."
Du Feng stuffed some to Arré, telling him to keep it well. In fact, he understood Arré's worries. Because he was a half-beastman, and his wife was a lowly mermaid, he couldn't be too high-profile. Right now, Du Feng was holding the Night Illumination Pearl, pretending to be a prince of Dragons. Dragons were nobles in Sea Emperor City, so of course they could do this.
If a mermaid held the Night Illumination Pearl, or even wore it as an ornament on their head, they would be attacked. Even if they weren't robbed, they would be ridiculed by their neighbors, saying that they were showing off for nothing. The poorer the neighbors, the more they liked to ridicule others and pick on others' faults.
Du Feng remembered when he bought the pearl, the stall owner said that it would emit light when he infused the power of god into it. At that time, it worked. Thus, he tried to infuse it with the power of god, and sure enough, it became brighter than before, illuminating several small houses in the vicinity.
Some mermaids were at the door, suddenly being illuminated by such a strong light was dazzling. Just as they were about to get angry, they took a closer look and saw that it was a prince of Dragons passing by. They were so frightened that they immediately shrank back.
