The Ocean World doesn't seem to have a distinction between day and night; many fish sleep when they're tired and wake up when they've had enough sleep.
However, intelligent merfolk like Tang Tang don't seem to be like that.
Tang Tang pulled out another net from the same spot, skillfully tied it to a permeable part, and crawled inside to rest.
The whole process Flowing Water.
Seeing this, Hela followed her example, putting the net over herself and sleeping inside it.
However, as a human being who has slept in a bed since childhood, sleeping in such a strange thing always brings a strange sense of shame.
It's like a child sleeping in a castle made of pillows.
She lay in the net bag, not knowing why, Mingming having experienced such a terrifying ordeal and having traveled for so long.
I didn't feel tired at all, nor was I sleepy.
Now that she has some free time, Hela has realized that her mental state and energy are better than ever before.
My mind is not foggy at all; I can think very clearly about anything, and I am also very aware of my surroundings.
This was something Hela had never experienced before.
From childhood to adulthood, she felt like she was always in a daze, especially after her father died; the whole world seemed like a dream to her.
Everything seems unreal, and I feel completely disoriented about what's happening in the outside world.
Only when you concentrate on drawing can you feel that the world is real.
Now, everything I see is so real, and even seeing something so terrifying, I don't feel any sense of disorientation.
And he swam in the sea by himself!
This is the first time that Hela has been unable to sunbathe for extended periods or engage in strenuous exercise due to her albinism.
Sunbathing and outdoor exercise, which most people dislike, were unattainable dreams for Hela.
Now, this dream can be easily realized.
Hela even suspected that this was a dream, but the realism of her surroundings kept denying this idea.
So what exactly is my current situation?
According to that fishman named Spirit Shark, he is currently in the underwater world and is not allowed to leave.
Then why am I in the underwater world? And why do they say I sprang from a rock?
If I really did spring from a rock, then why am I inside a rock?
Countless questions echoed in Hela's mind.
Even though Hela's mind was clear, she couldn't figure it out for the time being.
But she was certain that all of this was related to that blank memory in her mind.
And it must also be closely related to the abnormality of one's own body.
She raised her right hand and gently squeezed it twice.
The skin is smooth, delicate, and elastic, and feels incredibly soft to the touch in seawater.
However, the muscles inside are very thin and soft; with a slight exertion, you can even feel the bones inside.
It's true that there's nothing wrong with my hand, so why did it move on its own and easily block that seemingly terrifying attack?
There must be something wrong...
"That..."
Just as Hela was lost in thought, a weak voice drifted down from above.
Hela looked up and saw Tang Tang curled up in the net, peeking out her head and looking at her.
"What's wrong?"
Hela quickly snapped out of her reverie and smiled gently.
"What's your name again? I was a little scared at the time and didn't listen carefully."
Tang Tang gave an awkward laugh, looking very cautious.
"My name is Hela Jaeger, you can just call me Hela."
Hela showed no impatience whatsoever; her gentle smile remained, making her look like an angel fallen to earth.
This sight warmed Tang Tang's heart, instantly dispelling her initial tension and fear.
A smile involuntarily spread across his face.
"Okay, Hela!"
My name is Tang Tang, and I'm in charge of taking care of some little fish. We'll get along well from now on!
"Um!"
Hela nodded in response at first, but when she heard that Tang Tang was taking care of Xiaoyu, she immediately became interested.
"If you're taking care of the little fish, then are you a teacher?!"
"Teacher?" Tang Tang tilted her head slightly.
"Hmm... among us surface dwellers, those who take care of children and teach them knowledge are called teachers."
"Oh, I see. I am indeed a teacher."
"Hehe, my dream is to become a kindergarten teacher."
I love kids!
When Hela spoke of her dreams, her eyes were filled with longing and anticipation.
"Hey, you like kids too!" Tang Tang looked at Hela with surprise.
"Yes! I really like it. For a while, I often went to the nearby kindergarten to play with the kids."
Kids are so cute; spending time with them really lifts my spirits.
"Me too! I love seeing kids act cute and cuddly towards me; it melts my heart every time!"
As she spoke, Tang Tang recalled the way the little fish had fawned over her, and she clutched her chest, rolling around in the net.
"By the way, can you transform into a fish like those Sea Dragon sharks?"
"Turn into a fish?"
Tang Tang stopped rolling. "Of course! Anything that can transform into a human can transform into a fish, except mine is different from the Guardian's."
A faint blue light slowly rose around her, her body transformed into seawater, and then into a Sea Herring no bigger than a palm.
Wow, that's amazing!
"Oh, it's actually not that bad. I just swim a little faster normally, nothing special."
The Guardians' transformations are truly powerful.
After saying that, she transformed back into human form. "I usually prefer to be this way, because if I'm too small, I'll easily be mistaken for a small fish and eaten by sharks."
"Don't worry, if some fool really does eat you, I'll rescue you from its belly."
A cold and domineering voice suddenly came from outside.
Then a large hand reached in from the outside and lifted the curtain.
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw the enormous body of the Spirit Shark bending down and walking in from outside, with a long, snake-like fish wrapped around its hand.
"Guardians? W-what's wrong? Is there some danger around us?!"
Upon seeing the other party, Tang Tang immediately tensed up, not because she was afraid of the Spirit Shark, but because she was afraid of the danger around her.
After all, places where guardians usually appear are usually dangerous.
"It's nothing, just checking if you've been eaten."
Hela:...
The Spirit Shark leaped lightly between the two and sat on the rope. "But judging from your behavior, you two seem to get along quite well."
She took a bite out of the long fish, and her sharp fangs instantly tore a large gash in its long body.
The other party struggled for a moment, then fell silent.
"Are you hungry?" Spirit Shark asked, chewing on some eel meat as he looked at the two of them.
"No need, I'm not hungry." Hela sat up and quickly waved her hand; she had absolutely no appetite for these snake-like creatures.
Tang Tang swam over without hesitation, took the eel from Spirit Shark's hand, and started eating.
"Hehe, the Guardians are really good to us."
