"If this Deep Sea Demon Whale King is seeking revenge on Tang San, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Why do you look so worried?"
Huo Yuhao clearly saw through his [Dream] authority that the little planet spirit was now showing an expression of guilt for having made a mistake, her fingers twisting together from time to time, not daring to look Huo Yuhao in the eye.
The little planet spirit lowered her head, looking at her toes, her originally ethereal and tolerant voice now lower in tone.
"If it were just about revenge against the Sea God, I would certainly be happy."
"But her heart is completely consumed by hatred; she has almost no reason left."
"I tried to connect with her spirit, to soothe her anger, to calm her down, to at least allow her to think rationally, but I failed."
"Her strength is immense, approaching a million years old, not much weaker than the former Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"Aside from the Silver Dragon King's child, perhaps only Di Tian could barely handle her."
"Moreover, my control over the ocean is too weak; I have no way to establish a connection with her."
"Having fallen into madness due to her accidental awakening, she now kills any sea spirit beast she sees!"
"Many children in the ocean are actually innocent."
Hearing the little planet spirit's gentle yet guilty voice, Huo Yuhao's "gaze" softened as he looked at her, slowly comforting her through the [Dream] authority.
He didn't actually think this was a bad thing, mainly because he was indifferent to the ocean; the life and death of the sea spirit beasts were irrelevant to him.
The Far North, Xilu City, Passion, and even the Magic Network—these were all on the continent; the continent was Huo Yuhao's base.
On the other side of the ocean, Huo Yuhao was hoping for chaos.
The more chaotic it was, the more unstable the Sea God's position would become, allowing Huo Yuhao to quietly seize control of the ocean.
The little planet spirit, after all, was the will of its planet, and it was normal for it to love its child; Huo Yuhao respected that.
However, Huo Yuhao wouldn't go to war with the Demon Emperor for this reason; the risks and rewards were completely disproportionate.
Let the Demon Emperor cause trouble in the ocean.
"By the way, you sent this Demon Soul Great White Shark, didn't you?"
"Otherwise, how could the ocean currents that erupted in the Arctic Ocean have blown her to the icy sea?"
The little planet spirit perked up again, raising her head and saying,
"Oh, right."
"Aren't you going to other continents?"
"Even with coordinates, you still need a guide on the high seas."
"Among the sea spirit beasts, none is more suitable to be a guide than the Demon Soul Great White Shark."
"Their race often wanders the oceans, has been to many places, and is very familiar with the distribution of ocean currents and various safe sea routes."
"With her help, you can easily travel to other continents."
Huo Yuhao's gentle voice entered the little planet spirit's ears through the power of dreams.
"Mm."
"Thank you."
"I do need a guide."
The little planet spirit was very happy, lightly tapping her toes, her voice filled with joy.
"I'm glad I could help you. I'll go back to the inner side of the planet now."
"I still need to maintain the planet's records."
"If you need any help later, I will do my best to assist you."
As the little planet spirit's ethereal and gentle voice echoed on the pure white sea, the crimson figure gradually disappeared into the dream space, returning to the planet's origin.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his "sight" and returned his consciousness to reality.
In reality, the Demon Soul Great White Shark beside Huo Yuhao's feet was struggling to flap its fins, trying to return to the sea.
The bait's effectiveness had waned; after all, it was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Su Tong expressionlessly blocked the Demon Soul Great White Shark's escape route.
If this shark escaped, her teacher would probably wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of anger, and then the shark would grow larger and larger in her teacher's memory.
"Stop struggling."
"You can't escape."
"Teacher isn't that cruel. At most, I'll cut off your fins.
With the vitality of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, you won't die."
The Demon Soul Great White Shark covered its eyes with its fins, its melodious female voice tinged with sobs.
"Why is this happening?"
"I'm never coming here again."
"You, you guys be gentle, I'm afraid of pain."
The Demon Soul Great White Shark resignedly extended its right fin, then thought for a moment and retracted it, extending its left fin instead.
Su Tong's lips curled up slightly; this Demon Soul Great White Shark was surprisingly adorable.
It was quite obvious that this Demon Soul Great White Shark held a high position in its pack, at least as the offspring of an elder, otherwise it wouldn't be so well protected, appearing untouched by the filth and cruelty of the wild.
"Alright, Su Tong, don't scare her."
Huo Yuhao gently squatted down, patted the shark's white belly, making a crisp "slap slap" sound, and said,
"My fish, what's your name?" "
A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, with such strong spiritual power, your status in the clan must be quite high.
You should have your own name, right?"
The Demon Soul Great White Shark shyly swatted Huo Yuhao's hand away with its fin, its voice filled with pride.
"Don't be silly! I can be shy too."
"My mother is the queen of the clan!"
"I am the pride of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan!"
"Hmph, tell me my name, and I'll scare you!"
"My name is Dong Qianqiu! Frozen sea, for a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations!"
Huo Yuhao: "Stare..."
Su Tong: "..."
"Actually, my teacher and I are both ice-attribute soul masters, and we are currently looking for advancement soul rings."
Su Tong's quiet words suddenly reached the ears of the proud Demon Soul Great White Shark.
Her fish body trembled, her expression gradually stiffened, and the eyes on both sides of her white fish head filled with mist.
"I...I'm actually fire-attribute, do you believe me? Hehehe."
"..."
"No way!! My spirit rings aren't suitable for you! They can't give you powerful spirit skills."
"I...I was wrong! I...I'm not called Dong Qianqiu, I'm actually called Bai Xiuxiu."
Huo Yuhao patted Bai Xiuxiu's fish head and said,
"You should have been honest earlier."
"I think this name sounds better than Dong Qianqiu."
Bai Xiuxiu proudly turned her fish head and said,
"Hmph!"
"I still think Dong Qianqiu sounds better, Bai Xiuxiu is too rustic, I'll ask my mother to change my name when I get back!"
Huo Yuhao really wanted to tell her that this was probably impossible, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had probably already killed her whole family by now, unless the Sea God intervened.
However, given the Sea God's current situation, it was unlikely that he would intervene.
In other words, this great white shark in front of him had most likely already gloriously obtained the Innate Bridge-Blocking Sacred Body.
Huo Yuhao didn't plan to explain the situation to her directly, he just wanted her to go back and see for herself.
"Alright, Bai Xiuxiu, right?"
"I won't kill you, but you've eaten so much of my bait, I can't just let it go like this.
Go back and bring me some underwater specialties from your home as compensation."
Bai Xiuxiu suddenly raised her shark head, looking at Huo Yuhao with hopeful eyes, and said,
"You're willing to let me leave?"
Huo Yuhao stood up, put away his fishing rod, and said,
"Shark meat isn't very tasty, and we don't even want your spirit ring."
"Go back, and remember to bring me some specialties."
Bai Xiuxiu didn't notice that a strange eye mark appeared on her tail fin.
"Okay!"
"I'll definitely bring you the best-tasting dragon scale octopus and deep-sea spirit pearl shells!"
"I'll be there soon, just wait here for two days."
Bai Xiuxiu jumped around happily, sending the wet sand flying everywhere.
Huo Yuhao used his telekinesis to lift the fish up, threw it forcefully, and the whole fish drew a beautiful arc in the air, finally landing in the water with a perfect posture, splashing small water droplets, enough to make the Philippine dynamo fishing team blush.
Bai Xiuxiu returned to the sea, excitedly leaping out of the water. With a flick of her tail, the spray drew a heart shape in the air before she sped off towards the Arctic Ocean.
Huo Yuhao waved to Su Tong and said,
"Let's go, I'll form a soul contract for you."
Su Tong, carrying a fish bucket that was empty, tilted her head slightly and said,
"Teacher, are we just going to let it go like this?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the sea and said,
"Let her go."
"But she'll be back soon, and the sea isn't calm anymore."
"That hungry shark probably has nowhere to go."
Su Tong nodded thoughtfully. Hearing her teacher say this, it seemed something had happened at sea; the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan might have met with misfortune.
As for how her teacher knew, she always trusted her teacher's intelligence network.
