"Yo, morning." Arthur greeted.
Deep Sea Demon Whale: "..."
"You did this?" Seeing Arthur again, it had some realization.
Arthur didn't speak and went straight for an elbow strike, starting to fight with the Deep Sea Demon Whale again.
The third day... the fourth day... the Deep Sea Demon Whale's heart was collapsing.
It had lived for so many years and had never encountered such an unreasonable human.
He wouldn't kill it after fighting, nor would he let it go.
He just gave it a beating every day; it was pure torture.
A few days later.
"Human, just kill me, glug." The Deep Sea Demon Whale collapsed, letting Arthur do as he pleased without hitting back at all.
Arthur stopped and frowned at this once majestic overlord of the deep sea.
A few days ago, it could still struggle frantically in the water and roar repeatedly.
Now, it was like a broken salted fish, paralyzed in the water without moving, too lazy to even open its eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Arthur summoned the Auspicious Beast.
Xia Xi lay on top of Arthur's head, curiously observing the surroundings before finally fixing her gaze on the slumped Deep Sea Demon Whale.
"Wu..." The Auspicious Beast let out a low cry, seemingly expressing some kind of confusion.
"Give it a buff." Arthur pointed at the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
Xia Xi blinked and lightly raised a small paw, and a soft golden light showered onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
Wherever the light passed, the torn muscles and broken scales began to heal at a visible speed. Its bones made subtle "crackling" sounds as if they were being reassembled.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale's originally hopeless eyes gradually regained a hint of spirit.
"This... what power is this?" it murmured lowly, its tone filled with disbelief.
It felt the Luck of the ocean converging, and its own Bottleneck for the hundred-thousand-year mark was loosening.
"Keep practicing with me, and you'll get this every day."
As long as it took a beating, it could Breakthrough to a hundred thousand years? What kind of good thing was this?
The Deep Sea Demon Whale regained its vitality and charged at Arthur.
"Human! Take this!"
...Ending today's practice, Arthur returned to the deck. After tidying up a bit, he headed to the hall for the group meal.
During the meal.
Xie Xie was puzzled: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Gu Yue for a while."
He shoveled rice from his bowl while looking around, "She wouldn't really be shut in because of what happened that day, would she?"
Everyone looked at Na'er simultaneously. Na'er immediately blushed, thinking of what happened that day and giggling foolishly.
Xu Xiaoyan directly took her star staff and slammed it into Xie Xie's face, saying angrily: "Don't make me remember it, you bastard!"
Xie Xie clutched his smashed face, looking aggrieved.
Tang Wulin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Serves you right."
This wasn't a topic Arthur could easily join, so he just buried his head in his food.
To be honest, even now he didn't understand what was going on with Gu Yue that night.
Was she having an episode? Or did she have a split personality?
Or was she playing some kind of 'gap moe'?
In Gu Yue's room at this time, she hadn't left for several days.
Regarding their Lord's recent reactions, the Vicious Beasts were also very puzzled. Wanting to share their Lord's burdens, they sent Bi Ji to investigate.
Gu Yue sat by the window, looking at the sea.
Behind her was Bi Ji, kneeling on one knee.
"Lord." Bi Ji's voice was very soft, "You have been sitting here for five days."
Gu Yue didn't look back, just quietly watching the rising and falling waves outside the window.
