"Bi Ji," she suddenly spoke, "Tell me, are human emotions very troublesome?"
Bi Ji was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Indeed."
She understood instantly; the Lord's abnormality these past few days was actually because of Arthur.
"The World of Spirit Beasts is very simple," she said softly. "The strong are kings. If you like it, take it; if you don't, kill it."
"But humans are different."
"They hesitate, they shrink back, and they use all sorts of reasons to convince themselves not to face it."
She paused, a self-deprecating smile curving her lips. "Transforming into human form to cultivate again might have been a wrong decision."
Bi Ji looked up at her back. "Lord, you have already done very well."
"Besides, hasn't Lord Na'er, who represents humanity, already separated from you?"
Had they really separated?
Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Tell me, what is he doing right now?"
Bi Ji thought for a moment and replied, "He should be eating with his companions."
"Or..." she paused, "thinking of you."
Gu Yue gave a soft huff. "He wouldn't think of me."
"That bastard is heartless all day long."
Seeing the Lord's demeanor suddenly change at the mention of Arthur, Bi Ji felt a sense of foreboding... Over a month later, on the surface of the sea near the ship, the originally azure ocean had turned dark purple at some point.
A massive water column, dozens of meters in diameter, shot from the distant sea, slamming hard against the ship's activated Soul guidance shield, triggering ripples and violent tremors.
A pod of Deep Sea Demon Whales surrounded the giant ship.
Strangely, there was even a school of Devil Spirit Great White Sharks.
A dense mass of shadows rose and fell in the sea. Some were no smaller than the Spirit Beast Arthur had "abducted" back then, and two of them had even more terrifying auras.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
Ear-piercing alarms blared throughout the giant ship, and the previously calm cabins instantly fell into chaos.
"Everyone, assemble at your designated positions immediately!"
"Soul guidance shield to full power!"
"Combat Soul Masters, prepare to face the enemy!"
...On the deck, Zhuo Shi was the first to rush out of the cabin, looking up at the dark purple sea.
"This is..." He narrowed his eyes slightly. "There are two Spirit Beasts with cultivation bases of at least a hundred thousand years."
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, and the others also quickly reached the deck. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but gasp.
"So many?!" Xie Xie couldn't help but swear. "Did we break some heavenly law?"
A dark purple water column, even thicker than the others, soared from the sea surface, carrying terrifying pressure as it slammed into the Soul guidance shield.
"Boom—!!!"
The shield shook violently, and the entire ship trembled as if it could be overturned at any moment.
"They are testing the strength of the shield," Zhuo Shi said solemnly. "If this continues, the shield won't last long."
Other accompanying experts also appeared one after another.
The five Titled Douluos on the surface stood in front to block.
Just as they were about to take action, they were stunned by a sudden sentence.
"Humans!" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice was filled with extreme rage: "Give me back my son!"
This roar was like a heavy bomb dropped into calm water, instantly causing a commotion on the deck.
What the heck, your son?
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was furious. To find its suddenly missing son, it had called upon all its relatives.
Finally, over a month later, it detected its son's aura on this ship... In another part of the sea, on the surface, Arthur was lying on top of a Deep Sea Demon Whale, sunbathing.
"Human, there's a good show to watch," the Deep Sea Demon Whale said gleefully, looking at the collision in the distance. "To think Spirit Beasts are actually attacking your side."
After spending time with Arthur, it knew the humans' strength very well. Those Spirit Beasts were going to have a bad time.
"Oh?" After receiving the message from the ship, Arthur's expression became strange. "My teacher says those Spirit Beasts are here to help a Deep Sea Demon Whale King find his son."
