Zhang Bo knew he'd just rattled on and on without giving Xiao Xiao a chance to speak.
Now that he'd finished, asking Xiao Xiao to share his thoughts... what was there left to say?
"I suddenly feel like I have no regrets."
Zhang Bo grinned.
"Look, Third Brother, you're my roommate."
"You're so incredible, but I've never had any contact with a monster. It just didn't seem right, did it?"
"What a waste."
"It's not every day you have a friend like that..."
"But now it's all good."
"I've got a story to tell, too."
"Heh heh."
"Oh, right!"
"Third Brother, do you know that monster?"
Zhang Bo suddenly asked.
"I do."
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, not quite understanding why Zhang Bo had asked.
"Just as I thought..."
Zhang Bo murmured, "I knew it..."
"It's not unusual for the Sea God to save people."
"Other people have been saved by the Sea God before."
"Like that rich young master who inexplicably picked a fight last time."
"But I've never heard of anyone going back out to sea afterward and finding anything."
Zhang Bo had even asked his uncle about it again in detail.
His uncle had given him the same answer.
It wasn't that no one had ever been curious about the true identity of the Sea God who saved them.
But no one had ever found anything.
Those who didn't believe thought the drowning victims had just been lucky, and that the Sea God was only a hallucination brought on by being caught between life and death.
Those who believed were convinced that the sea was under the Sea God's protection, and felt even more grateful and reverent toward the Sea God.
"But, Third Brother, it makes sense if you know that monster."
Zhang Bo nodded.
