Lu Ao froze.
Song Zhou added, "Rather than a territory, it would be more accurate to say that you and the ocean share a symbiotic relationship to some extent. If you're well, the ocean will be relatively well too. Likewise, if the ocean is well, you'll be well too."
Lu Ao muttered, "No wonder I've felt so weighed down all night."
