A Gift for Qin Qi, the Purest Kindness!

"Why do you all look like you're ready to fight to the death?"

"I was going to say that although you've done wrong, the strong devouring the weak is simply nature in the sea."

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, you devouring those Sea Soul Beasts was also natural selection."

"I can't kill you over that, but you are still a threat to the ocean."

Qin Qi looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. If the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had done anything wrong, it was having too big an appetite.

But whales naturally had huge appetites in the sea. You couldn't kill someone just because they ate a lot.

The Sea God's greatest reason for arranging the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's death was that he had refused to submit to him.

"Human, y-you're not going to kill us?!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had regained his ability to move. Upon hearing Qin Qi's words, his eyes filled with shock.

He knew very well what he was to humans: a Million-Year Soul Ring!

Soul Bones all over his body, an irresistible temptation!

"You're going to let them go?!"

Bo Saixi also wore a stunned expression. She had not expected Qin Qi to make such a decision.

"That's right. I don't plan to kill you for that reason. And Bo Saixi, don't look so shocked."

"A big appetite isn't a sin. If hunting other living creatures to grow stronger and survive is a sin—"

"Then every Soul Master deserves to die."

Qin Qi remembered that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had devoured quite a few Sea Soul Beasts, but as for actively going ashore to attack humans—

He had never heard of that. This fellow seemed to rarely move at all, lazy as hell.

"B-but..."

Bo Saixi wanted to say something else, but after thinking it over, she truly could not find any reason they absolutely had to kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

"We could kill them with the power of Sea God Guga and Zero Doro."

"Right now, I could make the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King die just by moving my lips."

"But what good would his death do us? No good, no harm. Whether to kill him or not is just a matter of a single thought."

Qin Qi spread his hands before his chest, then reached out and hugged Guga and the Doros.

"But unfortunately, I'm not someone who likes slaughter. I like Guga and Doro."

"Guga and Doro don't like slaughter either. We won't harm other creatures for no reason."

"Especially when that creature is carrying an unborn baby."

A smile hung on Qin Qi's face as he spoke.

"Guga! (That's right, human is right. Guga is a good Guga.)"

"Doro, doro. (The unborn baby is innocent. We can't hurt her.)"

"Guga! (Guga likes human the most.)"

"Doro, doro. (Orange!)"

Guga and the Doros tightly embraced Qin Qi as well, adorable and innocent smiles appearing on their faces.

Bo Saixi watched the scene, and something in her heart stirred. Such pure kindness was truly a rare sight.

There were still people this kind on this continent. How fortunate she was to have met them.

"Thank you all so much."

After hearing Qin Qi's words, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fell silent for a long time. To grow stronger and fight against the Sea God—

He had devoured many Sea Soul Beasts. Throughout it all, he had never considered what those Sea Soul Beasts thought.

He had believed that nothing mattered as long as it made him stronger, but now his thoughts had changed.

Perhaps he had been wrong from the beginning. When the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at his wife—

That thought became even stronger.

"Thank us? If you want to thank us, then do something substantial."

Qin Qi looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, smiled, and spoke.

"What?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King asked.

"Guga! (Guga can sense the sea creatures inside your body.)"

"Guga! (As the price for the bad things you did before, Guga will strip away all your power.)"

"Guga! (And use that power to revive those Soul Beasts.)"

Qin Qi glanced at Sea God Guga. Sea God Guga nodded, then raised the Trident in her hand.

"You may not have understood that, so let me translate for you."

Qin Qi translated Sea God Guga's words, then asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

"No. The strong devour the weak, and the fittest survive. Those are the laws of the sea."

"I'm already satisfied that you chose not to kill me and my wife. As for my power—"

"The Sea God has already been defeated by you. This power is useless to me now."

"Take it."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at his wife. If power could be exchanged for a peaceful life—

Then that was not so bad.

"Guga!"

Sea God Guga raised the Trident in her hand, and the million years of power accumulated by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began to drain away.

His ninety-percent divine body began to collapse as well, its energy shaping itself into one Sea Soul Beast after another.

All those Soul Beasts were revived under Sea God Guga's power, rising to the surface.

Together, they lowered their heads to Sea God Guga, displaying respect and submission.

This was not forced. They were sincerely grateful to Sea God Guga!

"All right, the matter is settled. You can leave now. Remember not to do bad things again."

"Sea God Guga will always be watching you."

Qin Qi looked at the Sea Soul Beasts, then at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and spoke.

"Roar!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King felt incomparably weak at that moment, yet his heart felt much lighter.

He lowered his head and bowed to Qin Qi in thanks, then left with his wife.

The Sea Soul Beasts also knew that their revival had something to do with Qin Qi. They lowered their heads to thank him as well.

Then they let out all kinds of cries before turning and sinking back into the sea!

"Whew, it's finally settled."

Qin Qi looked at the sea, which had returned to calm, and took a deep breath.

This journey was finally coming to an end.

"Sea God Guga, we're going home. But don't worry, we'll come visit you often."

Qin Qi picked up Sea God Guga and took out many Cookies and Oranges as farewell gifts for her.

"Guga! (Human, Guga has a gift for you too.)"

Sea God Guga rummaged through her pockets, then pulled out a Golden Trident and handed it to Qin Qi.

"Guga! (This is Guga's most treasured Trident. Human, it's for you.)"

Sea God Guga said.

"Forget it. Don't you really like Tridents? Keep it for yourself and play with it."

Qin Qi looked at the divine artifact-level Trident. He did want it a little, but after thinking it over, he still refused.

"Guga! (Hehe, if Guga carries too many, Guga might lose them again.)"

"Guga! (Keep this with human. If Guga loses one someday, Guga can come to human and get it.)"

Sea God Guga scratched her head and spoke with a giggle.

"You little... All right, I'll keep it for you for now. If you lose one again, come get it from me."

Qin Qi smiled and reached out to accept the Trident. The moment he touched it—

A Trident of the Sea God mark appeared directly on the back of his hand. There were no trials, no danger.

Just like that, the Trident of the Sea God smoothly acknowledged him as its master.

Qin Qi accepted the Trident of the Sea God, then turned to look at Bo Saixi.
