"Make friends? With the little guys in our clan?" The Demon Soul Shark King was instantly delighted at the thought of this possibility, but before he could be happy for long, Bai Xiuxiu's next words made him fall silent.
"No, Dad, we walk on two legs! I remember now! It's what you always talk about, humans."
"Humans?" The Demon Soul Shark King looked at his daughter in surprise. He really didn't expect Bai Xiuxiu to be so bold as to venture into an area inhabited by humans on her own.
The Shark Queen anxiously examined Bai Xiuxiu's body and asked, " Bai Paopao, are you alright? Those humans didn't hurt you, did they?"
Bai Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, that person ran away as soon as he saw me."
"That's good, that's good. Look at you, being so naughty. What would your dad and I do if something happened to you?"
Bai Xiuxiu's tone immediately softened, and she said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't go out next time."
Seeing her daughter obediently admit her mistake, the Shark Queen didn't scold her anymore. Instead, she hugged her and gently stroked her little head.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the two Demon Soul Great White Shark swam over and reported to the Shark King: "Your Majesty, those despicable Deep Sea Demon Whale have reappeared in the distant deep sea."
The Demon Soul Shark King asked, "Are there many this time?"
"There are only five or six of them; they're probably just testing us."
At this moment, an even larger Demon Soul Great White Shark slowly swam over, and the two great white sharks respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The old king said in a hoarse voice, "Well, you two have worked hard. I'd like to speak with your king for a while."
"Yes, sir!"
After the two great white sharks retreated, the Demon Soul Shark King asked the old king, "Dad, should we take the initiative to attack?"
The old king nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, if they dare to approach again, make sure they don't leave alive."
"That old guy hasn't woken up yet, but we don't have much time left, sigh!"
However, when the old king saw Bai Xiuxiu swimming towards him, his sorrowful expression vanished, and his eyes were filled with loving kindness.
"Grandpa, why are you only coming back now?"
"Oh, our Xiuxiu really dotes on her grandpa."
The Shark King and his wife were genuinely happy to see this scene, as the old king had indeed not returned for a long time.
Their safe return is obviously something to be happy about for the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.
Moreover, it provides an extra layer of security for the future survival of the community.
At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu suddenly asked, "Grandpa, what do you think humans are like?"
The old king looked down at his granddaughter, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Humans are a mix of good and bad, just like the Soul Beast living in the ocean. To us, the Deep Sea Demon Whale are the bad guys, while the good guys are our people."
"But Xiuxiu, you must remember that most humans are enemies to us Soul Beast, so you need to be careful."
Bai Xiuxiu shook her head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "But... why is that blacksmith from ten thousand years ago with a Blue Silver Grass?"
The old king was suddenly stumped. Of course, he knew who Bai Xiuxiu was talking about, but he still said in a daze, "Um... well... but humans and Soul Beast can't really be together after all. Weren't they besieged by those humans from the Spirit Hall?"
"But now that the Spirit Hall no longer exists, doesn't that mean no one will stop humans and Soul Beast from being together?"
Bai Xiuxiu thought for a moment, then continued, "If I can transform into a human, he should be willing to be my friend, right?"
At this moment, the Shark Queen, somewhat exasperated, scolded her, " Bai Paopao! Do you know what you're doing?"
"But... he's really good-looking. Is there anything wrong with wanting to be friends with him?"
" Bai Paopao, stop being unreasonable! If you keep this up, I'm not talking to you anymore."
However, the old king intervened, saying, "Quiet down, everyone! What kind of mess is this?"
" Xiuxiu, listen to your grandfather's advice. Humans and Soul Beast are destined to have no bright future."
Bai Xiuxiu retorted somewhat indignantly, "Grandpa, you're lying! Their son became a god, and he's even with a Soul Beast!"
The strong opposition from her family further fueled Bai Xiuxiu's rebellious spirit, making her even more stubborn and unwilling to back down.
If her initial idea of transforming into a human wasn't mature enough, now she genuinely wants to do it.
"This... Xiuxiu... Sigh!" The old king couldn't utter a single word. After all, the facts were undeniable: humans were indeed more adept at becoming gods, while the current situation of Soul Beast seemed far from optimistic.
Even the old king had a thought in his mind: maybe he could actually win a divine position by agreeing to his granddaughter's request.
At that time Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan will no longer be able to threaten them, and they will no longer need to migrate constantly every year, always on guard against the underhanded tactics of those old guys.
The Demon Soul Shark King, of course, didn't get involved in this matter either, since with the old man around, he wouldn't be of much use.
His primary responsibility now is to ensure the smooth functioning of the entire community and to guard against potential dangers at all times.
The family continued swimming slowly in the sea, but the atmosphere was unusually quiet. They were all silent, seemingly considering what Bai Xiuxiu had said.
In the afternoon, Cao Yu, feeling bored, made a few surfboards and then invited He Caitou to go surfing.
This time, however, they dared not stray too far from the beach, as no one wanted to repeat what had happened before.
"Haha, He Caitou, you can barely stand up straight, you're soaked to the bone again!"
Ye Xiaosheng laughed heartily as he watched He Caitou clumsily being shoved into the water by a large wave, only to get back up after a few splashes.
But before he could be arrogant for long, a huge wave crashed down on him from behind, and he lost his balance and fell into the water with a Ye Xiaosheng.
"Haha, Ye Xiaosheng, you're all talk and no action. Look at the state you've become." He Caitou laughed smugly, but when they saw Cao Yu playing quite skillfully, they didn't hesitate to start learning from him.
Cao Yu shared his surfing experience with them without reservation, but whether they could learn it depended entirely on their own abilities.
The sun gradually set, soon disappearing into the horizon.
No one lingered any longer; they all packed their things and headed to the Linhai Grand Hotel.
After showering, everyone put on new clothes and went to the restaurant on the first floor for a meal.
Chen Beifeng, without any hesitation, ordered several plates of beef, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said with a grin, "This is what you call enjoying yourself! This trip was definitely worthwhile."
"Hey, Boss Cao, is your hometown near the sea?"
Cao Yu shook his head, stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, and said, "No, why would you ask that?"
"How do you know so many? You can surf, swim, and do everything."
"Haha, I learned that in my dream."
