The following afternoon.
Liam sat on a lounge chair on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze while updating his Diary.
Beside him, Ye Lingling gently fed him fruit. From time to time, Liam even requested to be fed mouth-to-mouth or played a couple of rounds.
He was completely unaware of what kind of surprise would arrive tonight.
[Today is another day full of spirit!]
[Sea God Island is getting closer and closer. I originally thought these few days on the ship would be very boring, but I never could have imagined this!]
[Really not bad!]
[Let me see what today's Diary entry should be about?]
[Today, I'll write about the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.]
When Bibi Dong and the others saw the Diary content, they looked at Liam with some resentment. Last night, they had spent a lot of effort but still failed to dig out Liam's secrets.
Now they were even more curious.
What exactly do you mean by "really not bad"?
Is it the Ice Empress?
[Bi Ji—the Emerald Swan, one of the core Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, a healing-type Soul Beast, ranked fourth among the ten great fierce beasts.]
[Bi Ji is the Clan Leader of the Emerald Swan clan. The Emerald Swan is also the most powerful healing-type Soul Beast. Their numbers are very scarce, and because they are highly nourishing for other Soul Beasts, it makes the Emerald Swan clan's numbers even rarer.]
[Bi Ji is a very lucky swan. When she was very young, she accidentally saved a very weak Soul Beast.]
[At that time, she didn't even know what species that Soul Beast was, but that Soul Beast's father was actually a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. It protected Bi Ji as she grew up for a full thousand years.]
[After reaching a thousand-year cultivation, the life force contained within the Emerald Swan became even more massive, to the point that it attracted the covetous eyes of many Soul Beasts.]
[The kind-hearted Bi Ji never held grudges. After those Soul Beasts were defeated or injured by her protector, she would always persuade him to spare their lives and would treat them herself.]
[Over time, some Soul Beasts she had treated chose to stay by her side and protect her.]
[Under the protection of these Soul Beasts, Bi Ji grew rapidly. These Soul Beasts constantly brought her various high-energy foods from the Great Forest. Bi Ji's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, her healing abilities became stronger and stronger, and the supporters around her grew in number.]
On the other side.
Gu Yuena and her group stood on the surface of the sea not far from the fleet, waiting for the arrival of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark.
After Ah Yin finished reading the Diary entry, she couldn't help but shout to Bi Ji:
"Sister Bi Ji, you are simply the pride of our Soul Beast race. You are too kind and too great."
Bi Ji said somewhat shyly, "It... it's not as good as Liam wrote."
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress spoke with faces full of admiration:
"We all rule by force, but you, Bi Ji, win people over with virtue."
"You truly are great!"
Gu Yuena also nodded with great satisfaction.
Just then, a large shark swam over from the distance. Once close, it transformed into a human figure, flew out of the water, and bowed to Gu Yuena:
"Xiao Bai pays respects to the Lord."
The Devil Spirit Great White Shark emerged from the water, transforming into a beautiful woman with long, shoulder-length grey-blue hair and an exotic flair.
Gu Yuena said indifferently:
"Rise!"
"You are the Leader of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan, correct?"
"Yes, Lord."
Xiao Bai replied.
Bi Ji opened her mouth to ask: "Then in your clan, is there one named Bai Xiuxiu?"
"Bai Xiuxiu?"
Hearing Bi Ji's question, Xiao Bai shook her head and said, "No, there is no one named Bai Xiuxiu."
Ah Yin looked at Bi Ji, thought for a moment, and said:
"In your clan, is there anyone with particularly good talent, for example, someone who could inherit your mantle in the future? Or rather! Someone who could Breakthrough to a hundred-thousand-year cultivation level in twenty thousand years?"
This?
Hearing Ah Yin's words, Xiao Bai also fell into deep thought.
"That is hard to say—"
The world of Soul Beasts is different from humans after all. Furthermore, regarding Ah Yin's question, that's about whether someone can break through to a hundred-thousand-year cultivation level more than twenty thousand years into the future!
This question isn't just about talent, but about which lucky Soul Beast can live safely for over twenty thousand years.
Gu Yuena said with a serious face:
"We are looking for a girl named Bai Xiuxiu. She exists in the future and belongs to your Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan."
"After you return immediately, start searching with all your might. If you can find her and bring her to see me, I will grant her an Opportunity."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't find her. Assemble all those in your clan with high cultivation and good talent near Sea God Island."
"In two days, I will personally go to investigate."
"Yes, Lord."
Xiao Bai immediately agreed to Gu Yuena's command, but she hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask:
"Lord, what are those many ships and human Soul Masters over there for?"
Gu Yuena's brow furrowed slightly as her gaze landed on Xiao Bai, and she asked, "You have the Sea God's Divine Power on you?"
"Lord, I—"
Xiao Bai was immediately so frightened that she knelt before Gu Yuena, her voice trembling:
"Reporting to the Lord, Xiao Bai was once the Sea God's... was the Sea God's mount, therefore I was once blessed by him."
"I see."
Gu Yuena said with a calm expression:
"Regardless of what you were in the past, go back now and carefully carry out the task I assigned."
"As for those human Soul Masters, they are currently our allies. They are about to go and subdue Sea God Island. When the time comes, you and your clansmen must not interfere in this matter."
What.
Xiao Bai felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
Human Soul Masters?
Going to subdue Sea God Island?
And they are allies of the Soul Beast Clan?
"Yes, Lord."
Xiao Bai did not dare to resist and took her leave, diving into the water.
The Ice Empress crossed her arms and watched the direction Xiao Bai left, asking, "Lord, why don't we recruit her?"
Gu Yuena said calmly:
"She is the Sea God's mount. Let's first test her heart to see if it is still with our Soul Beast Clan."
"I understand."
Zi Ji spoke up: "Lord, you just told her that Spirit Hall is going to subdue Sea God Island to test if she will tip off Sea God Island?"
Gu Yuena nodded slightly:
"Correct! Those fellows' believers in the Lower Realm are also very loyal, so I want to see if she will be like Bo Saixi before I can draw a conclusion."
"Of course, she definitely wouldn't dare to disobey the command I gave her."
Ah Yin thought for a bit and said:
"Lord, I have an idea that might help us find Bai Xiuxiu."
"Oh?"
Gu Yuena and the others all looked at Ah Yin.
Ah Yin explained:
"The main reason we can't find Bai Xiuxiu now is that we don't understand her, and she hasn't grown up yet."
"If we get another reward from the diary instance next and have Liam write about Bai Xiuxiu, we will definitely be able to find her."
Gu Yuena nodded, feeling this method was feasible.
Bi Ji said with a bitter smile:
"It feels like it will be very difficult!"
"We've taken all the rewards for the past few days. I feel like our luck recently might be about used up."
