Flamescale wagged its tail, its eyes gleaming with excitement. "Pfft! So, are you guys coming to tonight's event?"

A group of sea creatures immediately erupted in excitement. Some nodded excitedly, while others lowered their heads, their expressions gloomy.

"Pfft?" Flame Scale tilted its head. "Why do some of you fish look a little unhappy? Is this activity not good?"

Silence fell as the sea creatures stared at the abused creatures.

We've finally arrived! Flame Scale was filled with excitement.

It blinked and lowered its voice, saying, "Pfft, I used to be in the arena of life and death too. That feeling... I know."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion flashed in the eyes of the sea beasts.

A small, thin sponge-like creature finally spoke, its voice trembling: "My...my master likes to whip us with an electric whip. If we disobey even slightly, we get a severe beating. He won't allow me to come out at night."

"Hiss..." The other sea creatures gasped.

A wounded sea monster whispered, "I'm even worse off. My owner keeps me locked in a small iron cage and doesn't give me food for long periods. When I'm starving, I have to eat myself. He says I grow fast and can support myself..."

The surrounding sea creatures were stunned, some even began to sob.

Flamescale sighed and gently comforted, "Don't be afraid, you're safe now." It turned to the other sea creatures, "Pfft, things are different on our ship. Boss Fish is so kind to us!"

"Really?" A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the tortured sea creatures.

“Of course!” the pearl fish chimed in. “We get delicious food every day and we can play freely! The fishmonger doesn’t care about us at all.”

"Wow..." The abused sea creatures' eyes were full of envy.

Flamescale listened to the conversation, lost in thought. It secretly contacted Ais using its mental power: "Ais, you heard everything, didn't you?"

Ais didn't respond, but Yanlin knew he must understand what to do.

Suddenly, Gu Xi appeared, grabbed Yan Lin by the tail, and pulled it aside. Yan Lin was so startled that it almost screamed.

"What are you up to, kid?" Gu Xi asked in a low voice, his eyes sharp.

Yan Lin shrank back and chuckled awkwardly, "Pfft... It's nothing, just chatting with a new friend."

Gu Xi snorted coldly: "Don't give me that. Watch this area, pay attention. I'm going to find Ai Si."

She turned and left, and Yanlin breathed a sigh of relief. While continuing to mingle with the sea beasts, she also kept an eye on the area.

Gu Xi quickly found Ai Si, who was standing on the ship's side, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, his gaze deep.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xi walked to his side. "Your emotions are so volatile, even I can feel it."

Ais was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Puru~ I heard what those sea monsters went through."

Gu Xi raised an eyebrow: "You weren't this moved when you rescued Yan Lin before."

After a moment of thought, Ai Si smiled wryly and said, "Pu Lu Lu~ Maybe it's the experience I've had recently that made me realize that sea monsters shouldn't have to suffer like this."

Gu Xi didn't know whether his change was good or bad, but looking back on the journey, she also felt that he shouldn't have been treated this way.

Just as she was lost in thought, Ais's words interrupted her train of thought.

"Purr, Flamescale has prepared an event tonight. I plan to return the sea beast bones I obtained from the ruins to the corresponding sea beasts."

Gu Xi looked up, her eyes lighting up: "Great idea! Now is indeed a good time, I support you."

She paused, then tentatively asked, "Do you want to save those sea monsters?"
