Sensing Xu Qiaoqiao's somewhat disappointed mood, Jun Qi leaned over, turned his head, and kissed her cheek. Then, he pressed one of his pectoral fins against hers. The physical contact made Xu Qiaoqiao realize what was happening.

Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?

Xu Qiaoqiao received Jun Qi's concern. She shook her head to indicate that she was fine and responded to Jun Qi's actions. She had no feelings for her mother in this world, but she still felt a little melancholy when she thought of her occasionally.

Xu Qiaoqiao felt that she was overthinking things.

When we arrived at the East China Sea, it was two months later. At that time, it was summer, which is the season when typhoons are frequent.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were hesitant to linger on the sea, fearing they might be blown away by the typhoon. Although Xu Qiaoqiao was now a whale shark weighing about five tons, it was still best to be careful in the face of such natural disasters.

Arriving at this familiar yet unfamiliar sea, Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself: This is the closest she has ever been to her motherland.

Jun Qi didn't have many hidden agendas. He was focused on helping Xu Qiaoqiao find those delicious little fish, while also observing their surroundings. There were many traces of human activity in this sea area, and many ships were coming and going, which required special attention from the two of them.

After all, some humans enjoy torturing and killing whales or various large fish.

Jun Qi had a very deep impression of this kind of thing. When they arrived at this sea area, Xu Qiaoqiao noticed that he was much more vigilant. Even when he was playing around, he was paying attention to his surroundings.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought about what Jun Qi had experienced before, as well as some news about hunting whales or fish. Being more vigilant was not a bad thing.

It was Junjun's appearance that made Xu Qiaoqiao's heart clench, and she felt a pang of sadness. How terrible must the scenes that this child had witnessed have been?
