After jumping into the sea, everyone calmed down and busied themselves catching fish. The underwater environment was dim, which helped the emperor penguins adapt to quite well.

Everyone was much more active than before, jumping and leaping in the seawater, splashing a lot of water onto their companions. The emperor penguins happily called out as the water cascaded down on them.

"quack--"

At this moment, Xu Qiaoqiao also jumped into the sea. Perhaps it was the sense of responsibility of the leader that was at play. Jun Qi was really doing a good job as the leader. Usually, when there was any danger, he would call Happy to notify everyone immediately. Whether before leaving or when returning, he would count the number of emperor penguins to see if anyone had fallen behind.

Besides these, as mentioned before, Junqi never missed a single daily summary speech or pre-departure safety briefing.

Xu Qiaoqiao still remembers the first time she saw Jun Qi do such a thing. The emperor penguin was completely stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Gah gah?" Junjun, who taught you all this?

As Jun Qi watched the emperor penguins waddle away, he rubbed against Xu Qiaoqiao's back. Upon hearing her question, he didn't think twice and immediately poked the chestnut out.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

I was wondering how Junjun could have come up with such a clever idea on her own. I never imagined that Lizi had also played a part in it.

Some cats, though they are dead, are still alive.

Therefore, Jun Qi would always be the last to go into the sea and return to shore after fishing, so that he could take Xu Qiaoqiao back when there were no more emperor penguins left in the sea.

This time was the same, even though the two of them were walking in front.

There are many kinds of fish in the sea, but Xu Qiaoqiao only eats the ones she knows well. She doesn't eat unfamiliar fish much. She ate in pretty much the same way in her previous lives.

Perhaps it is the instinct in the blood of emperor penguins that tells them that at this time of year, they must eat more to store fat, so that they can survive for a while longer.

At this time of year, adult emperor penguins are usually courting mates. Once they find one, they reproduce normally, lay eggs, and incubate them. During this time, they don't have time to go fishing at the beach.

The emperor penguins came here just to fill their stomachs. They weren't really in the mood to play. After finishing their meal, they went ashore without delay and lined up behind the emperor penguin in front of them. Everyone did the same.

After Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi got ashore, Xu Qiaoqiao saw several neat rows of emperor penguins lined up there, and she could recognize the emperor penguin at a glance.

—Oka.

After all, the rope binding the other person hasn't been untied yet.

This guy didn't really want the rope to be untied. Emperor penguins all look the same, and once Oka was tied with a rope, he could be immediately distinguished from the other emperor penguins.

He felt quite proud of himself.

Oka: I'm the brightest little one in the emperor penguin colony!

After seeing Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi come ashore, Oka ran over excitedly and shouted at Jun Qi a few times, meaning: Boss, everyone is assembled, we can set off!

Jun Qi shook the water off his feathers, glanced at the rows of emperor penguins beside him, then turned his gaze to Oka and said casually, "Let's go then."

"Gah gah!" Yes, boss.

After saying that, Oka ran back and quacked three times at the front of the group. Soon, the emperor penguins started quacking along with him.

After everyone finished shouting, they began to move, slowly advancing towards the gathering place.

They move in columns, following a very regular pattern.

Xu Qiaoqiao stood to the side, watching the emperor penguins' movements, tilting her head with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. What were they up to this time?

She turned her gaze back to Jun Qi, gestured to the emperor penguins, and asked: Did you do this?

Jun Qi also turned to look at her, his little wings still fluttering. His eyes were very dark. After receiving Xu Qiaoqiao's question, Jun Qi answered very decisively: That's right, I did it. Qiaoqiao, what do you think?

Got it, that's what Chestnut taught me.

Xu Qiaoqiao immediately understood what this meant. She glanced at the obedient movements of the emperor penguins and recalled the cat world before, with its line of cats. How could Junjun have thought of all this?

These emperor penguins are less than a year old, still babies. The children have to listen to their kindergarten teachers. This is like Junjun being the kindergarten teacher, you being the teaching assistant, Happy being the class monitor, and Oka being a vice class monitor.

The thought of this identity made Xu Qiaoqiao chuckle. The older child was leading the younger child, and their identities actually matched up.

Hmm... if that's the case, I wonder if there are any study committee members or something, then it would be complete.

Jun Qi noticed Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly laughing. He tilted his head, leaned closer to her, and until their beaks touched, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gah—" Qiaoqiao, what are you thinking about?

Xu Qiaoqiao quickly snapped out of her own mental conjecture. Looking into Jun Qi's eyes and remembering what he had just done with Oka, she couldn't help but laugh again.
