Chapter 176 Giving Gifts? This Ancient Divine Beast is Really Capable!
With a slight spatial fluctuation, the enormous body of the Listening Sea Beast vanished from its spot in an instant.
Success! Zhou Jue breathed a sigh of relief, greeted the old tree, and then turned and headed upstream without lingering.
"Splash!"
Zhou Jue swam to the surface and cleanly flipped onto the deck.
"Major General Zhou!" The soldiers who stayed behind immediately surrounded him, their faces filled with tension and concern: "How is it? Is everything alright?"
Zhou Jue waved his hand to indicate that he was alright: "I'm fine, the crisis is over."
She looked at Cheng Gan, who had come running at the sound of her voice, and said, "Sister Cheng Gan, the matter has been resolved. You can continue your patrol. I need to go back to the base to report the situation. We can contact each other again if anything comes up."
"Good!" Cheng Gan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Jue was safe and sound.
Zhou Jue nodded, strode towards the cabin, and had the system teleport her back to her room in the base.
As soon as she was teleported back to her room at the base, she couldn't wait to sit down cross-legged. With a thought, she instantly disappeared from the room and entered the Starry Sky Box.
As soon as he entered, Zhou Jue was stunned by the scene before him.
boom--!
A huge column of water shot into the sky from the brand-new artificial ocean, drawing an arc in the air before crashing back into the water with a loud splash!
Immediately afterwards, the enormous figure of the Listening Sea Beast leaped out of the water! It tumbled joyfully in the air, its massive body twisting and turning as it frolicked with abandon.
"Hahahaha! It has a spiritual aura! It really has a spiritual aura!"
The joyful voice of the sea creature echoed throughout the space, like a child who had received a beloved toy.
"Although this puddle is a bit small, I have to be careful even to turn over, but it has spiritual energy!"
"It's so warm and cozy, it feels so comfortable!"
"I'm finally not going to die! Hahahaha!"
It splashed around in the water, sometimes swishing its tail, sometimes spraying high jets of water, its immense joy making it temporarily forget its composure.
The old tree's voice, tinged with laughter, drifted over: "Look at your pathetic self, like you haven't taken a bath in tens of thousands of years."
"You don't know anything!" The Listening Sea Beast retorted without any politeness, but there was no anger in its tone, only joy: "You landlubber, do you know what the joy of taking a bath is? This is freedom! This is rebirth!"
It's in a good mood now, feeling reborn, and has completely forgotten that it originally promised to be kind to the dead wood.
Seeing this, Zhou Jue couldn't help but smile. She went straight to the edge of the ocean and asked, "Senior, are you getting used to it?"
The sea beast, which was frolicking, paused. Its massive body slowly sank into the water, leaving only its huge head exposed. It stared at Zhou Jue somewhat embarrassedly, wondering if it had been too out of line.
The ecstasy and vulgarity of the moment vanished instantly, replaced by solemnity and restraint. The withered wood had told it that the seemingly insignificant human before it was the true master of this space.
She gave herself a new life.
“Very good, I’m used to it.” The Sea Beast’s voice became steady: “The spiritual energy here is abundant, much better than outside! Although the ocean is a bit small, it is already a very, very good treasure land. Thank you.”
That "thank you" was incredibly sincere.
Zhou Jue smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm so grateful for your help. I have no way to repay you." The voice of the Listening Sea Beast rang out again: "This is for you, consider it a small gift."
As soon as it finished speaking, it opened its mouth slightly, and a round bead emitting a soft white light slowly flew out of its mouth and hovered in front of Zhou Jue.
“This is…” Zhou Jue looked at the small round bead with some curiosity.
“This is the ‘Listening Jewel’.”
The Listening Sea Beast explained, "This is the Listening Sea Clan. It takes thousands of years to condense the pure thoughts of countless living beings at the moment of their birth into a single entity."
"Wearing it, you will no longer need the power of that withered wood to understand the language of all sentient beings in this world."
"Whether it is a beast or a bird, or a plant or a rock, as long as it has developed its own 'wisdom', you can communicate with it."
Zhou Jue's eyes lit up instantly!
My darling!
This is absolutely a treasure!
She immediately thought of the adorable cats and dogs on Earth, as well as parrots and dolphins...
If only I could understand what they were saying...
Just thinking about that scene makes Zhou Jue incredibly excited!
"Thank you for your kindness, senior! I like it very much!" Zhou Jue was overjoyed and carefully held the Listening Pearl in his hand. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, like a piece of warm jade.
She looked up at the Listening Sea Beast and said sincerely, "Senior, this ocean was created by me in a hurry. It is indeed a bit small, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"If you feel cramped, you can expand it yourself."
"Just keep an eye on things and don't dig into the areas where I store my things or grow plants. There's plenty of open space over there, so feel free to do whatever you want." Zhou Jue pointed to the vast open space in the distance.
"Really?" The voice of the Listening Sea Beast revealed a hint of disbelief and surprise.
It originally thought that as a guest in someone else's house, it would be good enough to have a place to live. It never expected that its owner would be so generous as to allow it to "build" its own space. Does that mean it can modify it however it likes?
“Of course.” Zhou Jue nodded firmly.
"Hahahaha! Good! Good!" The Sea Listener could no longer contain its joy. It swung its huge tail and created a massive wave on the sea!
It was so happy!
"Little girl, you're a good person to get along with!" The Listening Sea Beast's thoughts were filled with joy and praise.
"Since that's the case, I can't be too stingy!"
Its enormous mouth opened again: "Here's another gift for you!"
Another gift? Zhou Jue was slightly taken aback.
A crystal-clear object resembling a fang flew out of the mouth of the Listening Sea Beast and stopped in front of Zhou Jue.
This "tooth" is about the size of a palm, and its entire surface is sculpted like ice crystals, radiating a faint coolness.
"What is this?" Zhou Jue looked at the Listening Sea Beast.
"This is a baby tooth I lost when I was young." The Listening Sea Beast's voice carried a hint of pride: "My Listening Sea Clan is born with the ability to hear all things, and every part of us is a treasure. This tooth naturally possesses a trace of my clan's talent."
"While you won't be able to achieve the same supernatural power as me—the ability to hear the thoughts of all things—wearing it will allow you to hear the 'heart's voice' of all living beings within a hundred paces around you," the Listening Sea Beast explained earnestly.
Zhou Jue's heart skipped a beat! A voice from the heart?! Was it the voice from the heart she understood?
