The sounds of impact were incessant, and Otter Rich could almost feel his "Hammering Master" talent skill generating "+1+1+1+1" practice experience points.
Anyway, he felt that the more he pounded the frying pan under his little paws, the more powerful and faster he became. If there were accompaniment, he might even be able to create a cheerful drumbeat.
But soon a large hand reached out to stop his punching, and even tried to grab the back of his neck.
Otter Fugui raised his eyebrows high. Although otters don't have eyebrows on their small faces, this didn't diminish their expressive disdain and mockery.
"Awoooo ...
Tui! You caught me before because I wasn't on guard. Now, let's see if you can even touch a single one of my shiny, smooth hairs!
The little sea otter, clutching his frying pan, slipped away from Xie Tianlang like a slippery fish, looking at him with its small chin held high and its small, black, grape-like eyes exuding a noble and aloof air.
"Aww!"
What are you doing?!
Xie Langren looked somewhat disappointed when he missed, but he seemed to have been born with the skill of "top-level observation," and could accurately judge the emotions and actions of the person being observed even if the person being observed was not human.
"Yuanyuan, don't be so formal. It's your dad!"
Then Xie received a sarcastic remark from the opposing sea otter, seemingly unable to contain his anger—
It turned out to be an internationally recognized greeting gesture, where a hand is trying to curl up the other hands, leaving only the middle one visible.
Xie Tianlang: "..."
Xie Tianlang burst out laughing: "Yuanyuan! A cute otter shouldn't make such an uncouth gesture!"
How interesting! After being able to swear, shop underwater, and smash fish with a frying pan, this little thing can even give him the middle finger.
Then Xie Tianlang, in high spirits, picked up his knife, laughed, and chopped it into the head of the unconscious swordfish.
One fatal blow.
A tyrant of the sea died because of the treacherous schemes of humans and the betrayal of sea otters.
"...Fuck you..."
The stab startled Gou Fugui, who instinctively withdrew his middle finger. He was once again certain that the person in front of him was a werewolf.
He's also a werewolf with a bizarre thought process.
Under normal circumstances, it's best not to confront this guy head-on, or he might just keep arguing with you to the bitter end. Tsk.
"Alright. We've finally caught a ferocious fish that's even bigger than a tuna." Xie Tianlang said nonchalantly, casually grabbing a wet towel and tying it to his bloodied left hand.
Then he reached out with his right hand toward the huge swordfish, which was three meters long.
Gou Fugui thought he was going to drag the swordfish away, so he floated on the water to watch him.
Who knew this guy would be so ruthless, suddenly lunging forward and scooping the whole otter into his arms!
"Holy crap?!"
"Alright, alright, stop moving around. You're not even willing to lie on this free human-shaped chair? It even has a built-in temperature control and heating function, so don't be picky."
Xie Tianlang held down the struggling Otter Fugui, but still managed to pinch the scruff of his neck and asked a question that almost made Otter Fugui faint:
"Yuanyuan, have you become a spirit?"
Otter Fugui's eyes widened instantly. This soul-searching question was so sudden and unbelievable that even though Otter Fugui quickly started to pretend to be stupid and shout, his momentary stiffness and shock could not escape Xie Tianlang's perception and eyes.
Xie Tianlang laughed.
"So, can you become a human? Like, a beautiful woman with long hair, phoenix eyes, and a high nose?"
Gou Fugui: "..." Wasn't your analogy a bit too pointed?!
In a flash, Gou Fugui's nose broke out in a sweat, his mind raced, and he finally uttered a sarcastic remark:
"Become human my foot! Don't compare Daddy to stupid humans! Daddy's shiny, smooth fur is the best, why would I want to become human and grow useless long hair??"
"Let me go right now, or I'll sink you with my army of sea otters!!"
Faced with the difficult choice between being completely exposed and becoming a master of disguise, the wealthy beauty opted for the latter.
Xie Tianlang stared intently at the little sea otter, who had finally stopped pretending to be stupid and started barking at him. His sharp, wolf-like eyes scrutinized the otter for a long time before he finally nodded.
"Alright. Looks like you're a lucky sea otter who can understand human speech."
Otter Fugui raised its little head high: "So what if you can understand human speech? The ocean is about to flood the land, and you humans still think of yourselves as vegetables?"
"Even an otter with a talent for languages could understand your human speech!"
Xie Tianlang smiled again, put Otter Fugui on his shoulder, and this time it looked like he was really dragging the swordfish.
"When I fainted on the beach, did you drag me ashore?"
Gou Fugui, who hadn't let his guard down, sneered inwardly upon hearing this, thinking, "I knew you were still digging a hole for me."
"Dad isn't a dolphin, and he's not going to push you ashore. When I woke up, I was floating on the beach, wanting to drink some soda, but I had to run into you, this persistent ghost."
"Ugh!" What bad luck!
Xie Tianlang seemed exceptionally tolerant and cheerful when facing the little sea otter. As he dragged the fish away, he said, "This is fate. Yuanyuan, don't struggle anymore, you are destined to be my otter."
Otter Fugui gagged a few times in perfect cooperation, then turned his small body around and fished out his shopping net, which had been pierced by the swordfish.
The situation inside the large net bag was appalling. Not only was it torn open, but his sugary drinks, canned milk and meat, and his entire snack gift bag had all leaked and gotten wet.
The furious otter yelped several times in place, pounding its two little paws hard against the flat-bottomed stone pot floating next to it.
"unlucky!!"
Otter Rich's black grape-like eyes stared at Xie Tianlang.
Xie Tianlang coughed twice. He had indeed brought trouble to his Yuanyuan this time, and Yuanyuan had also played a crucial role in successfully catching this big fish.
"Okay, don't be angry. How about I fill the net back up for you? I promise there will still be soda, milk powder, and canned meat."
Otter Rich stared at him with his small eyes and added in a gloomy tone, "And potato chips, spicy strips, and chocolate, not one less."
Xie Tianlang reached out and patted his forehead with his right hand, unable to suppress a laugh.
"Where did you learn all this stuff? Don't you know you should eat less junk food and that seafood is nutritious?"
"I've been eating seafood my whole life! With the supermarkets flooded, can't we at least try something different?!"
Xie Tianlang finally burst into laughter, speechless. He then went into the water to retrieve snacks for his Yuanyuan.
Gou Fugui watched as the man's tall and slender body, like a powerful fish, repeatedly dived into the water and surfaced again, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Maybe this guy is a fan of cute things like him? He can't resist cute little creatures?
However, he ultimately did not allow Xie Tianlang to dive a third time.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to fish anymore. It's slow and inefficient."
"Hurry up and carry your big fish, or the supermarket will be stained with blood."
Xie Tianlang had just put two cans of milk powder into the mesh bag when he heard this and glanced at his bloodied and mangled left hand.
"Is Yuanyuan concerned about me?"
Otter Fugui rolled his eyes.
Xie Tianlang reached out and quickly ruffled Otter's little head: "This little injury isn't even enough to fill my teeth."
Otter Fugui looked at the towel, which was now completely stained red by the snow, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Your understanding of minor injuries is definitely different from mine.
Xie Tianlang eventually refilled Ta Fugui's shopping bag.
Then he found a rope, tied it to the swordfish, and dragged it out to swim.
"Yuanyuan, want to come back with me? Daddy will feed you grilled swordfish. It smells delicious!"
Otter Fugui refused without hesitation, and looked at the man with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "You want a sea otter to come ashore with you? Have you lost your mind?"
"Foolish humans! Even your supermarkets belong to the ocean. How far are you from becoming the ocean from the land?"
Xie Tianlang: "..."
Damn. That makes so much sense, he couldn't even argue with it.
"Well, then I can catch some fish for you to eat..."
Otter Rich waved his little paws dismissively: "Have some self-awareness. Who will raise whom in the end is still uncertain."
"Considering we've been through thick and thin together, if you ever find yourself unable to survive in the sea, this otter of destiny might consider adopting a pet."
Xie Tianlang: "...Cough!"
"Alright, stop wasting time. Time is life! I'm going now."
"Don't even think about taming me. You don't have the ocean, and you're not the king of the sea!"
Then the all-powerful werewolf Xie watched as the proud and smug little sea otter wiggled its little bottom and swam away quickly, dragging a net full of food.
After a long while, he finally chuckled helplessly, "What a dashing wild otter."
But that's fine too; sea otters should live happily and freely in the sea.
...if it really is just a sea otter.
After Gou Fugui left, Xie Tianlang didn't waste any time. Although he always maintained a tough werewolf persona in front of his pet Yuanyuan, he still needed to disinfect and treat the injury on his hand.
Moreover, catching a swordfish had taken a lot of effort for him, so it was time for him to go back and rest.
Putting everything else aside, this ferocious fish in the sea is definitely much bigger and more numerous than the tuna caught by that wealthy beauty.
Xie Tianlang left in a cheerful mood.
And when his figure could no longer be seen, Otter Fugui, who had already wandered off, returned furtively.
"That werewolf Xie is like a persistent ghost, making me come back and make another trip."
After surviving the ordeal, Otter Fugui immediately confirmed that no one was around and quickly transformed back into a human.
He grabbed his small backpack from the locker as fast as he could and quickly pulled on his clothes. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
He found a new fishing net in a fishing tackle shop outside the mall, and replaced the large net bag that had a big hole and had been repaired by Xie Tianlang with the new net. Finally, he pulled two light sun-protective clothes from the floating water and draped them over his fishing net before carrying it back home.
Along the way, Gou Fugui saw many people like him who were out looking for food.
Most of these people were in groups of two or three, and they all looked at the obviously large bundle on Gou Fugui's back with curious eyes.
But at this point, it's not likely that anyone would try to steal it.
Even so, Gou Fugui quickened his pace to swim back. The city was being submerged by the sea, and order was gradually becoming chaotic as the seawater surged up. Don't challenge human nature.
Gou Fugui, who had unlocked his sea otter bloodline talent, swam very fast. Even though he took one more turn than Xie Tianlang, he arrived at the stadium's safe zone almost at the same time as Xie Tianlang.
The large package that Gou Fugui was carrying was originally quite eye-catching, but...
How should I put it, compare the sizes?
When Xie Tianlang half-dragged and half-carried the three-meter-long, three-hundred-pound sea monster, no one could take their eyes off it—
"Holy crap!!"
Mom, come out and see this miracle with me!!
Author's Note:
Xie Tianlang: Yuanyuan, come with me and I'll take care of you!
Otter Rich: Wake up, who knows who will be supporting whom in the end.
