Upon hearing the commotion, Gu Xi quickly stepped out of the house and onto the pergola platform, which offered a panoramic view.
At this moment, the ghost ship lay silently anchored in the waters about a hundred meters away from her. The thin mist that had previously obscured her view had quietly dissipated.
With the help of the dim light, Gu Xi could clearly see the ghost ship opposite him.
Just as she was pondering how to greet the sea ghost in the most appropriate way to maximize her favorability, a voice suddenly rang out in the air, breaking the silence.
"Traveler ahead, we are sea spirits, wandering the waves. We hold countless rare treasures in our hands. Do you have any needs?"
Gu Xi felt it. This telepathic communication was done through mental energy. As long as mental energy was used for communication, language was no longer an obstacle.
She manipulated her mental power, letting her thoughts flow like a gentle breeze, and her words traveled aloud. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I also have something to trade. Would you be willing to come aboard my ship?"
Although the Deepsea Clan Compendium says that the Sea Ghost is gentle, she's not so reckless as to board someone else's ship. Therefore, if the two sides are to make a deal, the Sea Ghost will definitely have to be on her ship.
Then, the sea ghost's voice drifted over again. "Please wait a moment, guest."
Gu Xi curiously observed the ghost ship not far away. Two semi-transparent phantoms floated out of the ship's cabin. Their figures were like illusions woven from moonlight and seawater, light and graceful.
As they sway, their colors change, sometimes as vibrant as deep-sea coral, sometimes shimmering like stars in the night sky. It's quite interesting.
The Sea Ghost noticed Gu Xi's scrutiny and spoke again. "Guest, is there anything I can help you with?"
Gu Xi shook her head. Of course, she couldn't say that she was just curious, so she replied, "I'm just curious about what you all have."
Then she saw the phantom of the sea ghost opposite her solidify a bit, and its voice became deeper. "The sea ghost only ever sells the best stuff!"
Seeing their expressions, Gu Xi understood; they were showing pride. So she went along with it, saying, "I'm really looking forward to it."
After speaking with the sea ghosts, she saw two sea ghosts descend directly to the surface of the sea and then float onto her ship.
She kept a close eye on it throughout the entire process. If the sea ghost hadn't been so pretty and could talk, she probably would have just started the boat without saying a word.
Sea ghosts slowly floated onto Gu Xi's boat; their translucent forms appeared particularly ethereal in the dim light of the night.
Their eyes, like deep whirlpools, scrutinized the ship. Finally, a sea ghost broke the silence, "Guest, your ship is truly amazing. To be able to build a dwelling with ember crystals—such a material is rare in the deep sea."
As traders in the deep sea, the sea spirits naturally favored wealthy guests. They were already plotting how to display their treasures to this rich traveler.
However, just as they were making their plans, they sensed a warm and pure aura of happiness emanating from Gu Xi. Touched by this aura, the two sea ghosts began to glow.
The sudden light startled Gu Xi, filling her with confusion. She had no idea why the two deep-sea creatures had suddenly started glowing.
"Distinguished guest."
Gu Xi sighed, "After shining brightly, even my words have changed."
Do you have any sea candy?
"Ah, we smell happiness! This long-lost treasure, we never expected to find it here."
