A "beautiful" figure jumped directly from a high place and plunged into the water with a splash.
The thud was so loud, louder than what Gu Xi was about to say.
Gu Xi swallowed her previous words and it took her a few breaths to find her words again.
"This? He jumped right away? So impatient?"
Ais answered almost indistinctly, "Purr~ Hmm~"
Gu Xi asked, "Is it alright?"
Aiss said with absolute certainty, "Puru! It's a sea monster, and its true form is much taller than the ice wall."
Gu Xi suddenly remembered Yan Lin's actions when it climbed the wall earlier. "But it seems to have a fear of heights."
"Acrophobia," Gu Xi explained to Ai Si, "is a feeling of extreme fear when looking down from a high place."
“Pluh! How could that be!” Ais immediately retorted. He simply couldn’t imagine that a sea monster over a hundred meters long would be afraid of looking down from a height of a hundred meters.
With a splash, water sprayed everywhere. Gu Xi instinctively dodged, and looked towards the center of the spray. It turned out that Yan Lin had swum to the icy shore and was preparing to come ashore.
"Pfft! What are you talking about?" Flame Scale lay on the shore, looking up at the human and beast talking.
Ai Si avoided the topic and looked up at the sky.
Gu Xi glanced at Ai Si, then turned to Yan Lin and asked, "I was asking him if you would get hurt if you jumped off the ice pillar."
She paused for a moment, then brought up the topic of acrophobia.
"Also, I've noticed that you seem to be a little afraid of heights."
Gu Xi's words were like the fuse of gunpowder; once lit, they exploded, and flames shot out from the scales on Yan Lin's body.
"Pfft, pfft! How, how is this possible! Who, who's afraid of heights! I, the mighty Flame Fish Beast, am much taller than an ice pillar!"
Gu Xi watched it quietly, and the more she looked at it, the more it stuttered, rambling on for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.
Suddenly, Ais spoke up, "Pfft! I wasn't wrong, was I?"
The more the two sea monsters acted this way, the more Gu Xi suspected they were up to something. Ai Si seemed to be covering for them, but perhaps she herself was trying to hide something.
Seeing that neither of the two sea monsters would let go, Gu Xi sighed and said, "As expected, the fish have grown up and have their own little secrets now."
The half-joking remark left the fish feeling utterly helpless.
The one human and the two sea monsters returned to the ship and resumed their "busy" lives. And so, the Flamefish Beast settled down on the Future.
As the size of the Future increased, the octopus, even with its eight arms, appeared unusually busy.
In addition, the newly arrived Flamefish Beast is also a lazy fellow, so its daily life also needs to be taken care of by the Octopus.
Although fish often eat fish food, slightly processed fish food is obviously more palatable.
For example, soaking fish food in fruit juice or stir-frying it makes it more fragrant are popular methods with fish. This means that an octopus has to care for even more fish.
So, at the octopus's insistence, Gu Xi decided to buy some sea creatures that could work on the ship, using the money he had previously obtained from the arena's sea ghost manager.
Incidentally, although she initially only asked for 10,000 gold coins, she earned more than that, and the person in charge of the Sea Ghost was honest and gave her all the money she earned.
A total of 14,500 gold coins.
This... it's clearly a large sum of money, but for some reason, Gu Xi still felt it was very little.
When Ai Si found out, she said it was because she had obtained too many gold coins in Iceland. Gu Xi thought he made sense.
After all, her daily gold coin income is only around 100 gold coins. At this rate, it would take her 100 days to accumulate 10,000 gold coins.
