Watching that shaky little boat drift further and further away, until it was just a tiny black dot and disappeared from sight.
Xu Qiaoqiao withdrew her gaze, submerged herself slightly in the seawater, and gurgled as she blew bubbles. She nudged the merman next to her with her tail, as if to say, "We should go back now."
The sun is now directly overhead, its warm rays pouring down. The autumn sun is gentle and pleasant, with only a few wisps of melancholy wind blowing occasionally. The sea remains unchanged.
Jun Qi watched as Xu Qiaoqiao kept staring at the human woman's small boat. Suddenly, he remembered their unfinished trip last time. Considering Xu Qiaoqiao's recent condition, and thinking that he was now alright, he wondered if it was time to continue that matter.
Although the laid-back lifestyle is great, and traveling is also great, for Xu Qiaoqiao, Jun Qi is the best. She doesn't care whether she goes on a trip or not.
Of course, she was happy to be able to travel.
After all, the outside world is so beautiful. I heard that the creatures living in the Hot Sea are all colorful. To be honest, when Xu Qiaoqiao was in the human world, her life was very poor. This poverty does not refer to material poverty.
She has never seen the ocean, never traveled, and at most only looks at pictures online.
Moreover, due to its geographical location, snow is rarely seen, which explains why she loves and looks forward to snow so much. When the snow falls heavily, it has a magical power.
Jun Qi received Xu Qiaoqiao's signal and followed her around the corner. The weather was great today, and the two of them drove slowly on their way back. What should have been a morning's journey took them until dark before they got back.
Xu Qiaoqiao is awesome now, super powerful, so she deliberately slowed down on the way to wait for Jun Qi. Then, when he was about to swim over, she suddenly sped up again. While swimming, she even smugly wagged her tail at him.
Not only that, it also rolled over once in front of it.
Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's mischievous behavior, Jun Qi finally dropped his cold mask and smiled helplessly. He found Xu Qiaoqiao's behavior both childish and adorable.
This guy...
Then Jun Qi was happy to play along with Xu Qiaoqiao, and so they played until it was almost dark.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the darkening sky, flapped her pectoral fins, and thought, "Ah, I'm hungry. I should go find something to eat."
When Jun Qi, who had caught up with Xu Qiaoqiao, heard what she said, he naturally agreed.
Compared to the other half of the sea, this area is colder, but most of the krill that Xu Qiaoqiao loves to eat live in the cold waters. If you see one, it means that there is a group of krill living around.
The advantage of this food is that it's plentiful and filling.
For a fish like Xu Qiaoqiao who is somewhat perfunctory in even eating, krill is the best choice. Upon seeing a school of krill, she rushes straight in without a second thought, then opens her mouth with ease.
For Jun Qi, who knew Xu Qiaoqiao well, he didn't need to hear her thoughts to know what she wanted to eat. So he didn't say anything and slowly accompanied Xu Qiaoqiao to turn left, which was a shortcut.
While traveling, they were both very quiet. One of them was focused on thinking about food, while the other was not good with words and would occasionally utter a few words.
During the period when Jun Qi was just learning to speak, he talked and talked, but most of what he said was just repeating what Xu Qiaoqiao was thinking.
After this period of time, he returned to his previous state.
"Mmm~" Aww, Junjun, look! We're almost there! I can almost smell the food.
Blue whales have poor eyesight and can only see objects a dozen meters away, but the krill swarm was such a large and obvious mass that Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
She watched the krill swimming happily in the seawater; their fiery red color was visible even in the darkness—such an alluring color!
Slurp~
Xu Qiaoqiao felt her mouth watering. Hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's thoughts, Jun Qi pursed his lips and looked at the blue whale that couldn't contain itself and started to speed up. It really didn't hide anything and was as carefree as ever. He thought to himself: Qiaoqiao is really greedy.
When the swarm of krill suddenly rushed into this huge creature, everyone naturally scattered. But Xu Qiaoqiao was fast too; she opened her mouth and, with a whoosh, bit at the part of the swarm with the most krill.
According to incomplete statistics, a blue whale eats about 4 tons of small crustaceans such as krill a day to maintain its strength. During the day today, Xu Qiaoqiao did not eat anything except for the meal she ate in the morning.
After all, she couldn't possibly keep this from Junjun and sneak away to eat it herself.
Four tons is for maintaining physical strength, but for Xu Qiaoqiao, four tons is not enough at all. After all, she doesn't have any worries about losing weight now, and she exercises every day.
With swimming being such a great exercise for weight loss, there's absolutely no need for dieting.
Eat as much as you want.
After wiping out the krill swarm here, there were still many more on the surface of the sea. Xu Qiaoqiao quickly called Jun Qi, then spread her pectoral fins and soon surfaced. There were still many krill jumping around on both pectoral fins.
"Mmm." Junjun, eat quickly, eat quickly, this is what I caught for you.
Xu Qiaoqiao flicked her tail at the other party, signaling it to eat quickly. To be honest, Xu Qiaoqiao had been watching Jun Qi eat seaweed for a while and wondered if he didn't like meat. Surely he wasn't a vegetarian.
