Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao flee at top speed, the group of beluga whales followed without exception.
Jun Qi glanced back and saw a dozen beluga whales following behind them, chattering amongst themselves as they went.
Why is this blue whale swimming so fast?
Is there delicious food ahead?
They are naturally lively and bold, and they don't know the meaning of the word "shy" at all. Perhaps there are a few who are shy, but considering their large numbers, it's practically the case that none of them are.
Xu Qiaoqiao could naturally hear the commotion behind her. Why were they being so familiar with her, saying they absolutely had to get to know each other, just to show off?
Xu Qiaoqiao felt ashamed; what was there to brag about?
That's right. After hearing the voices of the beluga whales before, Xu Qiaoqiao still heard their undisguised conversations later on, even without meeting them in person. Gradually, she was able to understand most of it, but she couldn't speak it.
Whales communicate differently from humans. They use sound waves, which travel four times faster underwater than on land. They have turned the ocean itself into a complex and sophisticated communication system.
This sound can travel very far, so it's not surprising that Xu Qiaoqiao could hear it.
However, each type of whale has a slightly different language.
Xu Qiaoqiao's ability to learn was purely by chance. She didn't know much about whales, and much of what she learned was only after she became a blue whale herself, which was a completely new field for her.
The atmosphere among the beluga whale pods was quite harmonious. They swam leisurely and performed continuously, as if migration were just a short trip.
They followed closely behind Xu Qiaoqiao and the others. Even in this situation, several of them were still playing and frolicking, as if they were performing acrobatics.
In the end, Xu Qiaoqiao was the first to compromise. She had originally planned to wander around leisurely, but she ended up being so busy, which was not the original plan at all, and it looked terrible.
When Xu Qiaoqiao stopped, the beluga whales stopped following her. They greeted her, and some of them even did acrobatics.
Three beluga whales, head to tail, formed a giant circle, and then several more beluga whales passed through it, though the movements still appeared to be jumping.
Xu Qiaoqiao: ...
Jun Qi: ? ? ?
This...this...
Then the lead beluga whale swam towards Xu Qiaoqiao and made a sound, like a child crying. It was unclear whether it made that sound on purpose, since the beluga whales often liked to tease people.
"Hello, I am Dick, the strange whale and the human who looks like a fish. I am the grandfather of these little ones."
Xu Qiaoqiao understood what they were saying. Although the beluga whale was speaking politely, the sound was that of a child crying. Who could stand such a change in tone?
“A few days ago, I heard from Rob and the others that a blue whale had come, and the blue whale was accompanied by a human with a fish tail. I wanted to get to know them then, but I never had the chance to meet them.”
As she spoke, the crying grew increasingly shrill.
Xu Qiaoqiao was terrified by the high pitch of the cry; her heart was trembling. Moreover, the crying had a particularly scary atmosphere, like something out of a horror movie. Xu Qiaoqiao admitted that she was frightened.
As a result, the pectoral fins that were wrapped around Jun Qi's arm tightened considerably.
She laughed awkwardly twice, then answered with a few words.
After saying that, the other person waited for Xu Qiaoqiao to finish speaking before saying another sentence, and then introduced his whales one by one to Xu Qiaoqiao. Every time he introduced one, the other person would do a somersault in front of Xu Qiaoqiao.
Xu Qiaoqiao: It seems that these beluga whales are all acrobats.
After the introductions, Xu Qiaoqiao also called out a few words, just like the other whale, in an introductory manner. Fortunately, this beluga whale named Dick understood the language of blue whales and smiled kindly.
Beluga whales aren't ugly at all. They're all white, chubby, and have a cute and cuddly appearance. They're not exactly beauties among marine creatures, but they are definitely adorable.
Their appearance naturally suggests a smiling face, and with their kind demeanor, they resemble chubby little old men with white beards and rosy cheeks from comic books.
After Dick finished speaking, he politely withdrew, and even winked at Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi respectively, looking quite mischievous, even though he had seemed very polite just now.
The beluga whale pod didn't linger either, following Dick away one by one, as if their desperate chase was just to get to know Xu Qiaoqiao and introduce their pod.
And, to perform, no, to show off their acrobatics in front of her.
Xu Qiaoqiao was stunned as she watched the beluga whales retreat in just a few seconds. If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn't have run away.
"Eek." Junjun.
Jun Qi touched Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes, sensing the complexity in her heart. Actually, he felt the same way. After all, the beluga whale pod they had seen last time was just too enthusiastic, with several baby beluga whales touching Jun Qi's tail with their snouts.
However, they harbored no ill will. If Jun Qi hadn't met Xu Qiaoqiao, he wouldn't care about any malicious intent; he would have simply kicked away anyone who blocked his way.
Things are different now; they've become more humane.
Xu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that not all beluga whale pods were the same, which made things much better.
However, she didn't expect that there was something about giving herself a name inside the white whale. Last time, when the one named Galen introduced himself, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't understand at all; it was Junjun who translated for her.
Now, I guess you could say I've made some friends.
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered that whale sound waves could travel very far, and a small guess came to her mind, making her a little excited.
Jun Qi sensed Xu Qiaoqiao's excitement and shared her joy. However, when he heard her inner thoughts, he felt slightly uncomfortable, sensing that after what had just happened, Qiaoqiao was paying more and more attention to the group of large white fish.
This won't do.
Adjoining this sea area is a shallow area of water, which is actually not shallow, but appears shallow from the perspective of the open ocean.
Of course, because the water is very transparent, it looks very shallow. When Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were swimming in it, they felt that they could see everything clearly.
"What's next?"
Xu Qiaoqiao flipped over in the seawater, belly up, and curled her tail, then slapped the water, looking particularly content.
Jun Qi lay on the spot where Xu Qiaoqiao's pectoral fins met her body. Hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's question, he lazily said, "How about we go take a look to the west? How about we go around in a circle and then go back?"
Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up: "Yay!"
