The merman spirit pets huddled together in the water tank, while the bird spirit pets stood fiercely on the tree branches, and the snake spirit pets straightened their upper bodies, revealing their sharp fangs.
Qiao You slowly approached them, sitting down about a meter away from the spirit pets.
With its legs outstretched, under the watchful eyes of numerous spirit pets, the legs transformed from human legs into a silver-blue fish tail.
All the spirit pets were shocked. The two-legged beast in front of them was actually one of their own kind?
Qiao You smiled and wagged her tail. "Hello everyone."
"Everyone, please sit down. I'm going to sing you a song."
The spirit pets in the interstellar world are generally friendly and lively, but these experiences must have caused them to build high walls around their hearts.
After realizing that Qiao You was one of their own kind, the spirit pets were not as wary as they had been at the beginning.
The bird spirit pets lowered their wings, the snake spirit pets retracted their fangs, and the merman spirit pets almost all clung to the tank walls, all staring longingly at Qiao You.
A unique chant belonging to the merfolk echoed in the room.
The song was filled with the vastness and inclusiveness of the sea, as if all the creatures here were in the seabed, and you could even smell the damp saltiness of the sea.
Standing at the door, Helian Jue couldn't help but relax all his muscles, emptying his mind as if he had entered another world.
Lin Zhong, who was rushing down from upstairs, also slowed down his pace. The singing seemed to be able to wash away some of the darkness and gloom.
Previously, he had only heard His Highness's spirit pet sing in StarNet live streams; this was the first time he had heard it in person, and it truly lived up to its reputation.
Five minutes later, Qiao You's unique deep-sea chant came to an end.
The little mermaid in the tank clung tightly to the tank wall, wanting to get closer, even closer.
A bold bird spirit pet was strode arrogantly toward Qiao You, its expression very kind and even a little obsequious.
"Are you a merman too?" A golden-and-white bird spirit pet stood beside Qiao You's tail and asked.
The mermaids in the tank all pricked up their ears; they too wanted to know the answer to this question.
Qiao You extended a finger and gently touched the bird's head. "Yes, my name is Qiao You. What's your name?"
“My name is Jinbai!” replied the bird spirit with golden and white feathers.
The merman closest to Qiao You popped his head out and said, "But you're different from us."
After saying that, the merman added, "My name is Lan Yu."
“I’m just like you guys, I have a tail too.” Qiao You shook his tail and then pointed to Lan Yu’s tail.
They are exactly the same.
Lan Yu was speechless; he couldn't put his feelings into words, but Qiao You was different from them.
Jin Bai fanned his tail and declared, "If they have tails, then they are mermaids."
Lan Yu glanced at Jin Bai and then had no further objections.
The spirit pets that were rescued by the imperial soldiers and placed here should already be familiar with the place.
Qiao You sensed that the group of spirit pets was led by Jin Bai.
"How did you get here? Were you also captured?" Jin Bai inquired about Qiao You's background.
All the spirit pets in the room focused their attention on Qiao You.
“I wasn’t captured,” Qiao You said truthfully, pointing to Helian Jue at the door. “I came with him.”
"I am his spirit pet."
Jin Bai glanced sideways at Helian Jue, who had been standing at the door. People dressed like that had all been released from the experimental dishes today.
They arranged habitats according to their respective habits, as if they were good people.
Qiao You continued, "He is the Crown Prince of the Empire."
"They are also the ones who truly saved you."
"He discovered the Alliance's conspiracy and brought the Empire's soldiers here."
Jin Bai and Lan Yu exchanged a glance, communicating something with their eyes.
After praising Helian Jue, Qiao You remained silent, waiting for Jin Bai and Lan Yu to ask him questions.
"Then what do we need to do?" Lan Yu bit her lip and asked with determination.
Yes, what do we need to do? The people here were used for experiments before. Countless people and their companions were taken away and never returned.
You saved us, what do we need to repay you with?
"Do you know about the Spirit Pet Pavilion?" Qiao You changed his posture and put his tail down. He hadn't turned into a fish for a few days and was still a little unaccustomed to it.
The small group of spirit pets looked at each other, but none of them spoke.
After a while, a slightly aged voice came from the water tank where the merman spirit pet was staying.
"I know." The merfolk all shook their tails, revealing a passage in the middle, from which an older merfolk with a deep purple fishtail swam out.
"The Pet Pavilion is a passage connecting interstellar people and us."
“We provide spiritual comfort to the interstellar people, and they take care of us.”
After entering, Qiao You saw the group of little spirit pets and guessed that most of them were the first batch of spirit pet descendants who were attracted to the Alliance by the generous policies. They probably didn't even know what a spirit pet pavilion was.
And that is indeed the case.
With the older merman with a deep purple fishtail, Qiao You's conversation went much more smoothly.
This article analyzes the current state of interstellar space and explains the differences between the Empire and the Alliance.
I have repeatedly assured you that the Empire's Pet Pavilion has absolutely nothing to do with the experiments here.
The conversation lasted for almost two hours, and the first rays of sunlight streamed in through the window.
"It's dawn," Qiao You murmured, looking at the golden sunrise outside.
