There will always be a big gap between reality and ideals.
Li Qingyu looked at the thing in his hand and sighed.
Because the Angel Fruit in Li Qingyu's hands had already evolved, but it wasn't the second baby Li Qingyu had imagined; it was actually a fathead fish.
With its white body, round head, big eyes, and short tail, the fathead fish exudes a calming aura.
At this moment, the fish was wriggling in Li Qingyu's palm. And let me tell you, judging by its appearance alone, it should be very appealing to girls.
It's alright, at least it's alive.
Seeing the curious look in the eyes of the fathead fish in his hand, Li Qingyu first checked the fish's system information.
【Sacred Void Kun】
[Rank: S]
The Sacred Void Kun is a fruit from the Sacred Void Tree, a spiritual root of heaven and earth. It blossoms once every two thousand years, bears fruit once every two thousand years, and takes another two thousand years to mature.
[The Sacred Void Kun cannot touch the earth; doing so would cause it to instantly transform into a seed of the Sacred Void Tree, an irreversible process.]
[Edible: Consuming this product will purify the body of all impurities and negative states, restoring the body to its original, unblemished state.]
[Skill: Natural Will, Natural Caress.]
Tsk tsk tsk...
Aside from its appearance as a fathead fish, this thing isn't that different from the evolved version of Chi-Chi.
But the key question is... why the hell are you a fish?
Just because I'm always a lazy bum, Crimson, you evolved a fish for me, right?
Are you trying to embarrass me?
[Crimson: Heh... Please don't blame me. I'd rather just give you a salted fish.]
"La la la..."
Suddenly, the Sacred Void Kun in Li Qingyu's hand emitted a childish cry, like a child singing.
It seemed to be wondering why Li Qingyu didn't put it in the water, since it was clearly a fish, and instead kept holding it in his hands.
"Wait a minute." Having understood what the Holy Void Kun meant, Li Qingyu used the Beast Emperor's Heart's telepathic communication to speak to the Holy Void Kun in his hand. "Let's wait until we've seen the skills first."
You should know that the waters of Neptune Star are not easy to navigate; if you don't have some skills, going into the water is tantamount to suicide.
Li Qingyu naturally wouldn't just put the fish back into the water like that.
"La la la..."
Hearing the fathead fish's response, Li Qingyu continued to examine its two skills.
[Natural Will: The Holy Light of the Holy Void Kun refreshes its own status every second, making it immune to any negative status effects, and the Holy Light overflowing from its body will dispel negative status effects in the surrounding area.]
[Natural Caress: Targets kissed by the Holy Void Kun will be immune to all control skills for ten seconds and gain 30% damage reduction. Use interval: 24 hours.]
Okay, you can go now.
Seeing the Holy Void Kun's skills, Li Qingyu felt relieved.
At least it seems to be able to purify seawater, and its evolution hasn't gone too awry. Otherwise, Li Qingyu would have to find another Angel Fruit to complete the task issued by the competition system.
The Holy Void Kun, which Li Qingyu threw directly into the sea, gurgled in the water and swam around the Black Flame Horse under Hua Mulan's mount.
Li Qingyu could clearly feel that the sense of unease he had felt while submerged in the sea was gradually dissipating as the Holy Void Kun swam.
A sense of natural harmony and tranquility emerged from the seawater beneath the feet of the Black Flame Horse.
This is... purification?
Looking at the Sacred Void Kun swimming and tumbling beneath him, Li Qingyu casually opened the task panel and then looked at the Ocean Purification Ranking.
[Ocean Purification Ranking]
【1. The Magical Pet Civilization of Chu Xuan】
【2. Florus, the Giant Tree Civilization】
【3. Li Qingyu, the Pet Civilization】
...
Well, it's alright.
It seems the system acknowledges the use of the Sacred Void Kun to purify the ocean.
But... when the hell did the fairies of this giant tree civilization go up there?
The witches and demons didn't go up, but you fairies did?
The key point is... Li Qingyu found the name of this fairy quite familiar, because in the previous competition, this fairy's name had been on the leaderboard the whole time and had never gone down.
It seems... as long as Colonel Chu gets first place, this fairy will automatically be on the list.
This looks like there's a big problem.
Moreover, the fairy race did not appear in the previous competition, but they had the most survivors.
To this day, Li Qingyu still doesn't know whether the demon race belongs to the category of those who wear clothes or those who don't.
"Which way should we go next, adjutant? What do you think?"
Just as Li Qingyu was daydreaming about fairies, Hua Mulan, who was standing in front of him, grew impatient and asked Li Qingyu from behind.
Interrupted from his reverie, Li Qingyu looked around. Apart from the groundhog army, there was only a vast expanse of sea. Li Qingyu then looked at the eerie moonlight in the sky.
Grandpa, can you help me find the nearest island in which direction? It's the kind where I can sleep with Mulan.
[Crimson: Below.]
under?
Want to sleep underwater?
Hmm... it's not impossible.
Li Qingyu suddenly realized that his pineapple house was originally evolved from a deep-sea pineapple, so it wouldn't be a problem to use it underwater anyway.
[Crimson: I didn't mean for you to sleep at the bottom of the sea. There's another island down there. The reason I brought you here in the first place was because there are two islands here.]
There's another island?!
Islands in the sea...
Doesn't that mean it still needs to be soaked in water? What's the difference?
[Crimson: You'll see when you go down; you don't need to soak in water.]
[Below is not only an island, but also a city, likely an area once inhabited by the native inhabitants of Neptune, and there are quite a few wild monsters there.]
Tsk tsk...
The native inhabitants of Neptune are quite amazing. Even on Earth today, Li Qingyu has never heard of any cities in the sea.
It seems that Neptune's technology was quite advanced in the past, so why does it look so deserted now?
"General, let's go to sea."
Having received the news from Crimson, Li Qingyu, looking confident and composed, spoke to Mulan in front of him.
"Go to sea? Why would we go to sea now? Is there some treasure chest down there?"
Upon hearing about going into the sea, Mulan immediately thought of the treasure chest she had just obtained underwater.
Could it be...?
Seeing Mulan turn her head and look at him with starry eyes, Li Qingyu ruthlessly interrupted Mulan's fantasy.
"No."
"Why go to sea if there's no treasure chest?"
Upon hearing that there was no treasure chest, the light in Mulan's eyes dimmed instantly.
“But there are wild monsters,” Li Qingyu added.
"Okay, grinding some monsters is fine too."
Hua Mulan pursed her lips, then shouted loudly, "All troops, attack!"
In an instant, the groundhog army, seemingly tireless, charged towards the seabed once again.
