Chapter 205: 205: Sentient Basking Shark

The sentient basking shark was quite smart and knew that only by leaving the North Pole with these humans would he survive. He allowed the only male among the humans to take away what he had accidentally eaten. Once the weird thing in his stomach was removed, he felt extremely lethargic until the two female humans fed him pills that tasted like candies.

Well, as a shark, he isn't supposed to know the taste of a candy, but after he gained intelligence, a lot of knowledge had been bestowed on him by the world. That's how all sentient beings acted like humans. As for the reason why he is willing to leave with the humans without thinking that they are scheming against him, it is simple.

The eyes of this beautiful lady, whose eyes were like the moon itself, were pure of kindness. It didn't know why this human helped him, but he instinctively knew that she could be trusted and choose to accept her conditions and go with her and the other two humans with her, though that male one smells danger. As long as he sticks to this beauty lady, he knows that it won't kill him.

Thanks to the longevity pills given by Yue Xuexia and Tan Bingyu, the lethargic basking shark gains his strength. As for the Space Meteorite Ore that was taken out by Taiyang, he gave it to Yue Xuexia and allowed her to keep it in her inventory.

Taiyang said, "Hide this treasure. We should leave the north pole, now that we want what we want. Let's ride this shark on our way to the south pole. The Ice Ore Stones you got are barely enough to make a weapon. If you want to make armor for Tan Bingyu and your family, you need at least a hundred of it."

"Mistress, I've counted it. There are 30 pieces of ice ore stones in that ice wall. There is no more in this area," said Tan Bingyu.

The Basking Shark learned that they are looking for that shining stone he threw up after mistaking it for fish eggs.

{Are you talking about these shining stones? These things aren't delicious but I know there are a lot of them!}

"Really!? Where have you seen it?" asked Tan Bingyu.

The three humans looked at it. Having three pairs of eyes fall on him all at the same time made the timid basking shark tremble.

{(TT v TT) Your eyes are scary~ Boohoo~}

Yue Xuexia gently patted the head of the timid shark and said, "Okay. We're sorry for scaring you. Can you bring us to the place where these shining stones can be found?"

{Sniff! I can bring you there, but... That place is dangerous. I've also eaten that big rock in that place.}

Taiyang looked even more interested knowing that the place they are about to go is where the space meteorite ore was found. Thinking that maybe there are other treasures in that place, Taiyang wanted to ask this big fish to immediately bring them there, but Yue Xuexia gave him a glare when he was about to grab it.

Ahem!

"So, where is it? The place where the treasure... where you found those shining stones are?" asked Taiyang.

{Can I not go? That place is the lair of the Sperm Whale that wanted to eat me!}

The silly basking shark cried, thinking that he had to sneak into that dangerous place. If not because he was too hungry and got lost in that place, the big guy wouldn't have gone chasing him at all. Thinking how he had swam at full speed and got stuck in the ice wall had saved his life.

Taiyang said, "Stupid fish, you have two choices. One, come bring us to that place and I will protect you. Second, you point the way to the place and stay here. But if that whale you are talking about found you here, you can only get eaten. What is your choice?"

{Wuwu~ I don't want to get eaten! I will go with you and show you the way!}

Yue Xuexia held her head and said, "Stop teasing the little one. You've scared him enough to cry like a baby."

"Don't cry anymore. As long as the mistress says not to leave you, even that bad man wouldn't dare," said Tan Bingyu to the crying shark.

Taiyang snorted, "You guys are spoiling it. That fish is older than you. It's a 50-year-old fish!"

"I'm not! Stop screaming like a laying hen," said Yue Xuexia and turned around to look at the shark and said, "Can you bring us there? In exchange, I promise we will bring them to the south pole safely."

{Okay. I believe you, Moon Goddess!}

Yue Xuexia and Taiyang, as well as the hidden Shen Jueyang, were startled by what the basking shark had just said.

"Little one, I am a human, not a goddess," said Yue Xuexia with a smile.

Tan Bingyu commented, "Maybe the mistress' beauty can match the Moon Goddess and he called you as one."

{That's right! Your silver eyes are gorgeous, like the moon I always see at night! That's why I called you a moon goddess.}

Yue Xuexia felt happy about this complement and laughed while happily patting the basking shark.

"Okay. Thank you for the compliment, little one."

What she didn't know was that two men turned mute, as they didn't expect to hear others calling Yue Xuexia as a Moon Goddess. They wouldn't have noticed at all if not for this silly big fish mentioning that Yue Xuexia's iris are turning silver. Taiyang couldn't help but stare at Yue Xuexia's eyes as well as the small crescent moon shaped at the corner of her left eye.

The lady asked, "What's wrong, Yangyang?"

"Nothing. I was just checking. It seems that your eye color has indeed changed. How will you explain it to your parents?" asked Taiyang.

Yue Xuexia said, "Wearing contact lenses?"

"That's plausible," said Tan Bingyu.

In the end, the conversation about looking like the Moon Goddess and such ended just like that. The three of them ride on the back of the huge basking shark, who brought them deeper into the ocean of the North Pole. The deeper they got into the ocean, the darker it became.

Normally, they would be attacked by other sea monsters on the way, but thanks to the aura Taiyang is emitting, they were being treated as a dangerous monster that even an ordinary fish wouldn't dare to approach. With them approaching the depths of the ocean, the waters were devoid of all movements, and it was like a dead sea.

Yue Xuexia looked at the empty, dark blue sea with dull eyes and then glared at Taiyang. "I thought I could enjoy watching fish. Where is my underwater scenery? The various colored fish. My marine life scenery. There is nothing. Nothing at all!"

"How about... we just pretend to be in some kind of underwater horror?" Tan Bingyu suggested.

Yue Xuexia shivered when she thought of the possible horror under the sea. Like ugly big fish that one never wants to see in real life. Or that famous light trap of an angler fish with sharp rows of teeth. Even that tragedy of being surrounded by hungry sharks. She shivered in fear, just thinking of all possible death routes in the sea.

As if reading her mind, Taiyang said, "Stop scaring yourself. Even if those situations happened, we can just kill them all. I intentionally release my aura to scare anything, including the Sperm Whale this little guy is talking about. It would be quite a problem to fight underwater, especially for me."

"Ah! That's right, you use fire to fight. Um~ how about using a weapon? What's your main weapon, Yangyang?" asked Yue Xuexia with curiosity in her silver eyes.

Those pair of eyes look so similar to the one in his memories, even though he wasn't close to the Moon Goddess like Shen Jueyang; he had met her a lot of times before. His hand trembles for a moment before responding to her.

"A sword. My main weapon is a sword," answered Taiyang.

Yue Xuexia said, "A sword? How about using that to fight? But a sword ha~ You seem to be the type to fight with your fist though."

Taiyang was stunned, but only for a moment, but Tan Bingyu noticed his split change of expression, and it seems that her mistress's guess was correct. Taiyang is different from Shen Jueyang.

Unlike the main body, who likes using swords, he likes using his fist instead, but no one, not even one, ever since he became Shen Jueyang's clone noticed that he didn't like the sword except for Yue Xuexia at this moment.

His breathing hitched only for a moment and he finally asked, "How... How did you know I don't like using swords?" asked Taiyang.

Yue Xuexia smiled and said, "It's simple. You don't even know how to use a knife, much less like using a sword. Moreover, what's the use of using something you don't like? You might just hurt yourself."

"Indeed. You are right. There is no need to do things you don't like. That is just tiring," said Taiyang as he laughs and suddenly hugs Yue Xuexia. "Thank you, Xue'er."

Yue Xuexia was left dumbfounded for a moment, as she didn't understand the effect of her words to Taiyang at that moment. She accepted his gratitude without knowing the reason why and patted his back.

"Well, let's go check what we came for and leave for the south to continue my mission," said Yue Xuexia.

Taiyang smiled and said, "It's okay. Just leave it to me."

{We are here!} said the sentient basking shark.
