Chapter 159 The Flying Whale
Chu Wenqing was very satisfied that he had successfully quelled Lin Ji's anger. He patted Lin Ji on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Hehe~ That's why I have high hopes for you. Keep it up!"
Lin Ji was overjoyed by Chu Wenqing's words, and for the first time, he gave Chu Wenqing a warm smile, "Okay, I will."
Chu Wenqing was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand, goosebumps rising all over his body. "Don't smile at me like that, it's making me a little scared..."
He really wasn't used to Lin Ji smiling at him! It was creepy!
Lin Ji immediately stopped laughing, glared coldly at Chu Wenqing, then turned and walked to Su Luo's side, diverting her attention, "Su Luo, is there anything I can help you with?"
"N-nothing."
Su Luo felt extremely uncomfortable under Lin Ji's increasingly intense gaze and quickly shook her head.
Therefore, Su Luo did not notice that when Lin Ji came over, Song Qiao almost ran to Feng Xiyue's side and hid behind Feng Xiyue.
Feng Xiyue: ...
Why do these one or two seem a bit off?
Seeing that it was getting late and that important matters needed to be addressed, Su Luo turned around and instructed, "Since Lin Ji is here as well, let's work together and find the teleportation array as soon as possible!"
"it is good!"
The group continued their journey, but their location changed slightly.
Song Qiao was somewhat afraid of Lin Ji, so he simply walked at the front and kept the furthest distance from him; Zhu Zhu nestled in Song Qiao's arms, as quiet as a chicken, no longer struggling or asking for its owner; Feng Xiyue dragged Chu Wenqing along to chase after Song Qiao, intending to give Lin Ji and Su Luo some private space.
Therefore, Su Luo and Lin Ji were left to walk at the very back, the two of them walking silently, and no one spoke up for a while.
Su Luo was too embarrassed to speak.
Although she had made up her mind to try to accept Lin Ji's feelings when she saw him again, when she actually saw the boy and met his unwavering and focused gaze, she instinctively wanted to avoid him!
There's no way around it! She's been single for three lifetimes, never been in a relationship, and now that she's finally found someone she likes, she doesn't know how to treat him...
But after waiting for a while, Lin Ji still didn't speak. Su Luo felt a little strange, so she secretly glanced at him and found that Lin Ji was thinking about something with his head down and a faint smile on his lips.
Su Luo cleared her throat and broke the silence, asking, "Have you finished your business? After the secret realm trial, do you have other things to do?"
Lin Ji was still immersed in the surprise that Su Luo might like him, so he didn't speak for a moment. Now, hearing Su Luo's question, he hurriedly shook his head, "It's all done. After the secret realm ends, I'll go wherever you go."
Lin Ji wasn't lying. He had originally come to deal with matters of the Demon Realm, and now that the traitor had been eliminated and he had become the Demon Lord, Cang Yan would handle the Demon Realm matters anyway. These days, aside from staying by Su Luo's side, he had no interest in anything else.
The only slight regret is that he can't let Su Luo become the Demon Lord's wife! Although Su Luo said that there are good and bad demons, he doesn't dare to gamble on that possibility...
Su Luo's heart pounded at Lin Ji's blunt words, her face flushed, and she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only stammer, "Okay, okay..."
That's so blunt, it's practically a confession!
Lin Ji turned his head and stared at Su Luo's profile. When he noticed the girl's blushing cheeks, his eyes immediately burned with desire.
Su Luo blushed; it seemed Chu Wenqing was telling the truth…
Since that's the case, can he confess his feelings now? Or should he wait until they leave the secret realm, set up a romantic spot, and then tell Su Luo?
Just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, suddenly, the snow beneath their feet began to shake, startling everyone and nearly causing them to fall.
"careful!"
Lin Ji reacted quickly, grabbing Su Luo and pulling her into his arms before retreating rapidly.
Su Luo shouted loudly, "Back up!! Get out of that area!"
Chu Wenqing and the others quickly retreated, and soon the group had left that area, staring at the area they had just been in with suspicion and uncertainty.
"What's that noise?! An avalanche?"
"What avalanche starts from the ground? This looks more like the ice surface cracking open!"
Su Luo pursed her lips and remained silent, staring intently ahead, completely unaware that Lin Ji's hand was still around her and hadn't let go.
Lin Ji smiled with satisfaction before looking at the snow-covered ground, though his eyes remained completely unmoved.
What's there to be afraid of? No matter what kind of monsters come, if they dare to harm Su Luo, he will kill them all!
The shaking of the snow grew louder and louder, then revealed a cracked ice surface beneath. The crack was spreading rapidly, and snow continued to fall into the sea beneath. Then, accompanied by an ethereal whale cry, a huge creature leaped out of the crack, soaring over the group and hovering above them.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Chu Wenqing was dumbfounded. "This...this is a whale?!"
Whales live in the sea, right?! How come there's a whale in the snow?! No, that doesn't make sense! It looks like it flew up from the seawater beneath the ice!
But this whale can fly?!
At that moment, a huge white whale was flying in the sky, its body so large that it blocked out the sun, plunging the entire area into darkness.
Song Qiao rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things; he recognized it immediately!
"This is a Heavenly Profound Whale! It's an ancient demon race unique to the Profound Ice Realm!"
Su Luo responded, "It is indeed a Heavenly Profound Whale!"
Since Zhu Zhu appeared, Su Luo felt that her knowledge of monsters was too weak, so she borrowed the "Cloud Sky Realm Myriad Beasts Atlas" from Song Qiao to read. As a result, she also remembered this beautiful and huge monster!
Feng Xiyue hadn't seen the diagrams; right now, she only cared about one thing: "Will this kind of monster attack us?"
If she could, she hoped the whale wouldn't attack them! How could they fight such a big whale? It could just open its mouth and swallow them whole.
Su Luo thought about the contents of the diagram and replied, "The diagram only says that the Tianxuan Whale lives in the seawater below the glacier and likes to eat fish. Because they are relatively lazy, they basically sleep after eating. It doesn't mention whether they will attack humans, so let's observe the situation first and not provoke them."
Feng Xiyue quickly agreed, "Okay!"
Chu Wenqing listened to what Su Luo had just said, but he still had one question. So he pointed to the whale in the sky and asked, "Since this whale lives in the sea, why does it fly in the sky?"
A deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
That's a good question; they'd like to know too...
