Jellyfish
Chapter 58
The three foxes were greatly shocked. The Red Fox opened its mouth wide in shock. The White Fox stared at Shui Mu with its eyes wide open. Only the Black Fox was shocked, but thanks to its expressionless face, it didn't change much.
He coughed and said calmly, "And then?"
Shui Mu drove the car. He didn't drive towards Hua Ji's apartment, the company, or the hotel that the company had booked for these old monsters. Instead, he brought the three foxes to the Huangpu River.
Huangpu River, the Huangpu River again!
The water on the Huangpu River rippled slightly. Shui Mu looked at the constantly flowing waves and continued, "It's hard for you to imagine that one day, in that silent world, the sky was suddenly separated by something. A strange thing descended, and then three strange things appeared in front of you. Then, your vision turned black, and you didn't know anything."
"But fortunately, I didn't have spiritual intelligence at that time. I didn't have consciousness at all. I just instinctively left behind the influence of that time and recorded their conversation. Then … then they left, leaving only a box."
Black Fox thought for a while. "What's the point?"
"After I activated my intelligence and learned a lot of things, I recalled that memory and roughly understood the meaning of their actions."
Shui Mu said, "They were people from another planet. They were very excited when they discovered the existence of the Blue Star during an interplanetary exploration. At that time, the Blue Star was just born a few hundred thousand years ago. The world was still barren, and there was nothing."
"They said that they seemed to have discovered an unknown planet where they could obtain a lot of good things. Therefore, they explored the original Blue Star."
"At that time, the Blue Star was covered by a purple sea. The sky was gray, the ground was filled with magma, the air contained deadly poisonous gas, and the light contained a terrifying high temperature …"
"And in this silent world, life was suddenly born. It was the blue algae."
"The next species to be born was Jellyfish."
"As a creature that was born at the beginning of the Blue Star, the aliens studied the blue algae and Jellyfish in the sea. Soon, the blue algae had the ability to exhale carbon dioxide. And … after countless Jellyfish died, I was born. They took out a very precious medicine. Thanks to that medicine, I seemed to have become different from other Jellyfish."
"But when they made a biological deduction, they discovered that it would take at least a few billion years for me to become an existence that could be communicated with."
Shui Mu shrugged. "The time for evolution is too long. In other words, the Blue Star would have to develop for at least a few billion years to produce a creature with basic spiritual intelligence."
The three foxes listened attentively. White Fox thought for a while and said, "So those aliens despised Earth, which is the Blue Star you mentioned, and then they left?"
"Yes, they left. No other aliens came to the Blue Star, and I slowly grew up. The Blue Star underwent huge changes. I quietly watched these changes. Sometimes, I even went ashore to feel the changes in the world before falling asleep …"
"Then, I discovered something."
He turned around and looked deeply at the three foxes.
"That alien was right. The Blue Star would grow for tens of billions of years, develop for millions of years, and finally be destroyed in just three thousand years."
The three foxes were really shocked this time. Even the Black Fox was dumbfounded.
"They said that this kind of planet was not worth the trouble. This was the real reason why they left."
The Black Fox was silent for a long time, then repeated, "The main point?"
After the Red Fox recovered from the shock, she slowly smiled.
"So what? This is our home after all. It's hard to leave our homeland. Besides, we still need to confirm whether what you said is true or false!"
After saying this, he subconsciously looked at the White Fox, only to see that the White Fox's eyes were absent-minded. It seemed to be divining something. After a while, it spat out blood and fell down!
The Red Fox was shocked.
The Black Fox rolled his eyes at the Red Fox. Idiot!
He just watched Little White fall into the Huangpu River!
He did not catch it!
He raised his hand and scooped up the White Fox. He said calmly, "We understand what you said. We need to go back and think about it."
At this moment, the Black Fox did not want to think about why, what was his purpose, what to do, how to face … and so on.
The Black Fox wanted to confirm one thing first.
Was this true or false?
If it was true, then they would talk about the future. If it was false, then they would just treat it as if they had been blown silly by the wind on the Huangpu River.
Shui Mu looked at the three foxes with a deep gaze as they disappeared. His expression was frozen.
He turned his head to look at the vast Huangpu River. After a while, he muttered, "… Purpose. If I could still look at it calmly in the past, I'm afraid I can't do it now."
"If the Blue Star is gone, what will happen to the Little Fox?"
When Hua Ji returned to the company with a car full of foxes, he realized that the Grandpa Foxes and Shui Mu were nowhere to be found.
He was not worried. He simply said to the foxes, "The documentary will be released tomorrow. Why don't we go and have a meal first?"
"Okay!" The little Black Fox slurped its saliva. "I heard that the drumsticks in the human world are especially delicious!"
"Yes!
Eat drumsticks, eat drumsticks! "
Hua Ji was speechless. How could he dare to bring this group of Little Fox to a restaurant opened by ordinary people?
They would definitely make the boss cry!
He said firmly, "Let's go. I'll bring you to the restaurant opened by Old Pig. You will definitely be full."
Hua Ji drove the car and led them through the alleys for a long time before stopping in front of a small path behind an abandoned creative park. In front of them was a metal door, which looked like a broken metal door in an abandoned factory. They pushed it open and walked in. They bypassed some waste materials and abandoned tools and came to the front of a factory. Brother Fox's nose twitched and he immediately beamed with joy.
"Aiya!
Is this the restaurant with the best pig's head in S City that was mentioned on the forum? "
Hua Ji nodded. "Yes, it's a restaurant opened by an 80-year-old pig demon. The taste is great and the portions are sufficient. Of course, the price is also better."
"A little pig demon dares to charge a high price?" Brother Fox raised his eyebrows. "Who does he rely on to open the restaurant?"
Hua Ji shrugged. "Of course he relies on Boss Wu. But now that Boss Wu has left, the inhuman strength in S City is currently in a vacuum."
Xiang Jiuniang snorted. She said with a faint smile, "Vacuum?
It's indeed a vacuum. This description is really apt. "
She thought of the transparent film that covered the sky in the afternoon. With that old man guarding S City, who would dare to look for trouble?
Hua Ji paused in his steps. Oh right, Boss Wu has left. Then the other channels and forces under his control are also in the hands of the Shui Mu?
But he didn't hear Shui Mu mention it.
Without waiting for Hua Ji to think too much, the foxes rushed into the restaurant. There were big round tables in the restaurant. The tables were so big that the foxes could even shrink and lie on them. It was obvious that this was a place specially for demons to eat.
"Welcome!"
A waiter welcomed them with a smile. "Hello, what would you like to eat?"
Hua Ji said, "We are foxes."
The waiter understood. "I see. I understand now." He shouted, "Boss, give us a Fox Feast!"
The so-called Fox Feast was a complete collection of birds. After eating all kinds of birds, there was also a variety of fresh fish soup to aid digestion. After drinking the fish soup, they would eat some exotic fresh fruits. Finally, there was a fur washing service. They could wash their smooth, thick, and soft fur. After washing, they could run to the rooftop and take a beach bath. They could lie on the fine white sand and take a nap …
Aiya, these days are so beautiful!!
When Shui Mu came over, he saw five foxes of different sizes rolling around on the rooftop full of sand. Three Red Foxes, one Black Fox, and one White Fox.
His gaze swept across the five foxes. The first thing he saw was a Red Fox lying in the middle of the beach, lazily licking its claws.
When he looked over, the Red Fox was also looking at him.
The Red Fox slowly stood up and shook the fur on his body. Although his fur was still fiery red, the tip of his fur had a tinge of deep purple. His golden pupils flickered with blue flames, and his originally black claws also had a tinge of gray.
Shui Mu's expression softened in an instant.
The three tails behind the big Red Fox wagged. It lightly jumped into Shui Mu's arms. Shui Mu skillfully hugged it. His hand just happened to grab the root of the big Red Fox's tail.
The big Red Fox's movements paused. It angrily bit Shui Mu. It turned out that Shui Mu's hand was rubbing the root of its tail. It was obvious what he wanted to do.
"Don't mess around."
"I'm not messing around."
"What did you say to my three grandfathers?"
"I said some interesting things." Shui Mu said, "And from now on, they are also my grandfathers."
"So you left my three grandfathers and came here by yourself?"
"Yes, I suddenly missed you, so I came."
Shui Mu hugged the fox and pressed his face tightly against Hua Ji's forehead. He sniffed the familiar scent. His heart gradually calmed down.
He suddenly said, "If one day I want to leave, what will you do?"
"I'll follow you." Hua Ji felt that something was wrong with Shui Mu. He subconsciously comforted him, "Unless you let go first."
Shui Mu said again, "But I might go to a place very, very far away. If you follow me, you might not be able to see your friends and family again. You …"
Hua Ji laughed. "So what?
Every cultivator who steps on this path has already realized it. Not to mention the separation in space, just the time … A hundred years is a blink of an eye. The sea turns into mulberry fields, the clouds pass by, and everything returns to dust … That's why there's the Love Tribulation. "
Hua Ji stretched out his black claws and poked Shui Mu's face.
"Compared to me, your lifespan should be longer than mine. So I think the one who should be worried is you."
Shui Mu was silent for a long time. Then he laughed softly.
"Yes, the one who should be worried … is me."
