Why are you crying?
Do you even have tears to cry with?
"Stop crying, it's a waste of energy." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Mingxi pinched its nose.
"You said you were going to find treasure?"
Mingxi looked curious, "So what did you find?"
You went looking and looking for treasure, and found a deadly big treasure, didn't you?
If Mingxi didn't have a habit of not spanking children, Black Pearl's bottom would have been red by now.
This time, it truly almost got them killed.
Although the child was unintentional, if this kind of thing happened again, her 'old bones' might not live to adulthood.
But the one who caused such a huge disaster was Black Pearl, a silly and brave Fish Baby.
The child is too silly; spanking is not allowed, and scolding is useless.
Mingxi had a headache.
"As."
Black Pearl began to 'point to the heavens and earth,' recounting its experience.
Mingxi listened with one ear while looking at Golden Yuanbao with wide eyes, and then the sounds she heard in her ears gradually faded away.
Golden Yuanbao's appearance hadn't changed much, except for a vertical eye that appeared on its forehead.
At this moment, the vertical eye was closed.
The area around the vertical eye was adorned with vermilion, variously sized and shaped gemstones—some angular, some grain-shaped, and some spiky.
The vertical eye itself was a clear, hard, chili-red color, consistent with Golden Yuanbao's original eye color, lacking the deepness of cinnabar yet a few shades brighter than bright red.
Vermilion is slightly darker, while chili red is clear and bright.
The two combined to create a peculiar color, as if merging the essence of all things in the world, and seemingly containing endless wisdom and power.
Overall, it resembled a dazzling, brilliant gemstone, emitting a mysterious and profound glow.
It was a bit exaggerated, but as a girl who was somewhat particular about looks, this vertical eye was indeed beautiful.
Moreover, likely influenced by this vertical eye, its original two eyes also subtly changed their appearance.
Small, vermilion particles now adorned the original purplish-red feathers below its eyes.
At first glance, it resembled a delicate and refined pearl makeup on a young girl, like a lotus emerging from water.
But on its face, it exuded a unique temperament—not the delicate refinement of a lotus emerging from water, but rather its noble arrogance.
Cough.
"As?"
Black Pearl finally realized that it had been gesturing and talking for so long, but its owner hadn't been listening at all. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The baby really wants to be angry.
But it's a bad baby now.
Does it still have the right to be angry with its owner?
Does its owner really not like it anymore?
Mingxi immediately sensed Black Pearl's emotions; if there was a bond, besides Golden Yuanbao, the strongest connection was actually between her and Black Pearl.
The Oath Contract made their connection even closer.
So its current low mood naturally transmitted to Mingxi.
Mingxi could only temporarily give up on continuing to observe Golden Yuanbao's three eyes and focus her attention on Black Pearl.
"Bad baby, don't be sad. I don't blame you, but if you mess around again next time... if you want to help me find treasure again, even if you can't tell me in advance, you must tell Golden, Silver, and Blue, understand?"
Even if the Fish Baby doesn't understand, it still needs to be educated.
As for whether it can listen, and how much it can absorb, that depends on how silly the Fish Baby is.
Mingxi thought for a moment and said, "You're still too young, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself. What if you encounter a bad guy like just now? If you hadn't carried defensive items with you and been bound to poseidon's rest, you would have become a dead fish this time."
Once poseidon's rest became Black Pearl's exclusive bed, it was bound to Black ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Pearl.
Although poseidon's rest is not a defensive item, a divine artifact must have its prestige, and the divine aura it forms will automatically protect its master.
"Also, there are many bad guys like that Wrathful Eye from just now.
Rare and special Fish Babies like you are uncommon. Not only will Beast Tamers be very interested in you, studying your characteristics and skills, treating you as an experimental subject, but there are also those perverted and non-perverted gourmets who like to slice and eat fish. They love lively Fish Babies like you the most."
Black Pearl's face visibly turned pale.
Its eyes widened, and it buried its head in Mingxi's arms, trembling.
Mingxi hugged it, feeling a little heartbroken.
However, 'a jade not carved cannot become a vessel,' so she hardened her heart and continued, "If you accidentally get caught by those people, they will shave off your scales, pull out all your hair, then wash you clean from the inside out, and finally slice you up and eat you."
Mingxi was not exaggerating.
Because of the existence of the Descent organization, coupled with the incident in the Mystic Mirage Sea, Black Pearl really might encounter a cruel fate.
So, something like what happened today must never happen again.
Black Pearl trembled like a vibrating toy, repeatedly whimpering, 'Don't eat baby, baby isn't tasty, baby will never run around again,' and similar phrases.
Wasn't the educational effect clear now?
Mingxi showed an evil smile, while her small hand gently stroked its hair, comforting it, "So, if you want to do anything in the future, you must let me or Gold, Silver, and Blue accompany you, understand?"
The Fish Baby nodded pitifully.
"Alright, once we leave the Time Realm, how about we let Little Silver Flower accompany you to that location you mentioned?"
Although her attention had been drawn to Golden Yuanbao's three eyes just now, she hadn't completely ignored Black Pearl's words.
She was still somewhat interested in the large, sparkling area it described.
Black Pearl's attention was immediately diverted upon hearing this.
It looked up, excitedly wagging its tail, its moist black eyes full of anticipation.
After settling Black Pearl, Mingxi looked at Little Silver Flower and Lan Yue.
"Are you two alright?"
These two had it the hardest today.
Two General-level Pet Beasts who had just evolved not long ago fought against a Royal-level Transcendent creature that had existed for an unknown number of years, and it was a powerful Transcendent creature like Wrathful Eye, which seemed unkillable.
Although they ultimately failed to defeat the opponent, they truly relied on their own strength to push Wrathful Eye to its limits.
Such an impressive battle record, if told to others, they would definitely think Mingxi was telling a fantasy.
"Ling."
I'm fine.
Little Silver Flower hesitated for a moment, pointing to its abdomen.
"Luo."
Mingxi looked over and saw that the area that should have been bloody and bruised was now shimmering with silver light.
A perfectly intact Reverse Scale covered it, exuding majestic and powerful energy!
Mingxi was stunned for a long while.
"How did the Reverse Scale recover so quickly?"
Although Little Silver Flower's Reverse Scale was already a Heavenly-Rank skill, its recovery time definitely hadn't shortened to such an absurd extent as an hour.
"Luo Luo."
Little Silver Flower indicated that it didn't understand either. Just now, when it was sent back to the Pet Space by its Beast Tamers and realized that its Beast Tamers were preparing to face the Wrathful Eye alone, it felt anxious and sad.
At that time, it only remembered that its body hurt so much it wanted to faint; it had never felt such pain!
