System, hurry up! Hand it over to the supermarket and hug the country's thigh

As the saying goes, when there is no danger around you, your companions are the greatest danger.

The "Black and White Skin"—the little whale with a new skin—that Lu Xi had scolded so badly that it couldn't lift its head, was now drooping its tail and tucking its fins in, looking timid and almost curling itself into a ball.

It guiltily exhaled a string of tiny bubbles and weakly defended itself, "I...I was just too curious."

The fin tips touched each other shyly. "I've never seen such a beautiful older sister with a tail before. I'm a little excited, and I just wanted to... nuzzle her to say hello..."

Who knew my sister was so "frail"? She flipped over in the water with the slightest touch.

The little whale quietly swallowed the last sentence back down its throat; after all, it was just naive, not stupid.

"I'm sorry—" it looked over with its most sincere, wet eyes, "Next time I'll definitely wait for my sister's permission before getting close."

Based on its past experience of barging around and disturbing the sleeping whales in the pod, the more sincere its apology and the more pitiful its tail wagging, the faster it can be forgiven.

"Hmph..." Lu Xi looked at its pitiful appearance, with its tail drooping on the sand, and all the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.

She reached out and poked the little whale's cool, smooth forehead. "Don't do it again."

The system appeared at the opportune moment, acting as a peacemaker: "Alright, alright, let's punish our little whale to be your dedicated tour guide for today. You two go on an adventure together!"

Upon hearing this, the little whale immediately perked up, its dorsal fin straightened with a "whoosh," and it happily circled around Lu Xi, demonstrating with its actions that it "guarantees to complete the mission!"

"Sister, hurry up, hurry up!"

Lu Xi, who had already been dragged dozens of meters away: Hey, you said you'd wait for my consent, didn't you? Why are you still so impulsive?

The system watched the figure disappear into two black dots and floated back with satisfaction.

These two troublesome ones, let's go play together.

The little whale slowed down at the calls, gently swaying its tail fin to signal Lu Xi to follow.

Its swimming posture is no different from that of a real killer whale. Its streamlined body cuts through the water, hardly stirring up any extra waves, leaving only a calm water trail that gradually spreads behind it.

Lu Xi swayed her cobalt blue fishtail, trying to keep up with its rhythm.

The unfamiliar sea and temperature made her movements a little awkward at first, but soon, guided by the black and white figure, her movements became smoother.

They first swept across a vast sandy plain, the sand appearing a delicate grayish-white tone under the dim light, scattered with the remains of seashells whose edges had been worn away by the sea, and occasionally flat starfish lying quietly like faded badges.

A few large hermit crabs, carrying their shells, hurriedly crossed the river.

Then, the little whale turned and slid into a huge coral jungle with her.

The corals here are not vibrant in color, but rather resemble watercolors diluted by time.

Staghorn coral has a grayish-white bone color, covered with a thin, almost transparent pale green algae.

The giant brain coral is a dull grayish-brown color with a surface full of grooves, like the surface of an ancient planet.

Only by looking closely can one catch a glimpse of a fleeting, extremely pale pink or yellow hue on the fleshy part of the coral polyp as it contracts.

The fish are mostly silvery-gray or dark brown, moving silently through the gray forest of coral skeletons, like patches of swimming shadows.

The little whale navigated the spacious passageway with practiced ease, occasionally deliberately touching a sensitive sea anemone with the tip of its fin, watching it swiftly retract its tentacles.
