God's Gift

"Oh..." Yu Youyou's voice trailed off as she looked longingly at the ring on Lu Keming's finger, ultimately giving up the idea of ​​asking for it:

"OK then."

However, Xiaoyu quickly forgot about it.

She turned to look at the chain gently swaying on the fish fin, then looked with great pleasure at the chaotic pile of glass bottles on the ground.

After carefully selecting for a long time, the little fish finally picked up the most crystal-clear one and solemnly handed it to Lu Keming, saying generously:

"for you!"

Lu Keming looked down at the return gift in his hand, then glanced at the glass bottles covering the cabin floor, and belatedly realized that the countless glass bottles in the cabin were probably all Xiaoyu's "property".

He confirmed with her, "Youyou, are all these glass bottles yours?"

"Of course." Looking at the glass bottles scattered on the ground, the little fish proudly raised its head. "I picked them all up."

Her tail wagged incessantly, and her voice grew increasingly proud:

"Not just them, this entire ship belongs to me. I am the captain here!"

"Captain?" Lu Keming's voice was full of surprise. "You even know that word?"

"Of course, I've observed the people at sea for a long time, and that's exactly how they shout." The little fish nodded vigorously, its swaying tail fin creating a ripple in the water.

She turned and swam toward the other cabins of the sunken ship, not forgetting to say to Lu Keming:

"You come with me."

Lu Keming immediately followed, and saw Xiaoyu stop in front of one of the cabins with practiced ease, introducing herself to him:

"This is the clownfish's room."

The cabin was dimly lit, and even when Lu Keming squinted to focus his vision, he couldn't see anything inside.

"Can't you see clearly?" Xiaoyu immediately realized and said to Lu Keming, "Wait."

Lu Keming watched as Xiaoyu closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes suddenly lit up with two beams of light.

These flashlight-like eyes instantly illuminated the cabin.

Looking into the little fish's bright eyes, Lu Keming finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing his laughter, Xiaoyu's eyes immediately shone towards him. The glaring light caused Lu Keming's eyes, which had been deprived of sunlight for a long time, to ache, and he raised his hand to shield them from the light.

"Is it too bright?" Xiaoyu blinked a few times, the light in her eyes gradually dimming with each blink until it was adjusted to a level that Lu Keming could tolerate, and then she stopped blinking.

Lu Keming's lips curled up as he looked at her wondrous eyes, his expression one of astonishment. He only remembered that Youyou's original eyes glowed, but he hadn't expected that they could be controlled by herself.

It looks more like a flashlight now.

Lu Keming smiled and said to Xiaoyu, "Thank you, Youyou."

"It's nothing." Xiaoyu shook her head nonchalantly and gestured for Lu Keming to look at the room she had just introduced.

Using the light seen through Yu Youyou's eyes, Lu Keming was able to see the interior of the cabin clearly. It was filled with swaying sea anemones, white, pink, red... They were combined together, like a small underwater garden.

There are many clownfish on those anemones, and each clownfish has its own anemone. They are either lying on the anemones playing or diligently tending to the anemones' tentacles.

"These sea anemones are their home."

The little fish continued to lead the way, and when they arrived at another cabin, she stopped and said to Lu Keming, "This is the room for the red snapper."

Looking into the cabin, Lu Keming saw many rocks piled up, covered with dense seaweed. Above the seaweed, a small yellow fish was chasing away clownfish.

"This patch of seaweed was all grown by it." The little fish swam into the cabin and took the clownfish that had taken over the red damselfish compartment into its mouth.

She swam back to the clownfish's own room and spat the clownfish back into its mouth.

"It was originally outside the shipwreck, but then sea urchins came there and ate all its seaweed, so it moved here."

The red snapper, now at peace, swam happily to Yu Youyou and circled around her a few times as a sign of gratitude.

The little fish waved to the red damselfish and said in a tender and clear voice:

"You're welcome."

Lu Keming stared at this adorable scene, his heart softening and fluttering.

He loosened and clenched his hands at his sides, then suddenly let out a long breath, releasing the sweet emotions surging in his chest, thus preventing his brain from getting out of control due to this excessive cuteness.

The little fish in front swam for a while, and seeing that Lu Keming still hadn't followed, she turned back to look at Lu Keming, who was still standing there, and called out:

"Kind wizard, why aren't you coming over?"

Lu Keming snapped out of his daze and immediately caught up with Xiaoyu, "We're here!"

Little Fish continued forward, and soon she stopped in front of a cabin, her voice filled with excitement:

"This is a sparkly room."

Lu Keming became curious. He had heard more or less about the marine creatures that lived in the previous rooms.

But this was the first time he had ever heard of Liangjingjing. What kind of new species of creature was this?

When he followed the little fish's gaze, he immediately saw countless jewels.

The entire cabin was filled with all kinds of dazzling jewels: perfectly round pearls, gleaming gemstones, crystals, and countless gold ornaments.

The moment the light shone on the jewels in the little fish's eyes, they seemed to come alive, their dazzling light silently proclaiming their value.

Lu Keming looked at the entire cabin full of jewelry and raised an eyebrow.

This is perhaps the treasure that countless pirates and treasure hunters have spent their entire lives searching for, but at this moment it lies quietly in the little fish's boat.

She didn't even know their value; to her they were probably just pretty toys.

"Do you like these?" Lu Keming thought about the many jewels hidden in the caves in the Utar no-man's-land. If he had known Youyou liked them, he would have given them all to her.

"I like it," Xiaoyu immediately replied affirmatively. Just as Lu Keming decided to give Youyou the jewelry from the cave when he got back, he suddenly heard her next sentence:

"They're delicious!"

Lu Keming's expression froze. He looked at Xiaoyu in disbelief, and his voice rose:

"You put them here to eat?"

"What else?" Xiaoyu was a little confused by Lu Keming's suddenly raised voice.

She picked up a gold coin and swallowed it, demonstrating it to Lu Keming on the spot, and then said in a crisp voice, "That's how you eat it."

Xiaoyu moved too fast, and before Lu Keming could stop her, he watched helplessly as she swallowed the gold coin in one gulp.

Lu Keming stared at the little fish's round belly, his soul slowly leaving his body.

Under Xiaoyu's puzzled gaze, he comforted himself: Youyou is a deity, so there shouldn't be any problem with her eating these things.

At this moment, Lu Keming recalled the strange and unusual things Youyou used to eat. Compared to the diamonds and gold coins she ate when she was a child, they were indeed much more restrained.

He really should go back and praise her.

Looking at Lu Keming muttering to himself, Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Lu Keming forced a smile and said weakly, "Let's go, let's go to the next place."

If she stays here, she might be able to eat a few more gold coins.

"Oh." Little Fish nodded, but just as they were about to reach the next room, Little Fish suddenly stopped.

Lu Keming followed her gaze and saw an elegant pink jellyfish floating by. This jellyfish was different from the one he had seen in the cabin before.

This jellyfish has a transparent pink bell, and several pinkish-purple spots on the lobes of the bell edge. Its long purple tentacles dance in the water like ribbons, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"Be careful, don't bump into anything." Xiaoyu turned to Lu Keming and instructed him:

"This is a bioluminescent jellyfish, and it's poisonous."

"Okay." Without hesitation, Lu Keming took a few steps back and obediently moved away from the jellyfish.

But the next moment he saw Yu Youyou open her mouth and swallow the jellyfish whole.

"You ate it again?" Lu Keming stared in astonishment at the tentacle still clinging to the corner of her mouth, his voice rising several decibels:

"Wasn't it said to be poisonous?!"

"I'm fine, I eat this all the time." The little fish shook its head nonchalantly, chewed the last tentacle into its mouth, and said in a muffled voice:

"It won't kill me."
