Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were both confused by this.
After all, if she really did give the heart, that would mean death for the whale, but the way she put it, it seemed like that wasn't the case. Could it be that she never learned biology when she was younger?
But of course, it was impossible that she wouldn't know that the whale would die without a heart.
So just what was she planning.
After revealing that mysterious smile for a while, she didn't say anything to explain to Lin Fan or Mo Ze Chen as she turned back to the whale that was in the water and shouted, "Xiao Jing, show them what I mean."
The whale came out of the water again, but this time its mouth was right by where the little girl was standing.
After coming out of the water a bit more, it suddenly opened its mouth and began moving towards the little girl on the deck of the ship. From any angle one looked at it from, it almost seemed clear that the whale was about to eat the little girl. Even Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen had this doubt.
However, before the mouth reached the little girl and closed on her, it suddenly stopped right behind her in the air. After stopping, the tongue suddenly came out with something that was covered in a golden glow on it.
When Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen looked more closely, they found that it was nothing more than a simple pebble, but the fact that it had a golden glow around it meant that this pebble was anything but normal.
They knew that in these ruins, this golden glow was the most important thing since it was the only thing that could defeat the ghosts. But at the same time, there were only a few items that had this golden glow around it, so it wasn't something that was easy to get.
The little girl saw the way Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were looking at the golden glowing pebble and said with a faint smile, "Can you guess what this is?"
Lin Fan looked at the little pebble for a bit before saying, "The whale's heart?"
The little girl gave a nod before shaking her head and saying, "Yes and now. It's not Xiao Jing's heart to be precise, but rather the energy from Xiao Jing's heart placed into a common pebble."
Lin Fan was confused when he heard this, but he also quickly put the pieces together. After all, there must be a reason why these items had a golden glow around them since it wasn't like they were naturally occurring objects. Especially the doll of Faust's loved one, there must have been something that injected the golden energy into that doll.
Since that was the case, it shouldn't be strange that the little girl and the whale were also able to control this energy.
But that didn't explain what this energy was exactly.
The little girl could see the look of thought on Lin Fan's face, but after looking up at the barrier, she said, "Take it quickly before someone tries to interfere with this."
Lin Fan could see the urgent look on her face, so he didn't ask anything and came forward to take the pebble.
The moment he did, the energy of the pebble flowed through his arm and into the golden diamond that was on his forehead. Once again, there were scenes that appeared in front of his eyes, scenes similar to the ones that he had seen before, but also scenes from the memories of the little girl and the whale.
They didn't give him any more clues than he already knew, but it did show him what happened after the ending of the story.
The little whale had been saved by his mother in the end, reincarnated into a new body.
The little girl was also saved by the sea goddess, bringing her out of the sea after she had walked into it looking for forgiveness from her whale friend.
However, the sea goddess wasn't able to save the little girl completely, since she was already weakened by the sea before the sea goddess found her. After all, she had been a little girl without any cultivation at all that had drifted in the sea for close to an hour before being found. It was more than enough to destroy a grown man's body, not to mention a little girl's body like this.
So while the sea goddess brought her back, she couldn't save her completely.
In the end, the little whale was the one that had come up with the solution to this problem.
Even if they couldn't save the body of the little girl, they could still save her soul. That meant that the soul could be injected into something new, something that would have a high compatibility with her, so it wouldn't reject. The little whale's new body was perfect for this since it was made to accept souls.
The sea goddess wasn't certain about this at first, but seeing how determined the little whale was, she decided to follow his suggestion.
The soul of the little girl was placed in the little whale's body and after a bit of time, they merged together into one.
The heart of the whale, which was the core of the new body, now housed two different souls that worked together as one.
So in the end, the little girl got her wish to be reunited with the little whale, but it was a bit different from what she imagined. After all, she now shared a single body with the little whale.
But the two of them remained best friends even after all of this.
However, as for why the two of them were here, that wasn't something that was shown to Lin Fan.
The final scene that he saw was a conversation between the little girl, the whale, and the sea goddess.
The sea goddess was surprisingly able to control this golden energy and showed it to the two of them before saying, "When someone shows up with this golden energy in the future, be sure to help them because they are the hope of us gods. We need to watch over that person until they develop and can fulfill the dream that we have."
The little girl and the little whale were confused when they heard this, but this was a task that was given to them by their mother, so they chose to accept it.
Now that the little girl had been united with the little whale, she had taken the sea goddess as a mother as well and the sea goddess didn't mind since she always wanted a daughter as well.
That was where the memories ended and Lin Fan appeared in the real world again.
The little girl could see that Lin Fan still had many other questions, but before either of them could speak, there was a sudden beam of golden light that fell down onto the barrier around them.
This was the same beam of golden light that had fallen down in the hospital, the one that had completely wiped out Faust.
However, the results of this beam of golden light falling down this time was different.
Unlike before where the beam of golden light wiped out everything that it wanted to wipe out, when it collided with the barrier, there was only a single second of delay before the beam that collided with the barrier scattered. While the barrier did flicker and become weaker momentarily, it still remained in place and held out the beam of golden light.
The little girl looked up at the beam of golden light above them and slightly knitted her brows.
This was Lin Fan's first time seeing this kind of look from the little girl.
While she always smiled and didn't seem like she cared about anything, she did have her serious side from time to time.
However, no matter what expression she had, there was one thing that had never appeared.
But now Lin Fan was seeing this emotion for the first time on her face.
It was worry, there was a bit of worry that had appeared on her face.
…
At the top of the tree, the beast was still sitting there, but it was no longer looking down at the humans. Instead, it was once again looking straight down the tree, in the direction of the south of this time, looking right in the direction of the sea that the boat was on.
The beast muttered under its breath, "First it's that damn Faust and now it's that damn whale, does everyone want to go against the master?"
The beast licked its paws a few times as it decided what to do.
The surrounding ghost commanders could tell that the beast wasn't in a good mood and none of them wanted to go forward to say anything, but they knew that if they didn't, it also wouldn't end well for them.
This beast was very moody and at any time, it could snap, which was never a good thing.
So finally after choosing among themselves by looking at each other, one of the ghost commanders finally came forward.
The ghost commander came up to the beast who was lying down on one of the branches and said, "Should we send someone in there to deal with the whale?"
When the beast heard this, it turned in the direction of the ghost commander and narrowed its eyes as it looked at that ghost commander.
