Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

The Catfish seemed to understand and looked at Bai Yu and the other six, seemingly searching for who Bai Yu was.

These six guys all looked the same.

Bai Yu found this scene quite interesting.

‘Is this effective communication? It’s truly simple and crude!’

From the process, this Catfish Demon was quite human-like! And this Fat Catfish did look rather docile and cute, very suitable for taming.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu spoke: “Tell me about your origins.”

The Catfish seemed to pause, its large eyes filled with bewilderment.

Look, do I have a human mouth? How am I supposed to speak!

“I told you to speak, didn’t you hear?”

The Catfish suddenly remembered that this grand-aunt was still here and could act as a translator.

Without any visible mouth movements, White Spirit’s relaying voice was heard: “You said you only Awakened your sentience 5 days ago? Before that, you grew in size by using the Spiritual Eye in the lake.”

“Now you are just temporarily borrowing this precious place to Cultivate? You absolutely have no ill intentions.”

After hearing the relay, Bai Yu asked: “Then why did you run out and scare people?”

“Gurgle~ Gurgle~”

The Catfish opened its mouth, as if it was arguing.

“Yu Ge, it says it was just tired from Cultivating and went out for a walk, not intending to scare anyone.”

“Alright. Being this fat, it really does need to go out more and lose some weight.”

Catfish Demon: ??? I’m not fat! This is all the accumulation of years. But I dare not say it.

“Then tell him to come with me to the lake surface for now, and interact with ordinary humans. It would be best if people could sit on its back to soothe the public’s emotions.”

“In the future, it can show itself, and even go to the shore to play with humans. But it must be honest and appear intelligent and docile.”

“And then, this is the key task I’m giving you! Spend a few hours every day patrolling the waters of both lakes, to see if there are any abnormal creatures, or even monster races like mermen.”

“Consider it as losing weight.”

Liu Feifei and the others had not heard the content of Bai Yu’s conversation with Lin Professor, and now hearing this idea, they were stunned.

When it comes to fun, you’re the expert!

Can it really stay in Yun Lake?

Did Lin Professor’s side also agree?

Seeing the Catfish still thinking, White Spirit flicked her tail, stirring the water.

Upon seeing this, the Catfish immediately became obedient, bowing frantically, likely nodding in agreement; those unaware might have thought it was saying ‘sumimasen’.

“Yu Ge, he agreed.”

“Good. If you actively attack humans, then consider how much this meat is worth.”

The Catfish quickly argued.

“It says it absolutely doesn’t eat human flesh, and has no interest in humans, only wanting to Cultivate honestly and become the strongest Catfish.”

“That’s good! Occasionally surface and interact more with tourists. If the tourism industry booms and I can get some benefits from it, I’ll use it to buy you treasures for Cultivating.”

Upon hearing this, the Catfish was delighted!

Everyone: ??? Make money?

Goodness!

They could already imagine how popular tourism would become once Spirit Beasts appeared.

It’s just that—

Li Yunbin couldn’t help but say: “Uh, although the higher-ups haven’t made specific arrangements and let us improvise, doing this might cause a sensation.”

“Captain, this isn’t just my idea. Lin Professor’s original plan was to take it back for taming, and if successful, consider releasing it back into Yun Lake. At least, judging by the higher-ups’ attitude towards this matter, it seems quite casual.”

“Now, Mote Manor has caused such a big stir that the truth can’t be hidden forever. The extraordinary world probably won’t be kept secret for much longer. I feel that the higher-ups’ idea is to gradually open up. Letting Spirit Beasts interact with humans now, if the news suddenly spreads later, people who have already had contact with friendly Spirit Beasts will have their panic reduced.”

“Hmm, then I’ll write a report to the higher-ups.”

“Alright! Shall we take the Catfish Demon up now?”

Li Yunbin also agreed: “We can indeed see the public’s reaction to the Catfish Demon. This task was explicitly assigned by the higher-ups before we came.”

“Got it!”

Bai Yu was a newcomer, and more importantly, he had a lot of merit, so he acted somewhat fearlessly.

His inner thought was that letting this Spirit Beast openly help him patrol the waters was the Righteous Path.
