CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 200: HOSPITAL, EYES, COOPERATION

Li Qingping held the crystal ball in one hand, looking down at the little shark, silently following behind Cezar.

The two walked in a line along the corridor away from the sleeping quarters.

He was silent for a moment, then lifted his head to look at the back of the white-haired boy.

Recalling the scene that had just happened in the hall, he felt that the boy before him seemed to have grown up overnight, exuding an aura of authority reminiscent of his father, with the demeanor of a leader, yet still showing a childish side to those close to him.

Li Qingping understood what His Highness Cezar had gone through during this period - being deserted by everyone, with his only cherished person bedridden. Anyone would feel heartbroken.

But he couldn’t understand, could a person really change so much in such a short time?

As if able to read his thoughts, the little shark inside the crystal ball suddenly spoke.

"Li Qingping, come closer." Yaguba said softly.

Li Qingping glanced down at it, then helplessly lifted the crystal ball to his ear and asked:

"What’s up?"

"This is the darkened pupil that Shark Shark has cultivated, don’t you realize Shark Shark’s prowess?"

Yaguba hinted at Cezar ahead with its eyes, while raising its head to ask Li Qingping.

"Darkened pupil?" Li Qingping raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Ah, clearly you haven’t spent enough time online." The little shark shook its head dismissively, "Get lost, it’s truly like casting pearls before swine, casting a lute before a dragon, casting pearls before pigs."

Li Qingping remained silent for a while and silently lowered his hand, placing the crystal ball back at his waist.

He calmly said, "The other day I was idly flipping through books in the library. The Eternal Abyss Shark... according to the records, it’s the only shark group with disguise abilities."

Yaguba, however, didn’t show any fear or panic at being exposed, but calmly asked:

"So what?"

"Baka Yarou, what is your purpose?" Li Qingping asked word by word.

"You’re Baka Yarou, your whole family are Baka Yarous. The name of Shark Shark is obviously Yaguba, okay?!"

"Baka Yarou, disguising yourself as a Nobel Shark and entering the enemy’s stomach can’t be without intention."

Yaguba snorted coldly, blew some bubbles with a "gurgling" sound, and said, "No matter what my purpose is, you just need to know that without me, Cezar would have already died."

"But that doesn’t stop me from thinking you have ulterior motives." Li Qingping said flatly, "Or perhaps your purpose has to rely on protecting the Third Prince to be achieved."

"Hey, I’m a shark, you know. What ulterior motives could a shark have? Could I possibly covet the treasures and throne of the Whale Terrarium?"

Li Qingping said no more, but the hand holding the crystal ball tightened slightly.

Yaguba sighed, "Then I’ll be straightforward. I’m planning to eat the last Legendary Whale. But I won’t kill indiscriminately. Before eating the whale, I’ll first let the residents of the Whale Terrarium out."

Saying this, it licked its sharp little fangs, "Of course, if I could turn the Whale Terrarium into the ’Shark Terrarium,’ that wouldn’t be bad either."

"Reckless..." Li Qingping muttered, "If there are undiscovered people still inside the terrarium, then what? Would they just be swallowed along with the whale and digested by you?"

"That’s not something I should consider. I’m just a shark. Why should I care about humans’ safety?" Yaguba said, "Either way, you need my power right now. Fighting among ourselves at this point is not beneficial for either of us, human."

Li Qingping was silent for a while, "That’s true."

"Don’t worry, Shark Shark has a sense of proportion." Yaguba said.

"The White King’s Staff has the ability to exile people from the Whale Terrarium." Li Qingping said, "If Cezar can obtain the White King’s Staff, he could use it to let the residents leave the terrarium, and then it wouldn’t matter if you swallowed the Legendary Whale."

"There’s a solution, isn’t there?"

"But the White King’s Staff is still with the King." Li Qingping said, "And the King is comatose."

"No worries, we’ll take it step by step." Yaguba said, "But I’m surprised you actually agree to me eating this whale?"

Li Qingping thought for a moment, "The Whale Terrarium is a giant cage. I think everyone should go outside and see the world, then they’ll realize how vast it truly is."

He paused, "Those decaying royal institutions should have been eliminated long ago."

"Quite dangerous indeed," Yaguba remarked, "If the royalty heard you say that, they’d have you executed."

"No one is born to kneel to anyone," Li Qingping said.

"Indeed, they should kneel to Shark Shark, after all, Shark Shark isn’t human." Yaguba nodded.

Li Qingping ignored it, "Only when they reach the outside world will the citizens here understand the principle of ’born equal.’ They’ve lived in this environment for so long that they take everything for granted."

"Then you haven’t spent enough time outside; where’s the ’born equal’ out there?"

"Green Tea Shark, do you have to oppose me on everything?"

"Trash Red Dragon, when you live as long as Shark Shark, you’ll understand these truths," Yaguba snorted coldly, "I am a great sage that has lived for a thousand years."

"If you do nothing but eat and sleep, you’ll still be an empty-headed glutton even if you live for ten thousand years."

"Shut up! You’re slandering our species, the Eternal Abyss Sharks."

"No problem, you’re nearly extinct anyway."

Yaguba pressed onto the glass, raising an eyebrow with a fierce grin, "Wanna fight? Let’s see whether the Red Dragon or Shark Shark goes extinct first."
