After Bai Ren finished speaking, he shyly twisted his tentacles and looked at Mo Yi with his shiny black eyes.
Unfortunately, the language of the sea tribe was difficult to understand. All Mo Yi could hear in his ears was: “Splish-splash, splish-splash splish-splash…”
But even though he couldn’t understand, Mo Yi, with rose-tinted filters thicker than eight meters, still found the small tentacles incredibly cute.
Even the splish-splash tone seemed to resonate in his heart.
“So adorable!” Mo Yi couldn’t remember how many times he had said “adorable.” He just couldn’t get enough of being affectionate with his partner.
Seeing the affectionate attitude of the small tentacles in front of him, Mo Yi felt confident that his partner must like him.
However, what should he call him? He couldn’t just call him “little octopus” or something, there were so many octopuses.
“What should I call you?” Mo Yi tilted his head, looking at the small tentacles with some confusion.
“Splish-splash, splish-splash splish-splash…”
[This prince’s name is Bai Ren, how’s that? It’s quite imposing!]The small tentacles waved their arms and said somewhat proudly.
But for Mo Yi, it was just hearing a few more splish-splashes.
Could it be that he had to call his partner Splish-splash? Although it was cute, it felt a bit strange.
Thinking back to the fact that in many previous worlds, his partner’s surname had always been Bai: “How about I call you Baibai? Is that okay?”

[Forget it, I’ll let it go since he’s my future queen. Hmph!╭(╯^╰)╮！]
Bai Ren sulked alone, while Mo Yi’s initial excitement subsided, and he calmed down. He understood that he couldn’t stay here forever.
Having received the memories of the original host, Mo Yi knew that he was only temporarily on this small planet to carry out a mission. After a while, he would have to leave. So, he needed to make sure his partner was settled and bring them back together.
Speaking of which, the original host’s assigned task was initially to eradicate the space pirates in this area. However, upon arriving near this small planet, they discovered signals of mineral resources, so they changed their route temporarily.
In this world, the physical and mental strength of the beastmen was much stronger than Mo Yi’s previous world. Not only did they possess traits of beasts and could transform, but they could also enhance their strength through constant training.
In the bodies of the beastmen here, there existed something called the Beast Core, similar to the inner core of demonic cultivators in cultivation novels. By cultivating the Beast Core, beastmen could increase their levels.
Beastmen levels here were divided into ten levels, and generally, those above level five could be considered experts. Currently, the strongest force in the Beastmen Empire, the level of the Marshal, was only around level 9.
As for level ten, those were legendary beastmen, said to appear only once in hundreds of years.
To improve their levels, beastmen here relied not only on their diligent cultivation but also on natural resources.
Apart from some herbal remedies, the most effective resource was Crystal Stones.
Crystal Stones were extremely rare cultivation materials for beastmen. Different types of Crystal Stones contained varying amounts of energy, which could assist in beastmen’s cultivation.
Generally, the energy of Crystal Stones was closely related to their color and quality. Lighter-colored Crystal Stones had less energy, while darker ones had more.
So the black crystal that Mo Yi just picked up seemed particularly rare. Just a small piece of it could potentially elevate a beastman’s overall strength by one level.
Thinking about the level system, Mo Yi couldn’t help but ask 006 in his mind, “So, system, what level am I now?”
Hearing this, little dog immediately responded with some excitement, “Host, the original host was at level six, already considered quite skilled. But you’re different. Your spiritual strength is exceptionally powerful, so your mental level is directly at level ten.
It’s just that your body needs some time to adapt to the strengthening process. Currently, you’re at level eight!”
Mo Yi, upon hearing this, felt a sense of pride swelling within him. He knew he was quite formidable!
Mo Yi continued to massage the small tentacles on his hand while sorting through the memories of the original host.
“No wonder that little guy was so envious of that black crystal.”
With that said, Mo Yi took out the black crystal he had stashed in his pocket earlier, intending to examine it closely. According to the memories of the original host, he could also try to absorb the energy inside the crystal.
However, as soon as Mo Yi took it out, the small tentacles clinging to his arm reached out and dragged the black crystal directly into their embrace.
“What are you doing?”
Mo Yi didn’t stop Bai Ren’s actions, but he was curious about what he intended to do.
Then, he saw the small tentacles bring the black crystal in front of their eyes. With a short tentacle acting as a makeshift mouthguard, Bai Ren ‘ah-wooed’ and swallowed the crystal right in front of Mo Yi!
“What are you doing? You can’t just eat random things!”
Mo Yi hurriedly tried to touch Bai Ren’s mouth, attempting to retrieve the crystal. After all, having absorbed the original host’s memories, Mo Yi remembered that beastmen didn’t absorb crystal energy by simply swallowing it. They usually found a quiet place and absorbed it directly into their hands.
However, Bai Ren refused Mo Yi’s actions. Several tentacles blocked Mo Yi’s hand, and Bai Ren’s mouth emitted squeaky sounds of refusal, making Mo Yi’s teeth ache.
Although Mo Yi, as a healthy and strong dog, had excellent dental health and often enjoyed chewing on big bones, he had never tried gnawing on a stone before.
He knew it would damage his teeth!
He wonders why his companion has such a good appetite in this lifetime. Or is it that the way sea tribe absorb crystal energy is different from theirs? Are they all directly swallowed?
Mo Yi was puzzled. He remembered seeing Bai Ren open his mouth earlier, revealing multiple layers of shiny white teeth inside. Perhaps, their way of absorbing energy was indeed different.
After chewing a few times, Mo Yi saw Bai Ren swallow the black crystal directly and let out a satisfied burp, squinting his little eyes with a very contented look. Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like everything was fine!
On the other hand, after Bai Ren finished eating and absorbed the energy from the black crystal, he felt instantly refreshed and much more comfortable throughout his body. The headache that had been bothering him earlier also eased significantly.
Satisfied with the feeling of his body’s condition, Bai Ren turned his head to look at Mo Yi, who had been staring at him silently the whole time. Bai Ren felt a bit guilty.
Why did this beastman keep staring at him without saying anything? Wasn’t he quite talkative before? Could it be because he was angry that Bai Ren had just consumed his energy crystal?
It was just one energy crystal, why was he being so stingy? He even said he liked me!
But, that was a piece of black crystal. One should know that it’s quite rare even in their royal family of the sea tribe, rarely seen.
“Glug.” Bai Ren swallowed nervously, cautiously watching Mo Yi, then tentatively reached out one of his tentacles towards him.
[Hey, don’t be upset. I’m the prince of the sea tribe. When I go back, you can have as many energy crystals as you want! Even if you want black ones, it’s no problem!]
Being stared at by his round little eyes, Mo Yi couldn’t help but want to laugh. Although he couldn’t understand what the other was saying, inexplicably, Mo Yi felt like his companion was comforting him.
Feeling that his companion, even in his childhood, was exceptionally thoughtful, Mo Yi rubbed his round head and said, “It’s great that you’re okay. In my memory, beastmen absorb crystals directly, so when I saw you swallow it like that, I was worried you might have some problems!”
Upon hearing Mo Yi’s words, Bai Ren stiffened for a moment, realizing that it was indeed the case. His guard uncles had also taught him how to absorb crystals, and it was indeed done by placing his hand on them to absorb the energy.
A Bai that isn’t scheming?! How’s that possible???
Lol that’s what I am saying
😅gosh….he’s adorable
