Sea otter Fugui was pinched by his fateful nape and the otter felt uncomfortable all over.
He exhausted almost all his strength to break free from Xie Tianlang’s grasp, but it was obviously to no avail – after he had turned into a sea otter, his entire body size had shrunk by more than half, and the sea otter itself is not a fierce beast with great strength, it’s a cute little beast that can only rub its face and sunbathe, okay?!
So, the sea otter Fugui, who had struggled fruitlessly, couldn’t bear it anymore and roared at Xie Tianlang. Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to spit out human words and reveal his golden finger, i.e., that he could transform. Gou Fugui even decided that, as long as he was still in sea otter form and still with these people, he would never revert into a human and reveal his true identity.
Therefore, the roar that brewed in Gou Fugui’s chest and burst out of his mouth wasn’t a “f*ck you” or “I’m your father” type of greeting, but a series of… indescribable cries characteristic of sea otters ——
“hah ah ah —— hah hah waaah!!!”
What a lonely roar— even after howling with all his might, it was completely devoid of any semblance of authority.
Xie Tianlang watched as the sea otter howled and struggled desperately in his hands, even trying to scratch him with its two short paws and even shorter claws, and raised his eyebrows. This little thing it’s not too big but it’s quite temperamental. It also felt smooth and oily to the touch, quite vigorous.
It just didn’t seem to be in its right mind.
“It shouldn’t be sick if it’s so spirited. If you can’t braise it, it should still be possible to eat the meat raw.”
“The skin is good; if you peel it off and make it into a waterproof bag, it should last for a long time.”
As he listened to these words, the sea otter Fugui was simply stunned by this wolfish rogue‘s shamelessness.
Listen to what you are saying, is this human language?! Faced with such a cute sea otter Fugui, you actually want to eat Laozi raw, and you still want to peel Laozi’s skin off to make a waterproof bag?!
I’m not f*cking human anymore, but you’re the real dog!
“squeak ahhhhhh! ow ow ow!”
By this time, the other three Second Team members who had fallen from mid-air with Xie Tianlang had all gathered around, all of them looking a bit wretched. But Gou Fugui, who was being pinched by the neck, noticed that when these three men came to Xie Tianlang’s side, they all looked relieved as if they trusted him very much.
There was indeed something different about this Xie Tianlang who was trusted by them. It was clear that he was stranded in a savage sea, wave after wave, and the other three men were using all their strength to keep their balance amidst the stormy waves, but Xie Tianlang didn’t seem to be bothered by the waves at all.
His body muscles seemed to be able to adjust themselves according to the lapping and rolling of the waves as if he was “drifting with the current“ in the most effortless way.
Gou Fugui stared at his body and the surrounding waves and suddenly felt that the way he floated was as relaxed as a… sea otter.
At this point, Xie Tianlang also spoke to the three team members who had gathered around him.
“Didn’t you learn how to work your muscles in the water and the best floating posture? If you don’t use them at this time, when else do you plan to use them? Once you’re dead?”
Obviously, Xie Tianlang had even given a standard non-toothy smile at the end of his sentence, but Gou Fugui was still keen enough to notice the other three men shiver in unison. But soon the three men’s posture became a lot more relaxed as they floundered in the sea, at least preserving the most strength amidst these raging stormy waves.
Tsk, it was really obvious who was the boss at first glance.
The sea otter Fugui struggled once more and found that he still couldn’t escape, so he rolled his eyes and started rubbing his face and combing his fur with his two little paws.
As a real sea otter, he couldn’t forget to comb his fur at all times.
At this time, the captain of the Second Team, Qin Feng, swam over with some difficulty, and when he saw that Xie Tianang was actually holding a sea otter that was rubbing its face and combing its fur, the expression on his face went blank for a moment.

But soon he said, “There are sea otters on this side of the world as well as the sea, does that mean that the ecological system of this world is similar to ours?”

Sure enough, the brain is not very good, but this attitude of conforming to fate is quite good.
“Just one sea otter is not enough to conclude anything yet. Qin Feng and Lu Hu tie the life-saving airbags together, Sanchuan determine the direction, don’t waste time here.”
The wind and waves here were too strong; if they couldn’t find a boat or get to shore soon even a well-trained national elite wouldn’t last long.
The three men nodded, and then Qin Feng and Lu Hu began to tie the life-saving airbags. Meanwhile, he glanced around a few times with some worry, but the sky was grey and the rain was pouring down; he could hardly see anything except the curtain of rain between heaven and earth. Naturally, it was impossible to see if there were any other teammates on the sea beside the four of them who had fallen from mid-air.
Hopefully, the other six teammates didn’t plummet into this vast sea, as all nine of the second team jumped into the vortex arm in arm, but, in the end, only three of them came together.
Boss Xie, who was in a team by himself and disliked their ugly stances, didn’t jump arm in arm with them but still fell into the sea with them. It’s really impossible to determine what the criterion for landing inside the Doomsday Gate is.
At this moment, the all-rounder Second Team member, Song Sanchuan, opened a small bag he was carrying and pulled out a small metal detector from it. The detector trembling flew into the air under his control, but before it could transmit the commonly used communication waves or take some high-resolution photos, it was knocked down by a huge wave.
Song Sanchuan let out a distressed cry and swam over with his arms swinging to retrieve his metal detector, then reported to Xie Tianlang with some frustration, “Boss, the detector doesn’t work here, ahem, the weather is too harsh!”
If the entire world here was full of such vast seas and violent storms, then he really didn’t know how they could save it.
Just as such a thought came to Song Sanchuan, he suddenly froze.
The sea otter Fugui, who had already combed his belly, saw the four people in front of him freeze, and, after a moment, it dawned on him.
They also must be receiving the instructions of the World Consciousness on how to save the world. He wondered if the four of them would get a bit of favoritism from the World’s Father as well. Give them a golden finger or something.
As Gou Fugui rubbed and waited, the four collectively returned to their senses after ten seconds or so. Just looking at their appearances, none of them should have received the World Father’s favoritism.
“Ahahah.”
The sea otter Fugui let out three pleased and joyful sea otter cries. It was true that when it came to character, he, Fugui’er, had the best one.
“Boss Xie, Boss Qin! Did you all hear that?” Lu Hu of the second team asked in a jarring voice.
Qin Feng nodded his head, but the expression on his face was a bit more serious.
“If we want to save this doomed world we have to find the core of the world and repair it. The way to repair it is to solve the root cause of the Doomsday, or to preserve the minimum amount of life force.”
“But we can’t do either of those things right now. The priority is to quickly get out of the sea and get ashore. Once we’re ashore we can quickly understand the state of the world and determine the source of the doom before we can search for the world’s core or do what we can.”
“But the storm here is so strong that we are even struggling to stay afloat, and Sanchuan’s mechanical detector doesn’t work, so how can we find the nearest direction to get ashore, or find a boat?”
Song Sanchuan wiped the beads of water from his face, “It’s useless to look for a ship, with a storm of this magnitude, even a standard aircraft carrier wouldn’t be able to hold out! Cough, as long as we can find a mechanical power unit! I can modify it so it can tow us away quickly!”
“If we are left on our own in this sea, even Devil Xie, ahem, Boss Xie wouldn’t be able to swim out on its own.”
As Song Sanchuan spoke, he suddenly glanced at the sea otter Fugui who was rubbing his feet with very envious eyes: “If only we were all sea otters! Animals like sea otters are born to float on the surface of the sea!”
Gou Fugui nodded approvingly at those words, then looked up and gave the baby-faced youth a little look that said ‘you have a very good eye’. It seems that you and I have the same dream, it’s just a pity that this dream will never come true for you in your entire lifetime, while I can.
“Welp! Boss Xie! This sea otter just looked up at me… but why do I think his eyes were a bit strange? It seemed to carry three parts pity, three parts appreciation, and four parts complacency?”
Xie Tianlang glanced at Song Sanchuan and smiled falsely, “Oh, maybe it’s because it thinks you’re stupid and cute.”
“Just like itself.”
Song Sanchuan and sea otter Fugui froze simultaneously.
Sea otter Fugui roared at Xie Tianlong once more.
“Aaaaahhhhhh! Ow ow ow ow!” You’re the one who’s stupid and cute! Your whole family is stupid and cute!
Only, the sea otter Fugui’s rant was viciously cut off midway through by the ruthless and stupid human. Xie Tianlang squeezed the skin on the back of the sea otter Fugui’s neck again (he had let go midway through seeing how he was comfortably grooming itself and not running away), “Well, don’t scream at me. No other otter will come to your rescue even if you scream your throat out.”
The sea otter Fugui: “……” My God, you can still say such a hackneyed joke to a sea otter!
Xie Tianlang reached out and gave sea otter Fugui’s soft, chubby body a little shake, and spoke indifferently in the face of the otter’s accusing eyes, “Move your little nose and smell if there are any people or land around here.”
“Or else, I’ll eat you.”
Sea otter Fugui: “……”
Qin Feng, Lu Hu: “……”
Is this how you threaten a sea otter? Boss Xie, no way! It’s not going to happen!
Song Sanchuan, however, hit his palm at this time: “How could I have forgotten this! The sea otter’s sense of smell is quite sensitive, and every sea otter can smell all kinds of scents from 8,000 meters away!”
“How wise of you, Boss Xie! How could you have randomly caught a sea otter! But… does this sea otter understand?”
Xie Tianlang looked at the little sea otter that was already rolling its eyes at him, and suddenly revealed a smile that was completely different from his previous fake smile; it was a delighted smile. “It’s probably a fate from heaven. And, it will understand.”
The sea otter Fugui: “Ah” Heh.
Fate you father; this is a heaven-sent calamity, right?
But in the end, the pitiful sea otter Fugui was forced to listen to Xie Tianlang and became a guide otter.
In addition to his own desire to quickly leave the stormy sea and find human life, that wolfish rogue was simply fiercer than a fierce man and was really threatening his otter body’s safety in every way possible!
Not to mention always tugging on his tail, pinching his face, and patting his butt, but in the end, he even took out a small knife and gestured at him as if he would really skin him and eat him if he didn’t cooperate!
The sea otter Fugui angrily paddled ahead, using his tail to splash the wolfish rogue’s face with water. Let this guy drink his bath water, and don’t let him run into this guy again when he gets out of the sea, or he’ll have to give him the middle finger right to his face.
After ten minutes of swimming in one direction, the sea otter Fugui’s little nose finally picked up a familiar scent.
It was the scent of the “living”, and beyond that, the scent of blood and death.
The sea otter Fugui straightened up suddenly, his little head and small eyes looking straight in that direction.
The group of four that was closely following him immediately noticed his abnormality. Xie Tianlang reached out and squeezed the sea otter’s fateful nape again: “Yuanyuan, do you smell the scent of humans?”
Gou Fugui struggled angrily, “Ow.” You’re the round one, your whole family is round.
Xie Tianlang chuckled, let go of his nape, and turned his hand to touch the little sea otter’s head, “Good job, I’ll feed you an extra little fish later.”
The sea otter Fugui drifted back and combed the fur on his head in disgust: “Ah ah!”
Don’t touch Daddy’s head! Did Daddy ask you for food? And you want to feed me a little fish? Let’s just say that in this sea, you’re all starving to death, and Daddy is well-fed!
What’s more, I’m eating sea urchins, crabs, and shells, which are worth a lot of money!
The author has something to say:
Xie Tianlang: Yuanyuan, come on, smell it.
Sea otter Fugui: ……
Xie Tianlang: Yuanyuan, come, eat the fish.
Sea otter Fugui:… eat your grandpa, you really can’t outlive me you know?!
petty’s note:
Everyone, I’m so sorry it took me so long to upload a new chapter but I was so busy with university I didn’t even realise so much time had passed. I’m relatively less busy these days and I’ll try to upload at least 2-3 chapters a week~
And thank you @Sours for the ko-fi!❤️ ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡
»Xie Tianwolf glanced at Song Sanchuan and smiled falsely..« Tianlang

thanks for the update!! also, good luck with your studies (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
I wonder when he’ll manage to escape. 😅
Thanks for the chapter! Don’t worry translator, that can happen to us all. I’m very happy to see that this wasn’t dropped for whatever reason.
You jinxed it, hahahahhHahhAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAA
Don’t remind me. Although I understand that real life comes first, there wasn’t even an update to the current situation on here or Discord. After this chapter was released. A shame as this seemed really interesting.
Yeah, sadly no other TLs have picked this up either 🙁
Someone did. The next chapter it’s in novelupdates. I hope this will be continued here in CG.
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
So I would like to point out to the author who will never see this that Otters are Mustalids which include badgers, wolverines, and weasels. I’m not as familiar with sea otters as I am with river but they typically have loose skin and powerful biteforces. Yes otters are cute but if the MC wanted too he could mess up the ML’s arm. Anyway, only read the first paragraph sorry, I’ll get back to it
Thank you for your hard work!!
Our Sea Otter Fugui seems to be so cute 🥰
but hasn’t gone to capture food for himself right? Idk of MC has the skills to catch prey, so maybe Rouge Tianlang really will be the provider of food 🤔Hope to see his other otter skills in action in the next few chapters 😄
Thank you so much for translating ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍
Please don’t be dropped 🙏
+1
+2
+3
+4
I think it is 🙁
I wonder if this will ever be continued……
Second that
Is this dropped?
