I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"But……"

"what?"

The baby killer whale looked at the daylight, somewhat embarrassed.

"The old man is so good to me, what can I do for him?"

The little orca wasn't the type to take others' care for granted. Having received so much help from Bai Zhou, she would feel guilty if she didn't do something to repay him.

"Um……"

Bai Zhou raised his hand and ruffled the little girl's hair, then chuckled twice.

"I haven't thought of anything yet. Besides, the Great Yan is about to celebrate the New Year, and everything will be at a standstill. Once Skadi recovers from her injuries after the New Year, there will be many things I need Skadi's help with."

"Chinese New Year?"

It's something new.

The baby killer whale looked curiously at the daylight.

"It's the most important festival of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Bai Zhou didn't explain much, only saying, "The festival is coming soon, Skadi might as well experience it for herself."

"Ah."

The baby killer whale turned around, took one last look at the distant sea, and then trotted to catch up with the pace of daylight.

Why not just use the red battle mode from the beginning of level 85?

"That's right, because Skadi had nowhere to go, I brought her back to stay for a while."

After speaking, Bai Zhou picked up his teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

He started telling stories as soon as he got back, without even taking a sip of water. He's really suffering.

"Little Bai, Little Bai, what can I say about you..."

The girl hugged him from behind and shook him back and forth, feigning annoyance.

"Could you please stop bringing back foreign souvenirs every time you come back from a business trip? Last time you brought back a demon king, this time a deep-sea hunter, are you going to bring back a foreign god next time?"

"Sister, it's so pitiful that this young girl is all alone, far from home, and can't speak the language... and all that local specialties..."

Bai Zhou paused for a moment, then assured her, "I'll be more careful next time and try not to cause trouble for anyone."

"There will be a next time!"

With a shout, he bit his face, leaving a mouthful of water.

"Forget it, forget it."

After playing with Bai Zhou for a while, Nian let go of him and leaned against him helplessly, talking to him.

"Since this little girl is quite cute and well-behaved, I'll let you off this time."

I saw that little killer whale years ago. That naive and clumsy little girl was clearly no match for them, so letting her stay wouldn't be a problem.

"By the way, Sister. Skadi is a great singer, you could have her sing the theme song for your movie."

After learning what the little orca was good at, Bai Zhou had already planned out her future path.

"Since Skadi is good at singing, why don't you try being a singer?"

"A singer? But I don't sing very well..."

"How could that be? Based on my years of experience, Skadi's singing voice is among the best even in the Great Yan Dynasty. With a little management, Skadi will definitely become a famous singer in the Great Yan Dynasty in the future. You have to maintain that confidence in your area of ​​expertise."

"Furthermore, if Skadi's songs are released on albums and circulated in various countries, her distinctive voice will be immediately recognizable to her companions, and a little investigation will be all it takes to find Skadi."

"...If the old man is willing, I can give it a try."

And so, during the day, he coaxed and encouraged the little orca, preparing her to debut as an idol singer in the Great Yan Dynasty.

"...Xiao Bai, you really are the most despicable one."

Nian poked his hand with a mischievous grin.

He actually used her most vulnerable and delicate side to deceive her, making her work for free and be grateful to him. He even said that those bounty hunters were wicked, but he was no less so.

"Sister, please don't talk nonsense. I'm very serious about promoting friendly relations between our two countries and helping foreign friends."

“Agor is in dire straits, and the friendly neighbor is willing to help it find its citizens in distress. This is truly touching on an international scale.”

"For the little girl, she can not only sing to express her emotions, but also find her lost companions. It's a win-win situation."

Bai Zhou gently grasped Nian's fingers with his backhand, and then held her whole hand.

"It's just that it might take the little girl a little longer to find her missing companion."

The entire Agor region has lost contact. Even if the hunters survive, it will be difficult for them to contact the higher-ups in Agor, or rather, their superiors are unwilling to contact them.

When confused and panicked, even the slightest piece of information from their companions will make them risk their lives for them.

Deep-sea hunters are connected by blood...

Bai Zhou couldn't help but chuckle.

They're just poor kids who've been kept in the dark. They've already been abandoned, yet they're still foolishly hoping to return to their hometown.

"I bet Agor is currently celebrating the defeat of the great enemy."

"Once the New Year is over and everything has settled down, they will send someone to discuss with the Great Yan the construction of new trade routes."

In broad daylight, he raised his hand, his fingertips swirling with arcane energy. The shimmering golden light was mesmerizing.

After Alessa returned home that year, the Great Yan Dynasty established a secret trade route with Agor.

Using technology to exchange for materials.

Just as the silk and spices of the Great Yan Dynasty captivated the nations, Agor also yearned for the almost limitless possibilities of Aoneng.

However, the existence of the dragon made them abandon the idea of ​​fighting for it by force and instead join the trade with an attitude of "humility, friendliness, and wholehearted dedication to the development of their neighbors".

Now that the threat at sea has been temporarily eliminated, they will naturally not sever their trade with the Great Yan.

"But we have to give the little girl some hope."

Although they had only spent a few days together, Bai Zhou had already seen through the little orca.

That was an innocent and pure child, but what if the hope he held onto was shattered...?

Even if it's just a small favor to an old acquaintance, let's help that child live a good life in Dayan.

Moreover, it would be relatively safe for the little orca with the bloodline of the sea to stay by his side, and even if she suddenly lost control and turned into those things, he could turn her back.

How does daylight know this?

Then we have to mention the sea creature that was captured back then.

Unlimited evolutionary potential, the interconnectedness of a cluster...

Through years of research, many researchers have come to the conclusion that when these creatures live near the dragon for a long time, they will gradually evolve to resemble the dragon due to some kind of radiation or magnetic field emitted from the dragon. When they evolve to a certain extent, they will be transformed into the dragon's followers.

What's even more interesting is that, if Bai Ri (the author) so desires, he can actively interfere with the evolutionary process of others, whether by causing them to evolve, regress, or remain motionless. It's worth mentioning that the appearance of the Divine Dragon Lord is also due to this experiment.

After much discussion, researchers ultimately attributed this situation to natural selection.

Since the Divine Dragon is the embodiment of the Great Yan nature, and the Sea Child, which can optimize itself through continuous evolution, is living in the land of Great Yan, it is normal for its evolutionary form to be interfered with by the near-perfect Divine Dragon... right?

Therefore, the baby orca will be safe staying with him and won't have to worry about being killed by its own kind like its predecessors did.

With the matter of the baby killer whale temporarily settled, Bai Zhou turned to talk to Nian about his own little girl.

"Speaking of which, there's a parent-teacher conference after Xiaohuijie's final exams."

I remembered what the little girl had told them about the parent-teacher meeting a few days ago.

In the past, Wen Yue would attend all the parent-teacher conferences for the two sisters, but now that her older sister has started her own business and her younger sister is being entrusted with Bai Zhou's care, Wen Yue is a little unaccustomed to having so much free time. Recently, she has been focusing all her worries on exploiting Wei Yanwu.

"Okay, I'll go then."

I'll go see the little ones who are playing well with the little girl during the day.

"I'll prepare a big meal for you at home then."

Year's words drew surprised stares from the daytime.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Nian puffed out her pretty face and poked Bai Zhou's cheek angrily.

"Although my cooking skills are not as good as yours or the short guy's, they are still better than that idiot Xi's."

"Yes, yes, I'll leave it to you, sister."

Bai Zhou chuckled and agreed, but this "okay, okay, whatever you say" attitude displeased Nian, who then started arguing and making a scene with him.

Dinner at the Bai family home in 1986

Tonight, the Bai family's dinner table is very lively.

Because we have guests, we prepared a lot of dishes during the day tonight.

As the hosts, both Xi and Nian treated the baby orca with kindness and generosity.

After greeting the baby orca, little Huijie sat obediently in her seat and ate her meal, only glancing at the foreign friend when picking up food.

The Deepsea Hunter's iconic white fur naturally caught the little girl's attention.

It has the same hair color as Little Tower, and it looks so smooth. It must feel really nice to touch... It must feel even better than Swire's stupid tail.

Her eyes are so beautiful... but she looks a little dull, like she's not very smart.

"Eat more meat, Skadi. Don't be so reserved, just make yourself at home and eat whatever you want."

During the day, he greeted the little girl and picked up a feathered leg, placing it in her bowl.

"Thank you, sir."

The baby killer whale quietly thanked him and then silently ate the white rice in its bowl.

"Hehe, Xiaobai, don't always speak such official jargon. No one will feel at ease if they hear that."
