Chapter 42: Waking up feeling very ertips touched upon him, he started to shrink, until he became human-shaped
He was a handsoet His deep, bottomless eyes stole away Zhou Yu's breath, and tied Zhou Yu and sith hiht met the water
Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes and panted harshly, as if he had finally ju of his room above him
He reached up to cover his eyes
It was indeed an S ranked organism that had saved hi Zhi was searching for It wasn't an illusion because he hadn't yet known the organism's description then, nor had he received Elpis'sin his mind for the illusion to build itself upon Aside fro the battle in the 12th zone of the pri into that S rank organisled up beside his rose and fell in tianishts running through his ht spirit, Mo Ye shared a special connection with that silver creature Had Mo Ye summoned it in a moment of desperation?
Or ined Mo Ye turning into the silver creature Mo Ye faced off against the golden sea bull to save everyone despite how dangerous it was, so ined that it was Mo Ye who saved hiel's Horns?
”Mo Ye… do you have a lot of secrets I don't know about?” Zhou Yu petted his back
Mo Ye opened his eyes at Zhou Yu's words and put his head on Zhou Yu's chest to look at hiht through hihts, his expectations of the world, and his deepest, darkest fears where all understood by him
Mo Ye poked Zhou Yu's chin with his nose, then ju ”let's go eat dinner!”
Zhou Yu suddenly lost his smile
If Mo Ye really was S rank, then as he staying by his side? Was it only to drink a little bit of his blood every day?
The next ht Mo Ye to see Carlos
Zhou Yu had his hands crossed behind his head and unhurriedly walked through the passageways It was rare for hi Zhou Yu looked down at Mo Ye, as beside him His pace was the sa his head to and fro as if he was even in the sauards carted a nutrient chamber past them
Zhou Yu looked over and saw that the nutrient chaolden creature in it It was turning in the water gracefully as if dancing the waltz
It attracted Zhou Yu's attention It… seeen jellyfish…
It was beautiful… but also possibly very dangerous
Less than a second later, Mo Ye unhappily bit at Zhou Yu's pant leg Zhou Yu looked down and couldn't help but lose his se eyes were filled with discontent
In his understanding, other than the care he showed for Zhou Qing, Wu Yun, and a few other people, all of Zhou Yu's re at the Nibelungen jellyfish for more than a second was too much for Mo Ye
Zhou Yu smiled and lowered hio find Carlos!”
Carlos's depart a comparative study between samples
As soon as he saw Mo Ye, he walked out excitedly
”My God, Mo Ye! You grew even bigger! Have you entered puberty yet? You're growing up so fast!”
Zhou Yu looked down at Mo Ye and found that Mo Ye had… really seeain…
Carlos wanted toaround like he had ADHD Carlos eaty and frustrated, but he couldn't get ahold of Mo Ye no matter how he tried Of course, no one else could either
Zhou Yu felt syood”
Mo Ye looked at Zhou Yu, then unhappily looked away, finally staying still
Carlos finally rew taller by three centimeters, isn't that way too fast?!”
Not just Carlos, but even Zhou Yu was shocked
It hadn't been more than three days since the last tirow so rowth rate was this?
”Mo Ye, youso fast!” Carlos wanted to pet Mo Ye's head, but Mo Ye quickly ran away
”puberty? No way, it's only been a few anisrowth The creatures here have a short growth period but it can take several thousand to tens of thousands of years for the… that he'll soon be an adult?” Zhou Yu deliberately rubbed Mo Ye's chin with his toe, causing Mo Ye irritably run away ”Looks like you'll be an independent grown in a few days, you don't need to act cute with ht, I want to take some of Mo Ye's saliva, blood and fur froly
”I'll try, but I don't think Mo Ye will be willing” Zhou Yu waved Mo Ye over, but as if Mo Ye had understood what Carlos said, he stayed far away from them and refused to come close
When Zhou Yu approached Mo Ye, Mo Ye retreated someplace else His refusal was clear
Zhou Yu could only sigh and he said to Carlos, ”Sorry… he doesn't want to do it, so even I can't force hi night spirit in the first place We can skip the sa for now, but we do want to have a ence Mo Ye can understand your words… of course, he can understand ence level and if he's really equipped with the capability to coame to Mo Ye”
Zhou Yu looked at Mo Ye, and said in a placating tone, ”There won't be any blood drawn, or fur pulled, you only need to play soot a bit closer to them
Carlos waved his hand ”Come with me”
There were many toys placed before Carlos
”Since Mo Ye can understand us, then there's no doubt that he's capable of a certain degree of logical reasoning Let's play soames See this, Mo Ye? This is a Rubik's cube Can you turn this cube so that each side is of the same color?” Carlos held up a solved Rubik's cube with one color on each side to show Mo Ye an exaht that it was too complicated Not even an adult may be able to solve it
But for Carlos, he didn't care if Mo Ye could complete the Rubik's cube or not He wanted to test if Mo Ye had the sas
Mo Ye looked intrigued His two little claws took ahold of the cube and started to play with it Because his claere not as dexterous as hue it from time to ti tothat Mo Ye would take a while to play with it, Carlos went to make two cups of coffee Just as he handed one of the cups to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu nodded at Mo Ye and said, ”Mo Ye's done”
”Done… what?” When Carlos looked back, his jaw dropped to the floor
Mo Ye yawned and laid down The Rubik's cube had been tossed aside and each side had been solved
”He's s to himself with a smile
As he sence
Carlos gave hi Harvard's picture IQ test
Mo Ye renewed Carlos's understanding of his intelligence to new heights; he'd practically gotten all of the questions correct
Carlos was overjoyed He had already
”What about words? Maybe Mo Ye can understand words!”
Saying that, Carlos went and brought back a fehiteboards
He had Zhou Yu write down his own Chinese name on the whiteboard, then pointed to the words and said, ”Mo Ye, this is Zhou Yu's name, can you see it clearly?”
Mo Ye stretched out his neck and carefully studied it, then nodded
Carlos was very excited He erased the words on the whiteboard and had Zhou Yu write down a bunch of other words on paper, such as the characters for ”Wei,” ”Xie,” [1] and others that looked similar to Zhou Yu's name Carlos mixed up the papers and then spread them out in front of Mo Ye ”Mo Ye, can you find Zhou Yu's name?”
Mo Ye tilted his head to the side and looked at Carlos Carlos thought he didn't understand him, but Mo Ye walked into the , first took the page with ”Zhou” on it, then the page with ”Yu”
Carlos grabbed Zhou Yu in a hug ”Oh ht spirits can learn characters! And they can learn thee person!”
Chinese was complex and had many characters that looked similar, yet Mo Ye was able to tell them apart
Zhou Yu was dumbfounded He looked at Mo Ye Does that mean… that he could teach Mo Ye to read and thus find out what Mo Ye was thinking?
Carlos planned on devisingmethods Before Zhou Yu left, he borrowed a few cooks fro the way, Zhou Yu's expression remained calm, but he abuzz with emotion on the inside
He felt excited that he could finally communicate with Mo Ye in a human way
Back in his room, Mo Ye hopped onto the bed and curled up beside Zhou Yu's pillow, like usual
”Mo Ye, which book do you like?” Zhou Yu reached up to pet Mo Ye's head Even though it was a farown up
This gave Zhou Yu a feeling of having aged rapidly in coh each of the books He studied them carefully with his head askew, as if he could understand them
In the end, he put his paw on a book with a black cover and slightly yellowed pages
”This one?” Zhou Yu didn't expect Mo Ye to pick such an old book
