A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 125 Communicating with Whale Sharks

For a whale shark of such a large size, even if a small fishhook gets caught in its flesh, it won't feel anything.

It was only when Yun Jiao pulled on the fishing rod that it felt itself rise to the surface with that force.

The whale shark obediently opened its mouth.

Those mouths are really big.

When it opened its mouth, Yun Jiao clearly felt a suction force, so she quickly swam to the underside of the whale shark's belly.

It swam back after it had fully opened up.

On the other side, Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe, who were getting close, saw Yun Jiao go into the mouth of the whale shark and gasped in shock, their vision going black.

"Beautiful!"

If that big fish accidentally closes its mouth and swallows a bite, that would be terrible!

Yun Jiao crawled into the whale shark's mouth to remove the fishing hook, but then suddenly heard this loud voice. She crawled out again, turned her head, and looked at the two elders with innocent and bewildered eyes.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Yun Linhai took a deep breath: "What's wrong? Do you even know what's going on with this fish? Why did it swim in like that!"

The two approached, watching the giant whale shark with great vigilance.

Wow... It's huge, much bigger than an orca.

"It only eats very small fish and shrimp, and its teeth are extremely small."

As Yun Jiao spoke, she directly pried open the whale shark's mouth to show the two of them, proving that she was telling the truth.

Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe went over to take a look, and found that this big guy's teeth were indeed very small.

But this big mouth.

"It can swallow you whole."

That mouth is big enough to fit an adult.

Yun Jiao threw away the fishing hook and shouted to Fu Mingyu on the shore, "Fu Mingyu, reel in the fishing line."

Her voice wasn't loud enough; it wasn't until Yun Linhai shouted that Fu Mingyu started to reel in the fishing line.

After the initial wariness and fear, I discovered that this whale shark was actually quite docile.

Even orcas dared not get too close, but the whale shark circled the Yunlin Sea and Yunlin River, excited.

"Hey, we should get Xiao Fu's camera so we can take pictures of this big guy."

This photo looks so impressive!

Yunlinhe: "No, can that camera go underwater?"

His eyes lit up: "Jiaojiao, can you tell it not to leave yet? I'll go and fetch Xiao Fu by boat so he can see it up close too."

Yun Jiao nodded: "Sure."

After his uncle left, Yun Linhai was worried about staying there any longer.

Yun Jiao played with the whale shark.

She tried to communicate with the whale shark.

Do you have a name? Do you belong to any ethnic group?

How old are you?

"Why did it eat my fishhook?"

Most of the whale sharks in question said they didn't know.

Fish have no names, whale sharks are solitary creatures without groups, and they don't even know how old they are.

After all, fish don't keep track of time.

As for eating the fishhook, that was purely coincidental.

Yun Jiao's fishing hook landed right near a small school of fish, but it was she who drove the fish there.

Whale sharks hunt by opening their mouths wide and sucking in small fish, shrimp, and plankton all at once.

Yun Jiao's fishhook was also sucked in.

After obtaining the whale shark's permission, Yun Jiao climbed onto its back.

That back is really broad, especially the head area.

Unlike killer whales, whale sharks have mostly flat bodies with a very broad back.

Yun Jiao could practically roll around on it once she climbed up.

This whale shark is an adult, estimated to be over ten meters long.

While Yun Jiao was having fun, Yun Linhe also brought Fu Mingyu over by boat.

"Xiao Fu, do you want to go down and have some fun? This big fish really doesn't bite."

Fu Mingyu took several photos of the whale shark and Yun Jiao on its back as soon as he came over.

It was spectacular. This was the second time he had seen such a large fish; the first time, of course, was with the orcas that Yun Jiao had brought earlier.

The shock he experienced that time was unparalleled, even surpassing that of the whale shark that is now larger than an orca.

Having grown up inland, his first trip to the seaside, though... a bit thrilling, allowed him to witness a vast world he hadn't seen in seven years.
Hearing Yunlinhe's words, he shook his head: "I can't swim."

Yun Jiao: "It's okay if you can't swim, I'll let it carry you."

Finally, encouraged by his two elders and Yun Jiao, Fu Mingyu decided to give it a try.

He can't swim, so he was carried there by the Yunlin River and Yunlin Sea.

They're quite bold; they weren't too afraid of whale sharks.

Whale sharks are so big that two children could roll around on their backs without any problem.

Yun Jiao stroked the whale shark's head: "I'll shuck oysters for you later."

With such a big mouth, you'd have to open a lot of oysters at once to let it taste the flavor.

But since they've already played along, they should at least get something in return.

Once on the whale shark's back, even he, who was usually expressionless, became somewhat excited.

Especially his eyes, which showed obvious joy.

The corners of her mouth also turned up in a noticeable arc.

Of course, compared to the rich and varied expressions on Yun Jiao's face, his expressions were still pitifully few.

"Fu Mingyu, you smiled."

Fu Mingyu touched the corner of his mouth.

"Ah."

He could feel that he was very happy.

So this is what happiness feels like.

Yunlinhe returned to the boat and snapped photos of them with his camera.

The whale shark carried the two people slowly across the surface of the sea, and Yunlinhai followed by rocking his boat.

"Wa hahaha……"

"Once my brothers find out, they'll definitely keep pestering Father and Uncle to let us go to sea."

"Fu Mingyu, once your photos are developed, remember to send us a copy. I'll pay for it."

Fu Mingyu was a man of few words, so you could only hear Yun Jiao chattering away.

"Need not."

Fu Mingyu said, "No need to buy it."

He was very happy today; it was the happiest he had ever been in his life.

The vast blue sea, with the silhouette of a giant whale shark clearly visible, and two calves on its back, each beautiful in their own way, set against the backdrop of the azure sky and distant seabirds, this scene was captured in a photograph.

After they had played enough, Fu Mingyu was carried back to the boat, while Yun Jiao swam up and down around the whale shark in the sea, looking just like a beautiful sea sprite playing with the whale shark.

"Dad, please open more oysters."

"understood."

Oysters are naturally used to feed whale sharks.

There are still plenty of oysters on that island; they can feed these to the fish and then go back to pluck them.

"Look carefully, see if there are any pearls."

As soon as Yun Jiao finished speaking, a surprised voice came from the direction of Yun Linhe.

“A pearl, I’ve found a pearl.”

Following that, Yunlinhai also opened a place with pearls.

There was no movement from Fu Mingyu's side.

He didn't say anything, he just helped shuck the oysters.

But he's still not very strong, and it's very difficult for him to open oysters.

"I am coming too."

After playing in the sea for a while, Yun Jiao returned to the boat to help shuck oysters.

The inspected oyster meat was placed in a bucket.

Yun Jiao's first oyster didn't have a pearl, but the second one came with a big, round pearl.

Those larger than 8mm also have a much better color than other oyster pearls.

"Father, Uncle, I got a big one."

Fu Mingyu: Life is meaningless.jpg
It's confirmed, he's really unlucky, he's being targeted!
