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

Chapter 126 The More You Eat, the Stronger You Are
Fu Mingyu thought of his own home.

Yes, he was indeed very unlucky.

If he were lucky, how could he have been so unlucky as to have such a scumbag father, a vicious stepmother, and a stepbrother?
If she were lucky, she wouldn't have been kidnapped while going to school, brought to such a far place, and precisely chosen from among so many children to be a hostage to threaten the Navy.

If it weren't for Yun Jiao, he might really be dead.

Thinking of this, Fu Mingyu glanced at Yun Jiao.

Perhaps he does have his lucky moments.

After opening a small bucket of oysters, Yun Jiao had twelve pearls.

Most of them are irregularly shaped and small in size. Only three are relatively round and glossy, all of which are milky white and over 8mm in diameter.

Aside from these three, which might fetch a decent price, the others are unlikely to sell.

Five pearls were found in Yunlin Sea, only one of which was larger than 8mm. Three pearls were found in Yunlin River, one of which was of relatively good quality, but a bit small.

They probably opened about fifty oysters to get this much meat and pearls, so the proportion of oysters with pearls is quite good.

I wonder how many years these oysters on the island have been growing.

As for Fu Mingyu... never mind, I won't say anything more.

Shutting oysters is hard work, and Fu Mingyu, with his small frame and limited strength, could only shudder after a few before giving up. He didn't get a single pearl, so he just gave up.

He had a good attitude; he didn't complain or get angry, but instead took his camera and took pictures everywhere.

"All right."

Yun Jiao clapped her hands, looking at the oyster meat with satisfaction. This should be enough for the whale shark to have a taste.

It's impossible to feed a whale shark. It's so big that they would have to work all day just to shuck oysters to feed it.

But Yun Jiao wasn't about to be taken advantage of.

She summoned a whale shark.

The whale shark slowly circled their boat twice, and Yun Jiao threw the bucket a little further out to sea.

The whale shark swam over and opened its mouth wide beneath the oysters, taking a deep, forceful suck.

Its huge mouth sucked everything around it into its mouth.

Their boats weren't too far apart, but they were all affected and rocked violently several times, being pulled a distance in that direction.

Watching whale sharks eat at such close range is quite thrilling.

'Delicious, I like it~'

Whale sharks naturally eat small fish and shrimp. Oyster meat has no bones and tastes delicious. This is the first time it has ever eaten such a thing, and it immediately expressed its feelings to Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao was satisfied; she was happy with it.

"I'll find you to play again next time."

It was getting late, so after saying goodbye to the whale sharks, they had to hurry back to the island to shuck oysters.

This time, Yun Jiao wasn't thinking about fishing; she just grabbed a shovel and got to work.

She's strong and quick at prying oysters open.

At first, Fu Mingyu thought that Yun Jiao was strong, but as a boy, he couldn't be outdone, so he swung his arms and put all his strength into it.

But later on, his face went blank and his eyes went numb.

What's the point of comparing? He deserves to die; he has absolutely no awareness of his own abilities!

I'm so tired, my arms are so sore, I can't lift them anymore.

Life is meaningless.jpg
Fu Mingyu's expression is quite vivid.

"Hahaha... Xiao Fu, this won't do, it's too weak."

Fu Mingyu pursed her lips.

Although he was still a child, he felt resentful.

Yun Linhai laughed and said, "Go back and eat more to grow taller. You're too thin. Look at my Jiaojiao, she eats two big bowls of food in one meal, and she's still so small. She'll eat even more when she's older."

Yun Jiao proudly puffed out her chest; yes, she ate a lot!

Fu Mingyu murmured, "Does eating more make you stronger?"

Okay, he got it.

After three consecutive trips carrying oysters, it was getting late and they had to head back.

Today's harvest was also quite good.

On the way back, the orcas, which we hadn't seen all day, finally arrived.

At that time, Yun Jiao was sitting barefoot at the stern of the boat singing.

This was the first time Fu Mingyu had heard such a song. It had no lyrics, yet it was so beautiful it was breathtaking and sent shivers down his spine. Yun Jiao's voice was already beautiful enough, but he never expected it to be even more beautiful when she sang.

It was an auditory feast!
“Woooooo~~~”

As the sun set, the distant calls of orcas echoed in response.

Yun Jiao's singing and the orca's cry intertwined, creating a sound like a harmonious melody.

The little girl sitting at the stern saw the orca swimming towards them, and a smile appeared on her delicate and pretty face.

That smile was clean and pure, so beautiful it was almost mesmerizing.

Fu Mingyu discovered that he really enjoyed watching Yun Jiao smile.

Because of her smile, he also felt that feeling called happiness.

"Father, I'm going to play with the orca."

"Go on, go on, don't go to the bottom of the sea, let's go home."

Yun Jiao replied in a clear, crisp voice, "I understand."

After saying that, she jumped into the sea.

In the clear, azure sea, a little girl swam happily.

"Fu Mingyu, do you want to play with the orca?"

Fu Mingyu shook his head: "I'll come find you again after I learn to swim."

"Great! Not only will you learn to swim, but you'll also learn to scuba dive. Then I'll take you to see the ocean depths with the orca. The ocean is incredibly beautiful, with fish, shrimp, giant crabs, and coral of all colors..."

She stopped talking to Fu Mingyu when the orca got close.

"Let's go~"

Riding an orca, Yun Jiao raced through the sea, displaying an arrogant attitude that she feared no one and would fight anyone who dared to cause trouble.

But such frivolity is not annoying; on the contrary, it is quite vibrant.

Fu Mingyu remained silent, only taking photos.

On this trip, he used up all the film he brought for his camera.

As they approached the shore, Yun Jiao fed the orcas some oysters—not many, just one or two pieces of oyster meat to each orca.

Goodbye, see you guys again next time!

Once on the boat, Yun Linhai skillfully wrapped her in a towel.

"We're almost at the dock. Jiaojiao, you and Xiao Fu go back first."

Yun Jiao nodded as she drank her water: "Oysters are not for sale."

She emphasized.

"Okay, okay... I won't sell it."

Oysters contain pearls, and these pearls are worth much more than the oysters themselves.

Once the ship docked at the pier, Yun Jiao and Fu Mingyu left, and their ship was quickly surrounded.

Awang walked forward with a cheerful smile, and the others were also curious about what good stuff his family had today.

First, move the fish out of Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe.

Those big fish were so enviable.

Ah Wang beamed with joy; he knew it all—his cousin's shipping business was the best!
There weren't many fish today, and they weren't particularly rare compared to what Yun Jiao had gotten from Haidilao before.

Finally, there was a whole boatload of oysters.

"You've discovered a oyster colony?"

Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe laughed and joked.

"Brother, these oysters of yours..."

Yun Linhe quickly replied, "We don't sell oysters."

"We'll keep it for ourselves."

"There's so much! Can your family finish it all?"

Yunlinhe: "There are many people in my family. We can't finish them all, so we dry them into dried oysters. Adding some to our cooking makes them taste better."

Yunwang nodded. Oysters weren't anything special; people often encountered them while beachcombing around here, just not in such large quantities.

Um... it's not that big or that fat.

It's past the peak season for oysters, and these oysters look about the same as those from the peak season.
