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

Chapter 74 I must have been a fish in my past life
Shen Yunlian and the others also found Yun Jiao's reaction strange.

But it's better if it doesn't hurt.

"By the way, Jiaojiao, your sea turtle ran away when you took it out to sea the day you left. We've been waiting for it for a long time, but it hasn't come back."

Fearing that Yun Jiao would be sad, Yun Linhe quickly said, "Let's go look again tomorrow."

Yun Jiao shook her head: "It's alright, so be it."

The sea turtle guessed that since she wasn't home, she had gone out to sea and didn't want to come back.

Seeing that she was neither angry nor sad, Yun Linhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of her foot injury, she hardly touched the ground afterwards, as she was either being held by one person or another.

After lunch, the five Yun brothers eagerly circled around Grandma Yun.

"Grandma, we can still eat."

"Yes, Grandma, let's cut a watermelon. It's so hot now, it's the perfect time to eat watermelon."

"Grandma, my little sister is injured and needs to be properly nourished."

Yun Jiao: …………

Can she eat watermelon to heal her injured foot?

But that doesn't stop her from wanting to eat.

In the end, Grandma Yun couldn't resist her grandsons' persistent pestering and cut a watermelon.

We naturally chose the smallest one, but it was enough for the whole family.

Everyone sat in a row in the courtyard. After getting used to their surroundings, the little furballs that had been released ran over to Yun Jiao's side.

He nestled at her feet, pecking at the scraps of watermelon she had thrown down.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Jiao took a nap.

In the afternoon, when the tide went out, Shen Yunlian and her friends went to the beach again.

Yun Jiao: "I want to go, Mother, I want to go."

"Your feet..."

"My brother carries me on his back, I won't run around."

Yun Xiaowu patted his chest and said, "Leave your little sister to me!"

Yun Xiaoliu chimed in, "I can protect my sister too."

"And us."

Seeing this scene of brotherly affection and respect, Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei were both satisfied.

Yun Jiao insisted on going, and since her feet were fine even after soaking in salt water, seawater shouldn't be a problem either.

So, feeling pampered, Yun Jiao happily followed her fifth brother to the mudflats, clinging to his back.

After the tide receded, the mudflats were left with the unfortunate seafood that hadn't had a chance to escape.

Shen Yunlian and the others were busy searching for shellfish, snails, and crabs hidden under the sand, as well as looking for unlucky creatures in puddles and crevices among the rocks, so they didn't have much time to pay attention to Yun Jiao and the others.

"Brother, let's go to the beach."

Yun Xiaowu knew that she liked to run into the sea, but the seaside was dangerous. Even if you can swim, a sudden wave can easily sweep you away.

"No, you want to go to the sea again. Your father and the others said your feet can't touch the seawater."

Yun Jiao panicked: "No, no, what Father and the others say doesn't count."

"I know myself well; my wounds heal faster in the sea."

"How could that be? Was it a shipwreck or some kind of drug?"

Yun Jiao: "That's how it is for me."

"Brother, brother, brother..."

Although Yun Jiao's voice is pleasant, she can't stand being called "brother" all the time.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, but let's make it clear first, we can't go to places deep in the sea."

Yun Jiao's eyes lit up: "Okay, next time I'll let my brother ride an orca with me to play in the sea."

Now it was Yun Xiaowu's turn to have his eyes light up.

When they arrived at the beach, Yun Jiao asked him to put her in a slightly deeper part of the sea.

Then my whole body was submerged in seawater.

Yun Jiao immediately felt as if every pore on her body had opened up, and her previously sore arms and stinging feet felt much better.

She was like a fish, feeling incredibly comfortable the moment she touched the seawater.

“Brother, I told you so, I’d be even better off in the sea.”

"I must have been a fish in my past life, and a really, really beautiful one at that!"

She was telling the truth.

Seeing how carefree she looked in the sea, Yun Xiaowu felt that Jiaojiao was probably right.

Yun Jiao continued to dive into the sea.

It was getting dark, but even in the deeper parts of the ocean, her vision remained unaffected. Since she was already there...

Yun Jiao swam at a height of less than half a meter from the seabed, her dark hair spreading out like seaweed and mist, making her skin appear even whiter, like a little sea sprite.

She saw a small bulge on the seabed and went over to pry it open with her hand, finding a rather large cat's eye snail.

Take down.

I found a little octopus.

Take down.

Orchid crab.

Take down.

"Jiaojiao..."

As Yun Jiao happily harvested her prey on the seabed, she faintly heard calls coming from the surface of the sea.

She glanced at what she was holding; she could barely hold it anymore.

So they swam up with it.

"Jiaojiao, where are you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar head popped up not far ahead.

Yun Xiaowu and the others immediately swam over.

Yun Jiao: "Brother, come quick, I can't hold on much longer!"

They were all stunned when they saw what Yun Jiao was holding.

No, she found so many things in such a short time?

Looking at the crab and octopus that were obediently still in Yun Jiao's arms, Yun Xiaowu and the others wondered if they were dead, otherwise why would they be so well-behaved?

But they soon discovered that those things were moving and were alive.

Especially after they took it over, they moved even more violently.

"Hiss... Jiaojiao, where did you find these things?!"

Yun Jiao: "The seabed."

"It's so dark now, you can't even see anything on the seabed, yet you were able to spot them."

I quickly swam ashore with these things and threw them into the bucket.

It was now almost completely dark.

"Hurry back, Mother is probably looking for us."

They brought Yun Jiao here secretly.

Yun Xiaowu squatted down and picked up Yun Jiao, who looked like a little fish, and carried her on his back.

When they got to the mudflats, they heard Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei calling them.

"We're here, we've arrived."

I got back in time, but I still got a beating.

Yun Xiaowu and the others' ears were twisted until they turned red.

"You guys are really brave! You actually dared to take Yun Jiao to the sea. Do you know how dangerous that is!"

They were soaking wet, so they couldn't even try to deny it.

In the end, he could only obediently accept the scolding.

Yun Jiao also stood in a row with her brothers, facing the wall in repentance.

But because of her feet, she ended up sitting instead.

Behind him, adults stood glaring angrily, holding sticks.

"You all stand still and come back when you realize your mistake."

Yun Jiao immediately said, "We know we were wrong."

Yun Xiaowu and the others nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Father and Mother, we have deeply realized our mistakes."

Yun Linhe's voice was low and somber: "But you'll dare to do it again next time, won't you?"

Yun Jiao's eyes darted around, slightly guilty.

Shen Yunlian: "Go write some words for me!"

Since this punishment is ineffective, let's try something harsher.

"Just write your names down. Write five homework pages for me. I'll check them after you're done. It's not over until they're satisfactory."

Yun Xiaowu: "No! We really know we were wrong!"

But nothing I say will make a difference.

The last few children were gathered around a table, and even Yun Jiao had a thin notebook in her hand.

She held a pencil that was only as long as her fingers in her small hands, her brows furrowed, and with great difficulty, she managed to write her name in crooked and awkward strokes.
