The Crown Princess is busy fishing

The crew skillfully maneuvered the trawl net.

The heavy trawl net slowly sank into the seawater, creating ripples.

In no time, the trawl net was full of fish.

As the winch rotates, the mesh opening gradually tightens.

The fish darted around in panic in the net, splashing water everywhere.

Without stopping, the crew nervously hauled in two nets of fish.

The fish hold was gradually filling up.

But everyone's heart was in their throat.

The sea breeze howled, as if adding fuel to the tense atmosphere.

Lin Yuge kept her eyes fixed on the sea, not missing a single ripple.

"Everyone, move faster! Get ready to set sail!"

Her voice was carried away by the sea breeze, but the crew could hear it clearly.

Wang Shunfeng directed the operation from the bow, carefully gathering the last net of fish.

However, their worst fears came true.

From the lookout tower, Qiu Dalang shouted urgently:

"Fisherman's Song, there are unidentified vessels appearing to our right rear; they are accelerating towards us!"

Lin Yuge's heart sank. She knew that the pirates had most likely discovered them.

"Quickly, adjust the sails and go full speed ahead!"

She shouted as she rushed toward the helm.

The others acted quickly.

Some people tightened the ropes, while others adjusted the angle of the sails.

The "Rebirth" sped across the sea like an arrow released from a bow.

But the unidentified ships behind them were also moving quite fast.

Always following from a distance.

The black pirate flag at the bow of the ship could be faintly seen fluttering in the wind.

However, the "Rebirth" is indeed quite powerful.

It was like a nimble sea beast in the waves, riding the wind and waves, and never let the pirate ship get close.

The intense chase lasted for quite some time.

Every second seemed to stretch out, the tense atmosphere almost freezing the air.

The crew members each performed their duties, with large beads of sweat constantly rolling down their foreheads, but none of them dared to slack off in the slightest.

After an unknown amount of time, they came to see the sea area surrounding the South China Sea Prefecture.

The familiar outline of the sea appeared before everyone's eyes like a ray of hope.

The pirate ships reluctantly gave up.

Start slowing down and turning gently.

I could faintly hear people cursing on the boat.

"We can't go any further. We're too close to the King of Hell. We might not be able to come back."

The voice was filled with resentment and fear.

After drifting on the sea for a while, it was gradually blown away by the sea breeze.

The crew of the "Rebirth" watched the pirate ship depart in the direction it had gone, and only then did their tense nerves relax.

Wang Shunfeng plopped down on the deck and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Goodness, we finally shook them off. That was a close call."

Lin Yuge's tense body finally relaxed a little.

She looked in the direction the pirate ships had gone, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"This 'King of Hell' seems to be referring to Xiao Yunqing!"

"Is he that powerful at sea? He can even scare away these vicious pirates."

Lin Qingzhou walked to her side, panting, and said, "Little sister, no matter who it is."

"We really owe him a lot this time, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."

The other crew members echoed this sentiment.

The joy of surviving the ordeal spread across the ship.

Everyone quickly composed themselves.

The ship slowly sailed towards the mouth of the bay, and the familiar outline of the land gradually became clear.

Lin Yuge gazed at the approaching harbor, her eyes sparkling with relief and emotion.

This overseas trip was truly a mix of risks and opportunities.

Fortunately, it ended without any serious harm.

Finally, the "Rebirth" slowly docked.

Merchants and pedestrians on the dock looked curiously at the unfamiliar large ship.

The crew carried baskets of fish out of the cabin, leaving only the last giant grouper lying on the ice pile.

Lin Yuge did not rush to have everyone move the items downstairs.

Instead, he sent Shunzi, who was the fastest runner, to Tingtao Tower to inform Lu Ziheng first.

Not long after, Lu Ziheng arrived with a group of people.

He quickly boarded the boat.

Looking at the various groupers and sea bream that are rarely seen, the baskets were piled up like small mountains.

And then there are those shrimp and crab generals who still won't behave even when their pincers are tied.

A bright smile spread across Lu Ziheng's face, and even the fan he always carried fell to the ground.

He was completely unaware of it.

"Little Sister Lin, where did you go fishing?"

"I can't believe I managed to snag so much good stuff!"

As Lu Ziheng spoke, he weaved between the fish baskets, his eyes filled with amazement.

"This time we ventured to the southern Jiaozhi Ocean, where fish are abundant."

But it was fraught with danger, and they almost didn't make it back.

As Lin Yuge spoke, a barely perceptible hint of lingering fear flashed in her eyes.

"And that's not even the most amazing one, look at this."

Lin Yuge led Lu Ziheng and the others deeper into the cabin.

We arrived at the giant grouper.

The moment Lu Ziheng saw the dragon, he gasped in shock.

"Little Sister Lin, you've brought back the ancestor of all fish!"

He stared wide-eyed and circled the giant grouper several times.

His face was full of disbelief.

"This fish is so huge, it must have lived for many years. Its flesh must be firm and delicious."

"Of course, we went through a lot of trouble to catch it."

"If it weren't for the black girl, we might not have been able to get her out!"

Lin Yuge still feels lingering fear when recalling the harrowing scene.

Uncle Qian exclaimed excitedly, "If this were made into a dish, it would be an absolute delicacy!"

Mr. Liu, who followed along, was so excited that his face turned bright red.

We've already started planning what to do with this fish.

"Boss, we can put on a grouper feast. We can present different parts of the grouper using different cooking methods."

"Yes, that's what we'll do."

"Once this news gets out, Tingtao Tower will become a legend in the entire South China Sea Prefecture," Lu Ziheng immediately replied.

He looked dazed, as if he could already see the scene of diners flocking in.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yuge.

He said eagerly, "Little Sister Lin, let's go quickly and talk about the price of these fish."

Lin Yuge quickly stopped him.

"Brother Lu, besides this giant grouper, you probably don't need that many other fish at Tingtao Tower!"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have more than just Tingtao Tower as a business now."

Lu Ziheng smiled confidently.

"Didn't Yunqing ask me to prepare for ice making? So I took the opportunity to partner with Aunt Xie to open a seafood shop."

He seemed rather proud of himself when he talked about it.

"This trading company specializes in seafood. With the method of making ice, they can keep their goods fresh without worry."

The fish we buy from here can be transported to farther places for sale, and we can get a higher price for them.

"Brother Lu, you've really got a clever plan! But how is my mother involved here?"

Lin Yuge looked at Lu Ziheng with a puzzled expression.

Lu Ziheng laughed heartily:

"This idea was first proposed by Aunt Xie."

I simply followed her line of thought and worked together to get this done.

Alright, let's not talk about that now. Let's quickly tell you the price of this fish.

I need to have someone take good care of the fish, especially this grouper; it needs to be handled properly.

Lu Ziheng spoke as he walked out of the fish hold.

The group went up to the deck.

Qian Bo went to weigh the items, while Lin Qingzhou and Wang Shunfeng went to weigh them.

Lin Yuge asked Qianxia to go with him to keep accounts.
