It was some time before Jiang Yu saw Lanny again. She was surprised that she hadn't seen him for so long, but later learned that he had been going to sea frequently and had acquired a lot of treasures.

Pearl divers are very superstitious, and Lanny probably wanted to take advantage of good luck to go out to sea more often and find more treasures.

But when they met, Lenny gave her a big gift.

"What is this?" Jiang Yu took the parchment scroll handed to him by Lanny, opened it to see the contents, and found that it was a map.

"This is a map of the sea areas I've compiled. I actually started this work a long time ago. I've spent many years recording and organizing the sea areas where I've collected treasures and discovered some patterns, but some are still very vague. So recently I wanted to go back to those sea areas to see if there are any special features. So this is only a semi-finished product."

Lanny stood diagonally behind Jiang Yu. He hadn't seen Jiang Yu for a long time, and his gaze unconsciously carried a hint of directness and excitement.

Jiang Yu wore a sky-blue dress today, with a string of white pearls around her neck. Her long, black, wavy hair was styled into a unique bun and secured at the back of her head with pearl hair clips. A few playful curls fell around her ears and forehead, making her look elegant and languid.

Lanny stared at Jiang Yu's back with almost obsessive eyes. He rarely looked directly at Jiang Yu in front of others, and there were few opportunities like this when no one else was around, so he could look at his beloved with complete confidence.

Jiang Yu looked at the contents of the parchment scroll and found that the records were very detailed.

The records clearly documented what treasures each sea area had produced, the seabed topography, and the environment in which the treasures grew. However, there were also some words that looked like names marked next to some sea areas. Jiang Yu didn't understand them, so he turned around, pointed to those words, and asked Lanny.

Lanny was startled by Jiang Yu's sudden turn, afraid that her direct gaze would be noticed and cause Jiang Yu to dislike her. However, she found that the other party did not look up at all. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction Jiang Yu was pointing before explaining:

"I don't know if you've heard the legends of sea monsters in particularly dangerous waters, but in reality, many of them are not just legends. There are very large fish, strange-looking creatures that don't seem to live in the sea, and giant plants that can hunt with agility. These have all been encountered by many people and are well documented."

Lanny took a small step forward and pointed to the parchment scroll with his finger: "You see, these black names are the names of the sea monsters that have been identified. Some say they are guardians of treasures, while others say the seas where they exist are their territory. And these red names are those that have not yet been identified."

"Not confirmed? What does that mean?" Jiang Yu noticed that many names were written with numbers next to them.

"Many sea monsters exist in legends throughout history, and some people claim to have seen them, but there is no consensus. Some people say they look like this, and some people say they look like that, so it is uncertain whether they really exist."

"I marked it because people often die in this sea area. These numbers are the recorded number of people who have died in this sea area. As for whether it is related to these sea monsters, we don't know."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Yu nodded, then suddenly noticed a name marked in dark red in the corner of the map.

"Morinbia? What's this? Why is there an 'X' marked on it?"

“This is a forbidden zone. This area has been a forbidden zone for us pearl divers for a long time. It is said that all those who went there before died, and those who managed to return were all delirious, only muttering the name Morinka. Morinka is the legendary sea monster of this area,” Lanny explained.

"No one has been there for many generations, so it seems this will remain a permanent mystery."

“Yes,” Jiang Yu nodded in agreement, “It’s better to never solve this kind of mystery.” Otherwise, how many lives will be lost?

Then she remembered something, looked up at Lanny, and said, "You said you've been going to sea a lot lately to confirm the contents of this map?"

“That’s true.” Lanny scratched his head, a little shyly. “Those seas do have a high chance of yielding treasures. I’ve only been there a few times, but I’ve already acquired a few decent items. If you’re interested, Lord, you can take a look and see if there’s anything you like.”

“Going to ordinary sea areas is fine, but don’t go to these places marked with sea monsters, they’re too dangerous.” Jiang Yu was genuinely worried about Lanni, always feeling that he would rely on his skills and daring to recklessly explore dangerous sea areas.

Aside from his identical face to her boyfriend, Jiang Yu had come to regard Lanny as a loyal and reliable partner after their collaboration with the Wilman family. Of course, she didn't want her partner to take risks, nor did she want the Wilman family or Lady Vanessa to live in constant fear for her son.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been at sea with my father since I was very young. I know my own capabilities and I won’t be reckless.” Lanny was clearly pleased with Jiang Yu’s concern. “I just thought you would need this map, and I only wanted to make it as detailed and accurate as possible.”

“This is truly a treasure to me, more precious than any number of pearls and transparent corals. With it, it means we may have even more pearls and transparent corals in the future. Lanny, you are truly amazing.” Jiang Yu held the parchment map as if it were a priceless treasure.

"I showed it to Qingyin this afternoon. With the help of this map, I believe some of the measures he has come up with can be planned and implemented soon. Thank you so much, Lanny."

"As long as it's useful to the lord, that's fine. There's no need to thank me. I decided long ago to serve the lord wholeheartedly, and I'll give you everything I have. If it's something you want but I don't have, I'll do my best to get it for you." As Lanny said this, he raised his eyes and looked directly at Jiang Yu, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Jiang Yu looked at the young man with black hair and black eyes in front of her and felt that there was something else in his eyes, but perhaps it was because of his appearance that she was overthinking it.

However, no one could remain unmoved after hearing such heartfelt words of loyalty.

“Lanni, you’ve done so much for me. I just want to remind you again that I know you pearl divers are used to taking risks, but I hope you won’t go to seas that are too dangerous.” Jiang Yu felt that there was something stubborn about the young man in front of her, and she sincerely advised him not to go on a risky journey.
