Chapter 214 Taking the Little Manta Ray to Find its Guardian Fish
"Drink the ginger soup first."

Yun Jiao wanted to escape, but she couldn't.

Her little brows furrowed at the mere smell of the spicy ginger soup.

As the bowl approached, her beautiful features scrunched up, her neck stiffening in a look of resistance.

It was so funny to watch.

Grandma Yun's smile made the wrinkles around her eyes even more pronounced. She gently persuaded, "There's rock sugar in this ginger soup, it's not that bad, why don't you try it?"

Yun Jiao was skeptical, but took a small sip.

Then stick out your tongue.

unpalatable!

It has a hint of sweetness, but it's mostly spicy.

"Good medicine tastes bitter. This isn't even medicine yet. It's just ginger soup to ward off the cold. You dare to swim in the sea in this weather? If you really get sick, you'll not only have to get injections but also take medicine, the kind of traditional Chinese medicine that Grandma used to take."

The kind of Chinese medicine that Yun Jiao found utterly repulsive just from the smell.

Finally, amidst everyone's urging, the delicate little fish reluctantly drank the ginger soup.

After slowly finishing her drink, Yun Jiao dragged her father to the beach.

"Father, what happened to that big manta ray? Did you take it away?"

Yun Linhai nodded: "That manta ray was too big. Several of us couldn't lift it. In the end, the village chief's tractor took it away."

However, it took more than a dozen people a lot of effort just to get the manta rays onto the tractor.

"Manta rays and stingrays are similar, so their prices shouldn't be too different."

Stingrays cost six or seven cents a pound.

Manta rays are similar, but this manta ray is so big that even at six cents a pound, it could sell for a lot of money.

"By the way, where's my bucket?"

She still has a big treasure in that bucket.

"I brought it home for you, what's wrong?"

Yun Jiao: "There are gifts inside from orcas, brought from a very far place."

They arrived at the beach, where there were still quite a few people watching the manta ray.

They all shouted when they saw Yun Jiao coming over.

"Yun Jiao, come and see what's wrong with that manta ray. It looks so silly and keeps darting towards the shore."

“Your fourth brother has thrown it into the sea several times, but it always runs back to shore after a short while.”

Yun Jiao: What else can we do but go find her?

Yunlin went boating, and Yunjiao was itching to go into the sea.

She had barely lifted one foot when she was picked up by the armpits by the succulent little girl.

Yun Xiaowu lifted her up: "Jiaojiao, do you want to get a spanking again?"

Yun Jiao: She hasn't gone down yet!
On the other side, the little manta ray saw Yun Jiao struggling to get ashore, and Yun Jiao also wanted to go into the sea.

When Yun Linhai's boat finally arrived, Yun Jiao couldn't wait to climb aboard.

There were several older brothers following behind.

They grinned and shamelessly continued.

"Father, since it's not going out to sea, it's okay for us to come along, right?"

"That's right, we also want to get to know the killer whales and manta rays."

Yun Chenbei also silently climbed onto the boat and raised the camera in his hand.

"I'm taking pictures."

Yun Linhai sighed. Could he possibly drive these guys away?
Once out to sea, Yun Jiao leaned over the edge of the boat and called out to the little manta ray, beckoning to it.

The little manta ray immediately swam over, flapping its wing-like fins.

It struggled to support its body, looking pitiful as it wanted Yun Jiao to touch it.

"Come on, let's find you a guardian—no, let's go find a fish!"

Yunlin Hai rowed the boat to the area where orcas often roam.

He rocked very slowly because the little manta ray swam very slowly as well.

Most importantly, the little guy was tired and hungry.

It only knows how to chase after Yun Jiao now and doesn't eat anything at all.

Yun Jiao looked at her father with longing eyes.

"Father, please let me down, little manta ray is so hungry."

"If I get sick, I will definitely be good and not go into the sea when it's cold."

"Father~~~" Yun Jiao fully utilized her advantages and acted coquettishly.

She was pretending to be wronged and pitiful.

The old father finally gave in.

Yun Jiao's eyes lit up, and she took off her coat and jumped into the sea.

"Be careful, aren't you cold?"

Yun Jiao: "It's not cold."

She moved like a fish, leaping out of the sea and then falling back in right in front of them, incredibly agile.

"Father, I'm not cold at all, I'm actually quite comfortable, so don't worry."

"I'm taking the little manta ray with me."

The little manta rays were now circling around her, nuzzling her.

So clingy.

But he's only a baby less than a day old, so it's normal for him to be a little clingy.

After greeting the people on the boat, Yun Jiao led the little manta ray into the deeper sea.

Despite their large size, manta rays actually feed on plankton and small fish.

There are many types of manta rays, and the little manta ray belongs to the double-nosed manta ray family.

It is the largest of the manta rays.

It has two rostrum fins at the front that are clasped together, and when it swims, the fins flap like wings.

It can even leap out of the water and glide for a distance.

Its mouth is very large, and its flat mouth almost takes up the entire head.

At this moment, the little manta ray is learning to hunt with its mouth wide open.

They eat small planktonic organisms from the ocean.

Yun Jiao would occasionally catch some very small fish and throw them into its mouth.

The little manta ray ate happily.

After it was full and tired, it didn't stand on ceremony at all and lay directly on Yun Jiao's back.

Yun Jiao: ...Reversed the Heavenly Gang, in the past, fish always carried her!
"I'll let it go since you're still a baby."

Yun Jiao held the little manta ray's tiny wings and muttered a lecture: "But you have to grow up quickly, the bigger the better."

It will then become her personal 'fish car'.

She wasn't raised for nothing.

Yun Jiao thought that since she was already here, she should at least grab something to take back with her.

She found a huge bread crab lying in the sand on the seabed.

Yun Jiao was incredibly tempted by those big, thick, red pincers.

As Yun Jiao swam behind the large bread crab, just as she was about to grab it, her mischievous nature as a child began to show.

This isn't about Yun Jiao, but rather a baby manta ray.

Whether it's humans or other creatures, most animals are quite mischievous when they are young.

The little manta ray was even faster than Yun Jiao. It seemed to have noticed her interest in the bread crab and pounced, kicking up a cloud of muddy sand.

The bread crab raised its large pincers and tried to clamp it down.

Yun Jiao quickly caught the little manta ray that it thought was playing around, and slapped it with controlled force.

"be honest!"

After scolding the little manta ray, she quickly darted off in the direction the bread crab had fled.

They quickly subdued the bread crab, which was covered in red armor and baring its fangs and claws.

Without anything to tie the crab with, Yun Jiao could only grab the bread crab's two large claws and swim back.

The little manta ray followed closely behind her.

Along the way, they encountered a diligent turtle carrying a large net full of sea urchins.

Yun Jiao sidled up to him: "Turtle One, you're amazing! I'll open a sea urchin for you to eat when we get on the ship."

The sea turtle calmly glanced at her.

The little manta ray seemed very curious about the turtle, swimming up and down around it.

Once on the surface of the sea, Yun Jiao held up the bread crab for the people on the boat to see.

"Father, look! I found a huge bread crab."
