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

Chapter 346

This will not only make their village temple bigger, but also boost the village's economy and increase the amount of money in the village's accounts. It's a win-win situation.

To be honest, this year's event was quite a surprise for the village chief.

Speaking of Taoist priests, a Taoist priest actually came to the village chief's house.

This person was the old Taoist priest that Yun Jiao and the others had encountered. At this moment, he was wearing an old Taoist robe, and his white hair was tied into a Taoist bun on top of his head.

After tidying it up, it really does have a bit of an otherworldly, ethereal quality.

"But it's the village chief of Bailong Village."

The village chief and the clan elders all looked at him.

That's right, the old Taoist priest came from the village temple he was in charge of.

Regardless of whether the Taoist priest is real or not, let's invite him in to test him out first.

Unexpectedly, this old Taoist priest was quite skilled. Not only could he draw talismans, but he also knew the names of various Taoist deities like the back of his hand. Most importantly, he even produced several paintings.

Besides the portrait of Mazu, those paintings also included portraits of various deities worshipped in their area.

The concept of deities has been passed down from ancient times and is still believed today, but most of it has been passed down orally or described in writing, and very few people have been able to draw what they look like.

The moment they saw those portraits, it was as if a voice was speaking in their hearts.

That's it, that's it.

So the village chief, his face full of wrinkles, shook the old Taoist's hand.

"May I ask your name, Taoist priest, and where did you learn it from?"

"No problem, no problem. Village chief, just call me Master Qingfeng. I come from Wudang Mountain."

After some conversation, Master Qingfeng successfully checked into Bailong Village.

After that, he helped Bailong Village plan its village temple.

While the village chief and the others were busy, Yun Jiao's birthday arrived.

She had originally planned to keep it simple, just like her brothers' birthdays, with a nice meal cooked at home.

But her godparents and their family came.

They came with a boat.

On Yun Jiao's birthday, a large ship arrived at the dock.

In comparison, the metal fishing boats that came along with them were quite inconspicuous.

But when Yun Jiao and her family arrived, the first thing they saw was that tin fishing boat.

Because the big ship belongs to someone else, but the small fishing boat belongs to them!
"Godfather, godmother."

Five-year-old Yun Jiao hasn't grown much taller today; her short legs carried her to Sun Yaotong and Wang Yun.

Wang Yun picked up the child.

"Has grown tall."

Yun Jiao immediately beamed with joy; she loved hearing those words.

"Wow, is this your family's boat, godmother? It's huge!"

"Yes, it's ours. Let's go up and take a look."

"Yeah."

She and her brothers skipped and hopped onto the big ship.

The boat's main purpose is not fishing, so the interior is very luxurious, like a house.

Luxury houses that can float on the sea.

And there's plenty of food inside.

There are even dedicated chefs cooking.

"Didn't Sister Qin come today?"

"She'll be here for quite a while before we go back. Her studies can't be interrupted for that long. Although she didn't come, she brought you a videotape and a letter."

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

There is a special area on the ship where videotapes are played.

Yun Jiao watched the birthday greeting video that Sun Yaoqin had recorded for her.

This thing is actually quite fun.

"How about Jiaojiao also records a video for your sister Qin and takes it back?"

Yun Jiao's eyes lit up: "Really? Really?"

"of course can."

"Then godmother, can you record this for me? We'll go outside in a bit."

Yunjiao wanted to introduce all her friends to Sister Qin.

Wang Yun, carrying the camera, followed Yun Jiao outside the boat. Yun Jiao walked to the railing and looked out, seeing her family's boat, and her father, uncle, and grandfather on board.

They were all looking around curiously.

Yun Jiao whistled.

The people on the boat below all looked at her.

"Father, please move the boat a little further away. I need to introduce my friends to Sister Qin. I'm going to record this."

"What? A recording? Count me in! Count me in!"

Wang Yi and his parents happened to be passing by when they heard this, and immediately ran over carrying their camera.

Anyone with a brain knows that Yun Jiao's friends are not human.

"Uncle Wang, Auntie, you're here too!"

Liu Yun lifted the cake in her hand.

"Come celebrate your birthday, Jiaojiao, happy birthday."

Yun Jiao smiled and said thank you.

Oh dear, she originally wanted to have a low-key birthday celebration, but it turns out she can't keep it that way.

After the Wang family, Yun Jiao's masters and teachers also arrived.

"Xiao Yunjiao, you're really not being fair. You didn't even invite us to your birthday party."

Old Gu gave her a red envelope.

Yun Jiao smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth: "Oh dear, I just wanted to have a simple meal, but I'm just too popular!"

His narcissistic little act made everyone laugh.

There were even more people this year than last year. When almost everyone had arrived, the Sun family's boat sailed out to sea, and Yun Jiao stood at the bow and sang.

Her singing voice was ethereal and penetrating, a voice that caught everyone's eye.

Wang Yi was even more excited. While the camera was pointed at Yun Jiao, it was also pointed at the sea in front of her.

They didn't have to wait long before a loud whale call came from the ocean.

The sound seemed to come from an ancient time, perfectly harmonizing with Yun Jiao's singing.

"I'm coming!"

Wang Yi's lowered voice couldn't hide his excitement.

The others on the ship were dumbfounded.

Wang Yun took a deep breath and opened her eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single moment.

The camera in their hands honestly recorded everything.

The sounds from the sea grew closer, and orcas and dolphins leaped and fell from the water, forming a strange yet harmonious procession that looked like acrobatic performance.

The humpback whales behind them gradually emerged from the sea, and at that moment they spewed out a spectacular column of water from their blowholes.

"Wow!!!"

On the ship, and in the distance, people who could see clearly but not clearly exclaimed in surprise.

"It's spectacular, it's incredible!"

Last time, orcas came to celebrate Yun Jiao's birthday, but they came on their own. This time, Yun Jiao summoned them.

Moreover, there were even larger humpback whales and grown pink manta rays, so it was clear that this was even more spectacular and awe-inspiring.

They even swam around the boat in circles, which looked absolutely amazing.

Yun Jiao leaned on the railing and greeted them, then turned to Wang Yun and said.

“Godmother, they are all my friends. When Sister Qin comes to visit in the future, I will ask my friends to take her out to sea.”

After Wang Yun realized what was happening, the way she looked at Yun Jiao changed.

She must have found a really talented girl to be her daughter; she must feel incredibly lucky.

"Okay, okay, we'll bring her here to play during summer vacation."

The weather in March was still quite cold, but Yun Jiao wanted to take off her heavy clothes and jump into the sea to play with the orcas.

But I reckon I'll get a beating when I get back.

She's not a three-year-old anymore; it's a bit embarrassing to get a spanking, so let's just let it go.

We got to know Yun Jiao's friends, and even after they left, we still felt a little reluctant to say goodbye.

Sun Yaotong thought about it more.

"Be careful with Jiaojiao's skills, lest she be used for shady things."

Yun Linhai patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, Jiaojiao has a sinecure in the military, and the people there are watching her. Besides, she's not stupid."

　I had to go out today, so I'll only have one chapter since I'll be back late.
