Chapter 372 Departure, Long Journey

Yun Jiao listened attentively to her grandfather's words, and then nodded.

"Okay, then I won't interfere any further."

Anyway, she can find all sorts of ways to spend money on her grandparents.

Returning home with a boatload of fish, Yun Jiao sat at the bow, enjoying the sea breeze, and felt that life was pretty good now.

When the boat arrived at the dock, I greeted my father and the others and ran home.

I ate the food that everyone fed me until I was half full, and then I played with my older brothers.

We'll have dinner together when Father and the others come back.

After finishing her meal, she mentioned that she would be leaving for a while.

"What? What are you going to do in such a faraway place?"

Going out alone, especially to a place where even orcas can only swim for three days, is too risky.

Nobody can rest easy about it.

"There is a shipwreck."

Yun Jiao said, "The orca told me that there's a shipwreck over there. Mother, I want to go and see it."

Shipwrecks bring in money faster than selling fish.

It's a waste anyway, it's just sitting in the sea. She's short of money, so she'll definitely try to fish it out once she finds out.

This is a perfect match for her major.

Grandma Yun held Yun Jiao's hand: "Jiao Jiao, it's so far away, Grandma is worried."

Yun Jiao: "Don't worry, Grandma, just think of it as me going to school, um, the boarding school kind."

"Can that be the same?"

Shen Yunlian glared at her, annoyed: "What are we afraid of when you're at school? But this is the ocean!"

Yun Jiao smiled and said, "But Mother, I also belong to the sea."

She was destined to work with the sea.

Shen Yunlian stroked her head: "If you were older, your mother wouldn't worry."

Even if Yun Jiao were to go out for a day now, they wouldn't be so worried.

But... it's already three days to go there and three more days to come back, she doesn't know how long she'll have to stay there.

It will take at least ten days.

The sea was a place that these fishermen both revered and feared.

If something happens at sea, you might never even find a body.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat somber.

Yun Jiao really wanted to go and see it.

She is not afraid of danger; she can even sleep in the sea.

In her previous life, she wouldn't have needed to worry about these things at all; getting injured while fighting in the sea was commonplace.

But in this life, she has something to worry about.

"Go."

Grandpa Yun spoke while smoking a cigarette.

"But Jiaojiao, there are too many unknowns in the ocean, you must be careful."

"Father..."

Yun Linhai and the others were worried and wanted to say something, but the old man stopped them.

Grandpa Yun: "I know you're worried, but you have to trust Jiaojiao."

Yun Jiao nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll be back safely!"

"Alright, you're leaving tomorrow, right? Then let's have some fun today."

Yun Jiao happily went to play with her brothers.

“Father, it’s so far, how can you let Jiaojiao go alone? If it’s really necessary, we can sail with her in the boat. We can just bring more diesel and food.”

Yunlinhe nodded in agreement: "Yes, our boats can travel that far too."

Grandpa Yun: "Jiaojiao is no ordinary person."

"She is young, but as you can see, she is more mature and composed than her older brothers."

Grandpa Yun looked outside and said, "Jiaojiao's arrival in our family was an accident; she's a blessing we found."

"But we can't keep her by our side."

Grandma Yun sighed, "When children grow up, they always have to leave their parents' side to see the wider world."

"But Jiaojiao, compared to the other children, is able to fly ahead."

"But that's the ocean."

Grandpa Yun: "Jiaojiao originally belonged to the sea."

Jiaojiao left them alone to go to the sea. At first, it was only for a short time, but later it took a whole day.

The two elders knew this day would come sooner or later. The next morning, Yun Jiao woke up to an exceptionally lavish breakfast at home.

The fried fish, the steamed egg with sea urchin was served in a large bowl with lots of sea urchin roe, and there were also crab roe buns...

"Jiaojiao, you've been gone for so many days, you haven't had a chance to eat these hot and delicious foods."

Yun Jiao was also very disappointed.

However, she remained determined to go.

"Then I'll eat when I get back."

Shen Yunlian was disappointed; even delicious food couldn't change Jiaojiao's mind.

"Eat more, and be careful."

All morning, Yun Jiao kept stuffing food into her mouth while listening to her aunts and other relatives' various instructions.

"Mom, have you finished making my dress yet?"

Yun Jiao finally made up her mind to make a dress from a piece of blue fabric.

She even picked out the style herself.

"it is done."

It's simple yet has a touch of playfulness.

The fabric is very light; it feels like Yun Jiao's own skin when she wears it.

good looking.

There were also two fishtail-like decorations on her feet.

Although it's a bit cumbersome, she likes it.

She misses her big tail so much.

"This fabric is amazing; it makes any clothes look good."

"Our Jiaojiao is like a little fairy now."

Yun Jiao felt a surge of joy; she had always been this beautiful.

"I'm leaving."

The fairy brought several net bags and burlap sacks, which made her look a bit rougher.

"Go on, go on, and come back soon."

Yun Jiao was also reluctant to part with it.

They took her to the beach, waved goodbye to her, and then jumped into the sea and disappeared.

She'll be back soon!
After meeting up with the orca, Yun Jiao handed over what she was carrying to the orca.

She wants to look beautiful effortlessly.

Several orcas curiously gathered around; the little guy was different today.

It looks so good today, and it even has a tail like the others.

Yun Jiao's swimming style is influenced by her merman body from her previous life, allowing her to swim with her legs closed like a fish tail.

Now it looks more like a super pretty little fish.

Yun Jiao swims at a speed similar to that of an orca in the sea, and her endurance is also quite good.

When I'm hungry, I just grab whatever's available to eat.

At night, I fell asleep in the sea with the orcas.

This was the first time she had ever slept in the sea; it felt like she had returned to her past life.

The sea gives her an unparalleled sense of security; it's like her second home.

Orcas are very playful; while swimming, they often go off to chase other things in the sea.

Yun Jiao angrily pulled them back and continued on her way.

At mealtimes, we would go fishing with them.

During that time, I saw ships at sea, the kind of large fishing boats that go on long-distance voyages.

It seems to have come back from overseas.

She glanced at it only once before urging the orca to leave.

But the people on the ship saw her fleeting figure and their eyes widened in surprise.

"I think I just saw a mermaid."

But upon closer inspection, there was nothing there.

I could only vaguely see the orca.

His companion next to him burst into laughter upon hearing his words.

"Hey Lao Hu, you've had too much to drink, haven't you? Mermaid, huh? Hahaha..."

The person speaking also thought that he had drunk too much, so how could he possibly have a mermaid?
