Chapter 211: The Orca Comes Back With Gifts
Gui Yi’s heavy shell smashed onto the man.
With a ‘duang’ sound and screams, the man who was menacingly glaring at Yun Sui was pressed face down onto the tidal flats.
Gui Yi flailed its four flippers.
Yun Jiao ran over and scooped Gui Yi down. It stared at her with a resentful gaze.
Yun Jiao glanced up at the sky, feeling a little guilty.
Yun Sui’s eyes lit up when Yun Jiao came over, and inexplicably, he seemed a little wronged.
It was strangely similar to the two puppies whimpering and barking at her from the side, their ears drooping, as if complaining.
“You… Yun Jiao!”
The man lying on the tidal flats struggled to lift his head, his nose bleeding, and he glared fiercely at Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao put her little hands on her hips: “What are you doing bullying Yun Sui and my dogs?”
“This territory is mine, and I permit you to come?”
The little fellow said it righteously.
The man gritted his teeth hatefully: “Little bitch, you’re asking for death!”
Having lost so much face, and considering this man was already notorious in the village for his bad temper, often beating his wife and children when drunk.
He got up and was about to make a move on Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao slid behind him and kicked him in the hollow of his leg.
*Plop…*
The man knelt down in the water.
“Aow! You￥#@&*%￥@!”
He was swearing so filthily, Yun Jiao wouldn’t indulge him and directly grabbed a sea cucumber and shoved it into his mouth.
“You want this, right? Here you go.”
“Ugh…”
The feeling of a still-alive sea cucumber squirming in his mouth was disgusting and terrifying, and the man spat it out immediately.
Yun Jiao exclaimed “yuck” with disdain, holding a bucket in one hand and Gui Yi’s flipper in the other as she ran.
“Yun Sui, keep up, run faster.”
She also whistled, and the domestic ducks and geese that had scattered earlier flapped their wings and ran after her.
In the blink of an eye, by the time the man recovered from his disgust, Yun Jiao and Yun Sui were nowhere to be seen.
He stood up, cursing, and instinctively wanted to chase after them, but his leg still hurt from the kick. As soon as he stood up, he knelt back down.
The man: “Damn ￥#@@* You better not let me catch you!”
“Hiss… it hurts so much.”
Not only did his leg hurt, but the blow from that giant sea turtle also made him grimace in pain.
Yun Jiao ran off after beating him, only stopping when she reached the place where she played with the orcas.
“Why are you so stupid? If you can’t beat them, run! Come find me, and I’ll help you beat them back and get your stuff back.”
After stopping, Yun Jiao, despite her small stature, lectured Yun Sui, who was much taller than her.
Yun Sui just looked at her and grinned foolishly.
Yun Jiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Sigh, this one is really stupid.
Yun Jiao threw the giant sea turtle back into the sea.
“Gui Yi, go find some sea urchins.”
Fortunately, she always carried a net bag and a sack with her. Whether they would be used or not was another matter, but they definitely had to be prepared.
With Gui Yi as labor, Yun Jiao climbed onto a reef and began warming up her voice to sing.
She loved singing.
Merfolk were very satisfied with their appearance and voices. Usually, besides fighting, they enjoyed taking care of their large tails and singing.
Now that her beautiful fish tail was gone, she would sing.
Yun Sui listened very attentively, his innocent eyes full of fondness.
“Ying ying ying~~~”
‘We’re back!’
‘Human, did you miss us?’
‘Human, we brought you a gift.’
As she sang the third song, a familiar voice came from afar.
Yun Jiao, standing on the reef, could clearly see the black and white figures tumbling on the sea surface.
It was the orcas, they were back.
The pod of dolphins that had been approaching this area scattered and ran when they heard the orcas’ voices.
The strays are back, run!
The orcas’ return was domineering; marine creatures in the surrounding waters fled.
But they didn’t care, and neither did Yun Jiao.
She happily waved at the orcas.
The sea, soon she would be able to play in the sea again!
Not only did the orcas return, but they also learned from humans to bring gifts when traveling far.
‘Human, we brought you a gift. This is my favorite shellfish.’
‘Human, this big shiny stone is for you. It’s a pretty stone you like.’
After interacting with Yun Jiao for so long, the orcas knew she liked to collect pretty or strangely shaped stones.
The orcas were too large to swim over, and Yun Jiao, between receiving gifts and getting beaten, boldly chose to get beaten.
The weather was warming up now, so Yun Jiao took off her coat, told Yun Sui to watch her dogs, and then jumped into the sea.
The moment she entered the water, Yun Jiao felt her skin so comfortable it was as if it could breathe.
The seawater was still very cold at this time, but it was no problem for her.
The beautiful, elf-like figure in the seawater showed that she was very happy.
Yun Sui stood on the shore holding Yun Jiao’s clothes, craning his neck to look into the sea.
Although he was foolish, his grandpa had also repeatedly told him that the sea was dangerous and he shouldn’t go near it.
“Dangerous, dangerous.”
Yun Sui stood on the shore shouting “dangerous” repeatedly, wanting Yun Jiao to come up.
Yun Jiao poked her head out of the water and said to him, “Don’t come down, or I’ll beat you!”
Hearing “beat,” Yun Sui retracted the foot he was about to step into the seawater.
He looked at her resentfully.
Seeing that he was obedient and didn’t move forward, Yun Jiao then continued towards the orcas.
Receiving gifts, receiving gifts.
Almost every orca brought her a gift.
Some unknown shellfish, a large manta ray, and various stones and corals from the seabed.
That manta ray was clearly freshly caught.
Yun Jiao’s face beamed as she received the gifts.
“Friends, all friends!”
She loved them so much.
Among them was a sapphire the size of an adult’s fist, which she liked the most. Even though it wasn’t polished yet, the gemstone showed an ocean-like blue, with irregular white stripes, like sea foam.
This stone seemed to have grown in the image of the ocean.
‘Human, this shellfish has a round stone inside, you like it.’
The orca that gave Yun Jiao the shellfish nuzzled up to her solicitously.
Yun Jiao glanced at the three large shellfish she was holding.
“Where did you bring these from?”
Orca: ‘From very far away, we had to swim for a long time.’
‘There were a lot originally, but we lost many on the way back, only these remain.’
Alright, bringing such shellfish from so far away was not easy just thinking about it.
Yun Jiao could imagine the scene of them initially carrying a lot of things, but constantly dropping equipment on the way back.
Yun Jiao counted, the number of orcas hadn’t changed.
She just didn’t know if any of the female orcas were pregnant.
“I have to go back. I’ll find you tomorrow.”
After bidding farewell to the orcas, Yun Jiao first took the gemstones, corals, and shellfish to the shore, and then went to catch the large manta ray.
Looking at the manta ray, she worried about how to bring this thing back.
“Yun Sui, go find my father and the others.”
Yun Sui looked confused.
Yun Jiao: “My father, he’s the one who often bathes you.”
Yun Sui stared at her, his eyes stunned, not knowing if he understood.
Yun Jiao: …
This is harder than communicating with orcas.
