The Ocean's Little Tyrant: A Mermaid Baby Conquers the 80s
Chapter 352 - 349: Searching for the Shipwreck 2
Yun Xiaoqi nodded. "Yeah, we want to go too."
"Like hell you are! You brats itching for a spanking? Get back to school!"
"We’re not going! If you don’t take us, we’ll just swim there ourselves."
The boys were then chased a good distance by Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe and given a sound thrashing. Things only calmed down after Sun Yaotong stepped in to break up the fight.
Yun Xiaowu and the others clutched their backsides, limping as they successfully boarded the boat.
Although they’d taken a beating, their goal was accomplished. The boys grinned, flashing their pearly whites.
Yun Jiao sidled up to them. "You guys kept that a secret really well, only telling me now."
Yun Xiaowu proudly tilted his head up. "Of course. If we’d said anything earlier, Dad and the others would’ve been watching us like hawks."
Yun Xiaoqi said, "It was my idea. Pretty smart, huh?"
Yun Jiao frantically tried to signal them with her eyes, urging them to stop talking and look behind them.
"Jiaojiao, what’s wrong? Did you get sand in your eye?"
Yun Xiaoqi got hit again. "You little brat, you’re proud of this, are you?!"
"Ow! Dad, I was wrong! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
Yun Xiaowu was also sent scrambling and running all over.
"Dad, stop hitting me! I’m already this old and you’re still spanking my butt. Don’t I have any dignity?!"
"Dignity my ass!"
With Yun Jiao’s older brothers around, the boat instantly became much livelier.
Seeing this, the crew and divers on the boat not only didn’t intervene, but even egged them on.
Yun Jiao shook her head. "My signals were so obvious, but you guys really didn’t look back at all."
After a joyful time on the boat, Yun Jiao went to speak with her godfather as they neared the shipwreck.
Sun Yaotong nodded and handed her a diving suit.
"I know you can get to the seafloor without a diving suit, but there are a lot of prying eyes right now. If you don’t wear one, you’ll be noticed. I had this suit custom-made for you."
Yun Jiao knew he was doing this for her own good, so she nodded and put on the diving suit.
At Sun Yaotong’s instruction, the others also put on their diving suits and strapped on oxygen tanks.
Yun Xiaowu and the others watched with envy, wishing they could go down to the seafloor themselves, but they didn’t have diving suits.
The four boys instantly deflated.
Sun Yaotong smiled and patted their heads.
"All right, don’t look so down. Next time we come, I’ll have diving suits custom-made for you boys, too."
"Really? You’re not just saying that, are you, Uncle Sun?"
"Don’t worry. When I promise you something, I won’t go back on my word."
The four of them finally cheered up.
Once everyone was ready, the divers began entering the water one after another.
Two of them also gave Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe a quick tutorial.
The two of them knew how to dive, after all, so they picked it up quickly and followed the others into the deep.
Yun Jiao whistled, calling a few killer whales to follow.
She was worried that sharks might appear, which would be dangerous for everyone.
Sun Yaotong looked at the killer whales and thanked Yun Jiao.
"Go on and play. Come back and tell me if you find anything."
Yun Jiao nodded.
It was quite easy for her to find the shipwreck, since this wasn’t her first time here.
’Still, I have to put on a bit of an act. It would be too suspicious if I found it right away.’
Yun Jiao and the killer whales first toured the surrounding area, chasing away five nearby Great White Sharks.
She was like an underwater tyrant. With her killer whales in tow, she was more domineering than any creature in the sea.
She chased the sharks for a long way and even gave them a smack to warn them not to return.
The sharks felt utterly wronged. ’What did we ever do to provoke this tyrant?!’
Yun Jiao also grabbed a few highly venomous jellyfish and tossed them far away.
’That thing’s tentacles are ridiculously long, and its venom is potent.’
After clearing away the potential dangers in the area, Yun Jiao and the killer whales leisurely swam back to check on the others’ progress.
Returning to the side of the boat, she was riding on a killer whale when Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe pulled her up.
The others were panting for breath, all looking at Yun Jiao with amazement.
’Another killer whale.’
"Godfather, find anything?"
Sun Yaotong shook his head. "Not yet. Let’s eat something first. Everyone’s tired."
Even with diving gear, they couldn’t go too deep. The water pressure increased with depth, making breathing more difficult, so they couldn’t search for long before needing to surface.
While eating, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe excitedly gestured, describing what they had seen in the ocean.
Unlike the others, who were on a mission to find the shipwreck, the two of them were mostly just thrilled by the novelty of it all, enjoying the chance to dive deeper into the ocean.
As a result, they saw many things.
"I even caught a lobster this big."
Yun Linhe said excitedly, much to the envy of Yun Xiaowu and his brothers.
Yun Xiaoqi said, "Dad, how about you let me make do with your diving suit and oxygen tank? I want to go down and see what it’s like in the ocean, too."
Yun Linhe retorted, "How about I give you a kick instead?"
Yun Xiaoqi mumbled, "Stingy."
After eating and resting for a bit, everyone set out again.
Yun Jiao went too, this time taking her dad and little uncle to the shipwreck.
As soon as they drew near, the two men were stunned by the sight of the shipwreck.
But they didn’t have time for a longer look before they had to swim rapidly toward the surface.
They were reaching their limit.
Yun Jiao followed, holding some broken porcelain shards.
Most of the crew were already on the boat. When they saw the porcelain shards Yun Jiao was holding, their eyes lit up.
"This is... You found it?!"
Sun Yaotong also hurried over to help pull Yun Jiao onto the boat.
"You found it?"
Everyone gathered around, and the way they looked at Yun Jiao changed.
Everyone had initially assumed the boss brought a kid along just for fun. They never expected this child to be so capable—she could even interact with killer whales.
’And now, this little girl, only a few years old, had found what a whole group of adults couldn’t?’
Yun Jiao handed the porcelain shards to her godfather.
Yun Linhai said excitedly, "We found it! The shipwreck isn’t small, but it’s mostly wood and has rotted badly in the sea. Salvaging it will be a bit difficult."
Sun Yaotong was also thrilled. Searching for a shipwreck in the ocean was basically a gamble. But he was a man of bold vision, investing so much based on mere speculation.
He never expected to find it so quickly!
It was Yun Jiao who found it. Sun Yaotong thought, ’Jiaojiao really is my lucky star.’
