Chapter 475 - 451: Ninth Birthday

"Welcome to my island, everyone."

Although the brothers Yun Chendong and Yun Chenxi knew from her letters that their sister had bought an island, they never expected it to be this big!

The others, who had only just found out Yun Jiao owned an island, were even more stunned.

It stretched as far as the eye could see.

The lake in the island’s center was huge and beautiful, and it even held some large marine animals.

They weren’t afraid of the people at all. A white dolphin even spat a mouthful of water at those on the shore.

The Clouded Leopard that had come back to the shore to "watch" the fish saw all the people and bolted in a flash.

"This island actually has leopards!"

A first-time visitor who also saw the Clouded Leopard was shocked.

"Of course. That forest over there is huge, and it’s full of animals—felines, birds, snakes, crocodiles, you name it."

Yun Jiao added, "But it’s best not to go over there on your own. There are quite a few venomous snakes and poisonous spiders."

The crowd was left speechless.

’Who would dare go? It’s not like we have a death wish!’

"Let’s head toward the house."

As they neared the house, they naturally caught sight of the behemoths.

"Gasp..."

"HOLY SHIT!!!"

"What... what are those things?!"

Everyone, except for those who had seen them before, gasped as they looked at the fossil specimens. Their eyes were wide with shock, and their jaws hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

Yun Xiaowu was the most excited of them all.

"Whoa! Jiaojiao, what are those? What are they?!"

The few who were in the Capital had rushed back just last night, bringing Yun Xiao Liu’s master, Mr. Hu, and Elder Wu along with them.

"Are these the bones of some monster? How can bones be this big!"

"Good heavens! Those teeth... they’re huge! A single one is bigger than my hand!"

"These bones... A person my size wouldn’t even be enough to get stuck in their teeth."

"My God, what did these things eat to get so big?"

Some of the Yun family’s relatives from the village had also come, along with Daoist Qingfeng and Yun Sui.

’Looks like the island won’t be a secret for much longer after they all go home.’

Everyone crowded around the animal skeletons. Up close, their immense scale was even more palpable.

If the bones alone were this massive, it was impossible to imagine how large they must have been with flesh and blood.

They looked like small mountains.

Everyone was completely captivated by the skeletons.

Those with cameras started snapping pictures, and some had even brought video recorders.

"Good heavens, Jiaojiao, where did you get these fossils?"

Sun Yaotong and his group were more worldly; they recognized them as fossils from prehistoric creatures.

But that recognition only made it all the more unbelievable.

’So many complete fossils!’

Yun Jiao pointed toward the ocean. "I brought them up from the deep sea."

Sun Yaotong took a deep breath. After the shipwreck salvage operation, he had thought he had a decent grasp of Yun Jiao’s abilities. Now, it was clear that he had barely scratched the surface!

’These fossils are incredibly valuable.’

’There aren’t any laws protecting paleontological fossils yet.’

Sun Yaotong gazed at the massive skeletons, his heart racing with excitement.

No man could resist the allure of such behemoths.

’He might not dare to dream of a living one, but since these were long dead, he could certainly indulge the fantasy.’

’Just imagine bringing one back to display in his villa’s courtyard. That would be incredibly impressive.’

’I’ll ask Jiaojiao tomorrow if they’re for sale.’

"Jiaojiao, you’re incredible!"

"Brother, bro! Remember to send me a copy of your photos! Quick, take a few of me, too!"

It wasn’t just Yun Xiaowu who wanted his picture taken; everyone else did too.

They struck all sorts of poses for photos in front of the dinosaur skeletons.

’If it were possible,’ Yun Jiao thought, ’her Fifth Brother would probably try to take all these bones home.’

Too bad they were impossible to move.

After admiring the fossils to their heart’s content and taking plenty of photos, everyone finally, though reluctantly, stopped.

The most popular fossils were those of the Giant-toothed Shark and the Mosasaurus.

The massive teeth of the Giant-toothed Shark were just too visually striking.

Once they’d had their fun, it was time to make dinner.

Everyone pitched in, and with two master chefs present—Mr. Hu and Yun Xiao Liu—the meal came together quickly.

So, the meal turned out to be delicious.

After eating and drinking their fill, they found they could have fun for hours just by sitting in the courtyard and admiring the fossils.

However, Yun Jiao had other activities planned.

A killer whale race and a Humpback Whale voyage experience.

The killer whale race was simple: the brave, young people who could swim would ride the killer whales and race them across the sea.

Yun Jiao would act as the referee.

Among Yun Jiao’s older brothers, only the eldest, Lao San, and the fourth brother didn’t participate; the rest were all eager to give it a try.

As a navy man, Yun Chenxi had a more adventurous personality and was quite interested in the event.
