Chapter 1713: Chapter 1713: Is He Really Using the Black Pearl to Tempt the Mermaid?

Gu Junbai had to specifically remind Gu Qiaoqiao alone.

Despite her current pregnancy, seeming quiet and well-behaved, should anything happen, this girl would definitely be the fastest to rush forward.

He certainly doesn’t want Qiaoqiao to get hurt.

Upon hearing Gu Junbai speak in a child’s coaxing tone, Ling Nan could not help but laugh.

Gu Qiaoqiao beamed, "Little Uncle, then you have to keep your word."

Such a large Black Pearl is hard to find in the world. Although she’s not a money-grubber, Gu Qiaoqiao has a special interest in these things and has collected quite a lot over the years.

Not just now, even in her past life during those years living in the Northern Frontier, she collected a fair amount; she remembers having quite a few pieces of amber.

She knows the geography of the Northern Frontier very well, as the mineral resources there are extremely rich. Millions of years ago it was a forest that later turned into an ocean, and after the seawater receded, it transformed into vast forests and mountains again.

So, in very deep river water, there are indeed lots of interesting things.

Gu Qiaoqiao recalls one piece of amber in her hand, inside which is a small fish.

She didn’t know how the little fish got in, but it was truly a genuine amber because she herself picked it up from the riverbank.

Nobody faked things back then.

So the items are genuinely real.

In this lifetime, she also visited that location, but she got them a year later in the past life; the river water hadn’t washed these things up yet, they needed a flood to bring them out.

Thinking about it, in this life, she seems to have less affinity with these little things, and such natural amber is a precious fossil, Gu Qiaoqiao thought it was a pity when she remembered.

It seems Little Uncle really knows her well.

Gu Junbai leisurely tidied up his face mask and snorkel, moved around a bit; although he was somewhat unaccustomed, this equipment was quite decent. This stretch of sea looks calm, but the deep sea may not be as placid.

He himself wasn’t worried about anything.

He just didn’t want to trouble the three people on the boat.

Qin Yize stepped forward and recounted the diving precautions and some simple essentials to Gu Junbai, knowing that for him, these were merely auxiliary tools.

So he only focused on the key points.

Sure enough, Gu Junbai was very satisfied, as that was just what he wanted to know, he disliked long-winded explanations.

He lifted his eyelids to glance at Qin Yize; if he weren’t Qiaoqiao’s husband, he’d really like to take him along and teach him well.

However, on second thought, he’s being short-sighted.

He’s Qiaoqiao’s husband, so what’s the difference from his own child?

With a slight shake of his head, Gu Junbai no longer hesitated, turned around, and leaped into the sea, soon disappearing.

Gu Qiaoqiao leaned over the ship’s side, looking down below.

An ancestor is indeed an ancestor.

The dive itself is so graceful.

Is he really using the Black Pearl to lure a Mermaid?

Gu Qiaoqiao lifted her gaze around.

The place was very calm, nothing unusual; she thought to herself she might be overthinking.

That Mermaid is just a legend, how could it exist?

The three of them stared at the sea surface quietly for a few minutes at the boat’s side, then Ling Nan scratched the back of his head, glancing at Qin Yize repeatedly. Somehow, with Gu Junbai gone, Qin Yize seemed to become the pillar, and he finally asked, "Big Brother Qin, are we just waiting here?"

"Let’s go fishing," Qin Yize said leisurely.

Ling Nan instantly brightened up, thrilled and clapped his hands in delight, "Great, Big Brother Qin! I love fishing; let’s catch a lot of fish today and grill them for a feast. I see there’s a barbecue grill on the boat."

Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, glancing at him.

Seems like the perks of spending time in the kitchen these past years.

Qin Yize extended his hand, gently ruffling the top of Gu Qiaoqiao’s head, softly saying, "Qiaoqiao, stay here, don’t go anywhere. I’m going to get some fishing poles from the cabin; soon you’ll see me catch big fish for you."

Gu Qiaoqiao obediently nodded.

Then Qin Yize went to the cabin along with Ling Nan, shortly returning with two sets of fishing gear.

They were very advanced fishing tools.

There was a designated fishing area on the yacht, and the two of them adjusted the fishing rods; even if they’d never handled them before, men seemed inherently skilled with such things, quickly mastering them.

Seeing Qin Yize’s deftness, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t believe it was his first time fishing.

Since he doesn’t need to fish either, with Gu Qiaoqiao, an expert with a fish spear, around, he really won’t need to; Gu Qiaoqiao pouted but didn’t watch him fish, knowing it would be dull for sure.

She stood at the stern, gazing around; her eyesight was excellent, spotting a lonely little island in the ocean-sky expanse.

Upon a closer look, that island wasn’t lonely at all.

There were stationed troops there.

It should be a lookout post.

Subsequently, Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned.

Because logically, she shouldn’t be able to see that far.

But why could she?

Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand slowly rested on her belly; the two little ones were lively today, punching her belly back and forth.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt slightly uncomfortable, so she placed her hand over it, and then the two little ones quieted down.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but bear a hint of proud smile at the corner of her mouth.

At six months, the fetuses were almost fully developed, but she knew her two babies were much better than average.

Especially growing so fast recently, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t imagine how big her belly would be at nine months; she frowned slightly at the thought.

Seemingly sensing Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts, the two babies inside grew even quieter.

Gu Qiaoqiao sheepishly withdrew her hand.

She certainly didn’t mean to dislike her precious ones.

Gu Qiaoqiao placed her hands on the railing, glanced at the spot where Gu Junbai had entered the water, not knowing how things were going now; counting the time, it had been twenty minutes.

By this time, Gu Junbai had dived deep into the sea. Around him he had enhanced his mana and Barrier Talisman, allowing him to stay underwater longer, as comfortably as if on land.

Heading towards a place he remembered and swam toward it. The sea below became increasingly dark and deep, unlike the clear blue surface.

Then peculiar-shaped fish started swimming around him.

Gu Junbai swam to a coral-filled area.

The place was strange yet beautiful, the coral formed a cave.

Many beautiful little fish were darting back and forth inside the cave.

Gu Junbai opened the Jade Box, retrieving the Black Pearl from inside.
