Chapter 136 The Pearl Girl Seizes the Pearl
Xu Yiyi opened more than a dozen pearl oysters on the seabed and finally found one that was slightly larger.
But none of them were as big as those won in the previous pearl diving competition.
Xu Yiyi had no choice but to continue searching.
……
"Is what you see true?"
On the small boat, the manager asked.
"Of course it's true. After the woman entered the water, she opened more than a dozen pearl shells, and none of them were empty."
The other girl with pearls floated on the water surface, holding the rope to breathe, and for some reason she felt a dislike for Xu Yiyi.
"Are we just going to let her pick pearls? Even though this seabed isn't privately owned, no one else has been here this whole time. The owner has long claimed this place as his own. If we let an outsider pick our pearls, wouldn't the owner be furious if he found out?"
Zhu Nu spoke tentatively, and the manager thought about it again and again.
She originally didn't intend to care because she had met Xu Yiyi before.
This person probably came to pick some beads out of interest, but he definitely wouldn't have targeted them.
But if she was left alone, her master would find out about it.
With such a stingy personality, she might get punished.
The person in charge thought about it and finally decided that it would be better to take charge.
"Just do your job well. I'll explain things to her when she comes up for air. But if you don't get any big pearls today, you'll probably be punished."
The steward's eyes swept over the two men's faces.
"It's not me who punishes you. My master asked me to do this, so I had no choice but to obey. The requirements are not high. You need to have at least five pearls that are larger than three inches. If you can't do it, you will be punished."
The manager snorted and shook his sleeves, looking like a powerful villain.
The two pearl girls looked at each other and wanted to refute.
But as a slave privately kept by a pearl merchant, he had to do whatever his master told him to do.
Not to mention pearls larger than three inches, even if they wanted something bigger, they would have no choice but to do it.
So they took a deep breath, held the rope tightly, and swam to the bottom of the sea in a hurry.
Xu Yiyi swam from the seabed to the coral reef, setting his sights on some larger pearl oysters.
Unfortunately, I am disappointed every time one is opened.
But she didn't know that the beads in her pocket were already very rare.
She stretched her slender fingers into the crevice of the reef and picked out the slightly open pearl oyster. At first glance, the pearl oyster looked quite large, but when it was opened, it was not much bigger.
The beads are pitifully small.
Xu Yiyi threw away the pearl oyster and continued searching.
On the same seabed, seven or eight pearl girls gathered together and watched Xu Yiyi's actions.
After a few people looked at each other, they understood what was in their minds.
Xu Yiyi noticed the gazes of several people and moved a little further away.
There are seven major pearl fields in the city, four are controlled by the government, two are controlled by the Hu family, and one is controlled by the Liu family, which is also the largest one among the seven.
The rest are areas where no one is in charge.
Either too dangerous or of little value.
Most of them are places where small businesses are looking for opportunities.
Originally, I wanted to go swimming in the sea area where I participated in the pearl diving competition, but I never expected that in such a short time, that sea area had been taken over by the government.
Only then did Xu Yiyi inquire.
Avoiding the seven major pearl fields, I came to this ownerless land.
No wonder no one cares.
There are more than ten miles of seabed, but not many big pearls were found.
Xu Yiyi frowned as he shuttled across the seabed, quickly opening one pearl oyster after another.
His movements were so skillful that even the pearl girls felt they could not match him.
She swam around the coral reef in a big circle and was about to leave.
The sharp-eyed one noticed something strange in the seaweed.
She pushed aside the swaying seaweed and took out a pearl oyster that was bigger than her head.
The seven or eight pearl girls looked at each other as they saw her disappear.
Swim towards the coral reef.
Xu Yiyi used a dagger to pry open the pearl oyster, separating the flesh that hid the pearl. A round pearl about an inch in size appeared, shining with a bright white light.
Xu Yiyi was overjoyed, holding the dagger in his mouth, and was about to put the beads into his pocket.
The seven or eight pearl girls attacked Xu Yiyi.
She put the beads into her pocket with her left hand and took out the pliers with her right hand.
She quickly and decisively grabbed the pearl girl closest to her.
The pain was so severe that the person subconsciously forgot that he was at the bottom of the sea and opened his mouth as if to scream.
Water instantly rushed into his mouth and nose.
It feels like countless needles piercing the throat.
The pearl girl pinched her neck with her eyes popping out, and the person floating beside her was shaking the rope tied around her waist frantically.
The girl who choked on the water was pulled up.
The remaining seven people were still staring at Xu Yiyi's pocket.
She closed the dagger and put it back on her waist, then looked at the few people calmly while holding the pliers.
This move was just to prevent the dagger from attracting sharks after hurting people, but these people acted as if Xu Yiyi looked down on them.
Still a little angry.
Zhu Nu wanted to hook Xu Yiyi's head with the fishing hook.
As a result, as soon as he stretched out his fishing rod, Xu Yiyi took it away.
The pliers used to pick up sea urchins were very accurate, grabbing the flesh on their faces, waists or chests.
It hurts. It really hurts.
Pain.
But there is a precedent, even if it hurts them, they are anxious to hold their breath.
Xu gave them a lecture one by one.
He turned around and swam towards the sea.
Zhu Nu reached out to pull it off, but only pulled off her hairband.
Her long hair instantly spread out and wrapped around her waist.
Xu Yiyi kicked the man hard with his long legs, sending him crashing heavily onto the coral reef.
Stepping lightly on the water, bubbles rose up in clusters beside her.
The fish surrounded him, as if protecting Xu Yiyi.
The girl with beads behind him was shaking the rope and looking at Xu Yiyi unwillingly.
After all the calculations, he gained nothing, but Xu Yiyi floated up with a lot of gains.
The moment she broke through the water, water droplets splashed from her body.
The boat carrying the pearl divers on the sea was staring at her.
"Mrs. Xu, let me tell you, you've come to the wrong place..."
The manager shouted at the top of his voice. Under his feet was the girl who was first choked by Xu Yiyi and came up to the surface with pearls.
After coming up, they exaggerated the story and said that Xu Yiyi had robbed them of the pearls they had collected underwater.
When the manager heard this, he decided to come.
If his master knew about this, he would be in big trouble.
Xu Yiyi climbed onto the boat on her own.
After sitting down, he replied.
"This seabed has no owner. Anyone can come here. Why can't I come here?"
When the manager heard this, his eyes rolled around.
"My master is planning to buy this place from the government, so you can't come. Please leave the beads behind. I'll be kind enough to plead with my master and I won't bother with you..."
Xu Yiyi chuckled, "If you're planning to buy it, then that means you haven't bought it yet. Wait until your master can produce the documents before you tell me about this."
After saying that, she rowed towards another sea area.
"Just forget it?"
……
Zhu Nu looked at Xu Yiyi's boat, then turned to look at the manager.
"What else? Don't think I don't know. I may not know the Xu family's eldest lady very well, but I know you all very well. You tried to steal someone's things underwater but couldn't beat them, so you come up here to complain. You're quite shameless..."
The manager shrugged, and the other seven people underwater just surfaced.
Hearing this, his face turned red and blue.
It's really beautiful.
