When the Black Pearl was taken out, the surrounding seawater rippled visibly to the naked eye.

Gu Junbai didn’t hesitate to throw the Black Pearl into the Coral Cave.

Then, he focused intently on the entrance of the cave.

A minute passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed...

Gu Junbai knew something was wrong. He quickly swam towards the entrance of the Coral Cave and saw that the Black Pearl was suspended in the center of the entrance, with nothing else there.

If he remembered correctly, Yun Luo should be right here.

But there was no one here.

He searched around again and then checked.

Since this was seawater, not his area of expertise, there were some places where his Spiritual Energy and talismans couldn’t be used. But even so, he vaguely sensed that the aura of Yun Luo had been absent for many years.

This meant Yun Luo had left here nearly a hundred years ago.

Gu Junbai remained calm, but his brows furrowed slightly. He then picked up the Black Pearl, looked around to confirm that there was no trace of Yun Luo’s aura, and without turning back, floated to the sea surface.

Meanwhile, Qin Yize and Ling Nan were having a great time fishing; they had already caught five big fish, enough for their meal and even some to take home.

Among them, there were two of the most delicious fish in the sea, including a Bluefin Tuna.

Furthermore, one of them was a very precious Bluefin Tuna.

This Bluefin Tuna seemed to have lived for many years, roughly estimated to be about three meters long. It is said that the longest can grow up to 4.3 meters, and this Bluefin Tuna weighs at least a hundred kilograms.

Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to catch it.

Without strong tools, one might even be dragged into the sea by this big fish.

But Qin Yize, with the help of the powerfully strong Ling Nan, easily pulled the Bluefin Tuna up. When the fish was brought up, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t recognize it at first; after learning about it, she discovered that this type of tuna is incredibly delicious and supposedly the most expensive.

Whether eaten raw or cooked, the taste is extremely delightful.

However, she couldn’t taste it.

Because Qin Yize carefully removed the fishhook, patted the large fish head, and then lifted the struggling Bluefin Tuna and tossed it back into the sea.

Then he explained to the two astonished people behind him, "This species is becoming increasingly rare."

Oh, so that’s why.

Gu Qiaoqiao pointed at another fish, which was smaller, about a meter long and seemed to weigh over 50 pounds, and asked, "Ah Ze, can we eat this one?"

She had never eaten tuna before.

Qin Yize nodded happily, "This species has a large population and extremely strong reproductive capability. It’s edible."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought about the recipes in her mind, "Let’s make sashimi for lunch."

The other three fish were quite ordinary, including one yellow croaker for steaming, which tasted absolutely delicious as well.

Just then, a sound came from the sea surface.

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly turned around and saw Gu Junbai floating on the surface of the sea.

Qin Yize put down the fish in his hands and quickly walked to the side of the boat, swiftly lowering the soft ladder.

Gu Junbai didn’t immediately return to the yacht; he gestured to Qin Yize, who understood what Gu Junbai wanted to do.

So Qin Yize quietly waited by the side of the boat.

At this time, Ling Nan had already placed the few fish into a large iron barrel.

He stood next to Qin Yize, looking towards the sea; by now, Gu Junbai had swum away again, and his figure was gone from the surface.

Apparently, he hadn’t found the object or person he was searching for.

By now, it was almost noon. Gu Qiaoqiao took Ling Nan to the yacht’s small kitchen; judging by Gu Junbai’s appearance, he wasn’t returning immediately, and they all needed to have lunch, especially since Gu Qiaoqiao’s little baby in her belly needed to eat.

Of course, the child’s soon-to-be dad Qin Yize knew this, so he skillfully monitored the sea while starting to prepare the fish.

The yacht was equipped with a generator, allowing them to cook rice using an electric rice cooker.

This makes things much easier.

Gu Qiaoqiao took a glance at the kitchen, which was stocked with all kinds of seasonings.

After rinsing the rice, she placed it in the rice cooker, added the appropriate amount of water, set the function, and left the rice cooker alone.

Meanwhile, Qin Yize and Ling Nan continued preparing the fish.

After chopping green onions, ginger, and garlic, Gu Qiaoqiao found herself with nothing much left to do, so she leisurely wandered outside.

Standing on the boat’s side, she noticed the faint silhouette of Gu Junbai on the sea surface. He had already swum so far away; what was he looking for?

It was really strange.

But clearly, he hadn’t found anything in this part of the seabed earlier.

On the deck, there were two fish left, and Qin Yize didn’t bother dealing with them, leaving them in a bucket of water. They would take them back to their small yard in the evening.

The two washed their hands, but the distant sea surface remained still, and Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize exchanged a glance, still a bit worried inside.

Just then, the sea surface in the distance stirred, and Gu Qiaoqiao quickly looked over and saw Gu Junbai swimming back. He seemed fine, but he was still alone and hadn’t found what he was looking for.

Though she could see Gu Junbai clearly, because he wore a face mask, his facial expression was indiscernible.

Gu Junbai climbed the soft ladder, got off the yacht, removed his mask and breathing tube, then let out a sigh. His expression was calm, obviously unaffected emotionally.

Did he find what he was looking for?

Seeing everyone watching him, Gu Junbai finally spoke up, "I have a friend here, but she’s missing."

So that’s what’s going on.

Gu Qiaoqiao blurted out, "Is it a man or a woman?"

Gu Junbai glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao with a half-smile, "You curious little girl?"

Gu Qiaoqiao giggled, "Uncle, I’m just concerned for you."

"Then I should thank you for your concern."

"No thanks needed, Uncle, just tell me what you’re looking for?"

Gu Qiaoqiao was really curious, and since she had asked, she decided to get to the bottom of it.

Qin Yize pulled Gu Qiaoqiao over, smiling, "Qiaoqiao, let uncle change his clothes first; it’s already noon, let’s have lunch."

Gu Junbai reached out, lightly tapped Gu Qiaoqiao’s forehead, but agreed, "I’ll tell you after lunch, don’t worry."
