"Let's swim a little first," Yu Dong turned to the two mers who were following after her, she wanted to see how good the two of them were before taking them any deeper in the ocean, lest their legs started to cramp while they were swimming it will be too dangerous. The ocean was calm at the moment but Yu Dong would rather be cautious than let any dangerous situation happen which was why she suggested that they swam first near the shore before going any deeper.
" You two take a lap around this boulder and then we will see whether we can go any further or not," after she spoke she slowly descended into the ocean. The ocean was very gentle with only ripples on the surface, Yu Dong warned the dangerous sea creatures to stay away from this area while tracing the smaller ones that were far away from here.
She wanted to eat some salmon and mackerels but those fishes could not be found in this country without any decent export or import system, which was why she had to send out her spiritual energy to attract those fishes first. While the three of them were having fun, Yu Dong was sure that with her spiritual energy, the fish that she wanted would come swimming here as fast as they can with the spiritual energy.
Though the water was cold with Yu Dong's spiritual energy covering for them neither Xiao Hua nor Ye Liu felt cold, the two of them slipped down into the water and then just as Yu Dong said, they swam in a circle before they came out of the water, Yu Dong continued to follow them since she was worried that something will happen to the two of them. But after seeing that the two were fine and knew how to swim, she sighed in relief just as Xiao Hua proudly said, " You see? We are really good at swimming. There is no need for you to worry, there are not many people here we should get under the ocean and enjoy some diving lest someone comes, I don't want to be entangled in a fight with them."
Yu Dong nodded at them and then said, " All right then you can follow me." As she spoke, Yu Dong swam further into the ocean and then suddenly plunged into the ocean, she did not come over the surface for a long time causing the two mers to panic. The two busily looked around the ocean's surface but could not summon the courage to dive inside the water, just as fear started to settle in their hearts as Ye Liu worried about what he was going to tell his brothers while Xiao Hua was on the verge of crying——
Yu Dong who was fluttering under the surface popped out behind them causing a gush of cold water to trickle down their spines.
" You two why did you not come down?" Yu Dong asked as she looked at the two mers who looked like they were going to cry any second and blinked her eyes. " Eh, what's wrong? Ouch, what was that for?"
She grimaced when Ye Liu smacked her on the back of her head and then scolded her heavily, " You … how can you do something so scary? You should have at least given us a warning or even told us how we need to go down the surface, do you think we were going to just dive?"
" Okay, stop hitting me!" Yu Dong seemed to have realised that she missed a crucial part and that was to tell the two how to dive, she thought that the two would follow just after her since they knew how to swim but looks like they only knew the basic skills. Now she was back to worrying, hoping that these two will be fine.
Yu Dong taught the two how to dive as she patiently explained everything to them fortunately the two were good at following steps and soon they were able to dive without needing Yu Dong's help and since she was helping them in breathing with her spiritual energy they did not come out of the water for a very long time.
Seeing this Yu Dong shook her head as she muttered, " Who was the one who got angry when I plunged into the water and did not surface just now?" After she finished speaking she too plunged into the water.
As soon as Yu Dong dived under the surface, she was able to see the reefs clearly since the water of this time was clean and clear, occasionally she would catch glances of fish that would swim past them and the small crabs that were able to escape when she was hunting for them also drilled themselves into the sand. Yu Dong enjoyed this sight that was in front of her very much, she had only seen such a clear ocean when she was in her own world on the computer screen when she used to surf the Internet thinking about what the world was before the apocalypse looked like. Then she rushed after the two mers who were looking around the surface of the ocean, she saw Ye Liu motion them to come over the surface and nodded before following the latter up.
"What's wrong?" Yu Dong asked as soon as her head appeared on the surface of the water.
" There is nothing to harvest." Ye Liu shook his head with disappointment. He was looking forward to this abalone thing that his wife was talking about earlier but he could not see it in fact except for some small fishes he could not see anything.
If this was before Ye Liu would have been really excited to see the small fishes as well but now that he knew there were many good things in this world he wanted to explore them all!
Yu Dong was amused by his reaction, she softly laughed and then said, " Maybe it's because we are still close to the shore, do you want to dive deeper? I am sure that if we go further from the shore then we will find something good."
When Ye Liu heard that Yu Dong wanted to dive deeper, he was a bit worried, he looked at her and asked, " But what if we drown? We can't breathe under the surface of the water!"
Upon hearing this Yu Dong smiled at him mysteriously and then said, " You do not need to worry about that."
