Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief
Chapter 287 Finding a Needle in a Haystack
A series of exclamations and screams immediately rose from the sea.
The violent struggle immediately attracted all the nearby sharks, who quickly surrounded the group, turning it into a buffet.
Murong Wei frowned, unable to bear watching any longer. She nestled against Xie Xiaoyi and turned to walk towards the bow of the boat.
She knew in her heart that Xie Xiaoyi was really angry because of the group's frivolous remarks, and she showed no mercy at all.
When he stepped on the boat just now, he must have secretly used his internal strength to break the entire frame of the boat.
Murong Wei turned her head, looked up at Xie Xiaoyi, and said softly, "Hmm, Xiaoyi, you really are ruthless..."
Xie Xiaoyi smiled, put his arm around her waist, and slid it down to her shapely buttocks, his tone relaxed:
"We're pretty much the same, aren't we? Those three girls teased me before, and you beat them up. Didn't I learn that from you?"
Murong Wei brushed his unruly hand away and pouted:
"I only beat up those three people, but you took the lives of this whole group."
"That's different..."
"Why is it different?"
"I'm a bit of a chauvinist. My wife is only allowed to be bullied by me, and no one else is allowed to disrespect her."
Male chauvinism?
Upon hearing this, Murong Wei deliberately teased him:
"What if I'm no longer your woman? Like, what if one day... I fall in love with someone else?"
Xie Xiaoyi stopped in his tracks, reached out and lifted her chin, smiling with narrowed eyes:
"Weiwei, if that day ever comes, I'll kill you and that adulterer!"
He was saying the harshest things in the gentlest tone.
Murong Wei looked at him, stopped joking, and said softly, "Xiao Yi, I will never betray you in this lifetime."
Xie Xiaoyi reached out and gently touched her cheek: "Then I'll spoil you rotten..."
Murong Wei felt a sweet warmth spread through her body, and she tiptoed and quickly kissed him on the cheek.
Xie Xiaoyi reached out and gently cupped her face, leaning down to return the kiss, when suddenly a shrill shout came from behind.
"Grandpa, please save me! Spare my life!"
It turned out to be one of the survivors among the group of sharks that had not yet been torn apart and eaten.
Xie Xiaoyi turned to look at him, and the man immediately roared, "Sir, save my life! We have a chest of gold on our ship!"
"It's all stolen! If you save my life, I'll give you that whole chest of gold!"
Xie Xiaoyi raised an eyebrow, intrigued: "Is there gold on the ship?"
"Yes! Yes! A whole box full... Really! If you save me, you can have it all!"
Xie Xiaoyi laughed heartily, his tone ruthless and casual:
"Save you? There's no need. Because even if I don't save you, that chest of gold will still be mine."
Upon hearing this, the man was immediately shocked and enraged, and began to curse loudly in the water, his words filled with foul language.
Xie Xiaoyi ignored him, casually flicked his wrist, and a burst of energy instantly knocked the man unconscious.
He then turned around and lowered the anchor, and the large ship slowly came to a stop on the sea.
Murong Wei looked at him: "What are you trying to do?"
Xie Xiaoyi smiled and pointed to the area in the distance where the shipwreck was located: "Didn't he say there was a box of gold? Of course we have to retrieve it."
Although we are carefree on Forget-Worry Island, we still need money for daily expenses!
Of the more than ten thousand taels of silver notes I had, only a few thousand taels remain now.
"With this chest of gold, I'll never have to worry about food or drink again."
Murong Wei immediately frowned and advised him, "Don't believe that person's nonsense. The sea is full of sharks, it's extremely dangerous!"
Besides, even if there really were a chest of gold, going down there would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xie Xiaoyi smiled slightly and stepped onto the ship's side.
Murong Wei's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Xiao Yi! What are you doing?"
"Let's go find a needle in a haystack!"
With a "plop," Xie Xiaoyi plunged into the sea, disappearing without a sound, as if he had always belonged to the deep sea.
His internal energy, which allows all streams to converge, has already reached its peak. His pores breathe naturally, and he doesn't need to hold his breath.
While he was exploring the seabed, a ferocious great white shark noticed the movement, opened its blood-red mouth, and lunged at him.
Xie Xiaoyi's heart stirred slightly, and his childlike spirit was rekindled.
He had watched "Animal World" before his time travel and knew that sharks were afraid of orcas and were also one of the orcas' diets.
One trick that killer whales use to hunt sharks is to exploit a weakness of sharks – forcing them to remain still.
If you manage to position the shark belly up and back down, it will enter a state of forced stillness and become unable to move.
Just as the shark opened its mouth to bite him, Xie Xiaoyi reached out and grabbed its head, secretly channeling his inner strength to flip it over—
The great white shark instantly flipped upside down, its body stiffened, and it became completely still, losing all its aggressiveness.
In a short while, he killed several sharks that had come running from the surrounding area.
One by one, they were turned belly up and lay motionless in the sea, looking like giant dried fish that had been acupunctured.
The seabed calmed down for a moment, and Xie Xiaoyi swam to the sunken ship of the Eight Eccentrics of the Coast using both his hands and feet.
Broken logs, shattered sails, and debris were scattered across the seabed, creating a chaotic scene.
Xie Xiaoyi channeled his inner energy into his eyes, his vision penetrating the seawater as he rapidly searched among the wreckage.
He flipped over the long logs, kicked away the debris, and with a burst of internal force, he sent the heavy wreckage flying with swift and decisive movements.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off. After about half an incense stick's time, a wooden box suddenly appeared before them.
Upon opening it, it was indeed the box of gold!
He smirked, grabbed the corner of the box with one hand, released his inner strength, and easily lifted the heavy wooden box over his head.
Xie Xiaoyi carried the golden chest and used its weight to stride forward on the seabed, heading towards his large ship.
Along the way, the sharks, seeing the unparalleled sword aura emanating from him, were all terrified and scattered, not daring to attack.
Soon, Xie Xiaoyi arrived at the foot of his own large ship.
However, carrying a golden chest weighing a thousand pounds, it was impossible for it to swim to the surface.
He had no choice but to loosen the box, break through the water alone, half his body floating on the surface, and shout loudly towards the ship:
"Weiwei, drop a rope down!"
Murong Wei was so worried that Xie Xiaoyi hadn't come out for a long time that she almost cried.
But she couldn't swim and could only anxiously wait on the boat. Just then, she heard Xie Xiaoyi's voice and quickly ran to the side of the boat:
"You scared me to death! Xiao Yi, are you alright? The box... was found?"
Xie Xiaoyi grinned: "Found it!"
Murong Wei was overjoyed and immediately grabbed the thick rope from the boat, throwing it down at him with all her might.
Xie Xiaoyi grabbed the rope and plunged back into the sea, securing the rope firmly to the golden wooden box.
After doing all this, he swam back to the surface, easily leaped onto the deck, and grabbed the rope with Murong Wei at the same time to pull himself up.
With Xie Xiaoyi's powerful internal energy, the thousand-pound golden box burst out of the water in the blink of an eye.
A box of gleaming gold was thus obtained.
