"How was it??? How did you feel about this place???" Turning her gaze away from Sun Fangfang's departing figure, Aunt Liu glanced at her niece and asked with a smile.

"Auntie, is this the Peach Blossom Spring?" Liu Nannan clearly remembered that there was a text called "The Peach Blossom Spring" in her middle school textbook. Could this place have some connection with that "Shangri-La"?

"That's one way to put it. This planet belongs to your sister Qingqing..." Aunt Liu smiled slightly. "This planet is purely for tourism. I'll take you around to see the scenery later..."

"Hmm..." Liu Nannan was very excited. It is said that people have a sense of curiosity. When it comes to the unknown, they are both afraid and deeply curious.

Aunt Liu led Liu Nannan to the town square. As soon as they entered the square, Liu Nannan was stunned. There were several huge dinosaurs of different species dozing in the square. From their huge nostrils, a lot of air was blowing out, making the square floor in front of their heads spotless.

"Shall we ride the dragon sightseeing or take a car sightseeing?" Aunt Liu asked with a smile.

"Riding dragons???" Liu Nannan snapped out of her daze, a hint of excitement in her eyes. She pointed at the several dozing giant beasts and asked, "Riding them???"

"That's right, they are all giant beasts native to this planet. See that dinosaur with big wings? That's the Sacred Dragon. It can carry people and fly in the sky. I've ridden in it once, and it was pretty good..." The first dinosaur that Aunt Liu introduced to her niece was the first one they encountered after arriving on this planet.

"You can fly???" Liu Nannan swallowed hard, imagining the feeling of riding a giant beast through the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic. Then, thinking about the feeling of falling from the sky on the back of a giant beast... she couldn't help but shudder...

"How about it, do you want to ride it? Right now, it's the fastest..." Aunt Liu said.

"No, no, no, I have acrophobia..." Liu Nannan shook her head repeatedly.

"You have a fear of heights??? I've never seen you afraid when you go hiking before???" Aunt Liu raised an eyebrow, glanced at her niece, "You're not afraid of them, are you??? Don't worry, they were all cultivated by your brother Yang using biochemical equipment. They're very obedient and won't hurt anyone. You don't need to be afraid..."

"How could that be??? Why would I be afraid???" Liu Nannan quickly said.

She wasn't afraid of the giant beasts themselves, but rather afraid that she might lose her grip high in the air...

"Then let's get in the car..." Aunt Liu thought her niece was afraid of these giant beasts, but was just putting on a brave face.

So, Aunt Liu waved her hand, and immediately a cyborg girl drove up in a motorhome. The aunt and niece got into the vehicle, which then turned a corner and headed out of town.

"This planet has a wonderful environment, abundant natural resources, and a wide variety of fascinating plants and animals..." Driving on a smooth, wide road, with dappled sunlight filtering through the trees on both sides, Aunt Liu smiled as she introduced the situation on Weijia Star to her niece. "Your sister Qingqing is a lazy and enjoyable person, so she developed this place into a tourist planet, where she can travel around whenever she has free time..."

"Auntie, where are we going now???" Liu Nannan's eyes were dazzled. One moment a rodent the size of a piglet darted out from the roadside, craned its neck to look at the RV, and then scurried back into the woods. The next moment a giant, two-meter-tall, colorful bird landed on a tree. Seeing the RV approach, it suddenly took flight but didn't run away. After the RV had passed, it fluttered its wings and landed. Then, a tree suddenly opened up with a large gash, from which golden, sweet honey flowed out, forming a small stream that flowed into a small depression, creating a small lake...

Everything looked incredibly fantastical, and Liu Nannan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise whenever she saw these strange plants and animals.

"I'll take you to the beach. It's half a day's walk east from Weijia Town to the Golden Coast. The beach there is a kilometer wide and three hundred kilometers long..." Aunt Liu said.

"Oh..." Liu Nannan was quite interested in the sea. Although she had seen it on TV, she had never been there. In addition, she had seen a video of Xiao Bao playing on the beach last year, and she had a vague desire to go to the beach someday.

As noon approached, the interior of the RV suddenly lit up, and the view through the windows immediately opened up. It turned out that the RV had left the forest and entered the beach.

Through the car window, the golden sand, the azure sky, and the shimmering blue sea that meets the sky... immediately came into view. All of this could only be described with two words: vast.

The sound of the crashing waves, the soft cries of the seagulls, and the occasional call of the dolphins immediately gave people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

"How is it???" Looking at her slightly excited niece, Aunt Liu smiled slightly, "Pretty, isn't it???"

"Hmm..." Liu Nannan nodded emphatically, "It looks even better than in the video..."

"Silly girl, the beaches on Earth can't compare to this..." Aunt Liu chuckled.

"Hehe..." Liu Nannan smiled shyly.

"We'll change into our swimsuits in a bit, and then the two of us will go for a swim in the sea..." said Aunt Liu.

"Hmm..." Liu Nannan nodded heavily.

The road extends all the way to the edge of the beach and connects with a small pier. One end of the pier is perpendicular to the road in front of a three-story beach villa, and the RV turns directly into the villa.

"This is your sister Qingqing's private villa. Men are not allowed to enter. Even your brother Yang can't come in..." Aunt Liu pushed open the car door and pulled Liu Nannan into the villa's living room.

The villa was fully equipped and decorated in a luxurious and grand style. The mother and daughter entered the house, took off their shoes, and stepped on the carpet with their two pairs of white and tender feet. The feeling was soft and smooth, just like stepping on the back of a sable. The maids who stayed here immediately served them tea and drinks.

"Prepare two swimsuits for me..." Aunt Liu said, taking a big gulp of her drink.

"Yes..." The maid bowed quickly and turned to fetch the swimsuit.

"Auntie, you're really amazing..." Having witnessed Aunt Liu's imposing presence, Liu Nannan gave her a thumbs-up and said admiringly.

"Pfft..." Aunt Liu chuckled, "You little rascal, you've got some flattery skills now???"

"What?! I've never patted Auntie's butt..." Liu Nannan cried out, accusing herself of being wronged.

"You want a beating, don't you???" Aunt Liu's eyes widened, and she laughed and cursed, "You little brat, are you calling me a horse???"

"I'm innocent..." Liu Nannan cried out loudly.

"Hmph..." Aunt Liu snorted, deciding not to argue with Liu Nannan anymore. "Remember this later, when you go into the water, you must wear a swimming ring, otherwise if a wave hits you, you won't be able to get back up for a long time, and it could be dangerous..."

"Okay..." Liu Nannan replied obediently.

"Second Madam, these are the swimsuits you requested..." The maid came over carrying two swimsuits and handed them to Aunt Liu.

"I'm entrusting the child to you. Give him milk when he's hungry..." Aunt Liu shoved little Yang Feng into the maid's arms, then tossed one of the swimsuits to her niece and immediately began to undress and change.

Liu Nannan was initially a little embarrassed. After all, undressing in front of strangers was unsettling. But seeing her aunt confidently strip naked and put on a swimsuit, she gritted her teeth and started undressing herself. Didn't they say men weren't allowed here? We're all women, what's there to be afraid of?

"I didn't expect our little Nan Nan to have such a great figure..." After Liu Nan Nan changed into her swimsuit, Aunt Liu smiled and looked Liu Nan Nan up and down, then took her hand and walked outside.

"Auntie has such a great figure..." Liu Nannan glanced at her aunt's curvaceous and slender figure, her face flushed, and said.

The mother and daughter left the villa, where a clever maid had already set up a deck chair, a parasol, and several colorful swimming rings. Next to the deck chair was a small freezer. Aunt Liu led Liu Nannan over there.

"I've been busy all day, my bones are sore. I'll rest here for a while. You can do whatever you want..." Aunt Liu lay down on the recliner, casually took an ice cream from the freezer, tore off the wrapper, and started eating.

"Oh..." Liu Nannan longed for the sea, so she immediately put on a swimming ring and went into the sea.

"So cold..." As soon as Liu Nannan's little feet touched the seawater, she felt a bone-chilling coldness creep up her feet and into her heart. Even the hairs on her body stood on end. She immediately cried out in surprise and jumped up.

"Hahaha..." Aunt Liu was amused. "Did you get chilled? You'll get used to it..."

"It's so cool..." Liu Nannan stood on the beach, looking surprised. As the seawater washed over her and was about to reach her feet, she quickly stepped back. After the seawater receded, she took a few steps forward, following the rapidly seeping water, and felt the coolness on the soles of her feet.

Watching Liu Nannan chasing the waves on the beach, Liu's wife revealed a mischievous smile. She quietly got up from the deck chair and tiptoed towards Liu Nannan. The beach was covered in fine sand, and unless you were listening carefully, you would never hear someone approaching.

Aunt Liu came up behind Liu Nannan and gently pushed her back...

"what……"

Liu Nannan screamed and fell into the sea with a "plop," her whole body soaked. Fortunately, she was wearing a swimming ring around her waist, so she didn't swallow too much seawater.

"Auntie, you're so naughty..." Liu Nannan struggled for a while before she finally steadied herself, wiped the water droplets off her face, and splashed the seawater with her little hands towards Aunt Liu.

"Giggle giggle..." Aunt Liu giggled and ran back to the deck chair, eating ice cream while watching Liu Nannan splashing around in the water.

"Hmph..." Seeing that she hadn't managed to splash any seawater onto her aunt after all that effort, Liu Nannan was discouraged. The main problem was that the water was just too much fun, so she had no interest in playing with her aunt.

Wearing a swimming ring, she floated on the sea surface. She could feel her body being pulled towards the shore by the seawater, while her lower body was being pulled into the depths of the ocean...

The seawater is exceptionally pure. From above, you can see the fine sand on the seabed through the seawater, and even the tail movements of some small fish can be clearly seen.

"Huh???" Liu Nannan suddenly felt something hard poke her toe. Looking down, she saw a large, colorful scallop. She bent down and picked it up.

"Auntie, I caught a big scallop..." Liu Nannan proudly showed off to her aunt while holding the big scallop.

"A scallop???" Aunt Liu turned her head and saw that her niece was holding a scallop the size of a football. She waved to her and said, "Bring it up here, let's open it and see if there are any pearls inside..." As she spoke, she sat up.

"Oh..." Liu Nannan, holding the scallop, ran up excitedly to her aunt, placed the scallop at her aunt's feet, and squatted down herself, touching the scallop with her little hands.

"They're quite big..." Aunt Liu looked at the scallops at her feet and was also intrigued.

"Auntie, this scallop looks like the ones on Earth..." Liu Nannan said excitedly, tilting her little face up.

"Your brother Yang has released sharks and dolphins into the sea, but not shellfish. Shellfish reproduce too quickly, and releasing them would easily damage the current environment. However, shellfish should all be similar, right? Shellfish on Earth are all kinds of strange and wonderful things..." Aunt Liu said.

"Yeah, that's true..." Liu Nannan responded, looking down at the large scallop. "How do we open it???"

"Let's break it open..." Aunt Liu said, and immediately started working. Her small hands gripped the gap between the two shells of the scallop, and with a forceful pull, a "snap" was heard, and the large scallop was broken open.

"Wow..." Liu Nannan was stunned, her little face full of admiration. She gave her aunt a thumbs up, "Auntie, you're so amazing...so awesome..."

"Get out of here..." Aunt Liu blushed upon hearing her niece's words. "If you keep talking nonsense, you won't get any pearls..."

"I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore..." Liu Nannan quickly shut her mouth.

The mother and daughter lowered their heads and looked at the scallops with their open shells. Inside the scallops, the meat was plump and tender, with round protrusions of different sizes in the tender meat.

"See that??? There's a pearl inside..." Aunt Liu excitedly pointed out the round protrusion to her niece.

"So many... there must be... thirty..." Liu Nannan quickly counted the round protrusions and said in surprise.

"Such a big scallop, thirty pearls would be normal..." Now, Aunt Liu's horizons have broadened considerably, and she really doesn't care about these pearls.

"How did you dig it out???" Liu Nannan asked expectantly.

"Stupid..." Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at her niece, "Your aunt is so smart, how come you, her niece, are so silly???"

"Auntie, you're bullying me again..." Liu Nannan pouted and glared at her aunt.

"You're just too clumsy, aren't you? Are you afraid of what people say?" Aunt Liu chuckled, pressing her finger on the largest, round protrusion. "Today I'll teach you how to dig for pearls..." As she spoke, she used her fingernail to make a large cut in the tender flesh at the edge of the protrusion, and then gently squeezed it. A large, dark pearl was squeezed out. This black pearl, about the size of a table tennis ball, was definitely a fine piece.

"Wow..." Liu Nannan's heart was completely filled with surprise and joy. "Black pearls! It's black pearls! Auntie, we're rich..."

"You country bumpkin... you bumpkin..." Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at her niece disdainfully. "A single black pearl makes you this happy???"

"Who's acting like a rich woman like you??? I'm just a poor student..." Liu Nannan took the black pearl, placed it in her palm, and carefully played with it.

"You brat..." Aunt Liu glared at her niece and dug out the rest of the pearls one by one, but no more black pearls appeared.

"Auntie, how much are these pearls worth?" Liu Nannan's eyes lit up as she looked at the pearls.

"At least ten million, and if it sells well, over a hundred million is no problem..." Aunt Liu said, glancing at the black pearl.

"Oh my god..." Liu Nannan felt surrounded by happiness. "I am the luckiest person in the world. I can step on a pile of RMB just by taking a bath in the sea..." In her eyes, the thirty pearls in front of her had long since turned into bundles of RMB.

"What a pathetic sight..." Aunt Liu curled her lip in disdain. "It's just a few pearls, right? Do you know how many pearls your sister Qingqing has? Her pearls are piled up like a mountain, smaller than a pool ball. She wouldn't even look at them..."

"Wow..." Liu Nannan was shocked and skeptical. "Auntie, are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me???"

"Why would I lie to you???" Aunt Liu rolled her eyes. "Your sister Qingqing has so much jewelry that you can't even count it all. Diamonds smaller than eggs, mutton-fat jade smaller than fists, jadeite smaller than duck eggs—she wouldn't even glance at them, and the jadeite has to be glassy..."

"Sister Qingqing is amazing..." Liu Nannan exclaimed sincerely.

When a woman reaches this point, all that's left for other women is envy, jealousy, and resentment...

"Actually, the ones your sister Qingqing didn't pick out are all good materials. If you like them, I'll take you to pick out a few when we go back..." Aunt Liu said.

"Really???" Liu Nannan's voice trembled, purely from excitement.

"You..." Looking at her niece, who was practically jumping up and down with excitement, Aunt Liu shook her head slightly. "Is it really necessary???"

Having control over the resources of 500 planets, plus several trading planets, it wouldn't be difficult for Wei Qingqing to obtain any kind of gemstone she desired. With a mere command, all the resources would converge before her. Perhaps upon first seeing those beautiful gemstones, she might feel excited, considering which gemstone to use for a necklace, a bracelet, or a ring face. But when a mountain of gemstones accumulated…

Who would like a pile of rotten rocks? Pick out a few big, pretty ones and play with them...

When you stand at a different height, your perspective naturally changes.

"Why wouldn't it be like that???" Liu Nannan pouted and glared at her aunt. "Every woman likes to adorn herself with jewelry..."

"Covered in jewels???" Aunt Liu was stunned. She imagined Wei Qingqing with a hairpin as thick as an arm in her hair, a necklace heavier than shackles around her neck, bracelets heavier than handcuffs on her wrists, and anklets heavier than leg irons... Thinking of this, Aunt Liu shook her head with disgust and said with unusual seriousness, "I guarantee your sister Qingqing absolutely doesn't like wearing jewels, and neither do I..."
