My fiancée Yukino

Mai asked curiously, "Has Luo-kun been down there for quite a while? Yukino, is he really that good at holding his breath?"

Shaking her head, Yukino said, "He probably hasn't studied diving, but the timing is indeed a bit unexpected."

"It's actually quite simple. He's not just holding his breath," Lucoa said with a smile. "Little White is using his superpowers to create a transparent, helmet-like membrane around his head, constantly drawing oxygen from the water to add to it for breathing. It's just that we can't see it much from the surface. How about you guys try it out? I can easily do the same thing with magic!"

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Lucoa used her magic to easily put transparent helmets on everyone, and then led them all underwater.

The underwater world is indeed completely different from what you see on the surface; it's a completely different experience.

Furthermore, after we started diving, Lucoa used magic to open a voice channel for everyone, so there was no need to worry about not being able to communicate underwater.

"Ah! Little shrimp!"

Upon seeing a shrimp resting on the seabed, several little creatures excitedly swam over, but before they could get close, the alert shrimp sprang away.

Underwater, the little creatures hadn't yet adapted to how to use breathing techniques, and since they didn't know how to breathe underwater, they couldn't move faster. They could only watch helplessly as the little shrimp disappeared from sight.

At this moment, Luo Bai saw everyone go into the water, and then swam back, holding a huge seashell in one of his hands.

Upon seeing the seashell, Yukino swam over, examined it for a moment, and then asked, "Is this edible?"

“It’s not for eating,” Luo Bai shook his head and said. “When I saw it just now, the shell was open, and there seemed to be a pearl inside, so I picked it up.”

Wild pearls?

This piqued Yukino's interest, as did the others, who all gathered around. Although they were all familiar with pearls, they had never seen a pearl inside a shell before.

Mai asked excitedly, "Shall we go up and open the seashells?"

"It doesn't need to be that complicated."

As he spoke, Luo Bai used his superpowers to slowly open the tightly closed seashell, revealing the inside, and then used telekinesis to reach inside.

In no time, he took out the pearls stored inside.

As for the seashell, Luo Bai released it back to the seabed, sparing the little life.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the large, translucent pearl in Luo Bai's hand, which was nearly ten centimeters in diameter.

"So beautiful!"

Hoshino Ai blinked her starry eyes and exclaimed in amazement, "It's even more beautiful than some pearl necklaces I've seen displayed by jewelers!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "After all, no one has ever been here before, and we don't know how long this shell has been alive, so it's quite possible that it has such a big pearl. However, I didn't expect it to be this big. Okay, let's put this one aside for now and look around again later. Maybe we can find some more shells with pearls."

After putting the pearl back into the bracelet, Luo Bai joined everyone in swimming leisurely in the sea.

Over the next half hour, everyone searched for many more seashells and indeed found quite a few pearls among them, but none of them were as big as the ones Luo Bai had found the first time.

However, no one was after the value of the pearls; they just wanted a souvenir. So, after everyone had collected a few good quality pearls, they stopped messing with the shells and returned to the surface.

Luo Bai weighed the nearly half-meter-long sea fish he had just caught on the way in his hand and said with a smile, "Lucoya, are you sure this fish is edible?"

"Sure, it tastes pretty good, whether it's grilled fish or sashimi."

After receiving Lucoa's affirmative answer, Luo Bai said to everyone, "Then, let's have this as our food for tonight. I'll go catch a few more."

After freezing the fish in his hand and handing it to Yukino, Luo Bai dived back into the water.

Because there were many people, he didn't swim too far. Now he can swim further out to identify the marine species in this nearshore area.

Volume 1: Chapter 279 Preparing Dinner (1/2)

When Luo Bai returned to shore after another half hour, carrying a bunch of fresh abalone, Xiao Lin, Tohru, and Kanna also arrived.

All three changed into swimsuits. Tohru naturally wore a bikini that accentuated her figure, Kobayashi wore a one-piece swimsuit, and Kanna wore an adorable children's swimsuit.

Seeing Luo Bai bring up a pile of abalone, Kanna immediately ran over excitedly.

"what is this?"

"This is abalone, it's delicious! We'll have this for dinner."

"Oh!!!"

Kanna happily raised her hands and cheered, then ran towards the sea.

After storing the abalone in an ice bucket under the parasol, Luo Bai looked at Xiao Lin and Thor and asked, "Did you find the waterfall when you were looking for it?"

"Found it." Xiaolin nodded with a smile. "It's a huge waterfall, and the spring water there is so clear and refreshing, it feels like you could drink it straight from there."

"This place is pristine and there shouldn't be any major problems. However, if you want to drink it, you should find a water source upstream. After all, who knows what wild animals and fish might leave in the water?"

The girls who were playing volleyball just now came over and were very curious after hearing what Xiaolin said.

Mai touched her skin, which was a little sticky from swimming in the sea, and said, "How about we go take a bath over there later? I was just discussing with Shiho what we're going to do about taking a bath tonight!"

Yukino nodded in agreement: "If the water quality is good, we can definitely take a shower there. Why don't we go check it out now? It's almost 3 p.m. After showering, we can rest a bit and then prepare dinner."

"Go go go! Time to take a shower!"

Haruno cheered, then grabbed Yukino's hand and followed the direction Kobayashi pointed to, heading towards the waterfall.

Mai also pulled Hoshino Ai, who was already used to wearing a swimsuit in front of Luo Bai, and followed in Haruno's footsteps.

Before leaving, she turned to Luo Bai and said, "Luo Jun, don't follow me, there are other people here too!"

Luo Bai smiled helplessly: "I know, I know, they won't come, but you all need to take care of yourselves."

"Don't worry, Ren is here!"

Shinobu Kocho walked past Luo Bai, showing off her Nichirin Blade, and chuckled, "Don't worry, there are no other large wild beasts here. With Kanao and me, that's enough."

"Okay, then you guys go ahead, I'll organize the ingredients I've collected."

After Yukino and the others left, Luo Bai sat down on the recliner and opened the ice bucket to check the afternoon's harvest.

Before the inventory was even finished, we heard a sound like an explosion coming from the sea ahead.

Looking up, I saw that little Kanna was riding on the back of a shark, galloping freely across the sea.

"..."

After watching for a while, Luo Bai broke out in a cold sweat and asked Thor, who was eager to try, "How far did Conna run? I didn't see any sharks on the seabed just now."

Thor said happily, "It was found about five nautical miles away. I guess Kanna thought the little fish were boring, so she went a bit further away. Kanna! Don't break it, let me ride it too. Come on, Kobayashi, let's go ride sharks together!"

"Ugh?"

Before Kobayashi could react, Thor grabbed him and pulled him towards the sea.

"Wait a minute, I don't want to go!!!"

Along with Xiaolin's scream, Luo Bai couldn't help but laugh.

Although Xiaolin looked flustered, Luo Bai knew she was used to it and probably even enjoyed it.

With Thor, such a source of joy, it's hard not to be happy in life.

After taking a sip of his chilled cola, Luo Bai continued to count the seafood.

"Well, that's a good haul, but we have a lot of people, so we need to look for some more. Since Kanna saw a shark so far away, it means there should be even bigger fish if we go a little further out. Let's go look for them."

Without hesitation, Luo Bai flew towards where Kanna and the others were, and then plunged into the sea.

About an hour later, when Yukino and the others returned after taking a bath, they found that only Kobayashi and Tohru were there, while Lobo and Kanna were nowhere to be seen.

Shi Yu asked, "Where did Luo Jun and Kanna go?"

Pointing to the sea, Thor said, "Lobai said there weren't enough ingredients, so he went with Kanna to a more distant place to find some bigger fish. They should be back soon."

As they were talking, everyone saw Luo Bai and Kang Na fly out from under the water, each holding a sea fish that was over a meter long and that they didn't recognize.

Carrying the large fish back to the beach, Luo Bai said with a smile, "You're back! How's the fish?"

Shinobu Kocho came over and observed it for a while before saying, "It looks a bit like a sea bream, but it's also different. Sea bream usually don't grow this big."

Luo Bai nodded and said, "It's definitely not sea bream, but it's fish from another world, so don't take it too seriously. As long as it tastes good. These two fish, plus the fish, shrimp, abalone, and vegetables we caught this afternoon, should be enough for a sumptuous seafood feast. Ren, please take care of this fish first. I'm going to take a shower."

Shinobu Kocho happily said, "Okay, go ahead. I'm quite interested in dealing with such a big fish!"

After handing the fish to Shinobu Kocho, Luo Bai went...

I took a shower.

Arriving at the waterfall, the scenery was indeed beautiful, and the water was very clear. Downstream, Luo Bai even saw several squirrels drinking water in a group.

Luo Bai didn't disturb the small animals. He went to the area above the waterfall, took a quick shower, and changed into a new pair of swimming trunks.

After taking a shower, Luo Bai shook his hair and said comfortably, "Ah, it feels so good to take a shower in a place like this."

Feeling refreshed after the bath, Luo Bai returned directly to his residence.

Everyone has returned by now and is working together to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

Even Hoshino Ai huddled next to Kocho Shinobu, learning how to clean abalone, then making a few slits and spreading garlic chili sauce on it.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Hoshino Ai waved happily and said, "Brother Luo Bai, come quick, we're processing abalone!"

Luo Bai walked over with a smile and asked, "How is it? The meat of these abalone should be quite thick, and they're not tough either."

Hoshino Ai nodded, her mouth watering, and said, "I've never eaten this before. It looks delicious."

Although Hoshino Ai's popularity has increased, she is not yet extremely wealthy. Moreover, as an idol, unless she comes to Luo Bai and the others, her diet is strictly regulated.

Hoshino Ai was naturally very excited to be able to eat so freely.

It's only been a few days, and she already feels like she's turning into a foodie.

Volume 1: Chapter 280 The Battle After Dinner (2/2)

After taking a shower, Luo Bai joined in preparing dinner.

Since we were on vacation, everyone participated in the process of preparing dinner. Those who were good at cooking helped the head chefs, while those who weren't so good at it went around collecting firewood.

Time passed slowly, the sun gradually set, and under the setting sun, everyone finally finished their dinner.

Two large pots of fish soup, abalone with garlic chili sauce, a huge grilled fish, skewers of grilled shrimp, and of course, a must-have vegetable salad – this is tonight's sumptuous dinner.

Although it's certainly much simpler than what you'd make at home, the natural setting still makes it feel novel and interesting.

Moreover, this time they brought a full range of seasonings, and the taste wasn't bad at all.

Luo Bai picked up a piece of grilled fish and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, although this fish is very big, the meat is still very good. It has been marinated for the right time and is very flavorful."

After taking a bite, Luo Bai noticed that Shi Yu was tugging at his arm and opening her mouth towards him.

"Luo Jun, let me have a taste too!"

Luo Bai nodded and picked up a piece to feed Shi Yu.

After eating it, Shiyu nodded in satisfaction: "Mmm, it's really good!"

After eating some grilled fish, everyone divided up the steamed abalone.

Two abalone per person may not seem like much, but these abalone are quite large, and there's definitely enough for everyone.

Although it was all seafood, the ingredients were all very fresh, so everyone enjoyed the meal and finished it all in a lively atmosphere.

And you don't have to worry about not being able to finish it, there are three dragons here, so you can eat as much as you want, even two or three times more than you can finish it.

After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Luo Bai had the leisure to brew some tea, sipping it while gazing at the starry night sky.

After playing with the little butterflies that Kanna had caught for a while, Thor stood up, looked at Luo Bai, and said, "Luo Bai, come on, let's do some post-dinner exercise. You promised me you'd have a good competition with me!"

Seeing Thor's insistence on fighting now, Luo Bai didn't refuse and simply put down his cup and stood up.

"Okay, then where should we fight? It can't be on the island, right?"

"Let's go to the sea!"

With that, Thor excitedly soared into the sky.

Luo Bai stretched his body, then leaped up and caught up with Thor.

Yukino looked at Lucoa and asked, "Can we go over and take a look?"

“Sure, let’s go together then, but we can’t get too close, or it will affect their performance. I can use magic to make it clearer for you.”

Nodding, Lucoa led everyone into the air and chased after Thor and Lobo.

Once in the sky, they stopped on a cloud and looked at the two people gazing at each other from afar.

Hoshino Ai clasped her hands to her chest and asked nervously, "Is this really okay?"
