Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 754: Chapter 750: The Goal, the Ocean Voyage

However, Huo Sining was no saint; Wang’s use of such despicable means was indeed very sinister, but it had nothing to do with Huo Sining. Even if she had seen it, she didn’t plan to meddle.

After leaving the restaurant, Huo Sining split up with Wang Kaiwen. She didn’t rush back to the Luo family’s place but instead called Luo Jinzhi and told her that she had some matters to attend to and might not return to the Luo family’s home that evening.

Luo Jinzhi knew that Huo Sining, now managing both a shop and a company, indeed had a lot on her plate. So when she heard what Huo Sining said, she didn’t suspect anything and only asked if she needed help. After Huo Sining declined, Luo Jinzhi didn’t press any further.

The matter Huo Sining needed to attend to was, of course, not that simple. Before coming to Mindong, she had done some research and knew that the Mindong Sea Area was home to many precious marine products.

Since she was already in Mindong, Huo Sining naturally didn’t want to return empty-handed. How could she be content without sweeping through the Mindong Sea Area? But while staying at Luo Jinzhi’s home, it wasn’t convenient for Huo Sining to act alone. She finally found an excuse to follow Wang Kaiwen out and naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

So after phoning Luo Jinzhi, Huo Sining decided to embark on an underwater adventure alone.

However there was unlikely to be much to find near the shore, so she didn’t choose to dive into the sea from the nearby beach. After checking the shipping schedules at the harbor, she took advantage of an unsupervised moment and invisibly boarded a huge ocean liner that was about to set sail.

Huo Sining felt somewhat guilty about this experience of stowing away, but she was heading for an underwater adventure. If she had actually purchased a ticket and boarded the ship, only to disappear midway, it would have been troublesome had anyone noticed.

So, to avoid such an incident, Huo Sining thought it best not to take that risk.

Having boarded the opportune ship for free, Huo Sining scouted around and quickly found a long ladder at the stern of the vessel.

This ladder extended directly from the deck to the bottom side of the ship. Once the liner had left the nearshore waters, Huo Sining didn’t delay. She quietly climbed down the ladder and then jumped into the dark seawater below, disappearing into the seabed with the currents shortly thereafter.

When Huo Sining silently jumped from the cruise ship into the sea, the liner was already hundreds of miles from the coast.

With the Water-Repelling Pearl, Huo Sining moved through the seabed as if she were on land; even at night, the sea was as bright as day.

Thanks to Elder Sister Luo, Luo Jinfeng’s prior advice, Huo Sining made some preparations for this underwater excursion. She had purchased some underwater exploration equipment before boarding the ship, though, of course, she had no need for diving gear.

However, something like a compass or a navigator was essential. Even though she had the Water-Repelling Pearl and could move through the water unobstructed as if on flat ground, she was still someone from the mainland and not familiar with the sea. Lacking a sense of direction in this vast ocean was most dangerous; she certainly didn’t want to end up like Robinson on a deserted island, so it was crucial to have instruments to guide her direction.

As she moved away from the nearshore area, the level of human contamination of the sea area decreased significantly, making the water here extremely clear and clean.

Moreover, since this was a shipping route that merchant ships had to pass through, fishing boats were not allowed here, resulting in marine life that was far richer than in the area she had previously visited with Master Luo, by several times over.

All sorts of beautiful seaweed and seashells were scattered across the seabed, along with schools of fish that occasionally performed the thrilling spectacle of big fish eating small fish, leaving one in awe.

Before this, Huo Sining had watched similar documentaries about the underwater world on television, but only now, as she was truly immersed in the embrace of the ocean, did she feel moved and truly understood from the depths of her heart the insignificance of humanity.

On Earth, the ocean covers a far greater area than land, and the ocean is one of the domains that humanity has yet to conquer. Even the bravest people feel helpless when faced with the endless sea.

Thousands of meters below the sea surface lie places beyond human reach, filled with countless wondrous secrets.

Amid these myriad thoughts, Huo Sining was soon attracted by the underwater wonders, particularly the exceptionally clear and azure waters far from the coast, giving her a dream-like feeling.

When Huo Sining dived more than ten meters underwater, she could see palm-sized, colorful fish everywhere.

These fish were all extremely beautiful, dazzling Huo Sining’s eyes, but they were also particularly alert, not allowing her to get within a meter of them.

This made Huo Sining feel quite frustrated, but she quickly thought of a method, quietly drawing out the Spirit of Azure Pearl and enveloping herself in it.

Indeed, ”Men die for wealth, as fish die for bait.” Attracted by the allure of the Spirit of Azure Pearl, the colorful fish quickly started to approach Huo Sining.

Huo Sining’s intention to dive this time was to look for some precious marine harvest to feast on. However, she recognized the high ornamental value of these colorful fish at a glance.

Conveniently, the Xianyu Shop was lacking in display species, and some regular customers had begun to complain. Since she was already in Mindong, she thought she might as well gather some fresh varieties from the sea to test the market.

With that thought, the corner of Huo Sining’s mouth curved up, a mischievous and triumphant smile flashed in her eyes, and in the next second, all the beautiful fish within a range of one foot from her were gathered into her Storage Space.

Fortunately, time stood still in the Storage Space, so even though Huo Sining crammed these fish into a cargo box, she didn’t have to worry about them suffocating, saving a lot of space. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted to waste her already not so large Storage Space just for these little fish.

After collecting a whole cargo box of fish, Huo Sining no longer wasted time. Unwittingly, she had dived more than a hundred meters deep, and the fish around her gradually grew larger. Many of these fish Huo Sining couldn’t name, but that didn’t stop her from observing them intently.

And then, as if out of nowhere, reefs began to appear around Huo Sining, looking like mountain peaks. She navigated carefully between them, and suddenly was drawn to something on a huge reef.

A gigantic sea turtle was sprawled upon that massive reef, seemingly in deep slumber, but as the seawater flowed, its limbs would occasionally sway gently.
