In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Chapter 201 The Amazing Appearance of White Dolphins; Music Initially Completed

"Another big truck! This is..."

Looking at the huge fish shadow slowly emerging from the water, this time the catch was undoubtedly even bigger.

Using dragonfish meat as bait, Zhang Xiaoshan caught quite a few big catches during this period, all of them monsters from the deep sea.

A squid four or five zhang long, a tuna three zhang long, a giant oarfish five zhang long...

Once the dragonfish meat is available, it's like a shark being drawn to a fishy smell; they basically eat one a day.

It's fair to say that even Huang Rong was shocked when these things arrived.

Moreover, the group of female constables were even more amazed by these enormous creatures.

It was also because Zhang Xiaoshan increased the thickness of the silkworm silk fishing line; otherwise, ordinary fishing lines would have broken long ago, and they wouldn't have been able to withstand the struggles and pulling of these giant creatures.

"A white dolphin!"

Looking at the huge dolphin struggling, it was a full four zhang (approximately 10 meters) in size.

Compared to adult white dolphins of later generations, which are only two or three meters long, it can definitely be considered an ancient creature.

Moreover, ordinary white dolphins rarely enter deep waters below 10 zhang (approximately 33 meters), and the line he cast was at least 50 zhang (approximately 25 meters) deep.

"You're lucky!"

Dolphins are enormous, and according to the prevailing belief, they are gentle animals and highly intelligent beings.

"947" Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan used his internal force to retrieve the fishhook.

After all, it was only a distance of ten zhang, so controlling the hook was a piece of cake.

"Let's go back!"

As Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand, the white dolphin saw the fishing hook he had retrieved and waved goodbye.

"Translate~ Waaah~ Translate~ Waaah..."

The white dolphin did not leave; instead, it lingered and swam around the boat. Its enormous size startled many of the girls nearby, causing them to scream.

If a fish that big were to suddenly attack a ship, it would be no joke.

Not to mention the possibility of capsizing the ship, if the hull were to be breached, they would likely all perish in the vast ocean.

"Young Master..."

"Don't be afraid, this guy means no harm, he's just playing around."

At Zhang Xiaoshan's level, he could sense whether the white dolphin harbored any ill intentions.

Moreover, if the white dolphin is truly malicious, Zhang Xiaoshan can knock it into the sea before it gets close to the ship, shattering its flesh and internal organs.

"Translate~ Waaah! Translate~ Waaah..."

The white dolphin cried out again, and Zhang Xiaoshan felt as if it was making some kind of plea.

"come on!"

With a wave of Zhang Xiaoshan's hand, to the astonishment of the women, the white dolphins that had been swimming around slowly approached, leaving everyone in disbelief.

This white dolphin is incredibly intelligent.

As the white dolphin approached, Zhang Xiaoshan leaped lightly onto its back and held onto the dolphin's fin with one hand.

In an instant, the white dolphin carrying Zhang Xiaoshan disappeared underwater, reappearing dozens of feet away.

Compared to the speed of a typical dolphin, this behemoth is more like a super jet ski, kicking up a white spray as it races across the ocean.

"what happened?"

"It seems the young master took pity on it and released it out of pity, and then..."

To repay kindness?

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan seems to be the murderer; some of these fish are just too intelligent.

The women watched Zhang Xiaoshan ride across the sea on the back of a white dolphin, their faces filled with disbelief and envy.

A full hour later, Zhang Xiaoshan returned to the ship.

"I want it too! I want it too!"

Looking at Huang Rong's appearance, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, took out a piece of dragonfish meat, and divided it into ten-pound portions.

"Na!"

"I knew my husband would have a way!"

Huang Rong took a piece of dragonfish and walked to the ship's side. Looking at the white dolphins circling around, she shook the dragonfish meat in her hand.

Sure enough, the white dolphin's eyes lit up when it saw the dragonfish meat, and it charged over again, leaping up and swallowing the dragonfish meat that Huang Rong threw at it.

The huge waves left the women in a sorry state.

"Take me flying over the ocean for a while?"

"Translate~ Waaah! Translate~ Waaah..."

To Huang Rong's disbelief, the white dolphin actually nodded in a human-like manner.

This once again refreshed everyone's understanding of his intelligence. You know, those circus animals have undergone long-term training, but this deep-sea white dolphin completely defied their common sense and could even understand human speech.

Huang Rong, however, ignored all of this and leaped down, riding on the fins of the white dolphin, galloping across the waves.

"Young master, this giant fish is amazing!"

"It's not a god anymore. It should have an owner. White dolphins are not uncommon, and they are gentle and it's normal for them to be friendly with people."

Is it owned?

Upon hearing this, the women suddenly realized what was going on. They had been wondering how a dolphin could possibly understand human speech.

Then, looking around curiously, he asked:

"Is its owner nearby?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, somewhat disappointed in his son's lack of ambition, and said:

"Judging from its enormous size, it must be at least a hundred years old. Such a divine object must have no owner long ago."

Otherwise, why would he be searching for food in the deep sea?

"Should we...?"

"Adopt it? Taking it back would be dangerous for it. Humans are greedy; they're capable of anything."

With its current size, it has no natural enemies in the ocean, so wouldn't it be better to live freely? Why send it back to such a dangerous environment as shallow water?

If you meet him again, give him some food and play with him.

"Young Master's consideration is indeed thorough!"

The women nodded in agreement; the ocean was home for the white dolphin.

They knew the dangers of shallow water and the greed of human nature, and that people might take advantage of them.

"Alright, Rong'er is back. Does anyone want to give it a try?"

"I come!"

A daring female constable picked up a piece of dragonfish meat and threw it at Huang Rong after she came down.

Experience the thrill of riding the waves.

"My husband, I want to adopt it..."

"Where can you raise it? The ocean is its home."

If you want to find it when you go out to sea, you can make a pact with it and summon it with the Jade Flute of the Vast Ocean.

"The Jade Flute of the Vast Ocean is a divine artifact. With your internal strength, it can sense you within a hundred miles."

"Really?"

Huang Rong took out the Canghai Jade Flute and couldn't believe that the jade flute had such great power.

"Nonsense, do you think that what the Zhang family can use as a betrothal gift is not as good as the congratulatory gifts of those big shots? You just don't know how to use it."

These were merely the jade peaches of Ghost Street, the golden pearls of the Sun Moon Cult, and the celestial silk gauze and white silk of the Flower Shifting Palace...

Huang Rong only just realized that the Zhang family's betrothal gifts could not possibly be lower than these.

She had always thought it was just a jade flute with a hard texture and top-quality sound, never imagining that it was a divine artifact for sonic power.

"Then tell me how to use it?"

"Of course it's 'The Song of the Azure Sea', otherwise I'd give you this as a decoration."

Moreover, your current skill level should be at the level of Huang Shibo, so playing the "Azure Sea Tide Song" would be no less powerful than those peerless martial arts.

Sigh! Sigh...

You're crazy. Not to mention that these girls lack the inner strength to withstand the power of the Azure Sea Tide Melody and the Jade Flute of the Vast Sea.

There are also white dolphins over there; if they are startled, the consequences could be disastrous.

Seeing Huang Rong pick up the Canghai Jade Flute as if to try it out, Zhang Xiaoshan was immediately startled.

This girl is sometimes exceptionally shrewd, but at other times she acts recklessly without considering the consequences, making even the female constables break out in a cold sweat when they see Huang Rong.

"I know, why didn't you say so sooner?"

"I'm just afraid you'll cause trouble!"

····

In one day, almost all the female constables went for a swim in the sea, and another day passed in a joyful atmosphere.

Most of the evening's activities involved a barbecue feast, followed by a rest after a satisfying meal.

After calming Huang Rong down, Zhang Xiaoshan went to Ji Yaohua's room to help her digest the increased energy and blood from the fish and dragon meat.

After all, strength is a comprehensive reflection of many factors.

Qi and blood are of paramount importance.

Ding ding ding...

First, light and cheerful notes lingered in my ears, like the crisp and chaotic sound of "large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate," yet they were exceptionally beautiful.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

Then the music began to rise and fall, deep and undulating, instantly immersing the listener in the endless waves and boundless expanse of the sea.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

The sound surged and roared like a drumbeat, creating towering waves. The range and soaring pitch of the zither far surpassed that of ordinary zither music.

Moreover, the kind of sweeping, stirring, and heart-stirring writing is even more breathtaking.

"Success!"

On the roof of the boat, 1.9 meters high, Huang Rong sat cross-legged.

As the final sound waves reverberated, the guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) completely shattered.

This isn't due to poor quality of the guqin, but rather the incorporation of internal energy techniques at the end. Not only is the plucking speed increased several times over, but four notes are also produced simultaneously, resonating against each other…

An ordinary guqin wouldn't withstand such abuse; destroying it after one performance is already being extremely lenient.

"Even if you play one guqin at a time, it's useless if you can't even finish a piece."

The guqin was an object for literati and scholars, costing at least ten taels of silver, and was used by ordinary scholars.

Moreover, she was using a guqin, which costs at least a hundred gold coins; even if she was spending money recklessly, it wouldn't be considered extravagant.

"I think it's good. As for the zither, I'll figure something out."

The strings can be made of silkworm silk, and the body of the instrument can be made of ancient wood that has been used for thousands of years; the Zhang family has plenty of such wood.

If a suitable one cannot be found, I previously discovered a 10,000-year-old Dragon-Subduing Tree, which can be used as a substitute.

Since it's a piece we played together, what business is it of anyone else's? We just think it sounds good, that's all that matters.

"Right!"
