"My benefactor, would you like some grilled octopus? It's my specialty!"
"I guarantee you'll want a second bite after just one, and you won't want to leave after eating here today!"
The soldier, who often barbecued with the elderly, fawned over them, handing them a plate of brightly colored, fragrant, and tempting barbecue.
[Gulp—]
[It smells so good, oh my god!]
I was craving it so badly, but I didn't dare to make a single move.
The person on the chaise lounge tried hard to remain composed, not even lifting their eyelids.
Her long, fluttering eyelashes betrayed her.
[The room Jiang Xuan arranged is excellent; it allows one to virtually explore the ocean without leaving the room!]
Like the exclusive underwater world suites in some star-rated hotels, the 100-square-meter room had everything one could need, with all the finest amenities. What dazzled her even more was—
There is a floor-to-ceiling window that is six meters long, directly opposite the bed!
The view outside the glass is not just an ordinary window view, but a whole colorful and magnificent underwater world!
Fried egg jellyfish, clownfish, sea hare, pink dolphin, sailfish, humpback whale...
Yan Miao could lean out the window and watch curiously all night.
[Hmph, don't think I don't know what Jiang Xuan means. The marine life outside the glass may be beautiful, but through the glass, you'll also see a scene of survival of the fittest and ruthless slaughter.]
[He was trying to tell me that the islanders were like creatures outside the glass; if they couldn't take human form, they would live in fear forever, perfectly normal people living like animals—how pathetic!]
They're just trying to play the emotional card and force me to give in.
A fragrant aroma wafted over, and my mouth started watering uncontrollably again.
[Ugh, it smells so good!]
Now is the time for negotiation; we must remain calm!
Although she really wanted to eat barbecue and sympathized with the island's residents, she couldn't afford to lose the chips she had.
Since Jiang Xuan cares about them so much, he should show his sincerity!
"Put the food down, I want to eat."
Chi Rang took the barbecue, then suddenly remembered something and paused, "This octopus meat..."
He changed into a simple white T-shirt and black pants, but his powerful aura was not to be underestimated.
Even when on someone else's turf, they still maintain their imposing presence.
"Caught in the sea! All natural!"
"It's not mine, hehe."
The soldier's stammering explanation.
[Gulp—]
I swallowed for the second time.
This little glutton can't wait!
The man's narrow eyes curved like a bright moon, and his eyes were full of laughter.
"The negotiations will take place tonight. She needs to rest well. You should all go back."
He went back to the door, looted everything the others had, and immediately closed the door.
"Did you see anything?"
"without........"
"It felt like a gust of wind..."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Seriously, his grilling skills are amazing, wow—"
After taking one bite, Yan Miao was so moved that she almost cried.
Indeed, precious ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods!
tasty!
There were so many delicious foods that she was dazzled by the sight.
"Miaomiao, have you thought about how to negotiate?"
Chi Rang had just sat down next to her when he was stuffed with a mouthful of barbecue.
Her deep eyes were full of surprise, like a dazed little deer, and Yan Miao gave her another pat.
What did you put on that makes your skin look so smooth!
She didn't notice the man's face, which was flushed red.
He chuckled innocently, "Haha, not yet. Why think so much? We're the client now. Let's see what kind of satisfactory proposal he can come up with!"
...........
"Come--"
"Come on, come on!"
"Pull it closer!"
Boxes upon boxes of pearls, large and round, truly the finest of the world!
A full one hundred boxes!
A box of pearls alone could make up for the loss of the helicopter.
Yan Miao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to grab them and say, "Yes, yes, put them all in front of me!"
As soon as Pearl Mountain appeared, her face shone brightly, illuminated by the pearly light, brighter than any brand of light-emitting panel.
"Jiang Xuan, you didn't actually move the entire seabed, did you?"
Doesn't this guy understand sustainable development?
"No, I left some..."
Jiang Xuan was speechless, looking a bit like a child who had made a mistake.
He only dug into the nearby seabed.
"whispering sound--"
The islanders behind him sighed in unison.
Even if there's only a little left, a few pieces count as a little!
Humans generally love precious jewels and money, so for the past few days, they have all been out in the sea day and night searching for pearls and other valuables.
Everything's here!
Everyone looked at her expectantly, hoping she would accept these treasures and give them the pills.
"Here you go!"
It really worked!
"The medicine has arrived! We're saved!"
Xiangxiang, who was in the crowd, suppressed the urge to scream wildly and started dancing with the elderly man in her arms.
A white jade bottle flew from Yan Miao's hand, tracing a graceful arc in the air. Hundreds of eyes followed it closely until the bottle landed safely in Jiang Xuan's hand.
He was overjoyed. "The medicine is here!"
Yan Miao interrupted, "There are only fifty here."
Only... fifty?
His heart sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant.
"Refining medicine takes a lot of time; it can't be done in just a few days. Fifty pills are quite a lot."
