Chapter 199 Beautiful Undersea Photos
With Nightingale's arrival, Xiao Peng's fishing was completely over. The fish all ran away as soon as it started to stir. Xiao Peng simply joined the sharks and played.
This "Nightingale" was the boss, with a pack of blacktip reef sharks following behind, looking incredibly aggressive. The ocean was full of all sorts of creatures, and the livestream was a complete mess.
"Fuck, I'm dizzy looking at this."
"I usually get dizzy when playing first-person 3D games, and this makes me even more dizzy!"
"Protest, I can't stand it anymore!"
"I'm fine, I feel like I'm on the back of a shark!"
"Oh my god, this feels so good! I wish I could play like this once!"
Xiao Peng didn't play for long, signaling Nightingale to slow down. He spoke into his helmet, "See? There's something interesting up ahead? See? A vast expanse of brain coral! Doesn't it resemble a human brain? Within the crevices of this brain coral live various marine plants, which absorb energy from sunlight to create food. Neither plants nor corals can survive on their own; these reefs are a complete ecosystem. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. See that big grouper over there too? Hey, open your eyes! There's an interesting fish right here."
"This fish is called a frogfish. What does 'frog' mean? It means lame! That's why it's also called a 'lame fish.' It's a close relative of the anglerfish and can change color. Do you think this frogfish looks like a sponge? They pretend to be a sponge to avoid predators while also preying on small fish. All the residents here are both predators and prey. Look, there are crown-of-thorns starfish here. They're seriously damaging corals. Look, the corals here are all dead corals eaten by starfish... Oh! See that? That's a scutellar snail, and scutellar snails eat starfish. They penetrate the starfish's body with their proboscises, release poison, and then kill and eat it. The scenery here is so beautiful! I have a new idea!"
After he finished speaking, he patted Nightingale to signal it to surface. Soon Xiao Peng surfaced, took off his helmet, and said, "Carlisle, Lisa, change into your most beautiful clothes."
"The most beautiful clothes?" The two were confused: "What do you mean?"
"Did you bring any clothes like formal wear or dresses?" Xiao Peng asked.
Carlisle nodded and said, "Of course I did! As a woman, how could I not take pictures on a beautiful cruise ship?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Put on your beautiful dresses and I'll take photos of you that you'll never forget."
"What do you mean?" Jenny's eyes widened. "Xiao, you're not going to let them go into the sea to take pictures, are you?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Of course! The background is a school of sharks and coral reefs. Wouldn't the photo be beautiful?"
"But there are so many sharks in the sea!" Jenny said quickly after hearing this: "This is too dangerous!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Trust me this time, OK?"
Jenny thought about it and said, "Then I'll go down and take a look."
Xiao Peng said, "No problem. Go ahead and dress up nicely, but don't stay up too long! Your makeup won't be useful once you're in the sea."
Jenny smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't be long!"
It turned out that Xiao Peng had misjudged Jenny's sense of time. More than an hour later, Jenny finally came out of the cabin. She was wearing a red dress and had delicate makeup on.
"Where is Xiao?" Jenny looked for a long time and found that Xiao Peng was not there.
Blair was holding the computer and spreading his hands. "I can't wait any longer."
"Can't wait?" Jenny pouted and said, "I haven't been dressing up for too long."
"It's been more than an hour!" Walter said.
Jenny looked at it and said, "What woman doesn't take a long time to put on makeup? A man who can't even wait for a woman to put on makeup is so impatient! Hmm? Where's Lisa?"
Blair pointed to the bottom of the sea: "It's already in the sea!"
"What?" Jenny ran to the side of the boat and looked down at the seabed. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and you could see a school of sharks swimming around. Lisa was sitting on a reef on the seabed. Xiao Peng took pictures of her with an underwater camera. After every two frames, he handed Lisa the oxygen mask, let her take a few breaths, and then asked her to change her position and continue filming.
"Let her up quickly! This is too dangerous!" Jenny shouted.
But Blair said, "What's so dangerous? I just finished filming!"
"Ah? You're going into the sea too?" Jenny was stunned after hearing this.
Blair turned the laptop over and pointed it at Jenny. "Mom, are these photos good?"
Jenny exclaimed at just one glance: "Isn't this too beautiful?"
Blair's hair flutters in the waves at the bottom of the ocean, with a beautiful coral reef and wild sharks in the background. There are also a few photos of Blair snuggling up to a shark, making her look like a mermaid.
Jenny's eyes glowed green. "Are you really okay? The sharks down there won't attack people?"
Blair spread her hands. "You saw how much those sharks listened to Xiao. I'm going to post these photos on Instagram. Countless people will envy me! Look at this one, a row of sharks swimming past my hair. Do I look like Queen Mera of Atlantis? This one of Lisa and I holding hands looks great too! No way, I have to post it on Instagram right now!"
Jenny was envious: "How long has Lisa been down there? Is it my turn to go down and take pictures?"
But Blair said, "Ah? I'm afraid you don't have a chance today. Xiao has been underwater for over an hour and his oxygen is almost gone. If Lisa hadn't begged him, he would have rested long ago."
"Huh?" Jenny looked at Blair after hearing this: "Are you kidding me?"
"How am I kidding you?" Blair said, "Right now, only Xiao Peng's 'Iron Man' has oxygen left, but that's for preparations and can't be wasted. There are no more oxygen tanks on the ship!"
"Oh my God! Why didn't he bring more?" Jenny said with wide eyes.
Blair smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, the oxygen he brought is enough for him to use for a long time. It's all for us to use, okay? You spent over an hour putting on makeup, and Xiao Peng was diving underwater for over an hour! Look at his live broadcast, he's holding the oxygen meter and talking. He should be coming back soon."
"There's no oxygen at all?" Jenny was still a little unwilling to give up.
Blair pointed to the bottom of the sea. "Ask Xiao. Dad and we can wait for you, but you can't make the whole world wait for you, right?"
Just then, Xiao Peng and Lisa emerged from the seabed. They were startled when they saw Jenny: "Huh? You're out? I thought you were asleep! Blair and Lisa have brought you back safely. You don't have to worry about their safety!"
Jenny didn't know what to say. Was she worried about the children's safety? Was she sad that she didn't have the chance to take such beautiful photos?
