Chapter 38

Chen Hao returned to the Ability Bureau.

As soon as he arrived, he ran into Lu Xiaoji.

"Did you get it done?"

"Hmm."

Chen Hao nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoji couldn't help but rub his hands, looking very lecherous.

"Brother Hao."

Lu Xiaoji called out as affectionately as he could.

"What's up?"

"Do you still remember our agreement?"

"Agreement? Are you talking about doing the mission?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoji nodded.

Previously, Lu Xiaoji had helped Chen Hao complete a mission for free.

Now it was Chen Hao’s turn to help Lu Xiaoji.

"Sure, what mission do you want to do?"

"No rush, come with me."

Under Lu Xiaoji’s lead, Chen Hao and he arrived at a certain place.

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei! Come here, come here!"

Lu Xiaoji waved at a girl not far away.

That girl was a bit shy.

Hearing Lu Xiaoji call her, she lowered her head slightly and walked over slowly.

Chen Hao discovered that this girl had a small face, a small mouth, and small breasts... one shouldn't make things hard for a child!

Chen Hao felt that even the mother of the potato-head probably had bigger ones than her.

He looked toward Xiaomei, and something caught his attention.

A scar!

There was actually a deep scar on Xiaomei’s right leg!

"Brother Hao, her mission is to find the Seven-Colored Coral."

"She’s a bit timid, and on top of that, she only has Warrior Realm, Ninth Stage strength."

"So she came to me."

"Brother Hao, you know me; I don't have many merits, but I just love helping others."

Listening to Lu Xiaoji’s words, Chen Hao felt speechless.

This guy’s intentions were clearly not about the mission.

However, as it stood, the probability of Lu Xiaoji becoming a "boiling sheep" was one thousand percent!

Chen Hao didn't point this out.

Lu Xiaoji had finally immersed himself in his own fantasies.

If he pointed it out, Lu Xiaoji would probably turn against him.

"Then let's go."

Chen Hao said.

"Okay."

Lu Xiaoji nodded.

Then he turned his head to look at Yang Xiaomei.

"Xiaomei, see, I told you he would definitely help us."

"Hmm."

Yang Xiaomei subconsciously glanced at Chen Hao, her face turning slightly red, and she put on a coy posture.

The three of them set off, heading directly to the ferry.

After renting a boat, the three of them set off immediately.

"Xiaomei, I didn't expect you to know how to operate a boat."

Lu Xiaoji had originally planned to hire someone to drive the boat.

He hadn't expected Yang Xiaomei to know how to drive it, so she directly rejected his request to hire someone.

"My family lives by the sea, and my parents are fishermen."

"Naturally, I know how to drive a boat."

Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji sat on the boat.

The two of them rose and fell with the boat.

On the way.

Chen Hao would occasionally look around, and occasionally look at Xiaomei, memorizing her techniques for operating the boat.

And Lu Xiaoji, that guy, didn't take his eyes off Yang Xiaomei.

The waves around them gradually calmed down.

Chen Hao closed his eyes, slowly feeling the sea breeze brushing against his face.

He subconsciously put his hand into the sea.

For some reason.

Chen Hao felt that as soon as his hand was put into the sea, an inexplicable power surged through his whole body.

"What's going on?"

He reacted quickly.

"It’s [Water Ghost Power]!"

"Come to think of it, I haven't used this ability since I got it."

"Now that I'm on the sea, perhaps I have a chance to try it out."

Yang Xiaomei drove the boat and soon arrived at a sea area.

"This is it."

"This is the place where Seven-Colored Coral is abundant."

"Everyone be careful when you go down later."

"There are man-eating sharks around here."

Before coming, Yang Xiaomei had done her homework.

So she was particularly knowledgeable about this sea area.

"Hmm, understood."

Lu Xiaoji said.

"Alright, then you two put on your diving suits."

"The two of us?"

Hearing Yang Xiaomei’s words, Chen Hao was somewhat surprised.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaomei smiled slightly.

She saw her jump into the water in one leap.

Splash!

As soon as Yang Xiaomei touched the water, she changed her appearance.

Her upper body was human, and her lower body was a fish.

"Mermaid?"

Chen Hao hadn't expected Yang Xiaomei to be a mermaid.

"No, this is the [Mermaid] ability."

Yang Xiaomei possessed the B-level ability [Mermaid]; after using it, she could transform into a mermaid.

The reason Chen Hao said she was a mermaid, rather than a "beautiful" mermaid.

Was because Yang Xiaomei had nothing to do with beauty.

After all, two seashells covering an airport, no matter how beautiful, aren't beautiful!

Lu Xiaoji was different from Chen Hao.

Seeing Yang Xiaomei transformed into a mermaid, he seemed to like her even more.

He subconsciously licked his lips.

"This guy."

Chen Hao stopped paying attention to Lu Xiao. After putting on his diving suit, he leaped into the water in one bound.

"Hey, Brother Hao, wait for me!"

Lu Xiao followed closely behind and jumped in.

The three of them swam toward the deep sea.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Before them lay a cluster of coral reefs.

The colorful corals shimmered with iridescent light under the reflection of the sunlight.

The soil at the bottom of this deep sea was somewhat unique.

"It's glowing fluorescent soil!"

Chen Hao discovered that this soil emitted a glow, making the originally pitch-black seabed bright.

Once in the water, Yang Xiaomei was like a fish in water.

She did not need an oxygen mask and could breathe freely underwater.

She led the way in front, with Chen Hao and Lu Xiao following closely behind.

"Hurry up, you two, it's right ahead."

Not long after.

The three of them arrived in front of a coral reef.

"This isn't the Seven-Colored Coral!"

"This one isn't either!"

Yang Xiaomei began to search.

After searching a circle.

She felt somewhat dejected.

"It's not here, there's no Seven-Colored Coral here."

"At most, there's only five-colored coral."

Hearing Yang Xiaomei's words, Lu Xiao comforted her, "Isn't having five-colored coral enough?"

"No, the mission requires Seven-Colored Coral."

She scanned her surroundings once more.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared not far away.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaomei's eyes lit up.

"It's the Seven-Colored Coral!"

Subconsciously, she wanted to swim toward that side.

Seeing this, Chen Hao frowned instinctively.

He didn't know why.

The sea area in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Whoosh!

A large creature suddenly rushed out from the mud.

It opened its bloody maw and bit toward Yang Xiaomei.

"It's a Bloodless Ray!"

Seeing the Bloodless Ray about to bite Xiaomei.

"You're courting death!"

Xiaomei slashed fiercely with the dagger in her hand.

Rip!

That Bloodless Ray was cut into two pieces directly by Xiaomei.

"That reaction speed."

Chen Hao looked at Yang Xiaomei with newfound respect.

He had thought she was just a vase, but he hadn't expected her to have such strength.

"Everyone, be careful."

"The area ahead is the territory of the Man-Eating Sharks."

"There might be other guys ambushing us along the way."

After killing that Bloodless Ray, Yang Xiaomei warned Chen Hao and Lu Xiao.

"Got it."

Yang Xiaomei's words changed Chen Hao's opinion of her.

The three of them set off toward the location of the Seven-Colored Coral.

Just as they were about to approach the Seven-Colored Coral, Yang Xiaomei stopped.

"Xiaomei, what's wrong?"

Lu Xiao asked.

"I'm a bit tired, let's rest here for a while."
