Chapter 1926: Returning Home in Glory
It was the cruise company's honor to be able to rent the cruise ship to them; the only condition was the hope that Sheng Hanyu could take a group photo with the people on the ship.
This was a living advertisement.
Although the cruise company didn't make money off them, the God of Wealth had once sat on their cruise ship—would they have to worry about business not being good in the future?
Making a fortune every day was no longer a dream.
Sheng Hanyu agreed, and the family of five enjoyed meticulous care on the cruise ship, feeling very comfortable.
But the comfort didn't last long before wind and waves rose on the sea.
The captain came over with a grave expression, asking the few people watching the scenery on the deck to return to the cabin.
Shi Youxuan asked, "Is it because a big storm is coming?"
She had just checked the weather forecast; sailing during this period was still very safe, and there were no problems at all.
The captain said, "No, Madam, it's that many sharks will soon appear in the surrounding area. The current sharks seem to have become spirits; they will jump onto the deck."
"Just last week, a cruise ship was in these waters, and several tourists were snatched into the sea by sharks and eaten."
Hearing it was so serious, Feifei's face turned pale with fright, and she said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, let's go in quickly."
"Mm."
Shi Youxuan nodded, and the mother and daughter-in-law prepared to return to the cabin, but after walking a few steps, they discovered that it was only the two of them; Sheng Hanyu and Litian had not followed.
"What's wrong with you two? Come back quickly."
Sheng Hanyu: "It's fine, I have a harpoon in my hand."
He was with the sailors on the ship, preparing to catch the sharks that jumped onto the deck.
Litian said, "With me here, Dad will be fine."
Feifei's face was pale, but she still handed the child to her mother-in-law and went back to stand firmly by her husband's side: "Where you are, I am!"
"Good."
He not only didn't object, but he also agreed.
Shi Youxuan stamped her feet in anxiety: "Come back, you all come back."
Litian smiled at his mother and said loudly, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, Dad and Feifei won't have any trouble."
The sharks surrounded them—one, two, ten, one hundred...
At first, there were only a few scattered ones, but soon they increased exponentially, at an astonishing speed.
The sailors on the deck each had tense expressions, their harpoons gripped tightly in their hands.
The captain kept urging from the side: "Don't get hurt, you must be careful not to get hurt..."
Sharks are bloodthirsty; smelling the scent of blood is like taking a stimulant.
No sooner had he finished speaking than sharks began to jump onto the ship!
At this moment, Litian blew his whistle.
A miraculous scene occurred.
The sharks surrounding them immediately quieted down, no longer as restless as they were just a moment ago; he blew for a while longer, and the sharks actually all swam away.
The captain was pleasantly surprised and bowed down to Sheng Hanyu: "Almighty God, you are truly a person of great ability. I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a miraculous thing..."
Sheng Hanyu: "Don't kneel to me, I wasn't the one who blew the whistle."
The captain spoke with conviction: "He is your son, which means he is the messenger of God. If your son has such great ability, your own power must be even stronger!"
Sheng Hanyu:...
Fine, let them say whatever they want; he was too lazy to explain.
Such a viewpoint had already taken deep root in their hearts; it would be useless even if he wore his tongue out.
Returning to the cabin, he asked Litian: "When did you learn such a skill?"
Sheng Hanyu remembered that the pirate leader back then knew this language and could make the sharks in the sea obey him.
But the pirate leader had died long before Litian was born; he had no chance to teach Litian.
And Yafei wouldn't know this skill, he was certain of that!
Litian said, "It wasn't learned; I've known it since I was little. No one taught me."
This was an innate ability, self-taught without a master, a natural talent that didn't need anyone to teach it at all.
With Litian, the guardian of the sea, they arrived at the Small Fishing Village very smoothly along the way.
After more than twenty years, this place was no longer what it used to be.
Not only had all the facilities on the island changed, but even its area had changed!
It had become more than twice as large as it was originally.
And the increase in the island's area was achieved by the villagers buying soil from outside and filling in the sea bit by bit.
The Small Fishing Village was surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the nearest land took a full day and night to reach by boat; soil was very expensive in this place, and the shipping costs alone required a lot of money.
Around the island were very sturdy protective walls used to protect the villagers from the incursions of Pirates.
When the people on the island discovered Sheng Hanyu, they were so excited they almost fainted!
"God, God has descended!"
He knelt down and kowtowed in excitement; before Litian could help him up, he stood up on his own, then ran to the large pillar at the village entrance and struck the bronze gong on it with all his might.
The Small Fishing Village was now a completely modernized small island, yet it still retained the most ancient method of notification: a very large bronze gong. When the sound of the gong rang out, it could be heard for more than ten miles around!
Soon, the villagers all ran over; there were more and more people, and a sea of them knelt before Sheng Hanyu.
The Village Chief walked at the very front; he looked more excited than anyone else.
Before he even reached them, he was already streaming with tears, muttering incessantly: "Is it Yano? Is our Yano back?"
When he saw the person in front of him, he fainted from excitement.
Sheng Hanyu recognized him; this was Yaqing, the partner who had sworn with him back then to build up the Small Fishing Village.
He was also a member of the original leadership team of the village committee; he was loyal to him back then, and now that decades have passed, it should still be that way.
The person just fainted from excitement and woke up very quickly.
After he woke up, he excitedly grabbed Sheng Hanyu and wouldn't let go, chattering incessantly: "You've returned, you've finally returned; I can finally rest assured and hand the village back to you."
Sheng Hanyu said: "I am a guest; I came back to see everyone but I still have to leave. You have built this place so well, it is all your own credit, it has nothing to do with me."
"How could it have nothing to do with you? You have been protecting us all these years; if it weren't for you, most of the people in our village would have been beaten to death by the Pirates..."
"Ah!"
He caught sight of Litian unintentionally and immediately cried out in alarm, his face turning pale with fright at once.
Litian looks too much like the former leader of the Pirates, they are simply identical.
Or perhaps not; if one examines him carefully, one can still see that Litian does not have a fierce aura, but instead possesses quite a scholarly air.
But because he looks so similar, these details were overlooked.
"He is..."
"He is Litian, Yafei's child," Sheng Hanyu reminded him.
"Yafei's child is not named Litian..."
Shi Youxuan took over the conversation: "That's right, he used to be called Aifei, but the child didn't like that name, so he changed it himself to his current name, which signifies standing tall and upright."
"Oh, oh, this name is good, the current name sounds better."
Yaqing was no longer as frightened as before and praised the name Litian endlessly.
Sheng Hanyu and his party arrived in the village and received a warm welcome from everyone; needless to say, the delicacies from the mountains and seas were served, and everything they ate and used was the best.
Everyone also saw that legendary sculpture.
