Tianhai Coral Reef

A sharp pain shot through him, Bai Yushan instinctively covered his head and jumped back half a step.

"You old woman, are you never going to stop?!"

He bared his teeth and shouted.

During previous summer vacations, Leng Yaozhu would give him a sharp rap on the head whenever she was annoyed.

The bump on his head never went down.

It's become a habit!

Leng Yaozhu and withdrew her hand.

"Who told you to be so tactless? You always provoke me."

Her tone was flat, showing no remorse whatsoever.

Seeing her like this, Bai Yushan didn't hesitate to expose her.

"You just got into the swing of things!"

"Stop talking nonsense." Leng Yaozhu was too lazy to argue with him and turned to walk towards the sea.

"Gu Yue, come on, your teacher will take you to see something interesting."

She beckoned to Gu Yue, her tone instantly softening.

Gu Yue covered her mouth, chuckled secretly, and quickly followed.

"Coming, teacher."

The two walked towards the seaside, chatting and laughing, leaving Bai Yushan behind.

Bai Yushan covered his head, watched the two figures disappear, and rolled his eyes.

MD!

Favoring girls over boys!

He muttered something under his breath, but still followed.

The three of them walked a short distance along the beach.

The moonlight spilled onto the sea, giving it a silvery-white glow.

Waves crashed against the beach, one after another, making a soft, rustling sound.

After walking for several hundred meters, we went around a group of rocks.

A small yacht appeared on the sea ahead.

The white hull, gleaming softly in the moonlight, rested quietly on the sea, rising and falling gently with the waves.

The yacht wasn't large, but it was exquisitely designed, and several warm yellow lights shone on the deck, making it especially cozy in the night.

Leng Yaozhu walked to the edge of the reef and touched it with her toes.

She leaped lightly into the air, like a black swallow, and landed steadily on the deck of the yacht.

After she regained her footing, she turned around and waved to the two of them.

"Come on, come on, teacher will take you to Tianhai Coral Reef!"

His tone was tinged with excitement, like a parent taking their child out to play.

Gu Yue's eyes lit up, and she followed Leng Yaozhu's example, lightly leaping onto the deck with her toes.

She landed steadily beside Leng Yaozhu.

"Teacher, what kind of place is Tianhai Coral Reef?"

Gu Yue asked curiously.

"You'll see when we get there," Leng Yaozhu said with a mysterious smile.

Bai Yushan stood on the reef, looking at the yacht and then at the dark, indistinct sea.

"Going to the coral reef so late at night? What can you possibly see?"

He muttered something.

They complained verbally, but their feet didn't stop moving.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, swayed slightly, and landed steadily on the deck.

All three boarded the yacht.

Leng Yaozhu walked to the driver's seat and started the yacht.

Buzz--

The yacht's engine emitted a deep roar as it slowly moved away from the shore.

Heading towards the deep sea.

The yacht cleaved through the waves, leaving a white trail on the sea.

A sea breeze blew in my face, carrying the salty smell of the sea.

Gu Yue stood at the bow of the ship, her long, silvery-white hair dancing wildly in the sea breeze. She opened her arms, closed her eyes, and felt the sea breeze on her face.

She had a faint smile on her face, like an ordinary young girl.

Leng Yaozhu leaned back in the driver's seat, looking at Gu Yue's back with a gentle gaze.

Bai Yushan sat on the deck railing, swinging his legs, looking at the dark sea in the distance.

The yacht sailed for about half an hour.

We were getting further and further away from the shore, and it was getting darker and darker around us.

Only the lights from the yacht and the moonlight illuminated a small patch of sea around us.

Suddenly, Leng Yaozhu slowed down.

"Arrive."

She turned off the engine, and the yacht slowly came to a stop.

It rises and falls gently with the waves.

Bai Yushan stood up, walked to the bow of the boat, and looked around.

It was still a vast, dark sea, with nothing there.

"Teacher, is this the good place you were talking about?"

He was just about to complain.

Suddenly, the sea beneath my feet lit up.

Tiny specks of fluorescence rise from the seabed.

At first, there were only a few scattered spots, like stars falling from the sky into the sea.

Then there were more and more, and they became increasingly dense.

Blue, green, and purple fluorescent lights shimmered and flowed in the seawater.

Like a flowing galaxy, it slowly unfolds on the seabed.

The outline of the coral reef gradually emerged in the fluorescent light.

The corals are colorful and come in various shapes; some look like tree branches, some like mushrooms, and some like fans.

Various kinds of small fish swim to and fro among the coral reefs, their bodies glowing faintly.

The entire sea area was illuminated by this dreamlike fluorescence.

Like a starry sky underwater.

Bai Yushan opened his mouth, but swallowed back the retort that was on the tip of his tongue.

Gu Yue stood at the bow of the boat, her eyes wide open, her silvery-purple pupils filled with a shimmering, fluorescent light.

"So beautiful..."

She murmured, her voice filled with amazement.

Leng Yaozhu leaned against the railing, watching the two's reactions, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"So, was it worth the trip?"

There was a hint of smugness in her tone.

Tianhai Coral Reef is a unique scenic spot in the waters near Skysea City.

Every night, the bioluminescent organisms in the coral reefs become active, illuminating the entire sea area like a starry river.

Not many people know about it; it's a niche attraction.

She discovered this by chance when she was young and came to Tianhai on a mission.

I brought two apprentices with me this time, so they can broaden their horizons.

The three stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the fluorescent coral reefs on the seabed, and remained silent for a moment.

The sea breeze carries a salty smell.

The yacht rose and fell gently with the waves.

The bioluminescence on the seabed flickers, like it's breathing.

Gu Yue leaned on the railing, looking at the seabed, a faint smile on her face.

Leng Yaozhu stood beside her, one hand on her shoulder, her eyes gentle.

Bai Yushan leaned against the railing on the other side, looking at the bioluminescence on the seabed with a hint of amazement in his eyes.

He had seen many wonders, but this underwater starry sky was a sight he had never seen before.

It really is quite beautiful.

Bai Yushan leaned against the railing, silently admitting to himself.

But he didn't say it aloud.

He just watched quietly.

Watching the shimmering bioluminescence on the seabed, watching the colorful corals sway gently in the current, watching groups of small fish swim out of the coral reefs and back again, like a group of carefree little elves.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty scent, blew in, brushing against his cheeks and his disheveled black hair.

The stars in the sky were very bright, each one like a diamond scattered on black velvet.

The moonlight spilled onto the sea, giving it a silvery-white glow.

The yacht rose and fell gently with the waves, like a cradle.

As Bai Yushan watched, he suddenly fell silent.

That quiet was different from the usual quiet.

Even when he's not speaking, he exudes a restless energy, like a ferocious beast ready to pounce at any moment, with madness and arrogance in his bones.

But at that moment, that restless energy suddenly disappeared.

He leaned quietly against the railing, his gaze softening as he looked at the bioluminescence on the seabed and the stars in the sky.
