Dozens of Great White Sharks

Zheng Xing'an said:

"Master, your status is different, and I know you don't usually like to have servants around."

"But when we get to the capital, all the other young ladies will have their own maids with them. It's not appropriate for you to be alone."

Zhou Wanwan really didn't like having servants with her, but she had no choice when she went to the capital.

Wanshuang quickly prepared dinner, and after eating, Zhou Wanwan washed up and went to bed.

Around midnight, Zhou Wanwan felt the earth shaking and the sky spinning.

Liu Su'e and Zhou Fusheng both woke up in fright. Zhou Fusheng asked softly, "What happened?"

Zhou Qingyan calmly said, "Father, don't worry, we've probably encountered a large fish."

Looking out the window, Zhou Qinghe saw that the surroundings were densely packed with large sharks.

Zhou Qingchen swallowed hard and said, "We're surrounded by sharks this time?"

Who would dare to imagine that?

Dozens of sharks surrounded them; each shark was 4 meters long, and some were even 7 or 8 meters long.

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "They're all great white sharks! Uncle Scholar Tree, what do we do now?"

The Old Scholar Tree frowned and said:

"We didn't expect to be spotted by the sharks. By the time we got in, it was too late. These sharks are incredibly fast."

These sharks are unlikely to let us go now; the only way is to defeat them.

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched. "You mean, we're going to defeat these dozens of great white sharks? Is that even possible?"

The Old Scholar Tree frowned and said, "Ordinary methods will definitely not work, but my Old Ancestor and I do have some ideas, although these methods are somewhat risky."

The great white sharks opposite them were getting restless. Zhou Wanwan asked, "What kind of adventure is it?"

The Old Scholar Tree said, "I inserted my roots into the bodies of these great white sharks, and then slowly controlled them."

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "If it were just one or two, it would be fine, but there are dozens! Can we manage to control them?"

"My Old Ancestor and I are different now than before. I think I can control it, so I want to give it a try."

With you by our side, you can keep supplying us with energy until we drain it all away.

No sooner had the Old Scholar Tree finished speaking than the great white sharks, unable to contain themselves, leaped out of the water and charged toward them.

The Old Scholar Tree has already stretched out its branches, ready for battle.

The Old Ancestor slowly extended the branches into their bodies, beginning to continuously absorb the energy of these great white sharks.

These great white sharks are far more powerful than humans, so the energy within them is terrifying, on a completely different level from that of humans.

The Old Scholar Tree frowned and said, "This is too much energy, Wanwan, can you help us replenish our energy?"

Zhou Wanwan began to replenish their energy, and the Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor continuously absorbed the energy of these great white sharks.

Everyone else was sitting in the treehouse, unaware of what was happening outside.

Two days and one night An'an quietly like this. Liu Su'e said softly from inside, "It's been two days. Doesn't Wanwan need to eat? Should I go and call her?"

Zhou Qingyan shook his head and said, "My sister naturally has her own ideas; it's best if we don't cause trouble."

Liu Su'e said anxiously, "Food is essential for life; how can we go without eating?"

Gu Sinian quickly advised, "Wanwan will eat when she's hungry. This is a crucial moment, so let's not disturb her."

Everyone was anxious, but they didn't know what was happening outside, so they dared not make any rash moves.

Zhou Wanwan kept supplying energy; she had barely slept for the past two days and one night.

Even when she closes her eyes, she will take out some jade stones, which contain a lot of energy and can temporarily sustain her for a while.

With these jade stones to tide her over for a while, Zhou Wanwan would lie down and take a nap.

She didn't feel hungry at all.

Zhou Wanwan lay there for another half an hour before waking up and asking, "Uncle Scholar Tree, how is the situation now?"

The Old Scholar Tree smiled and said, "That's about enough. Even those great white sharks can't take it anymore."

All that could be seen were the bodies of a dozen or so great white sharks floating on the surface of the sea.

Before long, countless marine creatures swam over.

Suddenly, the Old Ancestor burst into laughter. "The last one is done! Now we can finally pass without any obstacles. Those bastards blocked our way for two days!"

Zhou Wanwan also breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, the Old Scholar Tree opened its eyes and said, "Finally, everything is done."

Most of these great white sharks were already dead.

There's still some energy left, but it's running low.

The great white sharks knew things were going badly, and they all swam towards the deeper parts of the sea.

Zhou Wanwan lay on the deck and said, "I'm so tired! I never expected to encounter these creatures in the deep sea."

The Old Scholar Tree laughed heartily:

"Actually, this is a good thing, because we absorbed so much energy this time."

It directly elevated me and my Old Ancestor by a tiny bit.

"Now, even if we go to the capital, we can protect you better."

Our Old Ancestor were still tirelessly transforming seawater into salt.

Seeing how busy her Old Ancestor was, Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "Old Ancestor, you should take a good rest!"

The Old Ancestor said with a "hohoho," "Not tired at all, this salt will be very expensive when it's sold in the capital."

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched slightly as she said, "Selling smuggled salt is illegal in the capital, but luckily we have salt permits, so it's not a big problem."

As long as you have money, obtaining a salt permit is a very simple matter.

It might be difficult for others, but money makes things easier!

Zhou Wanwan has bribed many officials; this is not difficult for her.

The Old Scholar Tree also got involved, and in just half a day, it produced more than a dozen bags of salt.

The Old Scholar Tree sighed and said:

"It's not just people and trees that have become stronger; their ability to make money has also increased."

Who would have thought that we, who used to be just lazing around in the mountains, would become so powerful?

She can also travel the world, but all of this is thanks to Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Actually, I never thought it would turn out like this."

At first, I could only understand what plants were saying; I never imagined it would gradually turn into what we are today.

After a long day of travel, Zhou Wanwan was exhausted and went straight to the treehouse to sleep.

The treehouse was quite spacious, with three small beds. Zhou Wanwan next to Liu Su'e, Liu Su'e tucked her in and said, "We should arrive tomorrow, right?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Old Scholar Tree is quite fast; he should arrive by tomorrow during the day."

However, it's too conspicuous during the day, so let's go to our own yard at night.

Zhou Wanwan slowly drifted off to sleep, unaware of what the capital city would be like.

When Zhou Wanwan woke up, she found herself in bed. Staring blankly at the rosewood bed, she asked, "Where am I?"
