Extra 6: They Met Ye Xueyan While Riding Orcas (continued)

Yan Kexing: "The scenery is indeed completely different from that of N City."

Shi Wen, "Right? It feels pretty good to travel around the beautiful landscapes of our motherland."

The two drove along the national highway, stopping whenever they got tired to buy a coffee and slowly enjoy the sea view.

Around noon, follow the navigation to the pier to buy the freshest seafood and find a local restaurant to cook it.

The restaurants outside don't generally have exceptionally good cooking skills, but they're also generally reliable. Whether it's stir-fried dishes with ginger and garlic, spicy stir-fries, or salt-baked, steamed, or grilled, everything is delicious.

Fresh seafood is probably plump enough that it tastes good no matter how it's cooked.

That noon, after finishing his meal, Shi Wen took out his phone to look at travel guides.

After looking at it for a while, his eyes lit up, and he held the phone up to Yan Kexing: "Look at this travel guide, some people online say you can see orcas in this bay."

Yan Kexing glanced at the list and said, "Let's find a hotel to rest for a bit, and go later. It's a 70-minute drive, so we can watch the sunset there and then have dinner locally or back in the city."

Shi Wen clenched his fist and said, "I think it's a good idea. The sun won't be so strong after a while."

The ultraviolet rays at the beach are terrifyingly strong. Even people accustomed to pastoral life Shi Wen find it a bit too sunny. Luckily, he's Qilin and not so afraid of the sun, otherwise, this sunlight could really cause sunburn.

Shi Wen had a wonderful nap in the hotel, cuddling Yan Kexing. Around 2 PM, he took Yan Kexing off to see the orcas.

The internet says you need to be extremely lucky to see orcas, Shi Wen didn't take it to heart. He's always been lucky, so his wish shouldn't be in vain.

Furthermore, as a marine mammal, orcas should also fall under the jurisdiction of the Qilin.

Although he can't find animal trails by following the tracks on land like he can on land, he should still be able to find some clues.

If all else fails, there's still Yan Kexing, the Yinglong; at least we won't return empty-handed.

Thinking of this, Shi Wen, holding onto the seatbelt, asked excitedly, "Can you take me swimming in the sea later? Yinglong should be able to swim, right?"

Yan Kexing: "Yes, I can take you snorkeling."

Shi Wen, "That's great! Let's charge!"

The car sped along the highway, arriving at the bay mentioned in the travel guide within seventy minutes.

This bay is too remote; there's nobody around, not even tourists.

However, judging from the tire tracks on the ground, people probably come here occasionally.

Shi Wen and asked, "How do we spot the orcas? Should we wait here for a while, or go straight into the sea to look for them?"

Yan Kexing asked, "Would you like to try paddleboarding?"

Shi Wen's eyes widened. "Where did this paddleboard come from?"

Yan Kexing: "There are inflatable paddleboards in the trunk, just delivered this afternoon. It's a bit dangerous for most people to paddleboard in unfamiliar waters like this, but we're fine. Play for a while, then I'll take you snorkeling to look for killer whales."

Shi Wen immediately exclaimed, "Play! Play! I want to play!"

The two went to the trunk to get the paddleboards and inflated them.

Shi Wen running quickly towards the beach, paddleboards in hand.

Yan Kexing followed slowly behind him, carrying the oar.

Today is calm and peaceful, a perfect day for paddleboarding.

Shi Wen threw the paddleboard into the water, pulled Yan Kexing to stand on the paddleboard, and quickly learned to paddle without any instruction.

This is so much fun!

Yan Kexing sat on the paddleboard and watched him row slowly.

The water rippled, the sea and sky merged into one, Shi Wen of the boat drifting further and further away.

However, neither of them are human, so it doesn't matter if they fly a little further away; they can always fly back later.

Just as Shi Wen this, he suddenly saw black fish fins appear on the surface of the sea.

He paused for a moment, then turned and called out, "Yan Kexing, look ahead!"

Yan Kexing looked up and asked, "What's up ahead? Are the orcas coming?"

Shi Wen, "It seems so."

Although Shi Wen wasn't familiar with marine life, he could sense that what was approaching was a mammal.

If it were a shark, it probably wouldn't feel like this.

Shi Wen at the black fins protruding from the sea, Shi Wen wondered, "Why are they only showing their fins? Are they pretending to be sharks to scare us? I read online that some orcas have the malicious habit of pretending to be sharks to frighten people because they know humans aren't afraid of orcas."

Yan Kexing looked ahead and smiled, "That's quite possible."

Shi Wen, "So what do we do now? Should we expose them?"

Yan Kexing: "Come here."

Shi Wen walked over, sat on Yan Kexing's shoulders, and carefully put away the clothes that Yan Kexing had taken off.

Yan Kexing grabbed his calf, transformed back into his dragon form, and flew away in an instant.

The orca was already very close to them, about to emerge from the water to scare them, when it suddenly saw a dragon. Instead of scaring them, it was startled and cried out, quickly swimming back into the water.

They are marine mammals, and they should have been breathing at this time. In the emergency, they didn't have time to breathe and instead went back underwater, almost choking.

Fortunately, Yan Kexing showed no intention of pursuing them, allowing them to catch their breath.

The orcas surfaced from the water, looking at them with fear and unease.

These round, chubby orcas look quite cute.

I temporarily forgave their pranks because of their good Shi Wen.

Shi Wen them waving at the orcas, like calling to a puppy, trying to call them over.

The orcas understood. They looked at each other, swam around in the water, mouths agape, calling out, still hesitant.

Shi Wen, then took out the dried meat they were eating from his pocket, tossed it gently into the water.

An orca instinctively leaped out of the water, opened its mouth wide, caught the palm-sized piece of jerky, chewed it, swallowed it, and then its eyes immediately lit up.

It opened its mouth and let out another long cry, this time with a hint of coquetry in its voice.

The other orcas swarmed around them, swimming right in front of Shi Wen and the others, opening their mouths and begging, wanting to eat the jerky too.
