“So, Ye Feng, did you manage to find anything else nearby?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao asked, pausing her task. She and the other two were still joyfully gathering sea cucumbers when they spotted Ye Feng returning.
Hai Ling’er watched him with equal curiosity.
She was sensible enough to know when not to pry, however. Despite the inquisitive look in her eyes, she remained silent.
Hai Xiaoyao, being much more straightforward, naturally joined the conversation. “Finding such a massive cluster of sea cucumbers is already a blessing from Mazu. Surely there couldn’t be anything else valuable around here, right?”
Without saying a word, Ye Feng reached into his basket and pulled out a White Jade Sea Cucumber, presenting it to the group. “Our luck is holding up quite well. I discovered this tucked behind a rock formation over there.”
“Is that…” Hai Xiaoyao’s jaw hit the floor at the sight of the creature, which possessed the exquisite beauty of polished white jade.
“Oh my god!” He finally reacted, instantly dropping the sea cucumber he was holding to sprint toward Ye Feng. He leaned in, scrutinizing the white specimen with intense focus.
“A white sea cucumber?” Both Hai Ling’er and Zhuang Xiaoqiao hurried over to get a closer look.
“It’s stunning. It looks like it was meticulously carved from white jade,” Zhuang Xiaoqiao remarked. Not recognizing the species, she was simply struck by its aesthetic appeal.
Hai Ling’er’s eyes widened in shock. “This is the king of all sea cucumbers—the White Jade Sea Cucumber.”
“Brother Ye Feng, your luck is truly invincible.”
“You might not find a single one of these among 100,000 ordinary sea cucumbers. In our village, we’re lucky to see one every two or three years, yet you actually found one!”
“Furthermore, this White Jade Sea Cucumber of yours is remarkably large. If you were to sell it, it would likely fetch at least a hundred thousand yuan!”
The weight of the situation finally dawned on Zhuang Xiaoqiao. “Is this thing really that valuable?”
Hai Ling’er nodded vigorously. “The last time a villager found one, it was smaller than this. He made a single call, and a high-end hotel sent a chartered helicopter to pick it up that same night after paying him 100,000 yuan.”
“I’ve heard these are incredibly sought after in elite restaurants, particularly those in Xiangjiang City.”
“When that hotel owner left, she specifically provided a contact number for the village. She told us to call her the moment another one is found, promising to rush over and buy it at a premium price.”
Hai Xiaoyao looked on with pure, unadulterated admiration. “Big Brother Ye Feng, you’ve struck it rich finding a White Jade Sea Cucumber like this!”
“Think of all the delicious food and toys this could be traded for!”
Ye Feng chuckled as he fished another White Jade Sea Cucumber out of his basket. “Actually, there isn't just one. I found a pair of them.”
“Oh my god!” Both Hai Xiaoyao and Hai Ling’er stood frozen, their mouths agape.
This was a legendary White Jade Sea Cucumber they were talking about.
On this tiny island, it was a rarity that appeared once every few years.
Yet, Ye Feng had just casually produced two of them.
After the initial shock wore off, Hai Ling’er regained her composure and spoke quickly. “Brother Ye Feng, do you want us to get that restaurant owner’s phone number for you?”
“With how large and beautiful these two are, I bet she would pay at least 300,000 yuan for the pair!”
Ye Feng noticed the eager glint in Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s eyes and shook his head with a smile. “Why would I want to sell them?”
“We aren't hurting for that amount of money. We might as well take them back and see how they taste.”
As he expected, Zhuang Xiaoqiao immediately nodded in enthusiastic agreement.
“I’ve eaten plenty of sea cucumbers, but I’ve never had a White Jade Sea Cucumber before.”
“I definitely need to try some later.”
Seeing their resolve, Hai Ling’er didn't try to change their minds. She thought for a moment before adding, “When we return, I’ll consult the village Elders to find out the best way to prepare this.”
Ye Feng gave a satisfied smile and gestured for the group to finish gathering the rest of the sea cucumbers. He then began walking toward the stretch of beach where Yang Wei and Hai Li were busy digging for the razor clam king.
He was ready to execute the final stage of his plan to deal with the couple today.
