“Ye Feng, how did it go? Did you find anything else in the other areas?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao and the others were still joyfully gathering sea cucumbers. Seeing Ye Feng return, Zhuang Xiaoqiao was the first to pause her work and inquire.
Hai Ling’er was equally curious.
However, she possessed more restraint. Knowing it was better not to pry, she kept her questions to herself despite the curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
In contrast, Hai Xiaoyao was a straightforward person. He naturally chimed in, “Finding such a massive colony of sea cucumbers is already a blessing from Mazu. There probably isn’t anything else valuable around here, right?”
Without saying much, Ye Feng reached into his basket and pulled out a White Jade Sea Cucumber to show the trio. “Our luck is actually quite good. I discovered this behind a rock formation over there.”
“This is...” Hai Xiaoyao’s jaw hit the floor at the sight of the creature, which possessed a beauty reminiscent of carved white jade.
“Oh my god!” He finally reacted, instantly dropping the sea cucumber he was holding to rush toward Ye Feng, scrutinizing the white specimen with intense focus.
“A white sea cucumber?” Hai Ling’er and Zhuang Xiaoqiao hurried over as well.
“It’s so stunning. It looks like it was sculpted from white jade,” Zhuang Xiaoqiao remarked. She didn't recognize the species; she simply found it aesthetically pleasing.
Hai Ling’er’s eyes widened in shock. “This is the king of sea cucumbers—the White Jade Sea Cucumber.”
“Brother Ye Feng, your luck is truly invincible.”
“Among 100,000 sea cucumbers, there might not even be one of these. In our village, it’s rare to see even one every two or three years, yet you actually found one!”
“And this White Jade Sea Cucumber of yours is quite massive. If you were to sell it, it would probably fetch at least a hundred thousand!”
Only then did the significance dawn on Zhuang Xiaoqiao. “Is this thing really that valuable?”
Hai Ling’er nodded vigorously. “The last time a villager found one, it was slightly smaller than this. He made a single call, and a major hotel from the city sent a rented helicopter to collect it overnight after paying 100,000 yuan.”
“I’ve heard these are incredibly sought after in high-end restaurants, particularly in Xiangjiang City.”
“When the hotel owner left last time, she specifically left a contact number for the village. She told us to call her immediately if another was found, promising to rush over and buy it for a premium price.”
Hai Xiaoyao was filled with pure admiration. “Big Brother Ye Feng, you’ve struck it rich finding a White Jade Sea Cucumber like this!”
“This single sea cucumber could be traded for so many toys and delicious treats!”
Ye Feng chuckled as he pulled a second White Jade Sea Cucumber from his basket. “Actually, there’s more than one. I found a pair of them.”
“Oh my god!” Both Hai Xiaoyao and Hai Ling’er stood there with their mouths agape.
This was a legendary White Jade Sea Cucumber they were talking about.
On this isolated island, finding just one was a once-in-three-years event.
Yet, Ye Feng had effortlessly retrieved two.
After a moment of stunned silence, 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?”
“These two are so large and pristine. If you sell them to her, I bet you could get at least 300,000 yuan!”
Ye Feng noticed the eager, inquisitive look in Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s eyes and smiled while shaking his head. “Why would I sell them?”
“We aren't hurting for that small amount of money. We might as well take them back and see how they taste.”
As he expected, Zhuang Xiaoqiao immediately nodded in agreement.
“I’ve eaten plenty of sea cucumbers, but I’ve never had a White Jade Sea Cucumber before.”
“I definitely need to try it later.”
Seeing their resolve, Hai Ling’er didn’t try to change their minds. She thought for a bit before saying, “Once we return, I’ll consult the village Elders on the best way to prepare this delicacy.”
Ye Feng gave a smile and signaled for the group to finish gathering the sea cucumbers. He then began walking toward the beach where Yang Wei and Hai Li were busy digging for the razor clam king.
He was ready to execute the final phase of his plan to toy with the couple today.
