### Chapter 518: Ocean, Here Comes Ye Xiu
Ye Xiu stood aside and glanced over, calling out in his heart, "Good gracious." One after another, it was all treasures. Every single one was a treasure.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think his phone was connected to another world. Playing Digimon, perhaps? Ridiculous.
Watching as the beautiful woman’s smiling face gradually turned gloomy and then collected into a scowl, the man’s face changed as well.
“Baby, let me explain…”
“Don’t call me baby, disgusting!” The woman glared and cursed, “Pah! You scumbag! I knew you were fooling around, but I didn’t think you had notes on over a dozen women! And you even used a backup phone! If I hadn’t suspected something, were you planning to be the emperor with a harem of beauties?”
“It’s not like that, darling, please listen…”
“Get lost! Just looking at you makes me sick! Get out!”
Bang!
The beauty turned and stormed into the lounge, slamming the door behind her.
The man stood at the door, pounding on it furiously, but there was no response.
Ye Xiu stood aside and said, “Stop knocking. She won’t open the door.”
The man stopped.
Swish!
He turned abruptly, glaring at Ye Xiu. That look, as if he wanted to eat Ye Xiu alive. Damn it, if you hadn’t picked up my purposely discarded backup phone, would this have happened?
All your fault! And you still have the nerve to talk?
“Kid, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?” the man shouted angrily.
Ye Xiu smiled and replied, “If I said I didn’t do it on purpose, you wouldn’t believe me, right?”
The man stared at Ye Xiu, “Look at my lips: Ha-ha-ha!”
“In that case.”
Ye Xiu shrugged and spread his hands, “Okay, I admit it. I did it on purpose.”
“You bastard!”
The man lunged forward, raising his hand to hit him.
But.
Swish!
Ye Xiu deftly grabbed the man's hand, pinning it down. No matter how hard the man tried, he couldn’t move it. Their hands clasped together, it looked like a handshake, except the man’s forehead veins bulged, his face contorted.
Ye Xiu smiled, “Allow me to introduce myself formally. My name is Ye Xiu. Nice to meet you. So, you’re a ‘sea king’?”
The man’s face twisted. Play or not, could you drop the ‘sea king’ part? You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?
“I was just here to return your phone, nothing more. Farewell. Maybe we’ll meet again.”
Ye Xiu let go, waved at the scowling man, and walked away gracefully. The man was left standing there, his face contorting with rage.
“Ding, you have returned the phone to its owner, reward: basic fishing skills. Ding, you have exposed the ‘sea king’s identity, reward: secondary animal communication skills (limited to simple commands similar to taming).”
Oh.
Hearing the system’s rewards, Ye Xiu’s eyes sparkled. He thought gleefully, I should thank you, Mr. Sea King.
Soon, Ye Xiu mastered his new abilities. Basic fishing skills meant he could stand on a boat, look into the sea, and know where the fish were, how many there were.
His mind filled with fishing knowledge, as if he had become a seasoned fisherman overnight.
As for secondary animal communication skills, it was similar to how trainers at an aquarium might tame dolphins. A wave of the hand, and the dolphin would come. A spin of the finger, and the dolphin would twirl.
Although it was secondary, it was stronger than the usual training abilities. Animals could understand some simple commands from Ye Xiu.
This was strong.
Thinking about the sea king from earlier, Ye Xiu smacked his lips. Was this some kind of luck transfer technique? Because at this rate, it seemed... he was the true ‘sea king’~~
“Tsk, never mind. Time to get back to business.”
Ye Xiu shook his head, grabbed his tools, and resumed his work.
Picking up trash.
After about an hour, he finished cleaning the area. Then, he took Liu Wenyue and the others to enjoy some activities. Playing beach volleyball, rowing, having fun. Afterward, they went to two other beaches, cleaned up, and enjoyed the experience.
It was a fulfilling and happy afternoon.
...
The next day.
At Baoshan Wusongkou Pier.
After greeting his parents, Ye Xiu boarded the Costa Serena cruise ship that had been docked for a long time. The ocean journey began.
Standing on the deck, facing the sea breeze, looking at the vast, endless ocean, Ye Xiu smiled, spread his arms, and said, “Ocean, here comes Ye Xiu!”
