Since the auction was three days away, Ye Feng woke up early the next morning and prepared to go fishing.
After his Sea God technique had been cultivated to the second level, his vision underwater became much wider. He now spent his free time exploring the seabed.
After all, it was full of treasures! If he got lucky and found a few more blue and white lotus patterned large bowls, he would be rich again.
However, just as he was about to leave, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was Xiao Feifei calling.
"Hello, Brother Ye Feng, do you have time tomorrow?" Xiao Feifei's voice came from the other end when he answered the phone.
But Ye Feng found her voice strange today. Her tone or attitude seemed different.
In the past, Xiao Feifei always spoke to Ye Feng with annoyance, calling him a scoundrel or an idiot.
Only recently, after they had gotten along better, did she change this habit. However, she still spoke like a spoiled young lady, willful and capricious.
But at this moment, Xiao Feifei's voice was exceptionally gentle, especially the word "brother," which made him feel a sense of weakness all over.
This made Ye Feng very uncomfortable, and goosebumps rose on his skin. He always felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Tomorrow? I don't seem to have anything planned for tomorrow? What's wrong?" Ye Feng replied truthfully, though he was puzzled.
Xiao Feifei was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "It's great that you have nothing planned! Tomorrow is my birthday, and I solemnly invite you to attend!"
"Your birthday? The former mayor just celebrated his birthday yesterday, and tomorrow is yours?"
Ye Feng was a little surprised. Their birthdays seemed to be one after another, and he was almost too busy to keep up.
"That's right! You must come! Oh, and make sure to dress up nicely and look handsome!" Xiao Feifei instructed.
This left Ye Feng speechless, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Okay! I understand!" Ye Feng nodded and said.
After all, they were boyfriend and girlfriend, or rather, friends who had pretended to be each other's boyfriend and girlfriend. He had to go congratulate her on her birthday.
"By the way, what are you doing now?" Xiao Feifei suddenly asked again as Ye Feng was about to hang up.
"Nothing much! I'm just about to go fishing!" Ye Feng replied honestly.
When Xiao Feifei heard that Ye Feng was going fishing, she immediately got excited and said, "Fishing? That's great! It's my birthday tomorrow, so can you try to catch some precious and rare seafood! We can use it as the main course!"
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Okay! I'll definitely catch a few of the most precious catches for you!"
After Xiao Feifei hung up, Ye Feng muttered to himself, "Tomorrow is Feifei's birthday, so I need to prepare a gift! But what should I give her!"
Ye Feng thought for a long time but couldn't think of a good gift. Helplessly, he decided to just browse a gift shop tomorrow.
Thus, Ye Feng arrived at the seaside and dove straight into the ocean.
He had originally planned to visit the huge rift valley he had found on the seabed last time. After all, he had found three blue and white lotus patterned large bowls there, and there might be many more treasures inside.
But he couldn't do that today because he had to catch some fish first. After all, it was Xiao Feifei's birthday tomorrow, and he would be embarrassed to give her something if he didn't catch a few good items.
Ye Feng took his tools and dived straight to the seabed.
At this moment, a colossal creature suddenly swam towards Ye Feng, its massive dark shadow enveloping him.
However, Ye Feng was not afraid at all. Instead, he stopped and greeted the colossal creature, "Xiaobai, haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"
The colossal creature immediately swam down and rubbed its huge cheeks against Ye Feng's body, making whimpering sounds like a spoiled puppy.
That's right, this colossal creature was none other than Ye Feng's great white shark, Xiaobai.
"Alright, alright! You keep watch around here, I'll get some fish first!" Ye Feng said while stroking Xiaobai.
Xiaobai immediately nodded, looking obedient.
Thus, Ye Feng searched below, and Xiaobai followed behind him, protecting him.
However, for some reason, after searching for an hour, he didn't find any precious or rare seafood, only cheap fish and shrimp.
"Damn it! Am I this unlucky today? I haven't encountered anything good!" Ye Feng grumbled discontentedly and continued searching.
But his luck was truly bad today. After wandering the seabed for another half hour, he still found nothing. He didn't see a single valuable seafood like the red grouper or the Chinese spiny lobster.
It felt as if those creatures had all agreed to hide.
"To hell with it, I don't believe there are none! Xiaobai, don't just follow me around, go explore and help me look!" Ye Feng said as he saw Xiaobai foolishly trailing behind him.
Actually, Ye Feng didn't expect Xiaobai to really help him find red groupers or Chinese spiny lobsters.
He just felt that perhaps because Xiaobai was around, those fish and shrimp were afraid and had already hidden, as who wouldn't fear such an overlord of the ocean.
However, even after Xiaobai left, Ye Feng still couldn't find any precious or rare seafood.
"Could it be that I've caught them all recently by fishing in this area?" Ye Feng muttered to himself, preparing to search further away.
But just then, he suddenly saw a small bright spot in front of him. Although it wasn't large, the light was dazzling.
After all, this was dozens of meters underwater, and sunlight could hardly penetrate. The surroundings were quite dim, so this scene was clearly not normal.
Ye Feng swam over quickly and found a large clam shell. However, as soon as he approached, the clam shell immediately closed.
Ye Feng looked closely and found that this clam shell was about two to three times larger than the ones he usually saw. Its texture was exceptionally rough, indicating it was quite old.
Ye Feng wanted to pry it open to take a look, but the clam shell was closed too tightly for him to open it.
After trying several times without success, he was very frustrated. Just as he was about to find a rock to smash it open, he suddenly felt a call from Xiaobai.
Ye Feng and Xiaobai had a strange connection, allowing them to sense each other's emotional fluctuations and intentions.
At this moment, Xiaobai was calling Ye Feng from not far away, sounding somewhat excited.
"Looks like I'll have to go back and use tools to open it!" Ye Feng quickly grabbed the clam shell and swam towards Xiaobai.
In a short while, Ye Feng saw Xiaobai swimming back and forth in front of a crevice in a rock. There seemed to be something inside the crevice.
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurried forward and said, "Xiaobai, what did you find? Let me see!"
When Xiaobai saw Ye Feng approaching, it immediately moved aside. Ye Feng leaned forward and saw two large blue claws blocking the entrance of the crevice.
"Are these lobster claws? But why are they blue? Hmm? Blue, this, is this... a blue lobster?"
