Chapter 7: Chapter 5 Water-Repelling Pearl

Huo Sining fell into the pond, and before she realized what happened, she choked on several mouthfuls of water.

Damn that chubby kid!

In her past life, Huo Longjiang had always seen Huo Sining as a thorn in his side, and even after Huo Sining started working, Huo Longjiang often tripped her up in front of Xu Lian.

Huo Sining cursed inwardly, in her previous life she did not want to haggle with Huo Longjiang, but how could she forget that although he was eight years younger than her, his craftiness was no less than that of Wu Jingyi.

Even though it was midsumr, the water in the pond was ice cold.

Huo Sining, not a swimr by nature, floundered a few tis in the pond and failed to make it back to the shore, instead getting further away from the washing steps.

Huo Sining beca anxious, yet the more anxious she beca, the less she managed to accomplish.

It's like leaking roofs during continuous night rains; just when Huo Sining felt her strength was nearly spent, her legs suddenly began to cramp and twitch.

This is bad, a leg cramp!

Huo Sining felt her leg muscles stiffen, her chest felt tight from swallowing water, and her head was dizzy.

What made her want to cry without tears was that she felt her body slowly sinking deeper.

At that mont, a strange string of characters flashed inexplicably through Huo Sining's mind.

As if possessed, she silently recited the characters in her mind.

Soon, she felt a cool and moist sensation erge from her forehead.

A green pearl appeared in her mind.

She, who had felt suffocated just monts before, found her breath suddenly beco smooth.

Not only that, though she was clearly sinking bit by bit in the water, she couldn't feel the buoyancy of the pond water.

Her body kept falling until she landed at the bottom of the pond, her feet on the mud, yet it was as if she was atop solid ground, not sinking further.

Realizing that the pearl remained inside her forehead, Huo Sining paused, stunned.

Standing on the fine silt of the pond's bottom, she instinctively took a few steps.

It was only when she encountered the smooth, icy pebbles that she realized everything happening was real.

Huo Sining's heart shook massively.

She could actually walk on water as if on flat ground!

Moreover, while in the water, she felt no discomfort at all, her breathing was not affected, and the surrounding water of the pond seed nonexistent!

Not only that, her vision was extrely clear when looking at things underwater; she could see every detail in the light areas of the pond and even in its dark corners.

This kind of event, which only occurred in myths and legends, was actually happening to her!

This was too unbelievable!

With her years of learning and experience, Huo Sining could not explain this at all; it completely overturned her understanding of traditional science!

Thinking of the bizarre string of characters, like an incantation, Huo Sining felt as if she were in a dream.

She was very clear that such a defiance of scientific logic could only be attributed to that strange pearl.

If this pearl was indeed similar to the Water-Repelling Pearl from the myths, why did it appear on her? Did the Liang Family People know of its existence?

If they knew about this pearl, would they stop at nothing to trace it back to her?

If she broke the Jade Pendant, could she avoid the Liang Family smoothly?

Huo Sining was sowhat curious and faintly worried.

However, the thought of possessing the ability to move freely in the water because of a pearl still excited her.

She couldn't swim, but with the Water-Repelling Pearl, she was no longer afraid of water.

Living by the sea in S City, once she got to S City, she was determined to dive into the sea and have a look around.

With the Water-Repelling Pearl, she didn't need any diving equipnt to go underwater.

After all, the deep-sea pressure had no effect on her at all, she could co and go freely without any obstruction, which was much nicer than divers lugging around heavy oxygen tanks!

Thinking of this, Huo Sining felt joyful and was getting ready to walk back to shore.

At that mont, a palm-sized crucian carp actually swam around her.

Apparently having never seen a human-like creature underwater, the fish was not at all afraid and even circled around Huo Sining.

Feeling amused, Huo Sining couldn't help but reach out to catch the fish.

The huge human-like creature unexpectedly attacked it, and the crucian carp realized it needed to escape.

But no matter how fast it responded, it couldn't escape Huo Sining's grasp and was caught within monts.

The crucian carp struggled in Huo Sining's hands but suddenly, as if sensing sothing, cald down and stayed obediently in her palm.

Not only that, it even rubbed against Huo Sining's palm a few tis, looking extrely comfortable.

Huo Sining was stunned and hurriedly opened her hand to let the fish go.

The crucian carp seed not to have grasped the situation, looking at Huo Sining doubtfully for several monts, circling around her reluctantly and not willing to leave.

Huo Sining found this amusing and didn't think much of it.

The pond water was clear, and the aquatic plants and fish were visible.

After letting the crucian carp go, her foot accidentally stepped on a huge clam at the bottom of the pond.

Startled by Huo Sining's disturbance, the clam shrank, trying to retract its plump body.

But Huo Sining had sharp eyes; having spotted it, how could she miss such a rare delicacy?

Catching the clam in her hand, wow, it was as big as two palms!

Huo Sining was delighted; she didn't care for fish, but she particularly enjoyed freshwater delicacies.

Clam at is highly nutritious, especially when stir-fried with chilies and perilla leaves into a spicy dish, the taste was both delicious and complenting to rice.

Even in ordinary restaurants, wild clam at like this was not cheap.

A dish of spicy wild clam at would cost at least forty yuan.

Thinking this, Huo Sining felt her mouth watering.

She subconsciously looked down to find a few more to make a dish, and had just taken a few steps when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Wait a minute...

If wild freshwater delicacies were in demand, why shouldn't she pick up more clams to sell for money?

With the Water-Repelling Pearl in her possession, it would be like child's play for her to collect clams in the water, wouldn't it?

Huo Sining's spirits lifted, and she thought to herself that if that didn't work out, she could also catch so live wild fish to sell. Once she had enough for tuition, she would head to S University to enroll, without worrying about being unable to afford the fees or having to rush to S City to find a job!

The more she thought about it, the more excited Huo Sining beca. Initially concerned that the pearl inside her body might affect her health, she now cast aside those worries, her apprehension and resistance turning into thrill and secret delight.

At this mont, Huo Sining had no idea how powerful a cheat the Water-Repelling Pearl in her hand was, and how it would bring earth-shaking changes to her life in the days to co.

However, the lessons learned in her previous life of dying without a place to bury her kept reminding Huo Sining that innocence is no defense against the charge of holding a jade pendant.

If others discovered that she had the Water-Repelling Pearl, it would undoubtedly bring fatal trouble to her.

Thinking of this, Huo Sining's heart chilled, and her initial excitent gradually cooled down.

She clenched her fists, silently cautioning herself that although the idea of selling freshwater and live fish was good, she had to plan carefully for the long term.
