Chapter 79: Everyone Was Astonished! This Herb Is Truly Miraculous!

Huang Bin was utterly astonished by the bay before him. He had seen the clarity of these waters in a video call with Chu Lin before, but what lay before his eyes now far surpassed anything he had witnessed on screen. The transparency was simply unbelievable. Even from a distance, he could see the fish and shrimp swimming beneath the surface with perfect clarity. What truly captivated him, though, were the underwater meadows of sea grass—those luminous green stretches were so beautiful that he could not tear his gaze away.

He remembered clearly: the first time he accompanied Chu Lin to rent this bay, there had been no sea grass at all. So these must have been planted in less than two months. The speed was astonishing.

Liu Yan and Li Qian were equally stunned by the sight before them.

“How is this possible?” Liu Yan rubbed her eyes, incredulous. She had visited coastal resorts everywhere, including the world-renowned, crystal-clear Marzoi Sea. She could say with certainty—even the waters of Marzoi were not this pristine. The difference was obvious at a glance. She could hardly believe that such clear waters existed in Min City. Had someone merely told her about it instead of seeing it herself, she would have thought they were dreaming.

“Chu Lin, what… what’s going on with this water?” Li Qian asked, her voice full of surprise. Having lived in Min City for so long, she knew all too well what the local waters were like. What lay before her now was simply not something Min City could possess.

Liu Yan and Huang Bin both looked curiously at Chu Lin, eager for an explanation. They knew this kind of water was impossible for Min City.

“Did you see those sea grasses on the seabed?” Chu Lin pointed to the bay and explained, “Those are sunflower grasses.”

Huang Bin and Li Qian were baffled. They had asked about the water, not the sea grass—what did his answer mean? Could it really be because of these sea grasses?

“Sunflower grass?” Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise, “Is its effect really this incredible?”

“Yan, do you know about sunflower grass?” Huang Bin asked, curiosity written all over his face.

Liu Yan explained, “I heard about it when I studied abroad. Sunflower grass is a rare, nearly extinct sea grass—not only can it purify seawater, it also freshens the air. And its price is astronomical, reserved exclusively for the world’s richest tycoons.”

“So you’re saying, the water is purified by these sea grasses?” Li Qian was astonished; she had never imagined a sea grass could work such wonders.

Liu Yan nodded, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen sunflower grass. I never imagined its purifying effect could be so overwhelming. But I remember it’s extremely difficult to cultivate—there was a super-rich magnate in Min City who tried, but it simply wouldn’t survive here.”

“That’s because none of them have Chu Lin’s skills,” Huang Bin said proudly in defense of his friend.

Difficult to cultivate? He knew best—Chu Lin had managed to bring forth these sunflower grasses in less than two months. Still, now that he understood how extraordinary the grass was, he wouldn’t mention it unless Chu Lin did; instead, he shifted the topic, “Yan, you said sunflower grass also freshens the air. It really does feel nicer out here.”

Instantly, Liu Yan and Li Qian were drawn to his words. They hadn’t paid much attention before, but now, as they took it in, they realized the air truly was different—noticeably fresher.

Chu Lin then reminded them, “Remember to dive into the water in a moment—you’ll be even more amazed!”

The underwater meadow’s attributes of +1 for viewing pleasure and +1 for beauty required a firsthand underwater experience to be fully appreciated.

Hearing Chu Lin’s words, Huang Bin and Liu Yan were eager to try. They quickly took each other’s hand and headed to the changing room. Moments later, they emerged in their swimwear.

Liu Yan’s bikini drew every eye—a daring three-strand design held together by a single strap. It was clear this young woman was bold and uninhibited. Yet Liu Yan was perfectly at ease, pulling Huang Bin along with her for a dive.

Both recalled Chu Lin’s words and couldn’t wait to plunge beneath the surface to see for themselves. Within moments, they were struck speechless by the underwater scene. The swaying meadow below was indescribable; their hearts were deeply moved.

It was too beautiful, too breathtaking.

Outside, Chu Lin smiled at Li Qian, “Qian, go change too. I’ll grab the juicer and fruit for you—whenever you want a drink, I’ll make it.”

With everything prepared, he said this to ensure she had a pleasant experience.

“Okay!” Li Qian was delighted, cheerfully picking out her bikini and heading to the changing room.

Chu Lin smiled and walked toward a platform at the breeding facility, where Liu Fa had placed the juicer and fruit as instructed.

When he returned to the bay, Li Qian had already emerged from the changing room and was cautiously stepping into the water, half-submerged.

His gaze was immediately drawn to her sexy white lace bikini. Though not as daring as Liu Yan’s single-strap style, it was a strappy tank top design—covering only the most sensitive areas, leaving the rest a stunning landscape.

Most importantly, this was just the style he liked—neither overly provocative nor lacking the allure of a bikini.

Chu Lin quickly set down the items and entered the changing room himself, putting on his swim trunks. Now was not the time to simply watch; he needed to join her for some fun in the water.

Moments later, he dove in with a splash, swimming underwater to Li Qian’s side.

Li Qian immediately sensed two mischievous hands at her waist. “Chu Lin, do I look good in this?” she asked.

“Mmm, you have excellent taste—I like it,” Chu Lin replied, expressing his satisfaction.

Li Qian giggled, a little pleased with herself. “My cousin picked it for me. She said you would definitely like it.”

Chu Lin was momentarily stunned—his first love had chosen a bikini for her cousin to wear for him to admire? In truth, Li Siyin really did know him well. After all, his understanding, exploration, and preferences regarding women had all begun with her.

He didn’t wish to dwell on that first love. He immediately pulled Li Qian underwater, letting her admire the underwater meadow.

Once submerged, Li Qian was as awestruck as Liu Yan and Huang Bin had been. She had never imagined a meadow could grow beneath the sea, and it was so enchanting, so beautiful she could not look away.

At that moment, Liu Yan and Huang Bin surfaced once more, their faces still bearing the shock that the underwater meadow had given them.

“Damn, this underwater meadow is incredible,” Huang Bin said, unable to contain his amazement.

“Absolutely,” Liu Yan nodded instinctively. “I feel like anyone who hasn’t been here can’t claim to have seen the world’s clearest sea.”

Then she asked, “By the way, can we post this on our social media? It’d be such a shame not to share this beautiful sea with a photo or video.”

Huang Bin thought about it; Chu Lin had posted before. “Just say you’re in Sanya, not Min City.”

“Right!” Liu Yan agreed. She understood—this was Chu Lin’s private domain; it wouldn’t do to bring him trouble.

If her boyfriend said no, she wouldn’t mind—she could at least take a few photos.

She immediately pulled Huang Bin over to sit beneath a beach umbrella and took a video of the incredibly clear sea, then edited and uploaded it: “Haha, rare leisure time, playing in Sanya, found the most beautiful sea—this trip is truly unforgettable.”

Within moments of uploading, her friends began liking and asking:

“Yan, where in Sanya is this? It’s gorgeous! Tell me, I’ll fly over to join you!”

“Yan, I’m in Sanya too—tell me your location!”

“You know, I’m at the Love Sea. I thought the water here was clear, but now I’m flying to Sanya. Please send the location!”

…

Moments later, Chu Lin surfaced with Li Qian. The girl wasn’t a strong swimmer—after just one dive, she was out of breath, clinging to Chu Lin’s waist with her soft body almost draped over him.

Chu Lin felt the moment was right and whispered in her ear, “My girlfriend won’t be staying here tonight.”

Li Qian looked up at him instinctively, speaking quietly, “Then can I stay and keep you company?”

Her heart raced at her own words, for it was thrilling—not only was she sneaking into Chu Lin’s girlfriend’s home, she was planning to stay overnight, sleep in her bed.

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She realized she was truly becoming a bad girl.

But she was helplessly drawn into Chu Lin’s orbit, unable to restrain her little thoughts.

“And what if I want to take an unconventional path?” Chu Lin asked softly.

“What do you mean, an unconventional path?” Li Qian was clearly puzzled.

Chu Lin spoke teasingly, “Once there was a man who always entered the mountain through the proper cave at the front. One day, he accidentally wandered to the back and discovered a small path leading in. From then on, he liked to take this little trail, calling it ‘a path to hidden wonders.’”

“Oh!” Even if she were slow, Li Qian understood now. Her whole face buried in Chu Lin’s embrace, speechless but accepting.
