"Kid, you're too arrogant," Hong Nan finally changed his expression. He could tell that Wang Xiaoqiang was no ordinary person, but if he really annoyed him, he would still throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.

"Arrogant? If I am arrogant, what can you do about it?" Wang Xiaoqiang sneered in response.

"Then I want to ask, why do you have the nerve to be arrogant? What gives you the right?" Hong Nan pulled a chain out of his sleeve.

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed when he saw the chain. Isn't this the weapon used by Chen Haonan in those street gang stories? Could it be that this Hong Nan is just a copycat?

"You can call Huang Kunlun and ask why I have the nerves to be arrogant, what's my capital for it?" Seeing Hong Nan about to make a move, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't be bothered to lift a hand and just said to Hong Nan.

"Uncle Nan, don't waste words on this kid. Let me take him down first," Zhang Bao yelled.

At these words, Hong Nan was shaken to the core, grabbing Zhang Bao with one hand and flinging him out of the private room, then immediately took out his mobile phone to call Huang Kunlun, "Hello, Master Huang, sorry to disturb you,"

"What's the matter?" Huang Kunlun's voice was calm, devoid of any emotional tone.

"I'm inquiring about someone, Wang, Wang Xiaoqiang. Do you know him?" Hong Nan sounded somewhat apprehensive.

"Wang Xiaoqiang... What's wrong, did you offend him?" Huang Kunlun's heart leaped as soon as he heard Wang Xiaoqiang's name, and his thoughts immediately went to the worst.

"Yes, there's a bit of a misunderstanding."

Hong Nan hadn't finished speaking when Huang Kunlun had already hung up. Hearing the busy tone, Hong Nan felt a chill down his spine. He thought to himself how lucky he was not to have acted against Wang Xiaoqiang, otherwise, it would have been over for him. Now, so many people are vying for the title of the boss of the Southern District, and with just one word from Huang Kunlun, he could be made to step down, to roll out of Hong Kong. He could even be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

Huang Kunlun immediately called Wang Xiaoqiang after hanging up. When Wang Xiaoqiang saw it was Huang Kunlun calling, he answered,

"Hello, Mr. Wang. Has someone named Hong Nan offended you?"

"Yes, his restaurant wouldn't let me in to eat... But he was quite polite in his words, so let's just forget it," Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to pursue the matter further and said.

"Mr. Wang, you don't have to be polite with me. Just tell me how you want him to die," Huang Kunlun naturally knew how formidable Wang Xiaoqiang was. If not for Wang Xiaoqiang, he would have been eliminated long ago. Now, he wouldn't be the big boss of the entire Hong Kong. What was the sacrifice of a subordinate for Wang Xiaoqiang after all?

"I said, forget it, don't pursue it any further. However, there's a kid named Zhang Bao who needs to be taught a lesson," Wang Xiaoqiang replied.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I understand."

After Wang Xiaoqiang hung up the phone, he continued to eat.

Soon, Hong Nan dragged Zhang Bao back in, kicked him to his knees as soon as they entered the private room, and then knelt down himself, "Mr. Wang, I was blind to your greatness and offended you. But you were generous enough to spare me, and I'm very thankful. What should we do with this Zhang Bao?"

"He dared to disrespect my wife. Cripple him, make sure he can never touch a woman again for the rest of his life," Wang Xiaoqiang said coldly.

"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me," Zhang Bao begged, kowtowing to Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Yes, I know what to do," said Hong Nan and immediately dragged Zhang Bao away.

After the meal, Wang Xiaoqiang and Qiao Zhi went for another dive under the sea.

The ocean is beautiful, and it is unpredictable. When the weather is clear, the sea's blue waves stretch to the horizon, appearing grand, solemn, and calm; when the storm arrives, it suddenly whips up terrifying waves, surging powerfully and menacingly enough to make one's heart skip a beat.

The shallow sea is a world full of color, where marine life bathes in the bright, warm waters; amazing little fish roam through the dazzling coral clusters, and strange and adorable shellfish, starfish, jellyfish, and various colored seaweed dance with the waves, creating a beautiful picture.

On land, there are trees, flowers, and plants that form dense forests, grasslands, or green gardens. In the ocean, plants are called seaweed, some of which are so small they can only be seen with a microscope magnified dozens or hundreds of times. They are composed of single cells or a string of cells, growing branches and leaves of different colors, floating with their branches and leaves in the water. The growth and reproduction rates of single-celled seaweed are very fast, expanding many times over in a single day. Although they are constantly being eaten by various fish and shrimp, their numbers remain vast.

In the 1980s, British people began using helmet diving apparatus, which compressed air into the helmets through tubes above the water, allowing divers to breathe, the precursor to modern diving equipment. Large seaweeds can be dozens or even hundreds of meters long, their soft bodies clinging tightly to the sea floor, swaying back and forth with the wave impacts, yet are not easily broken. Seaweed holds high economic value, such as the kelp, nori, and stonecrop from China's shallow seas, which are excellent food sources, and some can also be refined into industrial raw materials like iodine, bromine, and pharmaceutical ingredients. Seaweed is a source of food for marine animals. Some marine animals are herbivores, and others rely on eating these "grazing" animals to survive,

thus, all marine animals depend on seaweed for sustenance. Like land plants, seaweed cannot survive without sunlight. During their life process, the marine green plants absorb nutrients from the seawater and synthesize organic matter through photosynthesis with sunlight, to meet the needs of marine plant life.

Photosynthesis requires sunlight. Sunlight can only penetrate the surface layer of the sea water, enabling seaweed to live only in the shallow sea or on the surface of the ocean, with large seaweeds only able to live on the beach and within a few tens of meters below the sea surface.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang's Spirit Spring Submarine lacks a breathing apparatus, because Wang Xiaoqiang is a cultivator, he can use Spiritual Energy in place of oxygen. Thus, he wouldn't suffocate on the sea floor.

The two enjoyed a marvelous dive into the underwater world, as if they were two happy fish. Qiao Zhi, an emotionally rich person, suddenly remembered the theme song of Deep Sea Rescue while under the sea and began to hum it softly.

Let the undried ocean call out to the heart's waves, oh, look for footsteps fly, ah, albatross, a lone shadow falls on the sand, ah, reeves shad glint in the silver waves traverse a rainbow's sway, a prelude of ten thousand years no need to whisper or hide, ah, where is Penglai, how many times have the green mountains turned to fields, a vast expanse, enduring as the heavens and earth, the sea melds into the mist, the earth's greenness deep with feeling, the prelude of ten thousand years, love dances in eternity, the prelude of ten thousand years, no need to be lowered in hiding, ah

"This song is too sad, stop singing, Qiao Zhi, let's catch some fish to eat," Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't stand such a mournful tune, so he immediately called a stop. Qiao Zhi ceased her humming.

Wang Xiaoqiang stopped the Spirit Spring Submarine, then started catching fish.

Most marine fish breathe with gills, move with fins, have scaled bodies, generally possess swim bladders, and are ectothermic marine vertebrates. There are over 20,000 existing fish species, of which about 12,000 are marine fish, representing the most prosperous group among fish.

A brief history of research generally assumes that marine fish studies began in the 4th century BCE with the Greek scholar Aristotle. In his "Animal Records," he documented 115 species of fish in the Aegean Sea and provided a systematic description of the structure, reproduction, and migration of fish. Modern marine fish research started with the publication of "Natural History of Fish" by French scholars G.B. Cuvier and A. Valenciennes, followed by extensive studies by various countries on the migration, reproduction, growth, and resource distribution and development of marine fish, among which the achievements of survey ships such as the "Challenger," the "Albatross," and the "Dana" were especially notable. Since the 1950s, a large amount of research on the ontogeny, tissue, physiology, and ecology of marine fish has been conducted, with the widespread use of new technologies like the electron microscope.

China is one of the earliest countries in the world to develop and utilize marine fish. It has been confirmed that China, as far back as the Neolithic Era, was capable of catching Girella, hairtail, black sea bream, blue-spotted mackerel, and other varieties of marine fish. "The Bamboo Annals" record that during the Xia Dynasty, there was already "big fish hunting in the East Sea." After the Qin and Han dynasties, some protective measures for fish resources were implemented, such as "fish shorter than one chi should not be taken." In the Ming Dynasty, Tu Benjun's "Marine Fishes of Fujian" provided detailed descriptions of the habits and fishing seasons of 129 species of fish along the coast of Fujian.

In the Qing Dynasty, Hao Yixing's "Records of Marine Fish" and Guo Baicang's "A Hundred and One Tales of Marine Fish" included knowledge about the growth, reproduction, and ecology of marine fish. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, a large-scale general survey of China's marine fish was conducted, and works such as "Survey Report on Fish of the Yellow and Bohai Seas," "Fish Records of the East Sea," "Fish Records of the South Sea," and "Records of Chinese Cartilaginous Fish" were published. Research on the physiology, ecology, and genetics of fish was also initiated.

Wang Xiaoqiang caught a few hairtail fish using Metal Element Spiritual Energy, and then he held them in his palm and roasted them with Fire Element Spiritual Energy, soon the fragrance of the fish wafted into the air.

Qiao Zhi sniffed with her delicate nose, "It smells so good." "It's ready, you can eat now," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he peeled the fish meat and fed it to Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi was blissfully happy, with the fantastical underwater world, her beloved man grilling fish for her, and feeding her personally.

"Ah, it tastes so good," Qiao Zhi praised while eating the fish.

Soon, the few hairtail fish were all eaten, and Wang Xiaoqiang caught a few larger Reeve's Shad, then he roasted them using the same method. Wang Xiaoqiang had tasted Reeve's Shad before, but it was completely new for Qiao Zhi. Struck by the delicious taste of the Reeve's Shad, Qiao Zhi couldn't help but exclaim while eating, "Little Qiang, I really don't want to go back up. Let's live here at the bottom of the sea. It's so nice here, away from the noise of the world, like an idyllic paradise..."

Qiao Zhi had the classic beauty of a Chinese woman and the elegance of a Japanese woman. After recovering from illness, her figure became more voluptuous, and at this moment, she was practically perfect.

And at this moment, Qiao Zhi in the deep blue sea water, was like a mermaid, exuding a touch of temptation, making Wang Xiaoqiang want to capture her.
