Chapter 97: Huaxia’s Succulent Master
Chapter 97: Huaxia’s Succulent Master
After returning to Taoyuan Village, the time was around three or four o’clock. Zhou Yu played with the animals in the Old Family House for a while, then took Huzi and Xiaobao to the Beach. He had taken Dabao yesterday, so today he wanted to take Xiaobao to play for a bit.
When Xiaobao heard he was going surfing with Huzi, he was so happy. He ran and jumped around the yard in circles. He ran to Gan Gan and Cui Cui, barking twice, then ran to the tree where the Golden Eagle was, barking twice more, as if showing off.
But Gan Gan and Cui Cui just looked confused, having no idea what this dog was doing. As for the Golden Eagle, it stayed coolly in its nest in the tree and didn’t even glance at Xiaobao.
Seeing that the other animals were ignoring him, Xiaobao couldn’t help but run to his brother Dabao, circling and showing off around him. Dabao immediately got mad and gave him a slap, barking twice as if to say, “I didn’t even show off yesterday, you show off again and I’ll beat you up.”
Xiaobao whimpered twice and came to Zhou Yu’s side looking very wronged, squatting down. He certainly didn’t dare go near Huzi.
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but laugh. He patted Xiaobao’s head. “You, you’ve turned the face of a Labrador Retriever into that of a Husky.”
After four o’clock, he rode his electric scooter, taking Huzi and Xiaobao to the Beach. Huzi stood on the footboard at the front of the scooter, facing the wind with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Xiaobao sat on the back seat, his front paws tightly gripping the safety handlebar, looking very nervous, afraid he might fall off.
Finally, when they arrived at the Guomin Food Stall, Xiaobao seemed liberated. He ran around happily, surprising the people nearby, who asked Zhou Yu why this Labrador Retriever had become so lively.
Seeing Xiaobao’s behavior, Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, telling them this was a different Labrador Retriever named Xiaobao.
The faces of the surrounding tourists lit up with joy. They hadn’t expected the owner of the Divine Dog to have three dogs. They were now very much looking forward to seeing all three dogs surf together.
By five o’clock, Zhou Yu and Wang Fugui each took a dog and went to the Beach to start surfing. The crowd on the Beach cheered. From the sound, it seemed there were more people than yesterday.
Today’s surfing session was very interesting and funny. Unlike Dabao’s steady and careful nature, Xiaobao was a mischievous guy to begin with, and he was even more so in the water.
It was somewhat better when Zhou Yu was guiding him. Later, when he surfed alone, he often moved around mischievously on the Surfboard and ended up plopping into the water. But he didn’t give up; he would climb back onto the Surfboard and keep playing.
Sometimes this guy even ignored the rules, directly steering his Surfboard toward Huzi. Huzi couldn’t tolerate this kind of challenge. He either slapped Xiaobao into the water with his paw or steered his own Surfboard to crash into him, making everyone laugh so hard they nearly cried.
Watching these funny scenes, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but chuckle. This Xiaobao had turned the fun surfing into a comedy show, but it seemed the effect was pretty good.
After surfing, Huzi and Xiaobao came back to the beach, and the crowd erupted in huge cheers.
After eating, Zhou Yu returned to the Old Family House, fed the animals left at home, and then went back to his room.
He turned on the computer, used a VPN to access foreign social media sites, and quickly scrolled through. Sure enough, he found the video clip of Huzi surfing. This was the video from when Huzi first started surfing. Its view count had already reached twenty million. It was very popular.
Many people had already formed a Huzi fan group on this social media site, posting and sharing Huzi’s surfing videos daily. Yesterday’s video of Huzi and Dabao surfing was also posted here, receiving many likes and welcomes.
He also saw that many people were very eager to see the commercial for the Surfboard Huzi was endorsing, wondering what kind of excellent short film would be shot.
Zhou Yu smiled. Judging by the popularity of Huzi’s surfing video, he believed this short film would definitely be welcomed by many people.
He also opened topics related to succulent plants. Chen Zilong had said earlier that someone had already posted about his Jade Dew on their social media account, attracting much attention.
Soon, he found a post with many comments, attached with several pictures. “This is a premium Jade Dew variety, Pan Deng Yulu Variegata, cultivated by a succulent master from Huaxia, ‘Flying Dragon in the Sky.’ It’s so beautiful it’s almost uncontrollable.”
Zhou Yu found this strange. A succulent master? Flying Dragon in the Sky? He’d been around the circle for so long but didn’t seem to have heard that name. When he saw the pictures, he burst out laughing. It was exactly the Pan Deng Yulu Variegata he had sent to Chen Zilong.
He really hadn’t expected this Chen Zilong to give himself another name, Flying Dragon in the Sky. Back home, that name was extremely common. This guy was really just being lazy.
Below the post, there were many amazed comments from foreign netizens, like ‘never seen such beautiful succulents before,’ and ‘this Jade Dew is as splendid as Huaxia’s culture.’ Of course, some expressed different opinions, saying this Huaxia Jade Dew was not as beautiful as the succulents from their own United States.
Besides this post, this account also shared a few other posts. It seemed that others who had purchased the Jade Dew had also posted. The pictures were exactly the same as the ones he sent to Chen Zilong.
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile. Back home he was Flower Not Flower. Now abroad, there was a Flying Dragon in the Sky too. He guessed it wouldn’t be long before this name spread within the foreign succulent community.
After browsing for a while, he turned off the computer, lay down on the bed, looked at the Radio, and felt full of anticipation.
Unfortunately, when he woke up in the early morning, the room was still dark, and the Radio hadn’t turned on.
Zhou Yu wasn’t disappointed at all. Almost a month had passed since he got the Radio. He was already used to waiting. But every day of waiting carried a sense of anticipation.
The mysterious Immortal World, those unknown sects, and unknown magical items could all make people yearn for more.
The next day, Zhou Yu still got up early, fed the animals, swam to the deep sea again, and took half a Bone Blood Pill. That dolphin seemed to know he would come every day. It appeared in the nearby waters and played with him.
This time, he also brought a Spirit Beast Pill and fed it to the dolphin. According to many studies, dolphins had developed brains and many folds in their brains. He wondered if taking the Spirit Beast Pill, which could increase intelligence, would make it even smarter.
As soon as the dolphin saw the Spirit Beast Pill, it whistled happily, opened its mouth, and ate it.
Shortly after returning home from the sea, Zhou Yu received a call from Old Tan. He said that young man from yesterday had brought his grandfather over, and they were there waiting to pay and apologize.
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile. With the delicious Honey collected by the Spirit Bees, that young man was sure to come back. He was quite confident of that.
Since they came to pay, he needed to go over. So he rode his electric scooter straight to Old Tan’s house.
When Zhou Yu arrived at Old Tan’s, he saw a car parked in front. But this time, it wasn’t the cool-looking BMW from yesterday; it was an Audi. They were rich people indeed.
Pushing his electric scooter, he walked into the yard and saw a few people sitting outside. An old man with grey hair was sitting on a chair chatting with Old Tan. A man in a suit, who seemed to be a driver and bodyguard, stood beside them.
As for that fashionably dressed young man with the cool hairstyle, he leaned against a wall, head drooping, looking very gloomy.
