Reborn As Super Heiress

The little guy animatedly gestured to Gu Xu with the use of its eggshell, as it didn’t have limbs yet—only the entire egg body to illustrate its meanings.

Seeing that Gu Xu still didn’t understand, the little guy grew a bit impatient. It directly dashed behind Gu Xu and used its body to nudge him forward.

Under the little guy’s urging, Gu Xu had no choice but to move forward. He didn’t walk far before he reached the reef area where he had previously caught fish.

Feeling puzzled by his son’s actions, he noticed a white figure floating on the water near the reef shoreline. He hesitated, then upon closer inspection, saw a two to three meters long adult dolphin circling near the coast.

As Gu Xu approached, the dolphin came closer and sprayed him with seawater with a puff.

Gu Xu: ...

The dolphin seemed pleased to see Gu Xu, its shape undulating in the water. Before long, it turned around, raised its tail in a pose inviting someone to mount.

Gu Xu hadn’t comprehended the situation yet, while the treasure egg had already hopped onto the dolphin’s back, instinctively sitting on it, chirping toward Gu Xu indicating he should follow.

Gu Xu furrowed his brows, but remembering how his precious egg was always clever and unlikely to do anything dangerous, he hesitated only briefly before climbing onto the dolphin’s back himself.

Unexpectedly, once seated firmly on the dolphin’s back, the adult dolphin took a leap into the sea, swimming rapidly towards the distance.

Though Gu Xu had been on cruises and ridden horse carriages, experiencing thrilling activities, he had never used a dolphin as transport, causing him to react with an instinctive fright initially, clutching the dolphin’s side fins tightly.

After ten minutes of swimming in the sea, he realized that the dolphin, although fast, was actually very stable. Sitting on the dolphin’s back, there was no risk of falling off, gradually emboldening him to loosen his grip on the fins bit by bit.

Despite the dolphin’s seemingly small size, its swimming speed proved to be rapid. Even though the sea surface appeared endless with no reference points for comparison, based on Gu Xu’s estimation, this dolphin’s speed reached up to thirty nautical miles.

Dolphins rank among the world’s fastest swimmers; defeating some ships, aircraft carriers, and torpedoes. Generally, a dolphin can maintain a speed of 20 nautical miles per hour for extended durations, but evidently, this dolphin surpassed typical adult ones in stature and endurance, making its speed exceptional.

Speed alone was impressive enough, yet this dolphin was mindful of Gu Xu riding on its back without causing him to fall, which was quite a skilled feat.

Initially, Gu Xu did not understand the dolphin’s purpose, but after sitting on its back for more than an hour, he started realizing something was amiss.

Having on his wrist a waterproof watch bought by his wife, Gu Xu cherished wearing it without taking it off. The watch had an unobtrusive tiny compass that proved invaluable at crucial moments.

Currently on the dolphin’s back, Gu Xu could easily determine the dolphin was guiding him towards the South Sea, aiming directly for Hua Country’s Nansha Province.

Gu Xu grew more astonished observing this situation, estimating that if the dolphin maintained its speed, within four hours, he would leave the high seas and reach Hua Country’s waters, ensuring complete safety.

While the dolphin ferried him away from the deserted island, Gu Xu narrowly missed encountering patrol boats from Country F several times due to the treasure egg’s cover; hence the patrol boats did not notice Gu Xu, allowing the dolphin to lead them beyond that maritime region.

Two hours later, Gu Xu looked back, scanning the entire waters — only emptiness greeted him, having left the flotilla of Country F’s searching yachts far behind.

Although still on the high seas and not entirely safe, at least he could relax a bit having escaped Country F’s surveillance range.

Gu Xu assumed this dolphin to be an ally found by his treasure egg, feeling grateful on one hand, and curious on the other about how the little guy managed to command the dolphin so obediently.

What Gu Xu didn’t know was that while the dolphin had been found by the treasure egg, it did not follow its orders. Although possessing many talents, the treasure egg couldn’t possibly have commanded a dolphin so obediently.

In fact, the dolphin had been summoned.

Last night, as hunger gnawed at Gu Xu, the treasure egg employed the Spiritual Energy of the Azure Pearl to entice some sea fish to leap from the water, resolving Gu Xu’s hunger.

Nonetheless, the little guy was still young and somewhat lacking in skillful control of Spiritual Energy, leading to excessive spirit infusion that agitated a vast area of fish, along with nearby dolphin pods sensing the summoned Spiritual Energy.

It happened that within this dolphin pod was a dolphin once saved by Huo Sining, later named A Yin by Qibao.

After nearly three years of growth, the small dolphin had matured into an adult dolphin but retained familiarity with the Water Spirit Pearl’s Spiritual Energy.

Sensing the familiar Spiritual Energy, A Yin assumed Huo Sining was nearby, wholeheartedly believing Huo Sining was summoning it, so it immediately parted from the dolphin pod and followed the Spiritual Energy’s origin.

However, upon reaching the source of the Spiritual Energy, A Yin found that the one standing by the shore was not Huo Sining but an unfamiliar man.

This dolphin had undergone spirit transformation after multiple transformations by Huo Sining’s Spiritual Energy, making it far more intelligent than average dolphins.

An ordinary adult dolphin’s intelligence equates to a six or seven-year-old child, but this dolphin’s intelligence was equivalent to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old child, it understood Gu Xu’s predicament after glimpsing him and the treasure egg, discerning he was stranded on an island.

Dolphins inherently possess a nurturing nature, instinctively rescuing drowning sea victims, let alone this spiritually awakened dolphin. Upon seeing Gu Xu, A Yin couldn’t possibly ignore him, so it splashed sea waves against the shore to gain the treasure egg and Gu Xu’s attention.

Gu Xu was asleep, but the treasure egg noticed A Yin, the little guy inherently smart, quickly grasping the dolphin’s sudden appearance and purpose, knowing the dolphin could lead them back, which delighted him. He quickly woke Gu Xu.
