As long as she became Henry Shaw's woman, he would definitely help her, and even her family. As for whether or not to get a certificate, according to what that woman said, it really didn't matter much.

While swimming, she was also calculating this matter in her mind, and Diana Brooks's face was already flushed red.

Thinking again about her experiences after arriving in the provincial capital, Diana Brooks had made up her mind—even if Henry Shaw didn't marry her as his wife, she would still become his woman.

Over the past two days, Diana Brooks had also gotten a sense of Henry Shaw's character. She could tell that Henry Shaw was a very responsible man. If she really got involved with him, she believed he would never ignore her.

This was an opportunity she absolutely could not give up!

Thinking of this, Diana Brooks secretly glanced again in the direction beyond the trees, and let out a startled cry.

Diana Brooks's voice wasn't very loud, but it was enough for Henry Shaw nearby to hear.

However, when Diana Brooks cried out, she waited several seconds but didn't hear any sound from the other side.

Strange!

Diana Brooks raised her voice a bit and cried out again.

Originally, Diana Brooks had already prepared that as soon as Henry Shaw came over, she would pretend to have a cramp or something, so that after Henry Shaw held her, she could increase her efforts to seduce him, hoping to develop things further between them.

But today, things were completely different. After crying out twice, she still didn't hear Henry Shaw's voice, which made Diana Brooks a bit anxious.

Could it be that something happened to Henry Shaw over there?

At this thought, Diana Brooks cried out again.

This time, there was still no response from Henry Shaw, but instead, a nearby couple heard her, and a woman asked, "Shuixian, what's wrong?"

Hearing that it was Emily Thompson from the village, Diana Brooks gave a wry smile and had to say, "I got a cramp in my leg."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine now, I'm coming ashore!"

After hearing she was fine, the man and woman continued to enjoy themselves and didn't pay any more attention to Diana Brooks.

Why hadn't she heard Henry Shaw's voice?

Diana Brooks didn't dare to mess around anymore and called out loudly, "Brother Shaw, are you there?"

But even after calling twice, Diana Brooks still didn't hear Henry Shaw's voice.

Now Diana Brooks couldn't care about anything else. She swam over from under the tree and started looking around.

But when Diana Brooks reached the spot where Henry Shaw had been swimming, she still didn't see any sign of him.

Looking toward the shore, Diana Brooks saw that Henry Shaw's clothes were still lying there.

Could something have happened?

At this point, Diana Brooks was truly anxious.

"Brother Shaw, where are you?"

"Brother Shaw..."

Diana Brooks started shouting.

Actually, this upper part of the river wasn't very deep; when standing in it, the water only reached one's neck.

Just as Diana Brooks was about to call for help, Henry Shaw suddenly surfaced from underwater.

"You..."

At this moment, Henry Shaw's face was full of joy, and he was holding two stones in his hands.

"Brother Shaw, are you okay?" Suddenly seeing Henry Shaw emerge, Diana Brooks was already excited.

Henry Shaw was stunned on the spot, holding a stone in each hand.

Diana Brooks also blushed.

Both of them, flustered, tried to hide in the water, but unexpectedly both slipped and fell into the water.

Diana Brooks was a good swimmer. After tumbling a few times, she was the first to steady herself. With a startled cry, Diana Brooks swam back toward her original section of the river as if escaping.

Yikes!

At this moment, Henry Shaw's attention was completely on the stones in his hands.

These were energy stones!

In cultivation families, after reaching the stage of drawing in spiritual energy, what they needed were spirit stones. However, spirit stones weren't so easy to obtain, so cultivation families would look for other items that could be used for cultivation. Some stones containing energy that people could absorb came into the view of these families. After some experiments and research, they discovered that there were indeed some stones on Earth that contained energy. Although not as potent as spirit stones, they had about half the energy, so these stones became items for lower-level disciples to use in their cultivation.

Even so, Henry Shaw could only get one or two of these things from his parents in the family.

Just now, while in the river, he had stepped on an energy stone. Now, looking at it, he could see energy flowing through the stone, and Henry Shaw was overjoyed.

It was precisely because he had discovered this energy stone that Henry Shaw had dived to the bottom to search for stones.

When Diana Brooks was calling nearby, Henry Shaw happened to be underwater.

What surprised Henry Shaw even more was that he had actually found two energy stones.

How could there be such things here?

Henry Shaw realized that this Xiagou Village had become his lucky place. After coming here, he first found a way to make money, and now he had discovered energy stones. Heaven was truly looking after him!

By the light of the moon, looking at the two stones in his hand, Henry Shaw broke into a smile.

Energy stones that were hard to come by even in the Shang family could actually be found in this poor little mountain village!
