Chapter 5078
What...
At the sight, Ambrose and Neil's jaws dropped in shock as they gazed at Heather in
wonder.
What was that colorful powder, and how could it summon a whole school of fish?
How phenomenal.
On top of that, Darryl could also clearly see that the fish that had swarmed forward were
no ordinary creatures. They were completely red in color, making them look rather
strange. There were curious-looking scales on their body, making them look like a bundle
of flames from afar. 3 "Haha..."
Heather could not help but giggle at their astonishment. She then grabbed one of the fish
skillfully and plucked off two of its scales as she explained," These fish are extremely rare.
They live deep in the ocean. They're called Flamefish. Their scales are soft but sturdy and
very good for mending broken boats.
"That powder I just sprinkled into the ocean was seaflower pollen."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust like the Flamefish, seaflowers only grow deep in the ocean. They give off a peculiar
scent, powerful enough to attract the Flamefish. They'll do whatever it takes to get a whiff
of it."
As she spoke, Heather did not stop grabbing more Flamefish from the water.
She was not only kind but skilled at what she did. In order to not harm any of the fish, she
only plucked two scales off every fish before letting it back into the ocean.
With the number of Flamefish that had gathered, two scales every fish was plenty to mend
all the boats.
Ambrose and Neil exchanged a glance upon hearing Heather's explanation, realization
dawning upon them.
They would have never known there was so much to learn from living by the sea.
All at once, Neil could not help but remark with a smile, "Beauty and brains, Sister-In-Law!
Thank heavens we've got you with us today, or Ambrose and I really would have been
stuck here."
Heather preened at the praise but still ducked her head bashfully. "Stopstop calling me
that. Ambrose and I., haven't gotten married yet."
Towards the end, she could hardly look up.
Haha...
At the look on her face, Neil could not help but burst out laughing. "Getting shy there,
Sister-In-Law? Come on, your marriage to Ambrose is only a matter of time. Unless... you
don't like my brother here?" "Stop... stop it, you!" Heather grew even redder, stamping her
feet.
Ambrose smiled as well, turning to chide Neil lightly, "Hey, enough with the teasing."
As he spoke, Ambrose strode over quickly to gaze at Heather fondly. "Is there anything I
can help with?" A task like fixing boats was usually that of a man's duty, and it was quite
embarrassing for him and Neil to just stand and watch without doing anything.
"That's alright..."
Yet Heather shook her head, smiling. "I've pretty much got everything.
There's no need to help. Just watch the baby." Despite being the princess of the Sea
Mackie Clan, Heather was not arrogant in the slightest. Back then, she had always been
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe first to fix a broken boat if she ever came upon one.
At the words, Ambrose nodded as he retreated to the side and gazed at Heather both in
fondness and curiosity.
This was the first time he had seen anyone fix a boat like this. He would have to take a
good look.
Just then, Heather had collected enough of the scales. She got up and leaped into the
ocean in one swift move.
Neil was startled by the sight and could not help but cry out, "Hey, Heather... " As he
spoke, he was about to jump in as well. Yet Ambrose stopped him.
"She's the princess of the Sea Mackie Clan, she's one with the ocean. There won't be any
danger," Ambrose chuckled.
Neil tapped his own forehead, chuckling as he said, "Right. That was pretty dumb of me to
worry!" 1
Whoosh!
Just then, Heather resurfaced from the water, holding a few slender seaweeds in her
grasp. She heaved herself back onto the shore gracefully. The weeds she was holding
seemed sturdy and were a good few meters long.
