Free Web NovelChapter 119: Chapter 119: A Gift That Cannot Be Stored in the Backpack
In the end, Bella Dillon traded an All-World Communication Phone for the information that Talent Stones could be fished from the lake on Isle 1004 with a special fishing rod. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
As for where Bella Dillon would find a special fishing rod or how she’d manage to land on Isle 1004, that wasn’t Faye Yardley’s concern. freeweɓnøvel.com
Now that she had the information, Bella Dillon couldn’t wait to leave Isle 98.
Faye Yardley held the All-World Communication Phone as it automatically integrated with her system. A new All-World Communication friends list appeared.
The good thing was that the list had no friend limit, though for now, the only person on it was Bella Dillon, the Merfolk.
But there was a downside: the phone was truly just a phone. Unlike the system’s built-in communicator, it couldn’t be used to send Red Envelopes, which was a significant drop in functionality.
Ethan Yardley looked at his smiling sister standing on the dock and asked, "Faye, who exactly is that Bella Dillon?"
"Oh, she’s of the Merfolk, not a Commonfolk like us." Faye turned her head, feigning disbelief. "Brother, don’t tell me you’ve developed a crush on Bella Dillon?!"
"What are you talking about! I was just happy for you, thinking you’d made a close friend in the area, a strong one too."
"Heh. Men never say what they really mean."
"Faye, are you looking for trouble?"
"Brother, is that any way to treat your dear little sister? Careful, or I might just have to beat you up."
Ethan Yardley: ...
"Oh! Sister-in-law, there you are. We’ve been looking all over for you."
Ethan Yardley’s face instantly darkened, his gaze on Faye Yardley practically shooting fire. "When did you get married?! How could I, your own brother, not know?!"
Faye Yardley giggled. "You believe him just because he called me that? If I were getting married, I’d obviously tell you beforehand."
Then, she waved to the large man. "Did you need me for something, Big Guy? Oh, and by the way, please stop calling me Sister-in-law. It causes misunderstandings. You can call me Yardley."
"Huh?!" Big Guy glanced at Ethan Yardley’s sour expression, then let out a hearty laugh and quickly changed his tune. "Alright, Miss Yardley. We know you can’t stay long, and the boss was too busy to see you off, so we thought we’d come send you on your way."
"Thank you, that’s very thoughtful of you."
Big Guy took out an elegantly wrapped box and handed it to her. "Sis—haha, Miss Yardley. The guys and I put our heads together on this one. We think it’s perfect for you."
Faye Yardley let out a small "ah," a little embarrassed. ’Isn’t it a bit too greedy to accept several rewards for saving Nora Nash just once?’
Her body was more honest than her mind; her hand took the gift before her brain could object. "Thanks! Then I’ll gladly accept."
"We’re just happy you took it. Anyway, we won’t disturb you any further, Miss Yardley. We’ll head back now." After speaking, Big Guy prepared to leave with the two men by his side.
Although his two companions were completely silent, Faye could still feel their goodwill.
"Wait."
Faye Yardley thought for a moment, then took out the two Mysterious Fish and one Talent Stone that she had packed in her backpack. "The contents of the slightly larger box are for you to cook and share. The smaller box is for Nora Nash."
"Okay, thank you for the gift, Miss Yardley. I’ll be sure to deliver it to the boss personally."
Once Big Guy and his two companions were a good distance away, Ethan Yardley frowned. "The person you saved in Serenia last time was Island Master Nash? No wonder everyone at the mountaintop bar treated you like a VIP. It was definitely out of respect for Island Master Nash."
"You’re so smart, big brother," Faye Yardley said as she tried to put the box into her backpack, only to receive a system notification that it couldn’t be stored.
Just as she was about to open it and see what was inside, Ethan Yardley stopped her. "You should probably head back to the raft now. Call me if you need anything."
He said, gesturing with his eyes toward the strangers nearby who kept glancing in their direction.
Faye Yardley understood. "Okay, brother, I’ll head back then. You should enjoy the town. Buying some different kinds of food to bring back would be a nice change of pace for the team."
"Alright, you don’t need to worry about that. Hurry back."
Seeing a few people start to move toward them, Ethan Yardley urged her to hurry.
"System, return."
Faye Yardley waved to her brother and vanished, reappearing instantly on her raft.
"Sister, you’re back! Oh, your dress is beautiful!" Willow Yardley exclaimed, rushing over the moment she appeared.
Faye Yardley grunted in response and immediately tore open the gift box. Lying quietly inside was a blue egg covered in intricate patterns.
"What is this? Willow, do you know?"
Willow Yardley examined it carefully, then looked just as confused. "I have no idea. Should we call Eamon over and ask him?"
It wasn’t long before Eamon came over. His mouth watered a little at the sight of the egg, but he didn’t know what it was, either.
Faye Yardley shot Eamon a glare and warned, "Don’t even think about this egg. If you dare to secretly eat it, I’ll roast you."
Eamon jumped, startled, and quickly promised he wouldn’t dare.
It was getting late, so Faye Yardley glanced at Willow Yardley and went straight upstairs to her room.
Willow Yardley stared at Eamon. "You know what it is."
"Don’t be ridiculous, Second Sister. I really don’t know."
"Would you be drooling if you didn’t know?"
"I... I was just craving eggs, that’s all." Eamon yawned. "Oh man, it’s already past nine. If that’s everything, I’m going to bed."
"Eamon, you’re on my sister’s territory right now. So what if you have a peaceful employment agreement? All she has to do is break the contract and throw you off the raft. How would you get back from here? Swim with those stubby little legs of yours?"
The color drained from Eamon’s face. He pointed a trembling finger at Willow Yardley. "Your sister wouldn’t be so heartless!"
"Want to find out?"
Eamon’s expression shifted several times. Finally, he lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I’m not sure, but it might be a Bluebird egg. Anyway, the Life Force inside it is so strong, I couldn’t help but drool."
He turned and headed for the door. "Believe me or don’t. It’s up to you."
Once Eamon had left the Wooden House, Faye Yardley appeared from around the corner of the stairs and gave Willow Yardley a thumbs-up.
Back in her own room, she placed the egg directly on her bedside table.
"I hear you might be a bird. How much longer until you hatch?"
The egg, naturally, did not answer, so Faye Yardley left it alone.
After washing up and changing into more comfortable loungewear, she lay on her bed, finally in the mood to check her Attributes.
