Chapter 241: A Girl Of The Sea (2/2)

”You're not a humble fisher at all though…” I said.

”That's harsh…” she said.

Well, for starters, Xijun's grandpa was abnormally strong. She said he caught real fish, which were tens of times the size of what she currently fishes for, actually there evidence everywhere over the shores, massive skeletons that spawn almost a kilometer everywhere… and Xijun says that's the skeletons left by the tasty food she ate with her Grandpa.

She said her grandpa had once fished a massive fish that made the entire world tremble, brought disaster upon the land, and called the lightning, but her grandpa beat it with his amazing fishing technique, and ate it with her.

If this is true, her grandpa might had the power to fish incredibly strong beings somehow… And to boot, she probably was taught all the powers and techniques she knows about. She can utilize water very amazingly, she can even set up traps, manipulate the ocean to create currents to bring the big fish towards her (usually the one she catches with her fish rod), and even I saw her make the entire place humid one day through the production of mist… she can even do this to bathe without salty water.

I've seen her use her magic to take away all the blood of a corpse too, and that knife she was given by her grandpa could easily cut through these beasts with ease as well, butchering them without problems.

She probably has been eating these giant and powerful monsters since she was born, due to that, her power is probably immense, she might had inherited the power of various sea monsters of terrifying power, and their innate abilities are just waiting to be awakened within.

”I believe your grandpa was a big shot based in all the evidence… he probably taught you all of that for a reason, he wanted you to be his inheritor, his entire inheritance were his techniques and the way he loved you. I guess this is all an assumption, but he was very strong to die by natural causes…” I said.

”Eh? You mean…?” she asked.

”There might had been a third party involved, it just doesn't make sense that someone so strong would die so easily…” I said.

”You're right… But I remember that grandpa went to sleep and didn't woke up…” she sighed.

”Ah…”

Maybe I screwed up, I shouldn't had been so rash with my wording. I should apologize.

”I… sorry, I didn't wanted you to remember those memories.” I said.

”Don't worry about it, its all in the past. I buried grandpa and now he's part of the shore that he always loved.” She said.

”I see… I am glad he passed away peacefully with such a good granddaughter.” I said.

”Hm… Grandpa was strong and nice… I miss him… But I am also stronger than before now… I will live up to my own dreams too, and… I want to explore the world… Gustav, can you accompany me?” she asked.

”Haha, sure thing, why not? I had already decided to go with you anyways.” I said.

”Thank you…”

Xijun was really a peculiar girl.
