Chapter 306: Chapter 304 Will You Hatch the Egg with Me?_1 Chapter 306: Chapter 304 Will You Hatch the Egg with Me?_1 After the massive fireball had been approaching for close to an hour, seeing that the situation was about right, Colin retracted his control of the flame.

Although with the effect of that special grease, he could continue to burn for another two or three hours, it wasn’t necessary because all the Fishmen present had already transformed into believers.

“If there’s a chance, I should see if I can collect some of this Good Brother’s grease. Not to discuss his fate, but the grease on his body does burn well.”

If he could collect more to use in battle, Colin felt that his control over flames would likely see a significant improvement.

Having left the center of the Bonfire, the mermaid on patrol on the ground immediately noticed him and awkwardly got up, “Hmph,” she insisted, saying:

“Hmph! Don’t think this means you’re not at all suspicious!”

‘If it weren’t for my status showing that all the ‘Sea Sirens’ present had become ‘believers,’ I might actually believe that you are truly as hostile toward me as you claim to be.’

Colin glanced at her, didn’t say much, knowing she was probably just being stubborn while soft-hearted, trying to say something for the sake of appearances—

It had a bit of a tsundere feel to it.

However, tsundere was kind of out of fashion these days…

By the time he left, these Fishmen would probably search the entire Deep Sea and still not find flames as comfortable as these.

And at that very moment, as Colin left the Bonfire, the gigantic fireball with a diameter of several meters slowly faded away.

One by one, the mermaids, who had been comfortably roasting, opened their eyes, groggily propped up their upper bodies, searched around, and looked towards Colin as if to say: burn, why did you stop burning?

Even though the Bonfire was still there, after experiencing Colin’s hot and large flames, they were no longer satisfied with this “little flame.”

“Cough cough…”

Colin coughed twice, showing a hint of weakness on his face: “I’m not feeling very well, let me rest a bit before we talk.”

After saying that, he saw the look in many a stunning Fishwoman’s eyes, those big watery eyes expressing a flicker of disappointment, longing, and dissatisfaction.

Some of them blinked, making a gesture like they were about to pounce.

“They aren’t really planning to hang me up there to burn, are they?”

Colin’s heart skipped a beat.

But at this moment, Tina suddenly rushed out, hugging him like a rag doll, and faced the crowd of Fishwomen, big and small, huffing:

“‘Sir Bonfire’ needs to rest now!”

Having said that, without waiting for the other mermaids to respond, she hugged Colin and plunged into the water with him, like a child worried her toy would be snatched away.

After they left, the mermaids directed their gaze towards Dog Brother and the others, their eyes flickering with an almost tangible sense of anticipation.

For the first time, Dog Brother and his companions understood what it meant for “eyes to speak.”

Unfortunately, they couldn’t satisfy these Fishwomen.

“Er, we don’t know how to play with fire…” The group explained awkwardly, then a few Fishwomen approached, one Fishwoman for each, and carried them away from there.

However, upon returning to the great hall, they didn’t find Colin’s figure.

“Where did the boss go?” Dog Brother asked curiously.

…

In another room, on Honeycomb Island, adorned with various sparkling gems, the much larger Tina laid him on a soft sponge bed.

Apparently specially treated, the sponge bed was relatively dry.

“Sir Bonfire, this is my room, my room is pretty big, if you’re tired, you can rest here. Would you like something to eat?” Tina blinked her eyes.

Why does that line sound so familiar… Colin sat on the sponge bed, looked up at Tina who was much taller than him, thanked her, and declined the offer of food.

“By the way, when will other ‘Sea Sirens’ come to this island?”

Colin decided to create a breakthrough from Tina.

He could tell that Tina probably considered him a good friend, which was perfect for initiating the breakthrough.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Tina, as if something secret had been discovered, her face turned a bit red, “No, it shouldn’t be so soon that others will come by, it’ll be several days.”

Several days? But no big deal, given the current situation, by the time people come by to warm themselves by the fire, he should be able to take them down immediately…

Colin’s mind raced quickly, and after the reactions of the fishmen in the “Hall of Holy Fire,” he was fairly confident in his flames.

Meanwhile, Tina, staring at Colin with gold in her eyes and a touch of bashful shyness, suddenly asked, “Sir Bonfire, can I, can I ask you a question?”

“What question? Go ahead.”

Huh? Colin had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit off.

It’s just a question, why turn so red?

“Can you, can you help me hatch a baby?” Tina asked awkwardly.

“???”

Colin’s eyes widened, he sucked in a breath of cold air, his usually nimble mind momentarily stalled as he stared at her. He sensed something amiss, considered many possibilities, but this was the one possibility he hadn’t thought of—

Goodness, I thought you saw me as a good friend, and here you want me to father your children?

And besides, setting aside the issues of size differences, shouldn’t we think about reproductive isolation?

‘I am a ruthless preaching machine, not a seeding machine.’

Colin’s mind whipped up a storm of thoughts, trying to figure out how to explain himself to avoid the “love turns to hatred” scenario often found in legends, when he saw Tina turn around and lift a basketball-sized spherical object towards him.

“This is, Sister Lana’s baby, but she died before she had time to hatch it, and I’ve taken over. I, I don’t have much experience, can you help me with it? I feel that if I do it with you, with that flame, the baby might turn out to be very strong…”

After all, hatching an egg is a rather complex and private matter, and she felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Oh, you mean you want me to help with incubating the egg? I thought…”

Colin let out a sigh of relief, his mood suddenly easing, but thinking about what he had been assuming made him feel extremely awkward.

“You thought what?”

Tina blinked, looking a bit puzzled, but the next second, it seemed like she realized something and began to speak timidly, “After we’re done with this one, it’s not that…”

As she was speaking, a splash of water suddenly interrupted her.

Both turned their heads to look, and saw a mermaid suddenly leaping out nearby, warning with a voice weak from exhaustion:

“Princess Tina, escape quickly, humans have attacked the Holy City, they’re coming this way…”

A strong scent of blood wafted over, and Colin noted the numerous wounds on the mermaid’s body.

“The Holy City has been attacked?”

Tina was taken aback, then asked with worry and tension, “Mother… Is Her Majesty the Queen okay?!”
