Ariel wasn't incapable of walking; she was simply unaccustomed to being enslaved for so long.
Gu Xi let it practice on its own, and before long, it mastered all the essentials of walking on the ground with its legs.
Gu Xi and Ai Si came downstairs and walked towards the ice rink, only to find that Ariel was no longer afraid of the chubby little balls, and had even been introduced to ice skating by them.
Although Ariel had only just started learning, she was already showing signs of great skill in mimicking the little chubby ball's movements.
Gu Xi saw its long pink hair flying wildly in the cold air of the skating rink, and its bright white scales shimmering in the sunlight.
It glides swiftly across the ice, its graceful movements reflecting brilliant arcs of light as it spins.
Gu Xi was stunned; her jaw almost dropped.
This is genius!
This is natural advertising!
Exceptionally talented employees who can start working immediately without any training!
As expected of a mermaid!
Seeing how beautifully it jumped, the chubby little balls nearby stopped and gathered around the skating rink, cheering and clapping excitedly for it.
Flamescale stood not far from Gu Xi, watching Ariel on the ice rink, its mouth pursed in a deep pout. Even its fiery scales seemed to have dimmed somewhat.
It couldn't help but mutter to itself, "Hmph, what's so great about it? It's just that its scales are a little shinier."
A little jealousy is no big deal, but those words were heard by all the fish and Gu Xi on the field.
Ais looked it up and down between it and Ariel, and finally said in a serious tone, "Purr~ Flame Scale, your scales are quite special."
Gu Xi saw its fiery scales and followed up on Ai Si's words.
"It is quite special."
Flame Scale curled its lip and said, "Pfft! But its scales look brighter than mine in the sunlight."
Seeing the slightly envious look in its eyes, Gu Xi asked, "You don't actually like sparkly things, do you?"
"Pfft! I'm a firefish, isn't it only natural for me to be bright!"
Gu Xi understood. No wonder Yan Lin always disliked Ariel; this was the reason.
What can she do about aesthetics?
"Flame Scale, if you like, you can work more and save money so I can buy you shiny things."
Gu Xi recalled the sparkly things she had seen and said, "There are a lot of sea ghosts there, I guarantee you'll like them."
As she spoke, she looked at Ais, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Ais nodded in agreement. "Puru~ That's right."
Just then, Ariel stopped and walked towards Gu Xi.
“This place is so nice,” Ariel said shyly.
Gu Xi had noticed before that Ariel's personality was different from Ais and Yanlin's; she was more introverted. So he softened his tone and said, "They've already told you about the ship, right?"
Ariel nodded: "They said I'm here and need to work?"
That was probably said by Flamescale, and it wasn't wrong. Mermaids may be beautiful, but they still have to work.
In particular, the planting space she bought earlier should come in handy. She originally planned to let Flamescale manage it, but now she has a more suitable fish to choose from.
Flamescale is a fish that can set fires. Although it is intelligent enough to watch over plants, there is a risk that it might accidentally burn the plants down.
In addition, its personality doesn't seem like it can stay in one space, so I chose it as a last resort because there were really no other fish to choose from.
But Ariel is different. She is introverted, can stay in a space, and has fewer people coming and going, so this job is more suitable for her.
Thinking about the skill issue, she didn't need to wait until she entered the taming stage, so Gu Xi asked Ariel.
"Ariel, what are your skills?"
Ariel thought for a moment and replied, "Sunbathing, especially on rocks."
Gu Xi was speechless, thinking to herself, "How is this any different from Ai Si's blank stare?"
