“Even if the color is similar, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ambergris,” Feng Xuan said with a wry smile. “It might just be some kind of driftwood.”
"Who cares? We'll just wait for it to float over, then we'll fish it out and see," Feng Ye said with a smile. "Anyway, whether it's true or not, it won't be a loss for us."

As the sun gradually set, the sea was bathed in golden light.
They finally finished their work and packed up their last basket of longline fishing.
