Chapter 912 The Price of Better Skin

There was still one important question: would the same treatment work on Emma’s skin?

In theory, if the active substance could be separated, refined, and blended into a clean, odorless form, it might become usable.

At least, that was the scientific way to think about it.

Unfortunately, the moment Alaric remembered where that “active substance” came from, ftis composure nearly cracked.

“Emma, actually, I…” Alaric paused for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and pushing himself to speak again, “Honestly, your skin is already flawless. You don’t really need to use something like that.”

Emma gazed at him without a hint of shame. “Who wouldn’t want better skin? Yesterday, seeing how great Malrik’s skin looked, didn’t you wonder what he used?”

Alaric’s expression stiffened.

‘I was curious,” he admitted with difficulty. “I just didn’t know it was bird droppings.”

Norse, it came from some bizarre bird whose backside worked like a high–pressure spray nozzle.

‘Bird droppings?” Marcus and Calum happened to walk in just in time to hear those two words.

Calum’s gaze moved from Alaric to the oatmeal cooking on the stove. “You’re adding bird droppings to breakfast? Then you can e t yourself. I’m not touching that.”

Marcus leaned against the doorway and shot Calum a blank side–eye. “You’re not special. None of us is touching that. Nobody wants it, thanks.”

Calum stared at him as if he had discovered a miracle. “You actually know how to say thanks?”

Marcus and Emma both fell silent.

They were clearly talking about bird droppings, but somehow Marcus and Gatum nearly shifted the conversation, entice

“Both of you, stop talking “Emma reached out and covered Calum’s mouth before he could say another word stat the thing that improved Matrik’s skin”

‘ll go too,” Calum volunteered immediately.

Marcus thought about it for a moment before joining in, “If the two of them aren’t enough, I can go as well.”

Jim stepped forward, too. “I can go.”

He did not care much about his own skin, but if Emma needed something, he was willing to retrieve it.

Alaric’s smile appeared almost too quickly.

Before Emma could speak, he sealed the matter for everyone. “Then it’s decided. The key to Emma’s interest, and what improved Malrik’s skin, is the bird droppings I just talked about.”

He took the coordinate map Emma had given him and tossed it to Calum. “Since all of you are wilting, hurry up and collect it.”

Alaric paused, then immediately corrected himself with a shudder. “No, don’t bring it back to the castle. I’ll arrange a lab. Take it there instead.”

“Bird droppings?” Calum looked down at the coordinate map in his hand, then slowly lifted his gaze toward Emma and Malrik.

Matrik nodded with complete seriousness. “That day, I went to pick fruit for Emma. The giant green birds in the area sprayed me with droppings, and afterward, my skin improved.”

His expression stayed genuine as he kept describing the process, “When you arrive, don’t overthink it. Just stand still. Those birds will start spraying as if someone activated a switch. They attack randomly, so your job is simply to collect as much as possible.”

Marcus stared at him for a long white before asking, “Wait. Are you sure it was the droppings? Couldn’t it have been some fruit you accidentally ate while picking them?”

This was his last attempt to escape fate.

Bird droppings all over the body? The more Marcus imagined it, the more he felt that rough skin had its own charm. His current face was perfectly acceptable. He did not need to pursue beauty through something this horrifying.

Mairik blinked innocently and crushed Marcus‘ final hope. “I didn’t eat any fruit. I can swear on that. I didn’t eat a single thing that Gay”

Then he added with cruel clarity, “it was only pure, fresh, steaming bird droppings
