Soon, Salina came back with an eel in her left hand and seven or eight crystal green water plants in her right hand, and threw them onto the shore neatly.
"Your food." She lay on the shore, her thick black hair reaching her knees, half falling on her smooth back and half in front of her.
The girl has fair skin, beautiful features, and a naive look in her eyes.
The mermaid has a strong recovery ability, and with the special magic potion given by the witch, the little princess's injuries have almost healed. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be completely healed within three days.
Yesterday's experience only made her a little more vigilant. After the crisis was resolved and her enemy was killed and revenged, she turned back into the innocent and lovely little princess.
Chu Qi: "Thank you."
Chu Qi didn't know many marine fish, but she happened to know eels. She picked up the eel that was stabbed to death by Salina, but she felt worried.
Any food eaten raw by humans carries the risk of accidents, so Chu Qi doesn't dare to take the risk of eating it raw.
She asked the red-tailed mermaid sheepishly, "Excuse me, do you have a fire?"
Salina blinked in confusion and said, "Fire?...Oh, now I remember, it's something you humans often use to cook food, right?"
As she spoke of the latter part, she became happy, her eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she was proud of her own cleverness.
"Oh, yes," Chu Qi nodded, "Is there?"
"We eat everything raw. No one eats cooked food. You humans are really weird. Isn't it good to eat it raw? Why do we have to cook it?"
The little princess asked back in confusion.
She has lived in this sea area since she was a child, and no human has ever set foot here.
If she hadn't been playful and yearning for the outside world, she would never have been caught by humans if she hadn't sneaked out without telling her mother.
Therefore, her living habits are the same as other mermaids. She is used to hunting when she is hungry, and when she catches the prey, she will tear open its body and eat it piece by piece.
Cooking or something like that...it sounds like it would ruin the taste of the food.
"We humans are prone to getting sick when we eat raw food, and there is no medicine here. If I get sick, I will die."
Chu Qi stared at the mermaid pleadingly, "Please."
"Okay, okay."
Salina nodded helplessly and dived into the sea again. She swam quickly to the bottom of the sea.
Underwater world.
There are tall and magnificent palace buildings here. According to our ancestors, it was once the home of mankind.
However, as the sea level rose, the palace completely sank to the bottom of the sea and now has become the mermaid's palace.
The mermaids are very hardworking and repair the palace regularly.
However, despite this, as time goes by, the palace has been almost completely eroded by the sea, and now only its outer appearance remains.
Beautiful corals grew on all sides of the palace, and all kinds of colorful fish swam among the corals.
The mermaids brought in huge shells and placed them in the palace, using them as a residence.
Salina's residential shell has a light blue shell and is decorated with strings of pearls and unknown beautiful flowers.
Inside there was a bed made of soft, dry seaweed, and a polished stone mirror placed on a smooth stone dressing table.
The dressing table was filled with Salina's combs, hairpins, necklaces and other items.
Salina passed by her shell house and unexpectedly saw a light brown-haired, blue-tailed mermaid secretly taking her newly made jewel necklace!
She was stunned and swam a long way before she reacted. She quickly braked and turned back, staring at the blue-tailed mermaid with puffed cheeks angrily: "Linda, you come to steal my necklace again!"
The blue-tailed mermaid looked at her innocently: "How can taking something openly be called stealing?"
“You…you…”
Salina felt that what Linda said was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She was almost as angry as a puffer fish, staring at Linda with her big eyes.
"Puff!" Linda reached out and poked the little princess' cheek. Satisfied, she put the jewel necklace back and said, "Okay, I won't take it. Don't be angry."
"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time." said Salina.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Linda asked.
"Oh, by the way, I need to go ask the witch for some fire." Salina slapped her head, "I almost forgot."
Linda asked curiously, "Oh? What do you want fire for?"
"The human I rescued said he needed fire."
Salina started swimming again. "Let's not talk about it for now, or it will be bad when the witch falls asleep."
"I'm with you, little princess, wait for me!"
Linda hurried to follow.
Salina quickly rushed to Wu's residence.
Wu is an old-looking white-tailed mermaid with long hair like dry weeds and dazzling ruby earrings on her ears.
She was concentrating on studying her new magic potion.
Seeing the little princess coming, the witch smiled kindly, put down the potion bottle in her hand, and asked, "Dear Salina, you came here in such a hurry, is there something wrong? Is your wound hurting again?"
"It's not me. I'm fine now."
In order to show that she was really fine, Salina turned around and stared at Wu with sparkling red eyes, "Wu, I need fire, can you lend it to me?"
"Fire is very dangerous. What do you want fire for?" asked the witch.
Linda answered quickly: "Salina is going to give the fire to the human on the shore!"
"Well, that's it." Wu frowned, and had a bad impression of humans. She said, "That human hurt you yesterday, have you forgiven him, little princess?"
Salina blushed and twisted her hands together, recalled the past, and said firmly: "He was not one of the humans who hurt me yesterday."
"Well, if that's the case," Wu turned around and started picking things up on her shelf, "then I'm willing to lend him the fire."
"Thank you, Wu." said Salina.
Linda pinched the little princess's face and said with a smile, "Salina, can I go with you to find him? I am also very curious about humans."
"sure."
Salina puffed up her cheeks and said, "Please stop pinching my face. It's swollen!"
Linda said: "It's cuter when it's swollen!"
Salina: “…”
"This is the magic potion of fire. You only need to pour out a drop each time to make a fire." The witch said, "Humans must know the steps to make a fire, so I won't explain it in detail. Go ahead."
"Goodbye Wu!"
The two little mermaids held hands, waved to the witch, and left.
Chu Qi waited on the shore for about an hour, and finally the red-tailed mermaid arrived.
Behind her, there was a blue-tailed mermaid following.
"The fire you want, um," Salina thought for a moment, "the witch said that if you pour out a drop of this magic potion, you can start a fire."
Salina's words were vague, and Chu Qi had a question mark on her head, "Is it the same principle as the lighter in the human world?"
Salina: "Huh? What lighter?"
Linda added silently: "The witch said that we can just follow your human steps for making fire."
