Chapter 48 Shell House



Chu Qi thanked Salina, then took the magic potion with both hands and examined it carefully.

The container was a small white porcelain bottle, and the potion was green. When it was gently shaken, the potion shook slightly and seemed to be very viscous.

Making fire the human way?

Chu Qi thought for a moment, carefully stored the potion in a cool place, and then walked into the woods to look for dry branches and flammable weeds.

She piled up the branches, stuffed the fluffy weeds underneath, uncorked the bottle of magic potion, tilted it slightly, and poured a drop of potion into it.

In just three seconds, the potion took effect. The fluffy weeds were instantly burned and the raging flames engulfed the branches.

Chu Qi was hungry and too lazy to look for any tools he could use, so he simply used a freshly broken branch to pick up the cleaned eel and roasted it over the fire.

After being roasted, a fragrance spreads and drifts for a mile.

Salina and Linda, who were lying on the shore bored and watching Chu Qi busying around, smelled an unusual fragrance in the air. They couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at each other in disbelief.

“Does cooked food smell so good?”

Salina's mouth was watering. She bit her index finger, and her eyes showed a desire for food.

She had just eaten, how could she be hungry?

Linda expressed what Salina was thinking: "I really want to taste what it tastes like."

It smells so good, it must taste delicious, right?

The two sisters looked at each other.

Linda gave the little princess an affirmative look.

Salina rubbed her face and said loudly: "Human, can you give us a taste?"

This fish weighs more than ten kilograms. A normal person would only need two kilograms of food. For someone with a big appetite, four or five kilograms would be enough. Chu Qi actually couldn't finish it all by herself.

Hearing Salina's question, Chu Qi generously tore off two pieces of meat and handed them to the two of them, smiling, "Of course, you caught it in the first place."

Salina couldn't wait to take a bite. After chewing for a few times, her eyes lit up and she praised, "Delicious!"

"Human, human, can you grill one more... no, grill two for us?"

Salina's soft girlish voice rose slightly, with a hint of coquettishness at the end.

"Please, please~" Linda's eyes were also shining. She was hungry and hadn't eaten yet!

Chu Qi looked at the two greedy mermaids with amusement and nodded, "Okay."

After thinking for a while, she added: "My name is Chu Qi. You can call me Chu Qi. You don't have to call me a human."

He keeps calling people "human" or something like that, which is weird.

"Oh, okay, Chuqi." Salina changed her words and naturally exchanged her name with him: "My name is Salina, and this is my friend, Linda."

"Hello, Linda." Chu Qi greeted her.

Linda looked at him calmly and said, "Hello."

The two little mermaids dived into the sea again, and soon came back with an eel each. With a wave of their hands, they threw the eels weighing more than ten pounds onto the shore.

They lay on the shore with synchronized expressions, waiting for Chu Qi to cook with great anticipation.

In just half a day, he exchanged names with the task target and used food to build a relationship with the other party. Chu Qi was in a good mood and worked harder to grill the fish.

Soon the delicious grilled fish was ready, and she handed it to the two little mermaids, one on the left and one on the right.

As the saying goes, to win someone’s heart, you must first win their stomach.

Most people have a desire for food, and mermaids are no exception.

Salina discovered that this human was very good at processing food, so she felt interested in him and planned to make friends with him.

Raising Chu Qi is like raising a big dog that you discovered by accident.

She was responsible for bringing back the food from hunting, while Chu Qi was responsible for cooking. It was the best of both worlds, and they got along very well.

But eating aquatic plants to quench thirst and eating fish to survive every day is not a big deal.

Chu Qi used plastic sheets and iron cans picked up on the beach to make distilled water.

Add fire to boil sea water, and cover it with plastic sheet to catch the water mist. This water mist is drinkable fresh water, or it can be used as a tool to collect dew at night.

As for food, let Salina catch sea creatures other than fish to eat. Sometimes Salina would also catch birds flying in the sky. Combined with the white sea salt cooked over a high fire, it could barely replenish energy.

It was a bit cold to sleep at night, so Chu Qi curled herself up into a ball, squeezed into the big dog's kennel, and slept while hugging the big dog.

The plush leather self-heating pillow is really nice.

However, when Salina came to visit her in the middle of the night one day and found her sleeping pitifully curled up with a big dog, she was shocked to realize that her friend had no house to live in.

——How pitiful.

Salina frowned, and the next day she went to the bottom of the sea and picked out a big, beautiful pink and white shell house. She pushed it to the surface of the sea with great effort, panting slightly:

"Chu Qi! I brought you a house, hurry up and pull it up. Phew, I'm so tired, I can't hold on any longer."

The seabed is at least three thousand meters away from the sea surface. It is already very difficult for Salina to bring such a heavy thing up from the seabed. It is impossible for her to push it ashore by herself.

Chu Qi was stunned. She didn't expect Salina to be so thoughtful. She couldn't help but feel her eyes getting hot.

Apart from the dean's mother, this is the first person who cares about me so much, even though she is a mermaid.

Chu Qi took a deep breath, grabbed a corner of the shell, and worked together with Salina to pull the shell up.

With a bang.

If Chu Qi hadn't dodged quickly, she would have almost been hit on the foot.

"Salina, thank you." Chu Qi squatted down and talked to her.

Talking while standing always sounds condescending, which Chu Qi felt was inappropriate, so she always squatted down when talking to Salina.

Salina said, "You're welcome."

"Sarina, can I ask you a favor?"

Chu Qi's expression was sincere.

"What's the matter?" Salina asked.

"Can I pinch your face?"

It's pink and a little bit chubby, and looks like it's easy to pinch...

Especially Linda, who comes occasionally, always likes to pinch Salina's face.

Chu Qi had seen it so many times that she felt itchy. Now that she and Salina had known each other for almost ten days, and they felt familiar with each other, Chu Qi shamelessly made this request.

Of course, she also has her own thoughts.

Mermaid, who doesn’t yearn for it?

Besides, this mermaid is so innocent and cute that she admits that she has improper thoughts.

Before traveling through time, Chu Qi was unsure of her orientation, but now she is sure, that is, what her heart desires.

It just so happens that she is now in a male body, and it is just right for her to be with a female mermaid.

Salina's face flushed when she heard this. It would be fine if Linda pinched her own face, but why would this male human pinch himself?

"I won't let you pinch me!"

The girl dived into the sea.

Bubbles gurgled up the surface of the sea.

The little mermaid with black hair and red tail was swinging her big tail in the sea and refused to show up.

Chu Qi was not discouraged when she didn't get a response, and instead went to work on her shell house.
