Gina's face flushed red immediately. She covered her throat and took two steps back. White smoke even rose from her head as if she had swallowed a piece of charcoal. She looked like she was in pain.
"Gina, what's wrong? Are you scalded? Or choked? " Meg was shocked too. He quickly put down the knife in his hand and took a glass of ice water. After some thought, he threw a pinch of sea salt into the glass and passed it to Gina.
"Gulp, gulp ~"
Gina took the glass of water, and finished it in a few gulps.
Meg could vaguely hear a sizzling sound as if water had extinguished charcoal.
Gina put the glass down and heaved a sigh of relief. Her flushed face was full of sweat, and she looked satisfied.
At that moment, she felt as if she had swallowed a ball of fire that was burning down her throat. The seawater stored in her body was almost emptied. Finally, that cup of ice water was like sweet dew from the heavens, extinguishing that ball of fire in an instant.
It was as if a hundred years had passed in that short moment. That feeling of satisfaction made her feel intoxicated.
"So good!"
At that moment, there was only one feeling in her heart.
She didn't feel this feeling even when she was at the bottom of the sea and soaking in the hot spring at the mouth of the volcano.
She calmed her breathing and calmed herself down. Suddenly, a shocked expression appeared on her face.
"I was breathing in air just now?!"
Gina was completely stunned. She tried to take another breath, and her heart started beating rapidly.
For so many years, the Lantisdeans had been unable to solve the problem of how to breathe in air. This was also the shackle that prevented the Lantisdeans from returning to the mainland.
After thousands of years of hard work, the Lantisdeans found a replacement. That was to let their people cultivate the Water Storage Spell to store seawater that far exceeded their body's needs in their bodies. Then, they would complete the breathing process in their bodies.
In essence, the Lantisdeans didn't solve the problem of breathing. Instead, they used a shortcut to allow the merfolk to live on land like humans for a short period of time.
However, this limitation was huge. Gina was already the best in Lantisde apart from the high priest, but she could only stay in the air for three hours. After that, she had to return to the sea to rest and refill her water.
Moreover, during this process, her strength rapidly dropped from level eight to level four in the sea, and as time passed, it continued to drop.
If this problem wasn't solved, even if Lantisde could return to the mainland, they would only be a weak race that could be bullied by other races.
Lantisde had worked hard for a thousand years and tried everything, but to no avail.
However, Gina could breathe in the air now?!
Moreover, after not needing to maintain her breathing, her strength had already recovered to Level Eight, which was no different from when she was in the sea.
Gina's mind was completely blank. She even felt like she was in a trance. Was she still in a dream?
She grabbed Meg's hand and pressed it on her face. The warm feeling made her sober up a little.
"I can feel it! It was true! I can really breathe in the air now! "
Gina was surprised and happy. She was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Meg had a strange expression on his face as he looked at Gina, who looked as if she had just swallowed a piece of charcoal and was now as happy as if she had found money on the ground. What was going on now?
"Gina, are you alright?" Meg asked tentatively. If she became a rash person because she ate a piece of mud casings, then he would be in deep trouble.
"Thank you! Mr. Meg!!! "Gina said gratefully as she jumped up and hugged Meg.
She finally knew why God had chosen Mr. Meg. It was because he had the ability to give Lantisde a new life. He was Lantisde's savior!
"What is going on now?" Meg raised his hand and looked at Gina, who was wrapped around him like an octopus. He was a little confused.
However, he could feel Gina's excitement because her body was so close to him, and her rapid heartbeat was transmitted to him along with her softness.
After a while, Meg finally got Gina off his body. Gina pointed at the mud casings with a red face, and gestured as she said, "Mr. Meg, can I eat this?"
She was 100% sure that this change was caused by eating this fiery eggshell. Although she could already breathe a certain amount of air, it was still a little different from breathing in the sea. She wanted to know if eating more eggshell would make her breathing smoother.
"Actually, this is the dish I wanted you to try …" Meg said helplessly as he pointed at the beggar's chicken. It was supposed to be a proper taste test, but it went awry from the moment Gina picked up the mud casings.
"But …" Although the aroma of the chicken was tempting, Gina's heart was all on the eggshell now. She wanted to know if she could breathe as smoothly as she did at the bottom of the sea after eating a sufficient amount of the eggshell. This was really too important.
Meg guessed that Gina liked to eat the hard mud casings because she had pica. After all, there were even people who liked to eat nails and glass in this world. Eating some mud casings didn't seem to be a big deal. Hence, he nodded, and said, "If you really like it, then take it upstairs for supper later. Try the beggar's chicken first. It will lose its soul when it gets cold."
After making a few cuts on the beggar's chicken with a Chinese cleaver, Meg picked up a drumstick and passed it to Gina.
The golden crispy chicken skin was still glistening with oil, and the meat was still steaming. The rich aroma of the chicken wafted over, and Gina, who was staring at the eggshell, couldn't help but turn her gaze back. She reached out hesitantly to take the drumstick.
"Let's eat." Mag made an eating gesture.
Gina held the drumstick and took a bite. The crispy chicken skin was gently bitten open, and the tender and tender chicken meat melted in her mouth. The tenderness and freshness of chicken meat bloomed instantly, and the taste buds on the tip of her tongue were immediately disarmed. She didn't have time to chew and didn't have time to gain a foothold on the tip of her tongue before it slid down her throat like a naughty chick.
Tender, without any residue, with a unique flavor. This unexpected deliciousness caused Gina to be drawn into the vortex of deliciousness.
The smooth and tender chicken meat was like a silent spring rain that gently soothed her throat that had been stimulated by the scalding eggshell earlier.
When the chicken meat entered her stomach, it melted into a warm current that seeped into her limbs and bones.
If the scalding eggshell earlier was like a hot sauna for her, then the delicious and soft chicken meat was like a massage. It was gentle and comfortable, relaxing her previously tense muscles.
"Wow!"
"This incredible taste!"
Gina's face was full of joy. She felt as though she was lying on soft clouds, and her entire body was relaxed.
She didn't even notice that her breathing was gradually becoming smoother.
"You guys are secretly having supper behind my back!"
An angry voice sounded!
