“We’ll reach our destination in half an hour. Please wait a moment. It might be a little bumpy,” Tina informed Liao Ning, her voice filled with a touch of concern.
Curiosity brimming in her eyes, Liao Ning couldn’t help but ask, “Have you consumed the loyalty potion of the elves?”
Tina paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, I have. Thankfully, the dosage was minimal, so the effects weren’t too severe.”
Impressed by Tina’s resilience, Liao Ning admired her for enduring the control inflicted by the potent Loyalty Potion while still remaining a member of the rebel army.
“Perhaps I can offer some assistance,” Liao Ning suggested.
However, upon hearing Liao Ning’s words, Tina shook her head. “The antidote is extremely valuable. I only need to endure it for another three to four months. Thank you for your offer.”
Given the scarcity of potions, especially with the decline in the number of elves, each drop was considered precious and couldn’t be wasted.
“No, you don’t need the antidote,” Liao Ning clarified, putting forth her idea. “Have you seen my live-stream? I’m a food blogger, and my ancient delicacies might be able to help you.”
Tina was aware of Liao Ning’s reputation as a food blogger, and it was partly the reason why Li Xian had sent Tina to kidnap her, hoping to leverage her ancient delicacies to win the people’s hearts.
However, Tina couldn’t comprehend how Liao Ning’s culinary skills could be of assistance to her situation.
Sensing Tina’s hesitation, Liao Ning swiftly continued, “Why don’t you give it a try? After all, I can’t return to the interstellar space right now. I’ll prepare a bowl of porridge for you. You need not worry about me escaping within the next ten minutes.”
Tina, already enduring the pain induced by the loyalty potion, pondered for a moment before finally consenting and proceeded to untie Liao Ning.
Liao Ning, finally liberated from her restraints, promptly stretched her stiff neck and retrieved a few ingredients from her Al storage.
“I never anticipated getting kidnapped, so I don’t have much on hand. Please forgive me,” she apologized sheepishly.
Truly, she had never imagined being abducted, let alone ending up so far away.
Meanwhile, Tina remained stoic, observing silently as Liao Ning swiftly prepared the ingredients. In less than 20 minutes, a bowl of seafood porridge was steaming hot and ready to be savored.
The rice glistened, and the blend of seafood and pepper infused the air with an enticing aroma that tickled Tina’s taste buds.
Liao Ning produced a few ice cubes and lightly chilled the porridge before offering it to Tina. “Give it a try. I believe it will help you.”
Tina was about to reach out but hesitated once again, her gaze fixed on Liao Ning.
“To assure you, I’ll take the first bite. That way, you need not fear any poisoning,” Liao Ning reassured, feeling a tinge of helplessness as she took a hearty spoonful of porridge.
Relieved, Tina finally picked up the spoon and, after tasting the first mouthful of porridge, found herself unable to stop. She devoured the bowl in just a few more bites.
“What is this? It’s incredibly delicious,” she exclaimed.
As the effects of the loyalty potion gradually subsided, Tina’s voice became more pleasant, and her demeanor changed.
Covering her mouth in disbelief, she gazed at the empty bowl in her hands and spoke softly, “Could it be because of this porridge? I… I think I’ve recovered!” her face and the various emotions in her eyes, Liao Ning became certain that the Golden Toad’s porridge had indeed worked its magic.
Liao Ning nodded, a smile adorning her face. “There must not have been much loyalty potion left in your system, so a small portion was enough to help you recover. Congratulations.”
“Thank you, thank you!” Tina choked back her tears, her lips trembling with gratitude.
When she was captured by the Empire’s army before, they promptly administered the loyalty potion to her. Although she managed to escape without consuming too much, the impact was still significant.
Tina had originally possessed a beautiful voice, but due to the effects of the potion, her voice had become dull and lifeless.
To her astonishment, Liao Ning had managed to restore her voice in just ten minutes by preparing a simple bowl of porridge.
Just as Tina was about to inquire further, the aircraft’s system notified them of an impending landing.
“Don’t worry, we won’t cause you any trouble,” Tina sincerely assured Liao Ning.
She proceeded to help Liao Ning fasten her seatbelt. “Once we reach our destination, I’ll explain the situation to you and provide all the details. Please trust me and our cause.”
As Liao Ning gazed at the shifting scenery beyond the window, a hint of worry crept into her thoughts. She wondered how the two little ones would react when they discovered her absence and whether their mischievousness would escalate in response..
