Chapter 2291: That Was a Stiff Salted Fish
Sivir came down after changing into her swimsuit. Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw her in the leopard print swimsuit.
She had tan skin and a curvy figure, so she looked like a s.e.xy leopard woman after putting on that leopard print swimsuit. She exuded an irresistible charm.
Especially that eye-catching cleavage.
Mag raised his eyebrows slightly. His taste was not bad. It indeed suited her.
“This swimsuit is so s.e.xy and it suits you perfectly.” Miya praised her.
“Why… are theirs all so big?” Babla pulled away her collar to take a look at her chest. She felt crushed.
“Don’t be disappointed, Big Sister Babla. You’ll be able to shatter a rock on your chest next time.” Amy encouraged her.
“Thank you so much.” Babla placed her hand over her heart.
This suggestion wasn’t aggressive, but it was very hurtful.

“I’m going to surf. You guys do as you please. Children who can’t swim will play with the sand on the beach,” Mag said before going out with a surfboard.
…
Mag had drowned in the sea in his previous life, so in order to get over it, he had been doing swimming practices recently.
From conquering the bathtub, to conquering Gina’s tank, to conquering the Aden Square’s fountain, to conquering the man-made lake… Finally, it was time to conquer the sea.
Standing on the cliff by the sea, Mag looked at the surging sea. Loud sounds were made every time the waves crashed onto the beach. He stared into the sea, which got increasingly obscure the deeper it went, as though spirits were hiding there. It gave people a suffocating fear.
Mag closed his eyes and took a deep breath before leaping down.
He was just like a beautiful silver fish…
Oh, no! That was a stiff salted fish that clashed onto the water surface hard, horizontally.
Smas.h.!.+
A loud bang and water splashed up three meters high.
The Filipino national diving team would be ecstatic if they saw that.
Mag didn’t faint, but he was just a little dizzy.
Of course, this dizziness only lasted for a moment before the salty sea water woke him up instantly.
In that moment, the shadow of death engulfed him again as though a pair of invisible hands had caught onto him and was pulling him down to the bottom of the sea.
He couldn’t get away from it and could only allow it to drag him down into the darkness.
Just like his previous life, he couldn’t fight back at all.
No!
I’m no longer Shen Mag. I’m Mag Alex, a man who is close to being a G.o.d.
A voice screamed in his heart.
He opened his eyes and the darkness immediately went away. A waterless s.p.a.ce that was three meters wide appeared around his body.
Mag floated in the sea quietly like that. His surroundings were completely silent.
He could see the bottom of the sea dozens of meters below. The little fish and shrimps were s.h.i.+vering amongst the corals and fish were quickly escaping away, as though they were spooked by something.
Mag extended his hand and slowly stuck it out of the waterless s.p.a.ce.
The sea water engulfed his palm and the s.p.a.ce instantly collapsed. The sea water swallowed him up.
However, he no longer felt fear and suffocation this time. He was floating in the sea quietly. There was a hint of shock amidst his calm expression.
Mag was indeed shocked. He seemed to have gained the ability to breath in water. He didn’t have to hold his breath, or need other breathing apparatus. He could just get oxygen directly from the water.
Mag curiously asked inwardly, “System, what is this principle?”
“This is just normal operation for a fake G.o.d. There’s nothing much to introduce about it,” the system calmly said.
“…” Mag.
Mag perplexedly asked, “Then, why didn’t I have this ability when I first fell into the water? I almost died again.”
“Any ability needs to be activated. Furthermore, it was your psychological trauma that almost killed you earlier,” the system answered.
Mag couldn’t be bothered to argue with it. However, other than receiving the ability to survive underwater in that moment, he also got rid of his trauma and fear of the deep sea.
He dived towards the bottom of the sea. He had seen a big prawn earlier…

All the ladies ran to the sea and jumped in. They began to swim happily like fishes.
With Gina the mermaid who grew up in the sea, the ladies in the restaurant had long learnt how to swim.
Amy swam two rounds in the water before seeing that Sivir was still wading at the seash.o.r.e. Hence, Amy called out, “Big Sister Sivir, let’s go play in the sea. I seem to have seen a big sea monster.”
“I…” Sivir looked at the deep blue sea with a hesitant look on her face.
She envied those ladies who could swim in the sea like fishes. She didn’t know how to swim. She was a child that grew up in the mountains. She was great at climbing trees, but it was hard for her to go into the sea to catch fishes.
Gina swam over and shook her hair before revealing a warm smile and extending her hand to Sivir. “Sivir, come over here. I’ll teach you how to swim.”
Sivir looked at Gina’s hand and Amy’s expectant eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she eventually extended her hand.
Gina grabbed her hand and pulled gently. Sivir fell into the sea.
It was already the abyss one step away.
Sivir felt as though she was stepping on soft cotton. No matter how hard she kicked her legs, her body was still sinking. The water had already submerged her waist, shoulders, neck, mouth…
The seawater’s saltiness was so clear, just like her racing heart. Her arms stretched forward stiffly, as if she had already forgotten how to struggle.
Then, she fell into a soft embrace.
Air returned to her again as the gentle voice spoke next to her ear, “Don’t worry. I’m here. Now relax your body. Imagine you are a puddle of water. Slowly… slowly merge together with the sea water…”
Sivir felt her heart calm down slowly. Then, she followed that voice’s instructions and moved her body.
The cooling seawater gradually became gentle. Moreover, she felt a power that moved upward. She only needed to control her body and coordinate with that power to let herself float on the water surface. Then, she could use her arms and legs to move forward.
“Now, open your eyes. You already know how to swim,” Gina said.
Sivir opened her eyes. Her arms pushed against the water gently and she was floating on the water surface with a smile on her face.
She really knows how to swim! It was really incredible!
“Thank you, Gina,” Sivir said to Gina gratefully.
“Don’t mention it.” Gina gave her a warm smile. “Go enjoy yourself. The sea is, in fact, the gentlest existence.”
“Big Sister Sivir, since you have learned how to swim, I’ll teach you how to dive. Take a deep breath like me and swim downwards.” Amy sucked in a deep breath and dived into the water.
Sivir hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath. She followed Amy and swam into the sea.
