“It’s edible.” Noticing the surprised looks on their faces, Mu Qingyun explained.

"Feed me with your eyes closed. We need to change things up occasionally. We can't just eat fish all the time." She glanced at the two of them, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"Pretty domineering," Yi Beixuan muttered to himself, lowering his gaze.

Su, standing beside him, sighed helplessly. Indeed, even he was forced to practice martial arts. Wasn't that rather domineering?

As soon as the seasonings were added, the aroma immediately filled the air.

At the scent, Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye opened their eyes almost simultaneously, only to find that there was someone they didn't recognize in the cave.

"Who is this?" Xiong Ruoyou frowned, staring at Yi Beixuan with a wary expression.

"He's Su's friend. He got separated from his teammates and is temporarily staying with us," Mu Qingyun explained softly after finishing the meal.

"Oh, hello."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ruoyou immediately greeted Yi Beixuan, and Fan Xuanye also nodded to him in welcome.

"Come and eat." Fortunately, Yi Beixuan had some food with him. Mu Qingyun served them the food, and everyone began to eat.

"What is this? I've never eaten this before," Xiong Ruoyou said, taking a big bite and stuffing a piece of meat into her mouth. She nodded in satisfaction. "But it's quite delicious."

"The Zerg." Mu Qingyun replied calmly.

But as soon as she said that, Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye, who were stuffing meat into their mouths, froze at the same time, and their expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Tell me, what is this?" Fan Xuan Ye was torn between swallowing the meat in his mouth and not swallowing it. He looked up at Mu Qing Yun, hoping that he had just misheard.

However, Mu Qingyun's answer completely shattered his hopes: "The insectoid's flesh, just its skin."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ruoyou was the first to react, opening her mouth and coughing, spitting out all the meat in her mouth.

Tsk, what a waste.

Before Mu Qingyun could say anything, Fan Xuanye, who was standing next to her, spat out the meat from his mouth.

“It’s edible.” Mu Qingyun raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t easy for her to fight the insectoids. She had to endure the disgust to slice off flesh from their bodies. How could these two be so inconsiderate?

"Didn't you just say it was delicious?" She looked at the two of them, who looked like they'd just eaten shit, and raised an eyebrow helplessly.

They were eating quite heartily when they didn't know, so I shouldn't have told them.

[Haha, that's hilarious! Mu-ge looks so helpless.]

After all, they really enjoyed their meal.

Yes, it smells so good I want to get some to eat. That white meat looks really delicious.

However, eating something without knowing it is a completely different experience than eating it with knowing it.

Yes, when you don't know what you're eating, you just think how delicious it is, but once you know what you're eating, you start to imagine what it looks like.

[Don't even mention it, I can picture it right now. Just thinking about the Zerg gives me the creeps.]

"No, I'm not eating anymore, I feel nauseous." Fan Xuanye frowned, and gently placed the bowl on the ground. The glistening white meat inside made him want to vomit.

"I can't eat anymore, Brother Mu, I really can't eat. Just thinking about the Zerg makes me nauseous." Xiong Ruoyou shook her head apologetically. The more she looked at the white meat, the more disgusted she felt. She simply grabbed something from the side and covered the bowl with it.

"It's alright, if you can't finish it, that's fine. I'll get you some fish tonight," Mu Qingyun said casually, glancing at the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye felt embarrassed.

They neither hunted nor cooked, yet they were picky about the food Mu Qingyun made; it really sounds quite heartless of them.

"Um, let's go fishing tonight, you can rest." Xiong Ruoyou pursed her lips, carefully observing Mu Qingyun's expression.

Mu Qingyun had no objections. She wasn't one to work hard, so she naturally had no reason to refuse when someone offered to help. "You all go together tonight, I'll stay here and look after the house."

"good."

...

In the evening, the four of them set off first. When they arrived at the cave entrance, they split into two groups: Su and Yi Beixuan went fishing, while Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye went to catch rabbits and birds.

"Turn off the live stream." Su raised her hand to turn off her own live stream, and didn't forget to turn her head to remind Yi Beixuan.

"It's a waste of your talents to send you fishing." Yi Beixuan turned off the live stream, not forgetting to tease Su in a low voice.

Hearing this, Su shook his head. "No, this is called making the best use of resources."

"Alright, alright, let's make the most of everything." Yi Beixuan turned his head, looked at the sea, and with a flash of electricity in his right hand, he slashed at the sea.

The lightning was so powerful that as soon as it entered the sea, the intense electric light instantly turned the small fish in the shallow waters into charred remains.

Su: ...

"Are you out of your mind?" Su really couldn't understand this person's thought process.

"I originally wanted to just electrocute them, which would save your successor the trouble of grilling the fish." Yi Beixuan looked at the few "charred" fish floating on the sea and smiled awkwardly.

"No way, do you have any common sense? How can you eat something that's been electrocuted to a crisp!" Su glared angrily, wishing she could punch him right then and there.

He usually looks like a refined scoundrel, how come he's acting so inhumanly now!

"Never mind." Taking a deep breath, Su glanced at him, and his right hand unleashed its water-based power, instantly sweeping up fish and lobsters from the seabed and hurling them towards them.

"Hurry up and pack it up and leave." Su frowned in disgust, took a few steps, then turned around as if she suddenly remembered something and said, "When we go back, you have to support me. I need to pretend to be sickly."

"You still need me to help you up? You were putting on a good show before." Yi Beixuan picked up the fish and lobster from the ground and placed them in the corner of the storage bag to avoid any contact with his other items.

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up." Su gave him a cold look.

Upon hearing this, Yi Beixuan was speechless, but there was nothing he could do; it was his own fault for coming here when he had nothing better to do.

On the other side, Mu Qingyun, who was alone in the cave, also turned off the live broadcast device, thinking about the plant traces she had found back then.

That day, Bai Feifei dug through a thick layer of dust here, which exposed the plant roots hidden underneath.

She waved her left hand, and a green light shone brightly in her palm. She gently pressed it to the ground, stimulating the plant traces she sensed.

No, the energy is too weak.

She frowned, trying her best to channel all the energy in her body into her left hand.

Just as she was about to exert her strength, a rustling sound came from outside the cave. Mu Qingyun suddenly opened her eyes and stared warily at the outside of the cave.

"Mu Qingyun, are you there?"
