After the system finished broadcasting, Zuo Qingya saw a red marker.
Zuo Qingya first returned the ancestor of the man-eating flower spirit to its owner. Then she arrived at the place near the reward area—well, let's just say it was another pile of trash. By the time Zuo Qingya finished collecting the trash, it was time for her to leave. When Zuo Qingya returned to her consciousness space, she saw the time was still the same: 12:00.
Zuo Qingya lay on the newly built bed. "Let's sleep first, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
When Zuo Qingya woke up, it was already the next morning.
"Zuo Qingya, get up and have breakfast! Today's breakfast is delicious!"
Zuo Qingya stretched and yawned, then cast a cleaning spell on herself before stepping out of the house, asking in confusion, "What should we eat? What's delicious?"
What is this? Why is it all green?
Xia Hua gave her a knowing look, "This is my diet meal!"
"A diet meal? Haha... I don't even need to lose weight, why would I eat a diet meal?"
"Would you like to try it first? It's delicious."
Are you sure? This stuff tastes good?
Xia Hua nodded firmly, "I'm sure, absolutely sure, this stuff is really delicious! You should try some!"
Zuo Qingya was a little disgusted. After all, how delicious could such a green blob be?
"It's really delicious, would you like to try some? Just one bite, just one bite." She said, making a cute expression.
Zuo Qingya reached out and covered Xia Hua's face, looking helpless. She could only nod and say, "Alright then! I'll just have one bite, not too much. This thing is a bit disgusting. It's such a green blob. Couldn't you at least decorate it a bit to make it look more sophisticated?"
"It's good enough to have something to eat, why complain about this and that?"
"But this thing really doesn't look appetizing at all!"
"Really? It looks pretty good to me! It's so natural and green, that's the power of nature."
Zuo Qingya sighed helplessly, "Hehe..." and didn't want to pay any more attention to Xia Hua. She picked up a spoon, scooped up a small spoonful, and put it in her mouth. The taste hit her head, and it really wasn't very tasty.
"I'm sorry, Ahua, I can only tolerate this one bite, no more. This taste is just too unbearable. How should I put it? If it looked nicer, my stomach might not be so averse to it, but it looks bad and doesn't taste good, so it's just too disgusting." With that, Zuo Qingya went to the side and vomited.
"There's no need to be so disgusting! I think it's pretty good, it tastes delicious!"
Xia Hua also scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth, commenting with relish, "Actually, it's quite delicious." As she spoke, she turned her head to the side, gagged, and then turned back to her head with an expression as if nothing had happened, completely calm.
Zuo Qingya snorted coldly, "Hmph... I saw you just gagging. Ah Hua, where's your conscience? Did a dog eat your conscience? Let me see." As she spoke, she reached out her hand towards Xia Hua.
Xia Hua dodged Zuo Qingya's grabbing hand and screamed, "No, no, don't come any closer!"
"Hurry up and tell me, what exactly is that green thing of yours made of?"
Xia Hua quickly made a gesture of surrender, pointing to the grass beside her and saying, "It's made from this. If you crush it into mud, it will turn into this."
"Then why did you say it was delicious? What is this? Isn't it just grass?"
"It's not just any grass, it's a dandelion. Do you know what a dandelion is? In the north, it's a really good thing. You use it to make things like qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling)!"
"I really don't understand. If you do, then you can eat it!"
"No way! I've already tried them and they were absolutely awful. But there aren't many ingredients here. Why don't you get me some, and I'll cook something delicious for you?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "That's not impossible."
"Alright then, tell me what ingredients you want."
"Can I have anything I want? I want lobsters, crabs, yellow croakers, sea cucumbers, and if I could get dolphins... that wouldn't be impossible either."
Zuo Qingya kicked Xia Hua to the ground. "Dolphins? You dream about everything. Dolphins? You can dream about eating them, but why are you asking me for dolphins? Dolphins are our good friends, and you actually want to eat them?"
Xia Hua covered her bottom and cried out twice, "Ouch... Ouch..." "Zuo Qingya, why did you kick me? I was just saying! If you can get it, great; if not, forget it!"
"That's more like it. I thought you were really going to eat dolphin meat!"
"I didn't say I wanted to eat it, I just said I could get it."
"Hehe... If you manage to get it, it will already be dead by the time it gets here. How can you release it back into the wild? Do you want to raise it? It's a sea animal. If you bring it to our land, it'll die."
Xia Hua scratched her head. "That seems to make sense."
"So, do you still want it or not?"
"We can skip the dolphin, but other ingredients should be fine, right? I haven't had lobsters or crabs in ages, my mouth is practically watering at the thought."
Zuo Qingya nodded: "If you want to eat it, it's not impossible. Just beg me, and I'll get it for you."
"You wish! Humph... If you want to eat it, go ahead; if you don't, forget it. Anyway, I'm just saying: if you can get it, I'll make it for you; if you can't, then goodbye! We'll just have to gnaw on this tree bark."
"Alright! I'll get you the ingredients right now, okay?" With that, Zuo Qingya took out her flying sword, stepped on it, and flew away.
Xia Hua was left stunned. "Hey, hey, hey...aren't you taking me with you?"
Zuo Qingya has already flown far away, so she can't hear it, and even if she could, she would pretend not to hear it.
Xia Hua looked at the two forgotten little animals and felt a sense of shared fate. "It's good that you two are here, Tiger and Blackie."
"Awoo awoo..." (What's so good about it? We've all been abandoned.)
This time, Xia Hua finally understood Hu Zi's expression and could only sigh, "Forget it, let's just wait!"
Actually, this green thing is edible. Once you get over that mental hurdle, you can eat anything. After all, what era are we living in? It's not like we're facing a disaster. Who knows how those fish have changed? Will they become more ferocious? Will the great white shark's teeth become even sharper? Its size will definitely increase, so one gulp and it'll fill its belly.
Just thinking about Xia Hua gives me goosebumps. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Zuo Qingya didn't know where to go either, since she had all the ingredients in her spatial storage. "Sigh... let them thaw!"
