Yun Duo shook her head and said, "It should be fine, right? It just looks a little hungry." When Xiao Jiu was talking to her in her mind, she could see the meat in the bowl decreasing. What else could it be but starving?
Yun Qi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Eat more if you're hungry. There's more in this bowl if you're not full. We eat this every day anyway, so a few more pieces won't make a difference."
Actually, at first, Xiao Jiu's appetite really startled Yun Qi Shi. She was worried that the little money her family earned wouldn't be enough to buy meat for Xiao Jiu. But she got used to it later. After all, not to mention the money Xiao Jiu earned, the pheasants and rabbits it brought back with Yun Duo were more than enough to cover the amount of meat it ate every day. She just had some doubts: how could Xiao Jiu, with its tiny body, eat so much? Where did all that food go?
After Yun Duo placed the bowl of meat that Xiao Jiu was eating next to her, Yun Qi couldn't help but turn her head to take a look, and she immediately noticed the problem.
"Duo'er, look at Xiao Jiu, hasn't she grown up?" Yun Qi said, looking at Xiao Jiu.
“He’s grown up.” Yun Dazheng nodded and added.
Yun Duo finally had a chance to take a good look at Xiao Jiu, and sure enough, Xiao Jiu had really grown up!
No, to be precise, Xiao Jiu is growing up. She was certain that when she first caught Xiao Jiu, it was about the same size as before, or even looked a little smaller. But in the short time it had been walking from when it started eating meat until now, when she took it to the main room, Xiao Jiu had grown a whole size bigger than before.
"Yes, Master, I've grown a bit!" Little Nine said proudly in the cloud's mind.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I must say, I think Xiao Jiu has grown taller." Yun Duo said to Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi, and then asked Xiao Jiu in her heart, "Xiao Jiu, is it really just that you've grown taller? Or is there something else?" She couldn't help but worry.
"No, no, I've grown up, not grown taller!" Xiao Jiu said in Yun Duo's mind. After a pause, she explained, "Actually, I've advanced. After I've eaten my fill, I'll grow taller and become much stronger than before."
"So it's an advancement!" Yun Duo breathed a sigh of relief. Having experienced the rise of online novels in her later life, she understood the concept of advancement almost instantly, so she was completely at ease.
Then, Yun Qishi said, "Hey, why do I feel like Xiao Jiu is still growing? Old man, take a look, am I seeing things?"
Yun Dazheng looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "I also think Xiao Jiu seems to have grown a little more." He then said to Yun Duo, "Duo'er, what do you think?"
Since Xiao Jiu said it would grow taller, Yun Duo naturally believed it. So she said directly to Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi, "Grandpa and Grandma, I think Xiao Jiu is still growing. Could it be that it's developing again?" The two elders didn't understand and couldn't explain it to them directly, but they should be able to understand the concept of developing again.
"That's possible." Yun Dazheng nodded first, acknowledging Yun Duo's statement.
Yun Qi laughed and said, "I was saying before that it only eats but doesn't grow, and I wondered where all its food went. Turns out, it's different from us. It grows all at once. Look, isn't Xiao Jiu half again as big as before?"
