"Let's make Snappy Stew first!"
Su Jiyai helped clean the meat, and Qin Feng used his blade to chop the claws perfectly.
Within half an hour, the smell in the air was heavenly.
Su Jiyai sniffed. "I think I'm gonna cry. It smells SO good."
They all sat down and took their first bites.
"MmmmmmMMMM!!" Xi Ping squealed, eyes shut.
"This is amazing," Qin Feng said with a rare soft smile.
Even Su Jiyai had sauce on her cheeks, nodding and munching with joy.
But just as they were finishing, something weird happened.
Su Jiyai blinked. Her chest felt warm, like warm sunlight was pouring inside her body.
"Hmm… What's this?" she wondered.
DING![Host's cultivation is rising. This beast's energy is very pure.]
Su Jiyai froze.
"Wait—what?"
She looked at Qin Feng and Xi Ping. They were staring at their hands, confused.
"Why does my strength feel a bit… better?" Xi Ping asked.
Qin Feng frowned. "I think… something changed."
Su Jiyai wiped her lips and sat up straight.
