Then, as expected, her stomach growled again, and the small hands rubbed her belly vigorously.

Xi Yu placed Xi Qi’s emaciated hand on her own and gently stroked Xi Qi’s belly, taking out a nutrient solution from her space and handing it to Xi Qi.

“Little Qiqi.”

Xi Qi looked at the nutrient solution with a timid gaze and then at Xi Yu, “Sister, let’s drink it together! We still have to stay here for a long time, and the nutrient solution must not be enough.”

Xi Yu looked at Xi Qi, “Little Qiqi, you don’t need to endure. You clearly haven’t eaten enough, so don’t pretend otherwise.”

Xi Qi turned her head away, no longer looking at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu: “…”

This child.

“It seems that since Little Qiqi won’t eat, I’ll have to throw away the remaining  nutrient solution.”

After Xi Yu finished speaking, Xi Qi finally turned her head, looking extremely disbelieving.

But at least she turned to look at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu directly threw away the nutrient solution in her hand. Although she felt a bit reluctant, Little Qiqi was so understanding that she might force herself to do it in the future.

Clearly not full, yet pretending to be satisfied.

Xi Qi looked on in disbelief.

Xi Yu smiled and said, “Let’s see how sister prepares other food.”

Xi Yu took out the stone-toothed beast from her space. The narrow cave instantly became filled with it. Xi Yu focused on the instructions transmitted from the system to her lightbrain. Peel the skin, shave the fur, and then process some of the toxic ribs, as well as the most important part, removing the poison sac and all the various internal organs she couldn’t process yet.

After processing the entire three-meter-high stone-toothed beast, less than 10% of it remained edible.

But it was enough for her and Xi Qi.

The system looked at Xi Yu with regret: “If it weren’t for your body’s condition, I think… you could probably retrieve more food.”

Xi Yu looked somewhat incredulous: “Does this thing really depend on each person’s body?”

“That’s not right! Under normal circumstances, if it’s toxic, it’s toxic. Why does the edibility range change based on body differences? Even if they’re different, toxins accumulate. You can’t eat too much of something toxic, right?”

System: “Strictly speaking, the parts you removed can’t all be considered toxic. Only some parts are toxic, while others contain energy that is too great for you to digest at your current level.”

Xi Yu was in disbelief: “If you say that… it’s better not to say anything at all! Even if you throw it away, won’t it benefit the star beast in the end? It’s like it hasn’t been processed at all!”

System: “…The system can acquire that part of the food. We can process that part!”

The tone was unusually sincere, to the point that Xi Yu felt unexpectedly skeptical.

System: “Don’t you believe me?”

Xi Yu: “Look, can I really trust you?”

Suddenly, the system displayed a garbled message.

“Sister, can these really be eaten?”

Xi Qi, who had been quietly watching Xi Yu, finally couldn’t help but ask.

Xi Yu suddenly realized, “Little Qiqi, these are all sister’s. You can’t eat them! If a child eats them, they’ll become ugly, and if you become ugly, sister won’t like you anymore.”

Xi Qi covered her mouth in horror and crouched back to her original position, watching Xi Yu’s skilled movements.

The system smirked and said: “Heh, this trick of deceiving children is really well-practiced.”

Xi Yu’s expression suddenly turned somewhat dangerous.
