Through the fresh-keeping storage bag, Song Mingqian poked the stem of the Blood Kirin with his finger, and a little scarlet juice slowly seeped out from the stem.
"Ahhh! It's really red juice! No wonder it's called Blood Kirin!" Song Mingqian screamed in exaggerated surprise.
Who would have thought that the juice inside the greenish exterior would be as red as blood.
Li Fu slapped his hand away and glared at him, "Don't be so grabby! If you break it, you'll have to pay for it!"
Song Mingqian:"..."
Can't afford to pay, can't afford to pay!
"Fu Ye, what do you think the rewards for this mission will be? It should be more generous than our previous D-Rank mission, right?!"
"Dream on! --Hehe, but I'm dreaming of something even better!"
As they talked and laughed, Xia Chujian realized it was time and gently lifted the lid of the steamer.
The unique aroma of Unicorn Cattle meat mixed with the fragrance of specially supplied Plain Girl Flour instantly conquered everyone's taste buds.
Li Fu was the first to rush into the kitchen: "Come on! I heard Xia Chujian made meat buns!"
Then, he was shocked by the huge meat buns.
The steamed half-jin meat buns, white and plump, were piled in the silver-black steamer, the visual impact was amazing.
Song Mingqian's eyes turned red with impatience, he pushed Li Fu away, took the top one first, and took a bite directly, ignoring the heat.
"Ahhh! So fragrant!"
He felt at a loss for words, repeating only the two words "so fragrant".
Li Fu and Ping Qiong didn't even bother to talk, just buried themselves in eating.
Xia Chujian also scooped a large bowl of rice porridge for each of them.
She said with a smile: "Produced by Tantai Royal Field Rice, exclusively for the Royal Family, you had it last time."
Not to mention others, Xia Chujian ate with particular relish.
Rice is the most demanding test of the quality of ingredients.
Because the best way to eat it is plain.
And for plain food to be delicious, the requirements for ingredients are the highest.
She only ate half a beef bun, but drank several bowls of rice porridge.
She gave the other half of the beef bun to Small Dog.
San Zong and the Griffon Sea Eagle outside the Flying Vehicle both had large meat buns.
Xia Chujian didn't actually know if the Griffon Sea Eagle, a strange beast, could eat meat buns, but adhering to the principle of "it doesn't hurt to try," she still gave it one.
The Griffon Sea Eagle ate one in one bite.
Before it finished eating, it became excited, chased to the door of the Flying Vehicle cabin, and kept smashing the cabin door with its big head, insisting on another meat bun.
Xia Chujian had no choice but to give it another one.
San Zong ate much slower, chewing each bite carefully, as if worried that there would be nothing to eat in the next bite.
Despite eating heartily, the meat buns Xia Chujian made were too big, and after breakfast, there were still more than a dozen meat buns left.
Xia Chujian packed two into an insulated lunch box, then filled a bowl of porridge and two egg pancakes, and asked Li Fu to take them to Ye Shijie.
Li Fu and Song Mingqian exchanged a look, and said with a smile: "Chujian, come back with us, Ye Dui is just tough on the outside but soft on the inside, he said that yesterday because he was worried about you. He didn't mean it."
Xia Chujian had already forgiven Ye Shijie, and she was also worried about Ye Shijie's injuries, so she said: "I understand, how about this, you go and deliver the food to Ye Dui, and tell him that we will return to Mulan City today, okay?"
"Okay! No problem! Leave it to me!" Li Fu's chest thumped loudly.
Xia Chujian added: "I want to drive this Flying Vehicle, following behind you, can I?"
She looked at Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ping Qiong with hope, almost clasping her hands together.
Li Fu didn't dare to make a decision on his own at this time, scratching the back of his head and saying: "...I'll help you ask, it should be no problem, ha..."
...
Li Fu and Song Mingqian returned to the small wooden house together.
Ye Shijie did have a fever, but after taking antipyretics in the morning, he was much better.
His main problem was the decline in his Mental Strength level, which led to a serious decline in his immunity.
Otherwise, as a D-Rank Gene Evolver with Mental Strength, how could he have the common cold and fever that ordinary humans have?
Their team's antipyretics were originally prepared for Xia Chujian, the only ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chujian never used them, but Ye Shijie, the team leader, did.
As soon as Li Fu and Song Mingqian came in, they divided the work.
Li Fu went to heat up the meat buns and egg pancakes.
Song Mingqian went to heat up the porridge.
When the aroma came out, Ye Shijie also sat up from the bed.
This time he didn't refuse, and silently took the meat buns and egg pancakes from Li Fu and began to eat them in big mouthfuls.
Song Mingqian's heated rice porridge was his side dish.
After Ye Shijie finished a big meat bun, he sweated again and felt much better. Then he asked Li Fu, "Where's Chujian? Why didn't she come back with you?"
His question meant that he was no longer angry and had forgiven her.
Taking advantage of Ye Shijie's good mood after eating and drinking his fill, Li Fu hurriedly told him about Xia Chujian's request.
Ye Shijie thought for a while, then looked at the Blood Kirin that Li Fu handed over, and nodded, "Okay, she can drive that Flying Vehicle. Anyway, it's a captured trophy. If you all agree, we'll treat it as our team's own asset and not hand it over. Let Chujian use it."
In fact, he meant to just give this captured civilian Flying Vehicle to Xia Chujian.
Li Fu and Ye Shijie had no objections.
They were both Gene Evolvers and had many ways to make money. They could afford to buy a civilian Flying Vehicle.
But Xia Chujian was different.
She was an ordinary person. It was said that she had her gene level tested in the association, and she belonged to the kind of gene that could not evolve at all.
She had very few ways to make money.
"Okay, we'll listen to Ye Dui. I'll talk to Cai Jie about it." Song Mingqian agreed immediately.
After speaking, the two began to pack their things and prepare to leave.
Ye Shijie began to eat his second meat bun. After eating, he slept for a while, and when he woke up, he found that he actually felt much better.
His Mental Strength, which had originally dropped to E-Rank, had returned to D-Rank! It wasn't his previous mid-stage, but the initial stage.
But it was much better than dropping to E-Rank! How could this be? Ye Shijie was excited. He carefully thought about his experiences from last night to this morning. The only difference was probably the two big meat buns he ate this morning!
He suppressed his shock and couldn't help but ask Li Fu, "What kind of meat was in that meat bun today? Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat?"
But he didn't know that Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat had the effect of healing Mental Strength.
Song Mingqian told Ye Shijie, "I heard it was Unicorn Cattle meat, caught by that assassin. Yesterday's scrambled egg and beef Egg Fried Rice was also Unicorn Cattle."
Ye Shijie's mouth twitched. At this moment, he hated himself for being so pretentious and not eating that bowl of scrambled egg and beef Egg Fried Rice yesterday! He only knew that Unicorn Cattle was also a specialty of the Exotic Beast Forest, but it wasn't as famous as Black Truffle Wild Rhino Pig. There was basically no supply of this kind of beef in outside restaurants.
But then he thought that the assassin was a Rank B peak Mental Strength Gene Evolution expert! Ye Shijie felt that he had an epiphany.
That assassin should know that Unicorn Cattle had a repairing effect on Mental Strength, so he specifically targeted this kind of Unicorn Cattle for hunting, right? Ye Shijie asked calmly, "Is there any more? I think this beef is delicious."
"Yes, there seems to be half a jar in that Flying Vehicle," Li Fu said casually. "That assassin's Flying Vehicle is a civilian Flying Vehicle. It not only has a storage room, but also a kitchen and a bathroom. - Shall we fly the Flying Vehicle to Chujian's place?"
Ye Shijie wanted to confirm whether it was the function of the Unicorn Cattle beef that restored his Mental Strength. Unable to suppress his excitement, he nodded and said, "Is everything packed? If it's packed, let's go."
The things in this Small Wooden House had been cleaned up by Li Fu and Song Mingqian.
There was still a lot of the Black Truffle Wild Rhino Pig meat that they had hunted when they first arrived, and it was frozen hard outside.
Unfortunately, their Flying Vehicle was a Combat Aircraft, and the refrigerator was pitifully small, so they couldn't fit it all in.
Song Mingqian said, "Don't worry, take it to Chujian's place. Her civilian Flying Vehicle has a storage room that can adjust the temperature."
Song Mingqian put all the frozen Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat into the Flying Vehicle, while Li Fu carried Ye Shijie on his back and boarded the Flying Vehicle.
Li Fu was in the back row taking care of Ye Shijie, while Song Mingqian was responsible for driving the Flying Vehicle.
Before long, he had driven the Flying Vehicle and parked it not far from Xia Chujian's civilian Flying Vehicle.
Once they were close enough, their smart bracelets could communicate.
Song Mingqian first sent a message to Ping Qiong, telling her that they had decided to give this civilian Flying Vehicle to Xia Chujian, and asking for her opinion.
Ping Qiong was also a Gene Evolver, and her family's situation was in the middle class of Mulan City. She didn't care about this kind of civilian Flying Vehicle, and she agreed immediately.
She even directly said to Xia Chujian, "Little Chujian, Ye Dui agreed to give you this captured civilian Flying Vehicle. Our team won't hand it in as spoils of war."
Xia Chujian was pleasantly surprised. Although she wanted to temporarily borrow this civilian Flying Vehicle, she hadn't thought about completely owning it.
She said embarrassedly, "...Maybe I should just borrow it..."
"Don't... just take it if we give it to you. Why are you being so polite with us?" Ping Qiong glared at her playfully. "Besides, you saved everyone this time, and you even found the Blood Kirin. When we go back, the association will reward us with a lot of good things!"
Xia Chujian smiled and didn't insist anymore, saying, "Thank you, Cai Jie, and please thank Ye Dui, Fu Ye, and Brother Song for me."
"It's nothing! I'll send them a message." Ping Qiong said casually, sending a text message to Song Mingqian's smart bracelet.
Song Mingqian replied, "I'll come over right away to help Chujian clean up that Flying Vehicle."
"...It's very clean, there's no need for you to clean it." Ping Qiong didn't understand what he meant.
Song Mingqian didn't reply, but came over directly.
"Little Chujian, congratulations on having your own Flying Vehicle." Song Mingqian smiled and cupped his fist at her.
Xia Chujian nodded, "Thank you, everyone. When my aunt is better, I'll have her treat you all to a meal."
Song Mingqian swallowed, and said eagerly, "Then let me show off a little! Little Chujian, the system of your Flying Vehicle needs to be modified, otherwise, as soon as you leave this place, you might be discovered and locked down."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Oh right, forgot about that.
...
The second update is at one o'clock in the afternoon. I need to save up some drafts before I can update two chapters together.
