On the third day after pretending to be asleep, Honda woke up as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Upon learning that Honda had woken up, the tent instantly filled with people.
"Great, you silly boy." Xiao Wanqing hugged Ben Duo's head and pressed it against her ample bosom, giving Ben Duo a face wash. This left Ben Duo a little bewildered!
"It's alright, it's alright!" Li Jiayu's cousin-in-law was also crying tears of joy. She had high hopes for Honda and wanted Li Jiayu to be a good match for him. If Honda knew what she was thinking, he would definitely teach Li Jiayu a lesson, something like, "Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than... you know!"
"Great! Madam Honda is awake!" The scheming fish beside him made Honda feel nauseous. Everyone was so caught up in the joy of Honda's awakening that they didn't notice how it addressed him. Honda decided that he would definitely have braised octopus sometime in the future!
"Yes! I survived this ordeal and even made it directly to the early stage of the fourth rank!" Honda recounted his situation expressionlessly. If it weren't for Xiao Wanqing's breasts on his face, it would have been even more convincing.
"What!" The tent erupted in surprise, then ecstatic joy. In this apocalyptic world, what could be more appealing than increased protective power? But the news didn't cloud their judgment; they made arrangements. Honda was instructed to rest and recuperate.
"What is this?" Honda asked humbly, looking at the suspicious object bubbling with black bubbles in front of him.
"This is medicinal cuisine!" Ran Hongxia looked at Honda with an expression that said, "You're really stupid."
"Are you sure this isn't poison?! I won't just die if I drink it!" Honda looked at the poor animal's legs, which were still trembling in the unknown black liquid, and stared in surprise at Ran Hongxia.
"Shut up! I spent three hours painstakingly brewing this. Just drink it with gratitude!" Ran Hongxia yelled at Honda, who was sitting on the bed, her face flushed. She had the air of a tsundere heroine from an anime!
"Are you sure this is safe to drink?" Honda stared at the corroded iron spoon in his hand. "Damn it! Is this sulfuric acid or lava? Are you trying to kill me just because Li Jiayu treated me differently?"
"Um, that..." Ran Hongxia stammered, looking at the medicinal food in Honda's hand. She had clearly gotten the recipe from her grandfather and brewed it according to the proportions! Although her grandfather had taken a bite with a dark expression and then 'happily' lay down on the bed to 'rest,' Ran Hongxia was still happy to let the 'great hero' Honda taste her cooking.
"Hey! Hongxia has come to see Benduo." Just as Benduo was wondering whether or not to drink this bowl of 'medicinal food', Xiao Wanqing brought a nutritious meal she had made for him.
"Look, Li Jiayu has been quite busy lately. Why don't you take the 'medicinal meal' to him? Let him have a good 'nourishment'!" Honda "kindly" asked Ran Hongxia to bring the 'medicinal meal' to Li Jiayu.
"Alright!" Ran Hongxia thought for a moment and then took her 'medicinal cuisine' to Li Jiayu!
"You young people! Open your mouths!" Xiao Wanqing smiled as she watched Ran Hongxia skip and hop away, then! She picked up some insect meat and offered it to Honda, looking every bit the loving mother. It was impossible to refuse!
Honda glanced at the bag and the mummy's hands, and sighed inwardly. He accepted the 'housewife's' service!
Seeing Honda eat the food she had prepared, Xiao Wanqing's smile became even brighter.
She'd always had this unsettling feeling that this child was a gift from heaven! If Honda knew Xiao Wanqing's thoughts, he'd be incredibly frustrated. Don't worry, you'll have a real daughter someday. By the way, your daughter is a half-body of the Goddess of Light. Her name is Li Linglong!
In the afternoon, news came that Li Jiayu had been poisoned by the Dark Octopus. Hmm! Ignore it!
For the next few days, Honda focused on recuperating. Kiyohime absorbed the Shikon Jewel and fell into a deep sleep. She's expected to evolve!
During this time, Kikyo came by once. She first inquired about Honda's injuries, and then! It was still about the Shikon Jewel, and Honda thwarted her little scheme.
She left somewhat dejectedly; it seems not everyone wants to time travel!
But finally, I can feed myself.
Looking at her hands, even more radiant than before, Honda couldn't help but marvel. No wonder she possessed the bloodline of the most beautiful royal family in the Abyss—powerful vitality and beauty-enhancing abilities. Incidentally, Li Jiayu has become even more beautiful recently. She looks like a flat-chested goddess; she and Honda are now known as the 'Goddess Sisters of Xijiang University.' It's because he always calls Honda 'older sister,' so he's the 'younger sister.'
This made Li Jiayu very upset, and she wanted to hit someone! According to reliable sources, the octopus was the first to spread the news about this.
While Honda was enjoying his leisure time, two things happened outside. First, the common people were warned of food shortages. Second, the blood demons began to cause trouble again.
Honda ignored this matter. This was Li Jiayu's crisis, but also his opportunity to rise.
