"Meow, your body is perfectly healthy. If you take these supplements indiscriminately, you could easily damage it."
Chen Yi wore a thoroughly speechless expression on his face. Men in this world are incredibly resilient, especially their nerves. They could probably plow fields all day without getting tired.
"Oh..."
Li Miao'er pursed her lips in embarrassment. If I'd known, I would've taken them out in advance. If Brother mistakenly thinks I have a kidney deficiency... that misunderstanding would be huge.
"Meow, you need to understand one thing: all medicine is toxic. The difference lies in the severity of the side effects. Healthy people shouldn't take medicine recklessly, or it can easily lead to hormonal imbalances in the body."
Chen Yi smiled faintly as he explained. He'd seen many similar cases in the past—people taking medicine when they weren't sick, only to suddenly develop a whole host of illnesses.
"Mhm, I understand."
Li Miao'er picked up the stainless steel bowl and began eating quickly again.
Chen Yi sorted the medicines on the floor into categories. About half were blood-nourishing tonics, and there was also a pile of trauma treatment supplies.
Pah! Pah!
He unwrapped two pieces of donkey-hide gelatin and popped them into his mouth. After a couple of chews, he immediately spat them out. His mouth was filled with a fishy, strange odor—he couldn't swallow it at all.
"Brother, is the donkey-hide gelatin nasty?"
Li Miao'er came over curiously, her delicate little nose gently sniffing at his fair neck.
"It's too fishy. This is the original flavor—I can't swallow it at all."
Chen Yi picked up two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin and examined them. They were the same brand, but the flavors were different.
"Brother, let me try."
Li Miao'er stretched out her arms, gently wrapping them around Chen Yi's neck, rubbing her delicate cheek against his shoulder.
"Here. Don't spit it on me."
Chen Yi smiled, tore open a piece of original-flavor donkey-hide gelatin, and stuffed it into Sister Meow's cherry-like mouth. Then he opened a box of floral-flavored donkey-hide gelatin and ate one himself.
This taste is acceptable, not nearly as fishy.
"Brother, I want one too!" Li Miao'er wiped the moisture from her mouth and came closer again.
"Haha, here you go."
Chen Yi smiled and fed Sister Meow a piece of the floral donkey-hide gelatin. This stuff nourishes yin and blood. It's not bad for the body, but you can't eat too much.
"Mmm, this is delicious. The original flavor is simply inedible."
Li Miao'er narrowed her beautiful eyes, staring at her brother's delicate collarbones and that fair, alluring skin. Suddenly, she felt a strong urge to just push her brother down and… sleep with him.
"Meow, bring the candle over and light it. If you're sleepy, go to bed."
Chen Yi glanced back, always feeling there was something off about the way Sister Miao was looking at him—as if she wanted to eat him alive.
"Not sleepy. Brother, let's tidy things up together."
Li Miao'er licked her pink lips and shook her head. She took two small desk lamps from another bag and switched them on. The dim living room suddenly brightened.
"Alright. After we clean up, we'll sleep."
Chen Yi picked up two premium-grade ginseng roots. After two hours of work with Sister Miao, they finally managed to organize all these messy items.
The walls were now adorned with many bright, pretty posters and some cute little dolls.
The table was covered with all sorts of medicines, leaving no room for snacks in the cabinets. There were also many seldom-used toys lying about.
Whew— Meow'er, let's rest for a bit.
Chen Yi pulled his younger sister's white, tender arms and stood up, ready to shower, change, and go to bed. This warm, peaceful atmosphere made one a bit drowsy.
"Ohhh~ I'm sleepy~"
Li Miao'er covered her mouth with a yawn, walked to the balcony, and opened the window to look outside.
The world beyond was pitch black. Beastly howls sounded intermittently, but human screams were no longer audible.
The smart survivors must have gone into hiding… or died.
"Brother! Why are you showering? Open the door quickly!"
Li Miao'er suddenly heard the sound of running water from the bathroom and instantly remembered she still had something to do.
"Meow, I'll be done soon. Wait a bit."
Chen Yi smiled as he rinsed the soap off his body with warm water. This little pervert definitely wants to come in and do naughty things. I can't let her bully me.
Hmph! It's fine if you wash now. I'll just bully you when we're sleeping.
Li Miao'er curled her lips, planning in her mind: What method should I use to push Brother down?
Phew— Summer is the best season for showers.
Chen Yi smiled contentedly, dried off the water droplets, put on clean shorts and a shirt, brushed his teeth, and headed for bed.
"Meow, why are you standing at the door?"
Chen Yi reached out and gently rubbed Sister Meow's slightly puffed-out cheek. She was holding fresh clothes, as if she'd been waiting for him to finish showering.
Hmph!
Li Miao'er suddenly pulled her brother into her arms, gave two fierce nibbles on his tender, moist cheek, then released him and dashed to the bathroom for her own shower.
What's going on? Why is she angry?
Chen Yi shook his head in bewilderment. Not overthinking it, he simply wiped the moisture from his face and returned to the bedroom.
In a little while, we can move to Snowfall Valley. It's surrounded by beautiful mountains, the transportation is convenient, and there's a small town nearby. It's the most suitable place to establish a small base.
Chen Yi drew a detailed map route in his journal, marking the cities and towns between Piaoxue Town and Luoxue Valley, as well as the locations of various stations and supply points.
After all, the two places are 750 kilometers apart. If something changes along the way, this map will prevent us from getting lost or going the wrong way.
If we can get a batch of firearms, it'll be much easier to develop our power. Sister Meow is very strong, but we can't neglect developing technological weaponry. It's best to advance both simultaneously.
Chen Yi lay on the bed eating a plum, contemplating his future development plans, a very satisfied expression on his face.
"Brother, is it tasty?"
Li Miao'er, fresh from her shower, rushed right over. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a lustful gleam, as if she intended to force him to… sleep.
Ahem! Meow! What are you doing?!
Chen Yi struggled to spit out the plum pit in his mouth—he'd almost swallowed it just now. This little pervert is really too much.
Mmmph—
Li Miao'er's pretty face was completely flushed. She stretched out a small hand to tightly wrap around his arm, leaned in, and pressed her lips against his sweet mouth, kissing him deeply.
What a disgrace!
Chen Yi struggled with all his might, but to no avail. He could only let her kiss him wantonly.
He closed his eyes and lay back, feeling only dizziness. Gradually, he forgot to resist and began reflexively kissing her back.
Huff…
A long time later, Chen Yi finally opened his mouth, panting heavily.
Worried I'd suffocate, this little kitten deliberately loosened her grip to let me breathe for a bit. How annoying.
Chen Yi directly wrapped the cool quilt tightly around himself, rolled over, and lay on the bed, ensuring she couldn't bully him further.
"Brother, I'll feed you plums. Open your mouth~"
Li Miao'er smirked and nudged the tightly wrapped delicate body. No wonder the taste in his mouth was sour and sweet—it's even more delicious now.
"Li Miao'er! If I'd known you were like this, I should've moved away from you long ago!"
Chen Yi hugged the pillow tightly, not the slightest bit inclined to release the blanket. He had no intention of doing anything naughty.
"Hmm?"
Li Miao'er immediately picked up her brother and flipped him onto his back. Then, bit by bit, she began peeling back the quilt with a little force, stroking his seductive, alluring body. Her lovely face grew even more flushed.
