An Yuan has awakened her superpower.
Not long ago, not many people knew about it, but Ano was one of them.
Also a female who awakened her superpower, An Yuan was beautiful, and Wen Li couldn’t compare to her.
Moreover, An Yuan was very gentle and doted on her beast husbands.
Thinking of her beloved, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Ano’s face.
The shaman saw this and shook her head, “An Yuan already has so many beast husbands.”
Even if Ano married An Yuan, she wouldn’t be the first beast husband.
Ano said seriously, “It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind.”
The shaman didn’t say anything more, just sighed softly.
Since An Yuan became beautiful, she attracted the attention of many males in the tribe, and even Ano, who was not interested in females, was no exception.
Meanwhile, Liang Yi listened quietly to all of this, lost in thought.
On the other side, Wen Li and Xin Yuan had returned to their dwelling.
The first thing Wen Li did when she got home was to draw blood for Xin Yuan.
Although she didn’t know the principle behind breaking the curse, she would do as the shaman said.
Wen Li found a wooden bowl, took out a dagger, and held it against her wrist.
The cold dagger pressed against her warm skin, and Wen Li instantly got goosebumps.
She knew that as long as she made a small cut, blood would flow out, and the pain would only be temporary.
But Wen Li still couldn’t overcome her fear.
She had always been afraid of pain.
In her original world, Wen Li had never suffered any serious injuries.
She had no tendency for self-harm and cherished herself the most.
The only pain she had probably experienced was getting injections.
But injections were completely different from cutting herself.
Wen Li bit her lip tightly, constantly hypnotizing herself: It will be over in one go, it won’t hurt, quickly! It will be over soon!
However, her hand still trembled uncontrollably.
She couldn’t get past the final hurdle.
She looked at Xin Yuan for help, “Xin Yuan, why don’t you cut it for me? I can’t do it myself…”
Xin Yuan had been watching Wen Li’s every move.
Seeing her originally rosy face turn pale, her fingertips trembling, yet she still insisted on drawing blood.
Xin Yuan was moved.
She was helping him.
Realizing this, Xin Yuan felt a jolt in his chest, an indescribable feeling spreading through his body.
He took the dagger from Wen Li’s hand, “You are really willing to draw blood for me?”
Wen Li’s fear was greatly reduced by Xin Yuan’s interruption, and she was even a little speechless.
“… Otherwise, you want me to watch you die?”
Xin Yuan looked at her deeply, and that electric-like strange feeling in his chest struck again.
He reminded her, “Close your eyes.”
Wen Li obediently closed her eyes.
She thought that when she used to get injections, the doctor would say the same thing, “Don’t look, it won’t hurt if you close your eyes.”
Immediately after, Wen Li felt a warm, rough hand grasp her forearm.
Wen Li wasn’t inexperienced with men, but this time, it felt very strange.
The sensation of being touched was particularly strong, and Wen Li’s thoughts began to wander.
A sudden thought arose in her mind: Xin Yuan’s hands are so big.
Even though her current body was fat and her arms were thick, Xin Yuan easily held her arm.
While she was distracted, she felt a slight stinging pain in her wrist.
Wen Li suddenly opened her eyes and found that Xin Yuan had already made a cut.
The cut was very small and precise.
Blood was gushing out from the cut.
Wen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her posture, and began to draw blood.
The blood dripped into the bowl little by little, collecting.
“I’ll go pack things up,” Xin Yuan said.
They hadn’t had time to pack the things they collected today.
The baskets were casually placed on the ground, tilted and askew.
Wen Li said, “Okay.”
Xin Yuan carried the baskets into the cave and began to sort the wild chickens and tomatoes they had collected today.
Wen Li sat outside drawing blood.
Since the cut Xin Yuan made was not large, the blood flow was not fast, and it would take some time to fill half the bowl.
Wen Li looked up at the sky.
It was already afternoon when they returned, and without realizing it, the sky had completely darkened.
Wisps of cooking smoke rose in the distance, and many families were already preparing dinner.
Wen Li already had a plan for tonight’s dinner.
The tomatoes and wild eggs found today could be stir-fried as a dish, tomato and egg stir-fry, or made into soup. The wild chicken could be roasted.
Just thinking about the taste made Wen Li’s mouth water.
In her original world, she was used to three meals a day, and the long intervals between meals felt a bit too much for her.
But then again, her top priority now was to lose weight.
Eating less was also good, Wen Li comforted herself.
While she was lost in thought, half a bowl of blood had been drawn.
Wen Li used her healing superpower to recover from the injury and called out to Xin Yuan.
“Xin Yuan, it’s done.”
Xin Yuan quickly walked out of the cave, and Wen Li handed him the wooden bowl containing her blood.
“Drink it.”
“Thank you.”
Xin Yuan said, picking up the wooden bowl.
Without hesitation, he drank half a bowl of Wen Li’s blood.
It tasted like rust, but Xin Yuan didn’t even blink. For Xin Yuan, who was used to eating raw meat, the taste was not difficult to accept.
Wen Li stood up.
After Xin Yuan finished drinking, he looked at her, “You rest for a while, I’ll cook tonight.”
Wen Li thought of the roasted meat he made this morning and decisively refused.
“No, I’ll do it.”
Xin Yuan was stunned, not expecting her to refuse him so readily.
Suddenly thinking of something, a blush crept onto his cheeks.
“Then I’ll help,” Xin Yuan said softly.
Wen Li smiled, “Okay.”
She might as well use the help offered.
Wen Li signaled Xin Yuan to heat some water and wash the tomatoes and potatoes, while she went to kill the chicken.
Xin Yuan was much more efficient at washing things.
Wen Li only needed to handle the killing of the chicken. They divided the work and were very efficient.
After washing, Xin Yuan cut the tomatoes and potatoes into pieces as Wen Li requested and set them aside.
“Today, I’ll let you taste tomato and egg stir-fry, and roasted chicken. It will be absolutely delicious.”
Wen Li said while marinating the chicken.
Xin Yuan’s throat involuntarily bobbed when he heard her say that.
He had tasted Wen Li’s cooking twice already and hoped she could surprise him again this time.
Marinating the chicken took some time, so Wen Li started stir-frying.
The stone pot in front of her was barely usable. Wen Li poured the oil given by the system into the stone pot, then cracked in the eggs.
After the eggs were cooked tender, she scooped them out and continued to stir-fry the tomatoes.
Simple operations, and the aroma filled the air.
Xin Yuan stared intently from the side, unable to look away.
It was too fragrant!
The fruit, which originally tasted bad, even unpleasant, could become so fragrant after Wen Li stir-fried it.
Xin Yuan couldn’t understand.
Wen Li added salt and MSG, and simply adjusted the taste.
Her tomato and egg stir-fry was savory, sour and salty, very appetizing.
Wen Li scooped a spoonful and tasted it simply.
“Mmm, not bad.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Li noticed Xin Yuan’s undeniable gaze.
He was staring intently at the small spoon in her hand that held the tomato and egg stir-fry, the words “I want to eat” almost spilling out of his eyes.
Wen Li tentatively scooped a spoonful, “Do you… want to try it?”
Xin Yuan nodded vigorously.
Wen Li reached out to hand him the spoon, then quickly realized that she had used this spoon not long ago.
Xin Yuan would definitely mind.
“Wait a moment, I’ll get another one…”
Before Wen Li could finish speaking, Xin Yuan had already opened his mouth and taken the spoon she had used.
