I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

While Shen Rong was doing a good job, Deng Xiu was making things worse.

The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

Xie Fengnan looked at the two lively characters, his thoughts drifting away again.

Coming to her senses, Shen Rong called out that dinner was ready.

It has to be said that Shen Rong has some talent. Both of them were cooking for the first time, but Deng Xiu's finished product was not only fragrant and delicious, but its appearance was also off-putting.

However, Xie Fengnan still approved of the finished product that Shen Rong presented.

"Brother Xie, what do you think of the taste?" Shen Rong asked expectantly, waiting for a reply.

"It's alright, I can eat it." Deng Xiu said in a serious tone.

"Who asked for your comments?" Shen Rong retorted irritably.

"I ate it too, so why can't I comment on it?" Deng Xiu retorted.

"That's pretty good," Xie Fengnan encouraged.

"Really? Our Brother Xie speaks so nicely, unlike someone else—"

Shen Rong glanced at Deng Xiu and then started eating.

Deng Xiu grunted twice and then stopped talking, focusing on eating.

Xie Fengnan kept his eyes down, pretending not to see anything, and buried himself in his food.

Xiaoxue and her husband aren't eating; they're showing off their pet qualification pills.

After swallowing one aptitude pill, I felt a warm current flowing through my whole body.

Then came the heat, as if my blood was boiling.

However, it's still within their tolerance range; after a while, it feels like soaking in a hot spring.

Silent all night.

"Brother Xie—what's wrong with them!?"

Xie Fengnan was still asleep when he heard Deng Xiu's exaggerated voice.

Out of habit, Xie Fengnan did not sleep on the floor in the cave, but instead climbed up a big tree to sleep.

Therefore, he was not immediately affected by the ravages of Xiaoxue and the others after their transformation.

Xie Fengnan suppressed his morning grumpiness and went into the cave to investigate the situation.

Good heavens, there were two pitch-black lumps lying there; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were some kind of unknown pollutant.

An indescribable smell assaulted Xie Fengnan's senses, causing him to immediately turn and leave.

"They're fine. You shouldn't stay here. Let's wait until they wake up."

Xie Fengnan thought walking was too slow, so he teleported out the door.

They also started rummaging through the system.

(Xia, is this aptitude pill really that powerful? Wow, it's practically a marrow cleansing ritual, isn't it?)

"For them, the effects of the medicine were indeed immediate at first."

"It must be because he ate all the portion you gave him yesterday that this happened."

(I saw you sent me a lot of these things; I thought they were just candy to eat for fun.)

(It's one of those beauty pills or something that only works when you take a lot of them, but it actually works so quickly?)

"Anything made by Xia is guaranteed to be of the highest quality."

The system was unusually arrogant for once.

(You're still the best.)

Xie Fengnan didn't hold back his praise, after all, it was truly amazing.

When he could no longer smell the odor, Xie Fengnan stopped and glanced back in that direction.

I don't know how long Deng Xiu and the others have been poisoned by this, but luckily I like to sleep in trees. I'm proud of my bad habit.

By the time Xiaoxue woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Xie Fengnan took a nap in the tree, while Deng Xiu and Shen Rong pondered what to eat for lunch.

As soon as Xiaoxue regained consciousness, she was almost suffocated by the fumes. Lions already have a very sensitive sense of smell, and this was an unbearable ordeal.

It quickly figured out the situation, picked up its future husband from the side, and darted out to the water source it frequented to wash itself.

(Why didn't I see Brother Xie when I woke up? Did he dislike me?)

(Damn it, even if I'm looked down upon, I'm still going to cling to Brother Xie's coattails!)

(Although I know the Aptitude Pill is a great treasure, all the information comes from my inherited memories.)

(The results were indeed amazing.)

Xiaoxue looked at her reflection on the water, a reflection that felt both familiar and strange.

(Brother Xie! My benefactor! Love me one more time!)

Xiaoxue was very satisfied with her current appearance, then glanced at her future husband and thought, "Hmph, not as imposing as Brother Xie!"

However, I should take responsibility for the husband I've won over.

Following the contract, Xiaoxue quickly found Xie Fengnan's location.

"Brother Xie—I'm here—"

Xie Fengnan heard a voice he wasn't very familiar with calling him. He looked over with sleepy eyes and instantly perked up.

Goodness, although they looked completely different, he still recognized them at a glance as his little Xue and her husband.

The blood color on Xiaoxue's body had completely disappeared, and it was now entirely white. A pair of snow-sculpted beast eyes adorned its head, and a ball of fur grew from the tip of its tail. Upon closer inspection, the fur on its body seemed even softer and more luxurious.

The red collar around its neck, adorned with gold vintage bells, signifies that it has an owner.

It had grown quite a bit bigger, and Xie Fengnan felt there was enough space for him to lie down and sleep.

Oops, we've gone off-topic.

However, Xie Fengnan was quite gratified by this feeling of "my family has a beast that has just grown up".

Looking at Xiaoxue's husband, he no longer looks the same as before. His fur has evolved into gold, the mane around his neck looks very pettable, and there seems to be golden flames dancing on the tip of his tail.

However, perhaps because it was still a cub, its size did not swell up like Xiaoxue's. Xie Fengnan estimated that it was about the size of a normal lion from his previous life.

These two winning lions have gone in different directions.

Will they have reproductive isolation?

This was the first thing Xie Fengnan could think of.
