Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 125 - 120: Warning
Not only did Zhang Haoyu react violently, but Zhang Xue, who was almost at the end of her rope, also had her eyes turn nearly crimson when she saw the Ant Egg Soup!
It’s not that the two of them were inexperienced, but Superpower Users due to long-term inability to absorb enough Energy had reached a state of desperate thirst for Energy, completely unable to resist such temptation! Zhang Haoyu was okay; he was still young, and his Superpower had only partially awakened, so his craving for Energy wasn’t that strong. Zhang Xue was different; her body had consumed a lot of Superpower during pregnancy and was now almost exhausted, desperately in need of Energy! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The Energy in the Ant Egg Soup was exceptionally gentle, just suitable for people like Zhang Haoyu and Zhang Xue to absorb. At the moment it appeared, their bodies went wild. If not for their extreme self-restraint, they might have been controlled by their impulses.
Zhang Haoyu stared fiercely at the Ant Egg Soup not far ahead, longing to swallow it immediately. However, he suddenly clenched his fists, stopping his uncontrolled hand from reaching out to the Ant Egg Soup. He remembered that this portion of Ant Egg Soup was meant to save Zhang Xue’s life; he couldn’t eat it!
Zhang Xue’s body was clamoring more fiercely than Zhang Haoyu’s, but she restrained herself at the last moment, shoving the spoon she was gripping tightly into Zhang Haoyu’s hand, saying, "Haoyu, you must be hungry. Eat something."
At that moment, she had forgotten that this box of Ant Egg Soup was her lifesaving medicine and was just acting on a mother’s instinct to save the best for her son.
Zhang Haoyu, of course, refused to eat, stubbornly wanting to give it to Zhang Xue. The two argued for a while until Zhang Haoyu saw Zhang Xue’s insistence, suddenly burst into tears with reddened eyes, "Mom, eat it quickly, if you eat it, your body will get better. I don’t want to lose you, I want you to get better!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xue trembled violently and recovered a bit of clarity in her muddled mind. She thought about her condition, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and swallowed the whole box of Ant Egg Soup. The Soup was milky white, exceptionally fragrant and smooth, melting in the mouth, transforming into gentle Energy that constantly repaired her nearly exhausted body.
Since giving birth to Zhang Haoyu, Zhang Xue’s body had been deteriorating, getting worse with time. She felt like needles pierced through her meridians every day, and later the pain intensified as if every inch of her body was torn apart!
This pain nearly drove her insane. Had she not worried about Zhang Haoyu having no one to care for him after her death, she might have ended it all long ago! After enduring the pain so much, she got used to it and could even appear unchanged before anyone, not letting them see any hints.
But now, after just eating a box of Ant Egg Soup, the persistent tearing pain in her body had eased a lot!
Zhang Xue felt the changes in her body and looked at Tang Yiyi in astonishment, secretly glad that she made the right choice. However, the next moment, her heart tightened. It was true that the Ant Egg Soup could repair her body, but Ant Eggs were incredibly hard to find; what would she do in the future?
She didn’t think Tang Yiyi would keep providing her with Ant Eggs, nor dared to hold such extravagant hopes. She was just curious about how Tang Yiyi planned to save her next.
However, she only pondered these thoughts without voicing them. Tang Yiyi saw her confusion and, noticing her intelligent silence on the matter, was too lazy to explain, only instructing Zhang Xue to pack her things and leave with her.
Since she had decided to take Zhang Xue under her wing, she couldn’t allow Zhang Xue and Zhang Haoyu to continue living in such a dump. Not to mention the insecurity, it was also inconvenient for further treatment.
Zhang Xue and Zhang Haoyu had no objections. They were already fed up with this place. If not for the lack of extra Credit Points, they would have moved long ago rather than staying to suffer under the landlord’s temper. Now that Tang Yiyi let them move, they were happy to comply.
Tang Yiyi had already planned when she decided to save Zhang Xue. The place she lived in currently had extra rooms for Zhang Xue and Zhang Haoyu, so it wasn’t too much trouble.
Zhang Xue didn’t have much luggage, and Tang Yiyi directly stored it in the Space Button, then led the lightly packed Zhang Xue and Zhang Haoyu out the door. The shop assistant outside wasn’t aware of their deal, and when they took the blood oath, Pudding even shielded Tang Yiyi’s voice, so the shop assistant didn’t hear anything. Therefore, when he saw Tang Yiyi and the Zhang mother/son duo coming out together, he was visibly stunned.
With a keen eye, he noticed that within just an hour, Zhang Xue’s face, once pale as paper, had improved considerably! He almost immediately thought of the Ant Egg Soup Tang Yiyi previously held in her hand, involuntarily feeling a bit of envy and a hint of jealousy towards Zhang Xue!
The Ant Egg Soup was prepared solely by Tang Yiyi, and none in the Tang Family had seen it, including Tang Yiyi’s partner, Pang Zhi. The shop assistant was just an ordinary person; for him, the Ant Egg Soup was something out of legend. Although intensely curious, without seeing it himself, he harbored little covetousness.
But now things were different. Witnessing Zhang Xue’s face improving clearly led him to believe it was the Ant Egg Soup’s doing. With this thought in his mind, he couldn’t help but wonder if the Ant Egg Soup could heal someone like Zhang Xue, who was nearly at the end of her strength, what would it do for a healthy person?
Without understanding the real effects of Ant Eggs and influenced by Zhang Xue’s situation, the shop assistant unwittingly "deified" the Ant Egg Soup. He believed that if he ate that portion of Ant Egg Soup, he would surely obtain enormous benefits!
With this thought, his jealousy intensified, but he overlooked the fact that if the Ant Egg Soup had such powerful effects, Tang Yiyi wouldn’t offer it as a prize so easily. And why would the others in Qinghe City remain indifferent?
Driven by insane jealousy, he lost his reason, glaring at Zhang Xue with blatant hostility!
Tang Yiyi, walking ahead, quickly sensed the shop assistant’s abnormality with her sharp senses as a First Level Superpower User. She abruptly turned her head and saw the shop assistant behind, glaring at Zhang Xue!
Startled, she immediately frowned and looked at the shop assistant with displeasure. Her gaze was so intense that, despite being nearly blinded by jealousy, the shop assistant noticed it. He snapped back to reality in a breath, regaining his senses.
Meanwhile, Tang Yiyi coldly said, "Be careful, don’t get distracted."
The shop assistant, hearing this, understood she was warning him! Despite the distance between them, Tang Yiyi’s words seemed imprinted in his mind, making him both frightened and unable to muster any defiance!
