"Boom boom boom!"
At that time, there was a knock on the door, and Hancock's voice:
"Sister Zhili, may I come in? Dinner is ready! Come out and eat!"
"Squeak!"
The next moment, Uchiha Zhili walked over and opened the hatch, then said to Hancock with a smile,
"Have you eaten? Thank you very much! Please lead the way!"
As she spoke, she turned and waved to Xuan Qing, then followed Hancock out of the room.
Xuan Qing also stopped writing, stood up, and followed. Soon, they arrived at a huge restaurant.
"Master Zhili, welcome!"
"Welcome!"
"Thank you, Lord Zhili, for your previous rescue!"
A group of female warriors from Nine Snake Island saw Uchiha Zhili appear, and they all thanked her respectfully and gratefully.
There was still reverence and fanaticism in their eyes. Obviously, for the female warriors of Nine Snake Island, strong women attract more favor and admiration. Of course, a few female warriors walked over and started teasing Xuan Qing. This made Xuan Qing look very upset.
"Alright! Lord Zhili and the others are here, let's have dinner! Lord Zhili, please take a seat here!"
The team leader clapped her hands and immediately guided Uchiha Zhili and Xuan Qing to the main seats.
She waited for Uchiha Zhili and the others to start eating before inviting everyone else.
"Huh? This meat..."
After swallowing a mouthful of meat, Uchiha Zhili felt warmth in her stomach, and warm currents began to flow throughout her body.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. This kind of meat, full of vitality and nutrition, was comparable to many precious medicines in the ninja world.
Considering the life-filled sea beasts she had sensed in the sea and what Xuan Qing had said, she was excited but remained calm and asked the leader beside her,
"This should be the meat of a sea king, right?"
"Yes!"
The leader nodded affirmatively and asked with a smile,
"It's just the meat of an ordinary sea king, over a hundred meters long. Is it to your liking?"
In fact, the team leader also noticed some abnormalities in Uchiha Zhili and Xuan Qing. That is, the two gave her the impression that their physique and vitality were not particularly strong.
If she had not seen Uchiha Zhili's powerful strength with her own eyes, she would not have believed that Uchiha Zhili, with such a weak physique and vitality, could be so strong.
In the general perception of the pirate world, a strong person must have strong vitality and physique.
Even those who rely on Devil Fruits have vitality far beyond that of ordinary people.
And Uchiha Zhili gave her the feeling that her vitality was even less than hers. Not to mention Xuan Qing, whose vitality and physique were not even as good as those of an ordinary civilian child.
Of course, she didn't think too deeply about it and just thought that something ing wrong with Xuan Qing or Uchiha Zhili's body.
After all, they seemed to be planning to see a doctor.
"That's great! That's thoughtful!"
Uchiha Zhili responded with a smile, but was quite surprised inwardly.
"The flesh of a hundred-meter-long rs long has this effect. What if the flesh of a sea king is several hundred meters or even a thousand meters long?"
She couldn't imagine it.
She felt that just by eating the sea king meat, combined with health-preserving exercises, her physical strength and vitality would increase several times over a month.
At this moment, as the sea king's meat was digested, warm currents flowed throughout her body.
She could clearly feel that every cell in her body craved this warm energy and devoured it rapidly.
Her physical condition improved visibly, and even her complexion became much rosier.
The long-term extraction of chakra, coupled with the essence of life, suddenly provided vitality and high-nutrient substances suitable for cell absorption.
The effect was somewhat too pronounced. But Xuanqing's situation was not so good.
He had just swallowed a piece of sea king meat when he felt the pressure in his stomach increase greatly. It felt difficult to digest, and the digestion process was very slow.
But the vitality and nutrition contained in this meat slowly digested made him feel warm all over.
The fatigue and soreness from previous practice dissipated considerably. The serious illness also lessened somewhat.
"I didn't expect my stomach and digestive system to be so weak?"
Uchiha Xuanqing's heart sank, and he immediately ate a few more pieces of meat, then stopped and said to his mother and the leader,
"Mom! I don't feel very hungry right now, so I'll just eat this first. I'll take some food back to my room!"
He planned to try digesting the food by practicing health-preserving exercises to see if it would be effective.
Otherwise, given the current situation, he wouldn't be able to enjoy the sea king's meat.
If even the health-preserving exercises didn't work, he could only prescribe himself medicine to improve his digestion.
"Um?"
Uchiha Zhili was slightly startled, then looked at Xuanqing and roughly understood what he meant from his expression. She immediately nodded and said,
"Okay! Then you go!"
Afterward, she turned to the leader and said,
"I'm sorry! My child is too weak."
"Fine!"
The team leader quickly shook his head and said,
"I hope he gets better soon!"
"Don't worry, we will finish the work as soon as possible and send you to Magnetic Drum Island for treatment!"
Then, the team leader instructed Hancock, who was nearby:
"Hancock, take Brother Xuanqing back to his room!"
"All right!"
After hearing this, Hancock could only helplessly put…
Own the food in her hand, stood up, waved to Xuanqing, and then took Xuanqing away from the living room.
Xuan Qing quickly picked up the large plate of meat in front of him and followed. On the way,
"It looks like you're really seriously ill! I hope you get better soon!"
Hancock looked at Xuan Qing with sympathy.
"Yes!"
Xuan Qing smiled faintly and nodded. Even though he has cheated, he still has this confidence.
At the same time, he also checked with his talent and found that Hancock's favorability towards him had reached 52 points.
It's not low anymore.
"Unfortunately, my current strength is too weak. If I personally rescue Hancock and the others this time, I'm afraid Hancock and even some of the Nine Snake Island female warriors' favorability towards me would have reached the minimum requirement for binding, right?"
Xuan Qing thought with some regret.
This is not an exaggeration. Because the female warriors of Nine Snake Island are relatively pure, their favorability towards a savior will be higher.
Soon, Hancock sent Xuanqing back to the room.
Xuan Qing didn't keep her any longer and sent her away to continue eating.
After Hancock left, Xuan Qing put down the food in his hand and stretched. I feel like I have recovered a lot.
After more than an hour of rest and the nourishment of the sea king meat in his stomach, the soreness and fatigue have been mostly reduced.
He immediately began to practice health-preserving exercises.
As the action progressed, Xuan Qing could clearly feel that the digestion of sea king meat in his stomach was accelerated.
At the same time, streams of warmth spread from the stomach to the whole body.
The whole body feels warm and comfortable.
[You eat sea king meat to help you practice health-preserving skills, proficiency +3, life span +3, life essence +0.01]
"Wow! Not only has the lifespan increased, it can even restore the essence of life? That's great!"
"This origin of life should be related to the root of my congenital deficiency, right?"
"There is hope for recovery!"
"Perhaps, as long as I use the flesh of sea kings and practice health-preserving exercises, I can make up for my congenital deficiencies and completely recover my health without any additional treatment or conditioning?"
Uchiha Xuanqing thought excitedly. He felt that he had underestimated the benefits of sea king meat to him as a ninja.
