Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 193 The 193th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

Li Xingyu's eyes lit up when she heard Qingqi's words. She opened the door a crack, squeezed through the crack, closed the door, and stood in the middle of Yufinar and Qingqi, towards the back.

"Wow!" Upon closer inspection, Li Xingyu exclaimed in surprise.

The Xinghe group, who had previously been quite restrained and at ease, began to move with elegance and grace, while their strength and expressions became more precise.

Yufinal and Qingqi exchanged a glance, confirming each other's thoughts.

Yes, Xinghe and the others must know that Li Xingyu came to the storage room.

Look at these peacocks spreading their tails, wow!

Why didn't you participate again just now?

Unbeknownst to everyone else, Yufinal and Qingqi were secretly biting their handkerchiefs.

There was no trace of the previous disdain and boredom towards the colorful chicken.

Yes, the reason Yufinal is the goalkeeper is because his sense of smell is too sensitive, and he has never smelled a similar scent before.

It's that kind of "fragrance" that chickens that have lived for a long time naturally have...

but……

The two watched Li Xingyu getting closer and closer without making a sound, and their mood instantly improved.

oops~

The little feather is so pretty; its eyes are so bright and cute.

What is Li Xingyu thinking right now?

'Such a big chicken, it must be delicious to barbecue. Look at those wings and legs, slurp~' Li Xingyu looked at the colorful chicken's wings flapping as it moved and its muscular legs, with a suspicious liquid dripping from the corner of her mouth.

The group had never seen such a creature before, and they found it quite amusing to watch it scatter and run around.

So everyone was filled with childlike wonder and started playing with the colorful chickens.

Now that Li Xingyu has arrived, everyone is having even more fun, since they won't be able to see the chicken again for a while.

No, you can see them, but their condition is another matter.

The most likely explanation is that it has no hair, lying naked on their dining table, and its smell has changed from slightly unpleasant to fragrant.

"Gululu..."

Li Xingyu was watching with great interest when she heard the sound of something rolling on the ground, and the sound was getting closer and closer to her.

Yufinal and Qingqi watched the spherical unidentified object rolling towards them, and their postures changed slightly, adopting a combat stance that would allow them to act and react more quickly.

Looking down towards the sound, Li Xingyu saw an egg... rolling towards her, seemingly propelled by some unknown force?

Forgive Li Xingyu, the biggest egg she has ever seen is an ostrich egg, and that was on the internet.

The egg was bigger than Li Xingyu's head, and it rolled straight toward her, stopping when it touched her feet.

"Little Feather, these must be eggs laid by that flock of colorful chickens, but we can't tell which are roosters and which are hens." Qingqi looked at the giant egg in front of Li Xingyu and squatted down to examine it.

"Hmm... are there hens among this flock of colorful chickens? The eggs are still quite warm." Li Xingyu squatted down and picked up the eggs that had rolled to her feet, examining them with both hands.

The eggshell was a warm, milky white color, covered with countless bumps. It was very clean, unlike the freshly picked eggs that Li Xingyu had seen at her grandmother's house before, which were quite dirty. Perhaps it was because the ground here was cleaner.

The egg in her hands was still slightly warm. Li Xingyu looked at it with surprise at the light in the storage room.

Well, unsurprisingly, Li Xingyu didn't see anything.

It was the spiritual power that told Li Xingyu that there were signs of life inside.

As Xinghe and the others sensed Li Xingyu's gaze shift away, they swiftly grabbed all the colorful chickens.

People don't watch anymore, what's the fun in that? It's better to have Little Feather by my side.

"Hmm? Xinghe and the others are amazing! They caught all the chickens so quickly." Li Xingyu had only looked up to observe the eggs for a moment, but when she looked back at Xinghe and the others, she saw that all the colorful chickens had been caught, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

After all, no matter what, Li Xingyu always felt that catching chickens was a challenging activity, one that she wasn't really suited for.

After all, while chickens' wings can't support them to fly very far, they can still help them glide or take off slightly.

The difficulty increased dramatically, especially since they were free-range.

Tsk, hellish difficulty.

Yu Fernal and Qingqi, who were next to Li Xingyu, shook their heads helplessly after hearing her praise, and then turned their speechless gazes toward Xinghe and the others.

Ah!

"Let's go over there and see what's going on." Li Xingyu had just heard Yu Fenar explain the cause and course of events to her, and now was the time to be curious, so she naturally wanted to observe tonight's ingredients more closely.

After taking a few steps forward, Li Xingyu, holding a huge egg in her arms, turned around and called to You Feinar and Qingqi, who were still standing there.

"Okay, I'm here, Little Feather. What should we do with this egg?" Yufinal quickened his pace and followed behind Li Xingyu.

"Okay." Qingqi nodded to Li Xingyu and walked towards her.

Xinghe and the others are restraining the colorful chickens to prevent them from escaping again.

"What's up with this chicken? Is it that amazing?" Li Xingyu walked over to Xinghe and the others with the egg in her arms, looking at the colorful chicken, which looked even more beautiful and larger as it got closer, with some doubt.

"I don't know. They had already destroyed the cage when we entered the storage room. The storage room is newly built, and the cameras haven't been installed to cover it yet." Xinghe patted the fur that had gotten on her body without her noticing and explained to Li Xingyu somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, it's alright. Pfft~ Xinghe, here." Seeing Xinghe with a bright red chicken feather about fifteen centimeters long on her head, completely unaware and earnestly explaining to her, Li Xingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even gestured with her hand to the same spot on her own head.

Birds and fowl feathers are always so light that they are imperceptible to the naked eye.

Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu's somewhat inexplicable actions. Although she didn't know why, she subconsciously touched the same spot on her own head.

Xinghe paused slightly after touching the feathers, which felt different from the texture of her own hair, before removing the chicken feathers from her head.

"Ahem, thank you for the reminder, Little Feather. What is this?" Xinghe coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment, thanked Li Xingyu, and then focused his attention on the egg in her arms.

"Hmm? A five-colored chicken egg! How come there are little feathers?" The people who tied the chicken had finished and walked over to Li Xingyu. Li Yue originally wanted to greet Li Xingyu, but when she heard Xinghe's words, her attention was immediately diverted.

“When we were dealing with these colorful chickens just now, one of them laid an egg, and then it probably rolled towards Xingyu.” Elnis’s gaze also fell on the egg in Li Xingyu’s arms.

Yes, this egg was indeed laid by the Five-Colored Chicken under the watchful eye of Elnis, and he didn't know where it went after that.

The scene just now was a bit chaotic. You should have a good time playing with a creature you're seeing for the first time. Why are you paying attention to its eggs? They're not moving.

"Does this egg show signs of life?" Michael's large, platinum-gold wings flapped slightly behind him, his cool voice carrying a hint of uncertainty in its questioning tone.

"Hmm, Li Yue, how do you tell the sex of this kind of chicken? I'm thinking of raising these colorful chickens in the backyard. There's an egg here that we can hatch later." Li Xingyu put the egg in her arms into the arms of Elnis, who was closest to her. The egg not only looked big, but it was also quite heavy to hold, which was tiring.

In response to Li Xingyu's actions, Elnis merely raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing, took the egg that Li Xingyu handed him, and wore a pleasant smile on his face.

'Xingyu's actions mean she's slowly accepting us, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to react to her movements so naturally.' Ernis tossed the egg in his hand, his mind a mix of nonchalance and thoughtfulness.

Everyone else's eyes were on Li Xingyu, and they were happy to see this happen. After all, more than one person would benefit in the end, so there was no need to worry about such trivial matters.

Li Xingyu adapted well to everyone's attention being focused on her. What else could she do? Tell them to stop looking at her? There was no need to be so domineering.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these feathers are really beautiful. It's a pity they're not used to make shuttlecocks, though they're a bit long." Li Xingyu walked up to the colorful chicken whose beak was locked and whose wings and legs were tied, and reached out to touch its neck.

I must say, it feels amazing.

My heart is itching to play shuttlecock.

"Shuttlecock? What's that? Is it fun?" Che came over when he heard Li Xingyu's words. He had played with the five-colored chicken a lot when he was catching it. It felt really good, and he was almost reluctant to kill it.

"Hmm, it's a small toy. We'll process it later. When we're cleaning the feathers, we'll wash them clean and then let them dry. We can work on it together after your assessment tomorrow." Li Xingyu nimbly dodged the colorful chicken's beak.

Xinghe and the others swallowed the gasp that had been rising in their throats.

The neck of the five-colored chicken is at least 30 to 40 centimeters long, so it would be a little troublesome to tie it up and prevent it from moving.

And since water was about to boil, the people tied it up a little more simply.

did not expect……

"Oh, you still want to pecker me? I'll eat you up tonight! Humph." After dodging, Li Xingyu grabbed the neck of the five-colored chicken that was pecking at her, smiling with a dangerous and unhappy expression.

Xinghe and the others' gazes seemed to turn into knives, as if they wanted to stab the colorful chicken that was pecking at Li Xingyu to death.

Upon hearing Li Xingyu's words, everyone revealed a knowing smile.

Okay, now where should we make the incision?

Otherwise, try your best to get the knife. Although it's bloody and violent, it's what it deserves.

"Alright, Little Feather, we'll handle it properly. Which one would you like to eat?" Cain's movements remained elegant, but his whole body was filled with eagerness, drawing surprised glances from everyone.

Cain was usually humble and polite, indifferent to everything, and exuded a noble and confident aura.

This current state is truly unexpected.

However, seeing Li Xingyu, who was surprised for a moment but quickly adapted to Cain's state and was now enthusiastically choosing the lucky winner for the night with Cain, the crowd paused for a moment before joining in.

Although I was just catching the colorful chickens for fun, if I were to get serious, my actions could be a bit too dangerous. But it's just catching a chicken, so it's not that serious.

After selecting the lucky winners for tonight, Li Xingyu and his group split into two groups.

The group of people prepared the ingredients needed for tonight's dinner, led by Li Xingyu, Li Yue, and Che.

The other group was to arrange the remaining five-colored chickens. The chosen location was the back mountain of the Li family's ancestral home. The specific address would be decided upon arrival, with Xinghe leading the way.

Yes, Xinghe knows much more about the Li family's ancestral home than Li Xingyu, making him the most suitable candidate, without a doubt.

Li Xingyu asked Li Yue to take Cain to deal with the Five-Colored Chicken. This was Cain's strong request, and everyone agreed without much concern, since nothing would happen anyway.

"Oh, right, when you kill the chicken, remember to collect some of the blood, using the method I told you." Li Xingyu reminded Li Yue and Cain before going to the fish tank in the corner with Che.

Since she had promised to do it, Li Xingyu's attention was completely focused on the eye-catching five-colored chicken, and she hadn't even glanced at Yulan.

"Hmm... Che, why does this magnolia look so... special?" The dark, unidentified object swimming around in Li Xingyu's fish tank spoke with uncertainty in its tone.

The black, unidentified creature in the fish tank looks a bit like a piece of wood at first glance, the kind that's broken and tattered, but you can clearly make out the fish's mouth, eyes, and fins within the black mass—it's just a strange-looking thing.

"Well, because it grows in the deep sea, in order to resist the pressure of the seawater and to survive better, the magnolia's appearance is somewhat... special, but this does not affect its taste and nutritional value." Che explained to Li Xingyu with a serious expression, although there were two slightly strange pauses in the middle.

"Alright, I've looked at some information on how to handle magnolias: killing them and eating them directly, making sashimi, boiling them whole in a pot..."

Then, after removing the internal organs and black membrane, some are eaten directly, some are put directly into the pot after processing, and some are steamed with seasonings to remove the fishy smell...

These are roughly the methods. Aunt Yu and the others sent over a lot, so we can take our time. Li Xingyu looked at Yulan, whose appearance was a bit unpleasant to look at. It was such a waste of such a beautiful name, and she felt that it didn't live up to the image she had in her mind.

In Li Xingyu's mind, if it's called magnolia, the color must be relatively soft and bright, or at the very least, it might be inconspicuous. As for the shape, it would definitely be a common fish shape.

But think back, when people mention magnolias, not a single word is related to their appearance; it's all just preconceived notions.
