Chapter 330: Chapter 266: Can’t Keep Eating Forever_2

```

"We can go again tomorrow. Today, let’s just have a good meal. Boss, I’ll take all of this meat."

"Oh, oh." Watching Zheng Yichen with his ’little body but cunning mind’ appearance and then glancing at the shopping cart brimming with meat, the butcher immediately packed up the meat Zheng Yichen was pointing at, thinking it was all the same money-wise, no matter who bought it.

Afterwards, he continued to the next place. As for the meat in the market, despite buying a lot, he was actually picky, purchasing only those meats that whetted his appetite. The ones that didn’t? Definitely either not fresh or water-injected.

He even thought about going to the fire dragon’s base to ask for a couple of tenderloins...

Upon leaving the market, Zheng Yichen’s phone rang. It was Ahn Qi calling, a rather uncommon occurrence. Usually, Zheng Yichen would reach out to her after returning, and only if there was a matter would she take the initiative to call.

"Hello? What’s up?"

"Did you shrink again?" Ahn Qi asked in a peculiar tone. It wasn’t that she was eager to call Zheng Yichen at this moment, but rather that her sister Ahn Ke had contacted her earlier.

Ahn Ke was very interested in Zheng Yichen’s shrinking episode, but given certain agreements and pacts between them, even if she was intrigued, she wouldn’t act on her own, which was a slight relief for Ahn Qi and prompted her to immediately contact Zheng Yichen.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"The market you went to has Ahn family’s informants, and it would be best if you didn’t wander around too much in your current state." Ahn Qi said, without mentioning Ahn Ke. Since Ahn Ke had contacted her about this matter beforehand and didn’t break their mutual agreement, Ahn Qi didn’t feel the need to bring her up.

She didn’t know the exact cause of Zheng Yichen’s shrinking, but such a change was likely to affect his personal strength. The Ahn family, because of her and her sister Ahn Longling’s close relationship, had started keeping an eye on her, and the dealings between her and Zheng Yichen were not entirely secret.

When Zheng Yichen was strong, not many dared to put pressure on her. Now that Zheng Yichen seemed weaker, some might become restless.

She could help Zheng Yichen avoid some incidents, but as he was cooperating with the Ahn family solo, it was not possible for the Ahn family to shield him from everything. They were partners, not each other’s nannies.

"Thanks, I’m heading home now." Munching on a piece of dried meat, Zheng Yichen didn’t reject the warning. Indeed, he was quite weak now, but weakness is relative to the environment.

Having consumed a fair amount of food, his weakness had diminished significantly, and moreover, he was carrying a large amount of witch’s tools, including curses and other items; when abilities are lacking, equipment compensates.

"Do you need a lot of food?"

"Eating a lot helps me grow."

"...Got it."

When Zheng Yichen got home, a refrigerated truck was parked at his door, and Ahn Qi was there too: "You don’t mind me dropping by, do you?"

"Come on in."

He had been to Ahn Qi’s place many times, but Ahn Qi had never visited his home before. The affluent lady had previously been very ’cautious,’ perhaps not wanting Zheng Yichen to misunderstand anything, or for other reasons.

"Hello, my name is Katrina." In the living room, Katrina took the initiative to speak to Ahn Qi. She was aware of Ahn Qi’s existence, but this was the first time they met the ’wealthy lady’ Zheng Yichen had mentioned. After speaking with her, Katrina realized that this young woman also had a certain power.

Especially the eye pattern tattooed on her earlobe, that mark contained a very special power.

"I’m Ahn Qi, Chang Qing’s collaborator." Ahn Qi nodded in acknowledgment. This was indeed her first real encounter with Katrina.

There were magic practitioners in Zheng Yichen’s circle, and according to her knowledge, they were from another world, something quite normal in Hazy City. Even her hunters group had such individuals.

In fact, since collaborating with Zheng Yichen, she had casually sorted out even the identity information of Katrina and Eileena.

"Stop with the pleasantries and let’s get eating,"

Zheng Yichen said impatiently. The meat had been bought, and what followed was a time of frenzied feasting. Ahn Qi observed Zheng Yichen voraciously eating and remained calm at first but then began to wonder if the environment of Hazy City had upgraded?

She watched as Zheng Yichen ate more meat than her own body volume, only taking breaks to visit the restroom a few times due to excessive drinking, yet he looked like he could keep going.

At night, Ahn Qi held a small fork and jabbed it into a piece of roasted meat on her plate. She looked at Zheng Yichen, who had slowed his eating pace, and her expression said it all, "I think you could finish all the meat in the car."

"No need to think, I can’t anymore," Zheng Yichen rubbed his belly. "I’ve reached my limit."

He had initially thought he could keep eating until he returned to normal, but as the evening progressed, he felt his digestive ability normalizing. It seemed that repeatedly eating a large amount of ’low-energy’ food meant his body no longer required such meager sustenance.

To restore his digestion, he needed to eat higher-grade ingredients, like the meat of a giant dragon.

Maybe he should ask the fire dragon brother?

Even if he couldn’t eat anymore, it would still be a record within the human range in this world, unless an experimental subject had been modified by her fifth sister. Ahn Qi set down her fork, "When will you recover?"

As she asked, Ahn Qi gave Zheng Yichen an extra look. The ten-year-old Zheng Yichen looked small, cutely soft, and not at all like a troublemaker, giving off a clever yet not dislikeable vibe. She even wanted to pinch his cheeks.

"I can’t be sure about that. It will take some time," Zheng Yichen clenched his little fist. "But it won’t affect our cooperation."

Ahn Qi shook her head, "Alien Phenomenon world incidents happen all the time, but I don’t want anything to happen to my one-of-a-kind partner."

Although the current Zheng Yichen was adorable, cuteness didn’t put food on the table. If possible, she’d prefer to see the strong, normal Zheng Yichen, not this tender little boy.

After leaving Zheng Yichen’s home, Ahn Qi didn’t go straight back but went to Ahn Ke’s residence, where her fifth sister was already waiting.

"How is it? If he can’t recover, you’ll leave him to me, right?"

"That attitude of yours will get you killed sooner or later," Ahn Qi glanced at the somewhat impatient Ahn Ke. Wasn’t it this sometimes reckless attitude that got her into trouble with so many people?

If Ahn Ke was certain Zheng Yichen couldn’t recover or would take a long time to do so, problems could arise. For now, their agreement kept issues at bay, but the impact of time could make her itch to act.

"You’ve invested so many resources into the partnership with him, and if you can’t get a good return quickly, you won’t have it easy either," Ahn Ke said lightly, laughing.

"Heh, but my partner has always given me confidence," Ahn Qi remained unmoved by Ahn Ke’s words. "I’ll stay here tonight."

She could tolerate Ahn Ke in her home clothes, as she wasn’t in work mode and didn’t have that strange look in her eyes when they talked then.

"Shall we sleep together? My room is quite large."

Ahn Qi’s smile vanished, "No!"

She could stay over, but she absolutely did not want to share a room with Ahn Ke, even if it was just for a very ordinary sleep!

Back at Zheng Yichen’s home, two witches curiously watched as he took out a sealed box. After placing the box on the table, he double-checked the witches’ protections before opening the box.

The contents were too dangerous for him to take lightly.
