Xia Qing took the large bag of Yellow Ox Exotic Beast Meat that Lin Li had given them from the refrigerator. She took out a large chunk, diced it into cubes of various sizes, and put them in a small metal bowl for Zhou Tongtong.

"Okay." Zhou Tongtong nodded. Then, carrying the small metal bowl, she ran out of the kitchen and left the house.
Their stomachs rumbling with hunger, the two little stray cats stood in the roadside shrubbery, staring longingly in the direction of Zhou Tongtong's house.
