Chapter 8: Helplessness

Cang Chuo's body convulsed, "Who are you trying to fool? Although Xiao Jianjian cannot perceive the energy within you, you are certainly much stronger than us; otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to defeat those five individuals"

When Meilan Sha was about to head home after her outing, she realized that since it was her first time going out alone and considering the dangerous nature of the place she had come to, many people would likely have trouble sleeping tonight. Therefore, she thought about coming back another day. However, after noticing something familiar on the ground, she decided to delay her departure.

Item 5, which is also the most important, is sweet potato. No need to say anything else, today's breakfast will be sweet potato porridge

Do you have feelings

The other party shook their head

Meilansha excitedly held up the warehouse and happily said: "Fellow kind." This was met with a puzzled expression from the warehouse.

Then we will meet here tomorrow, as I am more familiar with the Enigmatic Forest than you

There was also a plethora of flowers, including peonies, lilacs, wild roses, and apple trees, all of which were drawn into Meilan Sha's ring

The adorable creature, being a carnivorous animal, does not understand what makes it so delicious

After receiving the desired answer, Meilan Sha picked up a small, bright red sweet potato from the ground, washed it clean with water, and handed it to the little cutie, saying: "Eat this."

Due to its novelty, the sugar on the table was completely used up after a large pot of porridge. After the meal, Foucault addressed everyone: "Today, everyone enjoyed the meal very much, but there are some matters that must be clarified. The sweet potatoes absolutely cannot be shared with others; it is not out of stinginess, but because we currently lack the strength. If others find out that we possess something that enhances magical power, they would surely come looking for trouble. As for the sugar, it holds significant commercial value. If we intend to use it outside, we must find a way to address this issue." The sweet potatoes absolutely cannot be shared with others; it is not out of stinginess, but because we currently lack the strength. If others find out that we possess something that enhances magical power, they would surely come looking for trouble. As for the sugar, it holds significant commercial value. If we intend to use it outside, we must find a way to address this issue.

They nodded in agreement, and then Morin took a spoonful of sugar into his mouth, sighing: "Indeed, it is sweet, and it has no other flavor; it is much better than royal honey and beet sugar. Meilan, my dear, you are a genius"

Why does porridge become sweet

Cang nodded and said, "The red fruit is very crisp; its roots and leaves are not edible. In the past, when I couldn't find anything to eat, I would eat this."

Everyone looked at each other, and Dana weakly said: "What people outside say is at most about the Daughter's Workshop. If someone inside asks, just say that the flavor of the pastry ingredients is too strong, masking the fishy taste, or that in the future, we can add a bit of beet powder to the pastries as mentioned in the illustrations. We can discuss the rest later"

Ignoring the seasonings for now, she had just left the barbecue gathering when she spotted something: tea leaves. Yes, that very thing. They grew in a relatively temperate region, but there were only a few sprigs. Upon seeing them, Meilan Sha moved every last one into her ring.

Meilan Sha did not respond, took her own porridge, scooped a piece of the solid into her mouth with a spoon. After finishing, she picked up the clean small spoon from the plate, added a spoonful of sugar into the porridge, put it back, stirred the porridge a few times, and happily began to eat.

Cang quickly finished eating and said, "It's really delicious. It turns out that cooked food tastes better than raw."

Item 4: A large pile of spices

Eat

I do not understand

Little Meilan, did you cook this? Could you please tell Grandpa Fu what those yellow chunks in the porridge are? If possible, could you also let me know what those small white granules on the table are?

Meilan glanced at it oddly and said, "Very good, very powerful." She turned back to continue digging, "You will soon know the use of this; let me dig a little more first."

"I am back." The first thing Meilansha did upon returning home was to shout at the top of her lungs, and then four people rushed out of the house. Meilansha felt a bit exasperated; they indeed had not taken a break. Fortunately, she had returned early. However, it was already past 2:00 AM.

Meilan Sha looked at the little one's paws, nodded, and pointed to some paths nearby: "You can put all the sweet potatoes I dug out into your bracelet. On the other side, just like this, plant them in the realm of life of my ring and leave. " If I let it help dig, the sweet potatoes would spoil, and she also couldn't bear to let the little one's tiny paws dig in the soil

Foucault quietly said to Melantha, "It's fine, everyone is tired now, let's go back and sleep. We can discuss the rest tomorrow"

Really

Meilan Sha and the little cutie stood up and stretched, finally finishing their work

The little darling had the first and second times, so she simply had more, picking up the sweet potato to eat

Cang nodded and said with a bitter smile: "Not only do I lack magical power, but I also do not possess even the instinctive attack techniques." A true waste of resources in the legend.

Alright, I will try to come out tomorrow

The little darling nodded and began to stuff items into its bracelet. Since every member of the Meilan family, consisting of five people, had their desired storage items, the little darling, being one of the family members, naturally could not be left out. Moreover, it wanted one for itself. Therefore, Meilan crafted a comfortable bracelet that adhered to the skin and could grow larger as the body developed. Initially, she intended to make a collar, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was inappropriate; after all, the little darling was not a domesticated pet, so she decided against it.

Has there been any change in magical power? I remember that some time-travel novels mentioned that sweet potatoes can increase magical power.

What is this? Can it be eaten? The little cutie asked while looking at the red, fast-growing object on the ground that had roots and leaves.

Item 3: Tea. Brew tea for the family. By the way, since there are flowers, one can also brew flower tea, which not only tastes good but also has beauty and skin-nourishing benefits

The honey from the emperor bee is quite rich, and the sweetness of the beet has a slightly fishy taste. Therefore, for Meilan Sha, the truly delicious sweetness is the sugar extracted from sugarcane

Meilansha thought for a moment and said, "I understand, sweet potatoes should be useful, but they need to be cooked. Right now, you are cultivating your demon power, so the effect is not obvious. You should take some back and let your mother try it." After saying this, she laughed again, "But even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, sweet potatoes are really delicious."

Cang and Meilansha exchanged glances. "You have no magic?" This was Meilansha's remark.

Item 1: Flowers. First, they should be placed in the home, and then in the Daughter's Workshop. A variety of flowers can instantly transform a lifeless space into one full of vitality. Moreover, both their home and the Daughter's Workshop are inherently beautiful; adding some flowers is truly the finishing touch. It has been decided that she will create a picturesque corner in the Daughter's Workshop. As the flowers bloom, the butterflies chase, and the ladies of the Daughter's Workshop can pursue the butterflies.

The little cutie tilted its head and glanced at Meilan Sha, then looked at the sweet potato, deciding to obey its master's command and eat it. It finished it off in just a few bites

However, this is very familiar to Meilan Sha. Why? Let us not forget the reason why she and Dana were expelled from the Earl of Daren's residence. It was due to the Corrupted Demon Body. It can also be referred to as her worthless constitution.

A person and an animal squatted on the ground, engaging in a new round of excavation

"Come, my dear, have another taste," the witch seduced.

After saying goodbye, Meilan Sha took the little cutie home. Cang looked at his little pointy one and said, "Little Pointy, they are quite interesting, aren't they"

It is done, now I can go home, tonight has truly been a great harvest

The little treasure at home has returned, and the feeling of worry has dissipated. Everyone feels drowsy at home and is heading to their rooms to sleep

Meilan Shao, could she have been deceived? Picking up a sweet potato again, she turned it, and the sweet potato was cooked.

It seems that this is the only way now, helplessly. Everyone present has realized that ever since the birth of this child, Meilan Sha, their family has been living in a web of lies

Meilan Sha Mo, "Yes, I have black hair and black eyes, and I am an outlier in the Western Continent"

In the past, I was also called a waste by others. They said I was the legendary Devouring Body. I never expected to encounter you now; what a coincidence it is

It claims to have become stronger

The little cutie nodded honestly, "Aow aow aow aow ... ..." Translation: It feels like the demonic power has solidified a bit, but not significantly

Meilan turned around and said with a smile, "Alright, we won't go anywhere else tonight, just stay here. We'll come back another day. Ah, by the way." She took out a sweet potato, which was cooked, and handed it to Cang, saying, "Give it a try."

Beetroot, which is a sweet vegetable, can be dried and ground into powder for use. Most people use this, and even the Meilan family is no exception. In this Yaba City, only the city lord's family and a handful of nobles and merchants can truly afford royal honey.

Then she discovered something similar to pepper, followed by reeds and mint. The most astonishing thing was that she even saw sugarcane. What a large expanse of sugarcane forest! What can sugarcane be used for? For sugar production, and it can also be eaten as fruit during leisure time. With such a vast area left unattended, Meilan Sha adhered to her principle of not letting any treasure go to waste and collected more than half into her ring, while the remaining portion was left to grow naturally, serving to beautify the environment. The current bewildering forest resembled her backyard; she certainly could not destroy her own garden.

Everything indicates that they are still too weak, still too weak compared to the books

Item 2: Sugarcane. It is pressed to extract sugar, which is used to make pastries. The sweetness of this world comes from two sources: bees and a plant called sugar beet. The bees are royal bees, and they are rarely domesticated because no one dares to raise them; they are not only poisonous but also extremely ferocious. Each time they attack, they do so in swarms, and anyone who enters their territory should be prepared to be attacked. Those who raise royal bees are generally large merchants or noble families, as long as they have strong military power at their disposal. There is also another place to obtain honey from royal bees, which is in the Mysterious Forest, where royal bees are found. Many buyers in the market seek it, and there are adventurers who are not afraid of death willing to venture in.

I am here to help you

Cang gazed at Meilan Sha with a suddenly intense look, which, after a moment, seemed to be extinguished as if it had been burned. With a profound meaning, Cang asked Meilan Sha: "You will come back, right?"

Meilansha elegantly tossed her hair with her right hand and proudly declared: "That is because I am a genius among geniuses, capable of transforming waste into treasure. There are no true wastes in this world; it all depends on whether you know how to develop yourself"

Squatting on the ground and working diligently, Meilan Sha held a small shovel that had appeared out of nowhere, replying without looking up: "This is an essential artifact for traversing: sweet potato, which you may also refer to as yam."

Meilan Sha also thought that finding someone familiar with the terrain would definitely be better than wandering around aimlessly by herself

Several people began to speak, each contributing their thoughts in turn

Others followed suit. "I didn't expect this yellow block to be quite tasty; it's a bit powdery, not bad."

"Have you finished?" The voice of Cang sounded from behind.

Meilan Sha turned to look at the warehouse and asked, "Have you eaten this?"

Meilansha blinked and asked, "Don't you feel anything else?"

Meilan Sha put down her chopsticks and smiled at her family, saying: "I would like to formally introduce to you all this thing you refer to as 'kuai kuai', known as sweet potato. It is delicious, isn't it? But it is even more useful. I know it can enhance magical power, though I am not sure if it can improve fighting spirit. This small white granule is called sugar, which is a common seasoning. However, it is sweet, much more useful than that royal honey. You don't feel greasy or fishy in your mouth right now, do you?"

The little cutie shook its head, "Aow aow aow aow ... ..." Translation: Although this thing is hard like a book, it tastes quite good; however, I still prefer eating meat

Cang looked at the showy Meilan Sha with her dark eyes and finally blurted out, "Do you also count as an anomaly?"

"Baby, are you okay?" The first to speak was Dana, who was also the fastest to rush in, likely having never returned to her room at all

Meilansha is wandering in the Enchanted Forest with her little companion. The resources here are truly abundant, as the magical beasts cannot utilize them. Therefore, for Meilansha, who is considered an anomaly among humans, this place is nothing short of a treasure trove

The little尖尖 nodded, "Hiss hiss. We will meet again."

The little cutie nodded, "Aow aow aow aow ... ..." Translation: A bountiful harvest. For it, having a hearty meal of roasted meat is a bountiful harvest.

Meilan's movements paused for a moment as she turned to look at the adorable little one squatting beside her and said, "Do you have magical powers?"

Cang jumped over and ran over, looking at the things on the ground, and asked in confusion: "What do you want the red fruits for?"

The little one nodded. Although she practiced the technique for cultivating demons, the world here is rather peculiar. The demonic power cultivated through this technique feels somewhat similar to magical power, but it is slightly more powerful than magic. It can also be used in the same way as before with magical power.

Ah, I finally found both of you. Meilan Sha, what are you doing?" Cang and its little pointy tip, after a chase, finally found Meilan Sha.

Meilan Sha took out another roasted one and tossed it into the little尖尖's mouth, after which the latter began to make a commotion after finishing it

"This is indeed quite delicious, but you don't need to dig in so much, do you?" Cang looked at Meilansha and Xiaokeai with a puzzled expression.

Has the magic changed? A gaze filled with hope

The little cutie innocently blinks her eyes

I am treasure hunting

Meilan Sha turned around in front of the beautiful person and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, I'm fine. I knew you would definitely be worried, so I hurried back." This time, she wanted them to know that she was strong and that it was fine, making it much easier for her next outing, and they wouldn't have to worry.

On the second day, Meilan Sha got up at dawn and took out the items from the rings she had organized the night before. She had hardly slept at all, using her spiritual awareness to see what she had obtained and which items could be utilized now

Meilansha nodded, indicating that she had not yet dug up enough treasures and would definitely return
