749 You’ll Only Have the Strength To Lose Weight After Eating

Although the heaven-devouring python was an omnivore and could eat anything, he was also very picky. What was so delicious about bamboo, which tasted like wood?!

He cast sympathetic gazes at Ni Mei and Ni Ya.

They actually liked to eat such things. These two siblings had probably never eaten anything good. How pitiful!

Huanhuan roughly explained her experience of obtaining dragon blood.

“After I drink the dragon blood, I can increase my strength for a short period of time, but there will be aftereffects. It’ll become very small, like now.”

Ni Mei touched the flesh on her stomach with envy. “I want to be as small as you too.”

However, Huanhuan said, “If you’re as young as me, you won’t be able to mate with a male. In fact, you won’t even be able to find a mate.”

Ni Mei immediately changed her mind.

“That won’t do! I still have to mate with Ah Luo. I’d better not shrink.”

Huanhuan smiled and teased her, “You still like Ah Luo?”

“Yes.” Ni Mei held her face with a longing gaze. “My greatest wish in life is to become mates with Ah Luo and give birth to many, many tiger cubs for him.”

“May your wish come true.”

By the time the two of them were done, Ni Ya had almost finished eating all the bamboo on the table.

Ni Mei was so angry that she shouted, “You should leave some for me, you bastard!”

She immediately grabbed the bamboo and ate ten sticks in one go before reluctantly stopping.

Ni Mei touched her round face and said reservedly, “I can’t eat anymore. I’m going to lose weight. When I lose weight, I’ll be able to mate with Ah Luo.”

Ni Ya laughed until he was out of breath. “If you really want to lose weight, you should only eat one stick of bamboo a day. You want to lose weight after eating so much? Dream on!”

The angry Ni Mei raised her hand and slapped the back of his head. “If you continue to spout nonsense, everything I promised you will be void!”

At this, Ni Ya immediately stopped laughing.

Even after being hit by his sister, he still picked up the bamboo without complaint and held it in front of her with both hands. “Sister, I think your figure is perfect. You can eat ten more!”

“Hmph, don’t think I can forgive you for your rudeness just now just because you said something nice!”

Despite her words, Ni Mei took the bamboo, stuffed it into her mouth, and began to chew again.

It couldn’t be helped. Huanhuan’s bamboo was too delicious. She couldn’t control herself at all!

Seeing that they liked to eat bamboo, Huanhuan took out a lot of bamboo from her space and said, “I knew I would see you, so I specially brought over more bamboo and bamboo shoots. Stay for lunch. Bai Di will make a stew with fresh bamboo shoots.”

Ni Mei swallowed. “It sounds super delicious!”

Ni Ya reminded her weakly, “Don’t you have to lose weight…”

Ni Mei waved her hand heroically. “I won’t go on a diet today. I’ll do it tomorrow!”

“I think at this rate, you’ll probably never lose weight.”

Ni Mei defended herself righteously. “I have to eat before I have the strength to lose weight!”

“…”

Ni Ya was speechless.

Huanhuan smiled and said, “Actually, the best way to lose weight is to control your diet appropriately and exercise every day.”

As he ate, Ni Ya said, “My sister doesn’t sit as long as she can lie down. She doesn’t stand when she can sit. With her laziness…”

He noticed that his sister was glaring at him again, so he immediately changed the tone of his words. “With her quiet and introverted personality, she doesn’t like exercising much.”

Ni Mei smiled shyly and raised her hand to pat her brother’s back twice. “You use the words quiet and introverted well. Keep it up.”

Ni Ya almost vomited blood.

But he was strong enough to remain seated. “Thank you for your praise, Sister. I’ll continue to work hard.”

Huanhuan thought for a moment. “Why don’t I teach you yoga?”

“What’s yoga? Will it be difficult?” Ni Mei hesitated.

“It won’t be difficult. You can do it at home, and it’ll make your body toned and beautiful. It suits you.”

Ni Mei’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”

“If you have nothing else to do now, why don’t I start teaching you now?”

Ni Mei quickly nodded. “Yes, yes!”

Huanhuan got someone to spread a thick animal hide blanket on the floor and called Ni Mei to lie down with her.

“The first step in yoga is to relax…”

Ni Ya sat beside her, chewing bamboo. He saw his sister follow Huanhuan in assuming various strange poses.

Those poses were cute, but Ni Mei looked especially comical.

Several times, Ni Ya couldn’t help but chuckle, causing Ni Mei to glare at him. “Get out!”

Ni Ya immediately apologized. “I’m sorry. I definitely won’t laugh again. Continue practicing.”

“If you laugh at me again, you can forget about everything you begged me for previously!”

Ni Ya shut his mouth and promised that he would never make another sound.

This was the second time Huanhuan had heard Ni Mei say such a thing. It seemed that Ni Ya needed Ni Mei’s help, but no one knew what he was asking for. In any case, these were private matters between the siblings and had nothing to do with Huanhuan.

She quickly put this small matter behind her and continued to focus on teaching Ni Mei to pose.

After practicing for about an hour, Ni Mei was exhausted.

She lay on the blanket and panted heavily. “I clearly don’t feel like I’ve exercised much. Why am I so tired?!”

Huanhuan was also sweating.

As she wiped her sweat, she said, “It’s because you haven’t exercised for a long time.”

“Can yoga really help me lose weight?”

“If you can persevere for a long time and control your diet appropriately, I’ll get you some medicine to nourish your body later. You’ll slowly lose weight in the future.”

Huanhuan’s words gave Ni Mei hope of losing weight.

She got up and clenched her fists. “I’ll definitely lose weight!”

“Go for it!”

At this moment, Bai Di was bidding farewell to Bai Luo.

Bai Luo was very surprised. “You’re going back tomorrow?”

Bai Di said, “Yes.”

“Can’t you stay for a few more days? It’s rare for us brothers to meet.”

“Shuang Yun is the only one handling a lot of things at home. He needs my help.”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Bai Luo knew that it was useless to persuade him. He could only give up. “What about Big White and Little White? Are they going back with you?”

“They’ve all grown up and have their own ideas. I’ll ask them for their opinion later. It’ll naturally be best if they’re willing to go back with us. If not…”

Bai Di paused, his tone becoming subtle. “If they refuse to go back, I’ll have to tie them up.”
