I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 123 Precious Insect Honey

"Leyou, do you have any empty cups here? Lei Xiu gave us some insect honey, let's try some together."

Raising the cup in his hand, Lezhi gestured and shook it at Leyou.

Le You, who had already learned from Qing Ze about Lei Xiu's great achievements in the forest today, looked at the insect honey in Le Zhi's hand with a complicated expression.

This was the umpteenth time today that he had opened his mouth to speak, only to find himself at a loss for words.

"...Here, for you."

First, take out the empty cup and hand it to Lezhi. Watching Lezhi carefree and laughingly sharing the insect honey, Leyou held back for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak up.

"Lezhi, did Lei Xiu tell you where this insect honey and that insect egg came from?"

"He said he destroyed the nest of roundworms, what happened?"

"What else?" Le You rolled her eyes, mentally deciding to forgive Le Zhi, this naive girl, and Lei Xiu, who knew Le Zhi knew nothing and still didn't explain things to him.

Watching Lezhi generously scoop a large spoonful of insect honey into each cup, Leyou patted his chest to calm himself down, and then continued with encouragement from Qingze, Qingping, and Leting.

"Did he tell you that there were hundreds or even thousands of round-tailed worms in that nest, and each one was extremely powerful, making the battle no less difficult than the day we were surrounded by the worm army?"

Even in terms of being difficult to deal with, the round-tailed beetle is one of the most difficult to deal with among the Zerg, while the hard beetle that surrounded them that day was of average strength, it could only fly and had nothing else.

Roundtail worms are known for being highly trained, intelligent, and tactically adept; they also hold grudges.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, when the various tribes of the tree spirits encounter the round-tailed worm, they will make sufficient preparations before taking collective action to exterminate it.

In a situation like today, Lei Xiu single-handedly stormed a swarm of round-tailed worms, not only winning but also eliminating them completely. This achievement is truly worthy of being recorded in military history.

However, he did this only to collect ingredients for Lezhi. Because of the troublesome nature of the round-tailed worms, although their eggs are considered the most delicious among the eggs of Jormungand, not many people would actively provoke them.

Basically, the insect eggs are hunted collectively within the clan and then distributed according to merit. Someone like Lei Xiu, who collects an entire nest of insect eggs by himself, can only be admired and called a big shot.

Qingze and Qingping were hunting other prey when they discovered Lei Xiu had already begun cleaning up the battlefield. They could only make a rough judgment about Lei Xiu's combat strength based on the horrific scene.

When they returned and paired up with Leyou, they realized that Lei Xiu was a true master, and Leyou gained a new understanding of Lei Xiu's combat strength.

Seeing that Lezhi had finally gotten what he wanted, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, Leyou didn't let him off the hook and continued, "And Lei Xiu did all of this himself. Qingze and Qingping didn't help at all, right?"

To confirm that she wasn't exaggerating, Leyou pulled the composed Qingping aside and explained that she hadn't made any false claims.

“That’s right.” Nodding under Lezhi’s gaze, Qingping said, “When we arrived, Lei Xiu had already taken care of the whole nest of round-tailed worms and was collecting their honey. We just lent a hand, helping to take out the eggs, and that’s all.”

Qingping shrugged, a hint of regret in her voice. It was a pity she missed it; if she could have witnessed Lei Xiu's attack firsthand, the trip would have been worthwhile.

"Oh, I see. Lei Xiu didn't tell me this. If we follow your logic, then this insect honey and insect egg must be very rare."

Having finally grasped the key point Leyou wanted to convey, Lezhi paused in his stirring motion.

“That’s right.” Leyou patted Lezhi’s shoulder with satisfaction after making a firm conclusion. “I’ve only eaten this thing twice in all my years, and the insect eggs too, I’ve only eaten them once.”

That's why Leyou felt guilty when he saw Lezhi so generously sharing the precious insect honey with them, even though he really wanted to eat it.

"Ah, this..." Lei Xiu hadn't told him either. Realizing that he was being a bit generous with other people's money, Le Zhi hesitated and stopped what he was doing.

"It's alright." Before Lezhi could hesitate and come to a conclusion, Lei Xiu, who had quickly arrived after noticing the situation, grasped Lezhi's hand holding the spoon and took over the stirring.

"This was originally meant for Zhizhi, and he can give it to whomever he wants."

Lei Xiu quickly stirred the honey water until it was evenly mixed, and then distributed the cups to everyone present.

"Thank you." Now, even Le Ting, who was by the stove, wasn't forgotten. She thanked him softly and took the cup.

Sipping a mouthful of honey water, the rich, sweet aroma slid into my chest, dispelling the restlessness that Le Ting felt from the steam.

Setting down her cup, Le Ting looked around and chuckled, "Then thank you for your hospitality, Le Zhi. Alright, Le You, the ingredients Qing Ze and Qing Ping have chosen are ready. Go and season them. Le Zhi and Lei Xiu, you two quickly choose what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you."

Upon hearing that dinner could be served, everyone immediately sprang into action. Leyou no longer fussed over how rare the honey water in his hand was; since it had already been handed to him, he wasn't going to take it back.

Moreover, he said that just now to let Lezhi know how precious the things in his hands are, which is the responsibility that Lechu entrusted to him.

"Okay, Qingze and Qingping, what flavor do you two want? Do you want chili?"

"Yes, yes, I want more." This was Qingze, who had become completely addicted to the unique experience brought by spiciness.

"I'd like it mildly spicy, please." Qingping was relatively restrained. She used to have a milder palate, and although she likes spicy food now, she still can't handle eating too much spicy food at once.

Lezhi, who was standing nearby, was pulled by Lei Xiu to the pool to choose ingredients. He puffed out his cheeks and glanced at Lei Xiu, "Why didn't you say that the insect honey was so rare?"

After glancing at the furball standing on the table, sipping the honey water in its cup, Lezhi finally understood why even the furball was so obsessed with this insect honey; it probably had a hard time getting it normally.

“It’s alright, it’s not difficult for me.” Lei Xiu replied casually, “Zhizhi, don’t worry too much. I have plenty here. If it’s not enough, I can get more. Just eat.”

"What are you saying? I can rely on myself too, okay?" Lezhi retorted to Lei Xiu in an annoyed tone.

“You earned this all by yourself.” Lei Xiu didn’t stop because of Le Zhi’s attitude. “You’ve forgotten that you saved my life. What’s a little food for you? You deserve it.”

Finally understanding what Lei Xiu had been building up to for so long, Le Zhi was stunned for a moment. Lei Xiu had lived with him for so long that he had almost forgotten that Lei Xiu's original intention was to repay a debt of gratitude.

Lezhi ate dinner in a thoughtful manner, and even after returning to his residence with Lei Xiu, he still hadn't come to a conclusion.

There were two people waiting at the entrance of their residence. Upon closer inspection, they were Leshan and a member of the Windwalker tribe.

"Lezhi, I reckon you guys should be back around now," Leshan said, also greeting Qingze and the others.

"Lezhi, if you have something else to do, we'll be going now. See you tomorrow."

Seeing that Leshan and the others had something to do, Leyou, with great tact, pulled Leting aside to say goodbye and ran back to their residence.

Qingze and Qingping nodded to Leshan and the person Lezhi didn't recognize before taking their leave.

After everyone else had left, Leshan continued, "As I told you yesterday, the first patient is ready. Let's go now."

Upon seeing Leshan, Lezhi guessed it was about the Shadow Disease. With so much happening today, he had almost forgotten about it, and quickly agreed, "Okay, can Lei Xiu come along?"

"Even if I said no, he probably wouldn't agree." Le Shan glanced at Lei Xiu and was met with only an expressionless, icy face.
