The Abyss World, the Kemono Girl Encyclopedia Project!

I can go to Anju City again tomorrow to check out information about refrigerated box materials. It would be best if they sold them.

And there's that cow lady too....

As for the Giant Bone Tribe, Wang Yan planned to talk to Zhuo Hua properly after returning from Anju City. Although his strength was not great at the moment, he could still go to the Giant Bone Tribe to check things out first.

Wang Yan thought for a moment, arranged his upcoming schedule, and patted NEET on the shoulder with great satisfaction, saying to him:

"Very good, I'm very satisfied, it's a good dog."

Nitt knelt on the ground, his head bowed low, looking just like an old dog. His two tentacles drooped down, as if he were just about to grow a tail and bark.

"Keep up the good work, and you'll definitely get promoted in the future."

Wang Yan stood up, hands behind his back. NEET felt like he'd been granted a pardon, but just as he tried to get up, he felt a chill on his neck. He got up, but why was his head banging against the ground...?

Oh, so he was beheaded.

Look at the mess this has made.

Wang Yan didn't even glance at it before kicking the headless corpse away.

From the very beginning, Wang Yan had no intention of letting this old guy live; he just wanted to get information out of him.

Wang Yan felt uneasy about taking this old guy as a slave. He had already extracted some information from him, so there was no point in keeping him around. It would be better to just kill him.

These past few nights, because Wang Yan had been occupying the iron pot, the family couldn't even cook. So Wang Yan had to find another one and give it to Hua Yue.

For some reason, Hua Yue seems to be very interested in cooking. Wang Yan would teach her a few stir-fries from time to time. Now the girl's cooking skills are no less than his, and she is becoming more and more familiar with the control of various seasonings.

Tonight, You Li brought back two pheasants. Wang Yan was thinking of making a poached chicken dish. Now that the system can produce seasonings like chili peppers and garlic, it shouldn't be too difficult to make it.

Everyone has been busy building houses lately, and they're all exhausted every day. Wang Yan wanted to prepare a good meal to treat everyone.

You Li watched Wang Yan blanch the chicken, not just blindly observing, but also asking her own questions. She followed Wang Yan's steps, and before long, a large bowl of poached chicken drizzled with chili oil and minced garlic was ready.

The little cat girl's eyes sparkled. Clearly, the process of cooking made her happier than the delicious food itself. Looking at the bowl of colorful, fragrant, and appetizing food before her, she couldn't help but say:

"Wang Yan, you're amazing, meow! Hua Yue never knew cooking could be this delicious, meow!"

Wang Yan proudly put his hands on his hips, picked up a piece of chicken and tasted it. Sure enough, it tasted pretty good. Then he pulled out a chicken leg and stuffed it into Hua Yue's mouth, almost making her drool.

"This is nothing. A true master can create incredibly delicious meals even with the most basic ingredients, and can even make vegetarian dishes taste like meat!"

The little cat girl chewed on a chicken leg, her lips glistening with red chili oil. A big question swirled in her little head: Making vegetarian food taste like meat? So hard to imagine…

"Wang Yan, I heard you're going to Anju City tomorrow, meow? Can I go with you then, meow?"

Wang Yan certainly wouldn't refuse her, but he was a little curious as to why Hua Yue suddenly wanted to go to Anju City.

"Hmm... Of course, no problem. But why did you suddenly decide to go to Anju City with me? Do you want to go there for a visit?"

Hua Yue swallowed hard, wiped her mouth, shook her head and said:

"No, it's not meow! I just heard you say that some people sell their homemade food, and I want to see what they're like!"

Wang Yan understood what she meant. She was curious about how others did things besides him and wanted to go to other restaurants to see if she could learn a few tricks from them.

"Then you have to get up early tomorrow, okay? Don't sleep in. I'll wake you up, and we'll go early so we can maybe shop a little longer."

Hua Yue was very excited and was about to hug Wang Yan's neck and kiss his face when she suddenly realized that her hands and mouth were covered in grease. She laughed awkwardly and could only put her cat head into Wang Yan's arms and rub against him affectionately, making a meowing sound involuntarily.

Today, Wang Yan and Hua Yue cooked together and prepared a lot of dishes. Wang Yan even called over the five little mouse employees. Everyone had a good meal. If everyone works hard, the house will be built in less than a month.

When everyone has their own bedroom, things will be more convenient. As for what will be more convenient, don't ask, it's hard to say.

After being kissed by You Li and Ying Luo for half the night, Wang Yan got up early the next day. Sure enough, he couldn't trust the lazy cat's words. He was about to leave when Hua Yue was still fast asleep, curled up. Wang Yan felt it was necessary to use some special methods to wake her up.

"Meow—!!"

Hua Yue was like a cat with its fur standing on end. One second she was fast asleep, and the next she almost hissed at Wang Yan in a fit of rage. But being a powerful cat, Hua Yue swallowed the hiss that was about to escape her lips and said angrily:

"Wang Yan, what are you doing, meow!"

Wang Yan scratched his face awkwardly. He knew he had acted impulsively; he had meant to shake her awake, but for some reason, his hand had inexplicably grabbed the black cat's tail and instinctively tugged at it...

All I can say is that it doesn't even breathe in air; Huayue is truly an exceptionally fine animal.

He quickly apologized to Huayue, and the little cat girl reluctantly forgave him, pouting. After all, it was indeed her fault for sleeping in late, and she had to get up early today.

After tidying up a bit, Wang Yan packed all the woven coarse cotton cloth, tanned animal hides, and other items such as dried fruit and dried meat into the warehouse, taking this opportunity to clear out the family's inventory.

This was the first time the catgirl had ridden the Rainbow Shark. However, Huayue seemed to be afraid of heights. She hadn't been flying for long when her face turned dark. Wang Yan had no choice but to hold her face to face in his arms, with one arm around her and the other hand holding the fin. However, this action was a little unseemly.

It wasn't until dusk that Wang Yan finally saw the outline of Anju City. After several months, he had finally returned to this town.

Hua Yue's steps were still a little unsteady, so Wang Yan had to pull her to rest for a while at the edge of the harbor. It took them a long time to recover.

"If you're tired, how about I carry you on my back for a while?"

(Many readers feel the story has become a bit bland, but Tree Boy is here to fix that. The underlying plot has been developed enough, and now we're about to enter the conflict phase and things will get interesting. You can look forward to it!)
