Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1459

Lilly stared hungrily at the large chunks of shrimp, which were even bigger than a beef shank. Her stomach growled in protest.

"Oh my goodness! This isn't just any ordinary shrimp! It's king crab!"

She wanted to peel off the shrimp's shell and toss the meat into the pot. Unfortunately, the crustacean's shell was as hard as steel, making it difficult to peel by hand. To make matters worse, she didn't have the strength to pull it apart barehanded.

So, she decided to grill it with the shell on, creating a seafood barbecue!

Soon, the shell turned red as the tender meat inside started to sizzle and bubble with oil.

Then, she sprinkled some secret seasoning on it!

The fragrance immediately filled the entire cave as time passed.

Lilly's eyes sparkled as she looked at the meat. "Wow! It smells so good!"

When she saw that the shrimp was probably cooked, she quickly cut off a small piece with a knife and placed it in her mouth, savoring it.

"It's delicious!" Her eyes lit up even more.

Squeaky and Speedy, who had never seen such a scene, looked on in astonishment.

Their young master was too scary. She was so fierce!

Nonetheless, they didn't hesitate to follow suit and took a tentative bite. Then, they couldn't help but let out a moan of joy.

This was so delicious!

Lilly exclaimed, "By the way… I don't mean to be rude, but aren't both of you spirits? Can you actually taste this?"

The small ghost beast hastily expressed that there was nothing they couldn't eat! Didn't the young master's allies eat these too? So, why couldn't it do the same?

Speedy, who had never eaten meat before, flew around with his two legs in a frenzy, saying, "There's nothing we can't eat!"

Lilly thought for a moment and figured this wasn't anything out of the ordinary. After all, there were no ghosts who couldn't eat what she made. This skill was something others just didn't possess.

Nonetheless, she still had another question she needed answered. "Can ghost beasts also get married and have children?"

She thought it wouldn't be possible!

The small ghost beast pondered for a moment and indicated that it also didn't quite understand the details.

However, the more advanced ghost beasts were known to be different from ordinary ones. Ghost beasts like them, who could communicate in the language of a hundred beasts, were extraordinary in themselves!

Lilly nodded as she answered, "I see. Then, why do you call yourselves 'Squeaky'?"

The small ghost beast explained that mice were a very intelligent type of beast and were highly regarded by some ghost beasts.

The totem of the Flame Beast was a mouse.

The small ghost beast squeaked proudly, "Others even say that mice are the ancestors of humans!"

Lilly could only stare at the small ghost beast in bafflement.

Suddenly, she recalled what Ivan had said. He told her that mice had 40 pairs of chromosomes while humans had 42 pairs. Humans and mice both have over 30,000 genes, making them at least 80% identical in terms of genetics.

"So… Are you guys mice or something else entirely?" Lilly was still rather confused.

The small ghost beast squeaked in response, "I've got no idea!"

Oh, for the love of… Ugh. You know what? There's no point thinking about this. They had good food and a nice shelter to stay. Besides, the world was filled with mysterious beings like ghosts, demonic beasts, and even dragons. Why should she bother herself with the nitty-gritty details?

Lilly devoured the Stinger's body in no time.

Although it was huge in life, it actually shrank after it was roasted. From Lilly's perspective, it wasn't all that big.

She licked her fingers, still hungry for more. Hence, she suggested, "Why don't we catch another one?"

The small ghost beast and Speedy, who had thought of Lilly as monstrous prior to this, didn't hesitate to nod vigorously.

Meanwhile, the Flame Beasts and the Stingers were locked in a fierce battle. Their skirmish was gory as blood and flesh flew everywhere.

A dark light flashed before them, and Lilly appeared.
