Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 199 The 199th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

The main reason was that none of the three knew what kind of toxins were in Yulan's bones, so Qingqi simply tried every disinfection method she could think of.

After completing the infrasound disinfection, Qingqi transferred her abilities into Li Xingyu's hands.

Li Xingyu had no bad feeling and went with Qingqi.

Che was also multitasking, ensuring that there were no other changes in Yulan's bones while keeping an eye on Li Xingyu and Qingqi, and disinfecting himself.

In the mental sea that Li Xingyu himself couldn't see, on the system screen in front of Qingyao and Hanqing, rows of blue text formed data that left them speechless:

"The bones of the magnolia are the source of its fragrance and the origin of its name. Since the beginning of records, the flesh of the magnolia has been an excellent source of nutrition."

Later, people accidentally discovered the effects of its bones—a natural and harmless aphrodisiac.

It should also be noted that some of the components of magnolia bone are toxic substances that are very difficult to detect and can only be detected by separating the bone from the flesh.

However, the toxins in the magnolia bone are neutralized by other substances it contains, so ingesting it will not harm the human body. Instead, after reaching a certain amount, it can produce arousal of natural sexual desire in living beings.

The main benefits of magnolia bone therapy are for adults and minors in the third stage of growth.

It will not have any effect on minors in the first and second stages of growth, but it can supplement some elements and nutrients that the body lacks.

Note that consuming bones and meat together will not produce an aphrodisiac effect. You need to take magnolia bone alone and in a certain quantity. The effect varies from person to person.

Note that direct skin contact with the magnolia bone will not have any effect; it will only be effective if ingested directly. However, considering individual differences, direct contact with the magnolia bone is not recommended.

'Qingyao? Hanqing? Have you found any relevant information? Why did you stop halfway through your sentence?' Qingyao and Hanqing were brought back from their wandering thoughts by Li Xingyu's words, and they exchanged a subtle and complicated glance.

"Ahem, Xiao Xingyu, we've finished organizing the data. Now we have some good news and some news that's a bit off." Qingyao and Hanqing looked at each other in silence for a while before finally speaking to Li Xingyu.

So what if?

Although I feel embarrassed and guilty for leading the cubs astray, it would be truly bad if they accidentally ate the food or if something else happened.

Having lived two lives, Li Xingyu still looked bewildered as Qingyao spoke, but his mind had already subconsciously started thinking she was over 18.

'Shall we hear some good news first?' Li Xingyu's tone was uncertain and somewhat evasive.

"Ahem, although this bone contains a little bit of toxin, it has been neutralized by other substances in the fish bone and will not cause any harm to the body. Xiao Xingyu, you can rest assured." Han Qing coughed twice under Qing Yao's urging gaze and actions, and told Li Xingyu the results of their investigation with a somewhat embarrassed but relieved voice.

"Hmm," Qingyao said, trying to find a way to subtly address the topics that Hanqing was not suited to discuss later.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Qingyao and Hanqing. What's the other piece of news?" Li Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, I'm relieved. Then, the curiosity that had been suppressed by worry resurfaced.

"Um, Xiao Xingyu, be prepared, I'm about to tell you something."

The stalks of this magnolia tree have aphrodisiac effects, but according to our research, they only have an effect when ingested, and in a certain quantity.

The amount will vary depending on each person's physical condition and resistance. Also, it's best to avoid direct skin contact, as this also varies from person to person.

"Furthermore, only when the magnolia's flesh and bones are separated will the bones have an aphrodisiac effect. If it's made into food and you just suck on it, there won't be any problem." Qingyao's words seemed to have an echo and amplification effect. The moment the word "aphrodisiac" came out, Li Xingyu's mind exploded.

WTF?

Say it again? What's the purpose of the magnolia's stalk?

Li Xingyu vaguely focused her gaze on the pink fish bones inside the isolation enclosure.

"Da da da……"

As the kitchen fell silent, footsteps approached from afar.

"Little Feather! Che, Qingqi, are you alright?" Xinghe's voice came from afar, filled with anxiety and worry, but he had not yet appeared in the kitchen.

Yes, it's a very typical case of hearing someone's voice before seeing them.

"Huh? It's nothing, we just disinfected ourselves, don't worry." Li Xingyu was startled by Xinghe's thoughts and voice and responded first.

"Hoo~hoo~hoo, little star, Michael just sent us a message and explained what happened in the personal terminal."

Michael was disinfected by the supervisors, including Tanuki Moon, and they came over immediately.

"I'll take these fish bones to the Alliance Prosecutor's Office with Xinghe. We'll be back in about half an hour." Tian Shu arrived at the kitchen after Xinghe, panting as he explained the arrangements.

Xinghe, who arrived in the kitchen a few steps ahead of Tian Shu, has now scanned the entire kitchen with the consent of Li Xingyu, Qingqi, and Che.

The scan results showed that only Yulan's bones contained an unknown toxin, while Li Xingyu and the others did not show any abnormalities.

This made Xinghe and Tian Shu both breathe a sigh of relief.

Why do I feel like I've breathed a sigh of relief in just this short afternoon?

But what happened was truly nerve-wracking.

"Wait, Tian Shu, don't touch those magnolia bones yet. I think I know what they're for." Li Xingyu quickly stopped Tian Shu as he was about to open the isolation barrier.

"Hmm? Little Feather, do you know?" At this moment, Li Yue and the others also came into the kitchen from outside. It was Michael who asked the question.

Immediately, everyone's attention and gaze were focused on Li Xingyu.

"Hmm, I was just staring at Yulan's bones, and then some strange things popped into my head." As Li Xingyu embellished her story, her ears unconsciously turned red, which gradually spread to her face.

Well, Li Xingyu plans to shift the blame to "inherited memories" once again; the excuse of Si Weier's study can't be used forever.

Since that's the case, let's alternate between the two.

Li Xingyu made up her mind happily.

"Is it 'inherited memories'? This is truly an amazing phenomenon." Before Li Xingyu could even utter the words "inherited memories," Elnis thoughtfully spoke them out for her.

'Elnis, well done. But... why do I still feel a little guilty and uneasy?' Li Xingyu gave Elnis a thumbs up in her mind, and then a faint sense of guilt and unease welled up after lying to her friend.

"Then... Little Feather, what is the function or effect of the magnolia's bones?" Che's voice rang out, filled with doubt and curiosity.

Li Xingyu shook her head, pushing her emotions aside. Thinking about what she was about to say, she couldn't help but lower her head and cover her face with her hands.

"..."

Li Xingyu's voice was so soft it was barely audible. Even though everyone present was a god-level ability user, Qingqi and Xinghe, who were closest to her, couldn't hear what she was saying.

Everyone exchanged bewildered and confused glances, realizing that no one had heard them. Then, looking at Li Xingyu, whose entire face had turned red, they were utterly perplexed.

"Ahem, Little Feather, what did you just say? Can you speak a little louder? Just half the volume you usually speak is fine." Xinghe raised her hand and ruffled Li Xingyu's hair, which had been ruffled a bit by them. Her voice was gentle and persuasive.

Li Xingyu felt the force on her head and felt like she was about to explode.

She was already shy enough being the only girl there, and now they had to bring up the topic of the effects of magnolia bone.

Although she is one of the parties involved, everyone except Xinghe is a minor right now.

How can anyone say that out loud?

Li Xingyu's mind went blank for a moment before she realized what was happening and took several steps back, distancing herself slightly from Xinghe and Qingqi.

Everyone stared at Li Xingyu's actions and Xinghe's hand still raised in mid-air, their expressions bewildered.

“Magnolia bones have aphrodisiac effects.” Li Xingyu knew that her actions just now would cause Xinghe and the others to misunderstand, but she really couldn’t take it anymore.

Waaaaah, why did she have to go through all this? It makes me feel like living alone is actually quite nice.

Li Xingyu's words rang in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

In fact, her voice was less than a third of what she usually speaks, but the content was absolutely explosive.

Xinghe and the others froze, their expressions and thoughts completely blank.

What did they just hear?

……

"Hiss!" Che, who was closest to Yulan's bones, was the first to react. He launched himself forward and moved at a speed almost like teleportation, landing on the stove 1.5 meters away from the cooking counter.

Che's expression was one of fear, embarrassment, and disbelief.

Awakened by Che's commotion, the others' expressions and movements became somewhat uneasy.

However, everyone moved away from the pair of magnolia bones without prior arrangement.

At the same time, they realized why Li Xingyu had just made that move.

On one hand, she felt guilty and embarrassed about her own thoughts, and on the other hand, she felt a deep empathy for Li Xingyu.

After uttering the words "aphrodisiac," Li Xingyu felt fearless. Seeing the expressions and actions of the crowd—terrified, shy, and trying to avoid her—she calmed herself down and began to repeat Qingyao's words to them.

"Ahem, but don't worry too much. It will only have an effect if you consume a certain amount, and it's not recommended to touch the magnolia bone directly."

"Of course, the prerequisite for the Magnolia Bone to work is the separation of bone and flesh, and it only works on minors and adults in the third stage of growth." Li Xingyu spoke rapidly, her gaze darting around, trying to avoid eye contact with the people scattered in the kitchen.

Xinghe and Tianshu were still wondering how to deal with these unorthodox fish bones when they heard Li Xingyu's rapid-fire explanation, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm, Little Feather, so you mean these fish bones?" As the only adult, Xinghe wanted to stay at least 800 meters away from the magnolia bones, so the others were even less willing to let them get close. However, this was a good opportunity for training.

Honestly, Li Xingyu's expression as he looked at Xinghe was one of utter admiration.

Even at this point, he still didn't forget to test her with some things.

Seriously, she cried her eyes out.

Although he was inwardly complaining, Li Xingyu still accepted Xinghe's test: "Contact the Alliance directly to send someone over to take samples for testing. I will write a written report now and submit it to the Alliance personnel later."

The alliance will release the results of its tests on the StarNet.

Xinghe, you and Tian Shu should contact the alliance and make sure you explain things clearly.

Che, please contact Aunt Yu and explain the current situation to her. Also, please remind the residents in the area where the magnolias are distributed to take note.

Others, come and help me out. After I finish writing the report, we'll continue cooking. This has already wasted quite a bit of time.

Don't worry, the effects of the Magnolia Bone are only for adults. Xinghe, Tian Shu, Che, and I will be outside in a moment to receive the Alliance's guests.

Then go to the backyard with Elnes and Cain, and I will assign you tasks.

Before dinner, the three of you will have to stay out of the kitchen for a little while, just in case something unexpected happens.

In interstellar space, the period of childhood is mainly divided into three stages: before full awakening, after full awakening, and after the age of 170.

Li Xingyu quickly calculated in her mind that one period was before the age of 12, one period was from the age of 12 to 15, and the rest was from the age of 15 to the age of 18 when they became adults.

These correspond to physical growth, the beginning of sexual organ development, and the initial formation of sexual organs.

Some strange and unusual pieces of knowledge and common sense.

In other words, besides Xinghe, an adult, Elnis and Cain are also within the range where the effect will occur.

Just now, apart from Xinghe, the distance between Elnis and Cain and Yulan Bone was the farthest distance within the kitchen area.

The three of them are still huddled together.

The effect is truly terrifying.

"Okay, then we'll leave the kitchen first. We'll let you know in the group chat if anything happens." After listening to what Li Xingyu said, Xinghe, Cain, and Elnis quickly left the kitchen with a sigh of relief.

Waaaaah, the kitchen is so scary these days! /Vampires/Dragons, they won't step into the kitchen again until Little Feather comes along.

After Xinghe and the others left the kitchen, they realized that they seemed to have forgotten to ask Li Xingyu what solutions were available if she was affected by the Magnolia Bone.

Hopefully it won't be too difficult, otherwise...

That's why they say older people have more experience.

Moreover, the education Xinghe and his group received, along with their usual environment, gave them a keen political sense.

Li Xingyu has now realized what's going on. Although she is still young, she has read a lot of novels and has a good ability to observe the big picture.

This immediately coincided with Xinghe and the others' thoughts, and Li Xingyu was currently asking Qingyao in his mind.
