Chapter 21: Meat processing
"Junior Brother, you done yet?"
"Ahh, not yet!"
They had divided the beast into two halves for processing: one for Langtian, and one for Yue Ling.
Naturally, Yue Ling moved much faster and more efficiently. After all, she’d been doing this kind of work for over a decade. Her hands were steady and practiced, her movements swift and precise.
Before Langtian could even finish one-fifth of his portion, she was already wrapping up her half.
Processing a demonic beast wasn’t easy. It was a meticulous task: draining the blood before it could taint the meat, carefully skinning the thick hide, separating muscles and tendons from bone, and extracting organs with precision to preserve their alchemical properties. Even the bones had to be cleaned and sorted.
Once she was done, Yue Ling strolled over to check on her junior brother.
"Wow," she said with a light laugh, "you’re actually doing really well for your first time!"
"Hehe," Langtian grinned sheepishly, showing his teeth. "But I’m still way slower than you..."
"Don’t worry," Yue Ling smiled warmly. "You’ll be as good as me in no time."
