Chapter 40 – Locked and captured

 

Jian Luo was stunned stupid.

 

Lu Shifeng gave him a deep look: “Where’s the medicine?”

 

“Er… medicine?” Jian Luo held the empty bowl in his hand, and felt a little sad in his heart: “Just, I just finished the medicine.”

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: “You finished drinking it?”

 

The man repeated meaningfully, his tone extended. The end of his words were lengthened, and the sound of it made his heart tremble.

 

Jian Luo bit the bullet: “En, I’ve finished drinking it.”

 

The corners of Lu Shifeng’s mouth curled up: “You drank it in the bathroom?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo nodded profusely: “Yes.”

 

Lu Shifeng leaned against the door: “I don’t know about that. Do you have the habit of drinking medicine in the bathroom?”

 

NO, I have not.

 

Jian Luo wanted to strongly object, but finally had to bite the bullet: “Yes.”

 

There was silence all around.

 

Half a second later.

 

Lu Shifeng said: “Then you should feel uncomfortable in your stomach now. Drinking this medicine will have such side effects.”

 

Luckily he didn’t drink it.

 

Jian Luo responded indiscriminately: “Yes, it’s quite uncomfortable.”

 

The room fell silent again.

 

Lu Shifeng’s dark eyes looked at Jian Luo. Those eyes seemed to be able to read people’s hearts, the man sneered: “I lied to you.”

 

Jian Luo raised his face, shocked: “Huh?”

 

“There is no side effect of stomach pain after drinking it.” Lu Shifeng said lazily, “Your stomach hurts? Do you want me to find someone to take a look at you?”

 

Jian Luo’s heart sank.

 

He raised his eyes cautiously, and met Lu Shifeng’s half-smiling eyes, which made his heart tremble, after he’s been found out.

 

Thinking that he might have to drink it later, Jian Luo couldn’t hold back: “It’s mainly because that supplement soup is really too hard to drink!”

 

Lu Shifeng raised his brows.

 

“I didn’t lie to you.” Jian Luo sat on the sofa with a bitter face: “I feel like if I drank it, it would be like swallowing poison.”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: “Didn’t you say you’ve finished drinking it?”

 

Jian Luo gave up: “I took a sip.”’

 

Lu Shifeng sneered.

 

Jian Luo on the sofa appeared to give up, and his entire person looked dead. This really can’t be blamed on him. Especially with how Lu Shifeng got these strange soups casually, which is really unacceptable.

 

Lu Shifeng took the first two steps and walked over.

 

Jian Luo sat up and was a little nervous: “What, what’s wrong?”

 

“These are all for your body.” Lu Shifeng said in a deep voice, “If your body’s nutrition can’t keep up, you will suffer in the end.”

 

“…”

 

He understood the reason.

 

Jian Luo unconsciously stroked his lower abdomen and sighed: “I know, I will think about it.”

 

Lu Shifeng gave a low “en”.

 

Jian Luo buried his head in the sofa and glanced at him sideways: “Aren’t you dark stars able to taste the bitterness?”

 

Lu Shifeng sat lazily: “We are not very sensitive to bitterness.”

 

“…”

 

Oh so that’s how it is.

 

Jian Luo sighed: “Thinking about it like this, human beings are really pitiful.”

 

Lu Shifeng had never seen him hang his head so low, so he said, “Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. You also have something that the Dark Stars envy.”

 

Jian Luo was instantly refreshed, eagerly looking forward to it: “For example?”

 

Lu Shifeng: “In terms of tasting this flavour.”

 

“…”

 

Wow, thanks.

 

The next day.

 

Today was Jian Luo’s rest day. Early in the morning, he heard that his younger brother had returned home, so he cleaned up and prepared to go home to take a look.

 

A group of servants of the blood clan guarded the outside together.

 

Jian Luo hesitated and said, “You…Is there anything else going on?”

 

“We just saw Your Highness.” The attendants bowed and saluted: “Today is your rest day, so we will now teach you the etiquette of the blood clan.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo was now very confused: “Why should I take the etiquette class of the blood clan?”

 

“Because from your behavior at the banquet yesterday, you don’t seem to know much about etiquette.” The attendant wearing a maid’s uniform said obediently: “The dragon cubs must be born as noble, so this is also a kind of prenatal education.”

 

?

 

A question mark slowly appeared on Jian Luo’s head.

 

He sat on the bed and looked at the group of people amusingly: “Do you mean that I am uneducated?”

 

The maid hurriedly said: “We don’t dare to insult your highness like this, but it is not a bad thing for your highness to learn noble etiquette. The marshal and your majesty are already applying for a household registration for you. Because you have their child, you have decided to directly apply for a noble household registration for you, so you have finished studying about nobles. Only after the etiquette lessons can you truly integrate into the nobility.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo didn’t feel happy at all.

 

The household registration was just a qualification certificate for him to buy a house, not a necessity for him.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo smiled: “No, I’m not interested in the etiquette of you nobles and I’m not interested in becoming nobles. Do you really think that because of the little dragon princes, I have to change my entire way of life?”

 

As he finished his sentence, the room was silent.

 

The maid’s face changed again and again, and she suddenly knelt down with a “thud”: “Your Highness forgives my sins, please don’t be angry. I’m stupid, I made you angry!”

 

Jian Luo was originally a little angry, but no one has ever kneeled to him in his life, so he was a little embarrassed: “Get up.”

 

The maid was still hesitant.

 

“I don’t mean to blame you.” Jian Luo said bluntly: “If I need the etiquette of aristocrats, I will learn it myself. You don’t need to remind me.”

 

He just didn’t want to be told off that way.

 

But this does not mean that he will not find opportunities to study it in the future.

 

The maids nodded obediently: “Understood.”

 

Jian Luo waved his hand: “Let’s go.”

 

The maids saluted, and then they all withdrew. After this, it was obvious that almost no one dared to rebute Jian Luo again.

 

Jian Luo fell slumped on the bed and sighed heavily.

 

“Beep.”

 

The information bracelet had a message for him, informing in a prompt tone.

 

Jian Luo sat up a little, opened the message, and saw that it was Su Liang: “Luoluo, are you coming home today?”

 

Jian Luo quickly replied: “I’ll be back.”

 

Su Liang responded: “No hurry, your brother just came home. I said you went to work.”

 

“Ok.”

 

After replying to the message, Jian Luo closed the information bracelet and reopened the live broadcast page. He basically only watched the income earnings of the live broadcast network once a month.

 

Of the 178,000 star coins, nearly 100,000 of them came from live broadcast donations, while the other 80,000 came from purchases and tastings.

 

After transferring the money into his card, Jian Luo began to ponder.

 

Saving this money won’t actually do much, but if he could put this money towards something more useful, he’ll be able to maximize the benefits.

 

While thinking about it, Jian Luo walked out.

 

The driver has been waiting for a long time: “Mr. Jian Luo, where are we headed?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo told him the address of Peace Paradise: “Please, driver, take me to Peace Paradise.”

 

The driver replied: “Okay.”

 

Because the road was not too far, Jian Luo continued thinking about how to invest when he sat in the car. He also thought about the many types of investment he could make.

Investing in shares of Moonlight?

Buying something that appreciates in value?

Or opening his own shop?

 

In fact, if he has to tell the truth, it is true that his own cooking skills are also very good. If he could open his own shop, it was also very feasible.

 

Just thinking about it, the driver in front said, “Sir, Peace Paradise is in front.”

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay, thank you. Just drop me off in front, you don’t need to drive into the village.”

 

The driver replied: “Okay.”

 

The car stopped on the side of the road, before parking. The door opened automatically and Jian Luo got out of it.

 

Rows of willow trees were blooming outside Peace Paradise, and they are blossoming lushly at the moment, fluttering in the wind.

 

“Just call if you need me to pick you up.” The driver has always served Jian Luo: “I’ll wait for you here.”

 

Jian Luo responded, “Okay, thank you.”

 

Going inside from here, within a few steps, one will be able to see a small clinic run by an old genius doctor at the entrance of the village with a crumbling sign. It made one a little worried when they saw it.

 

Without a good reason, Jian Luo stopped at the door of the clinic.

 

The weather was a little breezy at the moment. There was a rocking chair in the yard and the old genius doctor was slowly enjoying the coolness from the rocking chair.

 

Jian Luo knocked on the door: “Hello, I’m coming in?”

 

The old genius doctor originally had his eyes almost closed to sleep, but now he was completely alert. He opened one eye and looked at Jian Luo: “Global Hope?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Lao, you still remember.”

 

“Come here.” The old genius doctor stretched out his trembling hand: “I’ll read your condition.”

 

Jian Luo took a small bench and sat down beside him: “Okay.”

 

The old genius doctor narrowed his eyes, took his pulse for a while and stroked his beard: “Your pulse is not very good.”

 

Jian Luo calmly said, “I feel it myself.”

 

“You have to take good care of yourself.” The old genius doctor said slowly: “How will the dark stars know what to do with fetuses? Even if they know that you are unwell, maybe they will just bring a bowl of nutrient solution for you to drink.”

 

“…”

 

That really happened.

 

Jian Luo whispered, “I really can’t drink that nutrient solution.”

 

The old genius doctor sneered: “Not to mention you, even normal humans are not used to drinking nutrient solution. Do you know why everyone is still drinking it?”

 

Jian Luo was curious: “Why?”

 

“Vegetables are expensive.” The old genius doctor said slowly: “After they are planted, they will be distributed to the front lines. How can ordinary people afford it?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo didn’t quite understand: “Since vegetables are so expensive, why not grow them in batches?”

 

The old genius doctor sneered: “That’s the problem. Its rareness is the most valuable thing. If it is planted in batches, then the role of human beings will be lost. Where will our labor be needed?”

 

Jian Luo thought about it and gradually understood the reason.

 

It was probably an endless cycle. The germination rate of seeds is decreasing, so there are only a few varieties at present. Naturally it is impossible to guarantee the innovation of human beings.

 

If one ate those kinds of foods for many years, one will definitely get tired of eating them. In order to prevent the food from being wasted, one can only control the quantity.

 

However, controlling the quantity will also have an unintended consequence – the reduction of the quantity means that sometimes even our own people won’t be able eat it.

 

Jian Luo sighed.

 

The old genius doctor said: “Humans need to innovate, otherwise, they will eventually be replaced.”

 

These are all very cruel facts, but Jian Luo has some ideas of his own: “Yes, human beings have to find a way that suits them to adapt to the universe, before we can all truly survive.”

 

The old genius doctor finally opened his eyes: “Then what do you think?”

 

?

 

Jian Luo sat on the chair and looked at the soil on the ground: “I haven’t figured it out yet. I’m here to see if I can find some supplements that I can drink in addition to the nutrient solution, but I don’t know if there is. Is there such a recipe for this?”

 

The old doctor smiled slowly: “Although the dark star is different from earth, there are many Chinese herbs for medicine in its forest that are roughly the same as on earth’s. Wait, I’ll get you a recipe in two days.”

 

Jian Luo: “Okay, thank you.”

 

After discussing this matter, he was about to leave. But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, having a slightly terrifying thought in his mind.

 

He heard before that there were also Chinese herbal medicines that can treat infertility. Since it could treat people on earth, is it possible that Chinese herbal medicine could also cure dark stars? In his final analysis, it was a fact that humans evolved from apes. Weren’t the Dark Stars also half-beasts? Since everyone were animals, they should be able to relate to each other!

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo thought about acupuncture and the clearing of one’s meridians¹In Chinese medicine, they believe that bad stuff may accumulate in certain points in your body, leading to blockages. It’s a good thing to clear meridians in your body, most of the time..

 

“This!” Jian Luo suddenly turned around, wanting to chat more with the old genius doctor to verify his idea: “Do you think Chinese herbal medicine is effective on dark stars?”

 

The old genius doctor sat on the rocking chair and drank his tea slowly: “It’s hard to say.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart gradually sank.

 

“But…” The old genius doctor’s tone was elongated: “I haven’t treated them before, so it’s hard to say.”

 

There was still hope!

 

Jian Luo’s eyes suddenly lit up, it can be said that he was very happy!

 

After confirming this matter, he seemed to have solved a serious problem for his confidant. He walked home really fast, as if he was flying.

 

When he opened the door to the yard, he could smell the food from inside.

 

“Big brother!”

 

Jian Luo paused for a while and saw his younger brother rushing towards him. This child was growing up quite fast indeed.

 

Jian Sheng stood in front of Jian Luo excitedly: “Bid brother, why did you get off work early?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo casually thought of a reason to just answer him: “Because I used to work too much, so the place let me get off work early now.”

 

Jian Sheng nodded: “So that’s how it is.”

 

The two entered the room hand in hand, and chatted a lot along the way. Of course, it was mainly Jian Luo listening to Jian Sheng talk about the school. The most interesting thing was his admiration for Lu Shifeng.

“The marshal gave us a martial arts demonstration.”

“He’s too good.”

“Those monsters are not his opponents, even if they came at him together.”

“If only I could be as good as him one day!”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “He is the marshal of the empire, he must have some skills.”

 

The two of them walked into the room and sat down at the table respectively. His younger brother has basically become Lu Shifeng’s fanboy: “I heard that the marshal was not a dragon king when he was born. As a little dragon, he was a relatively weak one. However, he also became stronger by his own efforts later in life. I want to learn from him!”

 

Yeah?

 

Inexplicably, Jian Luo suddenly felt that he didn’t understand Lu Shifeng at all.

 

Nor did he take the initiative to inquire about Lu Shifeng’s past.

 

But……

 

But was it necessary?

 

They just met by chance, and were just strangers who accidentally met, so they didn’t get to know each other.

 

Su Liang came out of the kitchen and asked his younger brother, “How many days of school holidays do you have in total?”

 

“Oh.” His younger brother answered honestly: “There are two days off in total. I should go back to school tomorrow. Now is a critical period for learning. The school does not give too many holidays.”

 

Jian Luo knew it. Seems like he was going to sleep at home tonight.

 

Su Liang glanced at Jian Luo: “Luoluo, if your workplace is busy, you can go. You don’t need to worry about your family.”

 

“It’s okay, it’s not busy.” Jian Luo comforted Su Liang: “I’ll just tell the boss again. The boss takes good care of me.”

 

“…”

 

It would be better if he did not have to go to class.

 

After wandering around at home for an afternoon, he was too comfortable, so Jian Luo suddenly received a message from Jiang Jiang: “Luoluo, are you there?”

 

Jian Luo replied, “Yes.”

 

“That is… I see that you have withdrawn your earnings. I have an idea on something and want to discuss it with you.” Jiang Jiang has been thinking about it for a long time. “But the main decision of this matter is up to you.”

 

Jian Luo couldn’t help but pay attention: “What’s the matter? You can just say it.”

 

Jiang Jiang coughed lightly: “It’s like that… I think your potato chips, shrimp crackers and et cetera can actually all be mass-produced. Judging from the current market and the reactions from your live broadcast room, there is a huge demand for these snacks. Yes, the supply is still in short supply now, so it can be mass produced and sold to the public, what do you think?”

 

Jian Luo thought about it. It was feasible.

 

It happened that he was also worried about how to spend the little money he had saved in his hand.

 

“It’s feasible.” Jian Luo said honestly, “Let’s make an appointment tomorrow to meet and have a good talk about this matter.”

 

Jiang Jiang responded quickly: “Okay!”

 

After thinking about it, Jiang Jiang said again: “I brought my senior sister here by the way. She is in this industry. Let’s talk about it together.”

 

Jian Luo had no objections.

 

After discussing it, it was time to say hello to Lu Shifeng. He cowardly opened the chat window and sent Lu Shifeng a message: “I’ve arrived.”

 

He thought that he would have to wait for a while, but who knew that the speed of the other’s reply was very fast: “What’s going on?”

 

Jian Luo was very honest: “I’m sleeping at home tonight. My brother is back.”

 

“Alright.” Lu Shifeng responded, “Pay more attention to yourself and call me if you have anything.”

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay.”

 

He thought it was over, but Lu Shifeng added another sentence: “I’ll pick you up for dinner tomorrow.”

 

Having a meal together?

 

That can’t be done, he already had an appointment.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo quickly replied: “No need. My brother will be at home tomorrow, I’ll just eat at home.”

 

Lord Marshal, who was rejected again, frowned, but when he thought about the relationship between Jian Luo and his family, he finally agreed: “Okay.”

 

After chatting, Jian Luo rolled on the bed very happily.

 

Great, if we can talk about mass production tomorrow. He can only think of how much money will make. Maybe it will be as successful as the Copico²Famous chips and junk food brand in China. company!

Chapter 39 – Stomach bump-preserving soup

 

Jian Luo looked at her and his dark eyes gradually filled with a smile.

 

The woman was inexplicably annoyed by him: “What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?”

 

“It seems that your evaluation of potato chips is quite high.” Jian Luo said slowly: “Then you should eat more.”

 

The woman felt that Jian Luo’s words were contradictory: “What do you mean?”

 

Jian Luo put down the dinner plate: “You’re no fun, take care of yourself.”

 

He turned around and was about to leave, but before he took two steps, he met Kazuki, who jumped over happily: “Luoluo!”

 

Jian Luo looked at her: “You’re here too.”

 

“Of course, I really wanted to come and play.” Kazuki was also more sincere: “However, it’s more important for me to observe the market. Today, many of the foods are new products of Moonlight. I heard that you were coming too, so I just followed instructions. What do you think of these potato chips? Are they made according to your taste?”

 

Jian Luo told her the truth and said: “It’s not bad, but the control of heat needs to be better grasped.”

 

Kazuki’s brows and eyes were smiling: “It seems that I have learned only half of the art. Okay, I will let them watch and improve on it when I return.”

 

The woman next to him was at a loss.

 

She knows and has heard of people from Moonlight, and she also knows that potato chips were very delicious, but when these things are added together, why did she feel that there was something she was missing?

 

…

 

When Jian Luo was about to leave, the woman grabbed Kazuki’s arm: “Hey, who is that person?”

 

“Him?” Kazuki repeated, looking at Jian Luo’s back. A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: “Don’t you know, these potato chips were the first thing he invented.”

 

?

 

A question mark slowly appeared on the woman’s face.

 

Kazuki smiled and said, “You didn’t say anything stupid just now, did you?”

 

The woman’s face turned green and white She looked very unhappy and hesitated for a while, shocked and not knowing what to say.

 

Jian Luo, not far away, continued to survey and eat.

 

His stomach became hungrier faster now, but it was amazing how he’s full without even eating a few bites at a time, but he was sure that he’ll be hungry soon after.

 

This whole reception was basically full of half-raw meat from the blood clan, and although Moonlight had specially prepared some dishes, apart from the fried food such as potato chips, the other vegetables were simply tasteless.

 

He was walking around when he heard some movement not far away.

 

At the very front, in the main hall of the palace, a woman slowly walked down. It was the protagonist of the night, the little princess. She was wearing a fluffy embroidered dress, and her skin of the blood race was as white as snow.

 

Breathtaking.

 

The little princess bowed to everyone and announced in a slow voice: “I am very grateful to all the guests for coming tonight. Even if it’s just to show me some courtesy, I hope everyone has a good time.”

 

The crowd applauded slowly.

 

The little princess raised her arrogant head: “We will be holding a moon-viewing banquet in the center of the lake not far away, please come and enjoy it together.”

 

Everyone set off and walked towards the so-called center of the lake.

 

Jian Luo was stunned, as he was thinking about it, Lu Shifeng’s voice sounded beside him: “Let’s go.”

 

“Where are we going?” Jian Luo followed him and asked a soulful question: “Why must we go to appreciate the moon? Can’t we just enjoy the banquet here?”

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a smile: “I don’t mind if you speak louder, it’s better even if everyone else heard.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo pouted.

 

He felt humiliated inside.

 

Because he stood beside Lu Shifeng, it attracted the attention of many people. Jian Luo couldn’t stand being stared at all the time, so he subconsciously slowed down and tried to keep a distance from Lu Shifeng.

 

However, the marshal did not do as he wished.

 

Jian Luo only took a few steps back, but Lu Shifeng turned around.

 

As the tall man stopped suddenly, Jian Luo, who had his head lowered, almost bumped into him. Lu Shifeng said, “Give me your hand.”

 

Jian Luo raised his hand suspiciously.

 

Lu Shifeng held his hand: “Let’s go.”

 

Unlike Jian Nan’s slender, white and tender palm, Lu Shifeng’s palms and finger pads had a thin layer of calluses. At first touch, they even felt a little like dragon scales.

 

Jian Luo said, “I can go by myself.”

 

Lu Shifeng ignored him: “When you go to the banquet in the lake, there will be assigned seats. If you don’t want to stand, just follow me.”

 

“…Oh.”

 

Jian Luo earnestly followed him. In fact, it felt quite strange. He had never been held by anyone since he was a child. The person who held his hand last time might have been a fortune-teller at a roadside stall.

 

In addition to that, he was really holding hands with Lu Shifeng, although it seems that the Marshal was only taking him to find their seats.

 

They arrived at the Lake Pavilion.

 

In the middle was a big disc with a lifelike statue of a god with rather strange features. It had dragon horns on its head, but its hair was as red as a phoenix, and there were small fangs at the corners of its mouth, while its face was a bit like a shrewd Pixiu.

 

Lu Shifeng said to him, “That is the national beast.”

 

Jian Luo seemed to understand, but tried to reason with him: “A mascot?”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng was silent for a moment before softly saying, “You can say that.”

 

The banquet tables were filled up from top to bottom. Lu Shifeng’s status was respected, so he was assigned a seat in the front to be admired, but this was all unnecessary for Jian Luo, a petty citizen.

 

When Jian Luo saw that he wanted to go up, he was not happy: “Forget it, you can go by yourself. I’ll find a place below by myself.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Where would you like to sit?”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, looked around, and tried his best to pick a spot that looked the most inconspicuous: “I think over there is suitable.”

 

“Okay.” Lu Shifeng led him there: “Let’s just sit there.”

 

???

 

Big brother, I’m begging you, please don’t mess with me.

 

It was not a question of location at all. Um, it’s a question of you. As long as you, a living person, are there, you’ll attract attention wherever you go!

 

Jian Luo was afraid of him: “Forget it, let’s go and sit in front.”

 

Lu Shifeng lowered his head. The man’s profile was as handsome as a knife: “Didn’t you want to switch seats?”

 

“It doesn’t matter.” Jian Luo sighed: “Anyway, since I’m a broadcaster, more people will look at me. It’s good to get used to this small scene.”

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a smile.

 

The two walked to the front where the VIP seats were. The first thing Jian Luo saw was Zhan Wentai, before feeling the fear of being tortured by his lessons. It felt as if he was suddenly about to go meet his headmaster.

 

The little emperor was sitting on the main seat. Wait… the little emperor?

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened. He had guessed before that this child might have had a high status, but who would’ve known that the boy who ate his stinky tofu before was actually a noble emperor?

 

The little emperor noticed Jian Luo’s gaze and smiled at him with sharp little teeth that looked very cute.

 

“…”

 

Your Majesty, you hid it so well.

 

Jian Luo sat down next to Lu Shifeng and found that the food on the table in front was very interesting. There was a switch under it. After turning it on, the table on which the food was placed on will automatically become a cooking table in the kitchen. You can also choose your own meat and roast it yourself.

 

Nice.

 

To be honest, the food made by the blood clan was really bad, so he still had to do it himself.

 

Just as he was enjoying herself, a female voice suddenly came from not far away: “I heard that the little cook from Marshal Lu’s place is very good, can you demonstrate it to us?”

 

Jian Luo raised his head and met the princess’s gaze.

 

The princess sat on the high platform at the top, looking at him with provocative eyes, full of hostility and resistance.

 

“…”

 

Princess, why bother.

 

The little emperor said, “Aya, don’t fool around.”

 

“How am I fooling around?” Princess Aya was very unhappy: “Brother Lu’s mouth is very picky, so if caught his eyes, it means that the little chef is really capable.”

 

Nie Yan sat down and looked at Jian Luo.

 

Princess Aya teased: “I remember Brother Nie said that all the famous chefs in the world are in Moonlight, why doesn’t he have anyone?”

 

After being called out, the richest man didn’t care. Nie Yan played with his glass on one hand: “Huh? How does the princess know that he is not one of mine?”

 

Princess Aya was taken aback: “Is he from Moonlight?”

 

“To be precise.” Zhan Wentai on the left said coldly: “He is a member of Phoenix Stage now and works with me.”

 

Nie Yan sneered: “It’s only temporary.”

 

The two were still arguing when Lu Shifeng took out a small snuff bottle from his pocket and gave it to Jian Luo: “Take a breath.”

 

Jian Luo fell on the barbecue. He was curious: “What is this?”

 

“It’ll help you to suppress the smell of blood.” Lu Shifeng said softly, “Try it.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious about this kind of high-tech thing, so he took it. The small bottle was cold all over, and there was a faint mint fragrance before putting it into his nose.

 

“It smells good.” Jian Luo was a little uncomfortable just smelling the bloody smell of the barbecued meat. This would make him feel much better: “It’s really useful.”

 

Lu Shifeng looked back: “Then keep it.”

 

The two’s every move attracted the attention of the above, but the little princess only saw that Jian Luo had received something, she couldn’t see what he received.

 

The little princess watched Jian Luo roasting meat and pouted, “Your method is wrong.”

 

Other nobles were also paying attention to Jian Luo. There are rules for the blood clan barbecue. They paid attention to the elegance, rather than the tossing and turning method of Jian Luo’s to make it fully cooked.

 

Although everyone didn’t say it, they all secretly despised it in their hearts.

 

The little emperor gently pulled Aya’s hand, his eyes were a little deep: “Nothing else matters, don’t make Luoluo unhappy.”

 

Aya felt unbelievable!

 

Forget Lu Shifeng. Even those two were lured in by him, not to mention her own imperial brother also had this attitude?

 

Aya snorted coldly, “Do you not know whose birthday it is?”

 

Jian Luo, who was not far away, continued to roast his meat. He was very good at roasting meat. In the past, his family was poor and could not afford meat. Even if there was meat, they would not let him eat it, so he learned to go to the mountains to get some fish and pheasant to eat.

 

The more times he did it, the more skillful his grilling technique became, which was completely different from the brute-force grilling method of the dark stars.

 

Jian Luo approached Lu Shifeng: “Is there any seasoning?”

 

Lu Shifeng lowered his head: “What?”

 

“…”

 

Well, definitely not.

 

The aroma of the barbecue slowly radiated out and Jian Luo took out a packet of salt brought by his own foresight from his pocket and sprinkled some on it. It would be more refreshing to have some chili too at this time.

 

His techniques were naturally proficient enough to make others feel distressed.

 

The aroma of his barbecue made almost all the vampires who were accustomed to eating half-cooked meat look towards him frequently. They were subconsciously curious about this person.

 

Jian Luo took the vegetable leaves on the side, rolled it up around a piece of meat and put it in his mouth: “En… it’s delicious.”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at him.

 

“It’s delicious.” Jian Luo swallowed the piece of meat. It was almost enough to quell his fear of the half-raw food around him. He then took the initiative to say to Lu Shifeng, “Do you want to eat? I’ll wrap one up for you.”

 

Seeing that he had found something to do, Lu Shifeng agreed: “Sure.”

 

Jian Luo quickly wrapped another meat inside the vegetable for Lu Shifeng. In order to avoid soiling Lu Shifeng’s hands, he held it himself and looked at him with bright eyes: “Lower your head a little bit.”

 

Lu Shifeng leaned down.

 

Jian Luo shoved it into his mouth and it was like coaxing a small dragon: “Is it delicious?”

 

Lu Shifeng finished chewing slowly and nodded his head: “Not bad.”

 

Yes!

 

The barbecue technique of the Chinese nation has been recognized.

 

The other nobles were stunned. They managed to witness something rare in this lifetime… Was that still that cold-faced Marshal Lu who vanquished other’s into ashes?

 

That was too cute!

 

Nie Yan said not far away, “Luoluo.”

 

Jian Luo raised his head: “Boss?”

 

“Since it’s ready, you’re not going to let your boss try some?” Nie Yan pushed up his glasses: “No matter what, you’re still a staff of Moonlight.”

 

Jian Luo looked at him.

 

Nie Yan stood up, walked over within two steps, and leaned down: “Wrap one for me.”

 

…

 

No, I don’t have enough for myself.

 

Jian Luo perfunctorily picked the smallest piece of meat and wrapped it in the vegetable before handing it to Nie Yan: “Boss, here it is for you.”

 

Nie Yan was very strange: “Aren’t you going to feed me?”

 

Jian Luo felt even more strange: “Why, don’t you have your own hands?”

 

…

 

Lu Shifeng’s shoulders shook.

 

Nie Yan took a sip of the grilled meat and vegetable wrap. His eyes lit up as he nodded approvingly, “Not bad.”

 

A military commander and the world’s richest man said it was nice to eat.

 

Coupled with this seductive, damn aroma, it also made other vampires greedy for a while now.

 

The little emperor also walked down. The child looked soft and cute. Very earnestly, he said: “Luoluo, Luoluo, I also want to eat.”

 

Jian Luo was the least resistant to the child, so he quickly wrapped the biggest piece of meat: “Come here.”

 

The little emperor opened his mouth wide, “Ahh”, chewed it twice, and dropped his cheeks together: “Is wlly¹“really good” – but his mouth was full. good, wlly good.”

 

All of them have eaten.

 

Princess Aya above couldn’t sit still at all.

 

Dark stars naturally loved food, especially since they don’t secrete dopamine themselves. Food can promote the secretion of dopamine, so their love for food was engraved in their bones.

 

Princess Aya raised her face: “Since it’s so good, let me taste it.”

 

Jian Luo lifted her eyelids to look at her, but ignored her. Pretending not to hear, he continued to wrap food for himself.

 

Aya waited for a while and found that she was being ignored. After observing closely, she found that Jian Luo was completely ignoring her!

 

The little princess took a deep breath and said harshly: “What’s so great about it? If you won’t let me try, I’m not trying any.”

 

Jian Luo still ignored her.

 

When you eat barbecue, you have to come up with some tricks. A plain-old barbecue session is boring.

 

“Can I eat that fish?” Jian Luo pointed to Lu Shifeng’s table not far away: “It’s okay if I can’t.”

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t like to eat fish at all: “I’ll give it to you.”

 

The fish was prepared and its internal organs were cleaned. Jian Luo sprinkled the salt evenly, and he used long chopsticks to pierce the fish and roasted it directly on the fire.

 

Originally, this was a gathering of nobles, and everyone should’ve raised their glasses to admire the bright moon, but he turned it into an outdoor barbecue show.

 

The aroma of the fish slowly dissipated, which was really enticing to the taste buds. Jian Luo thought it was too hot, so he took Lu Shifeng to try it first: “Do you want to try it?”

 

Lu Shifeng saw that he hadn’t even taken a bite yet: “Eat it yourself.”

 

“I’m afraid that it’s hot.” Jian Luo said honestly, “You eat it first.”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him silently and sneered.

 

Jian Luo was stunned, feeling that the aura of the marshal seemed a little bad, so he said decisively and honestly: “Forget it, I’ll eat it myself.”

 

He was about to blow on it, but the fish in his hand suddenly trembled, as if something had been cast around it, and the temperature plummeted.

 

Jian Luo looked up and met Zhan Wentai’s gaze.

 

Sitting firmly like a mountain, the priest wearing white robes said softly, “It’s not hot anymore, you can eat it now.”

 

?

 

Jian Luo tentatively took a bite, and found that it was no longer hot. It can be said to be very miraculous. It turns out that Phoenixes really has magical powers.

 

After eating the fish in his mouth, Jian Luo mouthed out to Zhan Wentai: “Thank you.”

 

Zhan Wentai gave him a slight nod.

 

Sitting at the table, Jian Luo thought for a while and felt that he couldn’t owe him favor, so he simply took another piece of barbecue and put it on the table to grill it. The high priest was not far from him, but there was a Lu Shifeng in the middle of them.

 

Jian Luo gently poked Lu Shifeng.

 

Lord Marshal lowered his head in a condescending manner and stared at Jian Luo: “What?”

 

Was he sending him another plate of barbecue because he liked it?

 

The Marshal’s thinking was very divergent from his’.

 

“This.” Jian Luo held the small plate in his hand and said softly, “Please help me pass it to the priest.”

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Half a second later.

 

Lu Shifeng stretched out his hand to take the plate and handed it to Zhan Wentai next to him.

 

The priest took the plate and nodded reservedly at Jian Luo: “Thank you.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It’s only natural.”

 

After all, you are my teacher. How could I not please you? If you try to stubbornly give me remedial lessons every day, I’ll be screwed!

 

Everyone was in harmony, and the whole reception was about to come to an end.

 

When the reception was over and Jian Luo was full, he heard Lu Shifeng say, “Sleep in the palace tonight. The house outside is not fully furnished yet.”

 

Jian Luo had no other opinion: “Okay.”

 

It was not the first day he lived in the palace. Jian Luo followed the attendant and walked forward. Because he slept here the last time, the room prepared for him in the palace was still gradually being perfected.

 

As soon as the door of the room was opened, he stepped a foot inside. There was a soft carpet and it was as soft as stepping on the clouds. Even the coffin that almost scared him away the morning before had also disappeared.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Go wash up first.”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo turned back: “Then I’m going, you should go back soon too.”

 

Lu Shifeng walked in normally, as though he was supposed to be here: “No hurry, go take a shower first.”

 

?

 

A question mark appeared above Jian Luo’s head, but he didn’t dare to ask Lu Shifeng what he wanted to do.

 

Anyway, he didn’t think too much about himself. About the previous time, wasn’t it only because it was the estrus period of the dragon clan?

 

Jian Luo didn’t think much: “Okay, then I’ll take a shower.”

 

There was a bathroom in the room. Jian Luo walked in and took a quick shower. When he came out, he thought that the Marshal had already left, but he didn’t expect that Lu Shifeng had not left yet. Sitting lazily on the sofa, his slender legs were in military boots, looking stern and handsome.

 

Jian Luo stood on the spot: “Why are you…”

 

Just as he was speaking, there was a knock on the door from the outside. It was a maid: “Marshal, the item is cooked.”

 

Lu Shifeng said slowly: “Bring it in.”

 

The maid in maid outfit walked in with small steps, put down the medicine in the tray, and respectfully said, “Your Highness, please take it slowly.”

 

Jian Luo lowered his head and looked at the green water in the bowl. The water was still bubbling. It was very similar to the bowl of “Dalang poison²ref chapter 1 lolololol (being fed poison meme)” from the day he crossed over into this world.

 

Lu Shifeng said: “This supplement soup was specially designed for you.”

 

Sitting on the sofa, Jian Luo was very suspicious: “Supplement soup? What kind of supplement?”

 

“To fix your body.” Lu Shifeng said slowly: “Your body is too weak, and the cubs are growing up too slowly. If they absorb too much of your nutrition, you won’t be able to take it.”

 

“…”

 

So this was a supplement for himself. Jian Luo would have dared to pat his chest and said that he would never drink it. After all, he hated drinking all kinds of poisons since he was a child, so it was impossible that he’d drink them now.

 

But now there were a few small ones in his stomach. If it were him on his own, it did not matter, but what if these small ones did not get enough to eat.

 

In the first place, he was not a female dragon, so he couldn’t give the cubs a good environment to grow. Now there was a way to make up for it, it was not impossible to give it a try.

 

Thinking about this, Jian Luo sighed: “Then let me drink it.”

 

He picked up the supplement soup and took a sip. He wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but the stench came up and it was very unbearable.

 

“Pft…”

 

All the supplement soup was spit out.

 

Jian Luo bitterly rushed into the bathroom and rinsed his mouth before coming out. He leaned against the door and wrinkled his face: “What kind of smell is this?”

 

Lu Shifeng explained to him: “This is the supplement liquid that the hospital has prepared for you according to your own condition.”

 

Jian Luo couldn’t drink it anymore: “Then leave it there, I’ll drink it later.”

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Jian Luo tried his best to keep his face steady, and gave Lu Shifeng the illusion of “I’m really good and I won’t try anything at all”.

 

After a while.

 

The Marshal nodded: “Alright.”

 

Jian Luo was overjoyed in his heart: “Well, then you can go back quickly. Pay attention to your own safety on the way back.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “You seem very happy.”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo’s smile froze on his face, and he said dryly, “You read it wrong.”

 

Lu Shifeng stared for a while, then finally withdrew his gaze. He sat up from the sofa and walked outside.

 

Jian Luo only dared to take action after making sure there was no movement outside. It was not that he would not drink it, but that if he finished drinking this thing, he might have to vomit out the contents of his stomach all day.

 

Picking up the soup bowl on the table, Jian Luo walked to the bathroom and poured the bowl of liquid into the toilet. He then pressed the flush button directly and said goodbye.

 

After doing all this, Jian Luo happily clapped his hands and walked out swaggeringly, giving herself a compliment in his heart.

 

However, almost as soon as he stepped out the door, his footsteps stopped.

 

At the door, Lu Shifeng had gone away but returned. The man leaned against the door and looked at Jian Luo in a leisurely manner: “You came out?”

 

“…”

Chapter 38 – Rival

 

Jian Luo was stunned: “E-educate?”

 

“En.” Zhan Wentai’s eyes moved down and finally stopped on Jian Luo’s lower abdomen: “They are ready for prenatal education.”

 

“…”

 

You don’t have to.

 

Jian Luo also touched his stomach subconsciously and was very curious: “They are only two months old, will they be conscious?”

 

Zhan Wentai motioned for Jian Luo to follow him: “Prenatal education is not only for them, but for you too.”

 

Jian Luo pointed to himself: “Me?”

 

It turns out that this came together like a package deal. Yes, the dark stars really widened his thinking again and again.

 

Zhan Wentai walked on the path as he cast him a sideways glance. Everyone he saw along the way bowed their heads to greet him.

 

The temple of the high priest was a tower-like building, and the whole structure was white. After entering the hall, there was a lifelike phoenix statue standing in the middle.

 

Zhan Wentai said, “Come with me.”

 

Entering a small elevator from here, Jian Luo tentatively said, “Um, Lord Priest, may I ask something?”

 

Zhan Wentai: “Speak.”

 

“What does the Prenatal Church teach?” Jian Luo remembered that his cubs were dragons: “Does it teach the knowledge about the dragon race?”

 

Zhan Wentai shot him a look when he heard the words.

 

Although the scholar did not say it clearly, Jian Luo deciphered that his actions sent him a message saying “dumb mortal”.

 

“Beep boop.”

 

The elevator has arrived.

 

Zhan Wentai escorted Jian Luo out of the elevator. The two of them came out one after the other. The red high beams and the retro carvings caught his eye and the whole floor was filled with heavy traces of history. At the end were countless bookshelves with countless books on it. Just looking at it made one’s head buzz.

 

Finally, they stopped in front of a row of bookshelves.

 

Zhan Wentai said: “Learn from here.”

 

?

 

A question mark slowly emerged from his head.

 

Jian Luo stammered: “Learn… me?”

 

“These are the most basic.” Zhan Wentai’s voice was low and steady. He himself had sacred and noble manners, so his words naturally resembled a gift from God: “It’s not difficult to learn.”

 

Jian Luo looked at the stacks of heavy books: “N-not difficult?”

 

Zhan Wentai picked up a book casually and said, “This row has the history of dark stars over the years, and it is followed by the macroscopic science of the universe, and also knowledge related to scientific research and religion. It is generally not taught to outsiders, but considering the great contribution you have made to dark stars, we are very grateful. In order to repay your kindness, it will all be passed on to you.”

 

? ? ?

 

Well, was this kindness or revenge?

 

He was just a poor, poor cook!

 

Why did he have to learn this!

 

Jian Luo’s face was scrunched up, so he pushed his sons in his stead without any integrity: “Better wait for the cubs to come out, then only give them this kindness, it’s all the same.”

 

Zhan Wentai glanced at him and seemed to see through everything.

 

Jian Luo lowered his head guiltily.

 

“The cubs will have a special person to impart knowledge and education onto them.” Zhan Wentai’s voice was indifferent: “Before that, I came to teach you.”

 

Jian Luo was on the verge of death and frantically asked: “Then, can this kindness be exchanged for something else?”

 

As he ended his sentence, the air around them froze.

 

For a moment, Jian Luo actually felt a bit of murderous aura from the noble and holy high priest.

 

Zhan Wentai said: “Knowledge is the most precious wealth. Nothing is more valuable than it. You don’t have to belittle yourself. Since you have received such a gift, cherish it. No one will say anything.”

 

…

 

No, you completely misunderstood!

 

Jian Luo wanted to cry but had no tears. He couldn’t make any sense with the upright priest.

 

“Okay.” Zhan Wentai asked Jian Luo to sit on the sofa over there: “I’ll talk about these five books today. I’ve also already prepared refreshments.”

 

Jian Luo followed his gaze and saw two red velvet sofas next to a large floor-to-ceiling window not far away, along with two trays of sliced holy dragon fruit on them and two pots of brewed hot, steaming tea beside them.

 

Jian Luo: “We can eat in class?”

 

Zhan Wentai thought for a while: “If you’re not hungry…”

 

“I’m hungry, I’m very hungry!”

 

“…”

 

It was so early in the morning, but even the good news of his pepper germination could not overpower the sadness of studying. Jian Luo, who had graduated many years ago, was forced to study again after starting his career.

 

As Zhan Wentai was giving a lecture, he was eating and ignoring him. If it weren’t for the fact that he was too close, he would also be able to secretly sleep. Finally, Zhan Wentai reached the conclusion: “This situation lasted for about 100 years before the first beast people appeared.”

 

Jian Luo was absent-minded: “En…”

 

Zhan Wentai stopped his voice and looked at Jian Luo for a moment. When he saw this, he was panicking in his heart. He was a little distracted before, but now he was completely awake.

 

Jian Luo shook his head and raised his voice: “So that’s how it is!”

 

Zhan Wentai closed the book and asked solemnly, “You understood everything?”

 

“Understood.” Jian Luo then began to pretend not to understand: “I fully understand the truth now. I never imagined that the history of how the beasts came about would be so bitter.”

 

Zhan Wentai picked up the hot tea on the table and asked in a deep voice, “So, what was the first race to transform into a beast?”

 

…

 

Knowledge blind spot.

 

Jian Luo choked, he was really distracted just now: “Yes… What’s that? Ah, wait. Let me think about it.”

 

The old priest, Zhan Wentai, was in a state of meditation, so he was not in a hurry at all.

 

Jian Luo scratched his ears and cheeks, trying to recall the knowledge and points he listened to when he was distracted just now, hesitating whether or not he should ask the lightbrain.

 

Unexpectedly, Zhan Wentai said: “It’s the blood clan.”

 

Jian Luo suddenly looked up.

 

“Note down the points you can’t remember.” Zhan Wentai put down his teacup: “In order to test your mastery of this knowledge in the future, I will give you a quiz every day.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo reminded him in disbelief: “I don’t think this counts as prenatal education for the cub. Just wait for the cubs to be born before testing them.”

 

Zhan Wentai refused: “When you understand it, only then can they understand it more thoroughly. This is the most basic aspect of prenatal education.”

 

“…”

 

I feel you are wasting your effort on nothing.

 

Jian Luo was grieved and indignant. He was still holding onto a glimmer of hope: “I want to ask, what if I fail the test?”

 

Zhan Wentai frowned: “Such simple knowledge. You will not fail.”

 

Jian Luo was speechless and choked: “I mean what if.”

 

“If you don’t have enough knowledge, I will give you supplementary lessons.” Zhan Wen’s face did not change: “It should be because I did not explain it to you thoroughly.”

 

“…”

 

I beg you.

 

I’m begging you, give up on me!

 

Jian Luo wanted to cry without tears, but he was sure that an old-fashioned and stubborn person like Zhan Wentai, who was insane, might really be able to do things like remedial lessons.

 

Forget it, in order to get out of class earlier, he should be more serious!

 

Zhan Wentai saw that Jian Luo’s face was pale for a while, and he said softly: “It’s okay if you failed the quiz today. I will teach you again.”

 

…

 

Okay then.

 

So for almost the entire morning and afternoon, Jian Luo was forced to immerse himself in the private tutoring and couldn’t extricate himself.

 

The afternoon test was finally over, and he left the temple in a hurry, no less urgent than when he had to go home after school.

 

“You’ve come back?”

 

As soon as he entered the shed, Wang Heng turned around.

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, and answered vaguely, “Well, um…”

 

Wang Heng scrutinized him, and his eyes gradually became darker: “I heard that the priest came to find you?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t want to hide it either: “Yes.”

 

Wang Heng’s tone of speech was stretched out: “You shouldn’t be…”

 

Jian Luo was a little nervous subconsciously. His adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he stammered, “Why not?”

 

Did Wang Heng find out about his pregnancy?

 

What should he do? It couldn’t be that he would have to teach him the method of treating infertility right now?

 

Aiyah, he doesn’t know either!

 

Wang Heng sneered: “You must be hooking up with the priest, right?”

 

…

 

Jian Luo was speechless: “Please wake up. How can I hook up with a successful priest? I am a human being. Don’t you dark star people have their own pride? Especially the priest, who is even more so, a phoenix among your kind? What do you think?”

 

Wang Heng sat in front of the cultivation warehouse: “I didn’t expect you to be quite self-aware.”

 

Jian Luo glared at him.

 

“However, if the priest is willing, we will not object.” Wang Heng actually changed his words for the first time: “After all, that adult has been single for hundreds of years, so it is not bad to try something else occasionally.”

 

…

 

Try your arse.

 

Jian Luo didn’t want to talk to the stupid alien at all. He returned to his pepper seedlings. According to the nutritional level of the nutrient solution, basically if there were no mishaps, the growth rate of the peppers would increase and their time of harvest would be shortened.

 

It will take about two or three days for them to grow into a mature little pepper, and then finally, he will be able to end his miserable and hard days of eating plain-tasting food.

 

“Beep.”

 

A sound came from his information bracelet.

 

Jian Luo opened the message and found that it was from Secretary Jin: “Luoluo, are you getting off work soon? I’ll pick you up.”

 

“Getting off soon.” Jian Luo replied to her, “I’ll wait for you.”

 

Secretary Jin responded cheerfully.

 

Actually, the duty of picking Jian Luo up wasn’t assigned to her, but she was restless this morning, only to find out that Jian Luo went live!

 

Woohoo, the rice crackers were really delicious. It can be said to be the most delicious in the world, but unfortunately she didn’t manage to participate in the lottery. In the end, she could only use the holographic taste tester to quench her cravings, but it had the opposite effect. Not only was it not enjoyable, but it made her want to eat the damned thing more!

 

After half an hour.

 

Jian Luo got into Secretary Jin’s car.

 

Secretary Jin said, “The marshal has a meeting. I’ll take you in and wait for a while.”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

Secretary Jin began to hint frantically: “That, Luoluo, I watched your live broadcast and the fried rice crackers you made this morning were delicious.”

 

Jian Luo was a little embarrassed: “Thank you.”

 

“…”

 

Secretary Jin was silent for a while: “Don’t be humble, it’s really delicious. It’s the best thing I’ve eaten in a while.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “That’s good.”

 

Secretary Jin gave up, it seemed that Jian Luo couldn’t sense her intention at all. Uhuhuhuu, she didn’t dare to say that she wanted to eat it, otherwise the marshal would definitely roast her dragon tendons alive.

 

Of course he knew this.

 

Jian Luo added, “If you want to eat some, I’ll make it for you next time.”

 

???

 

Secretary Jin was overjoyed: “Really?!”

 

Jian Luo nodded and thought for a while: “Isn’t he just in a meeting? That’s fine. I’ll go to the kitchen to make something to eat later, and I’ll make you one along the way.”

 

Secretary Jin was ecstatic: “Thank you Luoluo!”

 

Heheheh.

 

From now on, you will be officially designated as the marshal’s wife in my heart.

 

Jian Luo sat lazily on the seat and said casually, “No need for thanks. You already take good care of me, it’s just a little effort on my part.”

 

“This is what I should do,” said Secretary Jin.

 

“This can’t be used as a reason for me to accept your help confidently.” Jian Luo’s eyes had a faint smile: “Chinese people pay attention to relationships.”

 

?

 

Secretary Jin wondered: “Chinese?”

 

Jian Luo subconsciously forgot his words for a second and said vaguely: “It’s just something I saw in a book, about a country from the past on earth.”

 

Secretary Jin understood: “It seems that you like that country very much.”

 

Jian Luo nodded and smiled: “I love that land.”

 

This may sound a little unreasonable. After all, Secretary Jin thinks, how much love can a person have for a country from a book?

 

Nowadays, many people on earth, after a hundred years of changes, do not have much impression of or feelings for their home planet, but when Secretary Jin looked into Jian Luo’s eyes, she clearly felt solemn sincerity from those eyes.

 

Secretary Jin laughed: “I think it must be very charming. If I have the chance, I really want to go take a look.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “Then it will definitely welcome you. It is a country of etiquette, full of tolerance. Even if you are a foreign race, you will receive hospitality.”

 

Secretary Jin felt: “It’s worth it for the dark star people to learn this.”

 

“I think so too.”

 

The two of them both had their own thoughts, and they stopped after a few more exchanges. The military canteen had a high security level and strictly, no outsiders were allowed to enter, but to Jian Luo, it was as familiar as his own home.

 

After making the rice crackers, he packed the box and walked towards Lu Shifeng’s office where Secretary Jin and his assistant usually are.

 

“Verification successful, please pass.”

 

Jian Luo passed the door of light and walked slowly inside.

 

Secretary Jin was stunned when he saw him: “So soon?!”

 

Carrying the lunch box, Jian Luo hesitated, “Maybe I shouldn’t have been so fast?”

 

“…No.” Secretary Jin’s heart was suddenly racing: “Well, Luoluo, you can join me for dinner.”

 

Jian Luo shook his head: “I also brought a meal for the marshal. It won’t taste good if it’s cold, so let’s give it to him first.”

 

Secretary Jin panicked even more: “That, Luoluo… Otherwise, I’ll send it in, you wait for me outside.”

 

?

 

A question mark slowly appeared above Jian Luo’s head: “What’s the matter?”

 

Secretary Jin wanted to cry without tears. No one expected the little princess of the blood clan to come back today. There was no one who didn’t know that she liked the marshal. As the matter of Jian Luo’s pregnancy was not made public in order to ensure Luoluo’s personal safety, so naturally, the princess came to find out more as usual.

 

With these two people under the same roof at the moment, who knows what will happen?

 

If you go in after a while and accidentally see something you shouldn’t see, wouldn’t you turn cold?

 

Secretary Jin bit the bullet and said, “It’s not that you can’t go in. The marshal is busy with business now, so…”

 

Jian Luo understood, and he gave the lunch box to Secretary Jin: “Okay, then you can help me go in and pass it to him.”

 

Secretary Jin was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief: “Okay, don’t worry. I’ll send it in, in a moment.”

 

Jian Luo nodded, and was just about to move to the reception room next door, when suddenly, the door to the office opened.

 

There were two figures standing at the door.

 

A lively and lovely girl stood behind Lu Shifeng. The girl whimpered, “Brother Lu, I have carefully prepared dishes for you. You must eat them later.”

 

The not-so-soft voice came over clearly, and everyone could hear it clearly.

 

Secretary Jin’s face sank.

 

Lu Shifeng’s gaze looked over precisely and fell on Jian Luo, who was standing there. Today, the youth was wearing the same white shirt from the other day, looking cute and well-behaved.

 

Jian Luo raised his head and said hello, “Hi.”

 

The little princess’ face changed: “Who is he?”

 

Lu Shifeng ignored her and walked slowly to Jian Luo. The man looked down at him: “You came to find me?”

 

Jian Luo innocently blinked: “Did I disturb you from your business talk?”

 

Secretary Jin’s heart skipped a beat.

 

Indeed.

 

Lu Shifeng turned his face away slowly and gave the innocent secretary a deep look, with a half-smile which was not a smile, making her feel a chill down her spine.

 

Lu Shifeng said in a deep voice, “You’re not disturbing. Just in time.”

 

The little princess came out from behind and was very curious: “Hey, you are a human. Who are you? Hey, the smell on your body is so familiar.”

 

Before Lu Shifeng could speak, Jian Luo replied, “I’m a cook.”

 

“…”

 

There was a dead silence in the air.

 

Lu Shifeng took the lunch box that Jian Luo was carrying and stood there indifferently, neither denying nor admitting anything.

 

The little princess suddenly realized: “So it is you!”

 

Jian Luo nodded and turned to leave: “Then you are busy, I will go first.”

 

“Stop.” Before he took two steps, Lu Shifeng’s voice came from behind him, and the stern man took two steps to stand beside Jian Luo: “There is a dinner party in the palace tonight, I will take you there to attend it.”

 

The little princess refused: “What are you taking the cook to do?”

 

Can’t blame her for being excited. Lu Shifeng has always been a loner. Since when did he have a relationship with a cook, who was furthermore a human being? Could it be that this human has used some underhanded tricks?

 

As she was thinking about it, the little princess never expected Jian Luo to say, “I’m not going, it’s no fun.”

 

?

 

The little princess was shocked!

 

This human being was too ignorant of praise, he rejected Lu Shifeng!

 

OK, you’re too cold.

 

However, Lu Shifeng was patient: “Just now, Zhan Wentai came to tell me the news and said that he felt that he did not explain some things well enough to you today. If you don’t go to the reception, he says he still wants to give you another lesson.”

 

…

 

Jian Luo immediately changed his words: “I really want to go to the c0cktail party.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a smile: “Good.”

 

The little princess next to him was still shocked the whole time. Seeing that Lu Shifeng was leaving with Jian Luo, she quickly said, “Hey, Brother Lu, wait for me.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Secretary Jin will send you back.”

 

The little princess was very puzzled: “What about you? Don’t you want to go back to the palace? Aren’t we on the way?”

 

“Who told you to stop by?” Lu Shifeng glanced at Jian Luo: “Can’t you see that I still have a meal to eat?”

 

“…”

 

She had enough.

 

So the little princess left in a daze.

 

Jian Luo felt very strange: “Are you not going to eat at the reception? Don’t eat the rice crackers in this box.”

 

Lu Shifeng carried the box: “Eat this first. You won’t be used to eating things from the blood clan, unless you are also interested in nutrient solution.”

 

Jian Luo immediately changed his words: “I’ll eat too.”

 

If the little emperor knew that someone had eaten and drank a full meal before going to the c0cktail party of the blood clan in order not to eat the things prepared at the c0cktail party, he would be very angry.

 

This reception was held very grandly. Because it was the coming-of-age banquet of the little princess, almost all the influential figures in the empire came.

 

It was the first time that Jian Luo had seen so many dark stars gathered together.

 

As one of the three major forces of the empire and as the rightful leader of the military, almost as soon as Lu Shifeng entered the location, he attracted everyone’s attention.

 

Jian Luo lowered his voice: “Go and chat with them. I’ll play with myself for a while.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him: “Don’t go too far.”

 

“Don’t worry.” Since Jian Luo knew that his dragon cubs were not so fragile, he let go: “I won’t go far, I don’t know anyone here.”

 

Lu Shifeng made an “En” sound.

 

After all, there was still his scent. The dragon clan were very sensitive to the scents and he will be able to know easily if Jian Luohad left the reception. Even if he was not in front of him, Lu Shifeng can easily sense Jian Luo’s current conditions through his scent.

 

Jian Luo simply wandered around by himself.

 

As a human being, in a place like this, in fact, no matter where one went, one will get a lot of attention. A lot of wine was prepared for the reception, but Jian Luo didn’t drink it. After all, he still had a cub in his stomach so it was best not to touch this kind of thing. After walking around the food area for a long time, he finally understood what Lu Shifeng meant.

 

Why was the meat eaten by the blood race like steak not fully cooked?

 

Bloodstains could still be clearly seen on some meats, and Jian Luo himself could already smell its bloody scent from a distance.

 

“Aren’t these potato chips?”

“Seems to be.”

“Made by Moonlight, it smells so good.”

 

A short distance away, Jian Luo heard some chattering. He stopped and walked over. Sure enough, he saw the familiar potato chips.

 

Because he also talked about the method of making potato chips during the live broadcast, it is not surprising that someone else could make it as well, but he was also looking forward to the craftsmanship of the dark star people.

 

Just when Jian Luo wanted to get some to taste, he heard someone shout out: “Huh, a human?”

 

Jian Luo raised his head and saw a girl looking at him.

 

The corner of the woman’s mouth curled slightly: “Although I don’t know who brought you here, your clothes are too inappropriate, right?”

 

Jian Luo was wearing an ordinary white shirt, which seemed a little out of tune with the bright group of nobles, but he didn’t care: “Then you can treat me as if I weren’t here.”

 

The woman never expected this: “You…”

 

Jian Luo took some potato chips and tasted them. Chewing them in his mouth, it tasted almost the same, but felt a little mushy.

 

The woman sneered beside him: “You haven’t eaten such a good thing before, have you?”

 

Jian Luo fell silent for a moment.

 

“That’s understandable, after all, you are just a human being.” The woman’s attitude was quite arrogant: “Eat more, maybe next time you won’t be able to eat it again.”

 

“…”

Chapter 37 – Prenatal education

 

Jian Luo was now more comfortable with his situation, so if something happens, he will not be afraid. But now there is a problem in front of him he has to figure out first.

 

“Mom.” Jian Luo thought about it for a long time before asking, “As far as you can remember, is there any difference in my body… compared to before?”

 

Su Liang was taken aback: “There’s a difference?”

 

It seems that his hint was not working.

 

He had to find out if he actually transmigrated with his own body.

 

“Yes. When I was in a coma, did my body change after I came back?” Jian Luo said quickly, “For instance, there is something different from before, like a different mark or something.”

 

Su Liang froze, looking at Jian Luo in disbelief.

 

Jian Luo was flustered by the look in her eyes, so he said stubbornly, “I don’t mean anything by that. I was just asking.”

 

Su Liang lowered his eyes: “Luoluo, why are you suddenly bringing this up?”

 

“I…” Jian Luo racked his brain: “I think from that day onwards, my body feels a little wrong, so I wanted to ask you. You are my mother, so you must be more familiar with it.”

 

The two looked at each other.

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Half a second later

 

Su Liang sighed softly: “If you want to talk about what’s changed, there are indeed a few.”

 

Jian Luo asked her thoroughly: “What is it…”

 

“You didn’t have that birthmark on the front of your neck.” Su Liang thought for a while and then said, “You also used to like walking with your toes pointed inwards, but now you’ve changed.”

 

It was as he expected.

 

Mothers sure do know a lot more in detail.

 

It seems like he should still be in his real body. 

 

Jian Luo pursed his lips and said with difficulty: “Mom…”

 

“You’ve had an accident.” Su Liang was able to find more explanations than him: “It’s okay, whether it’s a problem or a small deal, just live a good life now.”

 

Jian Luo internally sighed, and he took Su Liang’s hands: “Mom, about my secret, on brother’s side…”

 

Su Liang understands: “Don’t worry about it. He lives on campus, so let’s hide it for the time being, or else I’ll have to think about it. Although there will come a day where we won’t be able to hide it.”

 

Jian Luo sighed: “That’s the only way.”

 

He still remembered that his younger brother said that he would become a soldier later, but his older brother slept with the military chief, which was supposed to be a good thing, but now that the matter has passed, it is useless to mention it anymore. After thinking about it, Jian Luo went back to his room. It is summer now and Peace Paradise is different from Sky City. It was on the ground, so there were a lot of mosquitoes.

 

Jian Luo peeled a plate of holy dragon fruit, lay down on the sofa, and checked some information while eating.

 

Suddenly, he received a message from Lu Shifeng: “What are you having for dinner?”

 

“Holy Dragon Fruit.” Jian Luo replied, “You don’t have to worry about my lack of food, I specialize in cooking.”

 

Lu Shifeng frowned: “You’re just eating that?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “The holy dragon fruit is quite nutritious, and, Marshal, do you dislike the fruit from the Dragon Valley so much?”

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t reply.

 

Jian Luo simply closed the dialog box. The toy he picked up during the day was a little rabbit. It was cute and was like a small pillow, so he simply took it and held it in his arms.

 

“The composition of the nutrient solution…” Jian Luo quickly read the message: “Could it be caused by the nutrient solution?”

 

The lightbrain said: “Nutrient solution is a universal high-nutrient liquid in the universe. Humans also take it.”

 

Oh yeah.

 

But humans are not facing infertility.

 

Jian Luo tapped his chin: “I’m afraid this is a bit difficult to solve.”

 

Thinking about it, there was a mosquito lying on Jian Luo’s shoulder, sucking his blood happily. Jian Luo slapped it without looking at it.

 

“Slap!”

 

The mosquito went silent.

 

Jian Luo sighed slowly: “Wherever I go, I can’t seem to evade you.”

 

After muttering, a video request was sent to him. Jian Luo’s hand shook, he panicked and pressed to answer the call.

 

Lu Shifeng’s face appeared on the screen

.

Jian Luo exhaled: “Why did you call me so suddenly?”

 

“Suddenly?” Lu Shifeng sat on the chair, resting his chin with one hand. There was a sneer in the corner of his mouth: “It seems that you didn’t read the message I sent you at all.”

 

…

 

Well, I closed it early.

 

Jian Luo coughed lightly: “What’s the matter?”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at his hand and frowned: “What’s in your hand?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo looked for the paper, wiped it lightly, and explained, “It’s just a mosquito, I just got bitten.”

 

From the video communication, he could clearly see Jian Luo’s upper body, and his pale shoulders were red, which must be caused by the mosquitoes.

 

Lu Shifeng frowned slightly: “There are mosquitoes in your house?”

 

Jian Luo wiped his hands clean and responded casually and confidently, “It’s summer now, isn’t it very common to have mosquitoes?”

 

He is used to living here, because it is almost impossible for Sky city to have mosquitoes. It is built mid-air. So not to mention mosquitoes, there are not even birds.

 

Lu Shifeng tapped the table with his fingertips: “Come here in two days.”

 

“…Do you have to move there?” Jian Luo wanted to struggle a little more: “It’s pretty good here, didn’t you say that the dragon cubs are very strong, and it can’t be hurt by a little trouble at all? Not to mention a bit of blood sucked by mosquitoes.”

 

Lu Shifeng said in a low voice, “If you move here, you can apply for a Dark Star household registration.”

 

Jian Luo’s face changed within a second and his attitude was good: “I’ll pack my luggage for every day.”

 

…

 

Lu Shifeng looked at Jian Luo with his eyelids low. He took a few glances and thought he was a bit interesting. If nothing else, he really likes Jian Luo. He knows about current affairs, has an edge above others and has a small temper, but when he sees something, he has no ambiguity in the matter.

 

This kind of person was an excellent choice, whether as a subordinate or a…

 

Jian Luo yawned: “I’m going to sleep.”

 

“En.” Lu Shifeng told him, “I’ll ask Secretary Jin to pick you up after work.”

 

Jian Luo responded casually: “Okay.”

 

Ever since he became pregnant, he has been particularly fond of sleeping. He didn’t seem to have done anything, but somehow he felt sleepy and tired.

 

Lu Shifeng watched him without turning off the video, as if waiting for Jian Luo to ask something.

 

Jian Luo just asked, “Aren’t you sleepy?”

 

…

 

Lu Shifeng was silent for a while: “Just go to sleep.”

 

“Okay!”

 

The next day.

 

The weather was sunny and Jian Luo, who didn’t sleep very well, woke up before dawn. He should have been in bed until 7 o’clock, which is when he went to work. It is now only 5 o’clock, but he is no longer sleepy.

 

Jian Luo resigned himself from the bed and decided to start a live broadcast and make his own rice crackers.

 

It was not yet bright outside, and the rice was steaming in the pot with a pre-set timer. When Jian Luo opened the pot, he could smell the fresh aroma of rice.

 

“Fragrant.”

 

The small ball for the live broadcast was placed under the cabinet. He bent down and took it out, adjusting the position of the small ball, and once again started to broadcast without any prior notice.

 

‌Early in the morning, when the live broadcast room first opened, there were only a few people:

“Anchor, I miss you!”

“It’s been a long time, I almost quit.”

“You are too much!”

“If you don’t livestream, we can’t buy what you make.”

 

Jian Luo once changed the products on the live broadcast room to be available for purchase within a time limit while viewing him online, so many customers who want to buy his products can only wait day and night for the anchor to start the broadcast.

 

Speaking of other anchors, they all start their broadcast on time every day, but Jian Luo is different. He did not do so on time every day, so it depended on luck whether one could enter his live broadcast room or not.

 

“Good morning to those at home, have you had breakfast?” Jian Luo waved to the live broadcast room: “Isn’t it right, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time. Today we are going to eat rice crackers.”

 

The number of people in the live broadcast room slowly increased:

“What’s a rice cracker?”

“Is it a firecracker?”

“No, can a human stomach swallow a firecracker?”

 

Jian Luo almost died of laughter when he saw the barrage. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “We’re not eating firecrackers, it’s rice crackers, um… In short, it’s a kind of rice, I’ll make it now.”

 

He shoveled the rice out of the pot, took some flour from the counter and went to the refrigerator to look for eggs. Last time, he bought a lot of ingredients, because he had looked around and found that there was only one egg left, and it was not enough. Fortunately, he was fine now and could use it.

 

“The rice should be mixed with the flour.” Jian Luo poured the wheat flour into it: “The amount of flour is also important, and this is enough.”

 

The people in the barrage felt dissatisfied:

“Waste of rice.”

“Anchor, why do you always make weird dishes?”

“Don’t talk, just watch.”

 

There were a lot of discussions in the barrage, but Jian Luo focused on cooking. His hands were slender and clean. After washing it, he began to add water. He stretched out his hands and began to knead the dough: “Wheat flour is supposed to complement this dish. If you are very particular, friends, remember to wear gloves.”

 

His hands were kneading the dough flexibly. When Jian Luo lowered his head, his face was clear and fair. With a clear voice: “It’s good to knead it into a ball.”

 

The sensory sharing for the live broadcast room opened and other viewers could naturally feel the sticky and greasy dough, which was very unbearable:

“I don’t eat these kinds of things.”

“It doesn’t look like it tastes good.”

“Forget it, I’m not watching.”

 

Jian Luo ignored them and continued to knead the dough. He was very hungry after working now, so he had already taken something out and put it aside to eat it for breakfast.

 

This morning, he was having the latest breakfast cake from Moonlight. It was only a little sweet and not particularly delicious, but it relieved his hunger. Jian Luo’s hands were busy, so he liked to lean down and take a piece using his mouth to chew slowly. It was quite hard.

 

The audience naturally noticed:

“What cake is this?”

“It looks delicious.”

“The taste is only a little sweet, but the anchor seems to be very hungry. When I am hungry, the food tastes more delicious, which makes me think it is delicious.”

“Asking for the link from the anchor!”

 

After taking a bite of the cake, Jian Luo looked back at the screen, and was surprised by a whole page worth of “send the link”.

 

“That.” Jian Luo explained dumbfoundedly: “I was not the one who sold this.”

 

The audiences asked where he bought it:

“It must be cheap, since humans can eat it.”

“I’ll buy two boxes.”

“I will go to the place and reluctantly try one.”

 

Jian Luo smiled, but he was not annoyed: “It’s Moonlight’s new product. Those who want to eat it have to buy it themselves. It’s still on the menu now.”

 

…

 

There was a moment of silence between the barrages.

 

There was no one who did not know where the Moonlight was. Even if you only drank a glass of water, it will set you back by four-digits.

 

Soon, some good people went to Baidu’s official website to check the price of this cake and got the shock of their lives:

“Friends, this cake was newly released yesterday!”

“It was still on pre-sale yesterday.”

“The anchor ate it today!”

 

…

 

Jian Luo didn’t watch the barrage, his crackers were about ready to get into the pot: “Let’s cut these doughs into about 30 grams each. Cut them into small pieces, or if you’re someone who likes to eat them as is, just press it with your hands.”

 

While talking, Jian Luo also used his fingers to give an example.

 

The oil in the pot was ready, so he moved a little further away before he poured all the cut parts of the dough down.

 

“Sizzle…”

 

The heat and splashing of the oil made others nervous. Jian Luo took the spatula and stirred it up: “It will be ready in a while.”

 

The audience in the barrage has already begun to analyze:

“I don’t know if you have noticed, but the place where the anchor broadcasts has changed twice.”

“Yes, twice!”

“Has anyone saved a screenshot?”

 

The audience began to guess randomly, and even guessed which cook Jian Luo had an affair with. Originally, everyone’s attention lingered here, but suddenly, an aroma came through.

 

The aroma of fried food was always piping hot and fiery, and it hit one’s stomach directly, like an unstoppable and open seduction.

 

Jian Luo smelled the greasiness and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable, but this feeling was fleeting and it was soon over. It seemed that small dragons were a little sensitive, so he coughed lightly: “It’s going to be ready to take out of the pot soon. Do you want me to put it on the online shop?”

 

When he finished his sentence, who can control the moonlight on the barrage:

“Suddenly, the barbecued meat in my mouth is not tasty anymore.”

“Put it on the shelf! I want to order it from the shelf!”

“This damn firecracker looks delicious as it is.”

 

…

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “It’s rice cracker.”

 

If one ate too much fried food, they will get tired, so Jian Luo has always limited the purchase amount. Some things are more fragrant if you can’t have them.

 

The rice cracker in the pot has already been completely fried.

 

The fragrance is overflowing, Jian Luo fished it out with a spoon, waited for it to cool, took a bite, it was crunchy and fragrant, the taste buds on the tip of the tongue seemed to be bathed in an extreme enjoyment, and the mouth would chew it repeatedly when chewing. This aroma, just one sip, is intoxicating.

 

The people in the barrage were almost going crazy:

“It smells good.”

“Don’t limit the purchase of rice crackers.”

“Wait, how did this thing come about, ah ah ah, it’s all your fault, I don’t remember it at all.”

“Don’t worry, there is a replay.”

“What’s the use of playback? My eyes say I understand, but my hands don’t.”

 

Jian Luo ate a few more before stopping. This kind of rice cracker is supposed to be an appetizer. It can’t make one full. If one eats too much, it’s like potato chips, it’s easy to get tired of it.

 

“I’ve put the flavour for testing on the shelves.” Jian Luo looked at the barrage: “Does anyone want to eat it? The postage is very expensive.”

 

The audience said they were not afraid of expensive things.

 

Jian Luo was shocked by their enthusiasm, so he had to say, “Well, then, shall I pick someone from today’s viewer list?”

 

The audience was shocked:

“Anchor, please wait.”

“Yes, yes, I’m going to top up some money and come back right away.”

“Anchor, you got my attention.”

 

As a result, early in the morning in Jinjiang, there was an inexplicable increase in the wave of top-ups, and many people fought hard to appear at the top of the lottery list.

 

One of the more important points Jian Luo mentionned was that he was only going to draw names from the gift list in order to attract people to donate money. Did that also mean that even if they donated just a little, they could also stand a chance at being chosen?

 

At this time, even people who had no money rushed to donate a few dollars:

“Wait, why can’t I enter the recharge page?”

“I’ve been spinning in circles, too.”

“It prompted me to a refresh failed page.”

“Why is Jinjiang so laggy?”

 

Early in the morning, before Jiang Jiang went to work, the server started ringing. It crashed when a streamer wanted to draw a lottery.

 

Jiang Jiang: “……”

 

I’m screwed.

 

No one was satisfied about the chaotic lottery draw. Jian Luo finally chose a person, asked the other party for their address and planned to mail it when he went to work today.

 

As soon as he went out, there was a car parked outside.

 

The driver was a soldier. He said, “Hello, Mr. Jian Luo. I’m in charge of escorting you today.”

 

Jian Luo was shy: “Why are you serving me?”

 

“It’s only natural,” the driver said. “I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”

 

Jian Luo got into the car and asked, “Then can you help me send something? Or you can just drop me off after you send me to the post office, and I’ll go by myself.”

 

How could the driver let him go by himself? He quickly said: “It’s all right, just give it to me, I’ll help you!”

 

This object of the marshal’s must be something important to be mailed.

 

This is undoubtedly out of trust in him. There was no doubt that high hopes had been placed on him.

 

With a smile on his face, Jian Luo handed over the rice that he packed long ago: “Well, this is it. It’s to be sent to my fans. Sorry for your troubles.”

 

“…”

 

At the seed cultivation base.

 

It is estimated that the chili peppers should have broken soil today. Jian Luo wandered in early in the morning and saw Wang Heng squatting on the ground like he had not woken up, which was very scary.

 

Jian Luo raised his voice: “Why are you squatting there!”

 

Wang Heng was shocked and jumped up like a thief, annoyed: “Aren’t you the one walking silently? You shocked me.”

 

Jian Luo ignored him: “What are you doing sneaking around?”

 

“What can I do?” Wang Heng glanced at the ground: “Well, your peppers have sprouted.”

 

!!!

 

Jian Luo didn’t care about him anymore. He trotted over and squatted by the dirt, looking at the small sprouts, with a smile on his face: “It’s time to adjust the temperature.”

 

Wang Heng was finally convinced: “I read the information that this thing is red and shriveled. It should have no edible value. Why did you have to cultivate this first?”

 

“What do you know?” Jian Luo said while adjusting the temperature: “It does have no edible value, but without it, everything with edible value will be tasteless.”

 

…

 

Wang Heng really didn’t understand.

 

Jian Luo explained more about the pepper: “It will become more critical now. I’ll go get some fertilizer.”

 

The seed cultivation base is very large, and it was also used by many different departments. For example, Jian Luo’s group cultivated the seeds of human beings. It didn’t receive a lot of attention, but the other groups are also just relatively good. Just spill, with what kind of new planting seeds are being cultivated, how powerful can the chili peppers be?

 

When Jian Luo went to get the fertilizer, he was greeted with cold eyes: “What fertilizer does this vegetable need? Isn’t it all planted in nutrient water? You have to put it in the soil so it can survive?”

 

“I’m tired of the nutrient water and I want to change its environment.” Jian Luo smiled: “It’s already sprouted after all.”

 

…

 

Jian Luo started fertilizing the plant. Wang Heng’s cabbage from before was rejuvenated by his wonderful hand, and because Wang Heng was proven wrong, he didn’t stay in the shed and went to study.

 

Fertilizing was an easy job.

 

After all, Jian Luo only had a few seedlings to take care of.

 

After finishing his work, he was basically free, but he received a private message from Kazuki as soon as he came back. She asked, “Did you advertise for Moonlight?”

 

Jian Luo was stunned: “I didn’t.”

 

“What’s the matter? As soon as they opened this morning, the traffic of customers was twice as much as usual, and they only ordered a cake.” Kazuki explained, perplexed: “They said they all saw it from Jinjiang. An anchor ate it so they came over.”

 

When Jian Luo thought about it, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Well, that’s really my fault then.”

 

Kazuki smiled and said: “I didn’t blame you. I mean, you are really amazing. I finally understand why the boss was willing to support you.”

 

“…”

 

Girl, pay attention to your words.

 

Jian Luo replied seriously: “It’s true that I work for the boss, but I didn’t work for nothing. I wasn’t really supported.”

 

Kazuki smiled and said, “I understand, I understand. By the way, the boss asked me to pick you up for lunch today.”

 

Jian Luo thought about the table of meat, and also how Nie Yan always rambled on. Feeling a headache, he said: “I won’t go, I’ll bring my own food.”

 

Kazuki was stunned: “Really?”

 

God, she was so amused to hear the boss being rejected. Thinking that their boss was the richest man in the world. Just how many men and women wanted to be the boss’s wife?

 

Jian Luo simply said, “Really.”

 

Kazuki said with a smile: “Okay, I’ll tell the boss in a bit.”

 

The conversation between the two was almost over, so Jian Luo closed the communication panel, cleared up his thoughts and prepared to think about what to eat for lunch.

 

As he was thinking about it, a figure appeared outside. Jian Luo recognized this person, he had seen him several times.

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It’s you.”

 

Zhan Wentai nodded. The priest’s white robes seemed out of place. He said, “I wanted to talk to you.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo asked, “What do you want to talk about?”

 

“This is not the place to talk.” Zhan Wentai reached out to him: “I’ll take you somewhere else.”

 

Jian Luo grabbed his hand and stood up with some strength: “But if I leave my post without permission, it will not be good, let me tell the higher-ups first?”

 

“No.” Zhan Wentai said in a low voice, “I already told them.”

 

…

 

All right.

 

Jian Luo followed him. The seed cultivating base was not far from the temple on the priest’s side. The more he walked, the closer he was to the temple, which made him a little nervous.

 

Jian Luo was uneasy: “Well…what are you going to do?”

 

Zhan Wentai noticed his nervousness: “Don’t worry, it’s just a chat. I won’t do anything to you.”

 

“…”

 

I’m more worried now.

 

There were people coming and going, stopping to greet Zhan Wentai respectfully when they saw him:

“Hello, great priest.”

“Greetings, priest, your greatness.”

“Greeting the great priest.”

 

The more Jian Luo listened, the more wrong he felt. Originally, he felt that there were so many priests here, and the one in front of him should also be an ordinary member, but who knew that all these people here suddenly added the word “great” when addressing him?

 

“That.” Jian Luo secretly poked: “I want to ask, is your name Zhan Wentai?”

 

Zhan Wentai nodded.

 

“…Then you have something to do involving me?”

 

This turned out to be the legendary Zhan Wentai who was influential, was also a cool leader who knew astronomy and geography? Shouldn’t he have been an old man with a long, white beard?

 

Zhan Wentai said calmly: “I have discussed with Your Majesty, since the cubs you are carrying will be the first case of birth in thousands of years, in order to allow the child to grow up healthy and strong, I…”

 

Jian Luo: “What?”

 

“I want to give you prenatal education about the child.” Zhan Wentai’s tone couldn’t help but contain some caution: “You can relax, only I can give the child the best education.”

Chapter 36 – Be good and follow the marshal

 

Jian Luo finished counting and came to a conclusion: “There were probably three.”

 

Lu Shifeng sneered: “That little?”

 

…

 

After hearing that tone, Jian Luo felt the need to look up. When he looked up, he saw that Marshal Lu was looking at him with a half-hearted smile. Although he was not angry or murderous, he still made Jian Luo feel like a threatened small animal.

 

Crap.

 

Did he rub salt into a wound?

 

After thinking about it, how could a serious man like Lu Shifeng have someone adequate for him as his match? He probably did not rub salt on his wound, right?

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo hurriedly changed his words: “It’s a lot. I think it is enough.”

 

Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes: “Three is enough?”

 

…

 

Those were some threatening words.

 

Jian Luo felt stressed, so he bit the bullet and said, “But in the end we all broke up.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him and Jian Luo hurriedly lowered his head to eat the cloud fruit, pretending that nothing happened, in an attempt to get this over with.

 

“Why?”

 

Lu Shifeng felt that it was necessary to explore the inside life of his junior.

 

Jian Luo didn’t expect the marshal to be quite gossipy, but it was nothing so he said bluntly, “Because of my family situation.”

 

…

 

His family was from the countryside, but after that, he secretly broadcast live to make money, so he delayed his studies.

 

Jian Luo’s appearance is not bad. His cooking was also not bad, and his temperament was good too, so he is naturally quite popular, but no matter who it was, once they knew his poor family’s origins, who would be willing to be with him and settle down?

 

After one or two times, Jian Luo himself figured out that sweet love cannot change his situation at all, so the most important thing was to make money.

 

Lu Shifeng’s voice went lower: “Did you date dark stars?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, before nodding foolishly: “Forget it, you also know the conditions of my family. It’s like that. It can’t be changed.”

 

Lu Shifeng gave him a deep look.

 

Jian Luo still lowered his head and continued to eat the cloud fruit with a handsome face full of satisfaction and all his concentration on his food. There was no other expression on his face. Inexplicably, Marshal Lu felt that he should say something.

 

“If you can’t change others, you can change yourself.” Lu Shifeng led him to a bustling street in the shopping mall: “When you can rise beyond your family status, you will not be restrained by it.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “People’s discrimination against other races can’t be changed no matter how good you are. For example, Marshal, if it were between you and me, don’t you mind?”

He only asked half-jokingly.

 

He didn’t expect an answer.

 

A child ran past them playfully in the mall, almost bumping into Jian Luo. Lu Shifeng quickly pulled him by his side.

 

The cloud fruit in Jian Luo’s hand fell.

 

As the snow-white cloud fruit fell to the ground, a robot not far away came over to clean it up automatically and then left on its own.

 

Jian Luo sighed, “What a pity.”

 

Lu Shifeng pulled him away: “I will buy another one for you.”

 

“No need.” Jian Luo stretched his waist: “It’s good to just have a bite. It tastes like cotton candy, not bad.”

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t ask what cotton candy was.

 

The two quickly went to a clothing store. Jian Luo didn’t plan to go in, but Lu Shifeng led him in.

 

There was a dazzling array of clothes in the store and clothes for all ages and styles. The dark stars were generally tall and big, so the size of their clothes were also similar. The dark stars also had another strange quirk, they liked red. The color purple mades the clothes in the store more striking to the eyes.

 

The server greeted him: “Hello, welcome.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “He is going to choose.”

 

“I’m choosing?” Jian Luo and Lu Shifeng looked at each other. He sighed after confirming that the man wasn’t joking, “Okay.”

 

He turned around and his eyes fell on a suit.

 

The colors available for this suit were plain black or white. The black one was bigger and looked upright and serious, while the white one was much plainer. However, because it was a small size, it was almost just right.

 

Jian Luo pointed to the white: “I want to try that one.”

 

The server was slightly surprised and repeatedly confirmed, “Are you sure you want that one?”

 

“I can’t?”

 

“It’s not like that…” The server smiled awkwardly: “That pair of clothes should be a parent-child outfit.”

 

…

 

The atmosphere fell silent.

 

He felt offended.

 

Not far away, the lazy marshal’s mouth curled into a smile: “The parent-child outfit is good, let him try it.”

 

The corner of Jian Luo’s mouth twitched.

 

The server obediently walked over and took off the white suit and handed it to Jian Luo: “Go to the fitting room and try it on.”

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay.”

 

She quickly came back wearing a new white suit. The small shirt was small and fitted him. The fabric was comfortable. Jian Luo smiled with his red lips and white teeth. He looked younger. After wearing it, he seemed to have lost several years.

 

“It’s very beautiful.” The server complimented him beside him: “You wear it well.”

 

Jian Luo also thought it was quite fitting, so he asked, “How much is this?”

 

The server said with difficulty: “Because it is a set, we can’t sell it separately. If you want to order one, you may have to buy them both together.”

 

Jian Luo nodded and understood, he said, “How much are the two together?”

 

“It’s not expensive.” The server smiled: “The total price of this set is 160,000 star dollars. Do you want to swipe your card?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo said in a deep voice, “Does your white suit come in purple?”

 

The server nodded her head: “Yes.”

 

“How about green?”

 

“We have it.”

 

“Are there any multi-colored ones?”

 

“No.”

 

Jian Luo was satisfied: “I just want to buy multi-colored ones. Since you don’t have them, it’s a pity. Let’s talk about it next time.”

 

“…”

 

While Lu Shifeng was handling his own official business, he listened to Jian Luo’s silly remarks not far away. The man lifted his eyelids and said to the server, “This set, wrap it up.”

 

Server: “Okay!”

 

Jian Luo was stunned. He trotted over and whispered into Lu Shifeng’s ear: “Forget it, it’s too expensive, I know a place that is cheaper.”

 

Lu Shifeng put away the information screen in front of him: “No need, we’re getting this.”

 

“…”

 

How capricious.

 

Jian Luo felt stuffy. Seeing that the man in the strict military uniform suddenly had another idea, he smiled slyly: “Hey, did you hear? She said that it was a parent-child outfit just now.”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at him sideways: “I will have to buy the small dragons clothes at some point.”

 

“I don’t mean that!” Jian Luo felt that he had to be straight with him: “I mean, why don’t you try the black one?”

 

Lu Shifeng refused: “Do you think I might need a suit for some occasion?”

 

It seemed to make sense.

 

The marshal won’t need to wear casual clothes.

 

But Jian Luo still wanted to try a little harder: “Then, if you don’t need it, why did you come shopping with me now? Just change up your style, you’ll look friendlier.”

 

Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes: “I don’t look friendly?”

 

“…”

 

What a tricky situation

 

The enemy will cry if they heard this. Secretary Jin would be silent.

 

Jian Luo bit the bullet, ignoring his conscience: “Kind, you definitely look kind, I mean. But you will look more kind. If you don’t like it, forget it. I can’t wear it anyway, I’ll give it to someone else next time.”

 

He meant to give it to Jiang Jiang, or to Wang Heng?

 

Unexpectedly, after Lu Shifeng listened, his breathing became even more tense. The man sneered: “To whom, your boss, or to that old phoenix?”

 

Jian Luo was taken aback: “Who?”

 

There was an unknown bitter scent in the air.

 

Lu Shifeng stood up and walked in front of the server. Even though he only walked normally, he held the same pressure he used to go into battle and kill the enemy. The server shivered, “D-do you need anything else? “

 

“The black one.” Lu Shifeng pointed, “Give it to me.”

 

The server quickly handed it over.

 

After Lu Shifeng took it, he turned around and entered the fitting room. The marshal has appeared in various places for so many years. But none of them was without his usual military uniform.

 

But how powerful was this little human being? After only a few words, the marshal went to change his clothes.

 

Jian Luo sat in a chair and waited for some response.

 

After a while, the curtain was opened and Lu Shifeng walked out. The marshal changed his old-fashioned military uniform and wore a black long-sleeved sweater, which looked very fashionable. He was usually lazy and complacent. Now that his usual and stereotypical military uniform was gone, they both felt somewhat closer.

 

Jian Luo’s adam’s apple bobbed up and down: “So handsome.”

 

Lu Shifeng put his general outfit in his storage bracelet and walked in front of Jian Luo: “Are we closer now?”

 

“…”

 

It can’t be that all this time you were after this!

 

Jian Luo took a second look at the beautiful sight and swallowed: “Close, very close.”

 

There were other clothes in the store that had not been tried on. The server could now see who the one holding the gold was, so she said to Jian Luo: “Do you want to try other styles? It will suit you very well.”

 

Standing in front of the chairs, the two people in parent-child suits, one tall and one short, turned around at the same time.

 

Before Jian Luo could speak, he heard Lu Shifeng say, “For the suitable ones, send it to an address, directly to me. You don’t need to try it on.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo was shocked.

 

Lu Shifeng just looked down at him: “Let’s go.”

 

“…Oh.”

 

The two of them walked out. The mall is very lively. Many people came and went in pairs. Naturally, there were also many small games that attracted people’s attention.

 

When passing a stall, Jian Luo unconsciously stopped.

 

There were a lot of cute little toys hanging in the shed. Jian Luo stopped: “What is this?”

 

With one glance, the stall owner saw this gullible customer and said brightly: “Do you want to come and play?”

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “How do you play this?”

 

“It’s very simple, do you see the gun next to you?” The stall introduced brightly: “As long as you can hit all the balloons on the wall over there with your gun, you can choose a toy from us.”

 

Jian Luo had a hard time: “But I don’t need it.”

 

He naturally thought about this situation and explained: “Just take this to aim. Pull the trigger and you will be able to use it, it’s quite simple!”

 

“Really?” Jian Luo was moved, he looked at Lu Shifeng: “Let’s go play!”

 

Lu Shifeng casually said, “En.”

 

Marshal Lu was sitting on a chair not far away. His child in the parent-child suit happily took up a gun and aimed it at the balloons.

 

“Bang!”

 

A shot went off but the balloons did not pop.

 

Jian Luo was stunned. He felt that he had clearly aimed properly so how could it have missed. Not even once did it hit.

 

He thought of trying it again. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo carefully picked up the gun. This time he was very focused when he aimed at the balloon. Calmly, after taking two breaths, he finally pulled the trigger.

 

“Bang!”

 

Another crisp gunshot rang out.

 

After everything calmed down, the balloon, which was still unharmed, was still properly hung on the wall, as if mocking Jian Luo silently.

 

Jian Luo pursed his lips and relentlessly fired a few more shots. After a while, there was no  more balloons as the time was over.

 

The stall owner shouted: “If you want to play, you have to pay more to renew the time.”

 

Jian Luo said quickly, “I don’t want to play anymore.”

 

“You can try again.” With a greedy smile on his face, he didn’t forget to say, “It’s good to try again, isn’t it?”

 

“…”

 

Forget it, I’m afraid it won’t work.

 

Jian Luo put the gun back, returned to Lu Shifeng’s side dejectedly, and sat down with a sigh like a depressed puppy.

 

Lu Shifeng looked at him from the side: “Don’t want to play anymore?”

 

“What is there to play?” Jian Luo pouted: “The balloons are too hard to hit.”

 

I don’t know if it was his imagination, but Lu Shifeng seemed to have a smile on his lips. He slowly thought about it, feeling that this was not a normal occurrence at all.

 

Jian Luo was depressed: “Let’s go.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, the two dark stars not far away walked to the console, muttering something:

“Did you see that person just now?”

“He was so bad, I’m not too shy to say it.”

“It was so terrible that it’s shameful.”

 

Jian Luo looked over in disbelief. He was in a very depressed mood at first, but he never thought that she would be slapped by other people’s words.

 

Lu Shifeng originally had a smile on his face, but after listening to the conversation, his smile gradually cooled.

 

Jian Luo didn’t want to stay here anymore, so he said, “Well, why don’t we…”

 

Originally, Jian Luo wanted to persuade the marshal to leave, but who knew that Lu Shifeng stood up, went to the stall, paid the money, and walked directly to the console.

 

The two dark stars who were talking were picking the guns. One of them was a fat man. He looked at one of them and just as he was about to reach for it, it was taken by someone else first.

 

“Hey, you, didn’t you see that it was supposed to be my pick?”

 

The fat man was muttering, but as soon as he raised his head and met Lu Shifeng’s gaze, those extremely cold eyes, looking down from high up, seemed very oppressive.

 

“You, you…” The fat man stiffened: “M-Marshal?”

 

Lu Shifeng skillfully assembled the gun and responded lightly.

 

The fat man didn’t notice Lu Shifeng just now, so he stammered: “Do you want to play? You should go first.”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted the gun. The man’s posture was steady. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the balloon on the wall not far away. There was a long distance between them but he didn’t need to hesitate at all.

 

“Bang!”

 

Several gunshots cut through the air, attracting others to stop and watch.

 

No bullets missed and almost as long as the bullets were fired, all the balloons burst in response. The excellent results were astounding. Lu Shifeng put down his gun.

 

The fat man next to him complimented him: “You are too good.”

 

“Not at all.” Lu Shifeng’s mouth curled into a sneer: “I’m so bad. I’m not too shy to say it.”

 

As soon as these words were said, the fat man subconsciously looked not far away and saw Jian Luo sitting on a chair. His head buzzed on the spot. Jian Luo was not standing with Lu Shifeng just now. But after piercing it together, he didn’t think that they both knew each other!

 

Lu Shifeng said in a low voice, “What are you looking at?”

 

The cold sweat behind the fat man came, and compared to Lu Shifeng unless he was crazy, the man stammered: “Do, do you know him? What’s your relationship?”

 

You have to die to find out.

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows noncommittally and asked slowly, “Didn’t you see our matching clothes?”

 

…

 

???

 

P-parent and child?

 

The fat man looked at Lu Shifeng in disbelief and said cleverly, “Yes, I’m sorry.”

 

Lu Shifeng turned away without looking at him.

 

Jian Luo sat on the chair and waited. Seeing him coming back, he praised him familiarly: “You were so handsome just now!”

 

Lu Shifeng smiled and said nothing.

 

“But there’s no need for it.” Jian Luo sighed: “Even if you help me, he still thinks I’m bullying him. He doesn’t really know what he did wrong.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s footsteps stopped and the man looked at Jian Luo meaningfully.

 

Jian Luo was stunned. He hesitantly looked at Lu Shifeng and sighed: “Why, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a smile and the man said slowly, “The ability to bully others also comes with power.”

 

“…”

 

I thank you.

 

In the end, Jian Luo got his own little toy. He was not so naive. He just remembered when he was a child, his family was poor. When he picked up a toy on the roadside, after just having it for a while, it was snatched away.

 

He had a younger brother and sister at home.

 

His adoptive mother always said this one sentence: “What about your younger brother and sister, go to work!”

 

It was difficult for others to understand.

 

It may be impossible for one to completely forget their painful childhood.

 

…

 

In the evening.

 

Sitting in the car, Jian Luo said to Lu Shifeng, “I haven’t been home for several days. I want to go back and take a look. I didn’t know what happened to my mother after we were separated.”

 

Lu Shifeng said to him, “I asked her to come to Sky city but she doesn’t want to. She wants to live in the same place.”

 

Jian Luo was stunned.

 

Thinking about it, Su Liang may not feel safe there either.

 

“I want to go back and see her.” Jian Luo looked sideways at Lu Shifeng: “Can I?”

 

Lu Shifeng was easier to talk to than Jian Luo imagined. The man said, “Yes.”

 

???

 

How good.

 

Jian Luo laughed: “I thought you wanted to say no because you’re afraid that I’ll walk around and have a miscarriage or something.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, the man gave him a cold glance.

 

Lu Shifeng said slowly: “Dragon cubs have strong physiques even in the embryo. You don’t have to worry about that. As long as you don’t commit suicide or go on a hunger strike, they won’t die.”

 

“…”

 

No wonder.

 

No wonder the lightbrain said before that even if the little dragon is hungry and has nothing to eat, they can still rely on his blood to support themselves and continue to survive. The fact was clearly in front of him, even if his body was fragile, the dragon cub will be fine. Others were doing well. They still had blood to drink and are very tenacious.

 

Jian Luo sighed.

 

Lu Shifeng said to the driver, “Go to Peace Paradise.”

 

The driver responded, turning around decisively and heading for Peace Paradise. The luxury car drove very steadily and Jian Luo was about to fall asleep again.

 

At this time, his sleeping appearance was slightly worse, with his head leaning to one side, quite rhythmic bumping up and down.

 

Lu Shifeng watched, before simply stretching out his hand to hold Jian Luo’s head so that the young man could lean on him and sleep more peacefully.

 

“We’ve arrived.”

 

The driver in front spoke.

 

Jian Luo, who was awakened by the sound, sat up at once. He looked out through the window of the luxury car and found that they were indeed at Peace Paradise. He was relieved.

 

Lu Shifeng said: “I’ll keep my people here. Just call if you need them.”

 

Jian Luo looked around suspiciously but didn’t see anyone.

 

“When you need them, they will appear.” Lu Shifeng seemed to see through his thoughts: “Of course, you can also contact me through the bracelet.”

 

Jian Luo nodded his obedient head.

 

He got off and waved goodbye to Lu Shifeng before entering the house. The small yard looked the same as before. He pushed open the door and walked in as usual: “Mom?”

 

After a long while.

 

A woman came out from the bedroom. Su Liang looked at him in surprise: “Luoluo.”

 

“Mom.” Jian Luo smiled slightly: “I’m back.”

 

Su Liang pulled him, looked at him up and down before finally heaving a sigh of relief: “Child, you really worried your mother to death. Why are you only coming back now?”

 

Jian Luo sat down on the sofa: “It was too late to come home yesterday. I was worried about disturbing your rest.”

 

Su Liang sighed, obviously thinking about something else.

 

“Luoluo.” Su Liang held his hand: “Is it true, between you and… the marshal?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t want to lie to her: “It is true.”

 

…

 

The room fell into silence.

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I’ve figured it out already. He only likes his children and he just wants his children. I’ll leave when the cub issue is over.”

 

Su Liang’s eyes were red.

 

“Oh, don’t be like this.” Jian Luo pretended to be relaxed: “Don’t you think I’m fine?”

 

The two of them knew that this matter was not simple. After all, the dark stars would definitely not let him go easily. If no one else could conceive a child, the consequences might be more severe than anyone could imagine.

 

Su Liang was also sensible. Before, she persuaded Jian Luo to leave Lu Shifeng, and he promised, but now she said, “Luoluo, you can’t leave.”

 

Jian Luo was silent for a moment.

 

“You have to be good and follow Marshal Lu.” Su Liang said softly, “I can see that he is not the kind of person who is unwilling to take responsibility. As long as you can get him, there will be no more danger in the future!”

 

“…”

 

Really? Even my mother.

 

Jian Luo thought about it and finally said slowly, “I have to think about it.”

 

It seems that even if he doesn’t want to, he has to actively act like an enthusiastic citizen and help the dark stars to recuperate their bodies. As long as their infertility is cured, everything can be solved.

 

Of course, before that, he still has one thing to solve.
