Chapter 30 – There are several cubs

 

Jian Luo just returned home in a daze. The lights were still on in the room. When he swiped his card to enter the door and entered the living room, Su Liang was sleeping plainly on the sofa.

In order to avoid disturbing her, Jian Luo walked over lightly and took a blanket to cover her.

As soon as the blanket was put on, he saw Su Liang’s eyelashes trembling slightly. She opened her eyes gently and saw that it was Jian Luo. Blinking in disbelief, she asked: “Luo Luo, are you back?”

Jian Luo nodded and replied, “En, I’m back.”

“There’s food at home.” Su Liang rubbed her eyes: “Mom doesn’t know what is going on with you but it’s been warm all the time.”

Jian Luo went inside and served the meal: “Next time I’m late, don’t wait for me. You can eat it first on your own so don’t wait up.”

Su Liang smiled: “Mom will be fine at home.”

Jian Luo brought a few small stir-fried vegetables to the table and noticed that his mother had nothing to do at home. Before that, she had his younger brother to accompany her, but now she was the only one left at home. In addition to the live broadcast, there seems to be nothing else to do in Peace Paradise.

“Mom.” Jian Luo bit his chopsticks and said, “Say, if I had a partner and a baby for you, will that be okay?”

Su Liang was stunned.

She raised her face and looked at Jian Luo. Her eyes were a little widened in shock. Jian Luo saw that she was in a panic.

Jian Luo lowered his head: “What, what’s wrong?”

Su Liang pursed her lips and said tentatively, “Do you have a partner?”

“…”

Jian Luo said honestly, “No.”

Could Lu Shifeng be his target? His family commands the military, and he is like the cream of the crop, so he can’t be his partner.

Su Liang sighed: “If you have a partner, that’s alright. After talking it out with a good-natured mother-in-law, they will definitely agree. However, if the other party is a Dark Star…”

Jian Luo asked, “What’s wrong with the Dark Stars?”

“It’s nothing.” Su Liang frowned and sighed: “Mom is just worried that our family’s conditions are not on par with what the other family would like. If she is allowed to marry, the family space is small and desolate. When the time comes, I’m afraid it will be a little unpleasant for you guys. Mother doesn’t want you to recite your vows in front of this house. Speaking of which, it’s mother’s fault. I’m sorry to you and your brother.”

“…”

The sorry state they were in was for real.

To be honest, Lu Shifeng couldn’t live with them at all.

Plus there were many more reasons.

Why did he make assumptions about Lu Shifeng? Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was a fool for even just thinking about it.

There was rice porridge in his bowl. While drinking the porridge, Jian Luo said to Su Liang, “Mom, don’t worry about me finding a partner. Speaking of which, you can actually find another partner too.”

Su Liang was slightly surprised.

“Hey, look at me. I just want you to have some company too.” Jian Luo ate the dishes on the table and said, “Look, brother is already living on campus now and he won’t usually be at home anymore. And what about me? Work gets really busy sometimes so you won’t have someone to talk to you at home. Find a partner so both you old coots can take care of each other.”

Su Liang glared at him: “What are you talking about? Just how old am I?”

Jian Luo almost sprayed out his food: “Oh my mother. You are in your early forties, you can look for another partner as you wish, why are you getting angry?”

Su Liang was a little shy and decided to change the topic: “I’m going to rest. You should go take a shower after eating. I have washed your clothes for you. Don’t simply throw them about and place them in the basket.”

Jian Luo: “Okay.”

When Su Liang left, Jian Luo quietly placed down his bowl and chopsticks. Now he really wanted to eat sweet and spicy food. Unfortunately, the dishes at home were only slightly salter. Fortunately, he just received the news that the holy dragon fruit has arrived, so he can go to the door to pick it up.

Its nectar was truly heavenly!

Jian Luo went to the door and scanned the code to pick up the items from the mailbox. He ordered 5 holy dragon fruits and was ready to unbox them with joy. When he opened the box, he saw the small item.

It was really, really small!

The smile on Jian Luo’s face gradually disappeared as he took out the small box. There was a button on it and one could see the contents when one opened it. Jian Luo took a deep breath and pressed the switch.

“Beep”

Fingerprint authentication was required.

The box was opened and Jian Luo was full of anticipation. In the end, he saw that the holy dragon fruit in the box was very small and about the size of a palm. The difference between one that he ate in the Moonlight was like heaven and earth. ‌What the seller showed was way off from what the buyer received.

Jian Luo felt that this was unbelievable.

He took the holy dragon fruit and returned to his room. He and his younger brother stayed together in this room. Now that his younger brother is no longer here, his bed can be temporarily put away, so the whole room is much more spacious.

Jian Luo sat cross-legged on the bed and called the customer service: “Hello, is this the customer service of Bao.com¹Taobao.com (A very famous online marketplace from China)?”

The call was answered: “Hello, what’s the problem?”

“It’s that.” Jian Luo briefly described his own experience: “Do you think you should give me a refund or what?”

The customer service smiled: “I’m very sorry Mr. Jian. It’s like this. We received a national order yesterday that all the holy dragon fruit will no longer be sold to outsiders. Yours was considered additional compensation.”

Jian Luo was taken aback: “No longer selling? Why?”

“I’m sorry for this.” The customer service said in a muffled voice: “We also recently received the ban and just acted according to the rules.”

“…”

I feel that your ban was made to just cause trouble so you can salvage your words on the transaction.

Jian Luo held back his anger: “What about the money?”

The customer service was slightly surprised: “Have you not checked the bill? We have returned the money to your account. Please pay attention and check it.”

“…”

Alright, you win.

Jian Luo was so angry after hanging up the phone. But after he got angry, he became hungry again out of anger.

There was also the pitiful holy dragon fruit on the table. Jian Luo hesitated but picked it up and peeled it, so he could eat it.

“Ugh……”

Raising a dragon was really tiring.

And now the holy dragon fruit can’t be bought, Jian Luo can’t help but turn on the Lightbrain: “Baidu this for me. Does it matter that the little child won’t be able to eat the holy dragon fruit during pregnancy?”

At this time, the Lightbrain charged an internet fee, so it came back fast: “It matters. According to the Baidu Encyclopedia, the holy dragon fruit is rich in vitamins and nutritional value. It is an important complementary food for the cub’s development period. Untimely replenishment is likely to have a significant impact on the cubs.”

Jian Luo was frightened: “What kind of impact? Will they get any diseases?”

“They will be weak and malnourished.” Lightbrain again read out the science: “It is best to eat it every day, otherwise the cubs will not get enough nutritional supplements of food from the mother’s body and the cubs will absorb the mother’s nutrition according to their nature and may even feed on blood. “

???

The little dragon cub would be so cruel?

As expected of Lu Shifeng’s seed.

Jian Luo fell into contemplation. According to his calculations, a holy dragon fruit is now five thousand Star Dollars. If he were to eat it every day, it would amount to… 150,000 a month?

Oh no, was this little brat going to kill his own father? How was he going to eat it? Not to mention, it wasn’t even available on sale now!?

The Lightbrain said: “Do you have anything else to search for?”

Jian Luo thought for a while: “Where else do they sell it now?”

“The search has been completed. According to the information, the military’s Sky garden is connected to the Dragon God Valley. Now all the dragons in the universe live there. If you need, you can go to the military to negotiate.”

“…”

I see.

The next day.

Today was the day that Jian Luo was going to the cultivation base. Early in the morning, he arrived by car. The cultivation base, Moonlight and the military were all in opposite directions.

The south was the sunniest place, and the hover car took a full two minutes to arrive.

When Jian Luo arrived, someone who was holding a security-testing instrument said, “Hello, please cooperate with the security inspection.”

“Okay.”

The inspector who held a scanner in his hand swept it over him in a large circle from the top to the top before saying, “Okay, that’s it.”

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you.”

He walked inside and a young man seemed to have been waiting for a long time: “Hello, are you the cultivator recommended by Moonlight?”

Jian Luo said, “I am.”

“I’m in charge of picking you up.” The young man led him on the road and reminded him, “Please pay attention to your feet and try not to step on the red stone bricks.”

Jian Luo was suspicious: “Why?”

The young man smiled: “These red bricks all have the seals on them, you better be careful.”

Jian Luo suddenly discovered that the Dark Stars here are really different from the Dark Stars in other places. They were all almost uniformly dressed in white robes and had a gold bracelet on their wrists.

“Well…” Jian Luo hesitated: “I heard that all of you here are phoenixes?”

The young man was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “You’re really being over the top, haha. How could that be? We only have the Phoenix gene, but only the high priest is a real Phoenix who can bear that title.”

Understood.

These days, Jian Luo has gradually understood how the genes of the Dark Star were distributed. Some of them were real beasts, and those who could transform into beasts were generally stronger. Others that did not traditionally inherit this even if they had the genes were also relatively strong, but they weren’t as strong as the beast.

The young man took him to the training center: “We’ve arrived. I’ll take you inside.”

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay, thank you.”

There was a sacred atmosphere everywhere and Jian Luo followed him inside obediently. When he got inside, he found that there was not much in the entire cultivation base.

The young man said: “Cultivating seeds of this kind is a very laborious thing, so not many are willing to do this work. Our power is also very low so in order to prevent the seeds from being wasted, there are not too many attempts.”

Jian Luo nodded.

As he was talking, a man passed by not far away. He seemed to be in his 40s or 50s. He was wearing a white robe and had a serious face. The man walked up to Jian Luo and frowned: “Are you new here?”

The young man said, “Yes. If there is nothing else, Luoluo will be your partner.”

The man glanced at Jian Luo from top to bottom and sneered, “A human being? Dare I ask which school you graduated from?”

Jian Luo said, “I’m temporarily suspended from school.”

The white-robed man said to the young man in disbelief, “Did this one really pass the application? The seeds are not for them to play with!”

The young man said: “The report given above shows that Luoluo is indeed capable of taking the job.”

“Can you?” The man glanced at Jian Luo again, unable to hide his contempt: “What does a human being know? Don’t follow me in the future.”

“…”

Jian Luo was not angry. Hearing this, he felt that it would take a while and said, “Did you just have a misunderstanding on your own?”

The man was taken aback.

“First, I’m not going to follow you.” Jian Luo said slowly: “Secondly, I’ll ask you to be clear. The origin of these seeds is the earth, which is the mother planet of my species. Of course, I would be able to recognize the plants from my own planet. You can choose to disrespect me, but you need to clearly understand where the seeds you cultivate came from and who they originally belonged to!”

“…”

There was a moment of silence in the air.

The man’s face was blue and green looking at Jian Luo’s as if he were about to swallow him whole. After holding back for a long time, he finally said, “Uneducated.”

Jian Luo sneered: “That’s a pale comparison when compared to the likes of you²小巫见大巫 – Literally means, when a small witch meets a big witch. It’s something like a pot calling the kettle black, but instead pretend that it’s a silver spoon being called black instead..”

Naturally, the Dark Star couldn’t understand this³Jian Luo was supposed to have said some smug and smart phrase common in China but I couldn’t find a way to translate it haha, but he definitely knew that it was not something good, so he could only stare at Jian Luo in the end.

The young man was very embarrassed: “This…you…”

Jian Luo comforted him: “Just tell me the process and the rules here. I’ll go get the seeds with you.”

The young man nodded.

After harvesting for the whole day, Jian Luo became familiar with the uses of the various tools in the base as he gradually learned about it.

There was only one thing that he was not very satisfied with.

“You mean you don’t have a cafeteria here?” Jian Luo was very surprised: “Then what do you usually eat?”

The man in the white robe who quarreled with him in the morning was called Wang Heng. He said, “Do you think we all have to eat? Our family of the Phoenixes do no need to eat!”

“…”

Jian Luo was very dissatisfied: “Then why does the military base have a canteen?”

Wang Heng sneered: “Why don’t you go to work in the military instead of yelling at me here? If you want to find a place to eat, find a way on your own!”

…

Alright, you’re too ruthless.

Jian Luo was really hungry. He didn’t particularly like to eat, but since he had this little dragon, he became more hungry.

Did he want to go to the military to get some holy dragon fruit?

The main thing was that he hadn’t figured out whether he wanted this little brat or not.

As he was thinking about it, a voice came from not far away: “Even if you don’t leave yet, you won’t get overtime pay if you stay here.”

“For chili pepper seeds to germinate, the temperature must not be too low.” Jian Luo didn’t turn his head back: “I heard that it gets very cold at night here, so I’ll leave it to you to adjust the temperature.”

After all, there were not many seeds. Without this; his source of happiness, it would be boring to eat in the future.

Wang Heng snorted coldly, “Faker.”

Jian Luo sat on the side and looked at the temperature before taunting him back: “If you really don’t like me, cultivate these seeds as soon as possible and I promise I will never appear in front of you again.”

“…”

Wang Heng left.

Through today’s observation, Jian Luo found out that Dark Stars actually worked hard to cultivate the seeds and were indeed paying attention to the temperature and humidity, but the Earth was destroyed so much that they could not know at all what conditions and temperature the seeds needed to be at so it could germinate.

And the seeds were very delicate. They need one temperature in the germination stage, and a different temperature after germination so they could continue to survive.

“Ugh……”

Jian Luo sat on the ridge and sent a message to his mother.

Su Liang asked him, “Should I not wait up? Will you be back late tonight?”

“I’ll try to as early as possible.” Jian Luo comforted her: “Don’t worry about it.”

Su Liang was relieved and didn’t ask any more questions. After comforting her, Jian Luo continued to guard the temperature in the shed. The current temperature was 17 degrees, which was not too bad. He will be guarding it today. In the case where the temperature outside drops sharply, he will be able to adjust it at any time. Once the seedlings of chili peppers are put below 15 degrees, they will not germinate.

The other side.

Inside the temple, the lights were bright.

On the Phoenix Stage of Connaught University, a man in a golden robe sat onstage. Behind him was a fiery-red phoenix wall.

A disciple said: “Your sacrifice was astounding. It’s late at night now, you should get some rest.”

Zhan Wentai opened his eyes and those eyes were golden, as gentle as water, and very beautiful: “Got it.”

The disciples bowed their heads, not daring to directly look at him.

Zhan Wentai stood up from the altar and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the shrine before looking out. He saw that the lights in the cultivation base that should have been turned off were still lit.

Zhan Wentai frowned slightly: “What’s going on?”

“Huh?” The disciple followed the line of sight of the priest and looked outside before quickly replying: “It should be today’s new apprentice.”

Zhan Wentai’s eyes fell on the shed and did not look away.

The disciple didn’t dare to speak when they were next to him. Their family have been doing divination and sacrifices all night long recently. The Phoenix family is filled with psychics, and the purer their blood is, the more psychic powers were bestowed upon the said Phoenix. There was only one pure-blooded phoenix left, which was Zhan Wentai himself.

A few days ago, the high priest himself said that the curse of the Dark Star may soon be broken and everyone was very happy that their Phoenix family will finally not end in extinction.

Zhan Wentai said, “You can return.”

The disciple said respectfully, “Yes.”

A ray of gold flashed in the dark night and that gold flashed in the night sky before finally stopping in front of the cultivation shed.

Jian Luo was squatting beside the shed holding vegetables and digging a hole. He was concentrating on his work and was very devoted. It could be said that he was hard at work.

Zhan Wentai said, “What are you doing?”

“Mom!”

Jian Luo was so frightened that the potatoes in his hands fell down.

In all fairness, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind in the silent night and he was so frightened that his soul almost flew away, okay?!

Zhan Wentai stood there and looked at him quietly.

When Jian Luo turned around, he saw a man in a golden robe standing in front of him. He was tall and firm with a fair complexion. His eyes especially were a gentle golden color. It was completely different from Lu Shifeng’s bloodthirsty red eyes.

“That.” Jian Luo stammered a little when he saw how good-looking he was: “I’m thinking about whether the vegetables here can be eaten. I’m a little hungry.”

Zhan Wentai glanced at the ground and said softly, “You don’t have a pot.”

Jian Luo is very good at focusing on key points: “Do you mean for eating?”

“Sure.”

Zhan Wentai nodded lightly. As he stood with restraint and dignity, it seemed that the whole land was sacred and pure.

Jian Luo hesitated for a while and finally said, “What are you…what do you do?”

He shouldn’t be a patrol officer right? Also, looking at this outfit, it’s completely different from an ordinary NPC’s. Did he think that he was stupid?

Zhan Wentai said, “Priest.”

“…”

Jian Luo didn’t quite understand what that profession did, but he has often heard it being mentioned that it was indeed a kind of profession: “Then what do you do?”

Zhan Wentai was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t expect that there would be someone who didn’t know the high priest.

After all, others have always taken the initiative to meet him wherever he goes so he never needed to explain what he does. When he was suddenly asked that, he didn’t know what to say.

When he looked up, he saw that Jian Luo was still looking at him seriously, eager for knowledge.

Zhan Wentai pursed his lips: “We don’t really do anything. We read books and predict the effect of the cause.”

Jian Luo expressed his own thoughts: “Sounds fun?”

Did that sound fun?

Zhan Wentai thought that he didn’t find it fun, but because he was already in the conversation, he could only say: “It’s still okay.”

“…”

Their eyes met and there was a moment of silence.

Jian Luo threw the potatoes aside. Although he didn’t know what priests did, he always felt that they were amazing. He went back to check the temperature again and would leave if there was no problem.

They passed by each other without saying a word.

Jian Luo looked inside to check the temperature and after confirming that the temperature would be maintained at night, he walked out, thinking the person outside would be gone, but who knew he would still be there. 

Zhan Wentai looked at him: “Why don’t you take classes?”

“…I’m about to take a class.” Jian Luo had a flash of inspiration. This could be a performance-review inspection, so he added: “The growth of seeds requires a constant temperature. I was afraid that it would not be safe, so I stayed for a while.”

Leader, look at me. Aren’t I diligent?

Give me a raise, thank you!

But Zhan Wentai just nodded: “Okay.”

Jian Luo waited for a long time in silence, before he could only purse his lips in disappointment: “Then I’m leaving, you’re on your own.”

Zhan Wentai was also a little surprised.

He thought this human being was a bit special, so he decided to take a look, but he didn’t expect him to be so strange.

The people around him either respected him very much or were very fond of him, but there was no such person like Jian Luo who acted casually, chatting as if it were just an everyday thing.

When Zhan Wentai opened his eyes again, he was gone.

…

“Arriving at the next stop, Peace Paradise.”

The sound of the tram sounded, bringing some warmth to the night.

Jian Luo went to the hospital with some hope and was pleasantly surprised to find that the door was not closed. He trotted past it and peeked inside: “Are you here, old doc?”

The old man said, “Yo, it’s Little Hope.”

“…”

What the hell?

Jian Luo walked in and sighed, “I want to ask you something.”

“Go ahead.”

“If I abort this cub, will there be any adverse effects on my body?”

The old man looked at him a few more times and his eyes became more complicated: “It shouldn’t have a big impact. Just a little loss.”

Jian Luo sighed.

“However, your current body also needs to be replenished.” The old man stroked his beard: “It is very hard to raise little dragons and they need sufficient nutrition in their mother’s body to grow up healthy. The holy dragon fruit is the best to nurture the little dragons, you must eat more every day.”

“…”

Eat a fart, I can’t even afford it.

Jian Luo sighed: “Let’s make do with it, I can’t uphold those conditions.”

The old man smiled: “That’s not good. Don’t just think about yourself, you have to think about the tiny dragons. If I’m not wrong, you have more than one cub in there.”

???

Dafuq?

No wonder Laozi⁴A crude way to refer to yourself (esp. used when you are the senior in the situation) always feels hungry and no wonder Laozi always feels tired. There was not one of you, but a group of you in there that were messing with me?

Jian Luo’s lips trembled: “Did you see how many there were?”

The old man smiled and shook his head: “I’m not sure, but your luck is pretty good. The descendants of the dragon family are precious, but you managed to win double of the grand prize. Not bad, not bad!”

Chapter 29 – I want to abort this child

 

When Jian Luo’s wrist started to hurt, he felt like his bones were about to be crushed.

 

Professor Wang’s face got closer and those eyes contained so much contempt that he could almost feel it physically: “How old are you? Who are you to still be playing hard-to-get with me?”

 

Jian Luo sneered before he suddenly raised his foot and kicked him under the waist fiercely.

 

“What?!”

 

Suddenly there was an exasperated scream in the corridor. Looking at Professor Wang’s twisted face, Jian Luo felt relief in his heart and took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, turn around and run.

 

Afterwards, Professor Wang slowed down, gasping for breath. He ruthlessly said: “You dared kick me?!”

 

Jian Luo ran so fast that he thought he installed a powerful little motor on his legs. As he ran vigorously, he looked for the exit of the corridor.

 

“Stop!”

 

Professor Wang chased him. As he was about to be caught, the man stretched out his hand to grab Jian Luo’s arm.

 

Suddenly,

 

Almost in an instant, no one could see what happened. A flying object hit Professor Wang on the shoulder.

 

“What…”

 

Mr. Wang bent down in pain. He was unable to move his left shoulder. It was a strong tearing pain and he used his fairly good hand to stroke his shoulder tremblingly. The pain was uncontrollable as he exhaled.

 

Jian Luo looked back in surprise.

 

Lu Shifeng stood at the other end of the corridor and looked at them with a straight face. He was wearing a straight and orthodox military uniform. The sun was shining down by the window, but there was not a trace of warmth. This whole body seemed to be sharp and sturdy, like a sharpened blade made others afraid to approach it.

 

The bodies of Dark Stars are strong.

 

Even though Professor Wang suffered this injury, he still did not fall. He just knelt on the ground and shrieked in pain, “Who is it? Come out!”

 

Not far away, Lu Shifeng took a step forward. The man’s steps were calm and elegant. Every step he approached seemed to be stepping on the apex of one’s heart. Jian Luo watched as Lu Shifeng approached. He himself took two steps back.’

 

Finally, Lu Shifeng stood in front of him, raised his eyelids and glanced at him: “What are you doing?”

 

Jian Luo blinked, as if thinking about how to explain the current situation and finally said, “Just, just running for my life. Were you not watching?”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at the ground: “Why was he chasing you?”

 

Professor Wang’s shoulder hurt so bad that he didn’t have the strength to raise his head at all. His heart was full of anger so his tone of voice was naturally a little rushed: “Why I’m chasing him. I’m warning you, no matter who you are, mind your own business. I tell you, I chased him first if you are interested…”

 

“Bang!”

 

A crisp gunshot rang across the corridor.

 

Just now in the corridor, the endless babbling and ceaseless reasoning stopped abruptly.

 

Lu Shifeng’s eyes were so dark that he couldn’t see his emotions and anger. Even Jian Luo couldn’t tell where his gun came from.

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened.

 

Suddenly, he thought that Jiang Jiang had told himself that the military has the right to kill first and then file a report. If he said that, Lu Shifeng couldn’t possibly do anything to this professor…

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo’s face turned white. No matter what, he was still a good citizen in the 21st century who abides by the law. For such an extreme thing to happen, especially in front of his own eyes. Can anyone really somehow accept this?

 

“He…” Jian Luo stretched out his fingers tremblingly: “Is he dead?”

 

In two steps, Lu Shifeng’s military boots stepped on Mr. Wang’s body. With a little effort, Mr. Wang was kicked and rolled twice before stopping like a dead fish.

 

Jian Luo stepped back a little, shivering.

 

Lu Shifeng looked at his cowardly appearance and said softly, “It’s just a tranquilizer. Do you think I make a hobby of killing?”

 

“…”

 

That is hard to determine.

 

Jian Luo didn’t dare to speak, but he heaved a sigh of relief: “It’s good if he didn’t die.”

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows and was a little puzzled: “He offended you, you don’t want him to die?”

 

“I just hope he’ll be punished a little bit.” Jian Luo gasped, “He’s not guilty enough to die.”

 

Lu Shifeng sneered twice.

 

On the other hand, Jian Luo knew that Mr. Wang was not dead, so he didn’t give up. He was full of energy. He straightened his waist and strode forward. He kicked Mr. Wang, who was like a dead fish with his feet and some hatred: “How dare you chase me, you pervert?!”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at him with an expression.

 

Jian Luo retracted his feet again to relieve his anger. After he was finished, he looked back and saw that Lu Shifeng was still standing behind him, before freezing again.

 

Their eyes met and there was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Jian Luo rummaged his head to find a topic: “I just found out that you are so strong that you can make him flip around a few times with just a casual kick.”

 

Lu Shifeng made a noncommittal hum.

 

In fact, he was not using his strength at all. Otherwise it would not be a problem making him roll twice. It would even be possible to lodge the person into the wall.

 

“That said.” Jian Luo scratched his head: “You were kind to me that day.”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng was silent: “You think I’m abusing you?”

 

Jian Luo said with a bit of resentment: “Anyone with bruises all over their body with the feeling that their skeleton is about to be dismantled will feel that they have been abused.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him indifferently and finally came to the conclusion: “It’s because your body is too fragile.”

 

Jian Luo snorted softly.

 

In fact, he found that his body suddenly became much stronger. Before, he didn’t run as fast at all. He didn’t know what was going on just now, but he felt that Professor Wang was not able to catch up to him at all.

 

The two were talking when someone came down the stairs.

 

The little emperor and the dean came down after hearing the news. When they came, they saw Professor Wang lying not far away and the two who were talking to each other.

 

The dean was surprised: “What’s going on?”

 

The little emperor also got closer: “Hey, he’s not dead.”

 

“…”

 

Why did you say this in such a surprised tone?

 

The dean observed the scene and was sure that he was still alive so he notified the medical officers to come over and carry Mr. Wang. Originally, the dean wanted to ask for the professor to be relieved of his punishment. After all, Mr. Wang was considered to be an excellent professor in his school. But he did not do so. When he opened his mouth, he saw Lu Shifeng behind Jian Luo, who was like a god of plague. Even if Lu Shifeng didn’t open his mouth, the dean dared not be so arrogant.

 

With a light cough, the dean said to Jian Luo, “Are you a student’s guardian? Can you tell me what happened?”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while: “Well, he had bad intentions towards me, but he didn’t succeed. Fortunately, the Marshal passed by and rescued me.”

 

???

 

The dean blurted out: “Sinister intentions against you? He’s a pure-blooded Dark Star…”

 

Jian Luo rolled his eyes.

 

This again. It’s damn racism. It seems that all the Dark Stars feel that they should be held highly, as high as the stars while the ones from Earth must kneel and lick their shoes.

 

How can there be such a reason in this world?

 

Lu Shifeng leaned against the wall and asked slowly, “Are you the dean?”

 

The dean didn’t want to be called out. But he knew what Lu Shifeng was like so he said, “I am.”

 

“Well.” Lu Shifeng glanced at the emperor: “Did you talk to him?”

 

The little emperor shook his head.

 

The dean was very reluctant to support the program for the students.

 

Lu Shifeng’s phoenix eyes became a little more sharp and he glanced at the dean: “Forget it if we can’t come to an agreement, then we should change the dean.”

 

“…”

 

For a moment, the space was quiet.

 

The dean was stunned. He couldn’t believe his ears. How could such a thing be possible in this extraordinary world!?

 

Oh yes, he shouldn’t be afraid. The Majesty was upright and forthcoming.

 

Thinking of this, the dean looked at the little emperor with anticipation, praying that the little emperor would quickly scold Lu Shifeng in front of them and speak up for him. 

 

Unexpectedly, the little emperor touched his chin and nodded lightly: “It’s not impossible.”

 

????

 

The dean’s eyes widened.

 

The little emperor waved his hand: “Okay then. That’s all. There’s nothing else to talk about today, let’s go back.”

 

When he finished his sentence, the little emperor took a few steps forward slowly towards Jian Luo: “Are you the chef from Moonlight?”

 

Jian Luo was also stunned. He was just a melon-eater watching the drama when out of nowhere, he was suddenly named and he said, “I am. What’s the matter?”

 

“I still want to eat stinky tofu.” The little emperor said indiscreetly: “Can you still make it for me?”

 

The child looked very tender and he was about the same age as Jian Luo. When he laughed with his soft features, two sharp fangs appeared, making him look round and soft like a harmless creature.

 

Without any more words, Jian Luo was instantly softenened.

 

“Okay.” Jian Luo’s hand that wanted to pinch his face was about to move: “I’ll do it for you when I get back, but today I’m taking a rest as I asked for a leave.”

 

The little emperor couldn’t hide his loss: “Why? I really want to eat it.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart changed and he had no resistance at all to this lovely creature: “Next time. Next time, alright?”

 

The little emperor nodded reluctantly.

 

Lu Shifeng took him aside: “Go back.”

 

The dean still hasn’t snapped out of his trance before. He wanted to chase after them but as soon as he took a step, he met Lu Shifeng’s gaze.

 

The man looked back coldly, his eyes fell on the dean’s body, indifferent as if he was looking at a deadman.

 

In an instant, the dean did not dare to move again.

 

He had reason to believe that if he dared to mess up today, it might end up badly for him.

 

“…”

 

After a long walk.

 

The little emperor got into the car carefully as Lu Shifeng and Jian Luo stood side by side outside. Jian Luo said sincerely, “Thank you.”

 

Lu Shifeng said nothing.

 

Jian Luo waited for a long time without responding. He raised his face and looked at Lu Shifeng curiously, who was leaning lazily beside the car door and looking at him silently.

 

Quite a while passed when Lu Shifeng said, “That’s it?”

 

Jian Luo was suspicious: “Then, what else can I do?”

 

Lu Shifeng felt that he was really going back and forth with this and he had to blatantly say this to Jian Luo: “Was this how you repaid the kindness of your dragon savior?”

 

“…”

 

This was simply outrageous.

 

Jian Luo suppressed the complaints in his heart and he thought for a while: “How about I also cook you a meal to express my sincere apologies?”

 

Lu Shifeng said: “I’m busy with official business. I’m afraid I don’t know when I can go to Moonlight. I’ll have to wait a long time for this meal.”

 

Jian Luo scratched his head: “Then, shall I contact Secretary Jin to bring you there?”

 

Lu Shifeng was not very satisfied with this answer.

 

But Jian Luo looked at him earnestly, as if he would be very sad if he was rejected, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

 

So, the marshal reluctantly said, “Well.”

 

Anyway, whether Secretary Jin had the time or not, was it not him who had the final say?

 

After a few simple exchange of words, Lu Shifeng got into the car and went back. The car started slowly, and in the rearview mirror, you could see Jian Luo standing on the spot, getting further and further away.

 

The little emperor said: “Uncle Huang is still watching him. Why don’t you go back and take him with you?”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him lightly: “He has something to do this afternoon.”

 

“Oh~” The little emperor nodded with a vague understanding: “So you thought about bringing him along, but you didn’t do it because he had something to do at home?”

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t say yes or no.

 

The little emperor was bored. He touched his nose and muttered: “It’s quite strange. The first time I saw him, I smelled the scent of dragons on him. Though, according to my theory, it has been several days. Why haven’t it dispersed, could it be that you…”

 

Lu Shifeng took a sip of the water in the freezer and said, “Seeing that Your Majesty is so leisurely. Seems like you must’ve been busy with state affairs recently. Do you need the help of the minister?”

 

The little emperor choked and pouted, “You’re so boring.”

 

Lu Shifeng ignored him.

 

Even so, he was thinking about what the little emperor said. Even if he had a relationship with Jian Luo, logically speaking, the dragon scent should not have lingered on him for that long.

 

On the contrary

 

When they met today, Jian Luo’s smell was a little heavier. If it was the smell of other dragons, it would be easy to tell the difference.

 

However, that was the problem.

 

Lu Shifeng was very sure that it was his own dragon scent. Although it was a little light, he was definitely not wrong.

 

Tapping at the chair with his fingertips, the marshal encountered something he couldn’t understand. Could there be some problem with his body?

 

…

 

The other side

 

After Jian Sheng memorized the dormitories and came back, he ran to Jian Luo: “Brother, have you waited for a long time?”

 

“It didn’t take long.” Jian Luo was under the tree and he was counting ants. He hesitated: “What do you think of this school? Are you okay?”

 

To be honest, Mr. Wang’s incident made him reassess the school. The so-called pillar was unjust and crooked, so how can those professors here manage their conduct well and ensure that they teach the children well?

 

Unexpectedly, Jian Sheng was very happy.

 

Jian Sheng said: “It’s pretty good, the Dark Stars here are all good to me and a few people next to my dormitory even took the initiative to say hello to me. I gave him hash browns, and he said we should go to the cafeteria to eat together later.”

 

Jane Luo showed an expression of rare surprise: “Your classmates are so easy to get along with.”

 

“Yes.” Jian Sheng was also delighted: “I didn’t think it was going to be like this either.”

 

Jian Luo was a little relieved. Although he felt that the school was quite problematic, he heard that the principal was going to be changed. Since the students didn’t have any major problems, it should be fine.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo nodded and told his younger brother: “Okay. Study hard and you can come home once a week. If anything happens, just contact the family.”

 

Jian Sheng nodded vigorously: “I know!”

 

Seeing that nothing happened to him, he was relieved. He looked at the time of the information bracelet and said to the Lightbrain, “Are any hospitals still open?”

 

Lightbrain: “Searching for a nearby hospital for you.”

 

After searching for a long time, Jian Luo finally couldn’t wait: “Are they all closed?”

 

Lightbrain explained to him: “All the hospitals in Dark Star are open 24 hours a day but none of them are open to the public. A hospital has been found for you. Would you like to go?”

 

Jian Luo accepted his fate: “Which one is it?”

 

Guangnao answered him: “No. 125 Peace Paradise, Peaceful Small Clinic.”

 

“…”

 

How can that place sound unreliable?

 

Jian Luo suddenly didn’t want to go but today he felt that his condition was not quite right. He was always sleepy and hungry. As long as this feeling of physical fatigue was not a minor illness, it would be enough reassurance for him.

 

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth: “Okay, I’ll go take a look.”

 

After taking the last bus, Jian Luo finally came to the so-called Peace Paradise Small Clinic which was in a dark area. The clinic was also very small.

 

It was the size of a bedroom. Once he was inside, it was dark with only a dim light on.

 

Jian Luo almost turned around and wanted to leave.

 

Sitting behind the cabinet, someone heard some movement so he raised his head: “A visitor?”

 

It was an old man with a bit of a beard. His eyes were cloudy as he looked at Jian Luo: “Are you going to see a doctor?”

 

Jian Luo nodded lifelessly: “Yes.”

 

The old man sat up straight as if he had finally had enough rest, and said, “Where is the ailment?”

 

“My stomach doesn’t feel very well.” Jian Luo covered his stomach: “I feel nauseous just smelling some bloody stuff. I used to like seafood, but now, even when there is no fishy smell after the seafood is cooked, I can’t eat either.”

 

The old doctor stroked his beard: “Are you still sleepy and tired?”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up, he was really sorry towards the uncle for doubting his medical skills before but now it seems that the spark was still there.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo nodded hurriedly: “Yes, yes. How did you know?”

 

The old man smiled gently: “It’s usually like that. Now, give me your hand, and I’ll take your pulse.”

 

Jian Luo hurriedly handed over his wrist.

 

The old man tremblingly put his finger on Jian Luo’s pulseline, and felt it for a long time. His eyes narrowed from time to time, which made his heart fall as he couldn’t figure it out.

 

Jian Luo was also very nervous: “Well, sir, what’s wrong with me, can you do anything to help?”

 

The old man finally slowly put away his fingers and touched him again.

 

Touching his beard, he shook his head gently: “Your problem is very serious.”

 

“…”

 

For a moment, Jian Luo’s heart throbbed.

 

At this moment, he already thought it out and wrote down his ailment. If he’s really gotten some serious illness, it was probably his fate anyway.

 

As he was still thinking about it, the old man said slowly: “If the old man guessed correctly, you should have it.”

 

Jian Luo: “Oh, yes, I have… what?!”

 

The suddenly raised tone almost overturned the small medical hall, especially the old man, who was covering his heart: “Young man, do you want to send me to the afterlife?”

 

Jian Luo was a little embarrassed and sat down again: “I didn’t mean it. I mean, sir, are you mistaken? How could I have this?”

 

The uncle shook his head: “I will never make a mistake. Back then, in this whole Peace Paradise, everyone who had a pulse indicating a bundle of joy is to come was diagnosed by me. When your mother was pregnant with you, I was also the one who diagnosed it!”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo spoke for a while.

 

He thought for a while about how his soul was captivated, then he thought about how a man could get pregnant. After that, he thought of how Dark Stars only birthed cubs. Lu Shifeng, you dog! After playing with me, you knew that you must wear a condom and yet!

 

After a long time.

 

Jian Luo remembered another important thing: “Well, you just said that the problem is very serious, what is the problem?”

 

The old man stroked his beard again, and then slowly said: “It’s also very likely that you’re not pregnant. I’ve read pulses for many years, but I’ve never felt this kind of pulse before. It’s powerful but too illusive.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart skipped a beat again.

 

He feels cold. It couldn’t be that the child was a dragon, could it? Not only did he get a child before he was married, that was not the most nerve-wracking part. It is the fact that the child might be out of the ordinary.

 

The old doctor said complacently: “Fortunately, I still have some wit left in me. Although your pulse is very strange, I can confirm that it is definitely a pulse indicating a bundle of joy.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while before hesitating: “Then, can I abort this child?”

 

The old doctor was stunned.

 

Those turbid eyes looked at Jian Luo, who was inexplicably guilty for a while before saying: “I don’t want this to be known by my family. Besides, you also know the current situation of my family, how can I afford to raise a child?”

 

Plus… it was a dragon.

 

Please just spare him.

 

The old doctor coughed lightly, his voice was hoarse and deep: “Go find that Dark Star. He will definitely take responsibility. They have never been able to reproduce new life for thousands of years and all their children relied on test-tube synthesis. They will not last long. If that continues, the Dark Star will die out sooner or later. You are their planet’s hope.”

 

Jian Luo suddenly thought about what he had heard at school that day. He heard that the sacred dragon fruit tree had opened, and how the students had said that they were looking forward to the cubs.

 

He remembered the Dark Stars of Star Network who always said:

“If only I could feel what morning sickness feels like.”

“Unfortunately, I can’t have cubs.”

“The holy dragon fruit tree is blooming today. It’s a good sign. Maybe I will have a cub this year.”

 

It seems that all the Dark Stars and the whole planet are eagerly looking forward to the birth of this new life, pinning their hopes on this silent child.

 

Jian Luo lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, “But have you ever thought if he would want this child to be born in a human’s belly?”

 

The Dark Star’s disdain for their class is undeniable.

 

The old doctor sighed: “Or your child is not only the hope of Dark Stars, but also the hope of your entire family.”

 

His kind has been oppressed for so long, so maybe he can just use this opportunity to turn things around. There are many things that cannot be thought about, even if done carefully. There are too many things to consider and the complexity of it was outrageous.

 

Jian Luo fell into deep thought and after a while, he asked, “Well, then you still haven’t said whether you can do anything to get rid of it?”

 

The old doctor sighed: “After you think about it, you can come to me.”

 

Jian Luo nodded. In fact, he was panicking right now. If he was asked to abort him now, he would not be willing. Going home and thinking hard would indeed be the best thing to do at the moment.

 

Although he once thought that if the child was conceived by himself, it must be very good. He has a house and a household registration. Maybe he will get everything.

 

But he is not stupid. In the future, will his life still be his own? Maybe he will be sent to be studied. Although life is difficult now, everything was developing in a good direction. With his effort, those external things can always be solve.

 

So this child was not really necessary, it is better to abort it.

 

But–

 

Children are also innocent.

 

On the way back, Jian Luo remembered watching those naughty little dragons in the sky garden. They were actually quite cute. The little one has two little wings but was unexpectedly soft-tempered. Since he was especially good at flying, when he grows up, he must be a super handsome dragon.

 

And–

 

Jian Luo thought about it again, if he aborted this child, in the case he was accidentally caught by Lu Shifeng in the future…

Chapter 28 – Experiencing morning sickness

 

Jian Luo leaned against the sink to calm down for a while before it was over.

 

His stomach was terribly uncomfortable and the feeling came in waves as soon as he thought he was better. There was a fishy smell in the kitchen which made him uncomfortable.

 

Su Liang outside heard a voice: “Luoluo?”

 

Jian Luo responded in a low voice.

 

“What’s wrong with Luoluo?” Su Liang came over but just stood outside: “Where is the discomfort?”

 

Jian Luo shook his hand gently, making a gesture to indicate that he was fine.

 

Su Liang was relieved. Jian Luo smiled and gestured silently to her to go out first as the live broadcast was still going on.

 

The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned stupid:

“Are you alright?”

“Should I call a doctor for you?”

“Uwuuu, you have to be strong!”

 

Jian Luo laughed when he saw the news: “It’s nothing. Don’t worry. It’s because my stomach feels a little bad today, so I’ll end the live broadcast today and make it up for everyone tomorrow. Sorry.”

 

After saying that, he saw a lightning strike on the homepage. 

 

User (Feng): Rest well and make up for it next time.

 

The thunder’s special effects made the entire page brighter by a degree. It was pretty so it made others feel quite happy.

 

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

 

Other audience:

“??? This user again.”

“Why every time there’s something, he’ll mess it up by appearing.”

“Why the torpedoes, why?!”

 

After a while, the user (Feng) smashed another torpedo and added, “Oops, it should be this one instead.”

 

Everyone: “…”

 

This was a tough opponent.

 

The live broadcast ended. Jian Luo prepared dinner before also walking out.

 

The inside of the house was too airy so he pushed the big door directly to the courtyard to take a breather. It was nighttime and the small courtyard was quite quiet. There was also a gentle breeze blowing so he felt better after standing outside for a while. 

 

Su Liang came over from behind: “Luoluo, what’s wrong with you?”

 

Jian Luo rubbed his eyebrows: “Maybe it’s because of lunch with a client today. I should be careful of what I eat.”

 

That’s right, it’s all Lu Shifeng’s fault!

 

It must be him!

 

Su Liang looked at Jian Luo’s pale face and felt a little distressed: “Luoluo, if it’s too hard to earn Ah Sheng’s tuition, mother will find a way. You’re already working so hard.”

 

Jian Luo hurriedly shook his head: “I’m having a hard time now because I ate some bad food. You’re thinking too much.”

 

Only then did Su Liang feel relieved. She said, “Will your mother cook some porridge for you?”

 

“Alright.”

 

Jian Luo paused and hesitated again. He closed his eyes and hesitated, causing Su Liang to keep staring at him.

 

Su Liang smiled: “What else do you want to say?”

 

“Well…” Jian Luo said softly, “Is there any meat at home? I want to eat meat porridge.”

 

It has been a long time since Su Liang has heard Jian Luo speak so softly while acting like a spoiled child. This child has always been different. She has talked to him for 20 years, until he then fell seriously ill, causing his personality to change. She had always felt that there was something between them. 

 

Now that this child was whispering softly, saying to her that he wanted to eat meat with a lowered gaze. It instantly awakened a softness in Su Liang’s heart.

 

This was Jian Luo.

 

This was her child, no matter what changes. The one standing in front of her now was also her child.

 

Seeing her talk, Jian Luo touched her nose: “Actually, you can eat now.”

 

“Eat.” Su Liang frowned and said softly, “Go take a shower first, and we will eat when you come out.”

 

Jian Luo was happy and said, “Okay, I’m going now.”

 

After saying that, he went back to his room to get a change of clothes. Most of the clothes in their house were made by Su Liang herself. His mother is very ingenious. If there was a diagram, she could make anything from scratch.

 

Jian Luo picked up the gray-blue cotton pajamas she designed, took a shower and came back sitting on the stretched sofa in the living room to check the news.

 

He said to Lightbrain, “Baidu this. What is wrong with me if I retch after eating bad food?”

 

The Lightbrain buffered for a long time before replying: “At present, this indicates a gastric disease. It is very likely that the human stomach did not manage to adapt to the ingredients, causing stress and lesions, in which severe rejection may lead to cancer…”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Surfing the web using the ball of light was like digging his own grave.

 

He tapped his lips: “I think it should be possible to cure this. Do a search on the symptoms of common illnesses linked to fishy smell and nausea.”

 

The light ball searched for a longer time. After waiting for a while, it said, “Have you been feeling sleepy and tired recently? Whereby, it is obvious that you haven’t done anything, but your appetite has increased?”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up, this seems reliable!

 

He was full of excitement: “It seems that you got it right this time. That’s right, those are my symptoms. Okay, tell me what’s the problem?”

 

The light ball simply said: “If the query is correct, you should be pregnant.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo’s face stiffened instantly. He looked at the information bracelet on his wrist: “You said that this bracelet is outdated, perhaps it is time to get a new one?”

 

The light ball cowardly said: “Please believe in the product. It may be the light ball, but it can be wrong too.”

 

“???”

 

Jian Luo had never heard something so outrageous: “I’m a man, you know. Can a man get pregnant?”

 

“Yes.” The light ball insisted on its own: “Men can.”

 

Jian Luo sneered: “If you were like me, with no husband, pus you don’t even have a room where…”

 

Halfway through his sentence, Jian Luo stopped.

 

As soon as the events of that night appeared in his mind, he had thought it was okay, but just thinking about it made his head buzz.

 

The ball of light said, “What else do you want to ask?”

 

Jian Luo said softly, “Help me check if humans and dragons can reproduce?”

 

“…”

 

This matter was far beyond the light ball’s cognition range, judging from how the light ball was suspiciously silent for a moment.

 

Jian Luo waited for a long time: “Can they?”

 

The ball of light was forced to elaborate: “There is no precedent, so there is no such information.”

 

Jian Luo let out a sigh of relief.

 

It seemed that this was pure nonsense. This damn ball of light was always misleading him and it was really scary. It should just be due to lunch.

 

The light ball gave up: “I suggest you go to the hospital for an examination.”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while and finally agreed: “Okay, I’ll take a look.”

 

Although he thought in his heart that he was highly unlikely to be pregnant, his health was still very important so it was imperative for him to check it out.

 

The next day.

 

Jian Luo came to work at Moonlight today.

 

Just arrived, Kazuki came over and said, “Luoluo. The boss is looking for you.”

 

“Why is the boss looking for me?” Jian Luo was very curious: “For arriving late and leaving early?”

 

Kazuki laughed and laughed: “It should be. In fact, you can see that the boss seems to be very easy to get along with. But in fact, he… is indeed easy to get along with. He has always been more relaxed when it comes to valuable people.”

 

Jian Luo asked: “What’s my value to him then?”

 

Kazuki thought for a while: “I think it’s probably because you cook delicious food and you created dishes that everyone knows about. The boss must also want to train you well.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo was a little desperate: “I just want to be an unremarkable little chef.”

 

Kazuki giggled: “The simple and unremarkable little chef did enter Moonlight so you should be grateful for your ordinaryness.”

 

Jian Luo smiled.

 

The two quickly walked to a door and Jian Luo knocked on it. A male voice came from inside: “Come in.”

 

Jian Luo pushed the doors and walked in.

 

The office was huge, resplendent with gold and blue. The curtains seem to be plated with a layer of bright light and all the tables and chairs were of expensive collections. If the whole room needs to be summarized in one word, it’ll probably be: Grandiose.

 

Nie Yan stood in front of a row of shelves, playing with a small teacup: “Do you know what this is?”

 

Jian Luo glanced at it and answered honestly, “I know.”

 

“Yeah.” Nie Yan’s mouth twitched into a smile: “Of course you know, this is the Tianshui cup brought back from Stan Star. It’s valuable because of its rarity and preciousness.”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

He wants to cut off all contact with the local tyrants.

 

Nie Yan put the cup back on the shelf. His stature was a little smaller than the average Dark Star, around the height of a normal human male, 1.8 meters tall. His face was relatively thin, which gave off a sense of shrewdness.

 

“You are also one of my collections.” Nie Yan turned around as his eyes slid around Jian Luo’s body: “Yesterday you showed your worth to me.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo just told the truth: “First and foremost, I just want to work hard and get paid.”

 

Nie Yan’s mouth twitched slightly: “I thought your salary was already high enough for a human being. As long as you take over and work well, you won’t be treated badly.”

 

Jian Luo was puzzled: “But I can only cook.”

 

Nie Yan went to the sofa beside him and sat down: ” I only need you to cook well. I told you about the seed cultivation place before. It has already been arranged for you. From tomorrow, if nothing out of the ordinary happens, come back to Moonlight.”

 

Jian Luo felt overjoyed.

 

He was very happy to cultivate new vegetables. If they were of use, the discovery of the new vegetables could also be used as a qualification to buy a house. It was like killing three birds with one stone.

 

Nie Yan said to him, “Choose some good vegetables that can be sold at a good price, understand?”

 

“…”

 

He was certainly a businessman.

 

Jian Luo resigned and said, “I will.”

 

Chili peppers were a national treasure. Any dish without chilies is soulless so Jian Luo wanted to cultivate chili peppers to change the hearts of others.

 

Nie Yan added: “I heard that you live broadcast. You can do it in the Moonlight in the future and you can use the ingredients as you like. Do you understand what you should say during the live broadcast?”

 

The corner of Jian Luo’s mouth twitched: “My popularity is low, it wouldn’t bring you any benefit.”

 

“Stupid.” Nie Yan flicked his eyelids to look at him: “Do you know what Moonlight is? It is the one that’s supporting and benefiting you understand?”

 

“…”

 

Let’s forget it. It’s as you said.

 

If he later decides to cook something, he will cook it. Just wait till he chooses the most expensive ingredients later, which will make others cry to death. 

 

Jian Luo responded, “Understood.”

 

Nie Yan waved his hand: “Let’s go.”

 

Jian Luo nodded and when he came out, he saw that Kazuki was guarding the outside. The little girl came over and said, “Luoluo, what did the boss say to you?”

 

Jian Luo scratched his head: “The boss seemed to have asked me to broadcast live in Moonlight.”

 

Kazuki was stunned.

 

Jian Luo looked at her suspiciously: “What’s the matter?”

 

“The boss is too kind to you.” An envious expression appeared on Kazuki’s face: “You know, the biggest food live streaming internet cafe had their most popular broadcaster rejected by us even if they wanted to come to Moonlight to promote themselves.”

 

Jian Luo hesitated: “Really?”

 

Kazuki said fiercely: “We are the most high-end restaurant in the world. No matter where they are from, everyone wants to see the Moonlight.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Then, let’s broadcast it here once.”

 

In fact, it doesn’t matter where the live broadcast is. He started the live broadcast to make money and Nie Yan didn’t seem to need him to cook for the guests, so he will be able to broadcast instead.

 

Back in the kitchen, Jian Luo hadn’t even gone in when he heard the people inside say:

“That Jian Luo. I only ever see his shadow every day at work.”

“Yeah, who knows what he’s here for.”

“Obviously he came through the backdoor.”

 

Kazuki was a little annoyed so she stood up and said loudly, “What are you whispering about!?”

 

Jian Luo took her arm and walked in slowly. He looked around at the people in the kitchen and smirked: “Am I disturbing everyone?”

 

The crowd was silent.

 

Jian Luo walked inside: “Please continue. I was just passing by.”

 

The more lighthearted he was, the less he seemed to care what others thought about him, which made the people who used to mock him now felt like a joke themselves, very mundane.

 

Jian Luo went to the stove behind. It was quiet and no one else was here. He remembered the live broadcast promised to the audience last night, and decided he could start it now.

 

Kazuki followed behind: “Do you want to broadcast live?”

 

“I didn’t bring the live broadcasting equipment.” Jian Luo suddenly remembered this: “Looks like I can’t live broadcast.”

 

Kazuki clapped her hands: “It doesn’t matter. We have one in our warehouse. Are you alright with using that if I bring it for you?”

 

Jian Luo: “Can you do that?”

 

Kazuki said quickly, “Of course I can.”

 

So Jian Luo followed Kazuki to the warehouse to get the live broadcast equipment. He thought that the equipment should be different from the small ball of the live broadcast equipment that he had, but he didn’t expect for the equipment to be a big ball!

 

Kazuki said: “It has many functions, such as viewing the number of people in the live broadcast room, automatic control of barrage, etc. You know, just the basics.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Kazuki asked him, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

 

“Sorry.” Jian Luo said sincerely: “So these are considered its basic functions. The one I have at home doesn’t even have these functions.”

 

This time, Kazuki was silent.

 

After everything was settled, Jian Luo finally used the new equipment. He suddenly started the broadcast, thinking that there was no one in the live broadcast room, but who knew that it would become flooded in in an instant:

“Great! Is that you, the one who vomited?”

“Ah ah ah, I saw someone vomit so many years ago!”

“Can you perform again?”

 

…

 

Jian Luo was very speechless now.

 

The light ball broadcast: “Luoluo’s live broadcast room. The total number of people online last time was 100,000 and the number of people online this time is 250,000. Please make persistent efforts.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “What’s the matter? Did you guys come from the previous live broadcast room?”

 

The barrage saw him stunned and kindly explained:

“We came from Xingwang.”

“Xingwang showed a video of you throwing up.”

“Hey, I’ve only read it in the almanac before.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart skipped a beat, he was really outdated. He then went to Xingwang to watch the video that the audience watched. When he opened Xingwang, which he had not been on for a long time, he saw that the number one trending search was:

#Jinjiang live vomited#

#kill the fish and vomit#

 

Such a shameful hot search really made him speechless. Jian Luo wanted to complain that this group of Dark Stars were really mundane and excessive but when he clicked into the video, he was stunned. Watching the video, he say a group of people commenting:

“It’s been a long time since I was sick. I know what it feels like to vomit.”

“Humans are so fragile.”

“Is this the morning sickness mentioned in books?”

“I’m so envious, I’ve never experienced it before.”

“Did he open holographic sharing yesterday? I also want to experience it.”

 

Overnight, Jian Luo’s live broadcast room became popular because the powerful Dark Stars hardly got sick, so they also wanted to experience this feeling.

 

With the opening of the live broadcast room, more and more people poured in, and the big round ball actually recorded it: [Current online users are 300,000, 400,000, 500,000…]

 

Jian Luo was in a complicated mood: “You guys misunderstood, it’s just that my stomach felt bad yesterday.”

 

He thought it would be good if he explained it, but the audience became even more excited:

“Is your stomach still uncomfortable?”

“My God, I’ve never been uncomfortable.”

“What does it feel like to be uncomfortable?”

 

“…”

 

Go to hell, Dark Stars.

 

Jian Luo felt that she had a belly to vomit, but found that the Dark Stars are quite forceful. Although some of them are quite annoying, they were very generous while watching the live broadcast. Even if they were a little stingy, they swiped to reward him one by one whenever he refreshed the live broadcasting room.

 

Jian Luo took a deep breath: “Okay, everyone. Let’s start cooking.”

 

Even if he was at Moonlight today, he must still limit himself on the ingredients he is using, as though he were at home. Jian Luo touched the mic: “My stomach has been well for the past two days so let’s make a preserved egg and lean meat porridge.”

 

‌By entering the name in the smart freezer on the side, the freezer will automatically deliver one the required ingredients.

 

Jian Luo took out the eggs and said to himself, “This egg will taste even better if it is preserved. It will take about two months for a preserved egg to take shape. However, we will make a box of preserved eggs to eat tomorrow using my method. For now, let’s eat regular eggs today.”

 

As he lowered the bird eggs, the big ball of the live broadcast automatically followed his line of movement downwards before zooming in on the details of his hand. The small ball he had at home had a completely different working attitude and moved like a dead pig.

 

Jian Luo cracked the eggs and said, “Cook it for a while first, then add it in the porridge when it’s cooked. For now, let’s cut the meat.”

 

In the fridge

 

The meat of the noodles is automatically pushed out.

 

Jian Luo picked up the meat and prepared to cut it. The meat that had just been thawed slowly exuded a concealed fishy smell, which came and went, suddenly causing him to react violently. Even he himself was unprepared for what he did.

 

“Bang!”

 

The meat was thrown aside by Jian Luo. He covered his mouth and wanted to endure it, but as he was just holding the meat in his hands previously, the smell became even worse.

 

“Urp…”

 

Jian Luo rushed to the sink and threw up. His breakfast was all vomited out and a stream of gastric juices came out.

 

The audience in the live broadcast room was shocked stupid again:

“What happened?”

“You must be really sick.”

“Is he pregnant?”

“Do you have a problem with your brain in front of you, we may have cubs!”

 

Jian Luo straightened up and leaned against the sink to rest. He felt that he was really uncomfortable and it seemed that it was imperative he went to the hospital.

 

Kazuki heard the movement from behind: “Luoluo, what’s the matter with you?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo raised his head: “It’s nothing, maybe my stomach feels a little bad. I might’ve eaten something wrong yesterday.”

 

Kazuki knew that the human body was very fragile: “Luoluo, you want to go home and rest for two days?”

 

Jian Luo remembered that he had to cultivate new seeds tomorrow, so he said, “Can I ask for a leave today? I’ll come to work as usual tomorrow.”

 

Kazuki nodded: “It’s okay, I’ll tell the master for you later.”

 

Jian Luo is grateful: “Thank you.”

 

“It’s alright,” Kazuki said with a smile on her face: “We’re friends. You should go back quickly.”

 

Jian Luo had no choice but to nod. He went back to watch the live broadcast room and found that the number of online users reached 1.3 million, and this number was still rising.

 

The viewers were very crazy:

“I just felt the taste of vomit.”

“God, this feeling is so uncomfortable. I have never experienced it before.”

“Broadcast ball, continue broadcasting your colleague too. He knows.”

 

“…”

 

Go to hell, Dark Stars.

 

Jian Luo thought for a bit about the broadcast before he packed up and went home. On his way back, he received a call from the school.

 

“Hello, Jian Luo.” A voice came from over the receiver: “Your brother will be able to enroll in these two days. If it is convenient, please bring the relevant documents and bring your brother to go through the formalities.”

 

Jian Luo asked, “Can I do it today?”

 

The professor nodded: “Of course you can.”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while and decided to go to the hospital later. It would be better to take his younger brother to go through the admission procedures first.

 

So he sent a message home: “Mom, take brother to the station and take a taxi back later. I’ll take him to school to enroll.”

 

Su Liang was surprised: “So fast?”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “The school just notified me.”

 

“That’s good.” Su Liang replied: “Luoluo, will it disturb your work? You can ask mother to send him there too.”

 

Jian Luo said: “It’s alright. I went last time so I am familiar with the place. Don’t worry.”

 

In fact, when it came to the accommodation fee, he had deceived Su Liang. It was 30,000 Star Dollars but he said it was 3,000 Star Dollars. However, if this woman knew that it was so expensive, she would definitely feel guilty again.

 

There was a ‘en’ before she hung up. 

 

…

 

“Big brother!”

 

Jian Luo was on the platform as he waited for his younger brother. He took him to the school and said, “Get along well with your classmates. If it has anything, talk to us, your family first. You are not lower than them and you can be friends. Doing so requires some strength, you know?”

 

Please be obedient, little brother.

 

When the two entered the school, an extended version of a luxurious car drove by their side. It had a red number plate, indicating that they were very rich or important. 

 

The little emperor was looking out the window, his eyes lit up: “Uncle Huang, is that Luoluo?”

Lu Shifeng was closing his eyes and resting, when he heard the voice and raised his eyelids, he was sure: “It’s him.”

 

“Luoluo also has a child.” The little emperor asked: “Is it his child?”

 

“…”

 

The temperature inside the car dropped by one degree.

 

Half a second later.

 

Lu Shifeng said: “He has no children, that is his younger brother.”

 

The little emperor blinked: “How can Uncle Huang be so familiar with Nie Yan’s chef?”

 

“Your Majesty is interested in that chef.” Lu Shifeng glanced at him lightly, and hurriedly said, “So it’s normal for me to be a little familiar with his conditions.”

 

The little emperor pouted: “You have no other intentions?”

 

Lu Shifeng mentionned only the perfunctory: “Exceedingly so.”

 

The cloud car gradually drove into the teaching center. The little emperor came this time to find the principal to discuss something. After meeting Jian Luo, the little emperor was even more determined to support the entry of human beings into the campus. He wanted to conduct the pilot project on this campus.

 

The emperor said, “Can uncle accompany me inside?”

 

“Tsk.” Lu Feng sat in the car and moved: “I’m upset to see that old man.”

 

“…”

 

How annoying.

 

The little emperor went in by himself. Jian Luo, who walked behind slowly, was still chatting with his younger brother: “Did you see that? I will study hard in the future so that I can afford that car.”

 

His younger brother asked, “Brother, do you want to buy such a car?”

 

“What nonsense. If you can sit, you wouldn’t want to stand, would you?”

 

“…Yes.”

 

The two brothers walked farther and farther inside. Afterwards, Jian Luo finally met the professor in the office on the first floor: “You told me to come. I’ve come here to go through with  the formalities for my brother.”

 

The professor was the same professor who received him that day.

 

The man said, “You’re too polite, call me Mr. Wang. Is Jian Sheng already here? Xiao Li, take the child to the dormitory. I’ll talk to his guardian!”

 

Xiao Li in the office stood up and responded, “Okay.”

 

There was no one in the office, and Professor Wang said to Jian Luo, “Is Jian Xian doing well recently?”

 

Jian Luo felt a little strange, but despite the strange feeling in his heart, he replied, “He’s okay.”

 

“That’s good.” Professor Wang wiped his glasses: “Jian Sheng still has some books and materials to pick up. I’ll take you there.”

 

Jian Luo hesitated for a while before saying, “Okay.”

 

The two walked out side by side, turned a corridor, and seemed to be going to some isolated place. Jian Luo slowly stopped: “Mr. Wang, I’ll take it later when my brother comes back.”

 

Professor Wang made a move: “It’s okay, we can go get it. We’ll be there soon.”

 

Jian Luo agreed before he began to step back slowly: “I suddenly remembered something urgent so I’ll go and make a phone call first.”

 

He was about to turn around when his arm was grabbed.

 

The Dark Stars are tall and mighty. Human beings cannot break free even with all their strength: “Mr. Jian, I like you very much and I’m your fan. Do you have to be so ruthless?”

 

Jian Luo froze.

 

“Every time I watch your live broadcast, I think your hands are very beautiful.” Professor Wang’s hand rubbed vaguely on Jian Luo’s hand: “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time…”

 

Jian Luo got goosebumps all over and he suddenly wanted to withdraw his hand: “Please…”

 

But the strength of a human being is too weak. He would not let go of Jian Luo no matter what. His face flushed red as he became more agitated.

 

Professor Wang grabbed him and pulled the person in front of him forcefully: “You played this game yourself. Live broadcasting to hook up with a Dark star who is going to launch your status higher. Why are you being so coy and pretending today? Here’s your chance, you should know what to do!”

Chapter 27 – Tested Positive for Pregnancy

 

Jian Luo froze all over.

 

For a moment, he thought of Jiang Jiang. Turning cold, the blood all over his body froze and he didn’t dare look back, fearing that this would be the last second of his life.

 

“Oh?” A familiar voice came from behind him. Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids and looked coldly: “Which dog?”

 

Jian Luo stubbornly turned around and met his blood-red eyes.

 

Lu Shifeng was quite tall. He was more than a head taller than him. When he stood up, he looked condescending, yet as majestic as a mountain. This forced Jian Luo to remember the fear of being dominated by Lu Shifeng, but his reason still did not respond. When he came over, his entire body seemed to be in pain in response.

 

Jian Luo’s body trembled slightly, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: “Tell me, aren’t you always quite talkative?”

 

“…”

 

This is what you egged me to say.

 

Jian Luo stubbornly said, “Well, I didn’t see it clearly. I was bitten at night.”

 

Lu Shifeng squinted his eyes and the atmosphere in the surroundings suddenly became dark. Jian Luo glanced cautiously, and saw Lu Shifeng’s cold eyes looking at him. His eyes seemed to say:

Little. What about your father?

 

Jian Luo was scared so he subconsciously took two steps back, turning his face away: “You asked me so I’ll tell the truth.”

 

The little emperor “pfft” and laughed again.

 

Lu Shifeng turned his face away and said slowly, “Is it funny?”

 

The little emperor received the icy gaze and the smile on his face stiffened. He coughed lightly, “It’s not that funny.”

 

Nie Yan watched it at his leisure, as he pondered about it.

 

Jian Luo really didn’t want to stay here, so he took the initiative to say, “If the guest requires nothing else, I’ll go down first?”

 

His voice fell silent when the two individuals looked at him at the same time.

 

Looking at Jian Luo with this kind of gaze, he was suddenly stressed. He was going to die. Was there anything else he could do? No one ever told me this would happen!

 

Lu Shifeng sat down directly beside the emperor and said, “Sit down.”

 

Jian Luo pointed to himself: “Me?”

 

Nie Yan also immediately repeated after him: “The marshal asked you to sit, so sit down quickly.”

 

Sure enough, Lu Shifeng still had the upperhand so the little emperor didn’t play anymore. Now it seems that with Jian Luo here, the emperor won’t bother them. It’s the best for both of them.

 

Jian Luo was very reluctant, but because of his power, he reluctantly sat down.

 

The little emperor said to Jian Luo, “How can dogs be so good at biting? It only scratched your skin. You can tell me in detail.”

 

“…”

 

You are so annoying.

 

Jian Luo was perfunctory: “I didn’t see it clearly. I’ll tell you next time.”

 

The little emperor was disappointed: “When will the next time be? You must not lie to me.”

 

“Don’t worry.” Jian Luo continued to be perfunctory: “I’m an honest person. I won’t lie to you.”

 

The little emperor persistently asked, “What is your name?”

 

“Jian Luo.”

 

“Are you married? How many people are interested in you? What do you think of my uncle?”

 

The corner of Jian Luo’s mouth twitched: “I think…”

 

The little emperor was full of anticipation. He fluttered his eyelashes and his pale face looked like a delicate porcelain doll. He asked, “What do you think?”

 

“I think you should eat quickly.” Jian Luo pointed to the stinky tofu: “It won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

 

The stinky tofu on the table was still persistently emitting a stench, showing its own presence all the time.

 

The little emperor pointed to tofu and said to Lu Shifeng, “Uncle Huang, do you want to try it?”

 

Lu Shifeng’s expression did not change: “This kind of delicacy can be enjoyed exclusively by Your Majesty.”

 

???

 

The little emperor suspected that Lu Shifeng didn’t want to eat it because he himself didn’t want to eat it, so he tried very hard: “Don’t think about the smell, it’s actually delicious!”

 

Lu Shifeng’s face was expressionless: “Your Majesty should eat more.”

 

…

 

The little emperor looked at Jian Luo angrily: “Luoluo, you said this is what you made. Come and tell Uncle Huang.”

 

Why is it me again?

 

Jian Luo felt that he would also be shot at even if he was lying down, and he said, “It’s delicious.”

 

Lu Shifeng looked sideways: “You made it?”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

“En.” Lu Shifeng picked up his chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth. After tasting a few bites, he said, “It’s really good.”

 

Little Emperor: ???

 

This is discrimination!

 

You are going too far!

 

The little emperor looked at Nie Yan: “Do you want to eat it?”

 

Nie Yan wasn’t very interested in this thing, but if he didn’t eat it, it would seem like he wasn’t respecting the little emperor. As a professional businessman, it was his ethics to put the customer first.

 

Therefore,

 

Nie Yan put a piece of tofu in his mouth. He endured the smell of the tofu and ate it into his mouth. He thought the taste would be unpleasant, but the moment he put it in his mouth, he was stunned.

 

Crispy and soft, the aroma overflowed between one’s lips and teeth.

 

It looked simple and unpretentious, but it tasted amazing!

 

The little emperor was delighted, as though he was the one who had cooked the food himself. Raising his face, he asked: “What? Is it delicious?”

 

“…”

 

Nie Yan smiled: “Of course.”

 

This table was full of exquisite delicacies. After the little emperor finished eating the stinky tofu, he reluctantly moved to the next target.

 

Jian Luo was not hungry at first, but he became hungry after smelling the food.

 

In fact, he wasn’t a particularly greedy person, but for some reason, he’s recently been wanting to eat more and more. He doesn’t know what’s going on with him. 

 

Lu Shifeng glanced: “Aren’t you hungry?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t expect to be asked, so he hurriedly went down the steps without any manners: “Hungry, hungry.”

 

There were chopsticks on the table so he picked them up to eat a piece of vegetables closest to himself. The vegetable was really alien to him, and he didn’t know what it was. It tasted nothing like a vegetable and was waxy when one chewed it. 

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo showed a lifeless expression.

 

Fortunately, the dining table was brilliantly designed with the ability to automatically rotate so some dishes will automatically be changed from the inside to the outside, and so forth.

 

There would soon be a stack of meat coming!

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up, and he showed a longing look at the meat. He stretched out a clip to pick it up, and the chopsticks were sent to the middle. However, Tragedy struck——

 

It was not enough.

 

Because his hands were too short, he couldn’t reach it!

 

Damn. Jian Luo almost shed tears, watching a plate of meat slip away in front of him.

 

Just as he was looking on with hatred, a piece of meat was put into his bowl.

 

Jian Luo raised his head in surprise and met Lu Shifeng’s gaze. The man looked down at him with a faint smile in his eyes and lightly opened his thin lips: “Eat.”

 

“…”

 

He was hateful.

 

Shouldn’t he be laughing at his short hands?

 

Jian Luo firmly picked up the meat and took a bite. The meat was fresh and tender in his mouth, with a milky and strong aroma. He narrowed his eyes happily: “It’s delicious.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Really?”

 

Jian Luo nodded hurriedly.

 

“Eat more.” Having said that, Lu Shifeng stopped looking at him and started to eat too, leaving Jian Luo alone with his empty bowl.

 

???

 

Jian Luo was at a loss and couldn’t believe it. He just let Lu Shifeng bring food to him. Did he suddenly not care about his own life or death?!

 

He came here himself, did he want to be slaughtered by both sides?

 

The outer rotating tray that was closer to him only had vegetables, but now the vegetables were tasteless. He especially wanted to eat spicy food.

 

Meat……

 

Meat!

 

Jian Luo’s heart was beating fast like a drum. He decided to bend himself over for five buckets of rice. He gently tugged at Lu Shifeng’s sleeve. First only once, then twice, then again and again.

 

Lu Shifeng finally turned to look again.

 

The human beside him has black and soft hair, and the fair little face was very pitiful to look at. At this moment, his eyes were sparkling which softened the heart of the person watching.

 

Jian Luo got closer and lowered his voice: “I still want to eat meat.”

 

The corners of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a smile. From such a close distance, he could smell the scent of a dragon, which was his own.

 

From ancient times to the present, the dragon race has always been a race with a strong possessiveness and territorial awareness. They like to circle and mark things that belong to them. It was best if their favourite person could be contaminated with their own scent.

 

Obviously, in Jian Luo’s current case, this pleased a certain dragon with nasty genes in its bones.

 

Lu Shifeng stretched out his arm and put the whole plate of meat that Jian Luo just said was delicious in front of him: “Eat it.”

 

Jian Luo was moved: “Thank you, Marshal.”

 

The little emperor was stunned and felt a little dissatisfied, so he leaned over and said, “Uncle Huang, I also want to eat meat.”

 

Lu Shifeng expressionlessly clipped a leaf between his chopsticks for him: “Balanced nutrition.”

 

“…”

 

The little emperor was silent.

 

Jian Luo ate the meat. The price of food is really expensive now, especially considering the prices on Dark Stars. If you want to eat vegetables, it is expensive, and if you want to eat meat, the price will be even higher. What was the cheapest? Nutrient solution would be the cheapest. You’d also need to rely on yourself to earn money as the meager salary is definitely not enough. Since that was the case, you can’t eat if you have nothing.

 

There is also a small piece of seafood on the plate.

 

Jian Luo took a piece and put it in his mouth. The seafood was delicious, but the fishy smell went straight to his stomach.

 

He frowned suddenly, swallowing down the discomfort.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced: “What?”

 

“No.” Jian Luo put down the chopsticks and suddenly said, “I’m full.”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at it: “Not going to eat anymore?”

 

Jian Luo nodded firmly: “Yes.”

 

There must always be a bottom line, he was not just a foodie! He must always find a way to come back to his senses, and um, yes, this was it! 

 

Kazuki brought the fruit after dinner from behind.

 

In the platter of unremarkable fruits, the holy dragon fruit appeared to be so prominent and shiny.

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up.

 

The little emperor propped his chin to look at the fruit plate: “The fruit trees seem to be very happy this year.”

 

Nie Yan echoed: “Well, the yield of holy dragon fruit was extremely low in previous years. The fruit trees did not even bloom one year.”

 

This year was different.

 

It was as though the Fruit trees were high on drugs. Over the course of a single night, the fruit trees in the entire valley blossomed with abundant fruits that grew well.

 

It’s as if when the trees were bored, they would come up with a few fruits as they wished. When they were in a good mood, perhaps two would blossom, and if they were in a bad mood, they would just go on a strike. However, this year was different.

 

The little emperor said: “Our Dark Star has not birthed new life for many years. The current life forms are basically synthetic gene replicas.”

 

Lu Shifeng finally said: “In recent years, the war has subsided, so the death rate has been decreasing. However, more and more superior genes have been lost due to the war.”

 

“Yeah.” Nie Yan, as a businessman, knew this well: “If things go on like this, the healthy exchange of genes from reproduction will come to an end.”

 

The Dark Stars have been cursed to lose their fertility nearly thousands of years ago. No matter how strong a race is, if no new life is born, it will lead to self-destruction.

 

There was no other way. In order to ensure the survival of the race, the National Research Department, led by priests, started the research and development of gene extraction and synthesis to create test-tube babies. They inherited the superior genes of the previous generations, growing both strong and intelligent.

 

However, the test tube projects also inherited the fatal flaw of infertility.

 

Dark Stars were soon caught in an endless cycle. Their entire planet had an average lifespan of five or six hundred years and have gradually transformed into the era relying on genetic synthesis.

 

The little emperor frowned: “Our excellent gene pool is getting smaller and smaller.”

 

Lu Shifeng leaned back lazily on the back of his chair: “Not everyone with excellent genes are willing to donate genes.”

 

The reason is very simple. Gene synthesis is just a temporary measure. If Dark Star can’t break the curse, they will still become extinct.

 

Jian Luo continued to stare at the holy dragon fruit.

 

The little emperor looked at him: “Luoluo, do you have any ideas?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo turned his head: “What?”

 

The little emperor was suspicious: “Did you not hear us just now?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo glanced around suspiciously: “I was listening. I was, and you’re right, you’re right, hehehe…”

 

There was silence at the dinner table.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Do you want to eat some fruit?”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment and saw that Lu Shifeng was pointing at the holy dragon fruit.

 

The little emperor was delighted: “Is the taste of human beings so strange that they actually like to eat it?”

 

Lu Shifeng handed the fruit to him.

 

Jian Luo took it and asked suspiciously, “Would you like to eat it instead?”

 

“Not really.” The little emperor is a very talkative person: “Actually, the nutritional value is very high, but to the average person it must be somewhat unpalatable because it tastes a little sour.”

 

This can also be regarded as the self-defense tactic of the Holy Tree in order to ensure that the cubs are well-nourished.

 

In order to prevent people from coveting the nourishment of the dragon fruit as well as allow the cubs to eat the fruit.

 

Jian Luo happily peeled the holy dragon fruit, which was just like an ordinary dragon fruit, but white, juicy and sweet, and said, “But we humans are different.”

 

The little emperor nodded in understanding.

 

During the meal, Jian Luo was almost a happy camper, eating and eating, without any sense of oppression or self-consciousness of being at the same table with the characters of significant importance.

 

The emperor was about to return.

 

Jian Luo stood up and respectfully stood aside as he watched him leave. The little emperor walked ahead, and Lu Shifeng stopped in front of Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo waited for a long time without leaving.

 

Lu Shifeng wore a neat military uniform and he was upright. There was always an air of intelligence to him.

 

Jian Luo was suspicious: “Why aren’t you leaving?”

 

“I heard you resigned?” Lu Shifeng looked at him condescendingly: “Why?”

 

“…”

 

You’re still asking why?

 

Why don’t you think of why yourself?

 

I don’t even want to talk about it.

 

Jian Luo casually said, “I just want to try a change of environment and try a new job. It’s nothing else.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Tell the truth.”

 

“Well, there’s no other reason.” Jian Luo said, “I really can’t stand it. You are so cruel. I’ll die again!”

 

The atmosphere suddenly fell into one of embarrassment.

 

After Jian Luo finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. In fact, he was also a little panicked. He was also old-fashioned. Although the two of them eventually got along, after having a taste of each other, it was still difficult to hide the pain of separation after.

 

If Lu Shifeng did that again, who could stand it!

 

Sure enough, when the words were said, Lu Shifeng’s eyes changed, those phoenix eyes raised slightly: “So you are angry with this handsome man?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo hurriedly said, “Don’t dare.”

 

Lu Shifeng, the beast, nodded: “It’s better if you do not dare to.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo looked up in disbelief.

 

The little emperor in front shouted to the back and Lu Shifeng stepped away, leaving a single sentence behind: “Come back anytime you want to.”

 

Jian Luo was dumbfounded.

 

Before he went back, he was going to think about it deeply but Kazuki, who had been waiting, came over: “Luoluo, you are also amazing, you actually had dinner with the guests!”

 

Jian Luo took her back and said, “Do people know about this?”

 

Kazuki shook her head: “I haven’t said it yet but the master knows. I haven’t told anyone else.”

 

“Well, it’s for the best.” Jian Luo sighed: “I want to keep a low profile and hang back. I don’t want to be the target of public criticism.”

 

Kazuki liked his temperament very much.

 

After returning to the kitchen, Jian Luo took a shower and it was already time to get off work. It was alright to leave a minute early and he would definitely not stay behind so he packed up and left.

 

When he got back, it was already dark.

 

His younger brother came out of the house: “Big brother!”

 

Jian Luo looked happy and bent over: “What’s the matter, did something good happen?”

 

“Mom tried the live broadcast today.” His younger brother whispered in Jian Luo’s ear mysteriously: “Jinjiang seems to have given her a recommendation, and mother earned stars today.”

 

Jian Luo’s mouth twitched into a smile: “Really?”

 

HIs younger brother nodded fiercely: “Well, but mother won’t let me tell you. She said she wants to work harder.”

 

Jian Luo understood this very well.

 

He touched his younger brother’s head: “I didn’t hear anything just now.”

 

His younger brother laughed.

 

After entering, Jian Luo said hello to Su Liang. After returning from work, he always made dinner every night after seven o’clock. The meal is made during a live broadcast. Even if he was a food blogger, he couldn’t broadcast all day. He had to go to work during the day so the prime time to do a live broadcast was at night.

 

Su Liang said: “The kitchen is clean. If you need any help, Luoluo, let me know. “

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you, mom.”

 

After tying his apron, he walked into the kitchen. It was completely different from the dark and narrow space before. After getting some money, Su Liang was a woman with ingenuity so she invested some into the place.

 

The live broadcast light ball opened and Jian Luo waved: “Hey, I’m Luoluo. Have you eaten yet?”

 

Almost as soon as the broadcast started, a bunch of people crowded in:

“Anchor, I miss you to death.”

“I haven’t eaten yet. I’ve been waiting for you. I’ll eat while you cook.”

“Hahaha, what are we eating today?”

“What’s the thing behind the anchor, take a good look!”

 

Jian Luo looked behind him and found that he had actually drawn the design of the dream catcher before when he had nothing to do. Su Liang was tinkering with it and hung it outside the kitchen window. The small blue dream catcher was gentle and gentle. It was elegant as it was suspended in the air, beautifully swaying gently with the wind.

 

“That is a dream catcher.” Jian Luo smiled and deliberately zoomed the camera away so that anyone could see clearly: “If you have nothing to do, you can make one yourself and hang it anywhere. It can catch your nightmares if you hang it by your bedside.”

 

The audience was clearly interested:

“It looks complicated, do you have a link? I’ll buy it.”

“Look at it, did the anchor make it yourself?”

“Anchor, why don’t lower your head? We want to see your face.”

 

Jian Luo simply explained: “My mother made it. If you’re interested, I’ll let her live stream and teach you.”

 

Back to business, it’s time to make dinner.

 

There was a washed pumpkin and a fish on the chopping board in the kitchen. Jian Luo picked up the pumpkin first: “Today, let’s fry a pumpkin pie, and then make a steamed fish. In fact, spicy fish fillet is very delicious. But I have no spices in current conditions, so let’s forget it.”

 

He adjusted the direction of the small ball while talking.

 

Because it was too close, a little bit of his face was exposed. Just when the audience was eagerly waiting for Jian Luo’s face to be fully revealed, a golden light flashed across the screen: [Ultimate Alliance Leader entered the live broadcast room]

 

The audience was completely blinded by this golden light.

 

This sparked some dissatisfaction:

“The lag caused me to be unable to see the anchor.”

“He just showed a small section of his face. It’s so white and tender.”

“So cute, I like it.”

 

A group of people started to have unrealistic ideas, but Jian Luo didn’t pay attention and found that after the small ball was used by Su Liang, some parameters were not adjusted properly.

 

As he readjusted the camera and his face was on the verge of being exposed at any time, the audience became more crazy, and their speech became more explicit. They were all looking forward to it, when suddenly:

 

[Ready, set, aim! A deep-water torpedo has been shot for the anchor. Catch my love for you!]

 

Accompanying the torpedo is the special visual effect of the, which obscured the entire live broadcast page, making it blurry and unclear. After waiting for a while, everyone thought it was over when…

 

Ten seconds later, after the special effect ended, the viewers were greeted by more donation messages on screen:

【Ready, set, aim!】

【Ready, set, aim!】

【Ready, set, aim!】

 

The bolts of thunder appeared one after another, and the special visual effects finally stopped after Jian Luo fixed the camera. When Jian Luo innocently watched the live page, there seemed to be no special effects. After he was satisfied with the current angle, he said: “Okay, let’s continue the live broadcast!”

 

A barrage of the chat wailed:

“Ready, set, aim and shoot down that viewer for me.”

“I have a psychological trauma after hearing those three words.”

“Hahaha, my God.”

 

Jian Luo did not bother to hear the chat wailing. Instead, he began to deal with the fish first. He’s used to this kind of preparation. The fish is cut open with a knife before the internal organs are dealt with. There is hardly any hesitation when he cuts the fish up in a neat manner.

 

The audience is puzzled:

“Fish is not tasty.”

“The bones are prickly and it tastes fishy.”

“Yes, I don’t like to eat it either.”

 

Seeing the barrage, Jian Luo also explained: “If you have some, you can use wine to remove the fishy smell, it will be more delicious when steamed. For today, we are steaming the fish so pay attention. We will also be cooking fish soup later. It is very delicious and its high nutritional value is suitable for replenishing the body. As for its bones, they are unavoidable.”

 

The scene was originally bloody, but the gentle voice gave others a quiet and peaceful feeling, healing the hearts of others unconsciously.

 

While making fish, Jian Luo didn’t forget to show off: “I used to be very good at making fish, so I’m very good at this…urp”

 

Before he could finish speaking, the fish was disemboweled and its fishy smell rushed up, causing Jian Luo to vomit a lot. He covered his mouth and ran to the pool to vomit.

 

The audience was shocked stupid.

 

The incident happened suddenly, so no one responded in time.

 

Some people were still stunned. The bragging anchor just vomited in their faces.

 

Jian Luo retched for a while. After finding that he was only retching and no longer vomiting, and that there was nothing wrong anymore, he returned. Fortunately, the camera was not focused on the side where the pool of vomit was: “It’s nothing, I’ve been feeling unwell recently. There’s nothing wrong with the fish. It’s okay, now we’re going to deal with the fish again.”

 

While speaking, Jian Luo picked up the fish on the chopping board again, lowered his head and said, “I’ve dealt with this many times and I’ve never reacted adversely before so… urp…”

 

The fishy smell spread again, making people’s stomachs roll. Almost without hesitation, the fish was thrown aside and Jian Luo ran away again.

 

The audience was dumbfounded again:

“Is the host okay?”

“How can this happen? It’s so serious, could it be that you’re sick?”

“It’s not like that, it was fine before.”

“Cough cough, don’t you think this situation is very much like the reaction mentioned in the book, it says here…”
