Chapter 41 – Relationship with Mr. Nie

 

After discussing it with the other side, Jian Luo was very happy. He was about to sleep, but his little brother in the lower bunk suddenly said, “Brother, can I sleep with you?”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment and replied, “Come up.”

 

Jian Luo got up and rustled for a while as the other climbed up. He hugged his pillow and sat obediently beside Jian Luo.

 

“You’re really prepared.” Jian Luo couldn’t help but laugh and cry internally: “Tell me, why did you suddenly think of sharing the bed with your brother?”

 

Jian Sheng lay beside him: “Brother, do you think I can be a soldier?”

 

Why are you suddenly asking this question?

 

Jian Luo thought for a while: “You don’t have confidence in yourself?”

 

“No.” Jian Sheng’s voice was hesitant in the dark: “They said that humans cannot be soldiers because of their short lifespan and insufficient ability.”

 

Jian Luo lay on the bed: “Why do you want to be a soldier?”

 

The little brother next to him leaned against him: “Because I want to protect you and mom. I don’t want to farm, I want to be more capable.”

 

For ordinary human beings, if they wanted to become stronger, there were other ways than joining the army, as it is basically a fantasy.

 

Jian Luo put his hand under his head: “Becoming a soldier is not the only way. Do you think big brother has protected you?”

 

His younger brother thought for a while: “Yes.”

 

“That’s just it.” Jian Luo said slowly, without a heavy tone: “Whether as a dark star or a human being, everyone should live well within their own capabilities. Even as a little person, we have our own way of living. However, I don’t really mind. I don’t want to force you to realize any dreams because of me and my mother. Mom won’t think anything of it, just live according to what you want.”

 

Jian Sheng seemed to understand but also not understand.

 

“But you have to pay the price and effort for your choice.” Jian Luo said slowly, “No one else is worthy enough of deciding your life for you.”

 

Jian Sheng raised his head slightly: “Big brother, what is your dream in life?”

 

“Me?” Jian Luo really didn’t think about it, so he thought about it carefully: “Actually, I don’t have any dreams.”

 

Jian Sheng seemed to be a little surprised: “No dreams?”

 

Of course the child thought that it would be an amazing one. After all, in his opinion, how can he have no dreams, if he was so good at talking about dreams!

 

“En.” Jian Luo didn’t want to hide it from him: “I don’t have a dream. I just want to have a car, a house and food. If it goes well, I want to relax and travel. If it goes even better, maybe I will meet someone and live my life with a like-minded person.”

 

His younger brother was curious: “Big brother, what kind of person do you like?”

 

What kind of person?

 

This question was really embarrassing.

 

He liked the same gender, and he definitely liked strong tops.

 

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but think of Lu Shifeng, a peerless top with a strong body. However, after pondering again, it was more important for both parties to be like-minded.

 

Although the top was good, one can’t be greedy.

 

Just as Jian Luo was about to speak, a slight snoring sound came from beside him. Jian Sheng, who was beside him, had wanted to chat, but he fell asleep quickly. The child put his legs on him in a wide, bandit’s  stance.

 

Jian Luo sighed helplessly and slowly moved Jian Sheng’s legs away. If it were in the past, it was fine. But now he has a child in his stomach, although the little dragon cubs were said to be very strong, he still needed to be careful.

 

The light panel on the wall radiated a little bit of light.

 

Jian Luo looked at the flickering light as his thoughts diverged a little, before he gradually fell asleep too.

 

“Ding Ding.”

 

The alarm sounded.

 

Jian Luo, who woke up from the dream, sat up suddenly. He looked at his bracelet. It was 7:00 in the morning and it was already bright outside.

 

Jian Sheng next to him frowned: “Big brother? You got up so early.”

 

Jian Luo comforted him: “I’m going to work overtime today. Do you want to go to school in the afternoon? I’ll come back early to take you there, alright?”

 

Jian Sheng fell back asleep: “Got it.”

 

…

 

Never mind.

 

Jian Luo packed up and prepared to go out. Because he was going out to talk business today, he had specially washed his hair.

 

Su Liang said, “Going out?”

 

“En.” Jian Luo was still wearing a white shirt and black trousers: “I’m going out to meet a client.”

 

Su Liang looked at Jian Luo’s body. To be honest, she felt that Jian Luo was thin. Other women tend to get fatter and become swollen at the abdomen when they have children, but not Jian Luo. He had a small frame and no flesh on his body. Some time ago, she managed to feed him till his face was rounder, but he has now lost weight.

 

“Don’t work too hard.” Su Liang couldn’t bear it any longer: “The Marshal… doesn’t he care about you at all?”

 

Jian Luo put on shoes: “What does it have to do with him?”

 

“…”’

 

Su Liang was silent.

 

Okay, she could see it clearly. This son of hers has never thought about marrying the marshal and enjoying a happy life. He was still concentrating on his career now.

 

For a while, Su Liang didn’t know whether to feel happy or unfortunate. They were both two different kinds of life, and Jian Luo has already made a choice.

 

“Luoluo, where are you?”

 

The information bracelet received a message.

 

Jian Luo opened it and said, “I just went out.”

 

“Oh, then I happened to come to Peace Paradise to do some errands. Where are you? I’ll pick you up by the way.” Jiang Jiang sent a message: “I drive there.”

 

That’s fine.

 

Jian Luo was not shy: “I’ll wait for you under the tree at the head of the village.”

 

Because the driver said that he was always on call, Jian Luo got up and only dared to wait in the open after confirming that the driver was out of sight in the village.

 

After a while, Jiang Jiang arrived: “Luoluo, get in the car.”

 

Jian Luo got into the car at an unbelievable speed, like a thief: “Okay, let’s go.”

 

Jiang Jiang laughed: “Is someone tailing behind you?”

 

Jian Luo wiped the sweat from his head: “No one is. It’s just too hot. There is air-conditioning in your car, so it’s more comfortable here.”

 

Jiang Jiang thought he was praising his car.

 

The two were in the car when Jian Luo asked him, “Do you have a detailed plan of that food processing factory?”

 

“No.” Jiang Jiang did not plan this yet: “To be honest, I actually want you to set up this factory and I will be your shareholder.”

 

Jian Luo was surprised: “I’m settling it?”

 

Jiang Jiang smiled: “Yes, I think based on your talent in cooking and my connections, this food factory will not be difficult to set up. Moreover, in addition to broadcasting live at Jinjiang Network, anyone who wants to go to your physical store can come to your food factory, which will make a very considerable profit.”

 

When one thought about it, it was a win-win situation.

 

Jiang Jiang wanted to set up a new business. He has connections, but he lacks real popular products. He needed Jian Luo’s innovation and ability to come up with goods. On the other hand, even if Jian Luo wanted to start a business, he had no connections.

 

Jian Luo thought for a while, but didn’t refuse: “I’ll think about it first.”

 

Jiang Jiang said while driving: “It’s okay. You can think about it as you like. We are going to see my senior sister. She has a factory ready to be rented or sold. We’ll discuss about it.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay.”

 

The place where the two parties had an appointment to meet was at Moonlight. As one of the most expensive places for dark stars, Moonlight was the choice of most celebrities. Jian Luo and Jiang Jiang walked up to the second floor together.

 

There was always a uniform greeting at the entrance of Moonlight: “Welcome to Moonlight!”

 

When the many employees saw Jian Luo, their expressions were a little weird. They would inevitably look at him a few more times in shock.

 

Jiang Jiang patted his hair: “Luoluo.”

 

Jian Luo: “Huh?”

 

“Is it possible that I can’t hide my richness anymore?” Jiang Jiang’s tone was full of pride: “They seem to all admire me very much.”

 

“…”

 

I’m afraid you misunderstood.

 

But even so, Jian Luo still bit the bullet: “Maybe it is so.”

 

Jiang Jiang was very proud and the corner of his mouth evoked a satisfied smile: “Let’s go. I don’t think there is any reason for senior sister to disagree with us!”

 

Jian Luo was very lamentful.

 

The two of them went up to the second floor. In the distance, they saw a woman sitting by the window, dressed in fine clothes.

 

Jiang Jiang took the initiative to greet her, “Senior Sister Wen.”

 

Wen Sheng nodded lightly, looked at Jian Luo again and said warmly, “Is this the chef you mentioned?”

 

Jiang Jiang nodded: “Yes.”

 

“A human?” Wen Sheng seemed a little surprised: “I really didn’t expect this.”

 

Jian Luo frowned slightly, but quickly smoothed it out. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Senior sister, I really didn’t expect this too. Are you a dark star?”

 

Wen Sheng’s face changed: “Of course I’m a dark star.”

 

Jian Luo sat down, and replied as if it were a matter of fact: “Then, of course, I am a human.”

 

Wen Sheng had to admit that she was a little stunned, not only because Jian Luo was really different from all the humans she had seen before, but also because before, she was far away and couldn’t see clearly before. Now that it was clear what Jian Luo was wearing was AC’s summer limited edition shirt. A single shirt starts at 15w, and that didn’t include the pants and shoes.

 

Where did a human get so much money from? This was too unimaginable, unless it was a fake.

 

“Which store did Mr. Jian by his AC from?” Wen Sheng smiled but asked, “I remember it seems to be a limited edition, so it’s quite hard to buy?”

 

Jian Luo lowered his head and glanced at himself: “Well, I forgot.”

 

At that time, he bought too many clothes at once. Lu Shifeng told the people to stack and pack them together. How could he remember which store it was from?

 

Wen Sheng was stunned: “Forgot?”

 

“I don’t have to remember it, right?” A smile appeared on Jian Luo’s delicate face: “And this is a men’s model. You may go and find out more about it. You can also buy the women’s model.”

 

“…”

 

Wen Sheng’s mouth twitched.

 

An invisible scent¹Not actually scent, Just metaphor to describe how the dinner table has become a Warfield. of gunpowder gradually filled the dinner table. Jiang Jiang didn’t expect this meeting to cause such a scene.

 

Jiang Jiang tried to warm it up: “Let’s order first.”

 

With the menu delivered, Wen Sheng took the lead in picking up the menu: “Why don’t I order first? I come here often. You may not have been here before, so you can just order a copy of what I ordered in a bit.”

 

Jian Luo fiddled with the tableware between his fingers: “Do whatever you want.”

 

Wen Sheng called the waiter, ordered a few dishes, and finally added: “They will have the same as me.”

 

The waiter looked at Jian Luo.

 

There was half-cooked meat included in these dishes, and by now, everyone in Moonlight knews that Jian Luo doesn’t eat undercooked meat.

 

Sure enough, Jian Luo said, “Since senior sister finished ordering, give me the menu. I will order food myself.”

 

Wen Sheng paused, looking at Jian Luo in shock. She then passed the menu to Jian Luo and stared closely, as if she was sitting and waiting for Jian Luo to make a fool out of himself.

 

After taking the menu, Jian Luo said to the waiter, “I want to drink rice porridge today.”

 

“Is it white rice porridge?” The waiter was respectful to others, he subconsciously tried to become more familiar with him: “A lot of new products have been released recently, why don’t I bring them to you to try?”

 

Jian Luo propped his chin with one hand: “I just want to drink rice porridge.”

 

The waiter responded with a hum and then went off. He had also asked about Jian Luo’s taste intimately, and whether he wanted to eat other small dishes. The degree of his attentiveness was jaw-dropping.

 

What surprised Wen Sheng the most was that Moonlight’s ordering procedure had to always be chosen from the regular menu, but why was Jian Luo different?

 

Jian Luo met her gaze: “What’s wrong?”

 

Wen Sheng pouted, hiding his inner thoughts: “It’s nothing.”

 

After ordering, it was time to discuss things. Wen Sheng spoke upfront: “I was going to sell my factory, but Jiang Jiang, since you are my junior brother. If you want to rent it, I will definitely consider it.”

 

Jiang Jiang sat up straight: “Senior sister, you said before that the rent will be 200,000 a month. It is a bit expensive. Can you make it less?”

 

“A little less?” Wen Sheng sneered: “Junior brother, this is really the lowest price for me. If not for the sake of our relationship, I won’t rent it to you.”

 

Jiang Jiang glanced at Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo roughly thought about it: “If we make an annual payment, will it be cheaper?”

 

“Annual payment?” Wen Sheng glanced at Jian Luo, her tone stretched out strangely and contradictory: “That would be very expensive too, three or four million star dollars!”

 

The porridge was served.

 

Jian Luo picked up the spoon and took a sip: “You can’t go any cheaper?”

 

Wen Sheng was still irritated: “It’s not that I’m not giving it to you cheaply. If you go and ask around, I’m really worth the price.”

 

Jian Luo responded, “Then I’ll go and find out.”

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Wen Sheng’s chest heaved up and down with anger. Why was this human being so uneducated? He also didn’t play his cards like others at all?

 

The group was talking when suddenly, there was some movement from the corner. Jian Luo followed the sound and saw that Nie Yan, who was wearing an ordinary noble costume, was standing behind the stairs. He must have come to inspect the restaurant again. Yes, the richest man always liked to do things on his own and was very dedicated.

 

Nie Yan was listening to the report of his subordinates, when he suddenly noticed Jian Luo’s back. From a distance, the richest man squinted and rubbed his eyes.

 

“Is that Mr. Nie?” Wen Sheng’s tone couldn’t hide her excitement: “I really didn’t expect to see him here.”

 

On the contrary.

 

Jian Luo was much more indifferent. Because it was his rest day, he just nodded slightly when he saw the boss, which was regarded as a greeting.

 

Who knew that Nie Yan would stride over directly.

 

Jian Luo slapped the action of playing with the spoon.

 

Wen Sheng was surprised. She could not operate her factory anymore, but Nie Yan controlled 70% of the world’s economy, so as long as she had a connection with this boss, she would never have to worry about doing business again. Seeing that Nie Yan was getting close, Wen Sheng took the initiative to speak: “Mr. Nie…”

 

Nie Yan’s eyes just landed on Jian Luo: “You’re only eating this?”

 

?

 

Jian Luo glanced at the white porridge: “I’ve added salt, it’s alright.”

 

“What kind of nutritional value does this have?” Boss Nie, who was very wealthy and rich turned his head and glanced at the manager: “Go, make a new dish.”

 

The manager’s heart became numb: “Yes.”

 

After all, the boss has been wanting to invite Mr. Jian over for dinner some time ago. Of course, only one or two out of ten times was he ever successful.

 

Everyone in Moonlight has fully understood what dishes to serve, as long as they are nutritious, they were all served. It only made sense, come to think about it. Mr. Jian seems to have become thinner.

 

Wen Sheng was surprised: “Jian Luo, do you know Mr. Nie?”

 

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

 

…

 

Wen Sheng choked.

 

In fact, nothing’s the matter, but how should she approach this?

 

Could it be that Jian Luo actually knew such a big person? Should she ask Jian Luo to introduce her to him instead?

 

Wen Sheng’s face turned blue and white, and she said slowly: “That, actually, I…”

 

She was interrupted by Nie Yan before she could finish speaking. The richest man twisted the ring in his hand and said slowly, “Are you two friends of Luoluo?”

 

Wen Sheng nodded quickly: “Yes, Boss Nie, we all know each other.”

 

“Oh~” Nie Yan looked at her and Jiang Jiang through his golden glasses: “Luoluo’s friend is Moonlight’s friend. I’ll treat you to this meal. Have a nice meal.”

 

?

 

A question mark appeared over Jian Luo and the two people beside him at the same time.

 

Terrified, Jian Luo quickly said, “Boss, it’s okay. We will just pay for it ourselves.”

 

Wen Sheng felt that this might be a good opportunity to strengthen their friendship, so he took the initiative to say: “Mr. Nie, how embarrassing. Since we’ve met, have you eaten? Why don’t you sit down and eat with us?”

 

In fact, she was still deep in her hallucinations.

 

With Nie Yan’s identity, what kind of high-end wine professionals could she invite with the richest man backing her?

 

Generally, one had to make an appointment half a month in advance, to see the richest man, who will choose who he wanted to meet according to their value.

 

But Nie Yan only lifted his eyelids to glance at Jian Luo before nodding lightly: “Sure.”

 

Wen Sheng was overjoyed.

Jian Luo was terrified.

Jiang Jiang was dumbfounded.

 

Because Jiang Jiang was sitting beside Wen Sheng, Nie Yan naturally sat beside Jian Luo and said to Jian Luo, “Don’t drink the porridge, eat something else later.”

 

Jian Luo sighed: “I don’t want to eat greasy food.”

 

Wen Sheng next to him was very surprised. Could this be a conversation between an ordinary boss and a partner? Was Mr. Nie so casual?

 

And isn’t Jian Luo just a live-streamer?

 

How did he know Mr. Nie?

 

Nie Yan’s tone was extravagant, but he spoke like an old woman: “Recently, a few boxes of holy dragon fruit have come in. They have been developed into ice cream by Kazuki. You can’t keep your mouth shut like this, what if you don’t get enough nutrition? You’re already so thin as is, you want to go further? Didn’t I say, Lu Shifeng was good at fighting, but he is really behind on taking care of others.”

 

Jian Luo smiled, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

 

Nie Yan frowned: “What are you laughing at, did I say something wrong?”

 

“No.” But you dared talk slander Lu Shifeng. Jian Luo changed the subject: “I was just laughing casually…”

 

Nie Yan snorted coldly.

 

Wen Sheng, who was on the opposite side, could see that Jian Luo really had an unusual relationship with Mr. Nie. She immediately changed her mind: “Luoluo, if you want to rent my factory, I will give it to you cheaply.”

 

Jiang Jiang next to him was stunned.

 

This good senior sister of his from before was unwilling to cut the price by half a cent. Why did she change her temperament now?

 

Jian Luo looked up at her, but unexpectedly refused: “Didn’t Senior Sister just say that there was no way? I don’t want to take advantage of you, so forget it.”

 

Wen Sheng was stunned.

 

Jiang Jiang was also a little hesitant: “Luoluo…”

 

“The basis of cooperation is the mutual respect of both parties.” Jian Luo also explained it and said: “I came to negotiate the price sincerely, but senior sister just refused to give in, which really made me unable to see the sincerity of cooperation.”

 

He might be stupid, but he not this stupid either.

 

Wen Sheng’s attitude has changed so quickly. Wasn’t it just because of the boss’s name? He and Nie Yan are really just casual acquaintances, so if this business was really negotiated, there will be endless troubles for him later.

 

Wen Sheng’s expression turned even more ugly: “Luoluo, there may be some misunderstanding.”

 

Nie Yan fiddled with the ring in his hand. After listening, he also read the mood in the room. The richest man smiled: “Where is the factory?”

 

Wen Sheng didn’t expect to be asked, and quickly answered, “It’s the factory at Fuye Park in the west. I was going to sell it. Mr. Nie, are you interested in acquiring it? I want to change careers soon and am very experienced. You can consider hiring me.”

 

Nie Yan raised his eyebrows: “Fuye Park in the west?”

 

“Yes, yes.” When Wen Sheng saw the opportunity, she immediately ignored Jian Luo and stared at her new boss.

 

Nie Yan thought for a while, then turned his face and said to Jian Luo, “There is a chemical factory in the west. If you want to open a food factory, Jianye Garden in the south is better.”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

 

“Yeah.” Nie Yan enjoyed this kind of adoration. The richest man in the world finally found something he was good at: “Moonlight is the biggest food company and has always had its own supply chain. Recently, I happened to have the idea of expanding production. If you have the idea of opening a factory, you can follow Moonlight in this business.”

 

Wen Sheng was dumbfounded.

 

A sudden regret spread from the bottom of her heart. Listening to this, does that mean Jian Luo had a say in Moonlight’s expansion plan?

 

Couldn’t it be that she could have worked together with Moonlight?

 

“But…” Jian Luo didn’t immediately agree. He had his own thoughts: “I might not be able to keep up with Moonlights’s big factory. I only expected to run a small factory.”

 

Nie Yan said casually: “The big factory can share a space with you, I’ll take you to see it in two days.”

 

After thinking about it, Jian Luo decided to respond first. After all, although Boss Nie was quite stingy sometimes, he handles things very well. The bigger problem was if he could make more money or let Boss Nie become a shareholder.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo was relieved. He said, “Okay, thank you.”

 

Slowly, the waiters brought the dinner. Jian Luo just drank too much water so he said, “I’m going to the washroom.”

 

Nie Yan nodded.

 

Jian Luo stood up and was about to go out, but Wen Sheng, who was opposite him suddenly stretched out her hand to grab him, trying to struggle: “Luoluo, I want to go too, let’s go together…”

 

When she pulled him so suddenly, Jian Luo was subconscious and wanted to dodge, but when he turned his body, he touched the water glass and warm water was spilled, wetting his wrists.

 

Nie Yan’s face changed greatly, and he stood up suddenly: “Jian Luo!”

 

Jian Luo shook his hands and said warmly, “It’s alright, I’ll go to the bathroom and wipe it off.”

 

Nie Yan was relieved when he saw that he was fine. The man lifted his eyelids and glanced at Wen Sheng, his eyes were sharp and a little hostile.

 

Wen Sheng gasped in her heart: “I, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t bother to care anymore. He said, “I have a change of clothes in my storage compartment. I’ll go to the bathroom to clean up first.”

 

“I’ll accompany you.” Jiang Jiang took the initiative to ask: “You won’t be able to move around easily on your own.”

 

Nie Yan was about to speak, but Jian Luo quickly agreed with Jiang Jiang: “Okay, let’s go.”

 

To be honest, he really didn’t dare to let the richest man accompany him. How embarrassing. He should go with Jiang Jiang, at least he’ll be more comfortable with a fellow brother.

 

Moonlight’s bathroom was very luxurious and there was no one in it.

 

Jian Luo’s information bracelet was soaking wet. The quality of this thing has been getting worse and worse in the past two months. This time, it was soaked in water and the screen was a little blurred. He took it off and gave it to Jiang Jiang: “Help me hold it. I’ll go into the cubicle to change my clothes.”

 

Jiang Jiang was also a happy person: “Go, I’ll take care of it for you.”

 

Jian Luo smiled, nodded, and then went in to change clothes with confidence. Jiang Jiang, who was outside dutifully guarding the door, was standing when a message suddenly came from the information bracelet.

 

Jiang Jiang tapped it open but saw that the sender’s name was blocked out. The content of the message was very bizarre:

 

[There is a good location at Linya Villa in Imperial City’s No. 1. Would you like to take a look?】

 

?

 

There were many question marks on Jiang Jiang’s head.

 

He knew that Imperial City No. 1 was the most expensive location in the Dark Star’s Imperial City and the prices were sky-high. It was a place that only nobles would consider.

 

Was this a scam sales pitch?

 

Jiang Jiang was thinking about it when the message came again: “There are a few vacant buildings over there, you can choose whichever you want.”

 

Originally it was just a suspicion, but Jiang Jiang is now very sure that this is definitely a scam. Hehe, you can choose whatever conditions you want?!

 

As a good brother, it is necessary to keep such scammers from one’s friends!

 

Jiang Jiang asked Jian Luo: “Luoluo, is your information bracelet not set up to block others so that fraudulent information can’t be received?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo didn’t quite understand dark star technology: “Maybe it’s not set.”

 

Jiang Jiang, as a coder, understood this: “Then let me handle it for you?”

 

Jian Luo had no opinion and said casually, “Okay.”

 

Jiang Jiang got his permission, so he thought about it for a while before quickly replying: “Choosing any one from Imperial City’s No. 1? Why don’t you let me pick a spaceship? Don’t send me any more messages.”

Chapter 40 – Locked and captured

 

Jian Luo was stunned stupid.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo nodded profusely: “Yes.”

 

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

 

NO, I have not.

 

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

 

There was silence all around.

 

Half a second later.

 

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

 

Luckily he didn’t drink it.

 

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

 

The room fell silent again.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo’s heart sank.

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng raised his brows.

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

Jian Luo gave up: “I took a sip.”’

 

Lu Shifeng sneered.

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng took the first two steps and walked over.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

He understood the reason.

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng gave a low “en”.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Oh so that’s how it is.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Wow, thanks.

 

The next day.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

???

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo didn’t feel happy at all.

 

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

 

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

 

As he finished his sentence, the room was silent.

 

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

 

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

 

The maid was still hesitant.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The maids nodded obediently: “Understood.”

 

Jian Luo waved his hand: “Let’s go.”

 

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

 

Jian Luo fell slumped on the bed and sighed heavily.

 

“Beep.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Ok.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

While thinking about it, Jian Luo walked out.

 

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

 

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

 

The driver replied: “Okay.”

 

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

Investing in shares of Moonlight?

Buying something that appreciates in value?

Or opening his own shop?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The driver replied: “Okay.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo responded, “Okay, thank you.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

That really happened.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo was curious: “Why?”

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo thought about it and gradually understood the reason.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo sighed.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo: “Okay, thank you.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo’s heart gradually sank.

 

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

 

There was still hope!

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Big brother!”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

“The marshal gave us a martial arts demonstration.”

“He’s too good.”

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Yeah?

 

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

 

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

 

But……

 

But was it necessary?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo replied, “Yes.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo thought about it. It was feasible.

 

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

 

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

 

Jiang Jiang responded quickly: “Okay!”

 

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

 

Jian Luo had no objections.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay.”

 

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

 

Having a meal together?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Chapter 39 – Stomach bump-preserving soup

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The woman next to him was at a loss.

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Breathtaking.

 

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

 

The crowd applauded slowly.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo pouted.

 

He felt humiliated inside.

 

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

 

However, the marshal did not do as he wished.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo raised his hand suspiciously.

 

Lu Shifeng held his hand: “Let’s go.”

 

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

 

Jian Luo said, “I can go by myself.”

 

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

 

“…Oh.”

 

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

 

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

 

They arrived at the Lake Pavilion.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

???

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Your Majesty, you hid it so well.

 

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

 

Nice.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Princess, why bother.

 

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

 

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

 

Nie Yan sat down and looked at Jian Luo.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng looked back: “Then keep it.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Aya felt unbelievable!

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng lowered his head: “What?”

 

“…”

 

Well, definitely not.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng looked at him.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng leaned down.

 

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

 

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

 

Yes!

 

The barbecue technique of the Chinese nation has been recognized.

 

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

 

That was too cute!

 

Nie Yan said not far away, “Luoluo.”

 

Jian Luo raised his head: “Boss?”

 

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

 

Jian Luo looked at him.

 

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

 

…

 

No, I don’t have enough for myself.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

Lu Shifeng’s shoulders shook.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

All of them have eaten.

 

Princess Aya above couldn’t sit still at all.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo still ignored her.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him silently and sneered.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

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

 

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

 

Zhan Wentai gave him a slight nod.

 

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

 

Jian Luo gently poked Lu Shifeng.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Half a second later.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It’s only natural.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo had no other opinion: “Okay.”

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Go wash up first.”

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng said slowly: “Bring it in.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Pft…”

 

All the supplement soup was spit out.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

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

 

After a while.

 

The Marshal nodded: “Alright.”

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng: “You seem very happy.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

Chapter 38 – Rival

 

Jian Luo was stunned: “E-educate?”

 

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

 

“…”

 

You don’t have to.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo pointed to himself: “Me?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Zhan Wentai said, “Come with me.”

 

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

 

Zhan Wentai: “Speak.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Beep boop.”

 

The elevator has arrived.

 

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

 

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

 

Zhan Wentai said: “Learn from here.”

 

?

 

A question mark slowly emerged from his head.

 

Jian Luo stammered: “Learn… me?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

? ? ?

 

Well, was this kindness or revenge?

 

He was just a poor, poor cook!

 

Why did he have to learn this!

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo lowered his head guiltily.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

No, you completely misunderstood!

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo: “We can eat in class?”

 

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

 

“I’m hungry, I’m very hungry!”

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo was absent-minded: “En…”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

Knowledge blind spot.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo suddenly looked up.

 

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

 

???

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

I feel you are wasting your effort on nothing.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

I beg you.

 

I’m begging you, give up on me!

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

Okay then.

 

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

 

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

 

“You’ve come back?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Did Wang Heng find out about his pregnancy?

 

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

 

Aiyah, he doesn’t know either!

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo glared at him.

 

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

 

…

 

Try your arse.

 

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

 

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

 

“Beep.”

 

A sound came from his information bracelet.

 

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

 

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

 

Secretary Jin responded cheerfully.

 

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

 

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

 

After half an hour.

 

Jian Luo got into Secretary Jin’s car.

 

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

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

Jian Luo smiled: “That’s good.”

 

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

 

Of course he knew this.

 

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

 

???

 

Secretary Jin was overjoyed: “Really?!”

 

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

 

Secretary Jin was ecstatic: “Thank you Luoluo!”

 

Heheheh.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

Secretary Jin wondered: “Chinese?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“I think so too.”

 

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

 

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

 

“Verification successful, please pass.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

There were two figures standing at the door.

 

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

 

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

 

Secretary Jin’s face sank.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Secretary Jin’s heart skipped a beat.

 

Indeed.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

There was a dead silence in the air.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

?

 

The little princess was shocked!

 

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

 

OK, you’re too cold.

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

She had enough.

 

So the little princess left in a daze.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng made an “En” sound.

 

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

 

Jian Luo simply wandered around by himself.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Aren’t these potato chips?”

“Seems to be.”

“Made by Moonlight, it smells so good.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The woman never expected this: “You…”

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo fell silent for a moment.

 

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

 

“…”

Chapter 37 – Prenatal education

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

It seems that his hint was not working.

 

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

 

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

 

Su Liang froze, looking at Jian Luo in disbelief.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The two looked at each other.

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Half a second later

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

It was as he expected.

 

Mothers sure do know a lot more in detail.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t reply.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Oh yeah.

 

But humans are not facing infertility.

 

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

 

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

 

“Slap!”

 

The mosquito went silent.

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng’s face appeared on the screen

.

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

 

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

 

…

 

Well, I closed it early.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo responded casually: “Okay.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

“Okay!”

 

The next day.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Fragrant.”

 

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

 

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

“Anchor, I miss you!”

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

“You are too much!”

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

“What’s a rice cracker?”

“Is it a firecracker?”

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The people in the barrage felt dissatisfied:

“Waste of rice.”

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

“Don’t talk, just watch.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

“I don’t eat these kinds of things.”

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

“Forget it, I’m not watching.”

 

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

 

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

 

The audience naturally noticed:

“What cake is this?”

“It looks delicious.”

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

“Asking for the link from the anchor!”

 

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

 

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

 

The audiences asked where he bought it:

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

“I’ll buy two boxes.”

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

 

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

 

…

 

There was a moment of silence between the barrages.

 

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

 

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

“Friends, this cake was newly released yesterday!”

“It was still on pre-sale yesterday.”

“The anchor ate it today!”

 

…

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Sizzle…”

 

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

 

The audience in the barrage has already begun to analyze:

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

“Yes, twice!”

“Has anyone saved a screenshot?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

“This damn firecracker looks delicious as it is.”

 

…

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The people in the barrage were almost going crazy:

“It smells good.”

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

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

“Don’t worry, there is a replay.”

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

 

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

 

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

 

The audience said they were not afraid of expensive things.

 

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

 

The audience was shocked:

“Anchor, please wait.”

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

“Anchor, you got my attention.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

“I’ve been spinning in circles, too.”

“It prompted me to a refresh failed page.”

“Why is Jinjiang so laggy?”

 

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

 

Jiang Jiang: “……”

 

I’m screwed.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

At the seed cultivation base.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

!!!

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

Wang Heng really didn’t understand.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

Fertilizing was an easy job.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo was stunned: “I didn’t.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Girl, pay attention to your words.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Kazuki was stunned: “Really?”

 

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

 

Jian Luo simply said, “Really.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It’s you.”

 

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

 

???

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

All right.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

I’m more worried now.

 

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

“Hello, great priest.”

“Greetings, priest, your greatness.”

“Greeting the great priest.”

 

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

 

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

 

Zhan Wentai nodded.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo: “What?”

 

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

Chapter 36 – Be good and follow the marshal

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng sneered: “That little?”

 

…

 

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

 

Crap.

 

Did he rub salt into a wound?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

Those were some threatening words.

 

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

 

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

 

“Why?”

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng gave him a deep look.

 

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

 

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

 

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

He only asked half-jokingly.

 

He didn’t expect an answer.

 

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

 

The cloud fruit in Jian Luo’s hand fell.

 

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

 

Jian Luo sighed, “What a pity.”

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t ask what cotton candy was.

 

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

 

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

 

The server greeted him: “Hello, welcome.”

 

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

 

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

 

He turned around and his eyes fell on a suit.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“I can’t?”

 

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

 

…

 

The atmosphere fell silent.

 

He felt offended.

 

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

 

The corner of Jian Luo’s mouth twitched.

 

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

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

The server nodded her head: “Yes.”

 

“How about green?”

 

“We have it.”

 

“Are there any multi-colored ones?”

 

“No.”

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

Server: “Okay!”

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

How capricious.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

It seemed to make sense.

 

The marshal won’t need to wear casual clothes.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

What a tricky situation

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo was taken aback: “Who?”

 

There was an unknown bitter scent in the air.

 

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

 

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

 

The server quickly handed it over.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

???

 

Jian Luo was shocked.

 

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

 

“…Oh.”

 

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

 

When passing a stall, Jian Luo unconsciously stopped.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng casually said, “En.”

 

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

 

“Bang!”

 

A shot went off but the balloons did not pop.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Bang!”

 

Another crisp gunshot rang out.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Forget it, I’m afraid it won’t work.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo was depressed: “Let’s go.”

 

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

“Did you see that person just now?”

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng skillfully assembled the gun and responded lightly.

 

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

 

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

 

“Bang!”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

You have to die to find out.

 

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

 

…

 

???

 

P-parent and child?

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng turned away without looking at him.

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng smiled and said nothing.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

I thank you.

 

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

 

He had a younger brother and sister at home.

 

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

 

It was difficult for others to understand.

 

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

 

…

 

In the evening.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo was stunned.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

???

 

How good.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

No wonder.

 

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

 

Jian Luo sighed.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“We’ve arrived.”

 

The driver in front spoke.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo nodded his obedient head.

 

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

 

After a long while.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Su Liang sighed, obviously thinking about something else.

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

The room fell into silence.

 

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

 

Su Liang’s eyes were red.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo was silent for a moment.

 

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

 

“…”

 

Really? Even my mother.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Chapter 35 – How to chase after someone

 

Jian Luo’s whole body froze.

 

He turned his head and saw Lu Shifeng standing at the door. The man in the military uniform was leaning against the door, raising his eyelids and looking at him. His dark eyes were very oppressive.

 

Jian Luo’s head was buzzing: “Why are you here?”

 

“What?” Lu Shifeng said slowly, “I can’t be here?”

 

“……you can.”

 

Jian Luo remembered that he hadn’t washed up yet and quickly said, “Then I’ll go wash up first.”

 

The bathroom in the palace was very large, but it is almost brand new, as if no one used it much. Jian Luo quickly washed himself with the toiletries prepared by the servers.

 

When he came out, the servers outside did not leave.

 

Lu Shifeng sat beside his bed and glanced at him: “You’re finished?”

 

Jian Luo looked at this situation and was a little nervous. Looking at Lu Shifeng, he said: “What are you going to do?”

 

“Come here.”

 

“Why?”

 

Lu Shifeng stood up and walked in front of him. The man stretched out his hand and reached down. Jian Luo’s nervous eyes followed them as they tidied up the collar of his shirt for him.

 

Jian Luo felt nervous.

 

Lu Shifeng’s fingers were slender as he straightened his neckline before saying, “How old are you that you can’t even wear your own clothes well?”

 

Jian Luo said innocently, “I wasn’t paying much attention.”

 

“Okay.” Lu Shifeng said without arguing with him, “Let’s go.”

 

Jian Luo walked beside him: “Where are we going?”

 

Lu Shifeng pushed the door open and said, “I’m taking you to dinner.”

 

“But I still have to go to work.”

 

“Eat first.”

 

“……Oh.”

 

When Jian Luo reached the dining table, there were many dishes laid out from one end of the table to the other and it was almost impossible to see the end of it.

 

Jian Luo almost didn’t dare to sit down: “So many dishes.”

 

Lu Shifeng pulled a chair back for him: “The doctor has prepared a nutrition plan for you. Eat some of these, at least.”

 

Jian Luo sat down and looked at the table.

 

There was a lot of meat. Almost all of it was meat. The Dark Stars were good at two things, one is grilling food and the other is boiling food.

 

Occasionally, there were a few strange vegetables in the middle, which were strangely shaped and completely unappetizing.

 

Jian Luo grabbed the nearest piece of meat and started to eat. He was hungry now, so he wasn’t very picky and ate some of them. While he was eating, he found that Lu Shifeng didn’t move his chopsticks at all.

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “Aren’t you going to eat?”

 

“I’m not hungry.” Lu Shifeng had high standards for his food: “You should eat.”

 

“…”

 

Fine.

 

Jian Luo was also not good at forcing others. He ates the food on his own, but because he ate a little too fast, he almost choked.

 

Lu Shifeng frowned: “You eat slowly, no one will steal from you.”

 

“I didn’t expect this meat to have been smoked, so I choked.” Jian Luo took a sip from the cup filled with green nutrient solution next to him: “But it’s quite delicious.”

 

Lu Shifeng said in a low voice, “You can eat it whenever you want, as long as you’re not tired of it.”

 

“I won’t get the chance to get tired of this.” Jian Luo held the glass in his hand: “When this cub comes out, I won’t have the chance to eat these.”

 

There were many meanings behind this remark.

 

Lu Shifeng tapped his fingertips on the table, pretending to be casual, “You can also order it if you want.”

 

Jian Luo shook his head: “No, it must be expensive. I won’t be able to afford it at home, even if it’s only for a few times.”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at Jian Luo, the young man who was eating at the table and holding a cup of nutrient solution, drinking the liquid leisurely.

 

He looked like someone who enjoyed the glory, wealth, and honor of it all, but in his bones, he had never even thought of staying in the aristocracy. Jian Luo still yearned for his own freedom, as if it were only a task to bring the child out. Once the task was completed, he would also withdraw and leave immediately.

 

“I’m stuffed.”

 

Jian Luo put down the glass.

 

Lu Shifeng recovered from his thoughts and stood up: “Let’s go then.”

 

“En.” Jian Luo followed him and walked outside: “I’m going to the seed cultivating base.”

 

Lu Shifeng walked steadily and asked, “Do you have to go?”

 

Jian Luo felt a little strange: “Isn’t it my job?”

 

“Why do you want to cultivate seeds?” Lu Shifeng’s voice was steady, as he glanced at him sideways: “If it’s for an official ID, I can handle it.”

 

Jian Luo walked slowly: “It’s not wholly because of that. I’ve wanted to grow peppers myself for a long time.”

 

Lu Shifeng frowned.

 

“Did the doc say I can’t overwork?” Jian Luo covered his stomach. He guessed as much: “Then when the seeds germinate and bear fruit, I’ll stop working for a while.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s furrowed brows loosened a little.

 

Who knew that Jian Luo would raise his brows and say: “I can live stream at home so it will not be tiring.”

 

He was thinking that he must find something to do, otherwise he will suffocate in the room every day. While waiting for the cubs to come out, he will still have to work hard in his career!

 

“…”

 

The Marshal did not dampen his enthusiasm.

 

The cloud car was already waiting. The car was fast and steady. They were closer compared to the route he normally took from Peace Paradise, so they would be arriving soon.

 

Jian Luo waved at him: “Well, I’ll go first.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Wait.”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment. He thought she could run away, but didn’t expect for someone to tell him to wait, so he said, “What’s the matter..?”

 

Lu Shifeng said in a deep voice, “I will pick you up in the afternoon.”

 

Jian Luo thought that it would be fine to take a taxi by himself, but when he was about to say that, he saw the eyes of the Marshal again: “Okay.”

 

This is the predetermined way.

 

When Jian Luo walked all the way to the shed, he felt weird along the way. How should he say it? He always felt like someone was staring at him. When he walked into the shed, she happened to see Wang Heng.

 

When Jian Luo walked in, he busied himself with looking at how the pepper seedlings were doing while Wang Heng was next to him was still looking down at the information terminal. Usually, at this time in the past, Wang Heng would always be sarcastic when he saw him.

 

“Beep, the temperature has been set.”

 

The temperature-adjusting machine sounded and became quiet again.

 

Jian Luo started to scan the status of the seeds with the detection instrument. The instrument scanned the soil before turning green: [Everything is normal.]

 

This is very good. Jian Luo estimated that if nothing else happened, the seedlings would sprout  within two days.

 

Wang Heng glanced at him: “They’re not dead yet?”

 

Jian Luo was too lazy to pay attention to him: “Those seedlings of yours are dying.”

 

“……you!”

 

Wang Heng was also very angry, but he couldn’t refute anything, because his seedlings were indeed dying.

 

Jian Luo came over and said, “Do you want me to help you?”

 

Wang Heng didn’t believe him one bit, but the situation in front of him was a reality he had to face. In the past few days, Jian Luo’s seedlings were getting better and better. They even had the tendency to germinate and burst from the soil, while his plants were almost untraceable.

 

Jian Luo came over and leaned down: “The temperature of the big vegetables should not be too high, around 25°C is best.”

 

Wang Heng was suddenly curious: “How did you know this?”

 

“Do you still need to know this?” Jian Luo said confidently: “This was originally a plant from our planet. The people of our planet must know how to grow them.”

 

“…”

 

Why didn’t the previous humans know about this?

 

Wang Heng wanted to complain a little in his heart, but after considering that Jian Luo had helped him just now because he was not good, he changed the subject instead: “Have you seen the hot search on ligthweb?”

 

Jian Luo was taken aback: “What’s the hot search?”

 

“The hot search states that we may have a cub.” Wang Heng’s face showed a proud expression: “The officials have basically confirmed it.”

 

Jian Luo was in a complicated mood: “This matter is so popular.”

 

Wang Heng sneered: “You don’t know anything at all.”

 

“…”

 

No, I really don’t understand.

 

“This child proves that we are not a planet destined for extinction.” Wang Heng rarely showed his emotion and he sighed: “This child is our hope. You don’t understand. It is the hope of the entire planet.”

 

Jian Luo sat down next to him and was really curious: “Then what if you can’t get new life other than this child?”

 

Wang Heng’s expression changed: “What nonsense!”

 

Jian Luo shrugged helplessly.

 

However, his words seemed to give Wang Heng some inspiration. He said: “Since he could conceive a child, this hero who has conceived a child will also become the hope of saving the entire planet. How he conceived a child can also be taught to us. For us, my wife was so excited yesterday that she didn’t sleep well. She always wanted a child and now with this hero, he’s found a way to save us all.”

 

“…”

 

No, he did not.

 

Jian Luo sat on the rocking chair to rest. Suddenly, he also began to fall into contemplation.

 

Thinking of traditional chinese medicine, his body was different from that of other Dark Stars, so is it possible that his soul did not transmigrate, but it was his entire body that was sent here?

 

So was it possible that he got pregnant because of his own body? Because he ate rice and drank boiled water like normal people in his era, he was able to become pregnant.

 

In the same way, if this logic is followed, if the Dark Stars also start to improve their diets, will they be saved?

 

Wang Heng’s voice came from beside him: “What are you thinking about?”

 

Jian Luo came back to his senses: “it’s nothing, I’m just thinking about something else.”

 

Wang Heng decided to ignore him.

 

Jian Luo’s ideas became more solid the more he thought about it, as he stood next to him. But not all the Dark Stars are drinking nutrient solution. The rich nobles also eat vegetables and meat, but these nobles obviously also had no children too so could it be possible that they must consume the vegetables and rice that come from Earth!?

 

According to this principle, the planting base on Peace Paradise is simply the Garden of Eden for treating the infertility of the Dark Stars!

 

Wang Heng was still beside him, thinking: “It would be nice if I could do something for the cub. I don’t know what their situation is now.”

 

“It’s alright!” Jian Luo said excitedly: “Don’t worry. You are contributing to the world if you grow more vegetables!”

 

???

 

You must be mentally ill.

 

Jian Luo spent most of the morning exploring the remaining cultivable seeds. According to records, there were at least 2,000 vegetable varieties in the freezer.

 

These varieties even contain onions, ginger and garlic, as well as various vegetables and fruits like watermelon.

 

It’s a place of happiness!

 

Wang Heng reminded him not far away: “It’s time to eat.”

 

Jian Luo responded casually: “Okay.”

 

He wasn’t too hungry as he ate too much in the morning, so he just wanted to continue experimenting for a while when a figure appeared at the entrance of the greenhouse.

 

“Luoluo.”

 

A familiar female voice called out.

 

Jian Luo raised his head slightly in surprise, and saw Kazuki standing at the door, smiling: “I’m here to pick you up for a trip back to Moonlight. The boss seems to be looking for you for something.”

 

Jian Luo turned off the information screen: “What’s the matter with the boss?”

 

Kazuki shrugged, “I don’t know.”

 

“……Ok.”

 

After all, it’s just the boss. He was able to get a place here all because of Nie Yan, so it’s better to show him some courtesy, otherwise he won’t be able to continue working.

 

While sitting in the car, Kazuki always looked at him from time to time. Jian Luo couldn’t take it anymore: “Is there anything on my face?”

 

Kazuki shook her head quickly: “It’s nothing. I just haven’t seen you for a few days, so I wanted to look at you more!”

 

“…”

 

On the other hand,

 

The person Zhan Wentai sent over to pick Jian Luo up for dinner was in vain. Where was the person in the shed?

 

The attendant asked a person not far away: “Where is he?”

 

The guard of the phoenix clan, who had been secretly protecting him, said, “Boss Nie sent someone to pick him up.”

 

The attendant was disappointed that he didn’t even do anything: “Couldn’t you have stopped him?”

 

“The order we received was to ensure his safety.” The Phoenix clan’s guard said, “I didn’t want to stop him as he left voluntarily.”

 

“…”

 

The attendant gritted his teeth, not knowing what to do.

 

As the two were chatting, Secretary Jin also walked over slowly. She looked at the person before smiling: “Hello you two, I’m here to pick Luoluo up.”

 

The attendant turned around: “Who are you?”

 

Secretary Jin stood up straight and introduced herself: “I’m the secretary of the marshal. You can call me Secretary Jin.”

 

The attendant was curious: “Then why are you here today?”

 

“I’m going to pick Luoluo up for dinner.” Secretary Jin had a decent smile on her face: “Please call him for me.”

 

Oh, it turned out that they were looking for the same person.

 

The attendant suddenly felt less uncomfortable. He said, “I’m sorry, he has already picked up Moonlight.”

 

Secretary Jin was taken aback: “Where?”

 

The attendant repeated it again: “Moonlight.”

 

“…”

 

At Moonlight.

 

The entirety of Moonlight was the most prosperous place on the Dark Star.

 

When Jian Luo went in, he was still thinking about what Nie Yan wanted him to do, but he was directly taken to the hall where Nie Yan sat. There was a table with various delicacies on it.

 

Jian Luo stood at the table: “Boss?”

 

“You’ve arrived?” Nie Yan stood up and pulled a chair for Jian Luo thoughtfully: “Sit down.”

 

I get afraid when you are like this.

 

Jian Luo sat down nervously: “Is there a reason you’re looking for me?”

 

Nie Yan snorted and sat down, “I’ve heard everything about you. Because I was worried about your health, I’ll decided to pick you up for lunch at noon.”

 

Jian Luo choked: “You didn’t have to.”

 

“You don’t have to be polite with me.” Nie Yan looked very generous: “You are my employee and you should be taken care of.”

 

Jian Luo blushed.

 

All the dishes on the table were very delicate. There were even some dishes that Jian Luo had never seen before. He heard Nie Yan next to him say: “These dishes are all made by the top chefs, especially that one, the golden pig is a delicacy that even the daughters of planet f90 can’t get, and this one…”

 

Jian Luo just kept listening to Nie Yan introduce how expensive and valuable these dishes are.

 

Finally, Nie Yan stopped: “Do you understand?”

 

Jian Luo almost fell asleep, but he replied confusedly: “I understand.”

 

“…”

 

Nie Yan sat on the chair, turned the gold ring on his finger, before saying meaningfully: “If money can buy something, there is nothing I can’t get.”

 

Jian Luo dealt with it perfunctorily: “It is admiration for you to be rich enough to rival the entire planet.”

 

Nie Yan’s face was full of shrewdness and a smile formed at the corner of his mouth: “I know you are a smart person, so you must know the weight of this.”

 

Jian Luo: “I understand. Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard for you.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo, I am upset at what a blockhead you are.

 

As the richest man ate the meal, it was full of mixed flavors. The most disturbing thing to him was that Jian Luo did not give a high evaluation after eating, but instead looked a little sad.

 

Nie Yan: “What’s wrong?”

 

“It’s nothing.” Jian Luo shook his head: “I was thinking, are these what you want to eat?”

 

The richest man raised the corner of his mouth confidently: “It’s just a few meals not worth mentioning. I’ll have someone pick you up tomorrow as well.”

 

Jian Luo sighed leisurely: “Thank you for your kindness, but you don’t have to.”

 

Nie Yan frowned, “Then what are you going to do?”

 

With this much delicious food, Jian Luo was still not satisfied. What else does he want to eat? Nie Yan didn’t believe that he couldn’t buy it.

 

Jian Luo said: “I can cook by myself.”

 

Nie Yan was taken aback.

 

“These things are delicious.” Jian Luo sighed: “But I still want to eat a proper meal or something.”

 

Nie Yan: ???

 

Was there not a single good meal you had out of the table that I’ve bought with a lot of my capital?

 

After leaving Moonlight, Jian Luo returned to the seed planting base in the afternoon to see his little pepper seedlings. Honestly speaking, after having meat in the morning and also in the afternoon, he was tired of eating meat. Not just tired, but sick of it. Tonight, he didn’t want to eat another meal with meat again.

 

Ever since he had the cubs, he didn’t know if it was because he was cultivating peppers or something, but he had a craving for spicy food, which he couldn’t have.

 

He still wanted to eat sour food or something that tastes like that.

 

But Dark Star doesn’t have it at all. It was all either barbecued or boiled here.

 

“Ding dong.”

 

There was a sound from his information terminal.

 

Jian Luo came back to his senses and opened his message to see a message from Lu Shifeng: “Come out after you get off work.”

 

Oh, it’s time to go.

 

Jian Luo packed up. Before leaving, he took a special look at his poor little peppers and wished from the bottom of his heart, praying secretly for his chili peppers to grow up quickly and save his poor palate.

 

The cloud car outside has been waiting for a long time.

 

Jian Luo got into the car: “You’re going to take me home?”

 

“I’m taking you to buy something.” Lu Shifeng looked at the clothes that Jian Luo was wearing and said: “On the way, we’ll get you some items.”

 

Jian Luo felt very strange: “But I already have them.”

 

He also had principles, didn’t he? He’s not like a dog, following him wherever he goes. He has to be firm and strong like a man!

 

Lu Shifeng sat lazily on the sofa in the car seat and said slowly, “You don’t have to repay the money.”

 

“……Ok.”

 

The car stopped at the largest department store in the entire Dark Star. It was also Jian Luo’s first time here. He had to sigh: “You actually go shopping?”

 

After all, shouldn’t the marshal be the cool and arrogant kind of tyrant, letting everything of insignificance be handled ‌by his secretary or just buy everything in the room in one go, instead of slowly choosing whatever you want? Why did you want to go shopping in person?! 

 

Lu Shifeng lowered his eyes and remembered the words of the little emperor:

 

The little emperor: “Since they are your cubs, you have to take good care of them. Not just materialistically, but also spiritually. Luoluo is not very old and only 20 years old. In your dragon clan, he is very young and still weaning like a baby, so you have to care more about him.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “If you asked him to speak, he would be satisfied with anything.”

 

The big dragon should take care of the little dragon like this. No matter what the little dragon wants to eat or what prey it wants, the big dragon must satisfy him. This was what taking care of someone meant.

 

The little emperor was silent: “I don’t think so.”

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows.

 

“Uncle, maybe you are quite good at fighting, but you are really not good at pursuing and taking care of people. I think, why don’t you go back and ask Secretary Jin?”

 

Huh?

 

Marshal Lu scoffed at the little emperor’s proposal.

 

When he went back, Lu Shifeng stared at Secretary Jin. He almost scared his secretary away: “Um, Marshal, did I do something wrong?”

 

Lu Shifeng’s handsome face tensed up. It was what the man did every time he encountered a massive problem, but the more he is like this, the more Secretary Jin feels that something was wrong.

 

“Um…Marshal.” Secretary Jin was very nervous: “Is there anything I haven’t done well recently?”

 

Lu Shifeng said indifferently, “No.”

 

Secretary Jin breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, “Then do you need me to do anything?”

 

Lu Shifeng was silent.

 

Secretary Jin felt that she had the right idea!

 

She quickly raced to the finish line: “Don’t worry. If there is anything I can do for you, I will do my best!”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, as if he was gauging her authenticity. Finally, the man said, “Do you know how to make the kid happy?”

 

“…”

 

The kids aren’t even out yet!

 

Marshal, wake up!

 

Secretary Jin said hesitantly, “Probably like usual dragon cubs…”

 

“Not them.” Lu Shifeng interrupted ruthlessly, “Jian Luo.”

 

Secretary Jin choked up. As an all-around secretary, she couldn’t admit defeat and she definitely couldn’t be ignorant. She thought for a while: “I think he should enjoy shopping in the mall!”

 

And so, the biased Marshal Lu brought Jian Luo to the mall.

 

As soon as Jian Luo came in, it was as if a country boy had entered the city: “What is that? How can it still fly? God, is the signboard of that shop made of clay?”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Don’t run around.”

 

Jian Luo responded, feeling that his two eyes were not enough: “It’s too amazing.”

 

When two people walked in front of each other, Jian Luo always almost got separated from him while watching all kinds of interesting things. After this happened several times, Lu Shifeng said, “Hand.”

 

Jian Luo: “En.”

 

Lu Shifeng took a step forward and held his hand with his fingers intertwined. The man’s palm was rough while Jian Luo’s was tender. The two hands were held together in unusual harmony.

 

Jian Luo stood beside him, like a petite daughter-in-law. This kind of mood that seems to resemble a couple shopping together was a bit awkward, even for Jian Luo, so he coughed lightly: “Cough, it’s alright. I can walk on my own.”

 

“What’s the matter?” Lu Shifeng gave him a slow, dark look. He raised his eyebrows with a hint of confusion in his eyes. After a while, he leaned down and said in a low voice, “Does holding my hand aggrieve you?”

 

His handsome face widened before his eyes.

 

Jian Luo’s goddamn face-con attributes began flaring up again. He stuttered and said, “No grievances here.”

 

“Hello. Here’s your cloud fruit.”

 

The voice of the staff making the food chimed in.

 

Jian Luo hurriedly pulled back his hand to hold the cloud fruit. He took a bite of the soft cloud fruit and the embarrassment from holding hands dissipated a lot as he sighed.

 

Lu Shifeng: “What are you thinking about?”

 

“I was thinking about the time when I was young.” Jian Luo sighed: “At that time, I only talked to the other casually while holding their small hand. I thought that it might be the beginning of a romance, but unfortunately, after so many years have passed, it turns out that would only be the highest point of that saga.”

 

In his opinion, it should be normal to talk about a few innocent past loves while he was still a young student.

 

Unexpectedly, Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes dangerously: “How many people are you talking about?”

 

Jian Luo still had his head buried in the cloud fruit, missing the dangerous aura: “Not much. I can’t remember. Let me do the math for a second.”

Chapter 34 – Who will the children go with?

 

Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes: “What did you say?”

 

The strong murderous aura and threat could be sensed by even a fool. Jian Luo was a little terrified as he nestled in the chair and almost hugged himself pitifully: “The doctor just said that there is a problem. In case it is a deformity or something, shouldn’t it be aborted?”

 

The doctor: ???

 

I’m begging you, I didn’t say it, don’t hurt me.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at the poor and helpless doctor next to him again: “Is his problem serious?”

 

“Cough. From the current point of view, although the dragon cubs have no shell, all the tests indicate that they are normal and very healthy. Compared to the normal size of two-month cubs, the dragon cubs are a little too small.”

 

Simply put, it was due to malnutrition.

 

The Dark Stars have been looking forward to the cub for thousands of years. The holy dragon fruit tree couldn’t wait to blossom all over the mountains and fields and everyone couldn’t wait to hold the cub in their hearts.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo was very innocent: “Can you blame me? You won’t sell the holy dragon fruit, so I wasn’t able to buy it.”

 

After he said that, he was even a little aggrieved. He lowered his head and didn’t want to look at Lu Shifeng, like a very angry little daughter-in-law.

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng said in a deep voice, “So you already knew?”

 

Here it comes again, the relentless questions poking at his soul.

 

Jian Luo was afraid for a moment, and said vaguely: “Not that early on.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him again with a cold look and Jian Luo was too cowardly to speak.

 

The doctor wanted to make the atmosphere a little better, so he said to Lu Shifeng, “Marshal, please. I’m afraid I will have to discuss the rest of the details with you privately.”

 

Lu Shifeng went out with an “en”.

 

It was late at night. Apart from the rain outside, the hospital was very quiet. Lu Shifeng was standing by the window in the corridor, very tall.

 

The doctor considered: “Marshal, since there has never been a case of a human being pregnant with a beast cub, we can only wait and see. At present, we think the best plan is to ensure that the cubs are healthy. Let’s see if we need to take the cubs out and transfer them into the breeding lab alone to cultivate them, so as to ensure that the cubs are getting enough nutrition. After all, you can see that the human body is lacking in nutrients.”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at the rain falling outside. His handsome face was stern, but he didn’t speak.

 

“Besides.” The doctor frowned and finally said, “According to the current situation, if our first cub came from a human, it wouldn’t sound very good if we spread it out. What do you think?”

 

There was a moment of silence in the hallway.

 

Half a second later.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “The dragon clan has had no new life for three hundred years.”

 

The doctor was stunned.

 

“With your so-called breeding laboratory with test tubes and so-called high-tech. Why has no one from the dragon clan given birth to a little dragon yet?” Lu Shifeng looked at her condescendingly: “Why should I trust you?”

 

The doctor looked ugly and hesitated: “But even if you don’t believe us…”

 

Lu Shifeng interrupted her: “If he is malnourished, I’ll try to supplement him with nutrition. If he’s healthy, why should I use you?”

 

The pressure from her superior was absolute. Lu Shifeng’s aura suddenly turned cold, making the doctor swallow all the words that came from her mouth.

 

…

 

When Lu Shifeng went back, Jian Luo had been cooperating with the doctor to do various examinations.

 

The person on the chair looked very thin. Probably because he had always been very energetic in the past. After a while, when he calmed down, he only realized that this human being was really weak. With a delicate and fair face, as well as slender limbs. When a needle was stabbed into his wrist, red blood flowed out, but the entire person was quiet and silent.

 

Lu Shifeng stopped at the door.

 

The doctor in the room drew some blood and pulled out the needle: “Okay, please take a rest before you go back.”

 

Jian Luo: “Thank you.”

 

At the door, Lu Shifeng stepped forward and stood in front of him. There was a sharp contrast between the tall and mighty man and the fragile little human.

 

Marshal Lu bent down and helped him put on his coat: “Let’s go.”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

When walking outside, Jian Luo was still rubbing his wrists and gasping for breath from time to time, showing his dissatisfaction with the blood draw earlier.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him: “Does it hurt?”

 

“Nonsense, of course.” Jian Luo muttered, “Why are the needles so big while my blood vessels are so thin, what did they want to stab?”

 

The corners of Lu Shifeng’s mouth curled up but the man remained cool: “The size and body structure of Dark Stars are different from those of humans, so the size of the needles will be different. If you hate it, let them change it next time.”

 

Jian Luo wanted to quit: “There’ll be a next time?”

 

Lu Shifeng watched him go down the stairs: “I know it hurts. Next time, it’ll be better. If you’re healthy, you won’t need to do it.”

 

“…”

 

Was that my business?

 

Maybe it was because Lu Shifeng was coaxing him, so he became more daring: “You said it’ll be better because you’ll be fine when they’re done. I’m the one who has to suffer.”

 

It’s not that he’s looking for trouble. It’s really too miserable. When he’s pregnant, he didn’t even have the right to choose if he could keep them or not. And even if nothing was wrong, he still had to get his blood drawn in the middle of the night. Was this humane?

 

While talking, the two walked to the bottom of the stairs together.

 

The car was waiting, and a group of soldiers from the Dark Star dragon clan were waiting in the hallway. Their qualifications were no less than for escorting the emperor.

 

Marshal Lu faced him as he stopped his usual rambling. He was even a little solemn: “As long as you treat them well, it doesn’t matter if you’ll be able to keep them in the future…”

 

The aforementioned man paused for a bit.

 

After a long while, Lu Shifeng continued slowly: “I will still take responsibility for you.”

 

Of all the people present, only Jian Luo didn’t understand how much wealth, power, fame and fortune was hidden behind the sentence.

 

Jian Luo just pursed his lips hopelessly: “Forget about taking responsibility. Just… just give me a suite.”

 

In the back, Secretary Jin heard this and her jaw dropped.

 

She never expected Luoluo to be so simple and unpretentious with no desire for money!

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth curled into a faint smile. He stretched out his slender arm and pinched Jian Luo’s face: “Come on, you can choose any house in the world.”

 

“…”

 

If you say something like that, I won’t hurt even if I get the needle.

 

Jian Luo’s mood improved a lot. Wasn’t there a saying that if you couldn’t refuse, then you should just enjoy it? Wasn’t it the rational thing to do?

 

Since he couldn’t refuse, he should at least get some benefits for himself. He didn’t want to be a some saint. After suffering so much, he wasn’t about to go back home empty-handed. That would be so stupid.

 

It was still raining outside.

 

Lu Shifeng opened the car door for him: “Get in the car.”

 

Jian Luo bowed in response and got into the car obediently. It was late at night. After sitting down, he said, “Are you going to take me back?”

 

Lu Shifeng asked him to fasten his seat belt and replied, “Mm.”

 

“Oh.” Jian Luo nodded and said: “Next time, don’t bring so many people. The people in my family are gossipy.”

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: “Who told you we will send you back to Peace Paradise?”

“…?”

 

Jian Luo felt very strange: “Otherwise, where would I go?”

 

Lu Shifeng was righteous: “To my place. Or where do you want to go?”

 

“Ah?” Jian Luo didn’t accept it for a while: “Are you going today?”

 

“It’s impossible for your relatives to experience that a second time.” Lu Shifeng’s face sank a little: “Not to mention that Peace Paradise is not very safe.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “If you are worried about your mother, I will ask someone to deal with her.”

 

Jian Luo thought about it, but couldn’t think of a better solution. According to the current situation, if something went wrong with the dragon cub in his stomach, it was not only his fault. His mother and younger brother may all suffer and be implicated too.

 

Peace Paradise was indeed not a very peaceful place. He wanted to move out from there for a long time but didn’t he have to be registered to have a permanent residence?

 

Jian Luo said heavily: “Okay then.”

 

Lu Shifeng gave a “en” and seemed to be very satisfied with his sensibleness.

 

There was a moment of silence in the car as Lu Shifeng concentrated on his official business as Jian Luo, who was next to him, contacted Su Liang himself to explain that he would not be going back tonight before dealing with the live broadcast site. After that, he took a look at the time. It was 12:00 in the morning

 

Jian Luo cautiously glanced at Lu Shifeng next to him. The man lowered his head slightly and was concentrating on his official business. The information light screen was suspended in the air and there were rows of words on it which he couldn’t understand at all.

 

The inside of the car was silent and the cloud car was completely silent as it was driving.

 

When they arrived at the destination, Lu Shifeng turned his face away and what he saw was Jian Luo’s fully asleep face. The whole person seemed to be curled up like a small shrimp with his head lowered and the long lashes fluttering on his shut eyelids. His brows furrowed slightly, as if he was seeing something unpleasant in a dream.

 

The driver turned his head: “Marshal…”

 

Lu Shifeng made a silent gesture to him, and the uncle driver quickly shut up.

 

They arrived at the military, the most secure place in the entire empire. Lu Shifeng carried him and walked towards the entrance. The person in his arms was sleeping soundly. But he was more likely tired after running around the entire day. To a certain extent, he wasn’t too prepared for all of this to happen.

 

Along the way, many soldiers wanted to salute him, but they all stopped after seeing him.

 

“Beep, successful.”

 

The bedroom door verified his retina, made a mechanical sound, and slowly opened. Lu Shifeng walked in with Jian Luo in his arms, and put him on the sofa.

 

Jian Luo woke up a little when he heard the mechanical door speaking.

 

“Hmm…” He opened his sleepy eyes: “Are we there yet?”

 

It was a bright and spacious office. Everything seemed right, but there was a big problem.

 

Jian Luo was dumbfounded: “Where’s the bed?”

 

Lu Shifeng sat down beside him, frowning: “Do you still need a bed?”

 

“…”

 

Dog man.

 

Jian Luo simply didn’t know how to describe the complexity in his heart. He nodded heavily: “I want to sleep on a bed. Isn’t it difficult for you if you don’t sleep?”

 

Lu Shifeng was silent: “I’ll have someone prepare one for you.”

 

Jian Luo choked: “It’s alright. Don’t worry about it since it’s late. I’ll sleep on the sofa first.”

 

However, the sofa was quite hard. What’s up with the Dark Stars, they don’t know how to enjoy life at all. The sofa should be soft. If it was this hard, they should just sleep on the floor.

 

Lu Shifeng stood up: “Let’s go.”

 

?

 

Jian Luo was very puzzled: “Where are we going?”

 

“Taking you somewhere with a bed.”

 

Jian Luo was thinking that it’s okay to have no bed and he could make do without. Who would have thought that Lu Shifeng would already start walking so fast that he couldn’t keep up.

 

Getting on the cloud car, he began to fall asleep again.

 

The car quickly arrived, and the palace servants who was guarding outside said, “You are here, His Majesty is already waiting.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Is everything ready?”

 

The palace man whispered: “Everything is ready.”

 

On the seat, Jian Luo had fallen asleep again. This time, he slept deeper than the last. He was moved around since one or two in the morning, who could stand it? Lu Shifeng carried him out effortlessly. The waiting palace servants already knew the news long before, and looked at Jian Luo eagerly.

 

The tall and handsome man was holding a petite human being in his arms, and judging from his body strucutre, he was an adult male.

 

Lu Shifeng said in a deep voice, “Lead the way.”

 

The palace servant responded and led the way in front. Although he withdrew his gaze, his mind was still on the eye-catching man in Lu Shifeng’s embrace. Was that petite human being pregnant with a dragon cub? Could he be looking at the vulnerable life who held their entire’s planet’s hope?

 

“Beep.”

 

The door’s detector has verified that they may pass.

 

Lu Shifeng brought Jian Luo into the room prepared inside the palace. The big red curtains covered the windows and the room had a big bed. Although the blood clan usually liked to sleep in coffins, they didn’t like to be lacking, so even if they didn’t sleep in a bed, their bedrooms will also be equipped with a large and soft bed.

 

When Jian Luo was put down, he woke up in a daze and said to Lu Shifeng, “We’ve arrived?”

 

“En.” Lu Shifeng told him to lie down: “Go to sleep.”

 

Jian Luo, who was already sleeping like a log, didn’t want to be too concerned about his whereabouts, he just wanted to continue sleeping.

 

Lu Shifeng frowned and tugged: “Come out, don’t stifle your breathing.”

 

Jian Luo shrank into a ball covering his face, ignoring the marshal’s command and even felt a little annoyed.

 

The palace servant felt a little helpless beside him.

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t give up, he reached in and tried to pull Jian Luo out, but Jian Luo, who was very sleepy and had a lot of energy not to get up, shifted and took a bite.

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

The marshal’s arms were still stretched out, and there was a distinct tooth mark on it still stained with saliva. The palace servant next to him was amused.

 

Who would have thought that Lu Shifeng, who was so majestic on the battlefield and frightening to the enemy, could be easily chomped on by such a fragile human being?

 

Lu Shifeng gave him a cold look, with a dangerous smile on the corner of his mouth: “Is it funny?”

 

“…”

 

The palace servant immediately became serious and took out a clean handkerchief to let him wipe himself off: “It’s not funny.”

 

Lu Shifeng took it.

 

After the saliva was wiped off, it was thrown back to the palace servant, and Lu Shifeng’s cold expression returned. He said, “I’m going to see the Majesty, over here…”

 

“Please rest assured. After knowing that you will be coming here, most of the people in the entire palace were arranged nearby to protect the Lord’s safety. His Majesty even sent a personal guard.” The palace servant said quickly: “There will be people here and we will protect him to the best of our abilities.”

 

Lu Shifeng just nodded and went out.

 

Early in the morning, the palace was brightly lit. In other words, tonight, in addition to Jian Luo himself, all the Dark Stars who heard the news about the cubs were sleepless all night.

 

In the conference hall, everyone was already seated.

 

Nie Yan fiddled with his golden ring. When he saw Lu Shifeng coming in, he said, “Has Marshal Lu found the person?”

 

Lu Shifeng pulled out a chair and sat down.

 

Opposite him, there was the high priest Zhan Wentai, who always looked cold and holy when praying and offering sacrifices to God.

 

The little emperor sat at the front: “I have just received news from uncle, the one with the cub is Luoluo. I think everyone here should know it by now.”

 

Nie Yan raised his eyebrows: “He’s my employee.”

 

“He’s an employee of the breeding base.”

 

Zhan Wentai had to speak to remind him.

 

Lu Shifeng sneered: “The dragon cub he is carrying is mine.”

 

The most difficult thing for the little emperor to do was to have a meeting with these three giants. Every time these gods fight, he, from the blood clan, suffers.

 

“Everyone, listen to me.” The little emperor coughed lightly to attract their attention: “Luoluo’s cub, whether it’s a dragon cub or someone else’s cub, is a cub that we should all protect together. The hospital just reported to me that the cubs are in very bad condition and they analyzed that it is very likely that the cub will be birthed directly.”

 

Everyone was stunned.

 

The little emperor pondered: “According to their research on Earthlings, it seems that it takes 10 months to conceive, which is about a year, and that is for a human child. For a small dragon, the incubation period is longer, so it is still conditional. In this case, if it is inside a human, it could take even longer, and they estimate it could be around 16 months or so.”

 

Everyone was silent.

 

Half a second later.

 

Nie Yanxing was relatively straightforward, he was a businessman, and he liked to talk about bargaining chips: “I’ll just say it straight, I think the cubs are better off with me.”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids and looked at him.

 

“It’s useless to just look at me.” Nie Yan, who was a rich noble, showed a confident smile: “You go out to fight from time to time all the year round. Can you accompany the cubs? Plus, why did you have to bring him here today? The condition of the place you live in is only suitable for your dragon clan to live in.”

 

Lu Shifeng sneered: “The cub is also a dragon.”

 

“You are a half-beast, but Jian Luo is not.” Nie Yan said slowly: “The inspection results showed that the three cubs he was carrying had no eggshells, indicating that he was malnourished. Marshal Lu had no experience and no time to take good care of him”

 

Zhan Wentai rarely reacted, he said: “He is cultivating seedlings on my site.”

 

“He’s still an employee of Moonlight.” Nie Yan’s mouth twitched into a smile: “I am also obliged to take good care of my employees.”

 

Little Emperor: “…”

 

Keeping it simple, while scheming, huh?.

 

Lu Shifeng sneered: “Now that he is pergnant, does he still have a use at your establishment?”

 

“Let’s let Jian Luo choose for himself.” Nie Yan continued to look at his gold ring, wondering what he was thinking about: “Not to mention, he and you are not partners.”

 

Nie Yan’s intention was clear.

 

Jian Luo and Lu Shifeng didn’t have a marriage certificate. Some time ago, it happened to be the estrus period of the dragon clan, so one could guess how the child came to be.

 

That is to say, after the dragon cub is born, Jian Luo could completely cut off his relations with Lu Shifeng.

 

Then, since this was the case, naturally, they had the right to pursue Jian Luo, and whether he wanted a little Pixiu or a little Phoenix, everyone was allowed to compete fairly and at the end of the day, it was up to him.

 

Lu Shifeng sat lazily on the chair, pretending that he didn’t understand what Nie Yan meant. The man said slowly, “Even if we are not partners now, that may not necessarily be the case in the future.”

 

“…”

 

The atmosphere was tense.

 

The little emperor coughed lightly, intending to extinguish the scent of the demon’s field: “This cub is very precious to the entirety of Dark Star and each of us is obliged to take good care of it.”

 

Zhan Wentai still had a cold expression on his face: “The fact that he has a special constitution cannot be kept secret from other people for long. He is a human being, and it is hard to prevent other people from blindly seeking out human males to give birth because of this.”

 

This point was really important.

 

Some people have been childless for too long, so when the good news has suddenly come out, anything could happen.

 

Everyone looked at each other.

 

The little emperor thought about it for a while: “Don’t worry about it. The doctor took Luoluo’s blood and the test showed that he was different from the men in Peace Paradise in all aspects. Being able to conceive should be related to the environment and diet. ‌It is a breakthrough.”

 

Lu Shifeng directly concluded: “There is no need to worry. According to official statistics in recent years, there have been cases of marriage between Dark Stars and human men, but the succession rate is still 0%. They should know it in their hearts as well.”

 

“Yes.” The little emperor was very rational about this: “After a while, we will find an opportunity to present it to the people that have a cub, which should be uplifting news to everyone.”

 

Everyone has reached a consensus on one point.

 

A meeting was held until dawn and it didn’t end until Jian Luo woke up. In the past, Jian Luo, who had to go to work at 8 o’clock, suddenly woke up.

 

The sky was bright outside, and the sun was about to shine on his arse too.

 

Jian Luo suddenly sat up and saw a coffin placed opposite him. His eyes widened, and before he could breath, he swore: “F-ck!”

 

The servants who had been waiting outside for a long time were shocked.

 

“Knock knock knock.”

 

There was a knock on the door.

 

Jian Luo looked at the door: “Who is it?”

 

“Hello Lord, we are taking care of you.” The attendant’s voice was warm: “Are you awake, we will be serving you for your bath.”

 

“…”

 

‌Where was he?

 

Jian Luo’s memory ended the moment he fell asleep in the car, so he was completely unclear about the current situation.

 

He got out of bed carefully: “Come in.”

 

As soon as he said it, the others rushed in. Because Jian Luo was alone, he was rushed in from both sides as they stood in a line. There were too many of them to count. 

 

The first woman in a maid outfit bowed: “Please let me change your clothes.”

 

After she said that, she came over. Jian Luo hurriedly ducked before she was about to touch him: “I don’t need it. I’m able to dress myself, I’m pregnant but not dead.”

 

“…”

 

The eyes of the others looking at Jian Luo were very complicated.

 

On the one hand, she thought it was great that he had a cub, but on the other hand, the elegant vampire felt that his manners were too bad. What about good prenatal education? Won’t the cub grow up crooked?

 

To Jian Luo, the most important thing was: “Where is the Marshal? I’m late for work, can you tell me where the nearest station is?”

 

While talking, Jian Luo was looking for the bathroom everywhere and he almost tripped over the carpet on the ground in the middle. He didn’t feel anything, but all the servants had their brows raised!

 

The maid quickly said, “What are you looking for? Can I help you?”

 

Jian Luo said, “Where is the bathroom? I’m going to take a shower.”

 

“On the left.” The maid pointed him in the direction and added, “You don’t have to worry. It’s okay to be late, just take your time.”

 

Jian Luo was still thinking about the attendance award, so he perfunctoryly replied: “I see.”

 

The maid was afraid that he would fall in a hurry, so she quickly followed behind and said, “You don’t have to go to the station. The marshal will take you there personally, if you want to go.”

 

“He?” Jian Luo panicked when he thought of Lu Shifeng, that dog man, and simply said, “Forget it, I don’t want him.”

 

“…”

 

The room was suddenly silent.

 

Jian Luo felt a little strange and turned around: “Why aren’t you saying anything…”

 

As soon as he turned around, he saw the man standing at the door. Lu Shifeng was wearing a military uniform and his posture was straight and tall. He looked at Jian Luo and squinted: “Then, who do you want?”

Chapter 33 – The dragon cubs were found out

 

Jian Luo’s stomach hurt really badly.

 

His hand was clutching the sofa and the veins on his wrist were about to burst out. He took some time to breathe: “Lightbrain, check it out for me. What’s going on?”

 

The light brain responded quickly: “What happened to you now?”

 

Jian Luo clutched his stomach and shrank: “…I’m pregnant. Can you find out why I suddenly have abdominal pains?”

 

Light Brain’s efficiency became faster. It searched its existing knowledge base and finally obtained the best result: “Taking into account your current situation, I have come up with an optimal solution.”

 

Jian Luo: “What?”

 

“Contact the child’s father.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo gritted his teeth and genuinely panicked. He had no prior experience and he didn’t know the procedure after having a child with a Dark Star. He had never taken care of small dragons before and had not even read Dark Star’s parenting guide.

 

At this moment, was it because he ate something wrong?

 

Or was there something he shouldn’t have done?

 

Before, he didn’t even know if he was going to keep the child. Who knew that now, he would be terrified of the problems concerning the child now.

 

Lightbrain said: “There are many reasons for your abdominal pain and it could be due to the fetus’ aura or because there are some problems with the cub’s health or because it is frightened. To know specifically, it is recommended that you contact a doctor for a detailed examination and consultation.”

 

Jian Luo was helpless: “Okay.”

 

When one is cornered to a certain extent, other worries tend to become null. Now, Jian Luo has finally made his decision. He searched through the contact information on his information terminal.

 

Lu Shifeng…

 

Lu Shifeng.

 

He remembered having clearly contacted him before, but Jian Luo had to search for a long time before finally finding the name of the Marshal in the last row.

 

He pressed the dial button.

 

The small communication light ball spun around in mid-air and Jian Luo sat up to change his position. After shifting around, the sticker on his body was rubbed off.

 

Finally, the communication was picked up and the low voice of a man came from there: “Hello.”

 

At the same time, Jian Luo no longer felt any pain. There was also no soreness in his waist, nor any pain in his stomach. His entire body felt good.

 

Lu Shifeng waited for a long time: “Yes?”

 

“…”

 

Would you be very angry if I said there was no problem now?

 

Jian Luo was thinking and he hesitated: “It’s not a big deal, I made a mistake, but right…”

 

“Luoluo!”

 

A voice came from the door outside: “I just heard a voice from your room, are you okay?”

 

Jian Luo quickly said, “I’m fine.”

 

Lu Shifeng on the other side of the call said, “Did anything happen?”

 

“No.” Jian Luo explained to him again: “Nothing happened.”

 

“…”

 

There was a silence between the two.

 

Half a second later.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “I’m hanging up.”

 

Jian Luo gave an “en, and responded, “Okay.”

 

The phone call ended here.

 

When the phone call ended, Jian Luo was relieved. Originally, he was all over the place. No matter what happened, he was the one who asked Lu Shifeng for help first. However, now the pain is gone, all his rationality finally returned to him.

 

Jian Luo lowered his head and suddenly saw a red sticker on the sofa. He had a good memory and was sure that he did not have this thing in his room before, let alone have it on his body.

 

He flipped the red sticker over and saw a row of small characters on the back: SY

 

Jian Luo’s face turned cold and he said to Lightbrain, “Help me find out what this red sticker with an SY is?”

 

Lightbrain searched up this topic.

 

The results came out soon. Red SY stickers are mainly used to detect pregnancy. However, because most of them are used by humans, they are poorly made. If used improperly, it may affect the pregnant woman.

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo squeezed the paper inside his fist.

 

It couldn’t have been stuck onto him by someone outside. A Dark Star would be the least likely to do this at all, so it must be a member of his own family.

 

“Bang!”

 

The door of the room was opened. Jian Luo came out and looked at Su You in the living room who was staring at him in surprise.

 

Su Liang, who was at the door’s entrance, turned around. When she did so, her face turned pale when she saw the sticker in Jian Luo’s hand.

 

Su You’s was focused on something else: “Luoluo, it’s red. You really have it!”

 

Su Liang came over: “What’s wrong?”

 

“Sister, look quickly. That sticker is red, it’s red. You know what it means?!” Su You took Su Liang’s hand: “Your family Luoluo really has it!”

 

Su Liang looked at Jian Luo with a little surprise.

 

Jian Luo was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. His face turned pale: “So you really stuck this on me?”

 

Su You was also a little embarrassed when she saw Jian Luo’s dark face: “Luoluo, what are you saying? Auntie didn’t mean to harm you…”

 

“Slap!”

 

A crisp slap resounded through the room.

 

Su You looked at her own younger sister in disbelief. She didn’t think that her own submissive little sister would hit her.

 

Su Liang gave her a push: “I told you not to let you stick it on Luoluo. What are you doing!”

 

Su You’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe that her little sister would do anything so she shivered a little and raised her voice: “You dare to hit me!?”

 

“Why would I not dare?” Su Liang stood in front of Jian Luo: “If something happens to Luoluo, I will never stop going after you!”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo felt a little headache coming.

 

Just as he was about to speak, the lights in the entire house flickered and there was a broadcast voice on the pillars outside: “Attention all, attention all. We have just received a notice that there will be an inspection troop coming to investigate. Please don’t move outside your homes and do pro-actively cooperate with the higher-up on their investigation work.”

 

A search?

 

Everyone was confused.

 

Only Jian Luo suddenly became nervous: “Troops? Is it someone from the military coming?”

 

Su Liang also shook her head, but Su You reacted first. She didn’t care that she was in pain after being hit and ran to Jian Luo: “Luoluo, is he coming to see you?”

 

Jian Luo thought for a bit.

 

Su You immediately stopped and felt that she probably guessed right: “Who’s child is it, Luoluo?”

 

Before, she thought that Jian Luo’s child was just an unknown Dark Star.

 

Looking at it now, it may not be like this. Maybe Jian Luo was pregnant with the cub of some bigshot!

 

Jian Luo was worried: “Shut your mouth.”

 

Su You’s face changed. She came over and raised her hand to pull Jian Luo: “Hey, you brat. Watch how you’re speaking with your auntie. Aren’t you…”

 

“Bang!”

 

The door was opened and a group of neatly armed soldiers marched in. This was the first time that Su Liang and her family saw soldiers of Dark Star.

 

They were tall and mighty, fierce-looking and not to be messed with.

 

Finally, Lu Shifeng’s figure appeared at the door. The man was wearing a tall and straight military uniform, the cold night outside further wrapped him in a layer of icyness. It was still raining outside so Secretary Jin held an umbrella for him behind. As the raindrops ran down the umbrella, it dripped down and wet the ground.

 

Lu Shifeng said in a deep voice, “Put the umbrella away.”

 

Secretary Jin quickly folded the umbrella. The group of Dark Stars who were standing in the somewhat narrow space looked oppressive. Jian Luo, who often met with them, dealt with it better. Su Liang and Su You were the ones who found it more difficult, and were almost too afraid to even breathe.

 

Lu Shifeng stepped forward and walked over.

 

Su Liang bravely came up and stood in front of Jian Luo as Lu Shifeng stopped in front of her. They looked at each other. The woman had never seen anything like him in her whole life before  and it made her legs go soft.

 

Jian Luo said, “Mom, it’s alright.”

 

Lu Shifeng bypassed her and stopped in front of Jian Luo. He looked down at him: “What did you call me earlier for?”

 

Jian Luo was very afraid: “It’s nothing.”

 

“Really.” Lu Shifeng’s eyes stopped around Jian Luo’s stomach as he raised his eyebrows: “That scent could be smelt in the whole of Peace Paradise.”

 

Jian Luo was curious: “What scent?”

 

Secretary Jin explained: “It’s the smell of the cubs. If there is any danger, the cubs will give off a scent. There is now a lot of noise on the Internet. If it weren’t for the military stopping it, I’m afraid there would be a commission here.”

 

On Star Online, many Dark Stars were emotional:

“Did some humans do something?”

“I wasn’t sure if it was the smell of cubs, but I’m not the only one who feels it!”

“That’s impossible. Let’s go find out about it together? I’m so worried.”

“As if you’ll be of any use. Let the military or the Majesty investigate further!”

 

When everyone realized that they wanted to inform the military, the military was already there. Not only were they present at the scene, they had already found the parties involved.

 

Jian Luo touched his stomach after gaining this knowledge: “So there’s a scent, but I can’t smell it.”

 

Lu Shifeng squatted down. He was originally wearing gloves on his hands, but he took it off, revealing his well-defined knuckles. The man stretched out his hand and took the pregnancy test paper from Jian Luo’s hand: “Did you buy this?”

 

Before Jian Luo could speak, Su You next to him said, “I bought it, I bought it!”

 

In order to get attention, Su You made her voice louder: “It was me who first judged that Luo Luo was in this situation, so I bought him a pregnancy test to help Luoluo test it out, you see…”

 

The volume of her voice slowly fell as the temperature in the room became colder and colder by one degree at a time.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced sideways, raised his eyelids and spoke in a dark tone, “Did I ask you something?”

 

Not everyone could stand after listening to Lu Shifeng’s commands. Afterall, he was a commander who fought on the battlefield all the year round. A commander whose eyes could make thousands of others retreat. Su You’s legs went weak and she took a few steps back before directly falling onto the ground.

 

Jian Luo was quite honest: “It was indeed her who bought it. However, its poor quality has made the few cubs inside frightened.”

 

When he heard the words “these few”, Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows. The cold air that almost froze the room all dissipated. Those who knew him well knew this meant that the marshal had a good relationship with this person.

 

After Jian Luo finished speaking, he was also a little scared.

 

To be honest, he was a little afraid that Lu Shifeng would get mad at him or something.

 

But after waiting for a long time, Lu Shifeng just said, “The car is outside, I’ll take you to check.”

 

Jian Luo was stunned: “Check?”

 

“En.” Lu Shifeng asked confidently, “Have you ever done a pregnancy test?”

 

Jian Luo choked: “No.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Let’s go then.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo felt that this sudden progress made him a little scared!

 

Su Liang next to him whispered, “Luoluo…”

 

“Mom.” Jian Luo stood up, looked around and decided to bite the bullet and introduce him to the other: “This is Lu Shifeng, Marshal Lu.”

 

Su Liang was stunned stupid.

 

Jian Luo was all tangled up in this situation. After he woke up, Su Liang clearly warned him not to get involved with the military and Lu Shifeng. At first, he kept his promise well, but he later even became pregnant with cubs in his stomach. He really felt sorry for disregarding the earnest teachings of his mother.

 

Lu Shifeng turned around and looked at Su Liang.

 

Su Liang took a few steps back. She was terrified of the military personnel: “You…”

 

Lu Shifeng, the famous Marshal Lu of the empire nodded very politely to her with a touch of elegance and indifference on his face. He took the initiative to reach out in a discrete and calm voice: “Hello, I’m Lu Shifeng.”

 

Su Liang stretched out her trembling hand: “I am Luoluo’s mother.”

 

“I have long wanted to meet you.” Lu Shifeng retracted his hand: “I’ll take him for a maternity check later, you don’t mind?”

 

Although it was a question, there is a kind of force to it.

 

Su Liang looked at Jian Luo and saw that Jian Luo was frantically signalling that he’ll be safe: “No, I just happened to have a look too, An, I’ll be back soon.”

 

Su Liang nodded.

 

Jian Luo said, “I’ll go and change my clothes.”

 

Lu Shifeng nodded slightly and let him pass. When Jian Luo left, he saw Su You, who was standing beside him, secretly hiding.

 

Because she was the only one that dared move, two Dark Stars guarding the periphery caught her.

 

The soldier said, “Marshal, what will we do with this?”

 

Lu Shifeng turned around and glanced at Su You: “Bring it back and hand it over to the legal affairs department for trial. Sentence it accordingly for intentionally injuring others.”

 

Su You was stunned for a moment. She never saw Lu Shifeng being so inhumane before!

 

Just what was the legal department? It’s a department that judges Dark Stars who have committed crimes and those who enter will have their skins peeled off.

 

Thinking of this, Su You hurriedly pulled Su Liang, panicking: “Sister, sister, please tell them quickly that it wasn’t just my idea. Didn’t you also know? Besides, I only wanted to test him. What does this have anything to do with the pregnancy test? He’s also my nephew, why is he so fragile..?”

 

Lu Shifeng’s eyes swept over and glanced at the mumbling woman, which made her shut up. Those blood-red eyes made others tremble.

 

“You should be glad that he is your nephew.” Lu Shifeng put his gloves back on slowly and said in a lazy voice: “Otherwise, you would not have just entered the legal department.”

 

The others from the dragon clan also looked at Su You in a negative light. Those who frightened the dragon cubs were the enemies of the whole dragon clan. If it wasn’t for fear of scaring Jian Luo before, they would have wanted to tear her apart.

 

When Jian Luo came out, the atmosphere outside was a little dignified.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him and frowned: “You’re going to be wearing these?”

 

Jian Luo simply wore a white shirt with a light green coat outside. Although it wasn’t too cold in this weather, it was still raining outside.

 

“It should be alright.” Jian Luo felt that there was no problem: “The car is close by right? I’ll get in the car soon.”

 

When he finished speaking, a coat came down to cover his shoulders. It was the military jacket that Lu Shifeng was wearing and it was still warm. He could still smell that familiar and calming smell from the other’s body which had a unique smell.

 

Originally, Jian Luo smelled nothing, but now it smelled good for some reason.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Let’s go.”

 

It was still raining outside so Secretary Jin was still holding an umbrella for Lu Shifeng before he said, “Help him.”

 

Secretary Jin nodded. For the Marshal, she didn’t dare to drench the dragon cubs even if he didn’t command her to do so. These were the little cubs that their dragon clan had been waiting for thousands of years. Although the original dragon clan had their genes replicated, in the past few thousands of years, they have tried and tried again, but always failed every year.

 

It seems that the heavens were intent on killing the dragon clan and the Dark stars.

 

It was a shadow that had followed them for hundreds of years.

 

But now, there was hope for the birth of  real and healthy dragon cubs. They were about to be born, and soon they will have cubs!

 

No one will dare to say that the Dark Star will go extinct and and no one dares to say that the dragon race will be wiped out, because the entire planet has hope now!

 

A cloud car was parked outside.

 

Jian Luo got in the car and Lu Shifeng sat beside him. Before he could get nervous, Jian Luo suddenly remembered: “Oops, I promised to broadcast live.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him sideways: “Ask for leave.”

 

Jian Luo was a little annoyed. He opened the information terminal and sighed: “I’ve already disappointed my fans several times. I’m definitely going to lose my fans again.”

 

Lu Shifeng was certain of this: “It won’t decrease.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “Why?”

 

“Because no one will have the time to watch your live broadcast tonight.” Lu Shifeng reminded him: “You don’t think they can smell the pheromones too?”

 

Jian Luo is very strange: “Can the cub’s pheromone travel that far?”

 

He also thought that he was in Peace Paradise so why did the news travel to the military. Who could explain this to him, was this logical?

 

Secretary Jin in the front was very anxious. She found it hard to say, but they didn’t come find him because of the pheromones at all. The main reason was because the human they found to taste the holy dragon fruit said that it didn’t taste good after eating it. After the marshal received a call from Jian Luo again, he couldn’t sit still, so he came here directly to find him.

 

Who would have thought that he would come at the right time coincidentally.

 

“Why not?” Lu Shifeng calmly said, “To check who’s cubs it is.”

 

“…”

 

Be a bit more humble, please.

 

After taking a vacation from the platform, Jian Luo ate melons on the Lightweb. He originally thought that it was not going to be a hot topic, but who knew that the heat was ridiculously high.

 

The top searches were:

#Whose cub is it#

#Was it really a cub#

#Who dared harm the cubs#

 

The number one hottest search was what many of them were discussing. The public generally thinks that this cub’s scent was so widespread that it was definitely the cub of a half-beast and if it was a half-beast, there were only a few that were nobles too.

 

Everyone had different opinions:

“Ah, ah, is it the little phoenix of the all-mighty priest?”

“Why not dragon cubs.”

“Isn’t it the lucky little Pixiu? Cute!”

“It is also possible that it’s from the little prince of the blood clan~”

 

Although the child was not their own flesh or blood, The Dark Stars were a relatively united species and very loving towards their own cubs, especially since they were the only cubs after  thousands of years. In the eyes of all Dark stars, no matter what or who it belonged to, they would be considered the entire planet’s babies, so everyone was kind-spirited.

 

Although they still don’t know where the cub is, everyone was busy all night, actively guessing and thinking.

 

Jian Luo said, “Would they be disappointed if they knew I was human?”

 

Lu Shifeng was looking at the urgent message from the little emperor in his hand. When he saw him talking, he turned his eyes and said, “No.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “Why?”

 

He thought that Lu Shifeng would comfort him with a few words along the way and be nice. Then, it would be a little more tender and sweet. Who knew he would hear the dog man saying:

 

“Because they are my cubs.” Lu Shifeng’s voice was calm and confident: “No one will dare say anything.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Why did he hold out hope?

 

After the bumpy ride, they finally arrived at the hospital. As soon as they got to the hospital, Jian Luo got out of the car. He thought there was going to be a queue but who knew that the medical staff would be ready.

 

As soon as they saw Jian Luo get out of the car, everyone looked at them with burning eyes. With those fiery eyes, Jian Luo swore that he had only seen it once when he entered Haidilao¹A famous hot pot franchise from China, known for their excellent customer service. Very, very excellent customer service. Also very pricey to eat at. in the 21st century of his previous life.

 

“How many months have you been carrying?”

 

A doctor beside him asked Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo was stunned. In fact, he had never thought of this before. Who knew that Lu Shifeng would say, “2 months.”

 

The doctor nodded, smiling, he said to Jian Luo, “Is there any trouble with the cub?”

 

Jian Luo was honest with the doctor: “Fortunately, there has been no trouble.”

 

“What good cubs.” The doctor squinted at Jian Luo’s lower abdomen. His attitude could be said to be very good: “Sit here for a while, we’ll perform examinations right away.”

 

Jian Luo was a little nervous.

 

It’s not his fault. He’s a man. When will a man ever experience getting a pregnancy test?

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Nervous?”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “A little bit.”

 

“I think you’re very courageous.” Lu Shifeng said slowly: “No one would dare to hide them. You’re too brave.”

 

“…”

 

It’s here, it’s here. He’s come to settle the account.

 

Jian Luo sat down on the chair and broke the news: “I didn’t hide it on purpose. I just didn’t know what to do.”

 

When he stopped talking, the doctor came in from outside.

 

What followed was a series of examinations. The more examinations were carried out, the more serious the doctor’s face became. Obviously, the situation was a bit more complicated than it seemed.

 

Finally, the tests stopped.

 

This room was surrounded by many top doctors and there was a lot of discussion about Jian Luo’s situation.

 

Half a day later, the attending doctor said to him, “Mr. Jian, from the results detected by our instrument, the situation between you and the cub is a little more special.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart sank: “Tell me, I can bear it.”

 

The attending doctor glanced at Lu Shifeng again and then said, “We found that your body seems to be different from the previous research on the human body. However, because of this, you are able to become pregnant with cubs. The problem now is, generally speaking, the little dragons in this period should be slowly forming eggshells, but yours has not. None of the three little dragons have formed eggshells…”

 

There was silence in the air.

 

If they were eggs, they could wait a few months after the eggs are formed before taking them away to incubate them on their own. However, the little dragons now were not egg-shaped and seem to be relying on him, which is very strange.

 

While everyone was worried, Jian Luo asked weakly: “Well, what should I do? Do you mean to get rid of them?”

 

“…”

 

The air became more silent and there was even an inexplicable murderous aura that seemed to slowly spread.

 

The cowardly Jian Luo raised his head and met Lu Shifeng’s death glare.

Chapter 32 – The Entire Planet’s Hope

 

Jian Luo was very grateful. He sighed sincerely: “Thank you Secretary Jin. You are such a good person!”

 

Secretary Jin was shy: “You’re welcome.”

 

Now I’m waiting on you, Mr Marshal. Just remember to give me a promotion and a raise.

 

Now that Jian Luo’s goal has been achieved, he is at ease. He doesn’t want to do anything now, all he wants to do is just get the holy dragon fruit and go home to eat it happily.

 

It’s a pity that Secretary Jin didn’t intend for him to do so.

 

Secretary Jin said, “Luoluo, shall I take you to get the fruit?”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay.”

 

Secretary Jin quickly calculated sneakily in her heart, and if she was correct, the commander should be training the dragons at the moment.

 

The youngest dragons of the Dragon Clan were now three hundred years old. They were the last batch of genetically compatible test-tube dragons.

 

After 300 years, no dragons have been reproduced again. With the intention to keep these batches of dragons healthy for long, the marshal will always take time to train the dragons to ensure that there will be some dragons available when they go into the battlefield in the future. The small dragons have sufficient ability to defend themselves.

 

Dragons are not afraid of death. They are not afraid of fighting because of the scarcity and frailty of their offspring, which only encouraged them to make themselves stronger, invincible and fearless.

 

“Secretary Jin.” Jian Luo asked her as she walked, “Aren’t you going to send the meal to the marshal first?”

 

Secretary Jin was taken aback: “Huh?”

 

‌Aren’t you going to deliver food?

 

It’s just that you just passed him by along the way.

 

“Hey, don’t be in a hurry.” Secretary Jin was anxious but she was smart: “The Marshal has a lot of official business to deal with every day so he is busy now. Even if we send it, he won’t be able to eat it.”

 

Jian Luo nodded in understanding even though he did not understand: “He often goes out to war, right?”

 

It was a high-risk occupation and countless men wanted it.

 

Secretary Jin thought about it: “He used, but now they’re basically defeated, there are very few wars now.”

 

Jian Luo was a little relieved.

 

The two of them walked forward. Further ahead was a military restricted area. Jian Luo still knew the rules very well so he asked: “Do I have to go further into the Dragon Valley or should I wait here?”

 

Secretary Jin smiled: “It’s okay, it’s not a core area. You’ll be fine in the periphery.”

 

Besides, you are close to the most important figure in the entire military, so what was there to be afraid of? There was nothing to be afraid of at all.

 

Jian Luo could only agree: “Okay.”

 

Secretary Jin praised her own wit. As long as she was smart enough, she can bring Luoluo to the marshal in a natural way. Just as the marshal trains the small dragons, she will let Luoluo see what a cool and amazing tyrant the marshal was. Then, won’t Luoluo fall in love with the marshal by then?

 

Plan approved, let’s go!

 

Jian Luo felt that Secretary Jin seemed to be a bit off, but decided to endure it for the sake of the holy dragon fruit.

 

The two walked to the floating training platform, and Secretary Jin’s eyes lit up: “Luoluo, look!”

 

Jian Luo was caught off-guard. Looking sideways, he saw a red dragon spreading its wings and  circling the sky. It raced towards the ground, where a young man was. There was a huge contrast in size between the bodies of the two parties. A person could tell at a glance that the young man had a cold demeanor.

 

The red dragon approached aggressively, but just as he was about to get closer, the young man jumped into the air lightly, stomped on the red dragon’s head and flipped onto the dragon’s back in mid air. The red dragon was obviously a little flustered. It looked back and saw Lu Shifeng taking out a sharp blade from his belt before throwing it directly at its eyes. Just looking at it would make one’s eye bleed!

 

“Wuu!”

 

Before the red dragon could wail, Jian Luo suddenly covered his face. He was so nervous that he didn’t dare move.

 

Secretary Jin quickly pulled on him: “Luoluo?”

 

Jian Luo bitterly said, “Your training is too violent…”

 

Oh my god!

 

Lu Shifeng, why are you so cruel to the little dragon cubs?

 

Secretary Jin comforted him: “It’s okay, it’s okay. The marshal has already calculated it. He was trying to scare it. As they can’t turn their back in battle, he is just trying to teach the dragon that their eyes are very vulnerable.”

 

The battle not far away was also over. The little red dragon was really frightened, whimpering aggrievedly, wuwuwu, you really scared this dragon to death…

 

Lu Shifeng jumped off its back and looked at Jian Luo before looking at it: “Do you know what went wrong?”

 

The little red dragon nodded his dragon head lightly.

 

Lu Shifeng walked to the ground and pulled out the dagger that cut deep into the hard concrete. He raised his hand as the little red dragon leaned over to nuzzle it. Its red scales became a little hot from the fierce battle just now. Lu Shifeng lowered his head. From the side, his face was sharp, but his eyes looked a little gentle when he looked at the small dragon. He said in a deep voice, “Pay attention next time.”

 

The little red dragon behaved well and rubbed itself against him again.

 

On the other side, Jian Luo was ready to run away. He quietly said to Secretary Jin, “Aren’t we going to get the holy dragon fruit? Let’s go.”

 

Secretary Jin looked at him suspiciously: “Since we’ve already seen the marshal, pass him the meal first.”

 

“…”

 

After seeing him, I feel nervous.

 

Jian Luo had ten thousand complaints in his heart, but he couldn’t just take other people’s holy dragon fruit and then beg to leave quickly, right?

 

Thinking about it, he could only resign and nod: “Okay.”

 

Just as he was talking, Lu Shifeng stepped onto a suspension bridge in the air and came over. The man may have just had a spar so there were still a few dragon scales on his neck that have not completely faded away. Seeing the scales, Jian Luo recalled the other night, which made him feel a little panicked.

 

Lu Shifeng’s eyes fell on him: “Do you feel it difficult to come meet me?”

 

Jian Luo shook his head determinedly: “No.”

 

“Are you in a hurry?” Lu Shifeng stood in front of him with his military jacket dr4p3d over his strong arms. He looked at Jian Luo: “You seem to want to leave quickly.”

 

“…”

 

Where did you hear that from?

 

Jian Luo bit the bullet: “I’m afraid of disturbing your work. My presence here is also not very good.”

 

Lu Shifeng flickered his eyelids to look at Secretary Jin.

 

Secretary Jin felt the murderous aura immediately. Now, she was the one in a hurry as she said quickly, “It’s because Mr. Jian insisted on coming to bring you your meal, that’s why I let him come!”

 

I’m sorry, Jian Luo!

 

This is for the greater good!

 

Jian Luo was stunned when he heard Secretary Jin’s words. He blinked as Lu Shifeng looked at him in a relaxed manner: “Were you the one who requested so?”

 

“…”

 

I didn’t.

 

But in the current situation, it was better to admit it so Jian Luo endured the humiliation: “Yes.”

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a smile. His smile made Jian Luo and Secretary Jin both breathe a sigh of relief, but before that sigh could fully be relieved, they heard the man say, “If it’s the case, then stay back and accompany me to eat.”

 

Jian Luo blanked out for a moment.

 

On the contrary, Secretary Jin was very relieved. He didn’t expect that the old marshal would suddenly know how to flirt. Seems like he still knew how to make other’s stay. She was about to shed tears.

 

Jian Luo quickly waved his hand: “No, I have to go back to work later.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “At Moonlight?”

 

“No.”

 

“Do you have a hobby of changing jobs?” Lu Shifeng frowned: “It seems that your job is different  every time I see you?”

 

Jian Luo: “…I didn’t change jobs.”

 

Seeing Lu Shifeng still looking at him, Jian Luo felt that it was necessary to clarify himself: “I was sent by Moonlight on a business trip to cultivate seeds at the seed base.”

 

Secretary Jin’s eyes lit up: “Luoluo, you sure know a lot!”

 

Jian Luo was a little embarrassed: “It’s okay, I don’t know much about it. I’m only a little better than others at cooking. As for other stuff, I might not be too good at it.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s tone was very strange: “At Phoenix Stage?”

 

“It seems so. I heard that the high priest is also nearby.” After seeing some sweat on Lu Shifeng’s face, he took out a clean cloth from his pocket: “Do you want to use this to wipe?”

 

Secretary Jin’s heart skipped a beat.

 

After all, she knew that the marshal never used the items offered by outsiders!

 

Stay cool, Jian Luo.

 

As she was about to get nervous, Lu Shifeng took the handkerchief. There was a small golden sun embroidered on the handkerchief and a bright little face on the sun. It looked cute and beautiful. He asked in a deep voice: ” You made this?”

 

“I drew the design.” Jian Luo took no credit: “But my mother embroidered it.”

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t say anything and accepted it.

 

Jian Luo was still thinking about the holy dragon fruit and was a little anxious. After all, he was still in a hurry to go back to work, so he looked at Secretary Jin and blinked non-stop, crazily hinting at her.

 

Secretary Jin: “…Luoluo, are your eyes uncomfortable?”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth evoked a meaningful smile: “He wants you to take him to get the fruit.”

 

Secretary Jin was stunned.

 

Jian Luo was also a little embarrassed. He didn’t expect that Lu Shifeng not only heard it, but also understood him comprehensively.

 

“Most people don’t like the taste of the holy dragon fruit’s flesh.” Lu Shifeng’s eyes swept around Jian Luo’s stomach, whether intentionally or unintentionally: “Do you like it?”

 

Jian Luo bit the bullet and said, “Human’s preferences in tastes are different from yours.”

 

Lu Shifeng was silent for a while before finally saying to Jian Luo, “If you can’t carry it back, I’ll have someone send it to your house.”

 

Although his voice was indifferent and ruthless, Jian Luo heard a hint of emotion when he listened. He nodded: “Okay, I’ll go back to work first.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Go.”

 

Jian Luo just ran away. He couldn’t run very fast, but his short legs were still able to pull themselves together. Watching his back as he left, Secretary Jin was a little dazed until she heard Lu Shifeng say in a low voice, “What are you looking at?”

 

Secretary Jin abruptly closed her eyes and hurriedly said, “No, not looking at anything.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at her with a little disgust in his eyes. In the end, he didn’t strike the secretary, only speaking in a low voice, “Go find a human.”

 

Secretary Jin wondered: “What for?”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids and glanced at her: “Let him try a holy dragon fruit.”

 

“…”

 

When the two pairs of eyes met, Secretary Jin’s eyes slowly changed from doubt to shock.

 

Then, her whole blood seemed to boil as her golden dragon scales emerged uncontrollably. She stammered, “You, do you mean…?”

 

Lu Shifeng played with the handkerchief Jian Luo gave him in his hand and said in a low voice, “Go pick him a good box of fruits and send it to him. Don’t starve him.”

 

Secretary Jin stood at attention and saluted, with a high voice she said: “Yes!”

 

Hey, forget a box. Even if the cubs want to eat the fruits in the entire Holy Valley, they will all be harvested. Regardless, the mother tree will not starve the cubs!

 

On the other side

 

Jian Luo squatted next to where the pepper seeds were planted and looked at the sapling.

 

Wang Heng next to him sneered: “Without nutrient water, the seedlings will not get any nutrition at all. But you were too brave.”

 

“Nutritional water is definitely good.” Jian Luo sat cross-legged on the small rocking chair: “But nutrient water only promotes the growth of the seedlings. The real good seedlings should be left to germinate in the soil and overcome difficulties with their abilities. Only the ones that germinate and sprout out are the ones that should be allowed to grow tall.”

 

The corners of Wang Heng’s mouth were twitching: “…such an absurd reason.”

 

Jian Luo decided not to care about him.

 

When he was a child, his family lived in the countryside. He was picked up by his adopted parents. He heard that he had been thrown on the side of the road and was almost bitten by a dog. Fortunately, he was brought back before he was bitten.

 

He had four siblings in his family and he was the youngest, but also the one who worked the hardest.

 

Luo, not as in descended onto land, but fallen down¹Jian Luo is now telling the story of how he got his name in the first place.

Because Jian Luo’s name is 简落 in cn. So the cn character 落 (Luò) can carry multiple meanings.

落地 – descend to the ground (god-sent from above)
落下 – fallen down (failure).

 

At this time, some of the words he often heard were nothing more than the occasional:

“Get up and cook!”

“Why is it so difficult for you to cook some food!”

“Going to school? Do we look like we have money at home?”

 

From childhood all the way to adulthood, Jian Luo was best at dealing with meals. It was only because he was able to cook well that he could have a bite of food and not be beaten.

 

People who grow up in this environment were either willing to degenerate into obscurity or strive to climb up. The cultivated seedlings also followed this line of reasoning.

 

Jian Luo looked at the seedlings in Wang Heng’s glasshouse: “You are growing Chinese cabbage, but the temperature is a bit high. Chinese cabbage is suited to temperatures at least 25% cooler.”

 

Wang Heng sneered: “Have you ever planted it? Your tone of voice is very confident.”

 

Jian Luo, who was on the rocking chair, rocked back and forth as he nibbled on the roasted sweet potatoes he brought from home: “You think I’m trying to boss you around, but I just don’t want another vegetable variety to be extinct because of you.”

 

Wang Heng looked at him coldly: “Grow your chili peppers first before spouting nonsense.”

 

Jian Luo saw that he didn’t want to listen, so he wasn’t going to be pushy either.

 

Ever since he became pregnant, he was very tired and liked to sleep. It was good that he wasn’t at Moonlight. That place was noisy, unlike this quiet place. Besides, there were only two people in the shed and Wang Heng didn’t bother with him so he was also undisturbed here. 

 

In the evening

 

Jian Luo came home and was going to start a live broadcast tonight. He was fully prepared this time. Since the dragon cub didn’t like the smell of raw food, ​​he would make something plain and eat it with rice noodles. It would be simple, convenient and also delicious.

 

As soon as he entered through the door, Jian Luo saw his aunt sitting on the sofa.

 

His aunt glanced at the door: “Hey, Luoluo came back. Auntie was just talking about you. It’s not peaceful outside now, so I’m worried about you.”

 

Jian Luo came in to change his shoes: “Since it’s not very peaceful outside, auntie, you should go home soon and not hang around outside.”

 

Su You’s face changed: “This child…”

 

Jian Luo was too lazy to pay attention to her, but said to Su Liang, “Mom, was there an express delivery today?”

 

Su Liang, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, came out and asked, “Are you talking about the two boxes? They were sent by someone and are in your room, not opened yet.”

 

Jian Luo responded with an ‘en’.

 

He went back to his room and saw a well-sealed cardboard box containing the holy dragon fruits. He never imagined that Secretary Jin would be so generous. Not only did she deliver the promised box, there were even two boxes!

 

Jian Luo squatted down, took a pair of scissors and started to unpack the outer wrapping. If one didn’t unpack it, the items inside remain uncertain. After unpacking, he found that the packaging was very delicate, keeping a constant temperature and acting as a fresh-keeping box. The whole box was crystal clear:

[Wonderous things can’t last for a long time, but with the Tiny Gold Box, now it can.]

 

Jian Luo said to the lightbrain of his information bracelet: “What is the Tiny Gold Box?”

 

After a quick load, the brain answered quickly: “According to the search, the Tiny Gold Box is priced at 120,000 star dollars and is used to store and transport vegetables and fruits that nobles like.” 

 

The lightbrain scanned again: “There are about 15 holy dragon fruits in the box. Roughly estimating, its total value is approximately equal to 80,000 star dollars based on the quality and weight…”

 

Jian Luo was shocked stupid, that is to say, he had casually asked Secretary Jin for a box of fruits, but came back with 230,000 star dollars?

 

There are two boxes, so isn’t it about 500,000?

 

He remembered that before, his mother, Su Liang, had farmed in the cultivation base year-round and her annual salary was only 100,000. The nobles simply handed him two boxes of fruit, but it amounted to an ordinary person’s 5 year’s worth of salary.

 

Damn these evil rich people.

 

Jian Luo took a holy dragon fruit out of it. The fruit was golden and ripe. The pulp inside was crystal clear. He took a bite out of the softness and its juice was sweet but not too sugary. It tasted like vanilla ice cream. 

 

“Jian Luo.”

 

There was a knock on the door from the outside.

 

Jian Luo said, “Mom, what’s up?”

 

“Are you going to livestream today?” Su Liang asked him outside: “If you’re going live, mom will help you clean up the kitchen and prepare things.”

 

Jian Luo swallowed what was left in his mouth: “I’ll be live broadcasting, mom. Help me cook some rice. I’ll go out and get it later. You don’t need to help me prepare the dishes today.”

 

Su Liang responded: “Okay, you just got off work, so eat and then broadcast live, don’t starve yourself.”

 

Jian Luo simply responded with a sound.

 

He found that the dragon cubs really liked this fruit. In the past, it wouldn’t matter if he was full, he would still feel crazed and uncomfortable.

 

But only after eating one of these, he felt full. He even felt so full of energy that he could go out and run ten laps.

 

Outside

 

Su You pulled on Su Liang’s sleeves: “I told you yesterday that you have to take this to heart. He is pregnant with children. How could you misread it? Did you not notice? Even I see it clearly. Even though there’s nothing wrong, Luoluo will always subconsciously touch his stomach. He also retches when he smells something fishy, and his walking posture too. I swear I’m right.”

 

Su Liang was still hesitant: “But…”

 

Su You really couldn’t wait. She heard it clearly that the Dark Stars had no cubs at all, due to their inability to breed. If Jian Luo really does happen to be pregnant, their entire Su family will follow and gain a prosperous life.

 

She had to make her properly understand this.

 

“Are you afraid that asking Luoluo will make him look bad? Or perhaps you’re worried that he won’t tell you.” Su You lowered her voice: “I have a pregnancy test sticker. It can be attached to Luoluo’s body, and it won’t take long. If Luoluo is really pregnant, the piece of paper will change color and then we will know everything.”

 

Su Liang thought about it, but shook her head and refused: “No, Luoluo will tell me when she wants to tell me, eldest sister. It’s our family matter so you don’t need to worry about it. I’ll take you home tomorrow. “

 

Su You was stunned for a moment and her face was a little ugly: “Sister, what do you mean? Is it that big sister’s words are hard to listen to? I only feel that his personality has changed. His temperament is also not the same as before, don’t you have any suspicions…”

 

“Big sister!” Su Liang suddenly said coldly: “I’ll handle my own son. I know him very well. Thank you for your kindness, big sister. I believe that if Luoluo doesn’t tell me anything, it’s because he’s dealing with hardship. Then, he doesn’t have to say it.”

 

Su You: “You…”

 

She wanted to say more but Su Liang had already turned away.

 

Looking at her back, Su You gritted her teeth as she held the paper in her hand with hatred before sneering.

 

Oh, if you won’t test it, I’ll test it.

 

Jian Luo came out of the room, walked to the dining table and sat down: “Mom, what are we eating today?”

 

“You don’t have a good appetite these two days, so mom will cook porridge for you.” Su Liang busied herself in the kitchen before bringing out the dishes: “Fried potato.”

 

Jian Luo whiffed it: “It’s so fragrant. Mom, your cooking skills are improving.”

 

Su Liang smiled embarrassedly: “You’re speaking nonsense.”

 

Jian Luo drank the porridge with a smile. Halfway through his meal, he heard a sound from the window outside and he was stunned: “Mom, is it raining outside?”

 

Su Liang put down what she was doing and glanced outside: “Oh, it’s true! There are still things in the yard.”

 

Jian Luo said, “I’ll help.”

 

“No, no, no!” Su Liang said, “You continue eating. There’s nothing much. Just leave it to mom.”

 

Jian Luo already walked there halfway, so Su You, who was behind him, came over and patted him on the shoulder: “Good Luoluo. Listen to your mother. Auntie will go out to help. You go back to eat your dinner.”

 

Jian Luo still wanted to go out but Su You pushed him back: “Okay, okay. We don’t need your help, just go and sit.”

 

“Okay, thank you auntie.”

 

Jian Luo went back to eat.

 

Su You looked at the sticker on his back and smiled: “It’s nothing, just go.”

 

Jian Luo was eating slowly while thinking about the content of the live broadcast for a bit. In the living room not far away, Su Liang and her aunt were squatting at the door to check on the dried fruit.

 

Jian Luo said, “Mom, I’ll go back to my room to change clothes and take a shower first before I come out again.”

 

Su Liang didn’t look back: “Got it.”

 

Jian Luo packed up and went back to his room to rest. As time went by, the sticker began to work. Its tentative stimulus, caused the sensitive dragon cubs to notice it at once. They thought that their mother was being threatened by the outside world and started to feel uneasy.

 

As soon as he opened the door, Jian Luo felt a slight abdominal pain and slammed the back of his hand onto the door with a ‘Bang!’ as he almost fell onto the ground.

 

On the Dark Star, most of them were beasts while the rest were half-beasts.

 

From ancient times to the present, Dark Stars have lived in groups. The beasts naturally relied on scent to discern others. This was especially true for high-level clans with stronger scents.

 

Dark Star cubs were very precious, especially ones from the dragon family. When a female is pregnant, some dragons in the Dragon Valley will assume the position as her guardian protector. Once the female or her cub are threatened, even the most premature cubs will emit an uneasy aura. This aura can spread up to a radius of ten miles to send a signal for help.

 

Peace Paradise is more than ten miles away from the Sky city in the upper realm, but there were still many Dark Star people who are close by:

“I think I smell a signal from some cubs. Please slap me awake from my dream.”

“I smell it too.”

“Cubs? God, whose cubs is it?”

“The scent is a little uneasy, is it in danger?”

 

“Bam!”

 

Some irritable Dark Star smashed the table: “Who is it!? Whoever dared to harm the cubs who can’t even see yet, our entire planet will not let this go!”
