Chapter 31 – If not, let’s have a showdown

 

“…”

 

I’ll give you this bundle of joy instead, do you want it?

 

Jian Luo’s mood was very complicated now, and it became even more complicated after learning that there were more than two of them. There was still a question he had left: “How do you know they are dragon cubs?”

 

After all, the Dark Stars were not made up of just dragon creatures. He heard that there were also phoenixes, even though he, unfortunately, hadn’t seen them before.

 

The old man said cheerfully: “Last time Marshal Lu visited the cultivation base, weren’t you following beside him? Even I saw it.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo still wanted to argue with him to the very end: “That doesn’t mean I got involved with him.”

 

The old man asked back, “Then you’re not pregnant with dragon eggs?”

 

Jian Luo choked again.

 

The old man did not intend to expose him. Instead, he started to help him think: “I know what you are most worried about right now, but you still need to think carefully. The high priest of the empire is very powerful.”

 

There was a strange phenomenon in this world.

 

He has never heard this word before. However, after he heard of it once, it seems that the word kept popping up all day after he first heard it. 

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo finally decided to ask, “What does the High Priest do?”

 

“You don’t even know that?” The old man looked at him as if he was mentally retarded: “How come you don’t even recognize the high priest?”

 

Jian Luo was resigned: “My village had recently just been connected to the internet.”

 

“We are from the same village.”

 

“…”

 

The eyes met and there was silence.

 

Half a second later.

 

The old man finally decided to let it go and said solemnly: “The high priest Zhan Wentai, formerly known as Zhan Fengtai, is the last of the Phoenix clan and he is the only pure-blooded phoenix. The Phoenix clan people are psychic and very prosperous. However, one day, the clan leader predicted that the Dark Stars will usher in a catastrophe, causing the annihilation of their clans.”

 

Jian Luo felt like he was listening to a story: “Then what?”

 

“At that time… Naturally, no one believed it.” The old man picked up the teacup and drank some tea: “Think about it. The Dark Stars are the powerhouses in the universe. They are born to be favored by the heavens and no one dares oppose them. This kind of race, if one were to say they will face extinction, would you believe it yourself?”

 

Jian Luo agreed very much: “Every one of them are reaching 250 years. Except for their own clansmen, they think that everyone else is a weak chicken. Their sights are set so high that they don’t put anyone in their eyes. Plus, they think they’re so amazing every day.”

 

The old man said, “Other than that, they think they are so amazing.”

 

“…”

 

That’s enough.

 

Let’s stop talking about the obvious.

 

“So at that time, the Dark Stars didn’t take it seriously. After a hundred years passed, the fertility rate started to decline year by year. At first, no cubs were born in the dragon clan. Later, more from the blood clan, the pixiu clan, and other leading noble clans also had no children. Much later, this happened to those who weren’t even half-beasts too.”

 

Jian Luo wanted to ask why.

 

In fact, he had always thought that it was weird to ask but how could there be a planet where all the people lost their fertility at the same time?

 

Either way it’s too mysterious!

 

The old man stroked his beard and sighed: “The moment a flower blooms the most beautifully is when it is about to wither. This has been the case since ancient times. The day when mankind was on the verge of extinction was also the year when technology and our people were the most prosperous.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell into silence.

 

To be honest, he thought so too so he didn’t refute the old man’s remarks. Prosperous nations will eventually face decline, as they should one day.

 

But according to this logic, the extremes of decline can also be reversed. Humans and Dark Stars are two races that are on the decline, but who was more pitiful than the other? Back then, maybe it was because of this that the Dark Star accepted humans.

 

Thinking about it carefully, although the Dark Stars despise human beings, they have never done any actual oppressive acts. They gave the humans jobs, a place to live and procreate. In conclusion, they have given up their resources for humans.

 

If it weren’t for them, what humanity would ultimately face would be the demise of their entire race.

 

Jian Luo scratched his head: “According to what you said, the Dark Star people don’t seem to be so hateful anymore.”

 

“There is no absolute right or wrong.” The old man gave him a meaningful look: “If we have to discuss something, it is why you can get pregnant.”

 

“…”

 

You’re asking me?

 

Jian Luo choked: “I don’t know.”

 

“I found out when I checked your pulse.” The old man squinted: “Your body is not the same as the human beings in Peace Paradise.”

 

Jian Luo was slightly surprised: “What’s the difference?”

 

The old man smiled and said: “Your body structure is a little different, that’s why you are able to get pregnant. For a few days, I’ve been thinking about the reason before I suddenly realized that it was related to your diet. Your body, you did not grow up drinking nutrient solution since you were a child, right?”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened as he retorted: “How can that be?!”

 

But after thinking about it, he was silent again, because he thought of something even more terrifying and somewhat unacceptable.

 

‌Could it be – it was not his soul that was replaced at all!

 

It was possible that the car accident brought his entire body here directly. The environment where he grew up was on earth and the food he ate as he grew up were rice and vegetables. He also drank boiled water and wasn’t a poor child who grew up in harsh conditions and nutrient solution at all!

 

The old man looked at his difficult expression and smiled slightly: “You brat, you should think about it as soon as possible. If not, you’ll later be malnourished and it will bring harm to your life.”

 

Jian Luo came back to his senses and pursed his lips: “I want to ask… Dark Stars seem to be quite sensitive to smells. If I have this one in my stomach now, will it affect me?”

 

The old man shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. The dragon cubs are growing very fast. At this stage, they don’t have any needs yet. When they grow older, they will long for the scent of their father. If you don’t look for him now, you won’t be able to bear it either later.”

 

“…”

 

Fu-ck.

 

Jian Luo walked back home from the small medical center and felt that his entire body became very tired, hungry and sleepy but he didn’t want to pay attention to such things at all.

 

When he got to the door, he saw several people standing there.

 

Jian Luo was stunned. In his experience, once someone came in, they definitely didn’t come with good intentions.

 

“Yo, isn’t it Luoluo!”

 

A woman looked over.

 

Jian Luo had no impression of her at all: “Who are you?”

 

“Oh, my Luoluo.” The woman twisted her hair and came over to grab Jian Luo’s hand kindly: “Why did you forget me? I’m your aunt. I carried you when you were a child.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “That’s why only the child-me knew you.”

 

The woman’s face changed: “Child, you are so funny. You saw me two years ago, have you forgotten so soon?”

 

“…”

 

So why are you here? 

 

Just as Jian Luo was thinking, Su Liang came out and took a step back: “Mom, who is this person?”

 

Su Liang looked embarrassed: “Luoluo, it’s your aunt Su You. Something happened to her, so she wants to come and stay with us for a few days.”

 

Jian Luo’s head hurt: “What happened?”

 

Su You sighed: “Outside’s not the place to talk about it. Let’s go in and discuss it?”

 

Jian Luo actually didn’t want to go in with her, but he really didn’t have any memories of this aunt, so he decided to wait and see before he formed any opinions.

 

Everyone entered the house.

 

Su You looked around and raised her voice: “Aiyah, Ah Liang, the conditions in your house are good. It’s so clean. My God, is there food on the table? You can afford to eat this?”

 

Jian Luo rubbed his brows.

 

Su Liang hurriedly said: “Sister, keep your voice down. Luoluo just got off work so he’s tired. Don’t be noisy.”

 

Su You ‘tsk tsk-ed’ before saying;  “Aren’t I only saying a few words? How is my voice loud? Hey, I heard about you working in Sky city and making money. I heard that someone saw you a few days ago, that you managed to actually buy rice and it was delivered by the cloud express. Sigh, now that I find out that it was real, that you’re making money here. Don’t you even recognize me as your big sister?”

 

This time, Su Liang didn’t speak. Jian Luo opened his mouth first: “Auntie, are you my mother’s big sister?”

 

Su You nodded: “Yes.”

 

“Oh. Then since my mother is your little sister. As a big sister, you should help out your little sister, right?” Jian Luo smiled: “You know my mother has been laid off, so you can lend us money?”

 

Su You’s face changed: “You brat, why are you mentioning money when you open your mouth?”

 

Jian Luo raised his eyebrows: “Am I deaf? I remember that you mentioned it first, auntie. So when did I start talking about money?”

 

“…”

 

Su You glared at Jian Luo.

 

The woman was rude so she just sat down directly at the table: “Ah liang, your Luoluo has a huge temper, but I also know that it must not have been easy for you to raise children alone for so many years, so it cannot be compared to anything. I’m hungry, can I eat some of these dishes here?”

 

Su Liang had a headache.

 

Her eldest sister was actually not a bad person, but she liked to take advantage of her.

 

He must have heard some rumors somewhere and came to the door. If he doesn’t deal with it, maybe he will be entangled in the future.

 

Jian Luo sat down at the table: “Auntie, if you’re hungry, eat it.”

 

Su You’s eyes turned bright. With a smile, she said: “You’re still sensible. Auntie didn’t hurt you when you were younger. I even gave you some of the clothes you have.”

 

Jian Luo said, “Auntie, you haven’t told us why you came here.”

 

“…”

 

Su You pursed her lips angrily: “Why can’t I come and see if you’re alright? Your mother and I are blood-related sisters.”

 

Jian Luo curled his lips and smiled sarcastically.

 

Su Liang has been suffering for so long, but he didn’t see her sister come knocking on their door. However, as soon as she saw them buying rice, their sisterly relationship was suddenly magically restored.

 

Su Liang came out from the kitchen and served them all a hot meal. Today, she specially boiled a pork rib soup, which was salted as Jian Luo had taught her, so it still tasted okay.

 

Su Liang put the soup bowl in front of him and said softly, “Luoluo, you’ve worked hard these few days. Mom cooked it for you, eat more.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you mom.”

 

Although he was very hungry, he now only wanted to eat holy dragon fruit, and he was less interested in other meals.

 

But he still has to eat. If he doesn’t eat, it’s not that he won’t be able to bear it, even the little cubs won’t be able to bear it.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo still picked up the spoon and started eating.

 

Originally, Jian Luo wanted to eat a piece of pork rib, but when his mother cooked the meat, she didn’t cook it thoroughly enough, so when he bit into it, a fishy smell came out jarringly, forcing the nausea in his stomach to surging violently: “Urp…”

 

The spoon was dropped with a clang and Jian Luo rushed out.

 

Squatting in the bathroom and throwing up gastric acid, Jian Luo leaned on the sink to rinse himself off as Su Liang’s voice came from outside: “Luoluo, are you alright?”

 

Jian Luo rushed outside and said, “I’m okay.”

 

After tidying up his appearance, Jian Luo walked out the door, opened the door, and greeted the two pairs of a total of four eyes staring at him.

 

Su Liang hesitated: “Luoluo…”

 

“I’m really okay.” Jian Luo smiled at Su Liang: “Didn’t I tell you, my stomach has been uncomfortable for a few days.”

 

Su Liang’s furrowed brows remained furrowed.

 

For a few days, Jian Luo’s changes have been observed by his mother. Her child has lost weight too fast. He must be hiding something from her.

 

Jian Luo went back to the dining table. Looking at the pork ribs made him lose his appetite.

 

Su You glanced at him and asked proactively, “Luoluo, if you don’t want to eat, why don’t your aunt eat it for you?”

 

Jian Luo nodded his head and didn’t refuse.

 

Su You took away his bowl with the spare ribs. As she ate it, she said, “If you have a stomach problem, I’ll take a look. I didn’t have a good stomach when I was young.”

 

Jian Luo decisively refused: “It’s alright. It’s not a big deal, auntie. You can eat first and then go back after eating.”

 

‌He was chasing her away.

 

Su You frowned: “Luoluo, are you driving auntie away?”

 

Jian Luo wanted to nod. However, after realizing that it was not too good to do so, he just said, “Are you going to live here?”

 

“…”

 

Su You pouted: “I’ll only stay for a few days. Your family was so poor that you can’t even afford food. It was me, I was the one who brought food to your family then. Do you have any conscience when you say this now?”

 

Su Liang next to him couldn’t listen anymore: “Big sister, are you shouting at Luoluo? How would he know about what happened before he was born? I’m very happy to see you, but if you come to quarrel with my son, I won’t let you stay here anymore.”

 

It became quiet inside the house.

 

Jian Luo didn’t expect his soft-tempered mother to have some pride and was surprised for a while.

 

Su You was also stunned and only retorted: “I won’t say anything anymore, alright?”

 

Seeing them talking, Jian Luo also felt that he shouldn’t didn’t think about it. He put down the cutlery and went to wash up before going back to the room to rest. He was really tired every day.

 

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, Su You waved to Su Liang: “Come here.”

 

Su Liang wondered: “What’s the matter?”

 

“Your Luoluo looks like you when you had it.” Su You lowered his voice: “Believe me, there is nothing wrong. I gave birth to three children, so I have seen it before.”

 

Su Liang frowned and retorted: “Big sister, you’re speaking nonsense! My Luoluo doesn’t even have a partner yet. How can he have children? Besides, even if he is with child, he will marry a girl from our village!”

 

Su You pouted: “I’m speaking nonsense? I’ve heard that Dark Stars can make men pregnant. Your Luoluo works every day in Sky city, isn’t that enough of an explanation?”

 

“…”

 

Su Liang was silent.

 

The next day.

 

Jian Luo went to the seed cultivating base very early.

 

The seeds of chili peppers take 5-6 days to germinate, which is a bit long as it also requires much care.

 

During lunch break at noon, Wang Heng said, “I just came to inform you, because you are human, unlike us, you can have a 2-hour lunch break.”

 

Jian Luo was stunned: “What?”

 

“Don’t get carried away.” Wang Heng was very unhappy: “It’s just because you are too weak, so I applied for special care for you.”

 

“…”

 

Needless to say.

 

In those 2 hours, Jian Luo hesitated before thinking up a wonderful solution. Didn’t he still owe Lu Shifeng a meal? He could contact Secretary Jin around this time and go to the military. Then, no matter how, he will find an excuse to go to the Hanging Garden. He heard that there was where the holy dragon fruits were. Later, he will think of a way to get some.

 

Secretary Jin wasn’t a stingy person, right?

 

For the cub in his stomach…

 

Jian Luo has been thinking about this for a few days. His rationality is telling him to abort them but he has a hunch that if he aborts the child, his life will be turned upside down.

 

But is it alright to pick up the pace and move things forward a little?

 

He was hungry now!

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo couldn’t care anymore and sent Secretary Jin a message: “Secretary Jin, are you there?”

 

On the other side.

 

Secretary Jin was processing the mail to the marshal from various newspapers.

 

“Ding ding.”

 

When notification came, she quickly opened it and saw Jian Luo’s message. After reading his words, Secretary Jin felt tense all over.

 

To be honest, she found the field marshal blindly asking her these questions occasionally:

“Did anyone contact you?”

“Is no one’s looking for you lately?”

“Have you checked your messages?”

 

“…”

 

So what was the message?

 

She was just a weak, pitiful and helpless little assistant!

 

Now that Jian Luo has suddenly come to her with a message, the astute Secretary Jin immediately noticed that something was wrong. According to the scene of Jian Luo coming out of the marshal’s room last time, the situation became very clear. The two were most definitely involved with each other.

 

The marshal always asked her and although he didn’t say it clearly, she knew it!

 

Thinking of this, Secretary Jin’s attitude was extremely polite: “Luoluo, what’s wrong, is there something wrong?”

 

“It’s like this.” Jian Luo briefly retold her about today’s events: “I’m free now so can I borrow your cafeteria and use it to make the marshal a meal?”

 

Secretary Kim was very happy

.

‌What a coincidence!

 

Secretary Jin was also in a hurry to call for a car: “Public transportation will be slow, so how about you take our military’s car? It’s more convenient.”

 

Jian Luo thought it was because of her limited lunch break time and agreed to it.

 

The military car was really fast and it arrived in no time. When Jian Luo got out of the car, the canteen was unexpectedly close by. The chauffeur was very polite: “Secretary Jin has already arranged this with me.”

 

Jian Luo said thank you and left the car.

 

In fact, when he cooks for Lu Shifeng, he still doesn’t know much about Lu Shifeng’s palate. However, he still remembered that he was hired after making potato stew, so he was going to make that today.

 

The uncle in the kitchen was very happy when he saw him: “Luoluo?”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “How are you?”

 

“Where did Luoluo go?” The uncle in the kitchen sighed deeply, “I miss you.”

 

Jian Luo came over to find the ingredients: “I also miss you. I still remember that you like potato cakes. I’ll make them for you when I have time.”

 

The kitchen chef was grateful: “‌‌‌Good good.”

 

Jian Luo’s tenure was a really happy period in the chef’s life. The child would cook a lot of food, and because he had nothing to do every day, he would change his style. The uncle thought that those days would continue, but who knew that Jian Luo would leave suddenly.

 

“Uncle.” Jian Luo called out while taking vegetables from the freezer: “I heard that the military has recalled all of the holy dragon fruit, do you know why?”

 

The uncle was still at ease: “I don’t know about this matter very well, but I just heard that it has something to do with the mother tree?”

 

Jian Luo: “Mother tree?”

 

“Yeah.” The uncle explained: “In our military, half of them are half-beasts from the dragon clan. The military is actually built on the Dragon Valley and another reason why the dragons have been entrenched in it for generations is because the mother tree is also here. The mother tree is the originator of tens of thousands of dragons and the foundation of the dragon family.”

 

Jian Luo still didn’t understand: “What does it have to do with the recalling of all the holy dragon fruit?”

 

The uncle chuckled: “It doesn’t matter at first if we took out a lot of holy dragon fruit for foreign trade, but it seems to make the mother tree unhappy. After all, dragon fruit is supposed to be eaten by the cubs, and for the mother tree to be unhappy, it’s a given. However, we don’t have any cubs now… alas”

 

Jian Luo suddenly felt guilty: “Yes, yes, isn’t it a waste not to export it?”

 

The uncle spoke while washing the vegetables: “Everyone thinks so. There is no way around it if we can’t sell or let it go to waste. We can only keep it. It’s fine for us from the dragon clan to eat it ourselves, we just can’t give it to outsiders.”

 

It’s okay if you eat it yourself?!

 

Jian Luo suddenly discovered a loophole!

 

Unable to hide his excitement, he replied: “Then, what do you think? Can everyone in our military eat it?”

 

The uncle nodded: “Yesterday, the marshal ordered that all the little dragons could eat it.”

 

That’s too good.

 

Lu Shifeng, your cubs are crying!

 

Jian Luo hurriedly asked: “Actually, I also admire the holy dragon fruit. Do you think I can try it?”

 

The uncle was hesitant: “It should be alright, but it doesn’t matter what I said. Aren’t you close with Secretary Jin? Ask her, she is more clear regarding this.”

 

Jian Luo hurriedly said, “Alright, alright.”

 

Secretary Jin, I really misunderstood you before. I require your strength at this critical moment!

 

Jian Luo, who felt that the problem was about to be solved, was very motivated. Even the cubs knew that they were about to get something to eat, so they didn’t make trouble or make him vomit, which was good.

 

Today’s dish was a simple potato stew with salt added. The potatoes have a strong fragrance and the meat is soft and tender. Jian Luo fried a few potato pancakes, and made a boiled egg custard and boiled egg soup along the way.

 

There was an enticing aroma in the kitchen.

 

Secretary Jin then received a message from Jian Luo: “Could you please come and pick me up?”

 

Sure!

 

Secretary Jin has already thought about it. After that, she will talk to Jian Luo first before inquiring about the marshal’s affairs. Then, she will take Jian Luo directly inside before closing the door. 

 

It’s perfect!

 

Jian Luo stood in the sky garden with a lunch box and waited for Secretary Jin.

 

There were still many dragons in the sky garden, mostly big ones, but there were also many small dragons. He also saw the little golden dragon from last time.

 

The scales of the little dragon were golden and they glowed in the sun as he lay lazily on the grass with its little tail swaying slowly. When another little red dragon came from the other side, the two little dragons started playing, their wings fluttering. Occasionally, they will make a kind of baby-like cry or whine, which was somewhat different from their mighty appearance.

 

Suddenly.

 

Jian Luo began to think about what his cubs would look like.

 

Would it also be a black dragon? If so, it must be very handsome. Brother Long was very cool at the time, so big and handsome.

 

Maybe since there were two, the two will play around like this.

 

Thinking about it, Jian Luo’s heart suddenly softened. The cubs were innocent. Was it fate that he came here? If he can’t get it from Secretary Jin, would he otherwise go to Lu Shifeng later?

 

“Jian Luo?”

 

As he was thinking about it, Secretary Jin’s voice came from behind.

 

Jian Luo turned around and saw Secretary Jin and was happy: “Long time no see.”

 

“Long time no see Luoluo.” Secretary Jin saw that he was looking at the small dragons: “Do you like our dragon clan very much?”

 

“…”

 

I do not dare to.

 

Jian Luo thought about it and changed his reply: “I heard that you have had a bumper harvest¹A crop that has yielded an unusually productive harvest. (More than usual) of holy dragon fruit, which is quite strange.”

 

“It is indeed a bumper harvest. This year, the trees in the entire Dragon Valley have bloomed.” 

 

Secretary Jin smiled: “But the little dragons don’t particularly like to eat it. They generally like it when they are still inside their eggs, and after that, they don’t want to eat it as much anymore.”

 

Jian Luo was overjoyed and asked tentatively, “Is the holy dragon fruit yummy? I’ve heard it that it’s strange, but I wonder if there is a chance I can try it?”

 

Secretary Jin was stunned.

 

According to the marshal, it is only to be eaten by the dragon clan and was definitely to be divided among the others. She didn’t know if the mother tree would be angry.

 

However, she was a first-class secretary, so naturally, she was the best at solving problems for the marshal. Now that the marshal’s old tree that rarely bloomed was doing so, if he was reluctant to part with even just a few fruits, how was he to find a partner?

 

Yep, it’s time to perform!

 

Thinking of this, Secretary Jin smiled: “No problem. If you like it, I’ll ask them to pack it in a box later. It’s nutritious so you can take it after you eat some.”

Chapter 30 – There are several cubs

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Su Liang was stunned.

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

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

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

“…”

Jian Luo said honestly, “No.”

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

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

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

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

“…”

The sorry state they were in was for real.

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

Plus there were many more reasons.

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

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

Su Liang was slightly surprised.

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

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

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

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

Jian Luo: “Okay.”

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

Its nectar was truly heavenly!

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

It was really, really small!

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

“Beep”

Fingerprint authentication was required.

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

Jian Luo felt that this was unbelievable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“…”

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

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

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

“…”

Alright, you win.

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

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

“Ugh……”

Raising a dragon was really tiring.

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

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

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

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

???

The little dragon cub would be so cruel?

As expected of Lu Shifeng’s seed.

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

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

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

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

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

“…”

I see.

The next day.

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

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

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

“Okay.”

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

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you.”

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

Jian Luo said, “I am.”

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

Jian Luo was suspicious: “Why?”

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

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

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

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

Understood.

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

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

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay, thank you.”

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

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

Jian Luo nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“…”

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

The man was taken aback.

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

“…”

There was a moment of silence in the air.

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

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

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

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

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

The young man nodded.

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

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

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

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

“…”

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

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

…

Alright, you’re too ruthless.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wang Heng snorted coldly, “Faker.”

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

“…”

Wang Heng left.

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

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

“Ugh……”

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

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

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

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

The other side.

Inside the temple, the lights were bright.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Zhan Wentai said, “You can return.”

The disciple said respectfully, “Yes.”

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

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

Zhan Wentai said, “What are you doing?”

“Mom!”

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

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

Zhan Wentai stood there and looked at him quietly.

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

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

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

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

“Sure.”

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

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

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

Zhan Wentai said, “Priest.”

“…”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Did that sound fun?

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

“…”

Their eyes met and there was a moment of silence.

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

They passed by each other without saying a word.

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

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

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

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

Give me a raise, thank you!

But Zhan Wentai just nodded: “Okay.”

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

Zhan Wentai was also a little surprised.

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

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

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

…

“Arriving at the next stop, Peace Paradise.”

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

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

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

“…”

What the hell?

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

“Go ahead.”

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

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

Jian Luo sighed.

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

“…”

Eat a fart, I can’t even afford it.

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

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

???

Dafuq?

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

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

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

Chapter 29 – I want to abort this child

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“What?!”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Stop!”

 

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

 

Suddenly,

 

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

 

“What…”

 

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

 

Jian Luo looked back in surprise.

 

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

 

The bodies of Dark Stars are strong.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Bang!”

 

A crisp gunshot rang across the corridor.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo stepped back a little, shivering.

 

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

 

“…”

 

That is hard to determine.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng sneered twice.

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng looked at him with an expression.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng made a noncommittal hum.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo snorted softly.

 

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

 

The two were talking when someone came down the stairs.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Why did you say this in such a surprised tone?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

???

 

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

 

Jian Luo rolled his eyes.

 

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

 

How can there be such a reason in this world?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The little emperor shook his head.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

For a moment, the space was quiet.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

????

 

The dean’s eyes widened.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Without any more words, Jian Luo was instantly softenened.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The little emperor nodded reluctantly.

 

Lu Shifeng took him aside: “Go back.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

After a long walk.

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng said nothing.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

This was simply outrageous.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng was not very satisfied with this answer.

 

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

 

So, the marshal reluctantly said, “Well.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t say yes or no.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng ignored him.

 

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

 

On the contrary

 

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

 

However, that was the problem.

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

The other side

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Unexpectedly, Jian Sheng was very happy.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Sheng nodded vigorously: “I know!”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

How can that place sound unreliable?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo almost turned around and wanted to leave.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo nodded lifelessly: “Yes.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo hurriedly handed over his wrist.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

For a moment, Jian Luo’s heart throbbed.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo: “Oh, yes, I have… what?!”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo spoke for a while.

 

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

 

After a long time.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo’s heart skipped a beat again.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

The old doctor was stunned.

 

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

 

Plus… it was a dragon.

 

Please just spare him.

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

“Unfortunately, I can’t have cubs.”

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

But–

 

Children are also innocent.

 

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

 

And–

 

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

Chapter 28 – Experiencing morning sickness

 

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

 

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

 

Su Liang outside heard a voice: “Luoluo?”

 

Jian Luo responded in a low voice.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

“Are you alright?”

“Should I call a doctor for you?”

“Uwuuu, you have to be strong!”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Other audience:

“??? This user again.”

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

“Why the torpedoes, why?!”

 

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

 

Everyone: “…”

 

This was a tough opponent.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

It must be him!

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Alright.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

This was Jian Luo.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

“???”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Halfway through his sentence, Jian Luo stopped.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo let out a sigh of relief.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The next day.

 

Jian Luo came to work at Moonlight today.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo smiled.

 

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

 

Jian Luo pushed the doors and walked in.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo felt overjoyed.

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

He was certainly a businessman.

 

Jian Luo resigned and said, “I will.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Let’s forget it. It’s as you said.

 

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

 

Jian Luo responded, “Understood.”

 

Nie Yan waved his hand: “Let’s go.”

 

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

 

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

 

Kazuki was stunned.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo hesitated: “Really?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

“Yeah, who knows what he’s here for.”

“Obviously he came through the backdoor.”

 

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

 

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

 

The crowd was silent.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo: “Can you do that?”

 

Kazuki said quickly, “Of course I can.”

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

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

 

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

 

This time, Kazuki was silent.

 

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

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

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

“Can you perform again?”

 

…

 

Jian Luo was very speechless now.

 

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

 

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

 

The barrage saw him stunned and kindly explained:

“We came from Xingwang.”

“Xingwang showed a video of you throwing up.”

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

 

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

#Jinjiang live vomited#

#kill the fish and vomit#

 

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

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

“Humans are so fragile.”

“Is this the morning sickness mentioned in books?”

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

“Is your stomach still uncomfortable?”

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

“What does it feel like to be uncomfortable?”

 

“…”

 

Go to hell, Dark Stars.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

In the fridge

 

The meat of the noodles is automatically pushed out.

 

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

 

“Bang!”

 

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

 

“Urp…”

 

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

 

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

“What happened?”

“You must be really sick.”

“Is he pregnant?”

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo is grateful: “Thank you.”

 

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

 

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

 

The viewers were very crazy:

“I just felt the taste of vomit.”

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

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

 

“…”

 

Go to hell, Dark Stars.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo asked, “Can I do it today?”

 

The professor nodded: “Of course you can.”

 

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

 

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

 

Su Liang was surprised: “So fast?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

There was a ‘en’ before she hung up. 

 

…

 

“Big brother!”

 

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

 

Please be obedient, little brother.

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

The temperature inside the car dropped by one degree.

 

Half a second later.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

How annoying.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…Yes.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo froze.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Chapter 27 – Tested Positive for Pregnancy

 

Jian Luo froze all over.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

This is what you egged me to say.

 

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

 

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

Little. What about your father?

 

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

 

The little emperor “pfft” and laughed again.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo pointed to himself: “Me?”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

You are so annoying.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Jian Luo.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

???

 

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

 

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

 

…

 

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

 

Why is it me again?

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng looked sideways: “You made it?”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

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

 

Little Emperor: ???

 

This is discrimination!

 

You are going too far!

 

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

 

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

 

Therefore,

 

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

 

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

 

It looked simple and unpretentious, but it tasted amazing!

 

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

 

“…”

 

Nie Yan smiled: “Of course.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo showed a lifeless expression.

 

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

 

There would soon be a stack of meat coming!

 

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

 

It was not enough.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

He was hateful.

 

Shouldn’t he be laughing at his short hands?

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng: “Really?”

 

Jian Luo nodded hurriedly.

 

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

 

???

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Meat……

 

Meat!

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng finally turned to look again.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

The little emperor was silent.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

He frowned suddenly, swallowing down the discomfort.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced: “What?”

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

Jian Luo nodded firmly: “Yes.”

 

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

 

Kazuki brought the fruit after dinner from behind.

 

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

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up.

 

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

 

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

 

This year was different.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo continued to stare at the holy dragon fruit.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

There was silence at the dinner table.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng handed the fruit to him.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The little emperor nodded in understanding.

 

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

 

The emperor was about to return.

 

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

 

Jian Luo waited for a long time without leaving.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

You’re still asking why?

 

Why don’t you think of why yourself?

 

I don’t even want to talk about it.

 

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

 

Lu Shifeng: “Tell the truth.”

 

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

 

The atmosphere suddenly fell into one of embarrassment.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“…”

 

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

 

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

 

???

 

Jian Luo looked up in disbelief.

 

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

 

Jian Luo was dumbfounded.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Kazuki liked his temperament very much.

 

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

 

When he got back, it was already dark.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo understood this very well.

 

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

 

His younger brother laughed.

 

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

 

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

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you, mom.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

“Anchor, I miss you to death.”

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

“Hahaha, what are we eating today?”

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

 

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

 

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

 

The audience was clearly interested:

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

He adjusted the direction of the small ball while talking.

 

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

 

The audience was completely blinded by this golden light.

 

This sparked some dissatisfaction:

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

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

“So cute, I like it.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

【Ready, set, aim!】

【Ready, set, aim!】

【Ready, set, aim!】

 

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

 

A barrage of the chat wailed:

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

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

“Hahaha, my God.”

 

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

 

The audience is puzzled:

“Fish is not tasty.”

“The bones are prickly and it tastes fishy.”

“Yes, I don’t like to eat it either.”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The audience was shocked stupid.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The audience was dumbfounded again:

“Is the host okay?”

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

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

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

Chapter 26 – Full of Dragon Scent

 

The room fell into silence.

 

Su Liang and his younger brother glanced at each other. It was obvious that their eyes and thoughts were slowly changing. Su Liang was able to calm down after a while and was able to realise something: “Luoluo, you haven’t eaten it before. How do you know it’s delicious??”

 

Jian Luo simply said, “I have eaten it!”

 

“…”

 

Su Liang suppressed her curiosity. After all, his son was never involved with any Dark Stars before. He might just have a unique palate.

 

His little brother who was still young innocently asked: “Brother, are you really going to work at  Moonlight?”

 

Jian Luo calculated the balance of his account: “Let’s go. I will take you to school to deal with your transfer before going to work.”

 

Previously due to various things, the transfer money and procedures were not in place, so this time Jian Luo decided to settle things once and for all before he went to work at Moonlight.

 

Su Liang got up: “Luoluo, do you want mother to accompany you?”

 

Jian Luo shook his head: “No. I’ll go and take a look myself.”

 

“That’s fine.” Su Liang didn’t force it, but Jian Luo said, “If you encounter any difficulties, you should inform your family.”

 

Jian Luo responded: “I know.”

 

He was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was about to doze off when he was shaken by his younger brother: “It should be time for big brother to eat now.”

 

Jian Luo got up in a daze: “Okay.”

 

As Su Liang brought out the food, she said, “I thought you were already tire enough. Why do you look more tired these past two days?”

 

Could she expect Jian Luo not to be tired?

 

Lu Shifeng was a beast who can mess someone up so much, who wouldn’t be tired?

 

He shook his head: “It’s okay, nothing major. Maybe I was too busy and worked too hard some time ago.”

 

Su Liang felt a little pained: “If you’re too tired to work, get more rest. We have enough money at home. When I quit my job last time, the base gave me 50,000 Star Dollars yuan severance pay.”

 

They would never pay off ordinary people this much, but Su Liang’s situation was slightly different. 

 

Because Lu Shifeng was there, they were really afraid of Su Liang’s son, Jian Luo’s involvement with him, so Su Liang was given twice the severance pay by the base.

 

Jian Luo rubbed his eyebrows: “It’s nothing major, don’t worry about it. I’ll rest more.”

 

Su Liang then nodded.

 

The next day.

 

Today, Jian Luo took his younger brother to carry out the transfer procedures.

 

The weather in Dark Star is relatively hot all year round. From Peace Paradise, one needs to take a car to the city and because there were only two cars a day, he had to get up early.

 

The younger brother took two potato cakes and gave one of them to him: “Brother, this one’s for you.”

 

Jian Luo took it: “Thank you.”

 

They are going to the Phelps Academy, a very famous private academy in Dark Star. They mentioned that they accepted humans, but they didn’t actually accept them and there was no other reason for this other than because only a few humans could afford the high tuition fees.

 

Jian Luo stood at the school gate and said to the security guard at the gate, “Please let us in.”

 

The security guard asked him: “Do you have a pass?”

 

“Yes,” Jian Luo’s information bracelet recalled a message: “I made an appointment online some time ago.”

 

The reservation certificate for the pass required much verification.

 

If one’s Star Dollars do not meet the amount required for the tuition fee, the pass will not be released. Only with this certificate could one obtain the chance to enroll here.

 

The security guard glanced at it, and then nodded: “Okay, come in.”

 

Jian Luo dropped a thank you.

 

As a private aristocratic college, the ones who are able to survive in Phelps College are also something else, so the quality of their students are generally high.

 

“Knock knock.”

 

Jian Luo rapped on the door of the office.

 

A male voice came from inside: “Are the student and parent applying for a transfer today?”

 

His younger brother gently opened the door.

 

Jian Luo led him inside politely: “Hello professor, we’re here to work out the transfer.”

 

“Okay.” The man stood up and pointed to the table in front: “Please fill out the form first and take the student to a temporary exam later. If there is no problem with the results, you can go through with the formalities.”

 

Jian Luo sat down on the chair and took the form: “Okay, thank you professor.”

 

He stretched out his hand to take the order, and when the professor handed it to him, his eyes flickered subtly on Jian Luo’s slender and fair fingers.

 

Jian Luo found that he couldn’t pull the paper, so he looked up curiously: “Professor?”

 

“Huh?” The professor was stunned and quickly let go: “Oh, uh. Fill out the form.”

 

Jian Luo thought this professor was weird, but he didn’t ask any further questions. He took the form and started filling it out. The professor next to him explained the rules and regulations to his younger brother.

 

After that.

 

Jian Sheng said, “Alright professor. I remember it all.”

 

“En.” The professor took another meaningful look at Jian Luo who was at the desk filling out the form: “Mr. Jian, what kind of work do you usually do?”

 

Jian Luo filled out the form and said, “Oh, I mainly work as a chef.”

The professor nodded: “That’s pretty good. Where does Mr. Jian work? If I have time, I’ll go and support you.”

 

Jian Luo was wisely reserved: “You’re flattering me too much. It’s just a small restaurant and not worth mentioning.”

 

The professor smiled and didn’t ask any further questions.

 

The form was filled in quite quickly. Jian Luo quickly completed the form in his hands and had nothing to do.

 

Next, Jian Sheng was going to take the quiz. He was walking around outside when he just passed a corner and heard a group of students gossiping:

 

“Have you heard that the sacred tree of Dragon Valley has come to bear fruit?”

“I know, I already knew.”

“Which adult do you think had a cub?”

“My God, we haven’t had cubs in many years. I’ve forgotten what a cub looks like.”

“Wuwuwu, who was so lucky to have a cub?”

“They’re the hope of this planet.”

 

Jian Luo listened with relish, but he was actually quite curious. How easy it would be for the person. All they would have to do was just have a baby and they would become a global hope, and become a major contributor to society. It made one annoyed thinking about it. He was a conscientious and diligent chef, toiling away to work. But some people are really different. They can do just the bare minimum and be done.

 

“Mr. Jian Luo.”

 

Someone called him.

 

Jian Luo put away his sour thoughts and turned around. Seeing the professor just now, he asked with a very good attitude: “Professor, what’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

 

The professor smiled: “Mr. Jian, it’s like this. I want to talk to you about your brother.”

 

Jian Luo said quickly, “Yes, yes.”

 

“Well.” The professor took him to the pavilion nearby and sat down: “Our school is divided into two. One for boarding students and one for day students, you know that.”

 

Jian Luo said, “I know.”

 

He has discussed with Su Liang to let his younger brother stay in the boarding house. It is too far from Peace Paradise, and the child will be tired every time he comes and goes, so he won’t be able to concentrate on studying.

 

The professor smiled strangely: “Then what do you think about there being more than one person in a single dormitory?”

 

Jian Luo fell silent for a moment.

 

Don’t tell me, he really hasn’t thought about it.

 

“This… it’s not good to say it, but it’s also for your brother’s sake. If you meet the requirements, he can live alone.” The professor said softly, “There are some Dark Stars’ children…”

 

Jian Luo said, “How much is it for a single dormitory?”

 

The professor honestly explained: “You need about ten thousand Star Dollars each month. It is fully equipped and there is a special person managing it. You don’t have to worry about the conditions.”

 

Ten thousand.

 

The cost is too much.

 

Jian Luo was slightly sullen, but when he thought of the faces of those Dark Stars, he hesitated again. Many children’s inferiority complexes and personalities came from the pressure of their classmates. He didn’t want his younger brother to feel bad due to his family and race. He had low self-esteem and did not want him to be discriminated against due to his financial situation, or even be looked down upon by others.

 

If he could, he only hoped that Jian Sheng could live the life of a normal child.

 

After thinking about it, Jian Luo decided: “Professor, let’s get the single room.”

 

The professor smiled: “Okay, I will go through with the formalities later. It’ll be no problem and you can enroll as soon as possible.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay.”

 

He then went through various procedures to pay, and the Star Dollars in his star card disappeared like water.

 

The professor seemed casual: “Does your family rely on you to make money alone?”

 

Jian Luo raised his head slightly in surprise.

 

“I’m sorry.” The professor smiled: “I saw that your identification card mentionned a single parent, so I had this thought.”

 

Jian Luo had nothing to hide: “Well, almost.”

 

Whatever else the professor wanted to say, Jian Luo was too lazy to listen. He always felt that the professor was indecent, so he stood up: “The formalities are over, I’ll take my leave.”

 

The professor was stunned for a moment before he stood up to see him off.

 

Jian Luo bowed and saluted, then packed up and walked out. He then led his younger brother home to pack up and prepare for school.

 

It wasn’t long before he left when the professor quickly opened the Jinjiang Live Broadcasting Network, and took out the saved live video of Jian Luo and looked at it, especially zooming in on the place where his hands were exposed.

 

“That’s right.” The professor pushed his glasses: “It really is him.”

 

The next day.

 

Jian Luo got up early.

 

Today, he is going to join Moonlight. Su Liang got up earlier than him: “Luoluo, mother has stewed porridge. We can drink it together.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay!”

 

He has always cooked for his mother, but now that the family’s economic conditions are much better, Su Liang learned quickly. Sometimes, she also thinks about cooking on her own. Of course, when she is free, she prefers to do arts and crafts.

 

Jian Luo pondered sometimes that since Su Liang was free at home, why not start a live broadcast for her?

 

Moreover, Su Liang is very good-looking and has the look of an oriental beauty. If she takes good care of it, she will be a good-looking anchor!

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo took the initiative to propose: “Mom, when I go out to work, you can also use the live broadcast equipment.”

 

Su Liang was taken aback: “What?”

 

“You can also broadcast live.” Jian Luo thought about it more and more: “You are usually at home but don’t you like embroidery very much? Although it is all ancient earth stuff, I think it is very beautiful, you should use it to spread the word.”

 

Su Liang shook her head: “I only do embroidery for fun.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “Then let’s broadcast and play around with it. Since the live broadcast equipment is here anyway, you can also broadcast live in Jinjiang. Jiangjiang is now preparing to open a section other than for food. You’re very suited for it.”

 

Su Liang was a little moved, but she couldn’t help feeling inferior: “I’m an old woman, no one wants to see me.”

 

Jian Luo raised his voice: “Oh, Mom, no one will care about how you look. Your own son is so ugly that he can’t meet anyone!”

 

Su Liang beat him angrily: “Nonsense.”

 

Although Jian Luo was only suggesting, Su Liang listened to it. In fact, she quit her job and wanted to find a new job. Unfortunately, there were too many restrictions on human beings even if she worked diligently.

 

It was too hard to proceed.

 

There is still the second child at home who is studying, which requires a lot of money. How can the family rely on Jian Luo, who has only recently grown up, to make money and support the family?

 

Thinking of this, Su Liang said, “Luoluo, can mom live stream before you go to work?”

 

Jian Luo was very cheerful: “Yes!”

 

He was very happy.

 

In fact, he didn’t expect his mother to make money. He only hoped that his own mother could find a job to do and work hard in her own small business so she had somewhere to expend her energy while also being able to live better.

 

…

 

“Welcome to Moonlight!”

 

When Jian Luo came, the greeter at the gate surprised him.

 

Kazuki came down from the floor above: “Luoluo, you’ve arrived?”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “I’m here to go through the recruitment procedure. I saw your notice written today.”

 

Kazuki smiled: “It’s a really good time to arrive. There’s a commotion ahead, I’ll show you over there.”

 

“…”

 

He clearly came at an untimely time.

 

Moonlight’s head chef is surnamed Ji. Ji Huaixi was standing in the kitchen with a look of anger and the chefs in front of him bowed their heads as they were lectured.

 

When Jian Luo came over, there was a dark athmosphere in the kitchen.

 

Kazuki whispered in his ear: “There will be more distinguished guests arriving soon. The boss’s big customer specially ordered tofu, but the person who was making the tofu made a mistake last night. The tofu was placed in a cool and ventilated place so white mold grew all over it, rendering it inedible.”

 

Jian Luo nodded in understanding.

 

Ji Huaixi stood in front with his hands behind his back and said harshly: “The boss’ client this time is very important, yet such an accident can occur in our establishment. I don’t think you want to work here anymore!”

 

A chef knelt down with a “crash”: “Professor, professor. It’s all my fault. I thought it would be okay. I thought it was okay to leave it overnight!”

 

The atmosphere in the kitchen was dark.

 

The manager from the front came over: “Mr. Ji, the boss just sent a letter to inform you that he will be here in the afternoon. How are you doing here?”

 

Ji Huaixi’s face was not very good: “Something went wrong.”

 

“Yikes.” The manager didn’t know what to say: “Mr. Ji, you have to solve it quickly. I heard that the boss’s guests are quite picky. If something were to go wrong, you know the boss’s temper…”

 

Ji Huaixi said in a deep voice, “I know. You should go back first.”

 

The manager then left after a long sigh.

 

As soon as he left, the dark atmosphere in the room returned and no one else dared to speak.

 

After all, tofu took a long time to make and no one apart from the chefs in Moonlight is known to have researched the method to make tofu.

 

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.

 

Suddenly.

 

Jian Luo took two steps forward: “How about you let me try?”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, almost instantly, everyone’s eyes fell on Jian Luo, and the emotion in their stares changed.

 

They were filled with disdain for this human being.

 

Ji Huaixi turned around and said in a deep voice, “You’re the new recruit, Jian Luo?”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

“You said you just arrived.” Ji Huaixi looked down at him condescendingly: “Young people shouldn’t be too arrogant or talk too much.”

 

Someone next to him whispered:

“‌‌What else can you do if it’s spoiled?”

“Humans are so arrogant.”

“You don’t have to be so eager to snatch up the chance to be in the limelight.”

 

Jian Luo listened to them quietly and said in a low voice, “I said I will try it but I didn’t say it will work. Why are you all so agitated?”

 

The room fell silent for a while. No one thought that this human being could be so rude.

 

Ji Huaixi narrowed his eyes: “Can you really do it?”

 

“Yeah.” Jian Luo nodded, because he had to be respectful towards his master: “But I can’t make normal tofu. I can try making stinky tofu.”

 

Everyone looked at each other.

 

Jian Luo rolled up his sleeves: “Did the client specify what kind of tofu they wanted to eat?”

 

Ji Huaixi shook his head slowly: “Usually we serve boiled tofu, but now it’s too late.”

 

“Yeah.” Jian Luo tapped his chin: “You guys should continue to make a new batch of tofu. I’ll see if I can make stinky tofu first. If it works, it will be good, if it doesn’t work…”

 

Someone hummed as they took his words for its face value:

“Stinky tofu? Never heard of it.”

“I don’t think it’s likely to succeed.”

“Don’t let humans fool master.”

 

Ji Huaixi squinted and finally said, “Yes, I’ll let you try it.”

 

Jian Luo smiled slightly.

 

“But.” Ji Huaixi looked up: “If you fail today, all your salary will be deducted.”

 

You are going too far!

 

Jian Luo just wanted to help out, but he didn’t think that doing so would result in his salary being deducted if he failed: “Then, can I not try so my money doesn’t get deducted?”

 

Kazuki almost laughed out loud beside him.

 

She thinks that Jian Luo is really interesting. Sometimes she thinks that he is really amazing, but other times he is very cowardly.

 

Ji Huaixi said in a low voice, “No.”

 

Jian Luo withered, so he could only scratch her head: “Okay, then I’ll try.”

 

Making stinky tofu is a big project. When he was still on Earth, he had made some before in his free time. He walked over and looked at the tofu. It was moldy in the drawer, and there were white fungus which was a little dark like yeast. This was very good. If there are no mishaps, the stinky tofu should be very fragrant.

 

Jian Luo Tofu smiled: “It’s all good.”

 

Other people:”……”

 

I’m afraid you are mentally ill.

 

In order to carry out the big project that is making stinky tofu, Kazuki was sent to help Jian Luo. 

 

She asked, “What are we going to do?”

 

Jian Luo said: “This has been fermented. After a simple procedure, it can be fried.”

 

Kazuki thinks it’s amazing: “Is it really edible? It’s all hairy and it seems so stinky. Don’t be too confident about it.”

 

“It can be eaten.” Jian Luo removed the tofu from the clip: “This belongs to natural leaven, it’s pretty good and saves trouble.”

 

Kazuki smiled: “How do you know so much?”

 

Jian Luo went silent for a while. Logically speaking, it seems that his human condition does not allow him to develop many talents. In the blink of an eye, he thought of an excuse: “I watch live broadcasts a lot and some anchors have tried it.”

 

Kazuki blinked: “Really?”

 

“What is the point of me lying?” Jian Luo put the tofu on the shelf: “Is there any oil?”

 

Kazuki said yes. Since Jian Luo’s potatoes and popcorn have become popular, guests who come to the hotel will order them. Their chefs have tried making them, but no matter what they did, they simply couldn’t make it like Jian Luo.

 

In Ji Huaixi’s words: “Things are about to get interesting.”

 

While Jian Luo was waiting for the oil to heat up, many busy cooks around him would look at him from time to time, casting curious glances.

 

Kazuki said, “The oil is hot.”

 

“Ok.”

 

Jian Luo used a long spoon to place the stinky tofu in and fry it in the oil. After a while, the white tofu with mycelium was soaked in an oily golden light, making a sizzling sound.

 

Kazuki beside him said: “It’s so hot.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Stay far away, in case the oil spills out and burns you.”

 

Kazuki took two steps back.

 

Jian Luo placed down all the tofu, which has subverted the traditional way of preparing tofu. Kazuki was a little suspicious and the others couldn’t believe it.

 

A little chef approached Ji Huaixi: “Master.”

 

Ji Huaixi was cooking a luxurious barbecue and answered without looking back, “Yeah.”

 

“That Jian Luo is really arrogant.” The little chef said softly: “He’s nothing. He only came here due to nepotism, unlike us who are actually talented with a background. These kinds of people can’t be tolerated.”

 

Ji Huaixi said in a low voice, “Whether it’ll work? Let’s wait until he makes it.”

 

The little chef was not convinced: “Master, the tofu is spoiled. How could it be done? Do you want him to fool you?”

 

He knew that Ji Huaixi hated those who relied on relationship to get to where they were.

 

Especially someone like Jian Luo who had no real background and was arrogant. 

 

Ji Huaixi hadn’t spoken yet, when Kazuki softly shouted: “I’m going. It smells so bad!”

 

Jian Luo said softly, “Stay away, it’s hot here.”

 

Almost instantly, all the cooks looked over. Although no one came over, everyone in the kitchen was actually paying attention.

 

The tofu in the pot has gradually been fried and had a rancid smell which made many chefs cover their mouths and noses.

 

“This is for the guests to eat?”

“Can this be eaten by the guests?”

“God, it’s better to dispose of it.”

 

There was a lot of discussion and even the calm and collected Ji Huaixi came over: “What’s going on?”

 

Jian Luo put down the spoon in his hand, and he said, “I’m frying stinky tofu and it’s not ready yet. Please wait a moment.”

 

Ji Huaixi finally asked what everyone wanted to ask: “Are you sure this is edible?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I’m sure.”

 

“Very well.” Ji Huaixi nodded, but did not continue to question him: “The news came just now that the guests arrived sooner than expected so be prepared.”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

Kazuki whispered beside him, “Luoluo, you must be successful.”

 

Jian Luo firmly said: “I’ll try my best.”

 

Since there will be a distinguished guest arriving soon, the whole kitchen was very busy. Naturally, this meant that Jian Luo had no time to spare. Since he said he wanted to try it, he in fact meant that there was a 100% success rate.

 

Soon, the color of the tofu has gradually come together. At this time, the stench has also wafted out.

 

The manager smelled the stench and came over: “Oh, are you frying something here? What is that smell?”

 

The other cooks all looked at Jian Luo at the same time.

 

The manager took a few steps and walked over: “What are you cooking? Is it for the guests?”

 

Kazuki hurriedly stepped forward: “Manager, the new dish we developed is fine. If it’s edible, you can serve it.”

 

“Serve it?” The manager was particularly bossy at the moment: “Don’t make any mistakes. Today, a distinguished guest is coming over. The boss told me not to be careless.”

 

The level of distinguished guests was repeatedly stressed, highlightin the impostance of their status.

 

Ji Huaixi came over: “Are you a chef?”

 

The manager was taken aback: “No.”

 

“Then you take care of your own affairs.” Ji Huaixi said in a low voice, “I will handle my people.”

 

The manager was stunned and choked: “Then hurry up.”

 

In Moonlight, there were open and under-the-table fights. The chef faction had a very high status. This was especially true of chefs like Ji Huaixi, but the managers and the others who serve the other faction are naturally not to be outdone. They are also high-paid white-collar workers, and can’t be compared to other general managers. They came by to stir some trouble from time to time.

 

Ji Huaixi said in a low voice, “No.”

 

The manager turned angrily and left.

 

Kazuki stood next to Ji Huaixi, a little worried: “Master…”

 

Ji Huaixi turned around indifferently and the busy people in the kitchen asked, “What are you going to do?”

 

The crowd dispersed.

 

After a while, Jian Luo’s stinky tofu was finally completed. He took a piece out of the pot and blew it gently.

 

Kazuki was very eager next to him: “Can you really eat it?”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It shouldn’t fail.”

 

“I look forward to it.”

 

Kazuki waited eagerly to eat the stinky tofu.

 

The other chefs also cast their gazes overtly and secretly, good or bad, whatever their intentions were.

 

Finally…

 

Jian Luo first tasted it by himself. He chewed it, tasted it and sprinkled it with another layer of salt from the shelves.

 

Waiting for a while after tasting it, he then took another bite.

 

Kazuki was full of anticipation: “Can I eat it?”

 

Jian Luo shook his head: “Give master a taste first.”

 

…

 

Ji Huaixi stood not far away and didn’t move. Jian Luo personally walked over with a plate and chopsticks, speaking respectfully, “Try some.”

 

Ji Huaixi knew his sense of taste was good so he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. The stinky tofu smelled so stinky that he couldn’t stomach the smell but there was a very strong fragrance in his mouth. It also tasted soft and crunchy and there was a clear aroma of tofu, which was wonderful.

 

The whole kitchen was staring at Ji Huaixi.

 

They were all waiting for Ji Huaixi to get angry or to criticize Jian Luo.

 

But there was nothing.

 

Ji Huaixi put down his chopsticks calmly as his thin lips parted lightly: “Not bad.”’

 

A smile bloomed on Jian Luo’s face: “Thank you, master.”

 

“I’m their master, not yours.” Ji Huaixi said in a low voice, “Call me Mr. Ji.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay, Mr. Ji.”

 

Because there were still dishes that were not ready, Jian Luo simply went over to help. The Dark Stars were very advanced. Their kitchen was very large, and there was more than enough space to walk around. There was no smoke or oiliness in the air due to the adsorbents. The moment it wafts in the air, it will be absorbed cleanly.

 

It was not noisy and the kitchen was clean and comfortable.

 

Kazuki came over and asked, “Can I taste it? It smells so bad but I’m so curious.”

 

“I’ll make it for you later.” Jian Luo put the plate back: “Now these are all for the guests. Mr. Ji agreed to give them to the guests just now.”

 

Kazuki really admired Jian Luo.

 

The cooks who had been waiting to see the drama just now stopped talking. Especially the few who spoke before, and now they were more earnest.

 

Jian Luo asked: “What can I do here?”

 

Kazuki waved his hand: “In fact, you don’t need to cook here. The section you are in charge of is not ours here.”

 

“Then what am I responsible for?”

 

“I don’t know, the boss didn’t say it. He said before that he wanted you to stand by here.” Kazuki said honestly, “I’ll come to you when you’re needed.”

 

???

 

It was the same way when he was in the military.

 

This familiar work pattern was frightening.

 

Jian Luo swore that he wanted to find a normal job instead of being unemployed so this was something he set himself up for.

 

Jian Luo hesitated: “Do you know what your boss wants me to do?”

 

“I don’t know.” Kazuki answered honestly.

 

The two walked to the head of the kitchen. Suddenly, there was a bark and a large white dog jumped out. It was very big and aggressive. It looked like it wanted to pounce on Jian Luo.

 

Kazuki exclaimed: “Luoluo!”

 

Jian Luo also widened his eyes and couldn’t move in shock. Just when he thought it was going to calm down, the big white dog suddenly rumbled and turned his head to hide when he was about to meet Jian Luo, as if it met some kind of calamity or beast.

 

“Awoo awoo.”

 

The little white dog couldn’t wait for Jian Luo to leave quickly.

 

Kazuki was taken aback: “What wrong Xiaobai?”

 

Jian Luo was also quite frightened: “Is this your pet? Can you have pets in the kitchen?”

 

Kazuki quickly waved his hand to explain: “No, no, it’s not a pet. It’s a food inspection dog. If the food in the hotel is poisonous or has been altered by someone, Xiaobai will smell it. It’s here every day to keep the food safe.”

 

Jian Luo nodded lightly: “Then why is it hostile to me?”

 

Xiaobai seemed to be able to understand people’s words, and continued to whine, shrinking towards the door while looking at Jian Luo’s appearance as if it had encountered a ghost.

 

“I don’t think it thinks you’re hostile.” Kazuki explained to him: “Xiaobai is actually quite courageous. At that time, there was a tengu that the boss personally brought here. It was able to walk all over it. It’s not afraid of anyone and only listens to the boss.”

 

Jian Luo said, “Then what happened to it?”

 

Kazuki sighed: “I don’t think it seems to be hostile to you. It seems to be a little afraid of you.”

 

Jian Luo pointed to himself: “Afraid of me? What a joke. It’s a dog that even you are not afraid of. How could it be afraid of me, a human being?”

 

Kazuki also scratched her head in confusion: “Ah, that’s weird. This shouldn’t be. The little white of the Tengu clan are not afraid of people. The only thing they are afraid of is the dragon clan, which was their clan’s nemesis.”

 

Jian Luo said, “I’m not part of the dragon family.”

 

“Or do you have something from the dragon race?” Kazuki looked over. “Speaking of which, I also find it a little strange. I think your scent is a little different, but I can’t tell you what’s different about it.”

 

Xiaobai was in the corner wailing. If someone understood the words of the Tengu, then his words would probably mean:

(Dragon scent! His entire body is filled with the scent of the most terrifying dragon. Quickly leave, quickly leave! Awooo, I’m going to have nightmares tonight awoo.)

 

Jian Luo also found it strange to see Xiaobai like that so he had to explain: “I used to work in the military. Maybe I haven’t lost the Dragon Clan’s scent because I stayed with them.”

 

“…”

 

This explanation was too far-fetched.

 

Kazuki was a little puzzled: “Aren’t you a chef? Are you also responsible for feeding the dragons? And I heard that the military’s dragons are not allowed to be seen by ordinary people. Luoluo, you are really amazing!”

 

Jian Luo was also shocked stupid: “Iis it true that the Dragon Clan can’t be seen by everyone?”

 

“What do you think?” Kazuki scratched her head: “Dragon clan pretty much reject outsiders from entering the territory. When you were with the dragons, did you see anyone else beside you?”

 

…

 

Jian Luo seriously recalled, it seems that there was really no one else!

 

The other side.

As Nie Yan, the boss of Moonlight, sat in the car with a legendary VIP customer, his face was expressionless. If it was not because of the high status of the person next to him, he would not have served him long ago.

 

The little emperor was finally able to leave the palace and he was very excited. As he sat in the car, he kept shouting: “It’s too hard for me to come out even once. I’ve heard about the delicious food in Moonlight. I also heard that some kind of snack seems to be popular recently, but I don’t know where to eat them. Oh, I remember that Moonlight recently released a tofu soup. I must try it.”

 

Nie Yan continued to mention the perfunctory: “Your Majesty can relax. Everything you mentioned has already been arranged and prepared.”

 

The little emperor just let it go. He played with the box in his hand and asked again, “Uncle Huang was going to come and accompany me to dinner. When will he come?”

 

“Marshal has been busy these days.” Nie Yan dutifully continued to mention the perfunctory to him: “After contacting him, he said he would definitely come over to accompany His Majesty for dinner.”

 

The little emperor nodded.

 

Soon, they arrived at Moonlight. In order to welcome the legendary VIP, Moonlight was not open today. It was only available to serve the VIP guests. The red carpet was spread out over dozens of meters and the waiters welcomed them in the same tone: “Welcome to Moonlight.”

 

The little emperor was used to seeing big scenes and this kind of act was not awkward or unbearable so he hardly changed his expression along the way.

 

Nie Yan led him to the second floor to be seated down. This was where one could see the best view of Sky City. He said: “Your Majesty, wait a moment. I will have someone come over.”

 

The little emperor looked forward to it very much: “Okay.”

 

As soon as Nie Yan showed up, the manager hurried to the front and shouted, “It’s time to serve. The guests are here.”

 

The waiters passed by to bring all kinds of food, and the aroma of the food gradually filled the hall.

 

The little emperor looked around: “What about the new tofu that has been researched?”

 

Nie Yan looked at the manager.

 

The manager hurriedly said, “It’s here. The best dish.”

 

Kaizuki walked over with the plate. In order to prevent the smell from dissipating too early, he hid the appearance of the whole dish with a large silver lid, adding a bit of mystery.

 

The little emperor was very excited: “It looks really good, it must be fragrant.”

 

Kazuki showed an embarrassed but polite smile as he opened the lid. When the lid was slowly raised, a shocking stench spread out.

 

“…”

 

For a moment, the hall fell silent.

 

It’s also thanks to the little emperor’s cultivation that he didn’t flip the table immediately. For Nie Yan, it was because he didn’t want to lose his honor that he didn’t turn his face.

 

The little emperor was silent: “Is this something edible?”

 

Nie Yan’s voice was also a bit colder: “I informed that the distinguished guest would arrive in advance. Did you not take my words seriously?”

 

Kazuki knelt down in fright: “Don’t be angry, sir. This is indeed a bonafide dish. You might as well try and eat it first. If it doesn’t taste good, it won’t be too late to punish the one responsible.”

 

The little emperor and Nie Yan glanced at each other.

 

Nie Yan took the initiative: “I’ll try it.”

 

“No need.” Instead, the little emperor was a little interested: “I’ll do it. Since she said it was food, I’ll try it.”

 

The little emperor took a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He was just trying to hold it inside, but when the stinky tofu entered his mouth, his eyes lit up. There was nothing else, except that it was much too fragrant! As it entered one’s lips and teeth, it was smelly, but the moment you placed it into your mouth, it was fragrant and seemed to bring one into a wonderful place!

 

“Delicious!” The little emperor immediately made a choice: “Let your chefs come to see me.”

 

Kazuki was stunned: “You want to see him?”

 

The little emperor nodded: “Can’t you do that?”

 

Kazuki looked at Nie Yan. After all, he was her boss. She can’t make the decisions about this kind of thing.

 

Nie Yan lifted his eyelids and said softly, “Let him come over.”

 

Jieyue bowed and replied, “‌En.”

 

The girl told Jian Luo about this when she returned. She pulled Jian Luo: “Luo Luo, go over there later. You don’t have to worry about it. That young client with Nie Yan, the boss on the other side, wants to ask you some questions. If so, do you know what to say?”

 

Jian Luo was very calm: “I know. Don’t worry.”

 

He walked to the front and saw Nie Yan and the little emperor sitting down. At first glance, he was stunned.

 

The little emperor waved at him: “You’re the chef right? Come here.”

 

Jian Luo came over and asked, “Are you not satisfied with your food?”

 

“No, I’m very satisfied.” The little emperor raised his face reservedly: “I want to ask, how did you know that tofu can be prepared like this?

 

Jian Luo didn’t intend to take credit or stand out from the crowd, so he thought carefully and answered well: “It’s not my idea at all. It was just a mistake and everyone in the kitchen deserves the credit.”

 

The little emperor nodded: “So it’s like that.”

 

Jian Luo stood there plainly, waiting for him to continue asking questions.

 

The little emperor propped his chin and looked at Jian Luo for a while before said astonishingly: “What’s wrong with your neck?”

 

Jian Luo was silent for a moment.

 

He touched it himself and found that there was a very small wound there which was caused by Lu Shifeng’s scales and it has not fully healed yet.

 

The little emperor looked straight at it. The blood race was naturally extremely sensitive to other blood beyond one’s imagination. He wanted to know what kind of relationship the chef and his uncle had.

 

Jian Luo hesitantly said, “I accidentally got it.”

 

“Accidentally?” The little emperor was even more curious: “How did you get it? You seem to have been bitten.”

 

???

 

How did the kid notice it?

 

This obviously looked like an ordinary wound to anyone!

 

Jian Luo was now in a very big dilemma. He absolutely couldn’t say that he had an affair with Lu Shifeng, otherwise there would be no peace in his future.

 

But…

 

What better reason was there?

 

Nie Yan also raised his eyes and looked over. He didn’t expect the chef to be so ingenious, and asked in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you answer what the guest asked you?”

 

Jian Luo gritted his teeth. Thinking of Xiaobai in his heart, he simply said, “I was indeed bitten, but I was accidentally bitten by a dog.”

 

“…”

 

The room suddenly fell into silence.

 

Half a second later.

 

The little emperor burst out laughing, he giggled like he heard the joke of the century, and was about to slap the table.

 

Jian Luo looked at him speechlessly.

 

The little emperor laughed for a long time, wiped his tears and said to the person behind Jian Luo, “Uncle Huang, you’re just in time. What do you think?”

Chapter 25 – Only pregnant women eat this

 

After a long silence

 

Jiang Jiang suddenly rushed into the master bedroom, shoving an information bracelet into Jian Luo’s hands very hurriedly: “The marshal asked you to call him back. Hurry up and don’t delay!”

 

Jian Luo was stunned and he said, “But didn’t you say…”

 

“What’s the matter? It’s going to be too late soon!” Jiang Jiang was drenched in cold sweat: “Hurry up, Luoluo. In any case, the marshal will come for you if you don’t return anyway. Do you have the heart to watch your brother get into an unexplained accident? Will you have the heart to bear it?!”

 

“…”

 

You changed your mind too fast.

 

Jian Luo took the bracelet and really didn’t want to call Lu Shifeng. He really had nothing to say to that old dragon who wasn’t human. He felt that this was nothing for Lu Shifeng to be proud of! Obviously it was him who couldn’t be sorry enough!

 

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Jiang was about to cry: “Luoluo, you have to leave a way out for your brother. If the marshal pursues me, you may never see me again.”

 

Jian Luo sighed: “How long has it been since you hung up?”

 

Jiang Jiang nodded frantically: “Luoluo, it’s all up to you now.”

 

Jian Luo walked into the master bedroom, closed the door and tapped the dial button. The line connected almost immediately.

 

Lu Shifeng’s voice was calm and leisurely, but also magnetic: “Hello?”

 

Jian Luo originally thought that Jiang Jiang was too cowardly, but now that he was in his shoes… 

 

At the beginning, he was very angry, but now he was afraid in a matter of seconds: “Lu Shifeng? It’s me.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Well, have you finished taking a shower?”

 

“I’ve just washed up.” Jian Luo decided to make a quick decision: “Is there something wrong?”

 

He should hold steady.

 

As long as he is steady, he will not be afraid!

 

Lu Shifeng’s voice was a little cold: “Can you still move your body?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo gritted his teeth: “Thanks to you, it’s okay.”

 

“Well.” Lu Shifeng finally said, “I’ll ask Secretary Jin to pick you up.”

 

Jian Luo hurriedly replied, “No need!”

 

He was so stubborn and smooth, but finally the heated Lu Shifeng was a little unhappy. The man narrowed his eyes: “Why?”

 

It is rare for men to understand.

 

He has already hinted it so clearly, and Jian Luo doesn’t look stupid. Doesn’t he understand what he meant?

 

Jian Luo was surprised: “I have my own home to go back to. Moreover, I have already resigned from the military.”

 

Lu Shifeng frowned: “Why? Was our treatment towards you not good?”

 

“…”

 

It was not a question of being treated poorly.

 

This was……

 

Is it a matter of ethics?

 

Jian Luo simply couldn’t communicate with this man, he tried to reason a little: “Marshal, what happened last night, I think, um, since it happened, I’m not unvirtuous so you must be calling to take responsibility or compensate, but we’ll be fine. We’ve already gotten together, so now, let’s just break up. I know that you must’ve called me to discuss compensation or something, but you don’t have to, I can handle myself!”

 

There was an eerie silence on the other end of the phone.

 

After quite a while

 

Lu Shifeng said, “You don’t want to move out of Peace Paradise?”

 

There is no human who does not dream of leaving Peace Paradise, where it is crowded and cramped, the technology is backward, and life is inconvenient.

 

Jian Luo pursed his lips, and his brows furrowed: “Master Marshal, I am working for you by cooking. I sell meals, not myself. I don’t need to get anything through my body. I can understand that the accident happened because you had some physical discomfort or something. Let’s just leave it at that. Don’t contact me, I’m hanging up.”

 

The line was cut off

 

Jian Luo threw the phone aside.

 

Jiang Jiang next to him could be said to be stunned, he hesitated: “Luoluo, I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

 

Jian Luo was suspicious: “What?”

 

“Well, that, you probably don’t know this but.” Jiang Jiang explained to him: “The price of land on Dark Star is 500,000 per square meter. If you want to buy a three-bedroom house, you may need about seven or eight million. Plus, you are a human being, so you’re not qualified to buy a house yet.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo widened his eyes.

 

“But I heard what the marshal just said and he wanted to give you a house to reside in.” Jiang Jiang started his calculations: “The property under the marshal must be a large property right within the first ring of the palace, starting at 100 million credits.”

 

…

 

…

 

Jian Luo trembled as he searched it up using the information bracelet, his eyes were red with anger: “Why didn’t you say this earlier?”

 

Jiang Jiang felt very wronged: “You didn’t give me a chance, plus you were so firm, I thought you wouldn’t have cared.”

 

I do care!

 

The f-ck?! He’s already ridden him. If he knew there would be this much money, he’d definitely gotten some as compensation!

 

Jian Luo’s expression looked like he was in deep thought. He was now regretting it. Incomparably regretful and full of regret. It was as though he had just lost a hundred million!

 

Jiang Jiang comforted him: “Forget it, maybe there is no such fate in life.”

 

Jian Luo laid down blankly on the sofa.

 

Jiang Jiang saw that he was so uncomfortable and offered a suggestion: “Okay, just take a break and watch TV. I just have some newly imported fruits in my refrigerator. I’ll give you a taste. Most of them are alien, but some are from the Spirit Valley.”

 

Jian Luo was interested: “Really? Thank you.”

 

Jiang Jiang said you’re welcome: “Although you are my employee, you are also my good brother, so let’s not be so polite.”

 

Jian Luo smiled slightly.

 

After a while, Jiang Jiang brought the fruit. Among them, there was a soft and sweet fruit that looked like cotton candy. Jian Luo took a bite: “Well, it’s a little sour.”

 

Jiang Jiang smiled: “This is abundant in the Dark Star’s Dragon Valley, where every year during this season, the dragon tree will grow a lot of this holy dragon fruit.”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while: “Why this season?”

 

“Because this season is the estrus period of the dragon clan. If a female is pregnant, she will like to eat the holy dragon fruit very much. It is also because the little dragon needs the nutrition provided by the dragon clan’s mother tree.” Jiang Jiang explained to him: “Some people in the Dark Star are orcs who can also transform into human beings, while others are just monoracial like me.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know much about the world: “It turns out that not everyone can transform into an animal.”

 

Jiang Jiang was shocked by his ignorance: “Of course not. The status of the orcs are very high. For example, the military boss is a dragon, the high priest is a phoenix and the richest man in our country is Pixiu¹A legendary winged lion in Chinese folklore., while the royal family has all their blood.”

 

Jian Luo held the holy dragon fruit as he ate it: “Those Dark Stars are really powerful.”

 

“In the past, the holy dragon fruit was in short supply, so only pregnant women could eat it.” Jiang Jiang took one for himself: “But now, we have not had any cubs for thousands of years so the holy dragon fruit is no longer in short supply. “

 

Jian Luo nodded understandingly.

 

There were only two holy dragon fruits on the table and they were gone now. Jian Luo thought it was delicious: “They should be cheap, right?”

 

Jiang Jiang smiled: “I don’t know what’s going on but originally, the sacred dragon fruit tree has not blossomed much since we had no cubs, but last night, a large area of ​​the sacred dragon fruit forest suddenly bloomed. Because many fruits came out, it now also easy to buy.”

 

Jian Luo asked, “How much is it?”

 

“Five thousand for one.” Jiang Jiang pushed his glasses up: “Do you think it’s delicious? I think it’s alright. Maybe our personal tastes are different. If you want to eat it, you can go to the official website to buy it.”

 

“…”

 

Five thousand?

 

Why don’t you just go rob someone for money?

 

Jian Luo waved his hand: “Forget it, forget it. I won’t eat it.”

 

In fact, he was quite tired and couldn’t eat anything. Now, he was even more lazy and couldn’t even move a finger.

 

After eating, he went straight to the master bedroom to rest.

 

…

 

The next day

 

Jian Luo returned to his house in Peace Paradise. Before, he was annoyed and too tired so he forgot to call home. Who knew that Su Liang said: “Secretary Jin called me and said that you had work to do so you won’t be back in the next two days.”

 

Jian Luo was very grateful to Secretary Jin.

 

In fact, the military is pretty good, except for Lu Shifeng who eats people.

 

“Jian Luo!”

 

A voice called to him came from the yard.

 

Jian Luo came out of the house: “Mom, what’s the matter?”

 

Su Liang turned around, still holding a letter in her hand. She said to Jian Luo, “This seems to be Moonlight’s admission letter. It probably means that you seem to have passed their vocational assessment and can officially start working at Moonlight.”

 

Jian Luo was overjoyed: “Really!?”

 

Su Liang smiled and nodded: “I’m not wrong.”

 

“Great.” Jian Luo came over and took the letter: “Did they say how much the monthly salary is?”

 

“…”

 

Su Liang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Mom hasn’t read it yet.”

 

Jian Luo went back with the letter by himself. Since he resigned from the military, he has been idle. Lu Shifeng has never looked for him again, and he was too busy taking care of himself and had too much free time.

 

Sitting on the sofa, he read up on Moonlight’s salary. It was 100,000 a month, which was not bad. Jian Luo was also very satisfied. The key point is that the last of the letter reads:

[The qualification for becoming a cultivator has been submitted for review]

 

A smile spread across Jian Luo’s face. This meant that he may soon have the right to grow vegetables and fruits on his own!

 

Outside

 

His younger brother and Su Liang were sitting on the sofa outside, watching the news on TV.

 

The Dark Star Channel was reporting: 【The production of holy dragon fruit in Dragon Valley has increased, so the marketing department has decided to open the purchase of holy dragon fruit after research. The high priest has also predicted that this year may break the Dark Star’s thousand-year-old curse of having no cubs. The blossoming of the dragon fruit tree is the best sign for.. 】

 

His younger brother was very puzzled: “Mom, is the holy dragon fruit so delicious?”

 

“It seems that only people who are pregnant with cubs will find it delicious.” Su Liang also heard people say: “Most people don’t like its taste very much. Overlooking the Dark Star’s birth rate, because Dark Star people have not had children, when they are not pregnant, most will feel that it is sour and unbearable, after eating the holy dragon fruit. As such, it is basically not usually eaten unless it’s for those ladies with cubs to enjoy. We, the local people basically can’t eat it, but there is no chance that anyone would want to eat that stuff, as it is expensive and unpalatable.”

 

The younger brother nodded in understanding.

 

Just after nodding, Jian Luo in the room pushed open the door and walked out: “Mom, I just bought two boxes of holy dragon fruit online. Did you receive the bill?”

 

“…”

 

The room suddenly fell silent

Dun dun dun… Read to find out more!!! I love, love, love the story, and I’m sure you will too if you love this one 😀

The MLs in both this and that story have that cold, aloof persona going for them. It’s really hot, if that’s your cup of tea!!!

Chapter 24 – I’m never coming back again in the future!

 

Inexplicably, his voice fell. Jiang Jiang actually felt a cold, murderous aura on the other end of the phone. It was very strong and terrifying.

 

After quite a while

 

Lu Shifeng said, “When he comes out, let him call me back.”

 

The tone of this command made Jiang Jiang wake up!

 

After hearing this, he couldn’t be Luoluo’s family. How can a family member not ask for their family’s safety and ask where they were, before asking them to call back?

 

Damn, he was 80% sure that he was the one who forced Luoluo!

 

Although Luoluo said it was not forced, even he understood!

 

Jiang Jiang covered his mouth to prevent his shock from leaking out. He was really deeply angry. He didn’t expect it to be like this. This scum still refused to let Luoluo go, and even chased after him. His behavior was outrageous. It’s abominable!

 

Lu Shifeng waited for a while, a little impatient: “Did you hear me?”

 

The fire in Jiang Jiang’s chest came up all of a sudden and he spewed: “Don’t even think about it! You are really crazy. You still want to see him?! I tell you, it is impossible in this life. Are you not worthy of understanding?”

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

 

Lu Shifeng’s voice was indifferent: “Is that what he asked you to convey to me?”

 

“Yes!” Jiang Jiang decided to educate the scumbag: “Don’t ignore the king’s laws. Our Dark Star’s military is not useless. If you dare to come again, I will contact the military immediately and never let you go!”

 

Jiang Jiang hung up the phone in a snap.

 

At the same time, Jian Luo, who was washing up in the bathroom, encountered a hasty problem. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bathe properly. It was mainly because he was so uncomfortable that he didn’t want to move at all.

He leaned on the wall, but it wasn’t even two steps before his legs went weak. He fell forward and fell down next to the glass coffee table. In an instant, a huge pain came and his world went so dark that he almost fainted.

 

“Ow……”

 

Jian Luo bit his lip, and when he was about to slowly stand up again when Jiang Jiang from the room rushed out: “Luoluo?!”

 

Jiang Jiang stepped forward quickly and helped Jian Luo up: “Are you alright?”

 

Jian Luo felt like he was a piece of soft mud now, he gasped lightly: “It’s nothing major, don’t worry.”

 

Jiang Jiang helped him and let him sit on the sofa: “What do you mean don’t you worry about it? Your leg seems to be bleeding.”

 

“What?” Jian Luo lay on the sofa like a dead dog: “My whole body hurts, whether it’s my legs or not, I don’t feel anything anymore.”

 

Jiang Jiang brought the medicine box over.

 

Most of the strong Dark Stars don’t use this thing, so Jiang Jiang family’s medicine box seemed to have been collecting dust.

 

The medicine box didn’t expect to be able to see the world again due to Jian Luo’s unexpected arrival.

 

Jian Luo said, “I’ll do it myself.”

 

“No, no.” Jiang Jiang dipped some ointment: “You are so pitiful as a human being, so I should help you.”

 

Jian Luo pursed his lips and smiled, pale and weak.

 

The taste of depending on others is really uncomfortable, and it is even more so when you are weak.

 

The process of applying the medicine was actually not slow. He was injured on the back of his calf. After rubbing his waist, he was basically fine. Compared to the most serious body ache, it was nothing.

 

Jiang Jiang said, “Okay.”

Jian Luo was serious and sincere: “Thank you. By the way, did you answer the phone for me just now? How is it? What did my mother say?”

 

It was okay when he didn’t mention it, but after talking about it, Jiang Jiang was indignant: “Don’t mention it. It was not your mother’s call.”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, but he was also stunned stupid: “Who else could it be?”

 

“A man.” Jiang Jiang proudly raised his chest: “I came up with a very obliging tone, but it made me angry. You don’t have to worry about it Luoluo, I have already fought back for you and told him not to come again. After that call, you don’t have to be afraid, if he dares to come to you, we will report it to the military!”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo was silent for a moment.

 

Seeing him like this, Jiang Jiang was a little clueless: “What’s wrong?”

 

“Um…” Jian Luo still wanted to have the last glimmer of hope, his eyes were round, it was like staring into a puddle of water: “Um, Jiang Jiang, did the man you speak to sound a little cold, and maybe, did you feel that there was something not quite right?”

 

Jiang Jiang’s eyes widened: “Yes, yes, that was him.”

 

…

 

The room suddenly fell into silence.

 

Jian Luo covered his face, and now he has no love for life anymore. In his heart, he wanted to use his information bracelet to Baidu¹China’s version of google. if Lu Shifeng’s temperament could be magnanimous, yet he also felt good that Jiang Jiang scolded him. The inner-conflict was too grueling.

 

Jiang Jiang looked at his face for a while and then turned pale: “Luoluo, what’s wrong with you?”

 

Jian Luo’s chest heaved up and down. When he finally calmed down and thought about it, maybe things weren’t so irreversible, so he said, “You didn’t say too much, right?”

 

Jiang Jiang snorted softly: “Of course not.”

 

Jian Luo let out a sigh of relief.

 

“I just told him that next time he dares to come to you, I won’t let him walk away!”

 

Jiang Jiang’s face was full of pride, which can be said to be very cool.

 

Jian Luo was silent again. He stood up tremblingly and held Jiang Jiang’s hand in pain: “Jiang Jiang, I want to know. The military should not have the right to kill people casually, right?”

 

Jiang Jiang thought he was afraid that the man would dare to pester him.

 

So he comforted Jian Luo: “Don’t worry, the military has the right to kill first and then pay later. Don’t be afraid of everything. It’s not like they can commit crimes just because they are a Dark Star.”

 

“…”

 

Thanks for the comforting words

 

Now, I am even more afraid.

 

Jian Luo was a little desperate, he choked: “Jiang Jiang, I really respect you as a man, really.”

 

Jiang Jiang said: “Don’t be afraid, Luoluo. No matter what happens, I’m your boss and your friend. I won’t abandon you and will always stand by your side.”

 

Jian Luo was very moved: “I am so moved. I didn’t know you were so loyal before. Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard on the live broadcast network and strive to carry forward our website!”

 

Jiang Jiang was a little flustered, inexplicably: “To promote it… but wasn’t that originally intended to be done?”

 

“Yeah.” Jian Luo let go of his hand and continued to lie down: “When I feel better, do you have any ingredients in your kitchen? I’ll help you cook a meal. I have nothing to repay you with, but there is still my craftsmanship…”

 

Jiang Jiang was still recalling what Jianluo said just now: “Well… Luoluo, I suddenly remembered now, it seems that you haven’t told me who that person is?”

 

Jian Luo took a deep breath: “Do you really want to know?”

 

Jiang Jiang didn’t want to.

 

But inexplicably, just now, he always felt that Jian Luo was helping him deal with things behind the scenes for him. Thinking of this, he panicked on the spot!

 

“Well, I suddenly want to know.” Jiang Jiang glanced at Jian Luo secretly: “Is it alright to say?”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “He is Lu Shifeng.”

 

“…”

 

The room suddenly became silent.

 

The expression on Jiang Jiang’s face, who was still processing his true feelings just now, suddenly solidified, and he became as stiff as a stone sculpture that couldn’t move.

 

Jian Luo: “Jiang Jiang?”

 

Jiang Jiang blinked as his face turned white. Even his words came out a little awkward: “Luoluo, you must be joking with me, right?”

 

Jian Luo nodded solemnly: “No, I’m serious.”

 

“…”

Chapter 23 – He took a shower and left

 

The driver turned around and asked, “Where do you want to go?”

 

Jian Luo said to the driver, “Wait a minute.”

 

He turned on the information bracelet and contacted Jiang Jiang urgently. When he was chatting with Jiang Jiang before, Jiang Jiang said that he lived in Dark Star and it was within the inner ring¹In China, cities are divided into circles. Those within the more inner layers of the circles (more metropolitan areas) were considered to be more rich than those in the outer rings.. The location was very good and he lived alone.

 

I’m counting on you now, Jiang Jiang!

 

Jian Luo sent him a message: “It’s an emergency. Can you come and pick me up? Something happened.”

 

Jiang Jiang replied quickly: “What’s wrong with you, where are you?”

 

“Tell me a place.” Jian Luo replied, “Where can we meet?”

 

Jiang Jiang over there was also a cheerful person, and quickly set the location, Jian Luo breathed a sigh of relief and reported the address to the driver.

 

The driver responded and started the car.

 

Sitting in the back seat, Jian Luo felt that his entire body was going to be crippled. He gasped lightly, thinking that Lu Shifeng was a beast and a bastard, not a human being!

 

Quickly

 

The driver arrived at the place: “Mr. Jian Luo, we are here.”

 

Jian Luo got up with difficulty and trembled as he opened the door, but the driver was faster and had already gotten out of the car to open the door for him.

 

“Thank you.” Jian Luo still remembered to be polite.

 

The driver was also an honest man: “No need, Madam Lu. Oh no, I meant Mr. Jian. Please have a good journey.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo glanced at him.

 

The honest driver touched his head and pretended that he didn’t say anything.

 

Jian Luo reluctantly retracted his gaze. He had inquired before that the Dark Stars were not as conservative. They did not require those who have slept together to be married, like some traditional societies, so someone like him and Lu Shifeng having a one night stand was fine.

 

Everyone was mature, so it must be casual for them to get together before breaking up.

 

“Jian Luo!”

 

A boy’s voice came from not far away.

 

Jian Luo turned his head and saw a slightly chubby boy in black clothes standing on the side of the road. He was tall and strong.

 

Jiang Jiang strode over: “How are you?”

 

Jian Luo stretched out his hand tremblingly: “Hold my hand.”

 

Jiang Jiang supported him in a panic: “It’s alright. You are really going to scare me to death. When I got the call today, I was going to hang up.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo gasped lightly: “Go back first, I want to take a bath.”

 

Jiang Jiang answered and led him back, but he didn’t ask any more questions. He looked back frequently along the way, and it seemed that he had a lot to say, but he held back.

 

Jian Luo simply said, “What do you want to ask?”

 

“You have a piece of it…” Jiang Jiang seemed to be thinking about the words: “It seems to be the scent of a Dark Star.”

 

Logically speaking, Jian Luo was a human being, so how could he smell like a Dark Star?

 

And this smell was very overbearing and it made people a little uncomfortable after whiffing it.

 

Jian Luo sighed lightly: “Be confident and remove your stammering assumptions.”

 

Jiang Jiang was stunned, he had something more important to ask: “Luoluo, tell me. Did the other party force you? Don’t be afraid, if the other party really dared to force you, even if he is a Dark Star, he will not be exempted. The military will maintain order, so we don’t need to be afraid.”

 

“…”

 

The military did it to me.

 

Jian Luo sighed leisurely: “Forget it, no one forced me, I’m tired and hungry now, will you hurry up and drive?”

 

“…Okay.”

 

The two quickly returned to the residence in a car.

 

Although Jiang Jiang lives in the inner ring, it was an ordinary residential building. No one would have thought that the headquarters of Jinjiang Live Broadcasting Network was in such a simple place.

 

Jiang Jiang led Jian Luo to stop at a door. The biometric detector on the door scanned his pupils and made a mechanical sound: “Beep, pass.”

 

The door opened and two people walked in.

 

Jian Luo was helped in by him, and Jiang Jiang said, “Who was it? He didn’t take pity on you at all.”

 

Jian Luo echoed: “Too inhumane!”

 

The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a small dining table in the living room. The kitchen was also very small. There was one bedroom and a study.

 

Jiang Jiang said, “You can sleep in the bedroom, I’ll just sleep in the study.”

 

Jian Luo shook his head: “No.”

 

“Why are you being so courteous with me?” Jiang Jiang asked him to sit beside the bed: “To be honest, I don’t usually use the bedroom. I sleep in the study because there are many things to monitor on the website. There are also bugs from time to time that I have to fix.”

 

Jian Luo was a little surprised: “It turns out that Jinjiang is so laggy because you are the only programmer?”

 

“Is it that laggy?” Jiang Jiang said confidently, “I think it’s okay!”

 

“…”

 

I’m afraid you have some misunderstandings about your own website.

 

Fortunately, Jian Luo didn’t bother to argue with him about these matters now. He sat down on the bed and asked, “Can you take a shower here, I feel uncomfortable.”

 

Jiang Jiang nodded quickly: “Yes, yes, I’ll adjust the water temperature for you.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you!”

 

Jiang Jiang waved his hand and left. As soon as he walked away, Jian Luo covered his stomach. He seemed to be leaking something. He couldn’t feel any sensation below his legs. He recalled that last night was like a nightmare. Fortunately, although Lu Shifeng is not a human being, he did not transform into his dragon body to mate with him, otherwise he might not be alive now.

 

“Luoluo, it’s ready!”

 

Jiang Jiang’s voice came from outside.

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay.”

 

He took off the information bracelet. The conditions at home were not good so the bracelet he bought was not a particularly high-end model. As such, it was not waterproof. The bracelet was placed outside as he asked Jiang Jiang to lend him a shirt before he went inside.

 

On the other side

 

In the military base.

 

When Lu Shifeng woke up, it was already noon. The black dragon shook his head comfortably. There was still a hint of sweet fragrance in the air, which was very tantalizing.

 

It was the smell of that human being.

 

By the way, what about that human?

 

Lu Shifeng turned his head. He didn’t need to look around much. There was no one else in this room and the smart dragon quickly came to a conclusion.

 

The dragon’s tail shook on the floor unhappily.

 

“Ding Dong”

 

The doorbell rang outside.

 

Lu Shifeng regained his human form. Without the dragon scales, his skin was revealed with a mottle of blue and purple scratches on it. It was very terrifying.

 

Secretary Jin was exhausted and worried waiting outside.

 

“Beep.”

 

The door opened and Lu Shifeng’s voice sounded from inside: “Come in.”

 

Secretary Jin felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly walked in. The person sitting on the sofa wore a tattered military uniform and coat. One could faintly see the scratches on their neck and Secretary Jin who saw it felt shocked. There was not a single trace of the person who left, making it seem like it was brother Jian who was the ruthless one.

 

Secretary Jin thoughtfully said, “Marshal, His Majesty called you to enter the palace urgently. He said that there is something he needs to discuss with you.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “I don’t have time.”

 

“Cough.” Secretary Jin felt a little difficult so she said quickly, “Your Majesty said that if you are in a hurry, he can take the initiative to come over on his own.”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng’s handsome face instantly darkened.

 

It’s not that he was afraid of the little emperor. The main reason was that the little emperor was too difficult to deal with. That person was like a disgusting brown-sugar candy, sticky and can’t be torn off or kicked away.

 

After thinking for a while, Lu Shifeng said, “Let him come.”

 

Secretary Jin responded quickly, ready to find the right time to run away.

 

“Stop.” A cool voice came from behind and Lu Shifeng said slowly, “Did I pardon you?”

 

Secretary Jin stopped and walked back in small steps: “What is your order?”

 

Lu Shifeng said slowly, “Where’s Jian Luo?”

 

“…”

 

Marshal, wake up, I beg you.

 

What’s wrong with Jian Luo, he ran away early.

 

The other side

 

When Jiang Jiang was in the study room, he heard a sound coming from the information bracelet in the room. He shouted to the bathroom: “Luoluo, you seem to have a call!”

 

Jian Luo was having a hard time. He thought that Su Liang called him to ask why he didn’t return all night, so he said, “Please pick it up for me. Tell them you are Jiang Jiang, and that I stayed at your house.”

 

Fortunately, he thought about it well in advance and told Su Liang that if he had something to do in Sky City temporarily, he would stay at his good friend Jiang Jiang’s house first.

 

Jiang Jiang responded, but didn’t even realize that he was answering a call from the previous caller. 

 

From the other end of the phone came a low and steady male voice with a magnetic tone: “Jian Luo.”

 

“Hey, I’m not Jian Luo, I’m Jiang Jiang.”

 

The head paused: “Where is he? I’m looking for him.”

 

“Ah, he went to take a bath!” Jiang Jiang scratched his head: “He slept with me today, don’t worry.”

 

“…”

Chapter 22 – Never go home

 

The next day

 

When Jian Luo just woke up, he thought that he had been run over by a car again.

 

This kind of feeling was not something ordinary people could go through with. His limbs were sore and weak, and his entire body felt like he had been roasted over and over over a fire. Both hot and sore. He couldn’t move at all, but that’s also good as he doesn’t dare to recall what just happened.

 

“Boom!”

 

Jian Luo rolled off the bed. He let out a sigh as the bottom of his hand felt something icy cold to the touch. He looked down cautiously and saw that it was a dragon’s tail!

 

The huge body of the black dragon had occupied the entire bedroom. The whole dragon was resting. At this moment, he was satiated with his eyes closed. If he understood the natural behavior of the Dark Stars a little more, he would know that an adult dragon will never be in a place other than in his nest and with no one other than their partner. Plus when they fall asleep, it will be into a deep sleep that is difficult to wake up from.

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened: “Dragon savior?”

 

A fragment of his memory flashed by, and Jian Luo suddenly recalled that before, it seemed that Lu Shifeng’s hurried dragon scales were black, which meant that his life-saving dragon was actually Lu Shifeng!?

 

Shit!

 

Now Jian Luo just wants to swear, does that mean that he really follows the rules of the rivers and lakes and promises his life-saving benefactor?

 

Suddenly

 

The dragon’s tail moved, and Lu Shifeng seemed to be waking up.

 

Jian Luo’s heart was stuck in his throat. He didn’t know where his strength suddenly came from, but he endured the pain and stood up. One of the advantages of Interstellar Technology was that there was a small grid in the information bracelet used as a storage space for clothes.

 

“Clothes, clothes…”

 

Jian Luo took out the white coat he had stored before shaking it and putting it on.

 

Step by step, he carefully moved to the door. When he opened the door, he was met by the people outside with big eyes and small eyes¹O-o. Secretary Jin said, “Luoluo?”

 

Jian Luo leaned against the door and smiled at her: “Secretary Jin, your office is really interesting.”

 

Secretary Jin was sullen and she was about to cough a mouthful of blood: “That, Luoluo, I have to say… that is not my office, this is the marshal’s lounge.”

 

? ? ?

 

Jian Luo gnashed his almost shattered teeth as he trembled with anger: “Why did the little adjutant bring me here?”

 

Secretary Jin couldn’t figure it out either. Right now, she had something else more important to figure out, that is, why did this human being… smell like the marshal?

 

There were only two possible explanations.

 

One is that this human drank the marshal’s dragon blood, but that was impossible. Ignoring considerations about whether a human could withstand the dragon’s blood or not, it was an offense to Lu Shifeng’s people. Even if the god of war came, he may not be able to taste dragon blood.

 

This human?

 

Secretary Jin glanced at Jian Luo in front of her. The young man’s white apparel was covering him tightly, but there were still some traces on his neck that could not be ignored, but they didn’t look like traces of violence, but like oh no…

 

Secretary Jin suddenly had a bold idea: “Luoluo, you didn’t…”

 

Jian Luo shuddered. His face was dark and he didn’t want to speak: “Secretary Jin, I remember the contract we signed before, that is if something unpleasant happened to me during work, I can terminate the contract at any time.”

 

Secretary Jin remembered that this was true, she nodded: “What happened to you, Luoluo, can you tell me?”

 

“…”

 

Like I would tell you shit!

 

Jian Luo felt so uncomfortable sohe took a breath: “Secretary Jin, can you do one thing for me?”

 

Secretary Jin said quickly, “I can do it!”

 

This person may be the marshal’s future wife. Taking that into consideration, he might be the master of the other half of the military in the future. Was there anything she couldn’t do for him?

 

Jian Luo gritted his teeth: “Call me a car.”

 

Secretary Jin looked inside hesitantly: “But marshal…”

 

“Forget it.” Jian Luo said, “I’ll call one myself.”

 

Secretary Jin quickly changed her words: “Hey, hey. I’ll call for one. You can rest, I’ll call a car!”

 

As expected of the number one secretary of the military, her work efficiency is very fast. Secretary Jin originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by Jian Luo. Jian Luo had already figured it out. If he went home in a ghostly way, wouldn’t Su Liang and his younger brother make trouble?

 

No, no, wherever he was going, he had to find a hotel in Dark Star by himself!

 

Jian Luo said to the driver, “Please take me to a hotel.”

 

The driver turned his head to the front: “Sir, just to ask, do you have a registered permanent residence?”

 

“…”

 

What the hell?

 

Jian Luo sighed, “No.”

 

“You can’t stay in the Dark Star’s hotel.” The driver dutifully said, “I’ll take you home.”

 

Jian Luo’s head was buzzing all of a sudden, and he glanced at the driver with some resentment. But after thinking about it, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the drivers, so he just looked away and laid down on the car’s chair blankly.

 

After quite a while

 

Jian Luo finally thought of somewhere to go!

---

T/N: Yes. If you’re wondering if they did the nasty. Yes, yes they did. Unfortunately, it’s censored… I’m so sad, but hey they say imagination is the best tool, so I’ll just leave whatever happened between Jian Luo and his draggo hubby up to your imaginations, huh? ✍(◔◡◔) I wonder how dissapointed Aidalba must’ve been when reading the beginning of this chapter.
