Chapter 84 Second Gland Stops Development
In the study of the Xisana Palace, Lanzai stood in front of the desk, holding a few photos in his hand and handing them over.
Lanzai spoke cautiously, "Your Majesty, I've been keeping an eye on that Major General these past few days. He truly hasn't interacted with anyone, be they humans, mermen, or any other animals. He's been going back and forth between the factory and the training base every day, very disciplined."
Yu Li was stroking the amber pendant in his hand. When he heard the word "factory", he paused and asked, "What kind of factory?"
Did he really choose to go into business? Was training mercenaries just a hobby?
"It looks like a factory producing steel or construction materials."
Lanzai pointed to a photo on the table. "This is the perimeter of the factory. It's surrounded by high walls, and there are many guards at the gate. The management there is very strict. You have to swipe through three surveillance gates to get in. I asked Antia's friends for help, but they couldn't get in. I can only take these photos of the perimeter."
Yu Li took the photo and looked at the strict guard in the photo, his brows frowned even deeper.
Yu Li touched the amber pendant in his hand, thinking: The management is so strict, could it be that this mass-produced thing is a rare item?
Yu Li stood up thoughtfully and said, "Let's go to Antia and take a look."
Pu Lan, who had always disliked Lan Zai, rolled his eyes at him and hurried after him: "Your Majesty...what are you going to see? Wait for me."
Yu Li: "Go see a doctor."
A day later, they arrived in Antia.
Yu Li actually went to see a doctor, but he went to a different hospital.
At this time, Yu Li was sitting in the clinic with a pile of fresh examination reports in his hands.
According to the examination, his primary gland is still shrinking, compared with the examination report from some time ago.
The first gland shrank by another ten millimeters, but the second gland did not continue to grow and develop. The doctor recommended that surgery should be performed only after the second gland reached maturity.
Compared with previous times, the doctors' treatment plans in this hospital are more conservative.
Pu Lan read the precautions to him painstakingly, one by one, for fear of missing anything.
"The doctor recommended eating more foods containing endogenous hormones, which can promote the development of the second gland, such as soybeans, soy beans, tofu, soy milk, oats, barley, wheat, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, apples, cherries, plums, honey, etc..."
"Your Majesty, when we return to Xisana, I will cook for you in different ways every day."
When Pu Lan looked up, he found that Yu Li was not listening at all.
He took a photo of a medical record and sent it to Qi Sheng with a message:
I came to Antia for a medical consultation today.
As soon as the message was sent, Qi Sheng’s reply popped up:
"What's wrong? The training base isn't far from where you are. I'll pick you up."
Yu Li looked at the screen, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his fingers typed quickly:
[But I haven't sent the location yet, how do you know if it's far?]
Qi Sheng [Actually, I want to see you]
Yu Li laughed
Send location information
He looked up at Plan and Lanzai and said, "You guys can stay in Antia for a few days. I have something to do, so you don't have to follow me."
"Your Majesty! You are sick now and need someone to take care of you." Plan was the first to object and was about to follow.
Lanzai hugged him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, His Majesty has already said that he has something to do. If you continue to follow him, it would be very impolite!"
"You fucking...it's none of your business!" Plan struggled to push Lanzai away.
"I'm trying to advise you out of kindness, why are you scolding me?" Lanzai was helpless.
"I'm scolding you! Don't think you can be proud of yourself just because you work for His Majesty. His Majesty hates traitors like you the most."
"Okay, I won't bother with you." Lanzai surrendered and let him go.
Plan hurriedly chased after him, but saw that Yu Li had already gotten into a black SUV.
The person sitting in the driver's seat was Qi Sheng.
The SUV drove all the way towards the outskirts of the city and finally stopped in front of a detached villa.
However, this villa is not as luxurious as the one in District F. Instead, it has a post-war feel of financial ruin.
Qi Sheng got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and said to Yu Li, "We're here, let's go in and take a look."
Yu Li followed Qi Sheng into the villa and was stunned as soon as he entered the door.
In the center of the living room, a huge crystal tank stood quietly in his sight like solidified waves.
The water is shimmering and crystal clear, with corals of various colors humming and dancing in it.
The seaweed sways gently with the waves, outlining a miniature ocean world.
Time seemed to flow backwards, and the scene before him was almost the same as the small house he had lived in in the Saar Federation, except that it was many times larger than that small home.
"Do you like it?" Qi Sheng's voice came from the side, low and close, like a warm breeze blowing across the ear.
Yu Li slowly came back to his senses, with the shimmering light of water reflected in his eyes.
He nodded gently: "Yeah, I like it."
"This place is very close to the training base, just a few minutes' walk away. It was originally industrial land, but it's perfect for building an original ecological site..."
He seemed to be explaining, but in fact he was trying to keep her.
A king, willing to settle for a less magnificent house, and even before that, to squeeze into an even smaller room with him.
Qi Sheng always felt that he had been wronged before.
Yu Li turned around and looked straight into Qi Sheng's eyes, "Thank you."
Qi Sheng, however, did not act like he did before and stubbornly warned him: "You said thank you to me! Don't say that again! Otherwise, I will cry in front of you..."
He just rubbed Yu Li's head and said, "Go in and swim for a while. It will help you relieve your fatigue. I'll go prepare lunch for you."
He said, then turned and headed towards the kitchen.
The sea water in the crystal tank was of just the right temperature, and had a faint smell of sea salt, which gradually relaxed Yu Li's tense body.
He leaned against the coral, looked at the bubbles on the water, and thought of the strictly managed factory, and his uneasiness grew heavier.
About an hour later, Qi Sheng's voice came from the living room: "It's time to eat."
Yu Li jumped out of the crystal tank and changed into the loose pajamas that Qi Sheng had prepared for him.
When he reached the restaurant, he was stunned again.
The long dining table was filled with food.
Stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried tofu, hot soy milk, oat milk, steamed broccoli, boiled cauliflower, stir-fried cabbage, a plate of apples, a stack of cherries and a glass of honey water.
These are all foods recommended by doctors and are helpful for gland development.
"..." Yu Li looked at the table full of bland food, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Excuse me, is there any food that you humans like to eat?"
"Like hot pot, spicy hot pot, barbecue, etc?"
He had been eating bland food in Xisana for too long and had longed to eat something delicious.
Qi Sheng brought a cup of honey water and handed it to Yu Li: "Fresh honey."
Yu Li took the honey water and took a sip. The sweet taste spread across his tongue, but it did not dispel the disappointment in his heart: "But I want to eat meat..."
He looked at Qi Sheng aggrievedly and said, "Meat is a very good food and can supplement protein."
Qi Sheng took the honey water from his hand and said, "Okay, then let me check what kind of meat is suitable for you in your current condition?"
He opened his phone and searched, seeing a list of high-quality proteins. "Well, lean lamb and lean beef are fine... But you still need to focus on hormone supplements. Wait until you recover..."
Yu Li: "How do you know what disease I have?"
Qi Sheng paused, picked up the soy milk and took a sip, trying to hide his panic: "The photo you took of me has a case analysis and a list of precautions. I took a look and wrote them down."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Yu Li picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried bean sprouts and put it into his mouth.
The bean sprouts were fried very tender, with a hint of garlic flavor, and the taste was surprisingly good.
He picked up another piece of tofu, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just to his taste.
"Is it delicious?" Qi Sheng's voice was a little cautious, and his eyes were fixed on Yu Li's face, as if he was afraid that he would say it was not delicious.
Yu Li nodded and took another bite of broccoli: "It's delicious, better than Pulan's."
The food Puran cooks is always tasteless.
Qi Sheng did something different.
He added salt.
And it seems that his cooking skills have improved a lot, and the food is much more "sexy" than before.
The food I made before was all black, but now it’s colorful, so it’s very sexy.
Qi Sheng's mouth curled up unconsciously. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up another piece of apple and handed it to Yu Li: "Eat some fruit to supplement your vitamins."
Yu Li took a bite and followed his example, picking up a broccoli. However, he did not pass it directly to Qi Sheng's mouth. Instead, he took a small bite himself and then passed it to him, saying vaguely, "This broccoli is also delicious. You should try it too."
As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Sheng's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
I have to find a way to go to the factory with him.
Qi Sheng ate the green food he handed to him.
Hmm... a bit unpalatable.
Qi Sheng was about to take the broccoli and throw it away, but he saw Yu Li swallowing a piece of broccoli in one gulp, chewing it sweetly with his little mouth, like a satisfied little animal.
His originally tense nerves gradually relaxed.
He picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of oat milk and handed it to Yu Li: "Drink some of this too."
Yu Li did not refuse and opened his mouth to drink it obediently. The warm liquid slid down his throat with a faint milky aroma, which made him squint his eyes.
Yu Li forked up a piece of tofu and passed it to Qi Sheng's mouth, with a tone of coquettishness that was intentional or unintentional, "You have made so much, try it yourself."
Qi Sheng obediently ate the tofu and looked at the smile in Yu Li's eyes. He suddenly wanted to cook for him every day. At least this was all he could do. As for the future, he would work hard to improve his cooking skills.
The two of them fed each other.
The originally monotonous lunch actually tasted a bit sweet.
Yu Li pretended to be a little bird, and asked calmly: "Besides going to the training base every day, do you go anywhere else?"
Qi Sheng paused while picking up the food: "Well, I'm basically training at the base." He didn't tell him about the factory, nor did he want him to know.
"That's so boring." He really didn't want to tell me.
"I'm used to it. If you want to go somewhere to play, I'll take you there in the afternoon." Qi Sheng said as he picked up another piece of apple for him.
"You don't have to go anywhere special. I'll be very happy if you can accompany me." If the factory matter is important, you will definitely be able to go. I just need to follow you.
…
At the same time, outside the villa area in Antia District F, Plan was squatting on the roadside, his eyes fixed on the gate.
He had been squatting here for almost two hours, just wanting to wait for Qi Sheng to come out and ask him what his intentions were towards His Majesty.
A familiar black car drove out of the community. Pu Lan's eyes lit up and he was about to rush forward, but he found that the person in the driver's seat was not Qi Sheng, but Zhai Wenxi.
Plan hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward and blocked the car with his arms outstretched.
The car suddenly stopped and Zhai Wenxi rolled down the window. "You're looking for death..."
He was stunned when he saw Pulan. This mermaid stuck to Yu Li every day, so it was hard for him not to recognize her.
He then smiled and said, "So it's you. Come in the car, we can talk about it in the car."
Plan was stunned. He didn't expect Zhai Wenxi to be so straightforward. He hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
"Where is Qi Sheng? Why didn't he come out with you?" Pu Lan asked impatiently as soon as he got in the car, with obvious hostility in his tone.
Zhai Wenxi gripped the steering wheel and said nonchalantly, "He's busy. What's wrong? What do you want to talk to him about?"
Pu Lan frowned. "I just want to ask where he took His Majesty. His Majesty is not in good health right now. If he dares to bully His Majesty, I will not forgive him!"
Zhai Wenxi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, Qi Sheng's heart for your Majesty is more sincere than anyone else. He won't bully your Majesty."
He spoke perfunctorily, "My buddy is enjoying the company of your master under the moonlight, what's the big deal about you disturbing them?"
A particularly bright light bulb?
Tsk tsk tsk, you clueless light bulb, just sit in my car, be quiet and don't make so many movements.
Pu Lan obviously didn't believe what Zhai Wenxi said and wanted to ask more questions, but he saw Zhai Wenxi parked the car in front of a kindergarten.
Zhai Wenxi smiled and said, "I'm going to pick someone up. I'll tell you later." As he said that, he pushed open the car door and walked out.
Pu Lan sat in the car, full of confusion, not knowing who Zhai Wenxi was going to pick up.
Not long after, a man dressed in a cartoon white rabbit costume walked out of the school.
When Jing Yue saw Zhai Wenxi, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to walk over, he saw that there seemed to be someone sitting in the passenger seat.
Because the car window was private, he couldn't see the mermaid's face. A surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he turned and left.
Zhai Wenxi saw Jing Yue turn and leave, and quickly chased after him, grabbing his wrist: "What's wrong? If you see me, run away. I won't eat you."
Jing Yue shook off his hand, deliberately not looking at the people in the car, and said in a cold tone: "Didn't you say you had something to do today? Why did you come to see me?"
