“…”
This blessing is given to you. Do you want it?
Jian Luo was already feeling complicated, and learning that there might be more than two of them made him even more complicated. However, he still had a question: "How do you know it's a dragon cub?"
After all, there are more than just dragons among the Dark Star people. I heard there are also phoenixes. Unfortunately, he has never seen one.
The old man said cheerfully, "Last time Marshal Lu went to inspect the breeding base, weren't you following him? I saw it."
“…”
Jian Luo wanted to struggle a little: "That doesn't necessarily mean I'm having an affair with him."
The old man asked back, "Then this isn't a dragon egg you're carrying?"
Jian Luo choked again.
The old man didn't expose him, but instead began to think of a solution for him: "I know what you're most worried about right now, but you'd better think it over carefully. The high priest of the empire is very powerful."
There is a very strange phenomenon in this world.
There is a word that you have either never heard of, or once you have heard of it, it will surround you all day long.
Thinking about this, Jian Luo finally decided to ask: "What exactly does the High Priest do?"
"You don't even know this?" The old man looked at him as if he were mentally retarded. "How could you not even recognize the high priest?"
Jian Luo accepted his fate: "My village just got the internet."
"We are from the same village."
“…”
Their eyes met in silence.
After a while.
The old man finally decided to let him go. He said in a deep voice, "High Priest Zhan Wentai, formerly known as Zhan Fengtai, is the last pure-blooded phoenix of the Phoenix Clan. The Phoenix Clan possesses psychic powers, foreseeing the past and the present. It's said that thousands of years ago, the Phoenix Clan prospered greatly. Then, one day, the Clan leader predicted that the Dark Star would bring about a catastrophe that would wipe out the clan."
Jian Luo felt like she was listening to a story: "And then?"
"At the time, naturally, no one believed it." The old man picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Think about it, the Dark Star people are the strongest in the universe. They are born to be favored by heaven. No one dares to challenge them. If you tell them that they will exterminate such a race, can they believe it themselves?"
Jian Luo agreed very much: "Every one of them is as arrogant as an idiot. Except for their own people, they think everyone else is weak. Not only are they arrogant, but they also act like they are the only ones who matter to them every day."
The old man said, "In fact, I am the only one who is in charge."
“…”
That's enough.
Don't tell me these facts anymore.
"So, at that time, the Dark Star people didn't take it seriously. Until a hundred years later, the birth rate declined year by year. First, the Dragon Clan stopped giving birth to cubs. Then, several nobles, the Blood Clan, the Pixiu, these leading nobles were also childless. Until later, even the Half-Beasts were gone."
Jian Luo wanted to say: "Why is this?"
He actually always found it very strange. How could there be a planet where all the people were infertile?
It’s amazing no matter how you look at it!
The old man stroked his beard and sighed, "The moment a flower blooms its most beautifully is the moment it's about to wither. This has been the case since ancient times. The day humanity is on the verge of extinction is also the day when technology and population flourish."
“…”
Jian Luo fell into silence.
In fact, if he had to tell the truth, he did not actually refute the old man's remarks. For many things, prosperity must eventually decline, and that is how it should be.
But if we follow this logic, then extreme decline will inevitably lead to the opposite, and humans and the Dark Stars are both declining races, so which one is more pitiful? Perhaps this is also the reason why the Dark Stars accepted humans.
If you think about it carefully, although the Dark Star people despise humans, they have never committed any real acts of oppression. They give humans jobs, a place to live and reproduce, and even give humans resources.
If it weren't for them, humanity might eventually face the extinction of the entire race.
Jian Luo scratched his head: "If that's the case, then the Dark Star people don't seem so hateful after all."
"There's no such thing as absolute right or wrong." The old man gave him a meaningful look. "If I have to say something, it's why you were able to get pregnant."
“…”
You ask me?
Jian Luo choked: "How would I know?"
"I noticed it when I took your pulse." The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Your body is different from the other humans in Anleyuan."
Jian Luo was slightly surprised: "What's the difference?"
The old man smiled and said, "Your body structure is a little different. This may be the reason why you can get pregnant. These days, I have been thinking about the reason. Later I thought it might be related to diet. You didn't grow up drinking nutrient solution, right?"
Jian Luo widened his eyes and subconsciously retorted: "How is that possible!"
But on second thought, he fell silent again, because he thought of a more terrifying and somewhat unacceptable possibility.
Could it be that he - it's not a soul traveling at all!
Is it possible that the car accident brought him here directly? He grew up on Earth, and he ate vegetables and rice and drank boiled water since he was a child, not some nutrient solution here!
The old man looked at his expression and smiled slightly: "This kid, you'd better think it through as soon as possible. If you delay, the lack of nutrition will be harmful to your life."
Jian Luo came back to her senses and pursed her lips: "I want to ask, the Dark Star people seem to be very sensitive to smells. I have one in my stomach now, will it have any impact?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Dragon cubs grow very quickly. At this stage, they don't have any willpower. When they grow up a little bit, they will yearn for their father's breath. If you don't go find him, you won't be able to bear it yourself."
“…”
Fuck.
Jian Luo walked back from the small clinic and felt extremely exhausted. He was hungry, sleepy and tired, and didn't want to pay any attention to this kind of thing at all.
But when I got to the door, I saw several people standing at the door.
Jian Luo was stunned. According to his experience, if someone came to his house, they definitely didn't come for any good reasons.
“Hey, isn’t this Luoluo!”
A woman looked over.
Jian Luo had no impression of her at all: "Who are you?"
"Oh, my Luoluo." The woman tied up her hair and came over to hold Jian Luo's hand affectionately: "How could you forget me? I am your aunt. I held you in my arms when you were a child."
Jian Luo smiled: "That's why I knew you when I was a child."
The woman's face changed. "You kid, you're so funny. I saw you two years ago, and you forgot so quickly."
“…”
So what are you here for?
Just as Jian Luo was thinking about it, Su Liang came out. He took a step back and asked, "Mom, who are these people?"
Su Liang looked embarrassed: "Luoluo, this is your aunt Su You. Something happened at home and she wants to stay with us for a few days."
Jian Luo's head ached: "What happened?"
Su You sighed: "It's not a good place to talk outside, let's go inside and talk."
Jian Luo actually didn't want to go in with them, but he really didn't have any impression of this aunt. Before everything was clear, he decided to wait and see.
A group of people walked into the house.
Su You looked around and raised his voice, "Hey, Aliang, your house is really nice, so clean. Oh my god, are those dishes on the table? You can actually afford to eat vegetables?"
Jian Luo rubbed his eyebrows.
Su Liang quickly said, "Sister, please keep your voice down. Luo Luo just got off work and is very tired. Don't bother him."
Su You tsk tsk, "Isn't it just a few words? Why are you so loud? Hey, I heard that Luo Luo is working in Sky City and making a lot of money. A few days ago, I heard someone saw your family buying rice, and it was delivered by Yun Express. Oh, I find you really stupid. Now that your family is making money, you don't recognize me as your big sister anymore?"
This time Su Liang didn't say anything. Jian Luo spoke first: "Aunt, are you my mother's sister?"
Su Youyuan nodded: "Yes."
"Oh, so my mother is your sister. As an older sister, I should help my younger sister, right?" Jian Luo smiled. "You also know that my mother was laid off. Can you lend me some money?"
Su You's face changed: "Kid, why do you keep talking about money?"
Jian Luo raised an eyebrow: "Am I deaf? I remember it was you, Auntie, who brought it up first, so how come I'm the one asking for money?"
“…”
Su You glared at Jian Luo.
The woman was really rude and sat down at the table. "Aliang, your Luoluo has a really bad temper, but I also know it's not easy for you to raise a child alone for so many years, so I won't mind. Well, I'm a little hungry too. Can I have some of these dishes?"
Su Liang had a headache.
Her elder sister is actually not a bad person, she just likes to take advantage of others.
He must have heard some rumors somewhere and came to my door. If I don't deal with him properly, he might keep bothering me in the future.
Jane sat down at the table: "Aunt, if you are hungry, eat."
Su You's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Luoluo is really sensible. Auntie's love for you when you were young was not in vain. I gave you several of your clothes."
Jian Luo said: "Aunt, you haven't told me why you came to my house."
“…”
Su You pursed his lips in annoyance: "Can't I come to your house to visit you if I have nothing to do? Your mother and I are good sisters, blood is thicker than water."
Jian Luo curled his lips and smiled, a little sarcastically.
Su Liang has suffered for so long and has never seen his good sisters come to visit. Now that he has bought some rice, his good sisters will be happy.
Su Liang from the kitchen brought out the hot meals. Today she specially made pork rib soup and added salt according to Jian Luo's instructions. It tasted pretty good.
Su Liang placed the bowl of soup in front of him and said softly, "Luoluo, you've been working hard these past few days. Mommy made this soup for you. Eat more."
Jian Luo nodded: "Thank you, Mom."
Although he was very hungry, he was only thinking about eating the holy dragon fruit and had little interest in other foods.
But he still has to eat. If he doesn't eat, not only will he not be able to bear it, even the kid can't bear it.
Thinking of this, Jian Luo picked up the spoon and started eating.
Originally, Jian Luo wanted to gnaw on a piece of pork ribs, but his mother hadn't done a good job of removing the fishy smell when cooking the meat. When he took a bite, the fishy smell suddenly burst out, forcing a nauseous feeling to surge up in his stomach: "Hmm..."
The spoon was thrown down with a "click" and Jian Luo rushed out.
After squatting in the bathroom and vomiting some acid, Jian Luo leaned against the sink to rinse his mouth. Su Liang's voice came from outside: "Luoluo, are you okay?"
Jian Luo rushed outside and said, "It's okay."
After tidying up her appearance, Jian Luo walked out. As soon as she opened the door, she was met with two pairs of eyes, all four of which were staring at her.
Su Liang hesitated and said, "Luoluo..."
"It's really nothing." Jian Luo smiled at Su Liang: "Didn't I tell you that my stomach hasn't been feeling well these past few days?"
Su Liang's frown remained unchanged.
These days, Jian Luo's changes have been seen by her mother. This child has lost weight too quickly, and there must be something she is hiding from her.
Jian Luo returned to the dining table and lost his appetite when he saw the spare ribs.
Su You took a quick glance and said, "Luoluo, if you don't want to eat, how about your aunt eat it for you?"
Jian Luo nodded and did not refuse.
So Su You snatched the bowl of spareribs away and, while eating, she said, "If you have stomach problems, I can take a look. I had a bad stomach when I was young, too."
Jian Luo decisively refused: "It's okay, it's nothing serious, Auntie, you can eat it and go back after you finish eating."
This is driving people away.
Su You frowned: "Luoluo, are you trying to chase Auntie away?"
Jian Luo wanted to nod, but seeing that the situation was not very convenient, he could only say: "Are you planning to stay at home?"
“…”
Su You curled his lips and said, "I'll just stay for a few days. When your mother was pregnant with you, your family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. It was me who brought food to your family. Do you still have a conscience when you say such things now?"
Su Liang, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer: "Sister, why are you yelling at Luo Luo? How could he know what happened before he was born? I'm very happy that you came to see me, but if you come here to quarrel with my son, I won't keep you."
The house was quiet.
Jian Luo didn't expect that his soft-tempered mother actually had this side to her, and was a little surprised for a moment.
Su You was also stunned, and had to give in: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, okay?"
Watching them talking, Jian Luo felt bored, so he put down his dishes, washed up, and went back to his room to rest. He was really tired every day.
But as soon as he left, Su You waved to Su Liang: "Come here quickly."
Su Liang was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"It seems your Luoluo is pregnant." Su You lowered his voice and said, "Believe me, I can't be wrong. I gave birth to three children, and I can tell whether she is pregnant or not at a glance."
Su Liang frowned and subconsciously retorted, "Sister, you can't talk nonsense! Our Luoluo doesn't even have a partner, so how could he have a child? Besides, even if he did have a child, he would marry a girl from our village!"
Su You curled his lips. "Am I talking nonsense? I've heard that people from the Dark Star can make men pregnant. Your Luo Luo works in the Sky City every day. Isn't that enough to explain everything?"
“…”
Sukura was silent.
The next day.
Jian Luo ran to the seed breeding base very early.
It takes 5-6 days for pepper seeds to germinate. Although this time is a bit long, they still need to be well cared for.
During the lunch break, Wang Heng said, "I just came to inform you that because you are a human being, unlike us, you can have a two-hour lunch break."
Jian Luo was stunned: "So good?"
"Don't get carried away." Wang Heng was very unhappy: "It's just that I saw that you were too weak, so I applied for special care."
“…”
No need to emphasize it again and again.
During these two hours, Jian Luo hesitated for a long time and finally came up with a brilliant idea. Didn't he still owe Lu Shifeng a meal? He might as well contact Secretary Jin and go to the military no matter what. Then, he would find an excuse to stay in the Sky Garden for a while. He heard that the Holy Dragon Fruit was all there, so he would think of a way to get some.
Secretary Kim shouldn’t be a stingy person, right?
As for the baby in my belly...
Jian Luo has been thinking about this matter these days. His mind tells him that he must abort the baby. He has a premonition that if he keeps the child, his life will be turned upside down.
But can we put these things aside for a while?
He is so hungry now!
Thinking of this, Jian Luo could no longer care about anything else. He sent a message to Secretary Jin: "Secretary Jin, are you there?"
The other side.
Secretary Jin is processing emails sent to the Marshal from various departments.
"Ding Dong."
A message came in, she quickly opened it and saw Jian Luo's message. After reading a line of words, Secretary Jin tensed up all over.
To be honest, these days, she found that the Marshal would occasionally ask some daunting questions:
"Has anyone contacted you?"
"No one has contacted you recently?"
"Have you read the news?"
“…”
So what is the news?
She is just a weak, pitiful and helpless little assistant!
Now, Jian Luo suddenly sent her a message, and the alert Secretary Jin immediately realized that something was wrong. According to the routine that Jian Luo used when he came out of the Marshal's room last time, the situation is now obvious to the naked eye. It is almost certain that these two people are having an affair!
The Marshal kept asking, and although he didn't say it explicitly, she understood it all!
Thinking of this, Secretary Jin said in a very friendly manner: "Luoluo, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"That's right." Jian Luo briefly recounted what happened that day: "I'm free now. Can I borrow your cafeteria to cook a meal for the Marshal?"
Secretary Jin was delighted.
This is too good!
So Secretary Jin agreed without hesitation and even called a car for Jian Luo: "The bus is so slow for you. It's okay. Our military cars are convenient."
Jian Luo thought about the limited time he had for lunch break and agreed.
The military car was indeed fast and arrived in a short while. Jian Luo got out of the car and was surprised to find the cafeteria not far away. The driver was very understanding: "Secretary Jin told us to do that."
Jian Luo thanked him and got out of the car.
In fact, if he cooked for Lu Shifeng, he still didn't quite understand Lu Shifeng's taste, but he remembered that he had been hired for making stewed potatoes with meat, so he decided to make one today.
The uncle in the kitchen was delighted to see him: "Luoluo?"
Jian Luo smiled: "Hello."
"Where's Luoluo?" The uncle in the kitchen sighed, "I've been thinking about you."
Jian Luo came over to look for ingredients: "I was thinking of you too. I remember you quite like potato pancakes. I'll make one for you when I have time."
The chef in the kitchen was very grateful: "Okay, okay."
The time when Jian Luo was in office was a happy moment in the chef's life. This kid could cook a lot of delicious food, and because he had nothing to do every day, he would change up the recipes. The uncle thought that this kind of life would continue, but who knew that Jian Luo left so suddenly.
"Uncle." Jian Luo said as he took vegetables from the freezer, "I heard the military recalled all the holy dragon fruits. Do you know why?"
The uncle was still relieved about him: "I'm not really sure about this matter, but I heard that it seems to be related to the mother tree?"
Jian Luo: "Mother tree?"
"Yes." The uncle explained to him, "In our military, half of the orcs are dragons, and the military is actually based in the Dragon Valley. Another reason the dragons have been entrenched here for generations is because the Mother Tree is also here. The Mother Tree is the origin of all dragons and the foundation that protects the dragons."
Jian Luo still didn't understand: "Then what does this have to do with the recycling of Holy Dragon Fruit?"
The uncle chuckled, "It's not a big deal. We've exported a lot of dragon fruit for foreign trade, but it seems the mother tree is unhappy. After all, dragon fruit is for her cubs to eat, so it's normal for the mother tree to be unhappy. But you said, we don't have any cubs, alas..."
Jian Luo suddenly felt guilty: "Yes, yes, isn't it a waste if I don't say it out loud?"
The uncle echoed his words while washing vegetables: "Who says it's not true? The higher-ups have no choice. We can't sell it, and we can't waste it, so we have to keep it. It's fine for us dragons to eat it ourselves, but we can't share it with others."
Is it okay for my family to eat it?!
Jian Luo suddenly discovered the highlight!
Unable to conceal his excitement, he suppressed his words, "So, you mean, everyone in our military can eat it?"
The uncle nodded: "Anything ordered by the former Marshal, Xiaolong can eat."
Very good.
Lu Shifeng, your son is crying because of greed!
Jian Luo quickly asked, "Actually, I also admire the Holy Dragon Fruit. Can I have some to try?"
The uncle hesitated: "It should be fine, but I have no say in this matter. Aren't you familiar with Secretary Jin? Ask her, she will definitely be able to give it to you."
Jian Luo nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."
Secretary Jin, I really misunderstood you before, but you are always there for me at the critical moment!
Jian Luo felt that the problem was solved all of a sudden and became full of energy. Even Xiaolong seemed to know that there was food to eat. He stopped making a fuss and vomiting, and became very well behaved.
The dish made today is a simple stew of potatoes and meat. With a little salt, the potatoes have a strong aroma and the meat is soft and delicious. Jian Luo also fried a few potato pancakes, cooked an egg custard, and made egg drop soup to finish.
The kitchen was filled with tempting aromas.
Secretary Jin received Jian Luo's message: "Could you please come and pick me up?"
sure!
Secretary Jin had already thought it through. She would first try to please Jian Luo, find out about the Marshal, and then take Jian Luo in directly and close the door. It was perfect!
Jian Luo stood in the sky garden, holding a lunch box and waiting for Secretary Jin.
There are still many dragons in the Sky Garden, mostly big dragons, but there are also many small dragons. He also saw the little golden dragon from last time.
The little dragon's scales were golden and shining in the sun. It lay lazily on the grass, its little tail swaying slowly. At this time, a little red dragon came from the other side. The two little dragons played and fought together, their wings fluttering, and occasionally they would make a baby-like cry, which was very coquettish and completely different from their mighty appearance. It was so cute.
Suddenly.
Jian Luo began to wonder what his own child would be like.
Is it also a black dragon? If so, it must be very handsome. Brother Long was very cool at that time. He was so big and handsome that he could call the wind and rain.
Or maybe there are two of them, playing and fighting together like this.
Thinking of this, Jian Luo's heart suddenly softened. The cub was innocent, and it was fate that he came here. If he couldn't get it from Secretary Jin later, would he go to Lu Shifeng?
"Luoluo?"
Just as I was thinking about it, Secretary Jin's voice came from behind me.
Jian Luo turned around and was delighted to see Secretary Jin: "Long time no see."
"Long time no see, Luoluo." Secretary Jin saw him looking at Xiaolong and asked, "Do you like our dragon clan very much?"
“…”
I dare not.
Jian Luo thought about it and changed his words: "I heard that you guys had a good harvest of Holy Dragon Fruit, I'm quite curious."
"It's indeed a good harvest. The trees throughout the Dragon Valley are in bloom this year." Secretary Jin smiled. "But the little dragons don't particularly like it. They usually like it when they're still in the eggs, but after that they don't crave it that much."
Jian Luo was delighted and asked tentatively, "Is the Holy Dragon Fruit delicious? I've always been curious about it. I wonder if there's a chance to try it?"
Secretary Jin was stunned.
According to the marshal, this can only be eaten by the dragon people. It would definitely not be a good idea to share it with others. I don’t know if the mother tree will be angry.
However, she is a gold medal secretary, and naturally she is best at solving problems for the Marshal. Now it is rare for the Marshal's old tree to bloom, if she is reluctant to even give away a few fruits, what's the point of dating?
Great, it's time to show off!
Thinking of this, Secretary Jin smiled and said, "No problem. I'll have someone pack a box for you later. This is very nutritious. You can take it after you finish eating."
