Chapter 38 Love Rival



Jian Luo was stunned: "Teach, educate?"

"Hmm." Zhan Wentai's gaze moved downwards, finally stopping at Jian Luo's lower abdomen: "It's time for prenatal education."

“…”

That's not necessary.

Jian Luo subconsciously touched her belly and was very curious: "It's only two months old, can it be conscious now?"

Zhan Wentai gestured for Jian Luo to follow him: "Prenatal education isn't just for it, it's for you too."

Jian Luo pointed at himself: "Me?"

It turns out this is a set meal. Yes, the Dark Star people can really refresh his cognition again and again.

Zhan Wentai walked on the road with his eyes sideways, and would bow and greet everyone he met along the way.

The high priest's temple is a tower-like building, the whole structure is white. After entering the hall, there stands a lifelike statue of a phoenix in the middle, looking majestic and powerful.

Zhan Wentai said, "Follow me."

Entering a small elevator, Jian Luo asked tentatively, "Um, Master Priest, may I ask you something?"

Zhan Wentai: "You say."

"What does prenatal education teach?" Jian Luo remembered that this was a dragon cub: "Is it teaching dragon knowledge?"

Zhan Wentai looked at him when he heard that.

Although the intellectual did not say it explicitly, Jian Luo actually deduced from it a meaning similar to "a mortal with fish lips".

"Ding Dong."

The elevator has arrived.

Zhan Wentai brought Jian Luo down from the elevator, the two of them coming out one after the other. The high red beams and retro carvings caught their eyes. The whole floor was filled with the heavy fragrance of history and books. There were rows of bookshelves that stretched as far as the eye could see, filled with countless books. Just looking at them made one's head buzz.

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

Zhan Wentai said: "Start learning from here."

?

A question mark slowly emerged from above my head.

Jian Luo stammered, "I learn?"

"These are the basics." Zhan Wentai's voice was deep and steady. He possessed an air of holiness and nobility, and his words naturally spoke as if they were a gift from God. "It's not difficult to learn."

Jian Luo looked at the piles of heavy books: "No, not difficult?"

Zhan Wentai picked up a random book and said, "This row contains the history of Dark Star over the years. The next row contains cosmology. The next row contains knowledge related to scientific research and religion. These are generally not taught to the public. However, considering your significant contribution to Dark Star, Dark Star is very grateful. In return for your kindness, we will teach you everything we know."

???

Gratitude, repaying kindness with enmity?

He is just a weak and pitiful cook!

Why do I need to learn these!

Jian Luo's face wrinkled, betraying his son without any moral integrity or bottom line: "How about this, wait until the cubs are born and give this favor to them, it's all the same."

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

Jian Luo lowered his head guiltily.

"There will be someone dedicated to imparting knowledge and education to the cubs." Zhan Wentai's voice was cold. "Before that, I will be the one teaching you."

Jian Luo was on the verge of death and frantically tested: "Then, can this favor be exchanged for something else?"

As soon as the words fell, the air froze.

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

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

No, you totally misunderstood!

Jian Luo was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears. It was impossible for her to communicate with the upright and stubborn priest.

"Okay." Zhan Wentai let Jane sit on the sofa over there. "Let's talk about these five books today. I've asked someone to prepare some refreshments."

Jian Luo followed his gaze and saw two red velvet sofas placed next to a large floor-to-ceiling window not far away. On them were two plates of sliced ​​holy dragon fruit, and next to them were two pots of steaming hot tea.

Jian Luo: "Can I eat during class?"

Zhan Wentai thought for a moment: "If you're not hungry..."

"Hungry, I'm very hungry!"

“…”

So early in the morning, the good news of the peppers sprouting could not overwhelm the sadness of having to study, and Jian Luo, who had graduated many years ago, was forced to embark on a study career.

He would eat and slack off while Zhan Wentai was lecturing. If he hadn't been so close, he might even have taken a nap. Finally, Zhan Wentai finished his lecture: "This situation lasted for about 100 years, and then the first orc appeared."

Jian Luo was absent-minded: "Hmm..."

Zhan Wentai stopped talking and stared at Jian Luo without blinking, which made people feel uneasy. He was a little distracted at first, but now he was fully awake.

Jian Luo shook himself up and raised his voice: "So that's how it is!"

Zhan Wentai closed the book and said in a deep voice, "Do you understand everything?"

"I understand." Jian Luo pretended to understand. "I completely understand, really. I never thought the history of the orcs was so tragic."

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

Knowledge blind spots.

Jian Luo choked up. He had indeed been distracted just now: "It...what was it? Wait for me to think about it."

Zhan Wentai was like an old monk in meditation, not in a hurry at all.

Jian Luo scratched his head, trying hard to recall the knowledge points he had just heard when he was slacking off, while he was hesitating whether to ask the computer.

But Zhan Wentai said, "It's a vampire."

Jian Luo suddenly looked up.

"Write down any unclear points." Zhan Wentai put down his teacup. "From now on, I'll give you a quiz every day to test your understanding of the knowledge."

???

Jian Luo reminded him in disbelief: "I think this is not prenatal education for the baby, why not wait until the baby is born to test it."

Zhan Wentai refused: "Only when you truly understand it can you understand it more thoroughly. This is the most basic aspect of prenatal education."

“…”

I feel like you're making something out of nothing.

Jian Luo was filled with grief and indignation, yet still harbored a glimmer of hope: "I want to ask, what if I fail the exam?"

Zhan Wentai frowned: "Such simple knowledge will not fail."

Jian Luo was speechless and choked: "I mean if."

"If you haven't grasped the knowledge points well enough, I'll give you extra lessons." Zhan Wentai remained calm: "It's probably because I didn't explain it thoroughly enough."

“…”

I'll ball you.

My ball, give up on me!

Jian Luo wanted to cry but had no tears, but he was sure that a heartless and old-fashioned and stubborn person like Zhan Wentai might actually be able to do something like tutoring.

Forget it, in order to finish class earlier, he should be more serious!

Zhan Wentai saw Jian Luo's face turning pale and blue, and said calmly: "Okay, you failed today's quiz. I'll explain it to you again."

good.

So for almost the entire morning and afternoon, Jian Luo was forced to immerse himself in closed-door education and couldn't extricate himself.

The afternoon quiz was finally over, and he left the temple in a hurry, as fast as he was rushing home after school.

"Are you back?"

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

Jian Luo was stunned and said vaguely: "Well, um..."

Wang Heng appraised him, his gaze gradually becoming grave. "I heard the High Priest came to see you?"

Jian Luo didn't want to hide it: "Yes."

Wang Heng's tone of voice stretched out: "You can't be..."

Jian Luo unconsciously became a little nervous, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and he stammered, "Could it be something?"

Does Wang Heng want to know that he is pregnant?

What should I do? I'm not going to ask him to teach me how to treat infertility now, am I?

Oh Cou, he doesn’t know either!

Wang Heng sneered: "You are not likely to have hooked up with the High Priest."

Jian Luo was speechless. "Please wake up, please. How can I be so pretty as to seduce the High Priest? I'm a human. Don't you Dark Star people have your own pride? Especially the High Priest, who is a rare talent. What are you thinking?"

Wang Heng sat in front of the breeding tank and said, "I didn't expect you to be so self-aware."

Jian Luo glared at him.

"But if the High Priest is willing, we won't object." Wang Heng unexpectedly changed his attitude for the first time: "After all, the High Priest has been single for hundreds of years, so it's not bad to try something new occasionally."

Taste your sister.

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

In about two or three days, it will grow into a mature chili pepper, and then it will be the day when he can end his miserable life as a cabbage.

"Ding Dong."

A prompt sound came from the information terminal.

Jian Luo clicked on the message and found it was from Secretary Jin: "Luoluo, it's almost time to get off work, right? I'll pick you up."

"It's almost down." Jian Luo replied to her: "I'll wait for you."

Secretary Jin responded happily.

Originally, the task of picking up Jian Luo should not have fallen on her, but it was because she couldn't sleep this morning, and she found out that Jian Luo was live streaming!

Woohoo, the rice crust is so delicious, it can be said to be the most delicious food in the world. Unfortunately, I didn’t draw it in the lottery, and in the end I could only quench my thirst through holograms, but it had the opposite effect. Not only did I not feel satisfied, but I wanted to eat it even more. Damn it!

Half an hour later.

Jian Luo got into Secretary Jin's car.

Secretary Jin said, "The Marshal has a meeting to attend. I'll take you in and wait for a while."

Jian Luo nodded.

Secretary Jin started hinting frantically, "Hey, Luoluo, about that one of yours. I watched your live broadcast, and the rice crust you made this morning was delicious."

Jian Luo felt a little embarrassed: "Thank you."

“…”

Secretary Jin was silent for a while: "Don't be modest, it's really delicious. It's the best thing I've eaten in a while."

Jian Luo smiled: "That's good."

Secretary Jin had given up hope. It seemed that Jian Luo could not detect her intention at all. She did not dare to say openly that she wanted to eat, otherwise the Marshal would definitely pull out her tendons if he knew.

Who knew.

Jian Luo added, "If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you next time."

? ?

Secretary Jin was overjoyed: "Really?!"

Jian Luo nodded and thought for a moment: "He's in a meeting right now, so it's okay. I'll go to the kitchen and make something to eat, and I'll get you one too."

Secretary Jin was ecstatic: "Thank you, Luoluo!"

Sob, sob, sob.

From now on, you will be the officially designated Marshal's wife in my heart.

Jian Luo lazily sat on the car seat and said casually: "No need to thank me, you have been taking good care of me. It's just a small favor."

Secretary Jin said: "This is what I should do."

"This doesn't justify my accepting help." Jian Luo's eyes held a faint smile: "Chinese people believe in give and take."

?

Secretary Jin was puzzled: "Chinese?"

Jian Luo realized that he had spoken out of turn and said vaguely, "I saw it in a book, about a country that existed before the Earth."

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

Jian Luo nodded and smiled: "I love that land."

This sounds a bit puzzling. After all, Secretary Jin thinks, how much love can a person have for the country in the book?

Many people on Earth now, after experiencing a hundred years of changes, do not have much impression or emotion about their home planet. However, when Secretary Jin looked into Jian Luo's eyes, he could clearly feel the solemnity and sincerity in those eyes.

Secretary Jin laughed and said, "I think it must be very attractive. If I have the chance, I really want to go and see it."

Jian Luo smiled: "Then it will definitely welcome you. It is a country of etiquette and full of tolerance. Even if you are an alien race, you will be treated well."

Secretary Jin was touched: "The Dark Star people are worth learning from."

"I think so."

Both of them had their own thoughts, so they chatted for a few words and then dropped the topic. The military cafeteria had strict security and was not allowed to be entered by outsiders, but Jian Luo was familiar with it as if it were his own home.

After making the rice crust, he packed the box and walked towards Lu Shifeng's office. Usually, Secretary Jin and the assistant were there.

"Verification successful, please pass."

Jian Luo passed through the light gate and walked slowly inside.

Secretary Jin was stunned when she saw him: "So fast?!"

Jian Luo, holding the lunch box, hesitated and said, "Maybe I shouldn't be so fast?"

"...No." Secretary Jin's heart suddenly tightened. "Well, Luoluo, come with me to eat over there."

Jian Luo shook his head: "I also brought some food for the Marshal. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Let's send it to him first."

Secretary Jin became even more flustered: "Hey, Luoluo, how about this? I'll take her in and you wait for me outside."

?

A question mark slowly appeared above Jian Luo's head: "What's wrong?"

Secretary Jin was in tears. No one expected that the little princess of the blood clan would come back at this time. Everyone knew that she liked the marshal. Because Jian Luo's pregnancy was not made public in order to ensure Luo Luo's personal safety, the little princess naturally came to cling to him as usual.

There are two people in the house now, who knows what will happen?

What if I go in later and accidentally see something I shouldn’t see, then I’m in trouble, right?

Secretary Jin said stubbornly, "It's not that we can't go in, but the Marshal is busy with official business right now, so..."

Jian Luo understood. He handed the lunch box to Secretary Jin: "Okay, then you can help me take it in."

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

Jian Luo nodded and was about to move to the reception room next door to rest when suddenly, the door of the office not far away suddenly opened.

There were two figures standing at the door.

Behind Lu Shifeng stood a lively and lovely girl. She said in a sweet voice, "Brother Lu, I have prepared a dish that I made carefully for you. You must eat it later."

The sound, which was not small, came through clearly and everyone could hear it.

Secretary Jin's face fell.

Lu Shifeng's gaze fell accurately on Jian Luo who was standing there. The young man today was wearing the same white shirt as that day, and looked well-behaved and cute.

Jian Luo looked up and greeted: "Hi."

The little princess's expression changed: "Who is he?"

Lu Shifeng ignored her and walked slowly to Jian Luo. The man looked down at him and said, "Come to see me?"

Jian Luo blinked innocently: "Have I interrupted your business?"

Secretary Jin's heart skipped a beat.

really.

Lu Shifeng slowly turned his head away and gave the innocent secretary a meaningful look, a half-smile on his face that made people feel a chill down their spine.

Lu Shifeng said solemnly: "No delay, I came just in time."

The little princess appeared from behind and was very curious: "Hey, you are a human, who are you? Hey, you smell so familiar."

Before Lu Shifeng could speak, Jian Luo replied, "I'm a cook."

“…”

There was a deathly silence in the air.

Lu Shifeng took the food box from Jian Luo and stood there calmly, neither denying nor admitting it.

The little princess suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

Jian Luo nodded, turned around and was about to leave: "Then you guys get busy, I'm leaving first."

"Stop." He hadn't taken two steps when Lu Shifeng's voice came from behind him. The straight-limbed man took two steps to Jian Luo's side and said, "There's a dinner party in the palace tonight. I'll take you there to have some fun."

The little princess refused: "Why are you taking the cook with you?"

It's not her fault that she was excited. Lu Shifeng has always been a loner. When did he get involved with a cook, and a human at that? Could it be that this human was doing something shameful?

Just as she was thinking about it, the little princess never expected that Jian Luo would say, "I'm not going. There's nothing fun there."

?

The little princess was shocked!

This human is so ungrateful, he rejected Lu Shifeng!

Okay, you're out of luck.

However, Lu Shifeng remained patient: "Just now, Zhan Wentai sent a message saying that he felt that some things were not explained well today. If you don't go to the cocktail party, he wants to teach you another lesson."

Jian Luo immediately changed his tone: "I really want to go to the cocktail party."

Lu Shifeng smiled and said, "Yeah."

The little princess next to him was still in shock. When she saw Lu Shifeng taking Jian Luo away, she quickly said, "Hey, Brother Lu, wait for me."

Lu Shifeng said, "Secretary Jin will take you back."

The little princess was confused: "What about you? Aren't you going back to the palace too? Aren't we on the same route?"

"Who told you it's on the way?" Lu Shifeng glanced at Jian Luo and said, "Didn't you see I still had food to eat?"

“…”

That's enough.

So the little princess left in a dreamy manner.

Jian Luo was very surprised: "Is there nothing to eat at the party? Or why don't you just not eat the food in this box?"

Lu Shifeng carried the box and said, "Let's go eat first. You won't be used to eating the food of the vampires. If you are also interested in the nutrient solution,

Jian Luo immediately changed his tone: "I want to eat too."

If the little emperor knew that someone had a big meal before going to the vampire party so as not to eat the food prepared by the party, he would probably be furious.

The reception was very grand, as it was the little princess's coming-of-age ceremony, and almost all the important figures in the empire came.

It was the first time that Jian Luo saw so many Dark Star people gathered together.

As one of the three major forces in the empire and the legitimate leader of the military, Lu Shifeng attracted everyone's attention almost as soon as he entered the scene.

Jian Luo lowered his voice: "You go and greet them, I'll go play for a while by myself."

Lu Shifeng glanced at him and said, "Don't go too far."

"Don't worry." Jian Luo relaxed after knowing that his dragon cub wasn't that fragile. "I'm not going far. I don't know anyone here."

Lu Shifeng said "hmm".

After all, there is a smell, and the dragon clan is very sensitive to smell. Knowing that Jian Luo will not leave the party, even if he is not in front of him, Lu Shifeng can easily judge Jian Luo's current condition by the smell.

Jian Luo simply wandered around by himself.

As a human being, in a place like this, you will actually attract widespread attention no matter where you go. A lot of wine was prepared for the party, but Jian Luo didn't drink it. He was pregnant with a baby, so it was best not to touch such things. After walking around the food area for a long time, he finally understood what Lu Shifeng meant.

Why do vampires never eat meat that is well-done, just like steak?

Blood was clearly visible on some of the meat, and Jian Luo could even imagine the bloody smell from a distance.

"Which potato chip is this?"

“It seems so.”

"It's made of moonlight. It smells so good."

Jian Luo heard the sound from a distance. He stopped and walked towards that direction, and sure enough, he saw the familiar potato chips.

Because he also talked about how to make potato chips during his live broadcast, I wasn't surprised that someone could make it. Instead, I was looking forward to the craftsmanship of the Dark Star man.

Just when Jian Luo wanted to take some to taste, he heard someone drawl: "Huh, human?"

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

The woman's lips curled slightly: "Although I don't know who brought you here, but your clothes are quite inappropriate, aren't they?"

Jian Luo was wearing an ordinary white shirt, which made him look a little out of place among the bright and beautiful nobles. However, he didn't care: "Then just pretend I don't exist."

The woman never expected: "You..."

Jian Luo used a pair of tongs to pick up some potato chips to try. When he bit into his mouth, the taste was actually similar, but it felt a little mushy.

The woman sneered beside him: "You have never tasted such delicious food, have you?"

Jian Luo paused.

"That's understandable. You're only human, after all." The woman said in a rather haughty tone, "Eat more. You might not be able to eat it next time."

“…”
