Chapter 39: Pregnancy-Protecting Soup



Jian Luo looked at her, and a smile gradually appeared in his dark eyes.

The woman was inexplicably annoyed by his gaze: "What are you looking at? Am I wrong?"

"It seems that you think highly of potato chips." Jian Luo said slowly: "Then you should eat more."

The woman felt that Jian Luo's words were sarcastic: "What do you mean?"

Jian Luo put down the plate: "It's not interesting, just take care of yourself."

He turned around and was about to leave, but before he had taken two steps, he ran into Jieyue, who came over happily: "Luoluo!"

Jian Luo looked at her: "You are here too."

"Of course, I'd really like to come and play." Jieyue was also quite honest. "But, more importantly, I still have to observe the market. Many of the food today are new to Yuese. I heard you were coming, so I arranged it according to your taste. What do you think of these potato chips?"

Jian Shi said frankly, "Not bad, but the heat needs to be improved."

Jie Yue's eyes were beaming with joy. "It seems like they've really learned half of the skills. Okay, I'll let them watch and improve when we get back."

The woman next to him was confused.

She knew Moonlight and had heard of it, and she also knew that potato chips were delicious, but when these things were put together, why did she feel so confused?

Just as Jian Luo was about to leave, the woman grabbed Jie Yue's arm and said, "Hey, who is that person?"

"Him?" Jie Yue repeated, looking at Jian Luo's back with a mysterious smile on her face. "Don't you know? He was the first to invent these potato chips."

?

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

Jie Yue smiled and said, "You didn't say anything stupid just now, did you?"

The woman's face was covered in blue and white, which looked very funny. She hesitated for a while, shocked and not knowing what to say.

Not far away, Jian Luo continued to shop and eat.

His stomach gets hungry quickly now, and the strange thing is that he feels full after just a few bites, but he will be hungry again soon.

It just so happened that the entire party was basically filled with half-cooked meat, which is what the vampires like. Although Yue Se specially prepared food, except for potato chips and other puffed foods, the other vegetables were simply tasteless.

He was strolling around when he heard some noise not far away.

At the front, in the main hall of the imperial palace, a woman slowly walked down. She was the protagonist of tonight, the little princess. She was wearing a fluffy embroidered skirt, and her vampire skin was as white as snow. Under the light, she did not look like an ordinary person.

The whole audience held their breath.

The little princess bowed to everyone and announced slowly, "I'm very grateful to all the guests for coming. You're doing me a great favor by having fun and enjoying yourself."

The crowd clapped slowly.

The little princess raised her head proudly and said, "We have already held a moon-viewing banquet in the center of the lake not far away. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy it together."

Everyone started to move and headed towards the so-called center of the lake.

Jian Luo was confused. Just as he was thinking, Lu Shifeng's voice rang out beside him: "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Jian Luo followed beside him, asking a soul-searching question: "What's the point of the Moon Viewing Banquet? Can't we enjoy it here?"

Lu Shifeng's lips curled up into a smile: "I don't mind if you speak louder, it's better for everyone to hear."

“…”

Jian Luo curled his lips.

I kept complaining in my heart.

Because he was standing next to Lu Shifeng, he attracted a lot of people's attention. Jian Shi really couldn't stand being stared at like that all the time, so he consciously slowed down his pace and tried to keep some distance from Lu Shifeng.

However, the Marshal was not as he wished.

Jian Luo took a few steps back and Lu Shifeng turned around.

The tall man suddenly stopped, and Jian Luo lowered his head and almost bumped into him. Lu Shifeng said, "Give me your hand."

Jian Luo raised his hand in confusion.

Lu Shifeng held his hand: "Let's go."

Unlike Jian Nan's slender, white palms, Lu Shifeng's palms and fingertips were covered with a thin layer of calluses, which even felt a little like dragon scales at first touch.

Jian Luo said: "I can walk by myself."

Lu Shifeng ignored him: "We have to get seats at the banquet in the lake. If you don't want to stand, just follow."

"……oh."

Jian Luo followed him obediently. In fact, this feeling was quite strange. He had never been held hands by anyone since he was a child. The last person who held his hand was probably a fortune teller at a roadside stall.

Apart from that, he actually held hands with Lu Shifeng, although it seemed that the Marshal was just taking him to find a position.

We have arrived at the Pavilion in the Lake.

In the large round plate in the middle, a statue of a god is enshrined vividly. It has a rather strange posture, with dragon horns on its head, but its hair is as red as a phoenix, there are small fangs at the corners of its mouth, and its face looks a bit like a shrewd Pixiu.

Lu Shifeng said to him, "This is the national beast."

Jian Luo seemed to understand, and gave a cheesy explanation: "Mascot?"

“…”

Lu Shifeng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "You can say that."

The banquet tables were arranged from top to bottom. Lu Shifeng had a high status and should have sat in the front to be admired, but this was unnecessary for the commoner Jian Luo.

Seeing that they were going upstairs, Jian Luo was not very happy: "Forget it, you go by yourself, I will find a place for myself downstairs."

Lu Shifeng asked, "What do you like?"

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, looked around, and tried to pick an inconspicuous one: "I think that place is suitable."

"Okay." Lu Shifeng took him there: "Just sit there."

???

Big brother, please don’t mess with me.

This isn't a problem of location at all, okay? This is your problem. You, a living person, are placed there, and you attract attention wherever you go!

Jian Luo was afraid of him: "Forget it, let's go sit in the front."

Lu Shifeng lowered his head, his profile as handsome as a knife: "Not changing places?"

"It doesn't matter." Jian Luo sighed: "Anyway, when I'm a broadcaster, more people are watching me. I'll just get used to this little scene."

A smile appeared on Lu Shifeng's lips.

The two of them walked to the front, where the VIP seats were. The first person Jian Luo saw was Zhan Wentai, and then he thought of the fear of being dominated by studying. The feeling was no less than suddenly seeing his own head teacher.

The little emperor sat on the main throne. Wait, the little emperor?

Jian Luo's eyes widened. He had guessed before that this child might be of a noble family, but who could have known that the boy who ate stinky tofu before was actually the noble emperor?

The little emperor noticed Jian Luo's gaze and smiled at him with his pointed little teeth, which looked very cute.

“…”

Your Majesty, you hid it very well.

Jian Luo sat down next to Lu Shifeng, and then found that the food table in front was very interesting. There was a switch underneath. After clicking it, the table with the food would automatically turn into a cooking table in the kitchen. You can choose the meat and grill it yourself.

Nice.

To be honest, the food cooked by the vampires is really not good, so he still has to cook for himself to have enough food and clothing.

Just as he was enjoying himself, a female voice suddenly came from not far away: "I heard that Marshal Lu's young chef is very good. Can you show him to us?"

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

The princess sat on the highest platform, looking over provocatively, full of hostility and resistance.

“…”

Princess, why bother?

The little emperor said, "Aiya, stop messing around."

"Why am I being so silly?" Princess Aiya said unhappily. "Brother Lu is very picky. If this catches his eye, it means the little chef is really talented."

Nie Yan sat down and looked at Jian Luo.

Princess Aiya teased, "I remember Brother Nie said that all the famous chefs in the world are in the moonlight, so why didn't he enter?"

The richest man didn't seem to mind being named. Nie Yan played with his wine glass with one hand: "Hmm? How does the princess know he's not?"

Princess Aiya was stunned: "Is he the moon color?"

"To be precise," Zhan Wentai on the left said coldly, "He is now from Phoenix TV and works for me."

Nie Yan sneered, "It's only temporary."

The two were still arguing, and Lu Shifeng took out a small snuff bottle from his pocket and gave it to Jian Luo: "Take a puff."

Jane landed on the barbecue and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"It helps you suppress the smell of blood." Lu Shifeng said calmly: "Try it."

Jian Luo was very curious about this high-tech thing. He took it. The small bottle was icy cold all over, and there was a faint mint scent when he put it to his nose.

"It smells good." Jian Luo had just smelled the bloody smell of barbecue and felt a little uncomfortable, but now he felt much better: "It really works."

Lu Shifeng retracted his gaze: "Then keep it."

Their every move was closely watched by those above them, but from the little princess's perspective, she could only see that Jian Luo had collected something, but she couldn't see clearly what it was.

The little princess looked at Jian Luo grilling meat and curled her lips: "The technique is not right."

The other nobles were also paying attention to Jian Luo. The blood clan had rules for barbecuing meat. They valued elegance and dignity, not Jian Luo's way of roasting meat over and over again until it was well done.

Although no one said it, they all secretly despised him in their hearts.

The little emperor gently tugged at Aiya's hand, his eyes darkening. "It doesn't matter to others, but don't make trouble for Luoluo."

Aiya couldn't believe it!

Lu Shifeng is fine, but have these two people been drugged? Even his own royal brother has this attitude?

Aiya snorted coldly: "I don't know whose birthday it is."

Jian Luo, who was not far away, continued to grill meat. He was very skilled at it. In the past, his family was poor and could not afford meat. Even if there was meat, he would not eat it, so he learned to go to the mountains to get some fish, pheasant and other things to fill his stomach.

After doing it many times, his grilling technique became very skillful, which was completely different from the Dark Star people's fierce grilling method.

Jian Luo moved closer to Lu Shifeng: "Do you have any seasoning?"

Lu Shifeng lowered his head: "What?"

“…”

Well, definitely not.

The aroma of barbecue slowly spread out. Jian Luo took out a bag of salt from his pocket and sprinkled it on the meat. It would definitely be more delicious if some chili powder was added at this time.

The series of techniques are so natural and skillful that it makes people feel distressed.

The aroma of barbecue made almost all the vampires who were used to eating half-cooked food look over here frequently, and they were all unconsciously curious about this place.

Jian Luo took the vegetable leaves beside him, rolled up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth: "Hmm... delicious."

Lu Shifeng had to look at him.

"It's delicious." Jian Luo swallowed the piece of meat, ready to ease the fear of being dominated by half-cooked meat, and took the initiative to say to Lu Shifeng: "Want to eat it? I'll make you one."

Seeing that he had something to do, Lu Shifeng agreed: "Let's pack it."

Jian Luo quickly wrapped another one for Lu Shifeng with vegetables. To avoid dirtying Lu Shifeng's hands, she simply held it herself and looked at him with bright eyes: "Lower your head a little."

Lu Shifeng leaned down.

Jian Luo stuffed it into his mouth, and after finishing it, he acted as if coaxing Xiaolong: "Is it delicious?"

Lu Shifeng finished chewing slowly and nodded slightly: "Not bad."

yeah!

The Chinese nation's barbecue skills are recognized.

The other nobles were stunned. In my lifetime, in my lifetime series, is this still the same Marshal Lu who had a cold face but saw all his troops reduced to ashes?

This is too much pampering!

Nie Yan said from a distance, "Luoluo."

Jian Luo looked up: "Boss?"

"Now that this is ready, why don't you give it to the boss to try?" Nie Yan pushed up his glasses. "After all, I'm still a Yuese person."

Jian Luo looked at him.

Nie Yan stood up, walked over in a few steps, and leaned over: "Pack one for me."

No, I don't have enough to eat.

Jian Luo perfunctorily picked the smallest piece of meat, wrapped it in vegetables, and handed it to Nie Yan: "Boss, this is for you."

Nie Yan was very surprised: "Aren't you going to feed me?"

Jian Luo was even more puzzled: "Why, don't you have your own hands?"

Lu Shifeng's shoulders trembled.

Nie Yan took the barbecued meat and vegetable bun and took a bite. His eyes lit up and he nodded approvingly: "Not bad."

A military commander and the world's richest man, both said it was delicious after eating it.

Coupled with this tempting, damnable aroma, the other vampires, who had already been greedy for a long time, had to stare at it.

The little emperor also came down. The child looked soft and cute, and was very eager: "Luoluo, Luoluo, I want to eat too."

Jian Luo had no resistance to children, so he quickly wrapped the biggest piece of meat and said, "Come on."

The little emperor opened his mouth wide and said "Awooo", chewed twice, his cheeks rising and falling: "Good, really good."

I ate them all.

Princess Aiya above couldn't sit still at all.

Dark Star people are born to love food, especially since they themselves do not secrete dopamine, but food can promote the secretion of dopamine, so their love for food is engraved in their bones.

Princess Aiya raised her face and said, "It's so good. Give it to me to try."

Jian Luo raised his eyelids to look at her, but ignored her, pretending not to hear, and continued to wrap food for himself.

Aiya waited for a while and found that no one paid attention to her. She looked carefully and found that Jian Luo didn't even pay attention to her!

The little princess took a deep breath and said stubbornly: "What's the big deal? If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it."

Jian Luo still ignored him.

Barbecue should be eaten in a variety of ways. It is boring to just eat the meat.

"Can I eat that fish?" Jian Luo pointed at the fish on Lu Shifeng's table not far away: "No, forget it."

Lu Shifeng didn't like fish to begin with: "I'll give it all to you."

The fish had been processed and its internal organs had been cleaned. Jian Luo sprinkled salt evenly on it, pierced the fish with long chopsticks, and roasted it directly on the fire.

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

The aroma of the fish slowly spread, truly tempting the taste buds. Jian Luo felt it was too hot, so she decided to start with Lu Shifeng: "Would you like to try it?"

Seeing that he hadn't taken a single bite, Lu Shifeng said, "Eat it yourself."

"I'm afraid of the heat." Jian Luo said honestly: "You eat first."

“…”

Lu Shifeng looked at him silently and sneered.

Jian felt intimidated, and felt that the Marshal's aura seemed a little bad, so he decisively said honestly: "Forget it, forget it, I'll eat it myself."

He was just about to blow on it when the fish in his hand suddenly shook, as if something had fallen on it, and its temperature dropped sharply.

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

The high priest, who was sitting as steady as a mountain and wearing a pure white robe, said calmly, "It's not hot anymore, you can eat it."

?

Jian Luo took a tentative bite and found that it was not hot anymore. It was really magical. It turned out that the phoenix really had magical powers.

After finishing the fish in his mouth, Jian Luo mouthed to Zhan Wentai: "Thank you."

Zhan Wentai nodded slightly at him.

Sitting at the table, Jian Luo thought for a moment and felt that he should not owe anyone a favor, so he simply took another piece of barbecue and fried it on the table, because the high priest was not far away from him, with Lu Shifeng in between.

Jian Luo gently poked Lu Shifeng.

The Marshal lowered his head condescendingly and stared at Jian Luo: "What's the matter?"

Could it be that because he saw that I liked it, he sent me another plate of barbecue?

The Marshal has a very divergent mindset.

"That." Jian Luo held the small plate in his hand and said softly, "Please pass it to the High Priest for me."

“…”

There was a moment of silence in the air.

After a while.

Lu Shifeng reached out to take the plate and handed it to Zhan Wentai next to him.

The High Priest took the plate and nodded reservedly at Jian Luo: "Thank you."

Jian Luo smiled and said, "As I should."

After all, you are my teacher. How can I not try to please you? If you always want to give me extra lessons every day, then I will be in trouble!

Everyone was in harmony, and the whole cocktail party was almost coming to an end.

When the cocktail party was over, Jian Luo was full when she heard Lu Shifeng say, "Let's sleep in the palace tonight. The house outside hasn't been fully decorated yet."

Jian Luo had no objection: "Okay."

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

As soon as the door of the room was opened and he stepped on the soft carpet, it felt as soft as if he was stepping on clouds. Even the coffin that almost scared him away that morning was gone.

Lu Shifeng said, "Go wash up first."

"Hmm?" Jian Luo turned around: "Then I'll go, you should go back early too."

Lu Shifeng walked in as a matter of course: "No hurry, go take a shower first."

?

A question mark popped up above Jian Luo's head, but he didn't dare to say or ask what Lu Shifeng wanted to do.

Anyway, he wouldn't have any thoughts about me, right? Wasn't it said that the last incident was the dragon's mating season?

Jian Luo didn't think much about it: "Okay, then I'm going to take a shower."

There was a bathroom in the house. Jian Luo walked in and took a quick shower. When he came out, he thought the Marshal had left, but he never expected that Lu Shifeng had not left. The man in a neat suit was sitting lazily on the sofa, with his long legs wearing military boots, looking stern and handsome.

Jian Luo stood still: "Why are you..."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door. A maid knocked on the door: "Marshal, the food is ready."

Lu Shifeng said slowly: "Bring it in."

A maid in a maid outfit walked in with small steps, put down the medicine on the tray, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, enjoy it slowly."

Jian Luo lowered his head and looked at the green water in the bowl. The water was actually bubbling. It looked exactly like the bowl of "Dalang Drinking Potion" on the day he first traveled through time.

Lu Shifeng said, "This is a nutritious soup specially prepared for you."

Jian Luo sat on the sofa, very skeptical: "Nutritional soup? Tonic or something?"

"It's for nourishment." Lu Shifeng said slowly, "You're too weak. The cub will grow up slowly and absorb too much of your nutrients. You won't be able to bear it."

“…”

If it were him, Jian Luo would have said with confidence that he would never drink it. He hated drinking any potion since he was a child, and it was impossible for him to drink it now.

But, but now he still has a few little ones in his belly. It’s okay for him, but what if these little ones don’t have enough to eat.

I am not a female dragon to begin with, so I cannot provide a good environment for my cubs. Now that I have acquired ways to make up for it, it is not impossible to give it a try.

Think about this.

Jian Luo sighed: "Then I'll drink it."

He picked up the nutrient solution and took a sip. He originally wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but a fishy smell came out, which was so sour and refreshing that it was unbearable for ordinary people.

"puff……"

All the nutrient solution was vomited out.

Jian Luo rushed into the bathroom and rinsed his mouth before coming out. He leaned against the door and frowned, "What's that smell?"

Lu Shifeng explained to him: "This is the nutrient water prepared for you by the hospital based on your condition."

Jane really couldn't drink it: "Then leave it there, I'll drink it later."

“…”

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Jian Luo tried hard to keep a calm expression on his face, giving Lu Shi the illusion that "I am really a very well-behaved person and will not cause any trouble at all."

a while

The Marshal nodded: "Okay."

Jian Luo was overjoyed: "Well, then you should go back quickly, and be careful on the way back."

Lu Shifeng: "You seem very happy."

"Hmm?" Jian Luo's smile froze on his face, and he said dryly, "You're seeing things."

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

To be on the safe side, Jian Luo waited until he felt there was no movement outside before he dared to take action. It wasn't that he didn't want to drink it, but if he finished drinking this thing, he might have to vomit his stomach out today.

Picking up the bowl of medicine on the table, Jian Luo walked to the bathroom in small steps, poured the whole bowl of water into the toilet, and pressed the flush button directly to say goodbye completely.

After doing all this, Jian Luo clapped his hands happily, walked out with a swagger, and gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

However, almost as he stepped out of the door, his steps stopped.

At the door, Lu Shifeng left and returned. The man leaned against the door and looked at Jian Luo leisurely: "Come out?"

“…”
