The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb! Chapter 360 - 295: Treating Guests to Baozi
I seriously tried to recall how Feiyan acted when I was in contact with her before, her expressions, her looks, whether she showed any signs of ’admiration’.
However, thinking back and forth, she only had one expression in my mory, a smirk with one corner of her mouth slightly raised, maintaining this sinister bad smile year-round.
"How much of her ability did you inherit?" I set aside the matter with Feiyan and focused on the question at hand.
"She’s so great, for us re mortals, inheriting one-tenth is already burning high incense! But don’t worry, I’ve been a doctor for over twenty years, nicknad the ’Gynecological Master’, your wife is in safe hands with , guaranteed mother and child peace!"
"Wait...what? Mother and child peace?" What in the world? And she’s been living abroad, how does she know so many local phrases?
"What? You want them to be unsafe?" Duoli looked at suspiciously, as if seeing...a scumbag?
I looked at my own body uncertainly, then asked confidently, "Did you get it wrong? I called you here to check on my bloodline successor."
"No mistake, she’s your wife, already pregnant, I’m here to conduct a pregnancy check-up." Duoli said matter-of-factly.
"Bi Shi said that?" I gritted my teeth secretly.
"Oh, she didn’t say it directly but it was almost what she ant, haha~ I was too curious, originally I had a patient about to give birth at the clinic, but as soon as I heard the number one on the straight won list went bent, I rushed over imdiately."
"Ha, then you’re going to be disappointed, my... wife, he’s a man." That woman Bi Shi is just spreading rumors about ; if she’s unkind to , I can’t be righteous to her!
"What? A ma...man?"
"Yeah, Bi Shi even competed with , but she lost miserably, and finally, I won the handso man and she left for abroad in heartbreak."
"Oh~ so that’s how it is."
"And now, as soon as she heard my wife wasn’t feeling well, she imdiately invited you to check-up. I think she can’t forget the old feelings, alas, if not for my wife, I wouldn’t ask for her help."
"Ah~ who would’ve thought the cold Lord Priest could be so infatuated."
"Yeah, I really hope she’ll find her own happiness soon."
"That’s not hard; I know a lot of people from our clan, my patients, I can mobilize them to find a lover for Lord Priest."
"That would be wonderful, thank you, Duoli."
"Don’t ntion it; I love helping people."
I smiled on the surface, but laughed hysterically inside; let’s see Bi Shi awaiting her matchmaking season!
Duoli also ntioned the current status of our clan; most have already integrated into modern society, just like ordinary people, having jobs and friends, but unfortunately, most are still single dogs.
Being unable to reproduce remains a significant issue; hence, in the eyes of those around us, our clanspeople are basically aged single young won, or at best, big oranges.
"Oh~ I’ve researched for years as the Gynecological Master and still couldn’t solve the clan’s infertility issue, ashad."
"Then you still believe my successor can get pregnant?"
"Of course, dicine needs miracles, and miracles have appeared before; I can’t miss any possibilities. Even if the child isn’t yours, once inheritance succeeds, it counts as your nominal descendant."
No, I refuse to be a sudden dad!
"Stay at the hotel for now; tonight I’ll show you a miracle."
Chen Qinghan isn’t one of our kind; his successful inheritance is also a miracle.
anwhile, Cong Zhibo is still lying in the hospital without signs of waking up; I’ve only kept him alive, which may not be a good thing for him unless another miracle happens in the future to turn things around.
I picked Duoli up from the airport and drove straight to a hotel near where I live. In the afternoon, I treated her to a al at my breakfast shop.
Though it’s called a breakfast shop, it actually operates all day, with different foods sold in the morning, noon, and evening.
This was Bai Yun’s idea; she said only selling breakfast wasn’t economical; tool people also need to eat, and they have rent to pay.
Business has been good lately; she feels the all-day operation is feasible. So they sell buns in the morning, noodles at noon, and rice dishes at night, and Xiangyang still helps deliver food when it’s too busy.
Just like how I work tirelessly, Bai Yun and her tool people are also superhuman in stamina, sleeping only two to four hours a night. If it weren’t for fearing neighbors discovering sothing amiss, I ordered them to close at 8 pm and only start work at 5 am; they might have fitted in cooking for night-ti sales.
If people found out they worked 20-hour days, every day, year in and year out, full of energy and unbothered, it would certainly raise suspicions.
Duoli was easy to fool; she ca all the way here just to be won over by Rou Bao. She couldn’t stop praising how delicious Bai Yun’s buns were, far better than what she’d had abroad.
I said it was because Bai Yun was obsessed with food shows — "Eating in Huaxia", "A Bite of Huaxia", "A Detailed Explanation of Huaxia’s Eight Major Cuisines", and loved gathering recipes of folk delicacies.
When she cooks, she uses carefully selected ingredients and precise amounts, like mixing explosives in a lab, hence there are almost no failures, only levels of satisfactory, pretty good, and extrely delicious.
Duoli alone ate three trays of soup dumplings, plus a bowl of millet porridge, a braised egg, and a cup of milk tea.
The milk tea in the shop is brewed by tool, made with real tea and milk without any flavoring, using xylitol instead of sugar; though a bit expensive, it’s cheaper than comrcial street ones, sweet but not cloying, loved by young girls.
After the al, I took Duoli to the hotel; newly arrived, she was excited. I advised her to rest in the room, but she refused and insisted I show her around.
The Capital has many attractions, and naturally, I had to fulfill my duty as a host, taking her around the key spots in the two rings of the city center.
She walked and took pictures all along, occasionally snapped a selfie. When she found beautiful sights, she would insist on taking photos with . I thought it was for photos, but it turned out to be for a video.
No, to be precise, it was a live stream!
She started a live stream with the website full of foreign languages and comnts in foreign tongue. She chirped at the cara, essentially saying she was visiting beautiful Huaxia today, exploring famous spots with her ’idol’.
Her fans seed very interested in ; I saw strings of questions in the comnts, asking who I am, if I’m a celebrity.
Duoli teased them by saying I was her hero in her heart. Even with my thick skin, facing so many viewers, I felt a bit embarrassed, thinking if I’d known earlier, I’d have put on a red cape to et the public as a hero.
"Leng, they’re asking if they can add you as a friend." After finishing the live stream, Duoli went through comnts, asking while flipping through them.
"Add what friends? Oh, have them connect to my live stream room and give so likes." There’s no one who doesn’t use free resources; my animal ’abuse’ videos need positive energy.
