Lu Chukong took Zhaozhao and Taotie to a restaurant and generously treated these two poor kids with empty pockets to a hearty meal.
"Ah! So comfortable～" Taotie buried his head and finished his third set meal. Ignoring the surprised looks from the people around, he boldly stretched out his hand. "One more!"
Zhaozhao felt a bit embarrassed. She had a deep understanding of how much Taotie could eat through that online shopping spree. She didn't know how much this would cost Lu Chukong.
"Sorry. I'll pay you back for the meal." Although it might take quite a while...
However, Lu Chukong didn't care at all. He just waved his hand, telling Zhaozhao not to take it to heart. Then he stared at Zhaozhao with shining eyes.
Come on, these two were like the gods of wealth sent from heaven! What were these meal expenses compared to that?
Ever since Lu Chukong remembered that Taotie was Zhaozhao's spiritual pet, his opinion of Zhaozhao's plan to become a food blogger had changed. He whole - heartedly supported it.
Watching Taotie finish another set meal, Lu Chukong kept muttering in his heart, "It's a sure thing!"
"Are you done eating? If so, let's talk about business." Lu Chukong propped his chin and asked Zhaozhao with a smile.
Zhaozhao glanced at Taotie, who had started a new round of "conquest," and hesitated.
"Hey, you're the master, not it. Don't worry about it! It seems it won't finish eating for a while. Let's talk first." Lu Chukong said indifferently. As expected, he received a warning look from Taotie.
"Kid, I advise you to watch your mouth. Although I've eaten your food, it doesn't mean you can be disrespectful to the great Taotie."
Originally, this speech was quite intimidating. It was a pity that this glutton was so absorbed in the delicious food that his mouth was greasy and there were still rice grains on it. With his childish appearance, he looked so funny, like a kid pretending to be an adult.
Lu Chukong covered his mouth tightly and forced his eyes away from Taotie, barely managing not to burst out laughing on the spot and get killed by the ancient fierce beast.
"Hey, eat slowly. You look like a dirty bun." Zhaozhao had no time to pay attention to Lu Chukong. She took a tissue and wiped Taotie's mouth.
After wiping Taotie's mouth, she turned to Lu Chukong and said seriously, "You just said you would teach us how to be food bloggers. Can you tell us now?"
Lu Chukong gave a charming smile. "Of course. But I have a condition."
"What condition?"
The two sat at the table and talked face - to - face. Lu Chukong kindly handed Zhaozhao a glass of juice, asking her to drink while listening to him slowly.
Well, after all, she was the apple of Lord Yinglong's eye, and he wanted to recruit her into his business. Of course, he had to take good care of her.
Their relationship was as pure as it could be. The problem was that there was still Taotie in the form of a little boy sitting beside them. At first glance, the three of them looked so harmonious and warm, just like a family.
Maybe demons were naturally more gossiping than humans. A little lark girl in the restaurant took a picture of this warm scene and casually posted it on a social networking platform with the caption:
"Wuwuwu. I met a family of three while having a meal. The baby is so cute, the mom is so beautiful, and the dad is so handsome! If marriage can be this happy, I'm willing! (Just a casual shot. If it bothers you, you can contact me to delete it.)"
Sometimes things just happened to be so coincidental. This lark was a somewhat famous music blogger. After she posted it, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
At the same time, some careful netizens noticed that the "mom" in the picture looked so much like the other protagonist of the rumored couple.
The popularity quietly rose. Fufeng, a net - surfing expert who was taking a break from his busy schedule, calmly liked this post and sighed, "Humph, the hateful miser Su. This time you're in trouble. Hehe, your home has been stolen!"
The "miser Su" Fufeng mentioned was busy searching for Zhaozhao through the induction of the dragon scales at this time and had no idea that netizens had "planted a whole Siberian prairie" on his head online.
However, Su Yuan came back empty - handed again. Just as he sensed Zhaozhao's aura in the demon world, the feeling disappeared the next second.
Because of the previous incidents, Su Yuan was almost suffering from PTSD about suddenly losing track of someone. He was worried that something might happen to Zhaozhao.
Su Yuan calmed down and asked Zhaozhao through the connection between their half - hearts, "Zhaozhao, where are you?"
At this moment, Zhaozhao, who was dazzled by a variety of live - streaming equipment, was startled when she suddenly heard a voice in her heart. She covered her heart and stood there blankly.
It seemed to be... Su Yuan's voice?
Su Yuan, who didn't get a response there, asked again. Then Zhaozhao remembered that there was half of Su Yuan's dragon heart in her body. She silently replied, "I'm in the demon world. It's so lively here!"
Su Yuan thought to himself that of course he knew she was in the demon world. What he wanted to ask was where exactly in the demon world.
However, before he could ask the question, he heard Zhaozhao babbling on, "I have a big thing to do! I'm shopping now. I won't talk to you anymore. Anyway, I'm safe. Don't worry about me. Bye!" Then she forcibly cut off the connection.
Yes, forcibly cut off.
Since Zhaozhao came back after being injured last time, Su Yuan had noticed that Zhaozhao was gradually able to freely control the power hidden in the half - dragon heart. At the same time, a gentle and powerful force wrapped around her heart. When Zhaozhao wanted to, it would block the induction between Su Yuan and her heart.
Su Yuan didn't really care about this situation before, but now he suddenly felt a bit depressed.
Zhaozhao had actively cut off the connection with him. This had never happened before, and she didn't want to tell him where she was. Why?
He couldn't figure it out. He just felt extremely uncomfortable and bitter.
The phone in his pocket rang. He answered it with a gloomy face. It was Nanjia.
"Um, cough! Boss, where are you?"
"I'm near the Demon Financial Center in the demon world. What's up?" His tone was cold and there was a hint of anger hidden in it. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
"Oh, ah... I see... Are you looking for Zhaozhao?"
"Yes."
Nanjia thought as expected. She glanced at the post on Gu Qing's phone beside her and carefully asked, "Have you found her?"
Mentioning this, Su Yuan's aura dropped suddenly. He remained silent.
This reaction gave Nanjia a headache.
"Boss, why don't you go to Fujin Mall?"
Because of Su Yuan and the "Lady of the Dragon Lord," the post was being updated in real - time by the melon - eating crowd in the demon world. Someone had already taken pictures of Zhaozhao and Lu Chukong shopping in Fujin.
Su Yuan didn't ask Nanjia why she told him to go to Fujin because he saw a flash of a hot news push on his phone. The exaggerated title was hard for Su Yuan to ignore.
"Lord Yinglong's little beloved wife has a night gathering with a mysterious handsome man. Is she having an affair?!"
Great. He was going to see how handsome this so - called handsome man was that he had lured their Zhaozhao out for a night out!
