Chapter 734: Chapter 730: Another Great Thing

Leisure days flashed by, and in the morning, when the radiant sunshine bathed the whole of Modu, the city too awoke from its slumber, engulfed in a vibrant spirit that pervaded this international metropolis.

Lu Tianxing yawned, his face etched with fatigue as he walked out of the room, feeling utterly weary and drained.

Since his return to Modu the day before, he hadn’t had a good rest. First, he was dragged by Mandala and Bai Weiwei to play tennis all afternoon. It was supposed to be a simple best-of-three-sets match, then home, but after roughing up Bai Weiwei, she wouldn’t let him leave and insisted on playing more, claiming she was out of form which was why she lost.

As if that weren’t enough, these two girls seemed to have conspired; when Bai Weiwei ran out of steam, Mandala took over. They waged a relentless tag team battle against him, determined to beat him without allowing him to surrender, forbidding him from using True Qi. The ordeal nearly drove him to the brink.

And that wasn’t all, somehow He Cailan, that old lady, had noticed something different about Bai Zhiqing. After dinner, she painstakingly lectured Bai Zhiqing on various childbirth-related topics for over two hours. When Bai Zhiqing returned to her room, she gave him cold looks, derailing his plans for having children altogether. Worse still, Bai Zhiqing kept seducing him, then menacingly brandishing scissors; any move he made was met with her teary, aggrieved expression, as if he had committed some atrocious deed.

Shaking his head, Lu Tianxing, with a defeated look, headed downstairs. As he caught sight of the situation in the living room, his face turned wildly, and he instinctively spun around to head back upstairs.

At that moment, in the living room, Bai Zhiqing was sitting there, her face flushed with embarrassment, her cheeks so red they seemed to drip, while He Cailan was eagerly asking her questions, with Bai Weiwei and Mandala sitting by like curious babies, occasionally chiming in with their thoughts.

"Tianxing, you’re up too."

Just as he planned to sneak upstairs while no one in the living room had noticed him, He Cailan’s voice already rang in his ear.

Lu Tianxing stiffened, turned awkwardly, and said, "Good morning, Grandma."

"You’re also up so early, my dear, don’t you know it’s better to sleep a bit more in the morning to have energy for work?"

He Cailan reproachfully glanced at Lu Tianxing: "You guys just returned from Xiangjiang, you should rest more, why get up so early?"

Lu Tianxing instantly broke into a cold sweat; the old lady’s insinuation was clear: they should take advantage of the peaceful morning to get busy making babies.

"Grandma, isn’t it Monday today? I need to go to work. Otherwise, how will I provide for Zhiqing?" Lu Tianxing hurriedly explained.

"Brother-in-law, you’re lying. Sister has more money than you’ve got body hair, how can you still need to provide for her? Besides, the company you work for belongs entirely to her, so is your going to work really that important? Or do you think working is more important than having babies?" Bai Weiwei fanned the flames from the side.

"Weiwei’s right. Oh, Grandma, since my brother and Sister Zhiqing are both downstairs, isn’t it about time to bring out the good stuff you’ve been simmering in the pot? I think the timing is just perfect," Mandala chimed in then.

"Oh dear, look at my memory. Manman, if you hadn’t reminded me, Grandma almost forgot. Tianxing, just wait a bit, Grandma made you something special this morning; I’ll go to the kitchen and bring it out for you," He Cailan smacked her head and said cheerfully.

After speaking, He Cailan stood up and headed straight for the kitchen.

Seeing He Cailan’s expression, Lu Tianxing’s face suddenly changed, and a foreboding feeling erupted from his heart. If he remembered correctly, the last time He Cailan had stewed a pot of turtle soup for him with that same smile, saying it was something good, it had almost killed him.

"Manman, you don’t know what grandma has stewed, can you tell me in advance?" Lu Tianxing asked Mandala anxiously.

"Brother, stop overthinking it; it’s just some pig trotters. Oh, come on, what’s with that look? Are you doubting me? If you don’t believe it, ask Weiwei, isn’t it pig trotters?" Mandala said, laughing hehe.

"Yes, yes, Manman is right, they’re definitely pig trotters and really delicious too."

Bai Zhiqing nodded her head repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and in order to verify the truthfulness of her words, she even swallowed a mouthful of saliva, indicating her own craving.

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Weiwei and Mandala, but his instinct told him it wasn’t just pig trotters.

Right at that moment, He Cailan came out of the kitchen holding a small porcelain pot, a faint medicinal fragrance wafting out.

"Grandma, what is this really, why is there also a medicinal smell?" Lu Tianxing asked cautiously. He had guessed right, perhaps the pig trotters were merely an addition.

He Cailan placed the small pot on the table, smiling amiably, "This is a medicinal meal. Tianxing, you might not know, but Manman actually has medical skills, extraordinarily brilliant ones. Recently, your grandfather has been complaining about back pain, right? It was Manman who cured him with two prescriptions. Even some old friends of your grandfather had minor ailments that Manman cured. Manman’s prescription even earned applause from those old doctors. This prescription is specifically for you two, it can increase the chance of having a boy. Regardless, you and Zhiqing must finish it this morning."

Hearing He Cailan’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face fell, just as he thought.

Bai Zhiqing’s face also flushed, and she stealthily pinched Lu Tianxing’s thigh under the table, blaming him. If it weren’t for him, how could He Cailan have noticed her discomfort in walking, and why would she specifically stew a pot of medicinal meal in the early morning?

Lu Tianxing looked at the small pot of medicinal meal and swallowed nervously, "Grandma, this is the twenty-first century, we should believe in science. Whether we have a boy or a girl is entirely determined by our genes, not by a small medicinal meal. We should trust in science."

Hearing Lu Tianxing question her capabilities, Mandala took offense, "Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on Chinese medicine? There are many things that science can’t explain, and besides, don’t you know that somewhere in the deep mountains of China, they rely on an ancient prescription to control the gender ratio? So, Chinese medicine is definitely feasible."

"That’s right, Manman is absolutely correct. If Chinese medicine were pointless, it wouldn’t have been passed down for five thousand years," He Cailan chimed in.

Seeing how adamant the old lady was, Lu Tianxing gave a wry smile. It seemed he couldn’t refuse; who knows what else they might come up with. He might as well eat it!

After all, he and Bai Zhiqing had already made actual progress, and Bai Zhiqing had agreed to have children. Eating it wouldn’t be a big deal. Although Mandala was famous worldwide for her poison skills, her medical skills were equally remarkable. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be known as a fearsome poison master. To become a poison master, the most important thing was to understand the compatibility of various drugs, only then could she formulate all kinds of potent poisons.
