I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 55: It can prolong life?

“Black Tortoise City? I haven’t heard of a big city with this name nearby.” Yue Feiyan tilted her head and thought.

“I would also like to know what Black Tortoise City is like.”

A faint male voice came from behind the red-haired girl.

Yue Feiyan’s forehead trembled, and by listening to the voice, she didn’t need to turn her head to know who it was.

She couldn’t help but hold her forehead and said in a low voice, “Lu Chuan, it’s you again, you’re a butt-head, how come you’re everywhere.”

“I heard someone say that you brought someone here for lunch, so I came to see.”

Lu Chuan appeared at the table and squinted at Mu Liang and the others.

“Do you also need to care about whom I bring?” Yue Feiyan’s red eyes narrowed up to reveal a dangerous gaze.

“No, I’m just here to take a look.” Lu Chuan waved his hand quickly and walked to the table next to him.

He shouted cowardly, “I’ll just sit here and I won’t disturb you.”

“???” Mu Liang couldn’t help but glanced at the man named Lu Chuan. Although his face was a little lewd, he was 1.8 meters tall, but he was so cowardly?

He thought it would be an urban plot, and the other party was out of his mind to provoke him and put on a face-smacking act.

“If you are as annoying as last time, I think you will lie down for another ten days.”

Yue Feiyan glared at Lu Chuan and raised her fist in warning.

“……” Mu Liang understood in seconds, it wasn’t because this guy was too cowardly, it was because the red-haired girl in front of him was too cruel.

Yue Feiyan turned around and said honestly, “I want to know everything about Black Tortoise City.”

“It would be too long to talk about everything.” Mu Liang reminded politely.

“That’s true.”

Yue Feiyan tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, “Can you give a specific introduction to life in Black Tortoise City?”

“Life? Then let me be specific about my life.”

The corners of Mu Liang’s mouth rose, and he opened his mouth, “Life in Black Tortoise City is quite good, a small bowl of porridge for breakfast with some pickled vegetables.”

“Eat a light breakfast and take time to read the newspapers that recorded yesterday’s major events.”

“After breakfast, it’s time to go to work, and I won’t say what kind of work I do.”

Mu Liang’s mind spun and continued to fool around, “After a busy morning, I have to eat a good meal at noon.”

“A good meal? What’s it like?” Yue Feiyan was completely captivated.

In fact, the life described by Mu Liang was so good, it seemed as if there was no need to worry about eating and drinking.

“……” Li Yue and Mino secretly glanced at each other, and they both saw a meaning in each other’s eyes: that was, Mu Liang can make up stories.

“Miss, the third one you want is here.” The boss brought the dishes at this time.

“Put it down.” Yue Feiyan waved her hand, signaling the boss to step back.

The boss put down the dishes and retreated respectfully and quietly.

The old three were the three dishes that Yue Feiyan often eats.

One roast, one broth, one stew.

“Let’s talk while we eat.” Yue Feiyan licked the corner of her mouth.

The maid behind her took the initiative to come forward and set up the tableware.

“Good.” Mu Liang looked at the roast meat on the table, it was fresh meat, not dried meat.

Mino was not stupid either. Seeing the actions of the opposite maid, she set the tableware and shared the meal in a similar manner.

“The fresh meat here is the best, you can try it.” Yue Feiyan skillfully cut a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

“Hmm.” Mu Liang nodded and also tasted a piece of roast meat.

The taste was fishy, a little overcooked, and chewy.

But, also tastier than dried meat.

Yue Feiyan blinked her red eyes and asked curiously, “How about the lunch you had in Black Tortoise City?”

“It’s pretty good, just a little different in taste and texture.” Mu Liang said with a light smile.

“That’s good, I was afraid you wouldn’t get used to eating.”

Yue Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief and urged: “Go on with what you said before, what’s a good meal like.”

The red-haired girl was really curious about the life of a big city and wanted to go out and explore.

It’s just that her mother, Moon Lord, wouldn’t let her travel far.

“It’s good to eat some meat.”

Mu Liang put down the knife in his hand, spread out his five fingers and bent several times: “There is roasted whole chicken, there is fried steak, there is stewed fish, there is stewed duck……”

“Wait…… I’ve never heard of such a dish before?” Yue Feiyan pursed her pink lips in bewilderment.

“I eat all the unique recipes that some chefs have developed themselves, and they generally don’t spread it.”

Mu Liang himself was said to be gluttonous.

He picked up a piece of stew with his dinner knife and ate it, still the same fishy and a little too salty.

“It turned out to be a unique recipe.” Yue Feiyan suddenly realized.

“After lunch, it’s time to get back to work.”

Mu Liang went on to make it up… Then he said: “Being busy until the middle of the afternoon, people have no energy, so they need to drink afternoon tea to refresh themselves.”

“Tea? That kind of bitter stuff?” Yue Feiyan’s pretty face wrinkled.

“Starburst tea is bitter first and then sweet, it can make people full of spirit, and drinking it regularly can prolong life.”

Mu Liang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his face just showed an intoxicated expression.

“I’ve had teas, too, and those are too bitter.”

Yue Feiyan didn’t quite believe it, and asked, “I’ve never heard of Starburst Tea, is it really as good as you said?”

The red-haired girl’s mother asked her to drink tea every day, but the tea was bitter and astringent, with no sweetness at all.

If it were not for the fact that tea was good for the body, she would definitely have poured the tea secretly.

“It’s very normal for you to not have heard of it. The Starlight Tea Tree is the Black Tortoise City’s Holy Tree, and its production is extremely rare. In addition, it can prolong one’s life, so it’s even less popular outside.”

Mu Liang compiled so much content, just to draw out the starburst tea.

But, there was one thing he did not make up, drinking Starburst tea regularly could indeed prolong life.

“Well, I’m still thinking about trying it in the future.” Yue Feiyan showed a regretful expression.

“Huh? It can prolong life?”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help sneering, and mockingly said, “I want to try the Starburst tea.”

“Shut up.” Yue Feiyan turned her head abruptly, her red-haired eyes flashing with fire.

“Mmmmmmmmm.” Lu Chuan tightly closed his mouth and nodded his head in fear.

“It’s normal for Starburst tea to be suspected, after all, the production is too small.”

Mu Liang was a little thankful for this cowardly man’s assist.

He lacked an excuse to take out Starburst tea. Being too active would make people suspicious. Only passive proof was the best result.

“I have no doubts.” Yue Feiyan shook her head slightly.

“Miss Yue, you treated me to lunch.”

The corners of Mu Liang’s mouth were upturned, and he said lightly, “Then I’ll treat you to a cup of Starburst tea, just enough to relieve the fatigue.”

“Huh? Do you have Starburst tea?” Yue Feiyan’s red eyes widened in surprise.

“I just happen to have some.”

Mu Liang glanced at the dumbfounded Lu Chuan and said indifferently, “Xiao Nuo, make starburst tea.”

“Yes.”
