Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 89 Overtime Maniac
"I'll leave the Son of God to you. I still have things to take care of." Keqing glanced at the pink-haired little fox that climbed onto Lu Jingming's head and turned to leave.

"What are you dealing with?! There are so many people in Haiyuan City, can't you just let yourself go?"

Seeing this, Lu Jingming hurriedly grabbed Keqing's hand and said firmly, "Let others handle anything you need. Your time today belongs to me."

"Hey!" Keqing was a little confused by Lu Jingming's sudden and strong action. Her mind went blank. Before she could react, she was pulled by Lu Jingming to the bustling food street.

At this time, several black-armored gold guards appeared and quickly opened a passage through the crowd.

When the people saw the Golden Guards, they all made way and discovered Lu Jingming and Keqing who were surrounded in the middle.

Seeing the Golden Guards, the people in the food street spontaneously made way, and they also saw Lu Jingming and Keqing.

"It's the City Lord and Lady Keqing, they are holding hands!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Great! I've been supporting this couple for a long time!"

"Lady Keqing is very kind, but I support Lady Jinxi."

"No, Miss Robin and the City Lord are the most suitable match."

Because Lu Jingming came from the modern era, Keqing, Changli, Jinxi and others valued the people very much in their original world, so the happiness index of the people in Haiyuan City can be said to be the highest in the entire Douluo Continent.

Therefore, although Lu Jingming, the city lord, rarely appears in public, he has won the love and respect of all the people.

In Haiyuan City, even nobles and soul masters cannot bully civilians at will, otherwise the Golden Guards will invite them for tea.

Although this made many arrogant nobles dissatisfied, they had to change their behavior in order to stay on the big ship of Haiyuan City.

After all, everyone has seen the changes in Haiyuan City. The current Haiyuan City is no longer the small coastal city it once was. In the entire Xingluo Empire, everyone knows the name of Haiyuan City.

The prosperous Haiyuan City attracted many people to relocate there, and after several expansions, it has become the largest main city in terms of scale, second only to the capital Xingluo City.

Haiyuan City is gradually becoming a modern city, and even the city walls are becoming unimportant. It has the potential to become the second city in the continent without city walls after Mingdu.

In Haiyuan City, even an ordinary person has the opportunity to make a fortune, let alone those aristocratic families with some background.

Therefore, for those nobles, the most painful thing was not to treat the common people well and curb their arrogance, but to be driven out of Haiyuan City.

Over the years, there have been many people who harbored ill will towards Haiyuan City, but most of them were dealt with by the Jinwei, and some even died in unclear circumstances.

After all, impermanence is taking lives, and the sharp blade of Haiyuan City in the dark is not at all disadvantageous.

Hearing the discussions of others, Keqing subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Lu Jingming held her tightly and had no intention of letting go.

Just kidding, I finally caught this cat that runs around every day, how could I let it go so easily?

Feeling the warmth in Keqing's palm, Lu Jingming held it tighter, feeling happy.

As for other people's comments, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was an open-minded city lord and would not get angry because of some remarks.

On the contrary, he felt that what the people said was right; he and these girls were indeed a good match. With the Jinwei leading the way, Lu Jingming took Keqing, whose pretty face was slightly blushing, by the hand and arrived at a restaurant they had booked long ago.

This is a seafood restaurant that has only been open for a short time, but it has won Keqing's favor because the chef's specialty is golden shrimp balls.

It is not difficult to make golden shrimp balls. The main ingredients are just potatoes and shrimps. For Haiyuan City, which is located on the coast, shrimps are the most abundant thing.

However, not many restaurants can make golden shrimp balls that satisfy Keqing, and the golden shrimp balls in this seafood restaurant taste the closest to the golden shrimp balls in her world.

But what Keqing didn't know was that this chef was specially found by Lu Jingming, and he materialized a portion of authentic golden shrimp balls from the world of Genshin Impact and asked the chef to replicate it.

It is also because of this that the taste of the golden shrimp balls can be made close to the original taste of Keqing's world.

Lu Jingming brought Keqing into the seafood restaurant. The decoration inside the restaurant was simple yet stylish, and the warm yellow soul guide light was softly sprinkled in every corner.

When the clerk saw Lu Jingming, he immediately came forward respectfully and led them to a private room.

This private room was specially prepared by Lu Jingming for Keqing. Since its establishment, it has always remained vacant, just waiting for Keqing's arrival.

Keqing knew nothing about this. All of this was arranged privately by Lu Jingming. He had done many similar things.

"Eat first. It looks like you haven't eaten. Even if you have soul power, you still have to take care of your body." Lu Jingming's voice was a little blaming, but also full of concern.

He skillfully ordered Keqing's favorite golden shrimp balls, paired with a few refreshing and delicious side dishes, and did not forget to order a portion of her favorite fried tofu for the Son of God who was standing beside him.

Keqing felt a little uncomfortable with this sudden concern. She lowered her head slightly, and her hair fell, covering the barely noticeable blush on her cheeks.

She did not mention going back to work, but just said "hmm" softly. Her voice was as soft as the spring breeze and would be ignored if you were not careful.

Knowing that the city lord was coming, the chef of this restaurant did not dare to slack off at all. He walked into the kitchen himself, put on an apron, and began to prepare the dishes skillfully and quickly.

After a while, one dish after another, steaming and fragrant, was served on the table.

The golden shrimp balls are golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The golden threads made from fried potato shreds are wrapped around the fresh and tender shrimps, making people salivate just by looking at them.

Lu Jingming hadn't eaten yet, so he happened to be accompanying Keqing and the little fox.

Keqing's eating movements were extremely graceful. Every time she raised her hand and every time she chewed her food, she exuded the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

However, she did not eat slowly. This was a habit she had developed over the years in pursuit of efficiency, and it had not changed even when she was eating.

This style, both elegant and fast, is wonderfully combined in her, forming a unique charm.

Lu Jingming looked at Keqing who was eating golden shrimp balls with a happy expression on her face, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind - should he summon Ganyu to help?

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Ganyu and Keqing are a perfect match. If these two "overtime maniacs" who work hard like crazy get together, the scene is unimaginable.
