Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 38 Heaven and Earth's Signature Dishes

"It's like this, Manager Li had some business to attend to and went on a long trip. He was in a bit of a hurry when he left and didn't have time to tell Young Master Ye," the waiter explained honestly.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Xiaofeng didn't say anything more. Although Manager Li was one of his own, he also had his own freedom.

"By the way, Young Master Ye, I suggest you stay home and wait until you've fully recovered from your injury," the waiter said kindly.

"Xiaofeng, it's okay. Come shopping with me after you've eaten," Qingqing said with a smile.

"Go by yourself if you want to. I'm not going. I need to rest for half a month," Ye Xiaofeng quickly refused. Going out with you would attract attention for both of you, but she would be the envy of others, while he would be embarrassed to go with her.

"Fine, I won't go then, hmph," Qingqing retorted unhappily to Ye Xiaofeng.

"Young Master Ye, please enjoy your meal." The waiter brought out the last dish and quickly retreated before Ye Xiaofeng could reply.

The waiter walked out of Ye Xiaofeng's room and smiled slyly.

"Manager, I've sent up the dishes you ordered," the waiter reported back to Manager Li's room.

"Did you relay my exact words?" Manager Li looked at the shop assistant, and the two of them exchanged lewd smiles.

"Boss, I saw that Young Master Ye looked like he hadn't slept all night. His eyes were like panda eyes. Before I could say anything, Young Master Ye offered to take a two-week break," the waiter exaggeratedly recounted what he had seen.

"With Miss Qingqing around, Young Master Ye must need even more nourishment," Manager Li said, his words as lewd as could be.

"Manager, our signature dishes have been served for a while now. You were right to guess right on the first try!" the waiter quickly flattered Manager Li.

"You don't need to tell me. If I didn't have this skill, how could I have survived in the capital for decades? Serve Young Master Ye well. Starting this month, you'll get an extra half-month's salary every month. Don't tell the other employees. Oh, and don't forget to bring Young Master Ye his signature dishes for lunch and dinner every day," Manager Li specifically instructed the employee.

"Boss, what about breakfast?" the waiter asked, seemingly courting disaster.

"Breakfast, huh?" Manager Li glanced at the waiter and gave a sly smile.

"Oh, I understand," the waiter quickly realized he had asked the wrong question, and his smile was even more lewd than that of Manager Li.

"Xiaofeng, what is this dish?" Qingqing looked at the last meat dish, which she had never seen before.

"This is... our restaurant's signature dish, it should be good for your health, right?" Ye Xiaofeng looked at the familiar dish. He remembered how Xue Wu had tricked him by ordering lamb kidneys and tiger penis, claiming it was the restaurant's signature dish. He felt like he had been ripped off.

"Then hurry up and eat! You're so thin, you should eat more." Qingqing looked at Ye Xiaofeng with concern, after all, Ye Xiaofeng had taken two punches from her and his eyes had turned into panda eyes.

"I can eat other dishes, you can eat this for me." Ye Xiaofeng didn't want to eat; all he wanted to do now was beat up Manager Li.

"Hmm, why aren't you eating?" Qingqing sensed that something was wrong with Ye Xiaofeng.

"I'm tired of eating meat and want to eat more vegetables," Ye Xiaofeng continued to make up, because he really didn't want to eat dishes made with lamb kidneys and tiger penis.

"No, you have to eat it, ah, open your mouth!" Qingqing directly used her chopsticks to pick up a lamb kidney and fed it to Ye Xiaofeng's mouth.

"Then I'll just have a little bit," Ye Xiaofeng said, closing his eyes and taking a bite of the lamb kidney that Qingqing had offered to his mouth.

"Are you serious? Eating meat is like I'm forcing you to eat poison," Qingqing teased Ye Xiaofeng.

"Xiaofeng, I shouldn't have hit you. I couldn't control myself," Qingqing said to Ye Xiaofeng, feeling wronged.

"However, I've thought it through. To show my apology, I'll feed you this signature dish," Qingqing said with a cute smile.

"I'd rather you punch me two more times," Ye Xiaofeng muttered under his breath. Yes, Ye Xiaofeng would rather turn into a panda again than eat this signature dish.

"What did you say? I've already apologized to you, but you still won't accept it," Qingqing said, her eyes reddening again.

"How could that be? I wasn't angry with you at all," Ye Xiaofeng said, realizing that this silly girl had misunderstood him, and quickly began to coax Qingqing.

"Then you have to finish eating before I can believe you, hehe," Qingqing said with a smile as she looked at Ye Xiaofeng again.

"Uh, are you women made of water? How come you change your minds so quickly?" Ye Xiaofeng was completely dumbfounded by Qingqing's rapid change of expression.

"Pah, you're the woman! I'm not married yet, I'm still a girl," Qingqing said, blushing.

"May I ask, Goddess Qingqing, who do you want to marry?" Ye Xiaofeng teased Qingqing on purpose.

"What's it to you? I'd rather marry you than you!" Qingqing blushed and glared at Ye Xiaofeng, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.

"Uh... I was just asking casually." Ye Xiaofeng was completely baffled, thinking that women could change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book.

"You talk too much. I don't think even the food can shut you up." Qingqing took the signature dish and brought it to Ye Xiaofeng, feeding it to him with her chopsticks.

"Qingqing, why don't you have some too?" Ye Xiaofeng used chopsticks to feed Qingqing, who quickly turned her head away.

"No, this dish is only for you today, so you have to finish it." Qingqing smiled at Ye Xiaofeng and kept picking up food with her chopsticks until Ye Xiaofeng finished this signature dish.

Afterwards, the two had lunch and drank some wine. One pot wasn't enough, so they drank another. In fact, Qingqing knew perfectly well that she couldn't hold her liquor, but she still drank with Ye Xiaofeng.

The two of them had been up all night and didn't sleep well, so Ye Xiaofeng thought he should go back and get some sleep.

"Qingqing, let's go back to the room," Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile to Qingqing.

"Ye Xiaofeng, you big bad guy, you shameless bastard, you tried to molest me in broad daylight!" Qingqing said, pounding Ye Xiaofeng's chest.

"What? I mean, let's go upstairs and sleep," Ye Xiaofeng quickly explained.

"See, you still say you didn't?"

"No, I mean I'm sleepy, I can sleep on the sofa," Ye Xiaofeng quickly explained again, lest the girl misunderstand him again.

"Really? You're kidding me!" Qingqing was a little skeptical of Ye Xiaofeng.

"Don't believe me if you don't want to. I'm going to sleep. Don't bother me." Ye Xiaofeng ignored him and went upstairs to her room.

"Hmph, if I don't want to bother you, I won't. I'm too lazy to bother you." Qingqing watched Ye Xiaofeng return to his room and angrily retorted to him. After some time, something suddenly popped into Qingqing's head.

"Hehe," Qingqing chuckled slyly, then went up the stairs back to her room.

Qingqing pushed open the door and entered the room. Ye Xiaofeng really hadn't lied; he was asleep on the sofa.

To avoid waking Ye Xiaofeng, she deliberately took off her high heels and walked barefoot slowly to the sofa.

Gently pinching Ye Xiaofeng's nose to stop him from breathing, Ye Xiaofeng seemed to realize that he couldn't breathe through his nose, so he switched to breathing through his mouth.

Seeing Ye Xiaofeng sleeping like that, Qingqing was immediately annoyed and knew she had to teach him a lesson.

"I don't believe I can't mess with you!" Qingqing used her long hair to tickle Ye Xiaofeng, who quickly covered his face with both hands.
