771. A Different Rival in Love (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
w.a.n.g Chengfeng walked into the kitchen, looking at Zheng Xuan sullenly, “Zheng Yi, I heard that you grilled eight fish and sent them all to my rival in love?”
Zheng Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng stared at Zheng Xuan disapprovingly, “How can you do that? You are my personal cook that I spent three thousand to hire! Those things you cook are even not enough for me. How care you spare the fish to him? That’s unacceptable!”
Zheng Xuan lightly looked at him, “Friends.h.i.+p comes first, a beauty comes second. Although you are rivals in love, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to get along with him. You know, one more friend, one more way.”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng got choked by his words, then nodded, “It makes some sense! But, but, how can you send him eight? Just two would be enough.”
Zheng Xuan low head, secretly thinking: How could two ever be enough! There’s still two gormandizers–the little golden flood dragon and the little sea monster!
Zheng Xuan looked at w.a.n.g Chengfeng, “Childe w.a.n.g, do you like Miss Zhao?”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng shrugged, saying whole gnawing the grilled fish, “Nah.”
Zheng Xuan tilted his head and said, “But Miss Zhao is very beautiful!”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng flatted his mouth, “Really? Maybe she doesn’t fit my taste.”
“I wonder what your aesthetic is,” Zheng Xuan asked curiously.
“I like someone like me.” w.a.n.g Chengfeng held his head high.
Zheng Xuan was confused, “Someone like you?”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng nodded, “Yes! Like me, so round, chubby, with a look, you could tell he is a big eater. But that girl is too thin, as weak as water, hard to support.”
Zheng Xuan rolled his eyes and said, “So, Childe w.a.n.g, you like fat ones.”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng gave him a stare, “That’s not fat, but well-developed.”
Zheng Xuan, “…” Your taste is really unique.
Zhao Yufei angrily rubbed the silk handkerchief in his hands and turned to leave.
She gritted her teeth with discontent. What is friends.h.i.+p comes first, a beauty comes second? What does he mean by saying she is as weak as water? That d.a.m.n silly fatso!
“Young master, Miss Zhao was outside just now, and I think she heard you.” a young man reported to w.a.n.g Chengfeng helplessly.
w.a.n.g Chengfeng said blandly, “I don’t care.” He lowered his head, thinking: I was saying those to let her hear it! Otherwise, with my soul force level, how can I not sense her around?
“Miss, are you all right?” Zhao Yufei’s maid looked at her uneasily.
Zhao Yufei shook her head, “Yeah, I’m fine.”
As w.a.n.g Chengfeng finished eating the fish, he got up and walked into Mo Fei’s room.
Mo Yi went to the side of Zheng Xuan, saying through sound transmission, “Mo Fei unexpectedly became Miss Zhao’s lover, while Prince Yu is the third wheel around. What is going on?”
Zheng Xuan shrugged, “Who knows what bad plan they are cooking this time?”
…
“Childe w.a.n.g.” Mo Fei was surprised to see w.a.n.g Chengfeng.
w.a.n.g Chengfeng looked at Mo Fei, hands held behind, “Sorry to disturb you. I hope you wouldn’t mind.
“How is that possible? Come on in, please.” While welcoming him, in, Mo Fei couldn’t help sighing in the heart, ‘What is broadminded? What is a big man? You’d know looking at this fat man! He is even so nice to his own rival in love, which is really a rare thing!’
“I hear you are an advanced pharmacist of xuan cla.s.s.” w.a.n.g Chengfeng asked.
Mo Fei lowered his head, saying with a smile, “Just so so.”
“Don’t be modest, I’ve been having some problems lately, and I’m looking for someone to pick my brain. I don’t know if you’re available.” w.a.n.g Chengfeng said.
Mo Fei gave a hollow laugh and said, “I’m so inexperienced, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng smiled with indifference, “It’s all right. Just give me some advice.”
Mo Fei smiled faintly, “I wonder what problems you have met recently.”
“I’ve been working on the heart-purifying potion, but the xingyue herbs have been extinct already. I am wondering its replacement. I have tried quite a lot, like biling herbs, yueying herbs and Tianmu herbs, and so on.” said w.a.n.g Chengfeng.
Mo Fei mused, “Although the biling herbs have the effect of purifying one’s heart, it doesn’t go with the shuixing herbs in the prescription. So if you use it, they wouldn’t be compatible.”
w.a.n.g Chengfeng’s eyes lit up, “Ah! Really? No wonder I always failed! I thought I didn’t make the right dosage! So in your opinion, what about yueying herbs…”
“It has intense pesticide effect, which would react with the wuxing herbs in the prescription. If you use it, you need to add xing herbs to balance it.”
“Balancing it? Huh? How about using the xueyue herbs to balance it?”
“Well, maybe you can have a try.”
“I still have another question. Here’s the thing…”
…
Then Mo Fei and w.a.n.g Chengfeng had a heated talk. And the more they talked, they more they felt they were congenial.
