I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 659: UFC Golden Belt Winner

"Honey!"

At the airport, Lu Zheng happened to run into Lin Wan and her entourage who were also disembarking.

Lin Wan immediately approached, wrapped her arm around Lu Zheng's, and asked with a smile, "When did you arrive? How long have you been waiting?"

"Less than half an hour."

Lu Zheng patted Lin Wan's hand and greeted Zhao Xiaodao.

"Brother Lu!"

Zhao Xiaodao also excitedly came over, "Why don't you stay in Beidu for a few more days if you're free? I can show you around!"

"Aren't you busy lately?"

"Not busy at all! Nothing going on recently!" Zhao Xiaodao waved her hand repeatedly, saying she only had a few unimportant appearances, which she could easily decline.

Lu Zheng smiled, "As long as it's not a bother."

Zhao Xiaodao nodded repeatedly, "I still have a few houses in Beidu..."

"That won't be necessary." Lu Zheng waved his hand, "I've already booked a hotel."

"Alright then."

Zhao Xiaodao wanted Lu Zheng and Lin Wan to stay at her villa, but was worried about being a third wheel.

Now hearing Lu Zheng say he booked a hotel, she felt certain about her role as the extra wheel.

Zhao Xiaodao quietly sighed in relief, grateful she hadn't suggested being part of their tours; she still hoped to spend more time with Lu Zheng.

Zhao Xiaodao asked, "It's almost noon, Brother Lu, did you bring any luggage? You could leave it in the car, and we can go eat first."

They got in the car, and a small assistant took a photo of Beidu Airport and posted it online, indicating that Zhao Xiaodao had returned to Beidu so that fans and journalists wouldn't have to head to the Northeast.

...

Speaking of Beidu, what are its famous dishes?

The first impression is, of course, the increasingly unaffordable and almost impossible to eat Quan Ju De.

Fortunately, as a top star, Zhao Xiaodao knows many other duck restaurants whose flavors don't lose to the former Quan Ju De.

"Delicious! Tasty!"

If even Lu Zheng gives a thumbs-up, it proves the duck chef here has real skill.

"I heard the chef of this place came from Quan Ju De," Zhao Xiaodao laughed.

"Ha?" Lu Zheng expressed shock.

"He studied all the passed-down notes on roast duck from Quan Ju De's history but found no room to use them while at Quan Ju De, so he stepped out," she explained.

Lu Zheng chewed slowly, savoring the roast duck in his mouth.

The meat was tender, fatty yet not greasy, with crispy and fragrant duck skin and a lingering rich flavor.

Coupled with hand-rolled pancakes, a swipe of sweet bean sauce, julienned scallions, and cucumber strips.

This is the most traditional way to eat it and, after countless trials, the best tasting way.

"So is this what the true Quan Ju De roast duck should taste like?" Lu Zheng said, surprised to find an authentic Quan Ju De roast duck in his lifetime.

Zhao Xiaodao nodded, "This place's sign says it's authentic roast duck, and everyone who has dined here agrees."

Lu Zheng nodded as well, "Indeed, this duck is roasted using five kinds of fruitwood charcoal, lending a fruity aroma. Plus, the ducks are specially bred to a balanced fat content. I wouldn't be surprised if it surpasses the Quan Ju De of its day in taste."

Zhao Xiaodao was amazed, "You could taste all that?"

Lu Zheng smiled and looked toward a nearby server, "Did I get it right?"

The server bowed slightly, "This gentleman is amazing. We use pure fruitwood for roasting, specifically jujube, pear, apple, persimmon, and peach trees, matching the five kinds of fruitwood."

Zhao Xiaodao was flabbergasted.

In Beidu, there are certainly many roast duck places, with a lot tasting great, but this private roast duck shop undeniably stands out for its unique flavor.

The key point is, while others boast heavily about their craftsmanship and techniques yet remain industrialized, this shop stays understated, neither advertising nor flaunting itself.

It appears they're genuinely dedicated!

The server gave a modest smile, "Since our roast ducks are meticulously selected and the roasting process is time-consuming, we can't host many guests, so there's no need for promotion."

That's a boast!

Zhao Xiaodao nodded, "No wonder the price is equally impressive."

Quan Ju De is expensive enough, yet here, a duck costs three times more than Quan Ju De.

"Quality comes at a price," the server explained, "After all, not everything is available just by spending money."

Zhao Xiaodao couldn't help but laugh, "With what you said, I feel the price is not only reasonable but also quite cheap."

The server laughed but stayed silent, retreating to the side and becoming invisible again.

"Ding Dong!"

Zhao Xiaodao picked up her phone and looked up at Lin Wan, "A message from Zhang Weili, she's asking when Sister Wan will have free time to and wants to invite us for a meal."

"Oh? She seems quite eager," Lin Wan laughed.

Previously, Zhao Xiaodao replied to Zhang Weili saying they were having a small gathering in Beidu, with Lin Wan's prior consent.

Zhao Xiaodao giggled, "How could she not be anxious with Sister Wan being so awesome!"

Lin Wan thought for a moment, "If she's free now, invite her to join us."

For a woman who fought in the UFC ring and won a Golden Belt, Lin Wan had a good impression.

Lin Wan knew herself well, though she wasn't lacking in effort, without Lu Zheng, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't beat Zhang Weili.

However...

Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng and saw the encouragement and love in his eyes.

Lin Wan felt a sweetness in her heart and silently held Lu Zheng's hand, unintentionally feeding Zhao Xiaodao a dose of PDA.

Zhao Xiaodao averted her eyes, tapping away on her phone.

"She's not far from here; she'll be here soon, twenty minutes or so." Zhao Xiaodao said.

"That's pretty quick." Lu Zheng nodded, then asked Zhao Xiaodao, "How did you guys meet?"

"Met on a variety show," Zhao Xiaodao explained, "Followed each other and added as friends."

Although Zhang Weili might not even be considered a newcomer in the entertainment industry, in the realm of ring fighting she stands out, her standing possibly higher than Zou the Boxing King and Li Jingliang, as no other fellow countryman has won a UFC Golden Belt yet.

Considering the treatment Zou the Boxing King received a few years back, once she retires or even dabbles in entertainment, she could easily be a top-valued star.

Thus, she was able to interact equally with Zhao Xiaodao on the show, exchanging contact information.

...

In less than twenty minutes, Zhang Weili, guided by the server, entered the private room.

"Sister Xiaodao!"

"Wei Li!" Zhao Xiaodao eagerly welcomed her, with Lu Zheng and Lin Wan politely standing.

Zhang Weili took off her sunglasses and immediately turned her dazzling gaze toward Lin Wan.

Lin Wan smiled, "Join us? We can chat while eating."

"Okay!" Zhang Weili nodded repeatedly, then took her seat.

Zhao Xiaodao ordered another duck, added a few more dishes, and then sent the server away, leaving the room to them.

"Allow me to introduce you." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Zhao Xiaodao pulled Zhang Weili over, introducing her to the others, "This is Lu Zheng, just call him Brother Lu. This is Lin Wan, I call her Sister Wan."

"Brother Lu! Sister Wan!" Zhang Weili easily adopted Zhao Xiaodao's manner of address, regardless of whether Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were actually younger than her.

Although they had already met, Zhao Xiaodao still introduced to Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, "This is our country's first UFC Golden Belt winner, Zhang Weili!"

"Hello!"

"Brother Lu?" Zhang Weili's eyes flashed, "It was you in the Full Armor Combat who chopped down that Japanese guy, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded.

Zhang Weili looked at Lu Zheng, then at Lin Wan, "I see!"
