I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 714 Hawthorn Pills

"In this cold winter, having hotpot is still the best!" Deng Pao Pao exclaimed, throwing another chopstick full of fatty beef into the hotpot.

"Let's dig in, let's dig in!" Zhao Xiaodao raised a cup of Sprite, clinked glasses with Lin Wan and Lady Sun, took a sip, and then put a chopstick full of beef into his mouth.

Lu Zheng and Deng Pao Pao were drinking beer, which made the toasting less awkward.

"Little Saber must be exercising and dieting every day in Beidu, but here in Hai City, you should eat and drink well!" Deng Pao Pao encouraged.

Zhao Xiaodao snorted lightly, "Tch! I never get fat, no matter what I eat!"

Deng Pao Pao immediately chimed in, "Then it's a problem with your digestive system, it's a condition that needs treatment!"

"Go away, buzz off!" Zhao Xiaodao waved his hand, ignoring him.

...

Ever since they met after the magic show, Lu Zheng had dined once with Deng Pao Pao and his wife and chatted online a few times.

Also, Zhao Xiaodao had visited Hai City once in November to have a meal with Lin Wan, but at that time, Deng Pao Pao and his wife weren't around.

This was the first time the three parties gathered together.

...

After exchanging contact information with Lu Zheng, Deng Pao Pao specifically asked Zhao Xiaodao about Lu Zheng, mentioned how he got to know Lu Zheng, and wanted to gather information about him.

However…

Deng Pao Pao took Lu Zheng's last words as a joke, but Zhao Xiaodao didn't.

Is conjuring water from thin air to freeze into ice the Life and Death Talisman?

It certainly is! No doubt about it!

That magic trick of burning paper out of thin air must be the Flame Saber!

Therefore, they know so many martial arts, and they must also know the medical skills from Jin Yong's novels, which explains the effects of the Beauty Pill!

Case solved…

Zhao Xiaodao shivered with fear, deciding to keep this speculation to herself, only saying that Lu Zheng and Lin Wan are great people, urban legends, and also reminding Deng Pao Pao not to bring up beauty treatments and facial care on his own.

Deng Pao Pao expressed his understanding!

Just judging by Lu Zheng and Lin Wan's demeanor, they seem like those high-minded individuals who are not short of money and unafraid of trouble, indifferent to fame and fortune!

To get the apparently expensive Beauty Pill from such people, you need to foster a good relationship, make them comfortable, and have them give you one.

Asking directly? That would be beneath you, and they might block you instantly.

...

So Deng Pao Pao and Lady Sun acted as if they knew nothing, not deliberately mentioning Zhao Xiaodao's skin condition in front of her, just chatting about various celebrity gossips.

Because they could see that Lu Zheng was quite interested in such gossip.

"Oh really…"

"No way…"

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, wondering what kind of stir these gossip revelations would cause on the internet.

"So... many people haven't been exposed yet!" exclaimed Lu Zheng, smacking his lips.

"So, Lu Spore is really considered clean, to have the courage to expose a relationship at such a time," Deng Pao Pao said.

Lu Zheng nodded at the words, acknowledging that just from this point, he seems to have some responsibility.

Though that's about it, since the guy isn't very skilled professionally, and the girl often messes up online, this couple didn't impress Lu Zheng.

However, Lu Zheng was quite interested in the fake friendships outside the most famous variety show.

"Keep going, keep going!" Lu Zheng excitedly raised his glass and clinked it with Deng Pao Pao again.

Deng Pao Pao immediately got spirited, adding jokes and anecdotes as he told the inside story.

Zhao Xiaodao facepalmed...

Brother Lu, if you enjoy hearing gossip, you should have said so earlier, I have lots of stories about the open and hidden fights among young actresses.

Many are personal experiences!

...

Full and satisfied, the three celebrities donned hats and masks and walked out of the private room at Donglaishun.

"Is it snowing?"

"Sleet."

"I knew it, how could it snow so easily in Hai City?"

"Hope it snows tomorrow."

"Why's that?"

"It's Christmas Eve tomorrow."

"..."

"Hehe…"

Deng Pao Pao made a cold joke that no one else understood, so he laughed awkwardly to himself to ease the embarrassment.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like people in Hai City are really looking forward to the snow?"

"Of course, last year on some day, it sprinkled a tiny bit, and everyone was as happy as if it were New Year," Deng Pao Pao laughed.

Lady Sun laughed, "I couldn't resist posting it on my Moments."

Lady Sun, of course, didn't feel the anticipation for snow, but most of the locals in Hai City, like regular folks in the south, were filled with anticipation and excitement for snow.

Lu Zheng laughed, "Are Xiaozhi and Xiaoyi also looking forward to the snow?"

"Of course." Lady Sun nodded, "I took them to the north before, and what kid doesn't love playing in the snow?"

"That's true."

Lu Zheng thought back to his own childhood, seemingly remembering liking snowball fights, and looked up at the sky, saying, "I wouldn't say it's cold enough and overcast enough that it might really snow."

"Unlikely," Deng Pao Pao shook his head, "the city is still warm, the snow won't accumulate."

Lu Zheng nodded and didn't mention the snow again, "The roads are slippery, be careful driving."

Deng Pao Pao and his wife first sent Lu Zheng and the others to the Fengshen dealership next to them, "You too."

Since Lu Zheng had been drinking, Lin Wan drove, and Zhao Xiaodao, who had sent his assistant and driver away after arriving, sat in the front passenger seat, leaving Lu Zheng to sit in the back naturally.

The car started and they drove off.

After eating hotpot, Zhao Xiaodao's face was flush as he asked, "Sister Wan, do you want to go to my hotel's gym to work out a bit?"

"Good lord, you've just eaten a few slices of meat and you're already wanting to work out?" Lu Zheng teased.

"I ate a lot!" Zhao Xiaodao said seriously, "Beef, lamb, prawn rolls, duck intestines, and omasum, I ate all of it!"

"Oh sure, a couple of pieces each counts as eating all," Lu Zheng rolled his eyes, reached back for a thumb-sized elixir pill, and handed it to Zhao Xiaodao.

Zhao Xiaodao was surprised and delighted, "What kind of elixir is this?"

"Hawthorn Pills."

Zhao Xiaodao: ???

Took it, put it in his mouth, and indeed it was a Hawthorn Pill!

And... it was really sour!

Zhao Xiaodao's face twisted from the sourness.

"Brother Lu, what kind of hawthorn is this?" Zhao Xiaodao squinted his eyes, shivering all over, his mouth twitching as he tried hard not to spit out the Hawthorn Pill, "Isn't it too sour?"

"Wild hawthorn, good stuff."

This was hawthorn picked by Lu Zheng from an ancient mountain, combined with several other intensely sour wild fruits to make the Hawthorn Pill, used for recreational punishment.

Of course, it's also beneficial for digestion.

But such benefits were unnecessary for female demons or Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens, so Zhao Xiaodao got to enjoy it.

Zhao Xiaodao braved the sourness, trying hard to chew the Hawthorn Pill and swallow it, shaking all over like he was having fits.

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Is it that bad?"

"Haven't you tasted it yourself?" Zhao Xiaodao's eyes were tearing up.

"Oh, I tried a little, it was too sour, so I didn't eat more," Lu Zheng said flatly.

Zhao Xiaodao, "..."
