Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good - Chapter 60-1

Chapter 60a: Fallacious Argument

Watching the darkish colored big centipede roasting above the wood fire, with countless numbers of tentacles, appearing sinister, Nalan Ye suddenly felt like he wanted to vomit. Just now, he even thought that he was eating some incomparably delicious food and didn’t expect it to surprisingly be these disgusting bugs. Moreover, he even already swallowed it down!

“Luo Qing Luan!”

Nalan Ye fiercely squeezed out one cold word at a time from between the gaps of his teeth. “You dare to nauseate this prince like that? You want to die?” 

He truly had the thought of grabbing this girl towards him again and give her a good beating on her behind.

No one had ever dared to play such tricks on him before. She was practically playing with him in the palm of her hands! From the start, she clearly wanted to mess with him, yet assumed the appearance of a cute, lovable girl. He even thought that she genuinely wanted his promise and was properly making a culinary delicacy for him. He didn’t expect that she was basically harboring evil designs!

Luo Qing Luan nearly died laughing. 

Wasn’t this loathsome man quite ferocious? Why was he so easily defeated this time? Very likely, he currently wanted to throw up, yet wasn’t able to, right? Ah ha ha ha……she really wanted to laugh. How’s the taste of getting sorted out by her?

Although she felt quite delighted, she didn’t reveal the least bit on her face. Instead, she casted a disdainful glance at Nalan Ye as her lips opened slightly. “Turns out Your Lordship is someone who fails to understand a person’s kindness? You’ve really wasted my good intentions.”

“This is a desolate area outside of the city, yet you insist on making things difficult for me, asking me to make gourmet food for you to eat. I racked my brains to come up with this dish, braving dangers and risking my life before I could find these few sky dragons. Without any salt or oil to cook with, I could only use some wild fruits for seasoning. In order to have you not misunderstand, I even especially gave you one with the shell ready peeled off, so that you could enjoy the tender meat inside. Does Your Lordship really think that I’m bored with nothing to do and exists just to disgust you?”

Half speaking truth and half lying, Luo Qing Luan’s expression was slightly cold, an opposite to her previous helplessness. She looked at Nalan Ye coldly, her eyes entirely filled with disappointment and regret. “I even truly thought that Your Lordship feared nothing in heaven or earth. But I didn’t expect that you surprisingly only looked at the outer appearance of such a delicious delicacy and failed to appreciate it. Heh heh. Take it as me overestimating you, then!”

A series of resentment and disdain reverberated in the dim light of night. Nalan Ye heard her speaking serenely, but how could he not discern the indignance within those words? This bad girl, it’s obvious she was messing with him, yet she even went as far sounding so dignified and righteous?

With a cold laugh, Nalan Ye answered. “You claimed that you cooked this food with meticulous care. Then how about you eat one while I look on? Even calling it a sky dragon? This clearly is a centipede, one of the five most poisonous animals in the world. Did you think that merely changing its name will change this fact? If something were to happen to me from eating it, then you should pay with your life……”

Before he even finished speaking, Nalan Ye froze in place.

He stared blankly as he watched Luo Qing Luan surprisingly truly take the centipede in her hand and ate it. 

Her lips opened then closed. Her pearly white teeth nibbled at the insect on the branch while tearing at it lightly. After that, she chewed it thoroughly. He couldn’t perceive the least bit of disgust from her expression. She ate it so slowly, as if it was a supremely delicious delicacy. Moreover, she didn’t hesitate in the slightest in finishing the chunk in her mouth. Very quickly, she finished eating the remaining half.

“The taste is not bad. Even though there’s no salt, this kind of sour and sweet taste also has a different kind of flavor.” After speaking softly, Luo Qing Luan lifted her eyes to look at Nalan Ye, with disdain reflected in them. “I ate it, now what? Is there something else that Your Lordship want to say? Do you want to wait and see whether I will be poisoned to death?” 

Genuinely stunned in place, Nalan Ye was incomparably shocked.

He truly never thought that Luo Qing Luan actually would eat this kind thing!

“You……” Eyebrows furrowed, he said in a deep voice. “In order to obtain my promise, you actually didn’t hesitate to do this?” 

He revised his view of Luo Qing Luan again. With regards to her previous claims about why she hid herself, he also started believing in them more. If it wasn’t for the sake of obtaining his promise to help her find out her mother’s cause of death, why would the grand noble daughter of the General’s Mansion need to eat this kind of disgusting thing to prove herself to him?

It would seem that not only was she intelligent and forbearing, she was also ruthless towards herself. This kind of person, even though she’s a girl, once she matured, she would make people amazed.

He even thought that he was already well-rounded enough, who would’ve imagined……

Luo Qing Luan laughed lightly as she shook her head. “I say, Your Lordship, you really overestimated yourself, haven’t you? If I were not willing, do you think that I would disgust myself by eating this kind of inedible thing?”

Taking a glance at the remaining two branches in her hand. These were the four sky dragons that she spent almost an hour of time to find with difficulty. It’s too bad that the seasoning wasn’t complete this time. These several finest things had truly been wasted. The sky dragons in this forest were both big and fat. If she could change to another location, she guaranteed that she could make a dish which was a hundred times more delicious.

“Sky dragon can also be called a centipede, and a centipede is truly one of the five most poisonous animals there is. However, Your Lordship is obviously ignorant and inexperienced. A sky dragon isn’t merely a poisonous insect. It’s actually also a very good herbal medicine ingredient.”

Totally unlike most sheltered noble ladies in general, Luo Qing Luan wasn’t scared in the least. Instead, she spoke frankly with assurance, as if she was very familiar with the matter. “Not only is it able to clear inflammation and relieve pain, it can attack poison and suppress muscle spasm. Moreover, as for children’s seizures, hemiplegia, and skin ulcers, its medicinal effect is also quite good. If you don’t believe me, Your Lordship can also visit an herbal medicine shop yourself to ask. You’ll find out that I haven’t lied to you.”

Having known earlier that Luo Qing Luan had quite a gift of the gab, Nalan Ye had a taste of her eloquence again.
