Just when Tang Doudou thought that Mu Ye had disappeared, she felt a soft pat on her shoulder.

Mu Yeâs voice came from behind her. âWhat are you looking at?â
When Tang Doudou heard his voice, she hastily turned around. âIâm looking for you ah! Where did you go?â
An oil paper bag appeared in front of her.
As she took it, Mu Ye said, âSee if itâs tasty?â
There was no trace of coldness in his eyes right now. His ice-blue eyes were as gentle as a deep clear spring. Tang Doudou was taken aback and a little flustered, so she hastily looked away and grabbed the thing from the bag to shove it into her mouth.
After she shoved it into her mouth, she abruptly looked into the bag.
Then her stomach churned and she started vomiting as she leaned against a nearby tree.
A trace of confusion flashed through Mu Yeâs eyes. He heard people say that this was very tasty earlier, so he brought some for Tang Doudou to have as breakfast. They all said it was tasty, but why did she end up vomiting?
As he was wondering about this, he walked over and handed her a canteen of water. âYouâre pregnant?â
âPffff!â Tang Doudou hadnât vomited all of it out earlier, but when she heard this, everything else in her stomach came up.
Tang Doudou felt horrible after she finished vomiting. She saw that Mu Ye was still offering her the canteen with a worried expression so she took it with a wry smile. After rinsing out the strange taste in her mouth, she leaned against the tree weakly and gasped for breath.
Mu Ye thought for a moment, then said, âIâll see you back to the inn. You shouldnât run around in this condition.â
Tang Doudou rolled her eyes. âIâm not pregnant.â
âBut you vomited,â said Mu Ye.
Tang Doudou didnât know whether to laugh or to cry. She patted his shoulder as she asked, âWho told you that if someone vomits, it means theyâre pregnant?â
A trace of embarrassment seemed to flash through Mu Yeâs eyes. âEveryone whoâs pregnant seemed to be like this.â
âWho were you looking at that was pregnant?â asked Tang Doudou curiously. The Leader of the Demonic Sect would observe pregnant people for fun?
Mu Yeâs expression immediately turned cold again and he didnât reply.
Fine. This question was also off-limits.
Tang Doudou exhaled. The strange taste in her mouth was still present. âWhere did you buy this?â
Mu Ye glanced at the oil paper bag. âOn the streets.â
âThen do you know what this is?â
âItâs food.â
Tang Doudou was about to fall apart. âYou didnât ask what kind of food it was?â
âThey said it was tasty.â
Tang Doudou was speechless. Last time, when he gave her the fruits of the sacred tree, he also seemed to have said that it looked tasty.
When she didnât speak, Mu Ye seemed to realize why she vomited. He looked slightly crestfallen. âItâs not tasty?â
Tang Doudou shook her head. âItâs tasty, but Iâm not used to this taste.â
She was a genuine foodie, but there was just one thing she really couldnât take, which was steamed buns with Chinese chives!
What Mu Ye brought to her was precisely that!
If it werenât for the fact that she had been too stunned by the expression in his eyes, there was no way she would have missed the distinctive smell of Chinese chives, much less shoved so much into her mouth. She had practically been about to vomit her stomach out.
âSo itâs like this.â Mu Ye seemed to have finally understood. He took the bun from her hand and shoved it in his own mouth. After chewing it a couple times, he spat it on the ground. âIâm not used to it either.â
Tang Doudou was baffled. What did he mean by this?
âIâll go buy some more for you.â After Mu Ye said this, he moved to leave again.
However, she didnât dare to let him go off by himself to buy food again. She hastily grabbed him. âItâs fine, Mu Ye. I donât really have an appetite right now so letâs go deal with our main matters first.â
Who would be able to pig out right after vomiting after all?
Tang Doudou rubbed her stomach, still feeling awful. However, as she rubbed, she sensed something strange. The inner strength in her dantian seemed to be gradually coming back!
âMain matters? Do you have something urgent you need to do?â The black robe went over the arms so Mu Ye hadnât seen her stomach-rubbing moment. When he saw that she wasnât moving, he asked her this.
Tang Doudou was in the middle of mulling over why her inner strength suddenly recovered when she heard this question. She glanced up at him, puzzled. âYou donât have something you need to do?â
âNo.â
â¦then what did they come out for?
âI wanted to bring you out to walk around. Itâs good for speeding recovery,â said Mu Ye evasively after he was silent for a while.
If Tang Doudou hadnât been distracted by her inner strength coming back, she probably would have noticed that something was off about Mu Ye. However, right now, when she heard that he didnât have anything to do, she just replied with an âoh,â then suggested, âWhy donât we take a look at where theyâll be holding the conference?â
âIt hasnât started,â replied Mu Ye.
âNo, I mean letâs just look around a little.â Tang Doudou shook her head, then started muttering to herself again. âWhy does it feel like my inner strength is recovering?â
Mu Ye heard both sentences, but he didnât ask about it and just walked forward silently.
Although Tang Doudou found it strange, since nothing else seemed off about her body, she stopped worrying about it and focused on following after Mu Ye.
The reason she wanted to go to the conference place was because she wanted to see if she could meet up with Baili Yu.
