My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 72 How could something without firewood or fuel suddenly become hot on its own?

Upon learning that Lei Ping had started a live stream, Gu Xingzhao was astonished. Had the world gone this crazy?

My roommate looked disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly. "Anyway, I just went to check, and a bunch of people were cursing her. She was just crying her heart out, trying to turn the tables on me."

"Ah Zhao, I've already asked someone to help me find out if there are any chat logs or videos as evidence. The more of these things, the better."

Gu Xingzhao was deeply moved, never expecting that his roommates, whom he hadn't been in much contact with for two years, would come to his aid so quickly.

"Thank you all, I'll treat you to a meal next time."

The three roommates laughed, "We won't stand on ceremony with you. We'll take you for a drive in your car later."

"It's a word."

This was in ancient times.

The aroma stirred the crowd, and even the Liu family members, curious, came over to investigate.

When Shunyu saw a crowd gathered not far away, she immediately guessed that the deity of the Lu family must have sent some rare item again!

She was itching to go and see, but as soon as she got up, a shadow fell in front of her. Liu Xiangbai was standing in front of her, his cold and deep eyes making her uneasy. This man was even more stern than Grand Secretary Lu.

Liu Xiangbai pursed his thin lips and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, to become a strong person, one must have a calm mind, not be disturbed by external things, and even more so, not let others see what you are thinking."

He could see that this young prince had a fire burning in his heart, just like himself, with accusations and dissatisfaction towards the person in the capital. That's why he wanted to teach him with all his heart.

Shunyu gritted her teeth and felt that Liu Xiangbai made sense. "I understand what you have to say, sir."

She immediately sat back down and continued to bury herself in her studies.

Lu Yang urged his nephew several times, "Can you open it now? I can smell the fragrance."

He had originally wanted to eat noodles, but the two buckets of noodles he had hidden away a couple of days ago had disappeared and he couldn't find them anywhere. This made him feel so bad that he couldn't even eat a pancake. Now he was starving, and the smell of noodles made his mouth water.

The other tribesmen were also waiting, their stomachs rumbling with anticipation at the aroma.

Lu Zhou couldn't hold back any longer, "Xingyao, is that enough?"

Lu Xingyao firmly said, "Let's wait a little longer. Our ancestors said we can only open the lid after the noise stops."

We must listen to what our ancestors say; we cannot be careless about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise from the box grew quieter and quieter until it finally stopped. Everyone craned their necks and stared intently, eager to see what good thing it was, afraid of missing out.

Lu Xingyao then reached out to open the lid. As soon as the lid was lifted, a steaming aroma wafted out. His eyes widened and his mouth gaped open. "It's hot?"

"!" Lu Yang was also stunned. He clearly remembered that his nephew had just added cold water!
Lu Xingyao swallowed hard, shocked. What was this thing? It could heat up on its own without any firewood or fuel.
This is amazing! Could this be some kind of magic from our ancestors?
The aroma is irresistible, and the ingredients are soaked in a rich broth. There's meat and vegetables, and it looks incredibly appetizing.

Lu Qing took out his chopsticks first, picked up a piece of meat, blew on it twice, and put it in his mouth. The sour and spicy taste was so delicious that his eyes almost closed. He never expected to be able to eat such a desolate place. He felt his body getting warm.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Lu Zhou and the others couldn't help but take out their eating utensils. They took a bite and a piece, and the moment they put it in their mouths, someone let out a happy sigh.

Lu Yang's hands trembled with excitement as he held his chopsticks. "!!!" Delicious! This is absolutely heavenly!

Two servings of self-heating hot pot were hardly enough to satisfy everyone, and soon, the group urged Lu Xingyao to cook two more.

The aroma was so enticing that people nearby were drooling. They bit into their rough pancakes with resentment, regretting that they shouldn't have joined the trouble in the first place. Otherwise, it wouldn't be those sickly Liu family members eating and drinking well with the Lu family now. Damn it!
The officials, drawn by the aroma, swallowed hard and whispered among themselves, "What has the Lu family come up with this time? It smells so good!"

They really couldn't eat the dry rations in their hands. The junior officer wondered, "Why hasn't the Lu family sent us any yet?"

"With such delicious food before me, I understand, I understand, let's wait a little longer."

The officials were convinced that once the Lu family members had tasted the food, they would send it to them. The thought of eating food bestowed by the gods filled them with excitement, and their hands trembled slightly.

That night, the officials waited anxiously until the Lu family had eaten and drunk their fill before finally seeing three people carrying three boxes of things to deliver the package.

The lid is opened, steaming hot food wafts out, and the aroma is mouthwatering.

One box was naturally for Du Hangwu to eat himself, while the other two boxes were distributed to the other officials. They immediately picked up the chopsticks that the Lu family had brought and scrambled to put them in their mouths, eating whatever they could get their hands on, as if they were fighting for money, afraid that they would be shortchanged.

Once the food is in your mouth, you don't even have time to savor the taste before you rush to grab another piece and stuff it into your mouth like a starving ghost being reincarnated.

When they couldn't get anything else, they dipped the flatbread into the sour and spicy broth, licking their lips one by one, feeling as if they had eaten something, yet also as if they hadn't, and had forgotten what it tasted like.

They felt a pang of regret; they should have eaten more slowly and hadn't had a chance to savor the food properly. But if they hadn't eaten slowly, they wouldn't have had much to eat, as others would have snatched it all.

In the end, they all sighed: "Sigh, the Lu family is really stingy, only giving us two boxes."

Unlike them, Du Hangwu ate a box by himself. He had never tasted anything so delicious. He was delighted and amazed that such a magical food existed in the world. It was both sour and spicy, and every bite was unforgettable. Halfway through the meal, he felt warm and, under the envious gazes of the other officials, he took off his down jacket.

In the middle of the night, Du Hangwu got up to relieve himself. A long time passed, and his colleagues thought something had happened to him, so they all rushed to look for him.

When Du Hangwu returned, his face was ashen. He stopped the junior officer and said, "Keep an eye on the third son of the Lu family and see if he really has the miracle drug."

The junior officer immediately agreed!
The next day, when Gu Xingzhao woke up, he found that all the group chats in the university had exploded, and everyone was talking about Lei Ping.

She took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and drank it while browsing the group chat.

Alumnus 1: I remember she had a boyfriend in college, but he was fickle and secretly went after Gu Xingzhao. Gu Xingzhao told her about it, and I was there at the time. This girl actually spoke up for the scumbag and said that if Gu Xingzhao hadn't seduced him, her boyfriend would never have changed his mind!

Alumnus 2: I remember this too. It caused quite a stir back then. Gu Xingzhao was really unlucky. He kindly told her, but ended up getting himself into trouble.

Alumnus 3: Oh my god, the scumbag is going to cheat on her, and she's even defending him. Why break up with him? Just lock them up.

Alumnus 4: Exactly! This woman is so adorable. She even wants men who cheat on her. They should be together forever. Why did they break up?
Alumna 5: My neighbor in the dorm, I heard that the guy was cheating on her with several women at the same time and even took them to his rented apartment. Then this girl caught them, and that's when they broke up.

Alumnus 6: LOL, she was still acting pitiful on her live stream last night, begging for big donations, but she was scolded until the stream ended because she didn't receive any donations. This generation of netizens is really amazing, they can dig up everything. I heard that she was looking for brothers everywhere in high school, leading people to isolate female classmates, and even blocking people outside the school. It's disgusting.

Alumnus 7: I saw it. It said that the parents were also invited. As a result, the Lei family protected the girl and even told the victim to reflect on why she was bullied. I heard that the girl later developed mental problems and dropped out of school. The Lei family is disgusting.

Alumnus 8: If this woman hadn't gone live last night, she wouldn't have been stripped bare, down to her last shred of underwear. She's desperate for fame; she's really reaping what she sowed.
Gu Xingzhao was looking at the chat history when Lei Ping's message suddenly popped up. She frowned and clicked on it to read.

Lei Ping: Gu Xingzhao, I was wrong, I apologize to you, please help me explain online!

Lei Ping: Those people came to my house, and my mother was so angry this morning that she collapsed and had to go to the hospital. Please help me explain and tell those people to stop coming to me!

Lei Ping: I'm sorry, but my mother is innocent.

The second update is here! Sorry for the delay, my darlings!

(Xiong Er bows 90 degrees in apology) Hehe, I'll do it again next time.
