Chapter 1328: Luck Like a Dragon (Part 2)

~14 min read 2,628 words

Although the Saint and the guards were on guard, Miss Luo Quan did not receive any collision during the parade.

The fans were still fanatical, but only stretched their hands out hard, and their bodies still stuck to the spot.

Miss Luo Quan did not live up to their enthusiasm, and also stretched out her hand to hit them one by one.

This scene scared Fafreya and others to sweat, fearing that a big hand would suddenly appear in the crowd to pull Miss Luo Quan to the ground.

If Miss Luo Quan knew their thoughts, she would probably laugh at them for being too worried.

Her being a saint doesn't infringe upon anyone's rights; to put it bluntly, she's just like a mascot, so why do they feel there are always treacherous people out to harm her?

Unless the Dawn Church is prepared to use her identity to make some articles in the parliament of the Divine Blessing Federation.

But to be reasonable, the influence of the Dawn Church is already very large. Benjamin III'

The most important point is that it is not just the Dawn Church of the Universe that believes in the Heavenly Father; His faith can be said to be spread across the entire universe, including forces from universe-level civilizations.

This is equivalent to saying these are all natural allies of the Dawn Church, and since Benjamin III has no ambition, it is truly hard to imagine anyone coming to provoke her.

However, Miss Luo Quan has never liked to think with her head buried; since she can't figure it out, she will just go ask the Pope in a while.

"God loves you, and I love you too."

After taking a tour of the Saint Summer Palace, Miss Luo Quan had basically met with all the believers.

Of course, her hands cannot stretch as far as her gaze can, and she can only touch the people in front of her, so she couldn't high-five everyone.

This made countless believers feel regretful, while simultaneously swearing to pick a good spot next year.

As for those who managed to high-five Miss Luo Quan, they also swore never to wash their hands from this day on, waiting to touch her again when they meet next year.

Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan doesn't have mind-reading powers; if she knew about this thought, she would definitely have put on a "subway old man" face.

After meeting the believers, Miss Luo Quan returned to the cathedral.

Seeing the Pope standing in the center, she walked straight up to him: "Pope, I have a question, and I don't know if I should ask it or not."

"I will listen carefully to every word of yours," Benjamin III said, bowing respectfully with his right hand over his chest.

"Does our Dawn Church have any enemies in the universe?" Miss Luo Quan asked straightforwardly.

"How could that be?!" Benjamin III denied it immediately. "We have always been kind to others, and we are even willing to share the Holy Land with other religions; how could we possibly have any enemies?"

Miss Luo Quan was puzzled: "Then why do you, Pope, always act as if you are afraid that I might be plotted against?"

"This..."

"At first, I just thought this was normal concern, but later I discovered that you seem even more nervous than my mother, which is truly hard to understand.

After all, my mother is the person who loves me most in this world, and even she hasn't shown such intense emotions as you, Pope. Could it be that you...?"

"Saint, this joke must not be made!" Benjamin III was scared pale and hurriedly waved his hands.

Before faith, everyone is equal.

Before the Saint, even though he is the noble Pope, he is no different from ordinary believers, and may even have more restrictions.

Ordinary believers can be Miss Luo Quan's fans and can make some harmless jokes with her.

But if he, the Pope, dared to do that, it would be the height of disrespect, and in the Middle Ages, he would definitely have been sent to the stake.

So, even though Miss Luo Quan merely expressed a guess, it had already scared Benjamin III out of his wits.

"If that is not the reason, then you must give me an explanation. I truly dislike this feeling of being kept in the dark," Miss Luo Quan said, looking at the Pope with a serious expression.

Benjamin III's lips trembled for a moment, and finally, he sighed: "Actually, this all stems from my selfishness.

I assume you, Saint, know that the radiance of the Heavenly Father is not only spread in the Universe; there are civilizations that believe in the Heavenly Father all over the cosmos.

But there can only be one Saint, and every church longs to have a Saint stationed there to reflect its own orthodoxy.

In fact, over the past few months, many churches from other planets have approached me with proposals to invite you to tour their planets, but I have suppressed them all and did not tell you.

Because I am worried that once you go, you will no longer stay at the Dawn Church."

Hearing this, Miss Luo Quan laughed: "So you were actually not worried about my safety, but worried that people from other churches would contact me and let me know the truth?"

"That is exactly it. Of course, I am also truly concerned about your safety, Saint; I can swear to this before the statue of the Heavenly Father," Benjamin III said, raising his hand with a solemn face.

"There is no need for that, Pope," Miss Luo Quan waved her hand gently. "Don't you know my personality? I am a sentimental person. You have given me all kinds of preferential treatment since we first met; how could I not cherish our old friendship?

If you are still worried that I will run away, then you are questioning my character."

Benjamin III blushed: "Of course I am not worried about your character, Saint; I am worried that people from other churches will not play by the rules and take you away by force."

Miss Luo Quan asked with a smile: "Pope, put yourself in their shoes. If another civilization produced a Saint, would you dare to snatch her away in front of the believers of the universe?"

Benjamin III shook his head: "Of course I wouldn't dare. Violating the will of the Saint is also a great disrespect to the Saint."

"Then that settles it, so you don't need to worry too much." Miss Luo Quan raised her hand, intending to pat the Pope on the shoulder, but thinking that he is a person of several hundred years old, it was somewhat inappropriate in terms of seniority, so she finally changed it to patting her own belly.

"Taking a step back, there is also the Empress protecting me. If they aren't even afraid of the Empress, then to be honest, whether you worry or not makes no difference."

"That is indeed the case," Benjamin III said, bowing his head again with his hand over his chest.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Tomorrow is the final of the Sparrow God Championship, and after that, I have to go to the hospital for a check-up, so I need to rest."

Miss Luo Quan had been walking all day; at this moment, not only were her waist and legs sore, but she also felt somewhat listless and urgently needed to go to bed.

Benjamin III hurriedly said: "Please take care of your health."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Miss Luo Quan went directly to Bai Xingwei's room through the portal of the Saint Summer Palace.

"Yo, our Saint has returned."

Bai Xingwei was slurping noodles in the room and greeted her with a grin when she saw Miss Luo Quan appear.

"What are you eating? It smells so good."

Miss Luo Quan sniffed, and her mouth couldn't stop watering.

"Qixian rice noodles, delicious as hell."

Bai Xingwei said, pouring out half a bowl and pushing it in front of Miss Luo Quan.

"My god, such a big bowl, can you finish it by yourself?" Miss Luo Quan was quite surprised. "I never felt you had such a big appetite before."

Bai Xingwei chuckled: "Can't my appetite grow? Just like you now, your appetite is two or three times what it used to be; you can eat more than the pigs raised at my house."

"What kind of talk is that!" Miss Luo Quan picked up her chopsticks, dissatisfied. "I am not one person now, so of course I have to eat more. I think you look more like a sow."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and took a big slurp of the rice noodles, then discovered that this stuff was indeed delicious, and took another slurp.

"Look at you, slurping away like that; and you say you're not a sow." Bai Xingwei laughed until she could barely close her mouth.

Miss Luo Quan rolled her eyes at her, too lazy to argue, as her mouth had a more important task now, which was to finish the bowl of invincible-tasting rice noodles in front of her.

Ten minutes later, after slurping for a full ten minutes, Miss Luo Quan lay on her side on the sofa, holding her belly, which was bulging high.

"Ouch, I haven't been this full in a long time. Where on earth did you buy these rice noodles? The taste is just too top-tier!"

Bai Xingwei wasn't doing much better, sitting next to Miss Luo Quan holding her own belly: "It's just current vegetarian food, Master Long's Qixian rice noodles. The ingredients have nothing special, but the sauce packet is truly delicious."

"That must be a secret recipe," Miss Luo Quan said, completely satisfied. "It would take me a lot of effort to make food with this taste myself; instant food must use a secret recipe."

Bai Xingwei shook her head: "No, it's just a normal vegetarian recipe, and it was unlocked a long time ago. It's just that Master Long made it earlier and has a good reputation, so it sells well.

Even if other brands of rice noodles have a different taste, it won't be a huge difference."

"In that case, this recipe can be used by anyone!" Miss Luo Quan's spirits lifted upon hearing this.

"Of course, the recipe can be found with a search online."

"That's great!"

Miss Luo Quan revealed a smile, because she had found another huge business opportunity.

These instant rice noodles are not much different from instant noodles.

How big is the instant noodle market in the country now?

From white-collar workers sitting in offices to workers at construction sites and even students, who hasn't eaten instant noodles?

And if you are busy with work or too lazy to cook, instant noodles are simply the best choice; they are cheaper than takeout and faster than takeout.

As for nutrition, if I'm already eating instant noodles, do I still need to worry about the issue of nutrition?

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan couldn't think of a reason why a product that combines the attributes of instant noodles while being tastier and more nutritious wouldn't explode in popularity.

The snail noodles next door have such a strange taste, yet they still have a huge following. Miss Luo Quan feels that as long as she does good promotion through the Bilibili platform, making these Master Long's Qixian rice noodles a success won't be a problem.

Of course, the ingredients inside will definitely need to be changed, as Earth doesn't have such a rich ingredient library as the Universe.

Fortunately, the system can help her solve these problems. After downloading the recipe online, she handed it directly to the system to adapt it to local conditions.

Many years later, when instant food tycoon Miss Luo Quan gazes at her business empire, she will definitely remember that afternoon when she and Bai Xingwei slurped rice noodles until their bellies were round.

Such a passage suddenly came to Miss Luo Quan's mind, and she felt that if she used it as the opening for her autobiography, it would definitely have a very literary feel.

Just as she was daydreaming, the Lingxi Mirror suddenly vibrated twice.

Miss Luo Quan picked it up and saw it was a call from Ye Zhining, so she immediately tapped to answer.

"Remember you have a check-up tomorrow? Don't eat anything, and it's best to drink less water too."

Miss Luo Quan widened her eyes: "Fasting now? Then if I wait until the afternoon, won't I starve to death?"

"Eat some compressed biscuits to tide yourself over. If you eat too much, external observation might have errors, and then we'll have to send out nanobots.

You wouldn't want some strange things entering your body, would you? Although they are all operated by female doctors, well, hehe... think about it yourself."

Hearing Ye Zhining's suggestive laughter, Miss Luo Quan's whole body tightened.

If these things of unknown origin really entered her body, it would indeed be quite disgusting.

Although she had had a colonoscopy before, the experience was truly not very good; there was a very strange feeling, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

After that, Miss Luo Quan never had a similar check-up again.

Now that the matter is brought up again, she naturally has some psychological trauma.

So, after thinking for less than a second, she immediately replied: "I know, I promise not to eat a single thing during this time!"

"You don't have to be that nervous," Ye Zhining said, looking at Miss Luo Quan with a smile. "Eating some nutrient solution or compressed biscuits is fine; the most basic nutrients for the body must be maintained, otherwise you'll faint before you even get to the check-up."

Miss Luo Quan nodded: "I know, but I just ate a big bowl of rice noodles; there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"So that's why I came to notify you a few hours in advance, because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to control your mouth," Ye Zhining revealed a smile of everything being under control. "Eating now is no problem, but if you eat again later, it's hard to say.

By the way, I remember you still have a match to play tomorrow morning, right? The final of the Sparrow God Championship."

"Yeah, yeah, the organizers said no one wanted to play against me, so I've been getting byes and went straight to the final," Miss Luo Quan said, hands on her hips, triumphantly.

Ye Zhining said with a half-smile: "Your luck in playing cards is indeed very strong, but those opponents tomorrow are not so easy to deal with. In Earth's terms, they are also a bunch of people possessing 'Conqueror's Luck'; they have been 'chosen ones' since they were small, so they are not opponents you can win against easily."

"Can they be more 'chosen' than me?" Miss Luo Quan chuckled, indicating she didn't care at all.

She is a dignified transmigrator, a darling of the Great Universe's will; would she be afraid of any 'chosen ones'?

They are just a few mortals with slightly better luck; how could they possibly be her opponents?

However, Ye Zhining didn't understand where Miss Luo Quan's confidence came from; in any case, she didn't sense any particularly exaggerated luck on Miss Luo Quan.

Perhaps all the luck was added to her appearance?

If that's the case, then it truly deserves the title of "invincible in the world."

"In any case, don't be careless; don't prepare for so long only to lose in the end," Ye Zhining reminded her.
