Si Mingjing laughed in agreement. "That's great. Carp is very rich in protein, vitamins, and various minerals. It can increase bodily energy and replenish nutrition, making it suitable for those with a weak physique. I've been feeling a bit weak recently and need to properly nourish myself."
Lady Duanmu expressed concern, "City Lord, are you ill?"
"No, it's just a few days each month."
She was referring to her estrus cycle, but Lady Duanmu mistook it for her menstrual period and did not inquire further, simply saying, "It should arrive today. You'll be able to have fresh carp soup this evening."
After chatting with Lady Duanmu for half an hour, Si Mingjing hung up the phone.
She took out an antique-looking box from the drawer of her desk; inside was the Dragon Spit Pearl.
It had been nearly two months since she last opened the Dragon Spit Pearl. Today, feeling a whim, she wanted to consume one to seek past memories.
