Chapter 8
This is Much More Interesting Than Being the Demon Lord
Unable to refuse Ning Yechen’s kindness, Luo Ruying could only open her red lips shyly and take the spoonful of medicinal porridge into her mouth…
She was over four hundred years old, yet she was being fed like a child…
And by a mere mortal, no less. If this were to spread, she wouldn’t have the face to see anyone…
Luo Ruying chewed the medicinal porridge with a slight blush on her cheeks, her beautiful eyes suddenly widening.
As the porridge melted in her mouth, the rich fragrance of the medicine and ingredients filled her senses, and a warm current flowed into her body, nourishing her meridians.
This was no ordinary medicinal porridge!
It was infused with numerous heavenly herbs and spirit medicines, and even contained the incredibly tender and flavorful Silverfin Spirit Fish!
She had often eaten it in the Heavenly Realm and recognized the taste immediately!
Not only could the Silverfin Spirit Fish heal internal injuries and hidden wounds, but it could also dredge the meridians and replenish spiritual energy.
Even in the Heavenly Realm, the Silverfin Spirit Fish was a rare sight!
Yet, she was actually eating Silverfin Spirit Fish porridge in the Mortal Realm!
And it was incredibly delicious…
“This, this medicinal porridge… you made it?”
Luo Ruying asked, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief.
“That’s right. Is it good?”
Ning Yechen asked back with a smile.
“Delicious…”
Luo Ruying replied instinctively, then immediately shook her head.
Now was not the time to discuss whether it was delicious or not!
The question was, why was there Silverfin Spirit Fish in the Mortal Realm?!
“The fish used in the porridge… where did you get it?”
“Hmm? There’s a lake not far behind the house. I caught it there.”
“Caught it in the lake…?”
Luo Ruying was astonished, staring at Ning Yechen with suspicion.
The Silverfin Spirit Fish had extremely demanding living conditions. It had to live in a spirit spring with abundant spiritual energy, otherwise, it would rot and die in an instant!
How could it possibly live in a lake in the Mortal Realm?
She suspected he was lying to her!
First, it was the heavenly herbs and spirit medicines, and now it was the Silverfin Spirit Fish. How could there be so many rare treasures in this small forest?
“I’m not lying to you, wife. I really caught it in the lake. If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to see it later.”
Ning Yechen met Luo Ruying’s scrutinizing gaze with sincerity as he explained.
He wasn’t lying. The heavenly herbs and spirit medicines were indeed gathered from the mountains, just that he had planted them there himself a hundred years ago.
The Silverfin Spirit Fish was also caught from the lake, but again, he had stocked it himself…
“Alright…”
Seeing that Ning Yechen genuinely didn’t seem to be lying, Luo Ruying didn’t press him further.
Although she was full of doubts, she decided to trust his words.
After all, he was just a mortal; it was impossible for him to obtain these heavenly herbs and spirit medicines or the Silverfin Spirit Fish out of thin air.
She would personally verify it later.
“Wife, ah~”
Seeing that Luo Ruying had stopped questioning, Ning Yechen continued to scoop up the medicinal porridge and bring it to her lips.
Luo Ruying opened her mouth and ate mouthful after mouthful, gradually putting her previous concerns aside.
The two continued feeding each other intimately, unaware that a little one had already woken up and was staring at them with wide, round eyes.
Luo Ruying noticed Luo Hongye awake and staring at her just as she was being fed another mouthful. Her face flushed red, and in her fluster, she choked and coughed violently…
Being seen by her child being fed like this was simply mortifying!
“Cough, cough, Ye Ye… you’re awake…”
Luo Ruying composed herself and reached out to pick up Luo Hongye, but the blush on her face hadn’t faded yet.
“Daddy is feeding Mommy~”
“Just like Mommy feeds Ye Ye~”
Luo Hongye glanced at Ning Yechen, then looked up at Luo Ruying with a smile.
Luo Ruying was instantly embarrassed and gave Ning Yechen a playful glare.
It was all this guy’s fault. She had said she could eat by herself, but he insisted on feeding her…
And now their child had seen it…
Luo Ruying’s charming expression, however, made Ning Yechen steal another glance at her.
He hadn’t realized it before, but his wife looked quite cute when she was slightly angry…
So women could also have a cute side when they were angry!
“Daddy, Ye Ye wants Daddy to feed her too.”
Luo Hongye didn’t think there was anything wrong with her parents’ actions. On the contrary, she was quite happy and opened her small mouth, craning her neck to be fed as well.
Ning Yechen gently rubbed Luo Hongye’s little head and scooped a spoonful of medicinal porridge into her mouth.
This rare and nourishing porridge was also highly beneficial for Luo Hongye, who was still growing.
Luo Hongye’s eyes narrowed with delight, her adorable chubby cheeks puffed out. Sitting in Luo Ruying’s embrace, she gently swayed her body.
In a sweet, childish voice, she declared:
“Yummy~”
“Daddy’s is tastier than Mommy’s. Ye Ye wants more~”
Luo Ruying’s face instantly flushed with embarrassment and dejection.
So, everything she had made before wasn’t tasty…?
As a Heavenly Empress, it was normal for her to not be skilled in cooking, right…?
But hearing that she was inferior to a mere mortal, even if it was just in cooking, still made Luo Ruying feel a deep sense of defeat…
“If it’s delicious, then Ye Ye should eat more~”
Hearing that his child liked it, Ning Yechen was also delighted and scooped another spoonful of medicinal porridge into Luo Hongye’s mouth.
For some reason, his heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.
It was a thousand times more satisfying than defeating a Heavenly Emperor!
It was all worth it, hiding here for over a hundred years, practicing cooking every day, and honing his culinary skills!
He hadn’t expected that these casually acquired culinary skills would come in handy now…
It was a fortunate coincidence.
Noticing Luo Ruying’s dejected and resentful expression, Ning Yechen found it amusing and scooped another spoonful of medicinal porridge, bringing it to her lips.
“Wife, it’s your turn~”
Luo Ruying: “…”
Feeling like she was being fed like a child, the resentment on Luo Ruying’s face deepened.
However, seeing Luo Hongye looking up at her with anticipation, she opened her mouth and silently ate the porridge offered to her.
She had to admit, it did seem to be a little bit better than what she made…
Seeing that Ning Yechen was feeding them but not eating himself, Luo Ruying couldn’t help but ask:
“Aren’t… you going to eat…?”
“I’m not hungry, wife. You and our child can have it.”
Ning Yechen said with a smile.
He was enjoying the process of feeding them. As the Demon Lord, he could go without food forever if he wanted to.
The occasional meal was purely for the enjoyment of taste.
Luo Ruying, of course, didn’t know that Ning Yechen was the infamous Demon Lord. She only saw him as a mortal.
She had heard that food was especially precious in the Mortal Realm, especially for those living in poverty in the mountains, who sometimes even had to resort to eating tree bark.
Glancing around the room, she noticed there didn’t seem to be any stored food. Assuming Ning Yechen was sacrificing his own share for them, she was deeply touched.
She proactively snatched the remaining porridge from Ning Yechen’s hand and, with a slight blush, scooped a spoonful and brought it to his lips…
“I, I and Ye Ye are full. You can have the rest…”
As a former Heavenly Empress, she was actually feeding a mortal…
If she told anyone, they probably wouldn’t believe it…
But this was also to repay his kindness…
Besides, he was considered her husband now, so it was within the realm of reason…
Ning Yechen was slightly surprised that Luo Ruying would take the initiative to feed him.
With a slight smile, he readily opened his mouth and accepted…
This wasn’t the first time he had been fed like this. His subordinates had done it for him before, but this felt completely different.
This was much more interesting than being the Demon Lord…!
