Luo Ruying couldn't resist Ning Yechen's kindness, so she reluctantly parted her red lips and took the spoon filled with medicinal porridge into her mouth...
She was over 400 years old, but being fed like a child made her feel embarrassed...
If word of this spread, she wouldn't be able to face anyone anymore...
Luo Ruying blushed slightly as she chewed the medicinal porridge. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes lit up.
The medicinal porridge melted in her mouth, releasing a rich aroma of herbs and ingredients that warmed her meridians and body.
This medicinal porridge was no ordinary concoction!
It contained fairy grass elixirs and the delicate Yinqiao Spirit Fish, without any fishy smell!
She had often eaten this in the fairy world, and she recognized it instantly!
Yinqiao Spirit Fish could heal bones and residual wounds, clear meridians, and replenish spiritual power.
Even in the fairy world, these silver-green spirit fish were rare!
And here she was, eating porridge made from them in the human world!
It tasted surprisingly delicious...
"Did you make this medicinal porridge yourself?" Luo Ruying asked incredulously, opening her eyes wide.
"Yes, do you like it?" Ning Yechen asked with a smile.
"It's... tasty..." Luo Ruying replied instinctively, then immediately shook her head.
Now wasn't the time to discuss the taste!
But why were there Yinqiao Spirit fish in the human world?
"Where did you get the cooked fish from?"
"Huh? There's a lake not far from the mountain behind the house. I caught the fish there."
"Caught in the lake...?" Luo Ruying was surprised and looked suspiciously at Ning Yechen.
Yinqiao Spirit Fish required a spiritual spring with abundant spiritual power to survive; otherwise, they would die within minutes!
How could they survive in a lake in the human world?
She suspected he was lying!
First, it was fairy grass elixirs, and now it was Yinqiao Spirit fish. How could there be so many rare things in this small forest?
"I'm not lying to you. I really caught them 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 sincerely and explained.
He wasn't lying. The celestial herbs and elixirs were all collected from the mountains, but he had planted them there himself a hundred years ago.
He had also stocked the Yinqiao Spirit Fish in the lake...
"Alright..." Luo Ruying saw that Ning Yechen seemed sincere and stopped questioning further.
Though full of doubts, she decided to trust Ning Yechen's words.
After all, he was just a mortal; it was impossible for him to obtain these fairy grass elixirs or Yinqiao Spirit fish out of thin air.
She would verify it for herself later.
"Madam..."
Seeing Luo Ruying stop questioning, Ning Yechen continued to scoop up the medicinal porridge and bring it to her mouth.
Luo Ruying opened her mouth and ate in one bite, gradually letting go of her earlier concerns.
The two of them fed each other affectionately, unaware that a little guy had woken up and was staring at their actions with big round eyes.
When Luo Ruying noticed that Luo Hongye had woken up and was staring at them, she blushed immediately, panicked, choked a little, and coughed several times...
It was so embarrassing to be seen by a child while being fed!
"Ahem, Ye... Ye Ye... You're awake..."
Luo Ruying calmed down and reached out to hug Luo Hongye, but the red glow on her face had not faded yet.
"Daddy is feeding mother~"
"Just like how mother feeds Ye Ye~"
Luo Hongye glanced at Ning Yechen, then looked up at Luo Ruying and smiled.
Luo Ruying was immediately embarrassed and glared at Ning Yechen angrily.
It was all his fault. He had said she could eat by herself, but he insisted on feeding her himself...
Now the child saw it...
Luo Ruying's charming look made Ning Yechen couldn't help but admire her.
He didn't expect her slightly angry look to be quite cute...
It turns out that women also have a cute side when they're angry!
"Daddy, feed me every night."
Luo Hongye didn't think there was anything wrong with her parents' behavior. Instead, she felt very happy. She opened her little mouth and stretched her neck to be fed.
Ning Yechen gently rubbed Luo Hongye's head, then scooped up a spoonful of medicinal porridge and fed it to her.
This rare medicinal porridge was also a great tonic for Luo Hongye, who was still growing.
Luo Hongye narrowed her eyes happily, raised her cute baby face, sat down, gently shook her body, opened her mouth, and said in a clear voice:
"Delicious~"
"Daddy's cooking is more delicious than mother's, even the porridge every night~"
Luo Ruying's face suddenly showed embarrassment and desolation.
It turns out that everything she cooked before wasn't delicious...
As the Empress of the Fairy World, it should be normal for her to not know how to cook...!
But to hear that she was inferior to a mortal, even in cooking, still made Luo Ruying feel a deep sense of defeat...
"If it tastes good, eat more every night~"
Happy that the child liked it, Ning Yechen scooped up the medicinal porridge again and fed it to Luo Hongye.
I don't know why, but his heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.
It was ten thousand times more satisfying than killing an Immortal Emperor!
It wasn't in vain that he had hidden here for over a hundred years, practicing cooking by himself every day, and learning good cooking skills!
He didn't expect that the cooking skills he casually picked up would come in handy today...
Ning Yechen saw Luo Ruying's lonely and resentful expression, which he found funny. He scooped up the medicinal porridge and brought it to her mouth.
"Madam, it's your turn~"
Luo Ruying: "..."
Being fed like a child made Luo Ruying's face look even more resentful.
However, seeing Luo Hongye look at her with anticipation, she opened her mouth and silently ate the medicinal porridge handed to her.
I have to admit, it does taste a little better than mine...
Seeing that Ning Yechen was feeding everyone except himself, Luo Ruying couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you going to eat...?"
"Your husband isn't hungry, you and children can eat."
Ning Yechen smiled.
He was enjoying the process of feeding. As a demon king, it didn't matter if he never ate.
Eating occasionally was just for the pleasure of it.
Luo Ruying didn't know that Ning Yechen was the infamous Demon Lord; she only thought of him as a mortal.
She had heard that food in the human world was particularly precious, especially for poor mountain dwellers living in the mountains and forests, who might even resort to chewing on tree bark.
She took a look around the room and saw that there was no food stored in it. She thought that Ning Yechen was wronging himself by giving them the food and was deeply moved.
She took the remaining medicinal porridge from Ning Yechen's hand, scooped up the medicinal porridge with a slightly blushing face, and fed it to him...
"I... Yeye and I are full, so you eat the rest..."
As the former Empress of the Fairy World, she was feeding a mortal...
Maybe no one would believe it...
But this was also to repay his kindness...
Moreover, he was her husband, so it was justifiable...
Ning Yechen was slightly surprised that Luo Ruying had taken the initiative to feed him.
After smiling slightly, he accepted it happily...
This feeling of being fed wasn't the first time for him. His subordinates had done it to him before, but it felt completely different...
It was much more interesting than being a demon king...!
