My Wife Looks Beautiful Even When She Eats

Elsewhere, after winding through the streets, Qi Yuan led Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying into another distinctive alley.

Both sides of the street were lined with all manner of snacks and foods, their mingled aromas nearly filling the entire roadway, fragrance spilling everywhere.

The street was also packed with bustling crowds, especially many people accompanied by their wives and children.

"This is the most prosperous and lively food street in Nanli Capital City."

"Besides Xuanqian's specialties, you can find foods from all the other nations here too!"

Qi Yuan walked ahead as she introduced the place to Ning Yechen and the others.

She had originally thought that powerful cultivators like Luo Ruying might not be particularly interested in these snacks and delicacies.

Yet after arriving at the food street, Luo Ruying deliberately slowed her steps.

Born and raised in the Immortal Realm, Luo Ruying had eaten immortal fruits and spiritual delicacies, drunk from spiritual springs, and had almost never seen these mortal snacks.

After all, people of the Immortal Realm never needed to cook and fill their stomachs like mortals did. They relied entirely on drawing in the spiritual essence of heaven and earth to nourish their bodies.

Even children born in the Immortal Realm only needed to consume immortal fruits and spiritual liquid.

Luo Hongye, nestled in Luo Ruying's arms, widened her bright eyes and curiously looked around without pause, drool nearly dripping from the corner of her mouth...

When they passed a stall displaying candied fruit skewers, Luo Hongye stared without blinking, her little mouth unconsciously falling open...

Seeing this, Ning Yechen smiled indulgently and walked up to the stall, raising two fingers.

"Boss, two skewers, please."

"Coming right up~"

The stall owner cheerfully responded, immediately picking up two candied fruit skewers and handing them to Ning Yechen. He did not forget to praise him as well.

"Sir, you're truly blessed. Your wife and child are as beautiful as flowers."

"Right?"

"I think I'm very blessed too, to have such a beautiful wife and adorable child."

The stall owner's sincere congratulations delighted Ning Yechen. His proud nose practically tilted toward the heavens, and in his joy, he simply bought out everything at the stall.

Behind him, Luo Ruying could not help blushing as she shot Ning Yechen a glare.

Someone praised you once, and you happily bought everything from their stall...

"Here, Yeye, eat."

Ning Yechen held a large bundle of candied fruit skewers and reached out, offering one of them to Luo Hongye.

Candied fruit skewers were simply pieces of fruit strung together and coated in a layer of hardened syrup.

Luo Hongye's big eyes practically screamed that she wanted one, but she still turned to Luo Ruying and softly asked,

"Mother, can Yeye eat it...?"

"Your father bought it especially for you. Go ahead and eat."

How could Luo Ruying fail to see the longing written all over Luo Hongye's face? She nodded with an indulgent smile.

She had never properly cherished her child before. Now, her greatest wish was for her child to live happily and carefree.

Luo Hongye immediately stretched out her chubby little hands, took the candied fruit skewer from Ning Yechen, and opened her mouth to bite into it.

Worried that the bamboo skewer might poke her child, Luo Ruying deliberately took it from Luo Hongye's hand, removed the candied fruit from the stick, and fed it into her mouth.

Luo Hongye puffed up her round little cheeks, her face overflowing with a brilliant, joyous smile.

Just as Luo Ruying was feeding Luo Hongye one bite after another, another candied fruit skewer suddenly appeared before her lips.

Luo Ruying raised her brows and looked over, only to find Ning Yechen holding the other skewer to her mouth.

He was watching her with a captivating smile on his face.

"My wife, this skewer is for you."

"For me...?"

Luo Ruying felt a little embarrassed all at once.

As a former female emperor of the Immortal Realm, would it not be somewhat inappropriate for her to eat a mortal snack like this...

And to have Ning Yechen hold it in his hand and feed her, no less...

Under Ning Yechen's expectant gaze, Luo Ruying reached up to brush several loose strands of hair away from her cheek. Her face slightly flushed, she gently parted her red lips, took the candied fruit into her mouth, and bit down.

No one knew her identity anyway. It was fine to indulge herself a little, wasn't it...

Luo Ruying's graceful, delicate movements and peerless beauty, bashful as a flower awaiting bloom, made Ning Yechen standing before her stare for a moment longer. Then he blurted out,

"My wife, you really look beautiful even when you eat~"

"Cough, cough... W-what nonsense are you saying...?"

Upon hearing that, Luo Ruying covered her mouth and choked several times, casting Ning Yechen a charming, reproachful glare.

This fellow suddenly said something like that, making her so embarrassed...

"Your husband isn't lying. If you don't believe me, ask Yeye."

"Yeye, does Mother look pretty when she eats~?"

Ning Yechen turned with a smile and asked Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying's arms.

"Pretty~"

"Mother... is the prettiest~"

Luo Hongye raised both hands with a smile, happily shouting as she chewed her food.

With so many passersby around them, Luo Ruying became even more embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed crimson as she glared at Ning Yechen again.

That father-daughter pair was making her even more embarrassed...

Qi Yuan, standing nearby, also felt somewhat embarrassed and envious.

Sister Luo and Brother Ning had such a wonderful relationship...

Only then did Luo Ruying remember that Qi Yuan was beside them. Slightly embarrassed, she offered her candied fruit skewer and asked,

"Would you like some...?"

"No, no, thank you, Sister Luo."

Qi Yuan repeatedly waved her hands and declined. Then she smiled at Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying's arms.

"If little Yeye likes to eat, I know lots of other delicious things too."

"Would you like Big Sister to buy them for you?"

She had never seen a child as exquisite, adorable, obedient, and sensible as Luo Hongye.

From the very first glance, she had inexplicably felt fond of her.

Luo Hongye had always only been close to Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen. She generally felt unsafe and frightened around strangers.

When Qi Yuan spoke to her, she shrank further into Luo Ruying's arms. But upon hearing about delicious food, she could not resist secretly glancing at Qi Yuan and timidly asking,

"R-really...?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Big Sister never lies to adorable children!"

Seeing Luo Hongye's soft, timid, adorable appearance, Qi Yuan's eyes lit up as she spoke with utter excitement.

She was finally willing to talk to her!

Little Yeye was truly so adorable. She really wanted to reach out and pinch those plump little cheeks!

She also wanted to pick her up and give her a kiss...!

Watching Qi Yuan's excited expression from the side, Ning Yechen suddenly felt that he needed to be more wary of this girl...

She might even abduct his child...

In the end, tempted by Qi Yuan's vivid descriptions of how delicious everything was, Luo Hongye still fell for it...

Luo Ruying carried Luo Hongye along the street, eating and eating all the way.

Anything Luo Hongye liked or was curious about, Ning Yechen would buy for her without hesitation.

Qi Yuan also took the initiative to buy all kinds of snacks to feed Luo Hongye.

Candied hawthorn skewers, rice cakes, baked flatbreads, tofu pudding, steamed buns...

Luo Hongye nearly ate her way through the entire food street.

Qi Yuan and Luo Hongye's relationship also successfully grew a tiny bit closer...

After walking through more than half the street, the three found a stone bench and sat down.

It was not because they were tired from walking, but because they were carrying far too many snacks and planned to sit down so Luo Hongye could eat slowly.

At that moment, Luo Hongye sat in Luo Ruying's arms, holding a steamed bun larger than her face and happily taking bite after bite.

Luo Ruying helplessly and indulgently took out a handkerchief to wipe the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.

Just then, a burst of noisy commotion sounded from far away, and alarm bells rang throughout the entire city.

The city guards all rushed toward the distant disturbance.

Some people who had fled over explained the situation to everyone around them as they panted for breath.

Just moments ago, three mysterious people had attacked Jiang Li and his group!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Li and everyone with him had been killed!

Only Jiang Li himself seemed to have survived by sheer luck!
