This is much more interesting than when I was the Demon Lord

Luo Ruying could not refuse Ning Yechen's kindness, so she could only part her red lips in embarrassment and take the spoonful of Medicinal Porridge into her mouth...

She was already over four hundred years old, yet she was being fed like a little child...

And the other party was only a mortal. If this got out, she would have no face to meet anyone...

Luo Ruying chewed the Medicinal Porridge in her mouth with a faint blush on her face, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

The Medicinal Porridge melted in her mouth. A rich medicinal fragrance and the aroma of the ingredients filled her lips and tongue, and a warm, cozy current flowed into her body, nourishing the meridians throughout her body.

This Medicinal Porridge was not ordinary Medicinal Porridge either!

Many Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine had been blended into it, along with Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish that was incomparably tender and had no strange fishy taste at all!

She had often eaten it when she was in the Immortal Realm, and she recognized it with one bite!

Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish could not only heal the foundation of the bones and the lingering hidden injuries throughout the body, it could also clear the meridians and fill the body with spiritual power.

Even in the Immortal Realm, Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish was not something one could often see!

Yet she had actually eaten fish Medicinal Porridge made from Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish in the human world!

And it even tasted extremely delicious...

"Th-this Medicinal Porridge... you made it?"

Luo Ruying widened her beautiful eyes and asked with an expression of disbelief.

"That's right. Is it good?"

Ning Yechen smiled and asked in return.

"It's good..."

Luo Ruying answered subconsciously, then immediately shook her head.

Now was not the time to investigate whether it was good or not!

The question was, why would there be Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish in the human world?!

"The fish used to make this... where did you get it?"

"Hmm? There's a lake not far behind the house, in the back mountain. I caught the fish there."

"Caught it in the lake...?"

Luo Ruying was very astonished and stared at Ning Yechen with a suspicious gaze.

The living conditions of Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish were extremely harsh. They had to live in a spiritual spring abundant with spiritual power, or they would rot and die in minutes!

How could they possibly live in a lake in the human world?

She suspected that he had lied to her!

First there had been Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine, and now there was Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish. How could there be so many rare treasures in this little forest?

"Your husband isn't lying to you. I really caught it in the lake. If you don't believe me, I'll take Wife to have a look later."

Ning Yechen sincerely met Luo Ruying's scrutinizing gaze and explained.

He had not lied. The Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine had all been picked from the mountain. It was just that he had planted them there himself a hundred years ago.

The Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish had also been caught in the lake, though he had also been the one to stock them inside...

"All right..."

Seeing that Ning Yechen truly did not seem to be lying again, Luo Ruying did not press him any further.

Although her heart was piled high with doubts, she still decided to believe Ning Yechen's words.

After all, he was only a mortal. It was impossible for him to truly produce these Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine or Silver Hawthorn Spirit Fish out of thin air.

She would simply go and verify it herself later.

"Wife, ah~"

Seeing that Luo Ruying no longer asked, Ning Yechen continued to scoop up the Medicinal Porridge and feed it to her lips.

Luo Ruying opened her mouth and ate it bite by bite, gradually tossing her previous concerns to the back of her mind.

The two of them continued feeding like this with intimate gestures, unaware that a little thing had already woken up and was watching their movements with wide, round eyes.

When Luo Ruying discovered that Luo Hongye had woken up and was staring at her, she happened to be fed another bite. Her face instantly flushed red to the ears. In her panic, it caught in her throat, and she coughed hard several times...

Having her child see her being fed was simply mortifying!

"Cough, cough. Ye, Yeye... you're awake..."

Luo Ruying steadied herself and reached out to pick up Luo Hongye, though the rosy blush on her face had yet to fade.

"Father is feeding Mother~"

"Just like Mother feeds Yeye~"

Luo Hongye glanced at Ning Yechen, then raised her head to look at Luo Ruying and smiled.

Luo Ruying immediately grew embarrassed and glared coquettishly at Ning Yechen.

It was all this fellow's fault. She had said she could eat by herself, but he just had to feed her personally...

Now the child had seen it...

That one glance from Luo Ruying, full of boundless charm, instead made Ning Yechen unable to resist looking a little longer.

Who would have thought his wife looked quite cute when she was a little angry...

So women had a cute side even when they were angry!

"Father, Yeye wants Father to feed me too."

Luo Hongye did not feel there was anything wrong with Father and Mother's behavior. Instead, she was very happy, opening her little mouth and craning her neck, wanting to be fed too.

Ning Yechen gently rubbed Luo Hongye's little head, then scooped up a spoonful of Medicinal Porridge and fed it into her mouth as well.

This Medicinal Porridge, brewed from rare ingredients, was also greatly nourishing for Luo Hongye, who was still growing.

Luo Ruying happily narrowed her eyes, puffed out her adorable baby-fat cheeks, and sat in Luo Ruying's arms as she lightly swayed her little body.

In a milky little voice, she opened her mouth and said:

"Yummy~"

"Father's cooking is yummier than Mother's. Yeye wants more~"

Embarrassment and dejection immediately appeared on Luo Ruying's face.

So what she had made before had never tasted good...

As a female emperor of one side of the Immortal Realm, it should be very normal that she did not know how to cook...!

But hearing that she was inferior to a mere mortal, even if it was only in cooking, still made Luo Ruying feel a deep sense of collapse in her heart...

"If it's yummy, then Yeye should eat more~"

Hearing that the child liked it, Ning Yechen was also very happy inside. He scooped up more Medicinal Porridge and fed it into Luo Hongye's mouth again.

For some reason, his heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.

It was ten thousand times more satisfying than going off to destroy an Immortal Emperor!

At least it had not been in vain that, for over a hundred years, he had hidden here and practiced cooking for himself every day, learning a fine set of culinary skills!

He had never expected that the cooking skills he had casually practiced would now come in handy...

It could be considered a kind of chance coincidence.

Ning Yechen saw the dejected, resentful look on Luo Ruying's face and only found it amusing. He scooped up another spoonful of Medicinal Porridge and brought it to her lips.

"Wife, it's your turn~"

Luo Ruying: "..."

The feeling of being fed like a little child made the resentment on Luo Ruying's face deepen even more.

But when she saw Luo Hongye looking up at her with a heart full of expectation, she still opened her mouth and silently ate the Medicinal Porridge offered to her.

In her heart, she had no choice but to admit that it did indeed seem to be just a tiny bit better than hers...

Seeing that Ning Yechen had been feeding them the whole time but had not eaten anything himself, Luo Ruying could not help asking:

"You... aren't eating...?"

"Your husband isn't hungry. You and the child eat."

Ning Yechen smiled.

He was enjoying the process of feeding them. As the Demon Lord, even if he never ate again, it would not matter.

Eating a meal once in a while was entirely for the desire of his tongue and stomach, that was all.

Luo Ruying naturally did not know that Ning Yechen was the infamous Demon Lord. She only took him for a mere mortal.

She had heard that food in the human world was especially precious, particularly for those impoverished mountain households living in the forests, who might even pass their days gnawing on tree bark.

She glanced around the room and saw that there really did not seem to be much food stored there. Thinking Ning Yechen was wronging himself and giving the food to them, she was greatly moved.

She took the initiative and snatched the little remaining Medicinal Porridge from Ning Yechen's hand, her face slightly flushed as she scooped up a spoonful and brought it to his lips...

"I, Yeye and I are full. You can eat the rest..."

As the former female emperor of the Immortal Realm, she was actually taking the initiative to feed a mortal...

If she said it out loud, perhaps no one would believe it...

But this was also to repay his kindness...

Besides, he could be considered her husband now, so it should also count as something within reason...

Ning Yechen was slightly surprised. He had not expected Luo Ruying to take the initiative to feed him.

After a faint smile, he gladly opened his mouth and accepted...

This feeling of being fed by someone was not his first time. In the past, his subordinates had done it for him too, but this was a completely different feeling...

This was far more interesting than when he had been the Demon Lord...!
