Vol. 1 - Ch. 8 - Much More Interesting Than Being the Demon Lord

Ning Yechen refused to back down, so Luo Ruying could only shyly openher mouth and eat the medicinal porridge.

She was already 400 years old, but she was being fed like a child.

And the other party was even a mortal. If word got out, she would never

be able to hold her head high again.

Luo Ruying blushed while eating the medicinal porridge. Her eyes

suddenly lit up.

The medicinal porridge melted in her mouth, and the rich aroma of

medicinal herbs and ingredients spread throughout her mouth. She could

sense a warm sensation flowing through her body, gently nourishing her

meridians.

This medicinal porridge was no ordinary porridge!

Other than containing heavenly herbs, she could also taste the soft

flesh of a well-prepared silver-feathered fish!

She had eaten it every now and then in the Heavenly Realm, so she

recognized it right away!

Silver-feathered fish was able to treat physical injuries, and it could

also nourish the meridians and replenish spiritual energy.

Even in the Heavenly Realm, silver-feathered fish were not easy to

obtain!

Now, she was actually eating medicinal porridge made with

silver-feathered fish in the Mortal Realm!

It also tasted particularly delicious.

Luo Ruying's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "D-did you make

this porridge?"

"Uh-huh. Like it?" Ning Yechen asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Uh-huh," Luo Ruying answered subconsciously. Then she shook her head.

Now was not the time to discuss whether it tasted good.

The question was why silver-feathered fish could be found in the Mortal

Realm!

"Where did you get this fish you used?"

"Huh? There's a lake at the back of the mountain not far from here. I

caught the fish there."

"Caught it in a lake?" Luo Ruying looked at Ning Yechen in disbelief.

Silver-feathered fish could only survive under very special conditions.

They needed spirit water containing abundant spiritual energy.

Otherwise, they could die and rot at any time!

How could they grow in a lake in the Mortal Realm? Luo Ruying

suspected that he was lying.

First, it was the heavenly herbs. Now, it was silver-feathered fish. It

made absolutely no sense for such rare items to be readily available in

some forest.

"I kid you not. I really caught it in the lake. If you don't believe me,

I can bring you there later," Ning Yechen explained when he noticed Luo

Ruying's scrutinizing gaze.

He was not lying. He had indeed plucked the heavenly plants and herbs

from the mountain. It was just that he had planted them there himself a

century ago.

As for the silver-feathered fish, it was from the lake, but he had

placed many there and reared them himself.

"Okay then."

Seeing that Ning Yechen did not seem to be lying, Luo Ruying did not

continue asking.

Even though everything seemed very suspicious, she decided to trust him.

After all, he was a mere mortal. It was impossible for him to obtain

these heavenly plants and herbs and the silver-feathered fish.

Later, she would check the place personally.

Seeing that Luo Ruying stopped asking, Ning Yechen scooped up more

medicinal porridge and held the spoon to her mouth. "Dear, ahhh~"

Luo Ruying opened her mouth to eat and slowly tossed the thought to the

back of her mind.

As he fed her intimately, someone woke up. But the two of them didn't

notice the little girl staring at their actions with her big, round

eyes.

When Luo Ruying noticed Luo Hongye was up, she happened to be eating

another mouthful. Her face blushed crimson, and she choked out of panic

and coughed a few times.

Their daughter saw someone feeding her. It was so embarrassing!

"Cough cough... Yeye, good morning." Luo Ruying composed herself and

reached her hands out to hold Luo Hongye. But the blush on her face did

not fade for a long time.

Luo Hongye glanced at Ning Yechen, raised her head, and smiled. "Daddy

is feeding Mommy, just like how Mommy feeds me~"

Luo Ruying instantly felt embarrassed. She glared at Ning Yechen.

It was his fault. She wanted to eat breakfast on her own, but he

insisted on feeding her.

Now, their daughter saw everything.

Luo Ruying looked beautiful making this expression. Ning Yechen could

not help taking a second look at her.

He did not expect his wife to look so adorable glaring at him in sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

annoyance.

He never knew how cute women could be when they were annoyed.

"Daddy, I want you to feed me too."

Luo Hongye didn't detect anything amiss with her parents' interaction.

Instead, she was very happy. She opened her mouth and craned her neck,

wanting to be fed as well.

Ning Yechen gently rubbed Luo Hongye's little head and scooped some

medicinal porridge into her mouth.

This medicinal porridge made of special ingredients was also perfect for

a growing body like his daughter's.

Luo Hongye narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips in satisfaction while

sitting and swaying Luo Ruying's arms.

She said in her child-like voice, "Yummy~ Daddy cooks better than

Mommy. More please~"

Luo Ruying instantly looked awkward. She did not realize that her

cooking was bad.

As an Empress of the Heavenly Realm, it was normal for her not to know

how to cook!

However, Luo Ruying could not help feeling defeated when she heard that

she could not compare to someone, even if it was just cooking, and a

mortal no less.

"If you like it, then eat more!"

Hearing that his daughter liked the food, Ning Yechen felt pleased. He

fed more medicinal porridge into Luo Hongye's mouth.

For some reason, he felt a great sense of satisfaction.

It felt ten thousand times more satisfying than taking out a Heavenly

Emperor!

Hiding here for over 100 years, he had cooked daily and honed his

culinary skills! Now, he could put his skills to good use!

He had picked up cooking out of interest, and it was serving him well

now. It was a pleasant surprise.

When Ning Yechen saw the peeved look on Luo Ruying's face, he felt

tickled. He scooped another spoonful of medicinal porridge and held it

to her mouth. "Dear, your turn~"

Luo Ruying was speechless.

It felt as though he was feeding her like a child. The huffy look on Luo

Ruying's face deepened.

But seeing Luo Hongye look at her expectantly with her head raised, she

quietly ate the medicinal porridge in the spoon.

She had to admit that he was a little better at cooking than her.

Seeing Ning Yechen feeding them but not eating himself, Luo Ruying

asked, "A-aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry. You girls go ahead." Ning Yechen smiled.

He enjoyed the process of feeding them. As the Demon Lord, he did not

need sustenance at all.

When he occasionally ate, it was purely to satisfy his taste buds.

Luo Ruying did not know that Ning Yechen was the infamous Demon Lord and

simply treated him as a mortal.

She heard that food in the Mortal Realm was a precious commodity,

especially for people living on mountains who lacked resources.

Sometimes, they even had to rely on bark as sustenance.

She glanced at the kitchen and did not see any food supplies. She

thought Ning Yechen was letting her and their daughter have the food and

felt very moved.

She took the last of the remaining medicinal porridge from his hand and

shyly fed him some. "Y-Yeye and I are full. You can eat the rest..."

As a former Empress of the Heavenly Realm, she was surprisingly taking

the initiative to feed a mortal.

If people heard, no one would believe it.

She was just doing it out of gratitude for his kindness.

Moreover, he was now considered her husband, so her actions were

reasonable.

Ning Yechen was a little astonished. He did not expect Luo Ruying to

offer to feed him.

He smiled and opened his mouth to accept her feeding.

It was not that no one had fed him before. Once, his subordinates had

done it. But this feeling was completely different.

This felt much more interesting than being the Demon Lord!
