Chapter 138: Chapter 138
Chapter 138 - The Demon Sovereign's Heinous Crimes!
After breakfast was ready, Meizhi and the others arrived one after another, and everyone sat around the dining table together.
Meizhi and the others had long since gotten used to eating with Long Yue, so the addition of one more person didn't feel like a big deal.
But for An Yao, who was eating at the same table with members of the Demon Race for the first time, everything felt completely out of place.
Her Majesty was making breakfast for members of the Demon Race, and the demons were cordially calling her 'Madam'. No matter how she thought about it, this was something that should have been impossible, yet it was happening right before her eyes.
If this were on the Immortal-Demon Continent, probably not a single person would believe it… Chapters fırst released on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
“An Yao, eat up. Don't be polite. This Empress's cooking skills have improved a lot recently!”
Seeing An Yao spacing out while holding her bowl, Long Yue picked up a meat patty with her chopsticks, placed it in her bowl, and smiled, gesturing for her not to be polite. Her face was full of confidence in her own cooking.
“Your Majesty the Empress, how can you serve food to this subordinate? I can get it myself.”
Seeing the meat patty suddenly appear in her bowl, An Yao was both moved and filled with a flustered sense of being overwhelmed by the honor.
She was just Her Majesty's personal handmaiden. With their vast difference in status, just being able to eat at the same table with her was already an unprecedented blessing.
How could she possibly be worthy of having the Empress personally serve her food.
“It's fine. There's no need for so many rules here. Just treat it like your own home.”
Long Yue waved her hand dismissively, thinking nothing of it.
An Yao was incredibly moved. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and, full of gratitude, took a bite of the meat patty.
Food personally cooked by Her Majesty, and personally served by her... in the entire Immortal Realm, she was probably the only one to ever receive such a special honor.
I absolutely must not waste a single bite!
The moment the meat patty entered her mouth and she took a bite, the juices and meaty aroma instantly exploded on her taste buds. An Yao's eyes lit up.
To be honest, she had already decided in her heart that no matter what the meat patty tasted like, she would eat every last bite so as not to fail Her Majesty's kindness.
But the taste completely exceeded her expectations.
She remembered that Her Majesty, just like her, had never touched the art of cooking in the Immortal Realm. She never thought she could now make such delicious food!
Truly, as expected of Her Majesty the Empress!
“If it's good, then eat more. There's still plenty.”
Hearing An Yao's praise, Long Yue proudly lifted her nose, feeling a sense of satisfaction. She got up and went back to the kitchen to continue preparing food.
Lin Fan picked up his bowl and took a sip of congee, then picked up his chopsticks to get a meat patty.
Seeing this, An Yao's eyes hardened. She quickly snatched away the meat patty he was about to pick up and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Nom nom, delicious~!”
An Yao chewed the meat patty while giving Lin Fan a triumphant, provocative look.
Food made by Her Majesty—she would absolutely not let the Demon Sovereign have a single taste!
Lin Fan didn't want to argue with her and reached for another meat patty.
But before he could pick it up, An Yao once again snatched it away first and stuffed it into her mouth.
From then on, no matter what he reached for, she would snatch it away first.
Lin Fan was speechless at An Yao's disruptive behavior.
Why is she acting like a child, being so protective of her food…
Seeing An Yao repeatedly stop Lin Fan from getting food, Meizhi frowned.
Just as An Yao was triumphantly picking up another meat patty, Meizhi's chopsticks shot out and clamped down on it as well.
The two looked up, their eyes meeting. Sparks seemed to fly between their gazes as they both applied force with their chopsticks, neither willing to yield.
Under their pulling, the meat patty was finally split in two, each of them getting half.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, please, eat~”
Meizhi placed the half he had won on a plate and presented it to Lin Fan with both hands.
An Yao snorted coldly and indignantly stuffed her half of the meat patty into her mouth.
“Meizhi, you eat it. There's still plenty on the table.”
Lin Fan smiled slightly and declined the meat patty Meizhi offered.
I'd like to see if she can really eat all the food.
Soon, the entire table of food was swept clean by An Yao alone. Her stomach was already bulging.
Although she was already so stuffed she felt like she would explode, seeing that the Demon Sovereign hadn't gotten a single bite made her feel incredibly triumphant.
“Hmm? You ate it all already.”
Long Yue walked back to the table and was surprised to see the clean plates.
She had only been gone for a moment, and the whole table of food was gone.
Was my cooking really that good today…
“Apologies, Your Majesty. Your cooking was just too good, this subordinate couldn't hold back and ate it all.”
On the surface, An Yao seemed deeply apologetic, but not a hint of apology could be heard in her tone; on the contrary, it was full of triumph.
“It's fine, there's more in the kitchen.”
Long Yue gave a charming smile and turned to bring out another large pot of fried sausages and meat patties from the kitchen.
“There's still this much?!”
Seeing another pot on the table, An Yao was shocked. She looked down at her own round, bulging stomach, a troubled look on her face.
She had thought the food on the table was all there was; she never expected Her Majesty to have another whole pot waiting in the kitchen!
How could she possibly eat any more…
Lin Fan asked with a teasing, provocative smile as he looked at An Yao.
An Yao, who had been about to give up, frowned upon hearing his words, her expression turning resolute:
With that, she once again picked up a meat patty and began to chew with large bites.
The meat patty, which had originally been juicy and fragrant, now tasted like chewing wax in her mouth, becoming increasingly difficult to swallow.
But in order not to let the Demon Sovereign get his way, she still gritted her teeth and swallowed it bite by bite.
However, she had overestimated her own capacity. After just a few more meat patties, she was already slumped over the table like a dead pig…
Lin Fan smiled slightly and once again reached for a meat patty with his chopsticks.
This time, the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. She could only watch helplessly as he took the patty.
If she ate even one more bite, her stomach really would explode…
“An Yao, are you not eating anymore?”
Seeing An Yao lying motionless on the table, Long Yue asked with confusion.
An Yao shook her head frantically in terror.
“No more, Your Majesty! This subordinate is full…”
“Is that so? Alright then, This Empress will take care of the rest!”
Hearing this, Long Yue rolled up her sleeves, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and entered serious eating mode.
Her eating speed wasn't fast, but her chopsticks never stopped moving for a moment. She took large bites of meat, finishing a patty in two or three mouthfuls. The sausages and patties in the pot began to diminish at a visible rate.
An Yao stared blankly as she ate one bowl after another, only snapping out of her astonishment when the entire pot of food was finished.
That huge pot of sausages and meat patties, plus the remaining half pot of plain congee, was enough to feed four or five people, yet Her Majesty finished it all by herself?!
On the Immortal-Demon Continent, Her Majesty would always just take a small taste at banquets, having a proper bird-like appetite. But now she had eaten so much in one go. What did this mean?
That hateful Demon Sovereign must not be feeding Her Majesty enough on a daily basis!
Thinking of this, An Yao looked up at Lin Fan, the hostility in her eyes growing even stronger.
Not only does he enslave Her Majesty to cook for him, but he also doesn't let her eat her fill! The Demon Sovereign is guilty of the most heinous crimes!
