Chapter 679: Chapter 677: You Have to Admire These Cooking Skills!
Sally returned to the Demon Realm.
After drinking a bowl of soup cooked by Welly to maintain her strength during labor, she entered the delivery room.
But after a short while, her stomach stopped hurting again.
[Xiaomei, what’s going on?]
[It was a false labor just now. She doesn’t like the taste of fish, so she turned over. Now after having the soup, she likes the taste again and is lying down to continue sleeping.]
[…This child! Unbelievable!] What kind of good child behaves like this! Except for their father’s cooking, she won’t eat anyone else’s.
“I have to go back to the Holy Palace,” Sally said, getting up from the birthing bed.
Welly was standing by her side, ready to deliver the baby. Seeing her get out of bed so agilely, he hastily asked, “What’s wrong with Yanyan?”
“Your daughter must be talented if she can even fool Xiaomei,”
What a cunning child! Xiaomei’s predictions have been wrong several times. Even without the Pregnancy Elixir, she used to be able to give a rough estimate, but this time, after using the Pregnancy Elixir, it became even less reliable.
So crafty already in the womb.
Welly followed Sally back to the Holy Palace to wait for the birth.
Upon learning the reason, Frans patted Welly on the shoulder, “This child is fated to be connected with my Western Immortal Realm!”
“…She has to be born in the Demon Realm, I’m counting on her to inherit the throne,” Welly replied.
That hit Frans right in the feels—his four children had all ascended, not one had stayed!
Welly considered asking Sally, “Xiao Tiantian’s dad is still in the Demon Realm, should I ask him to cook for you?”
“Ah? He hasn’t returned to the Divine Realm yet? You Hao is back already.”
“No, it’s not easy to come down here; he probably doesn’t want to go back yet.”
“…Let’s stay in the Holy Palace for a few more days then.”
After another ten days or so, Frans’ cooking did not have the effect of inducing labor.
And all Xiaomei could tell Sally was—[More than 108 days past the due date! Ready to give birth at any time!]
Sally went back to the Demon Realm, deciding to seek out Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan’s massive Beast Body, accompanied by Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, was out for a walk in the Demon Beast Forest of the Demon Realm—actually, they were bitterly cultivating!
“Dad, I’m hungry,” Little Shisi said to Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan turned to look at him, his voice deep and rumbling, “Don’t you have food in your Storage Bag?”
Little Shisi: “It’s gone… I want to eat the food cooked by Uncle Zulu.”
Little Shiwu tossed him a pack of jerky, “This will stave off the hunger.”
Little Shisi chewed on the jerky, increasingly feeling that his little brother was smart, “It’s more fun on Xiao Tiantian’s side.”
“Yeah, Xiaoqi, Little Fengning, Little Dot, Manman, Xiaohao, Xuanxuan… they’re so lively, I want to go back too,” Little Shiwu said, his ears drooping, with no interest in the Demon Realm at all.
Qing Linghuan said, “You can’t learn from Xiao Tian’s love of ease and disdain for work, feasting all day long, leading a life of luxury. That’s not good for cultivation.”
Little Shisi and Little Shiwu exchanged glances—they just loved the things that were bad for cultivation!
A Sound Transmission Talisman flew towards them.
Qing Linghuan’s eyes lit up, “It’s Yanyan.”
—[Come to the Asura King Palace.]
“Let’s go, we’re going to see your mom,” Qing Linghuan said, popping them both into his mouth and carrying them on his back as he rushed towards the direction of the Asura King Palace.
Little Shiwu asked, “Dad, is mom having the baby now? Are we going to celebrate the baby’s full moon?”
“Definitely,” Qing Linghuan replied.
Little Shisi spat out the jerky in his mouth, “There will be delicious food.”
When Qing Linghuan arrived at the Asura King Palace and found out why he had been called, he fell silent for a long while.
Little Shisi, thinking there would be a full-moon feast, heard that they wanted his dad to cook. He rummaged through his Storage Bag again, took out the jerky Little Shiwu had given him, and started to chew—mmm! Delicious!!
Little Shiwu took an egg cabin out of his Little Storage Bag and decided to take a short nap, planning to wake up when his mom had the baby sister.
“So, are you sure Yanyan wants to eat what I cook?” Qing Linghuan scratched his ear, unsure.
Sally, remembering the time he blew up the kitchen, clenched her teeth, “Yes! She must be born!”
Qing Linghuan looked at Sally’s pregnant belly and slapped his thigh, “Alright then, I’ll show off my skills.”
Little Shiwu opened one eye inside the egg cabin, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Little Shisi, without an egg cabin to descend to the Lower Realm, enviously patted the cabin door, “Sis, can I lie down inside for a while, can I?”
The cabin door opened, and Little Shiwu made some space for him.
“Mom isn’t afraid of poisoning the little sister to death. She actually dares eat the food dad cooks,” Little Shisi said to Little Shiwu.
Little Shiwu yawned, “Now I understand why Dad always makes us go to sleep.”
Little Shisi had a sudden realization, “Dad… he’s truly caring, sparing us his noble paws!”
…
Su’s Tavern.
Little Fengning finished washing the dishes and looked outside expectantly.
Frost asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Why hasn’t my dad come to cook? Could it be that Mom has given birth to my little sister?” Little Fengning replied.
“If she had, Uncle Wen would surely have shared the good news,” Frost said while washing a Spirit Fruit for Little Fengning, “Why don’t you send a Sound Transmission Talisman to ask?”
Little Fengning bit into the Spirit Fruit, “Okay.”
——[Mom, has my little sister been born?]
Yohanes came in with a pile of dishes and put them into the sink, seeing the Sound Transmission Talisman fly away, she asked, “Who are you sending that to?”
“I’m asking Mom if my little sister has been born yet,” Little Fengning replied.
Yohanes replied, “Judging by the timing, she should have been born by now.”
Xuanxuan also came to the kitchen and took out a heap of ingredients from the Little Storage Bag, “What are you all talking about?”
Yohanes said, “Sis, how long did Mom carry us?”
Xuanxuan replied, “Just over a month. Why, has the little sister not been born yet?”
Yohanes nodded, “It seems she hasn’t been born yet.”
Xuanxuan pondered for a moment, “What if she’s like Xiaoba, too lazy to come out?”
Ming Linyuan, accompanied by Little Shiyi, came to eat at the tavern.
Seeing all the kids in the kitchen, he came over to check on them, “Why has Zulu put you to work? Is he short-handed? I can find a few people for him.”
“No, it’s something we wanted to do,” Xuanxuan replied. “Dad is cleaning ingredients in the backyard.”
“Alright, I’ll go have a look,” Ming Linyuan said as he went to find Zulu in the backyard.
Little Fengning finished the fruit in his hand, “I’d better go back and check.”
Little Shiyi said to Little Fengning, “I’ll go with you, and take a look at the Demon Beasts I’ve been raising.”
Little Fengning nodded, “Alright.”
The two little fellows headed towards the Demon Realm.
…
Asura King Palace.
Sally looked uncertainly at the porridge in front of her, which was a colorful mixture of red, green, black, and white.
“What’s this red stuff?” she asked Qing Linghuan.
“It’s the meat from Divine Red Kirin Chicken, one is worth a thousand Superior Divine Crystals.”
“Raw?”
“Cooked. This meat stays red no matter how long you cook it, and it remains tender,” Qing Linghuan assured.
“Oh, and what’s this green thing?”
“The green is Millennium Green Lotus Leaf, also Divine-grade, good for the qi and clearing the vision.”
“And this white?”
“The white is rice, grown by you and the children on Tianhu Mountain.”
“Then this black stuff?”
“The black… well, I got a bit distracted while cooking, the flame was too high, and it got a little burnt on the bottom. But I’ve tasted it, and it’s edible, doesn’t hurt the stomach after eating.”
Welly was on edge, wanting to advise Sally not to eat, but inviting Qing Linghuan to cook had been his idea…
“I’m aiming for a stomachache!” Sally picked up the bowl and guzzled the porridge down without even chewing!
The effect was immediate!
Her stomach began to ache!
Sally had to acknowledge Qing Linghuan’s cooking skills, “Yours works better than an Oxytocin Pill! Make some more!”
Welly rushed to take Sally to the birthing room, “Yanyan, how do you feel? Should I make you something?”
“No, no, no! Definitely not, your daughter is about to be born.” Even Qing Linghuan’s ‘poisonous’ family secret recipe had been used; it was sure to work.
Seeing the miraculous effect of his cooking, Qing Linghuan patted the egg cabin doors of the two children, “Want to try it?”
The siblings, who were aware of the information from the outside world, decided to continue feigning sleep…
