Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 517 Lan Qi's Happy Feeding
Outside the window, the natural light on the coast gradually grew brighter, illuminating the spotless bedroom after Hyperion drew back the curtains.
At this moment, the bedroom was filled with rising steam and the aroma of cooked food.
Lanchi's appetizer for Talia was steamed lobster with herb butter. The fresh lobster was halved, the meat tender, drizzled with herb-infused butter, and garnished with thinly sliced lemons and chopped coriander.
The dish was finished in less than a minute.
Immediately afterward, Lanchi brought out the main course: slow-cooked steak with wild mushroom sauce, cut it into small pieces for her, and fed it to her mouth. The carefully selected beef shank heart meat was tender and juicy after slow cooking, lightly grilled on the surface, covered with rich black truffle and red wine sauce, and paired with sliced South Wantina-style mushrooms for a more delicious taste.
Lanchi fed her, wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin from time to time. When she was about to feel thirsty, Lanchi would ask her in advance if she wanted a drink.
At first, she sat upright, but gradually Talia unconsciously relaxed and leaned against the headboard, emptying her mind, only constantly opening her mouth and chewing, cooperating with Lanchi.
Hyperion didn't know what to say.
It should have been a pretty heartwarming scene.
But Hyperion felt that the wife-like toxicity in Lanchi was surging again. He seemed very satisfied with completely turning Tata into a useless person who could only open her mouth.
Hyperion heard the Great Poet say that Lanchi also liked to go to the balcony on the first floor every morning to feed his animal friends breakfast in the dormitory.
Now the natural smile on the corner of Lanchi's mouth was a bit like feeding animals.
Lanchi would feel very happy watching Talia eat before, but now that he was feeding her personally, he seemed even more satisfied.
Wasn't this also a strange two-way street?
This went on for a long time.
Talia opened her mouth but found that the food wasn't coming. She suddenly came back to her senses.
She turned her head and saw that there was no more food on the small dining cart.
"Tata, wait a moment, I'll go tell the chef to make another cart."
Lanchi seemed to understand what Tata meant, quickly stood up, and pushed the small dining cart with only empty plates away.
"Get back here!"
Talia immediately realized what this guy was thinking.
What girl eats by the "cartload"!
"Okay."
Lanchi stopped, released the small dining cart, and then sat back obediently.
"Want to eat fruit?"
He asked after a moment of silence.
"..."
Talia couldn't analyze whether he was really caring about her at the moment, or whether he had turned some idea into a habit.
She admitted that she had been living a comfortable life every day since coming to the human kingdom, but now that it had been revealed that she was actually a demon princess, indulging in food like this made her feel a little ashamed.
This guy Lanchi was really good to her sometimes, but at the same time, he seemed to harbor some damn bad intentions!
"I'll cut some fruit later, let's eat it slowly together, we're both very free today anyway."
Hyperion added.
When the three of them were together before, Talia could still teach them magic and card making, and an afternoon would pass in the blink of an eye. Now it was obviously impossible to let Talia work, which directly led to the three of them having nothing else special to do to pass the time.
Talia nodded and didn't resist anything anymore.
"By the way, what are we going to do in the next few days?"
Hyperion asked them when he saw that Lanchi and Talia were no longer talking.
She and Lanchi were already a bit late returning from the Northern Continent, and they came to South Wantina Territory overnight as soon as they returned to Ikrith. The semester at school was almost over, and now it felt like it was not an option to go back, nor was it an option not to go back...
It was like if you were only ten minutes late, you would still be willing to rush to school, but when you were a few hours late, it made no difference whether you went to school today or not.
"Let's have a good rest for a few days, and then we'll set off back to Ikrith."
Lanchi thought for a moment and said.
Bibo Coast might have to wait until the next time they returned to South Wantina Territory, because Bibo Coast led directly to the Nox Mountains, and almost half of it had entered a state of control.
High Priest Loreon was also planning to stay for about another week to stabilize the people's hearts in South Wantina Territory before returning.
Even if Lanchi and Hyperion went back early, Loreon wasn't there, and there was nowhere to submit the project report, or rather, there was no final reviewer to submit it to.
Lanchi had also suggested to his old man this morning that he move to Ikrith for a period of time.
In the days to come, the royal capital with the most core city defense and High Priest Loreon would be much safer than the South Wantina border territory adjacent to the Cretian Empire.
Now that the Wilford family's old mansion had been destroyed and they had just experienced such an attack, Noe quickly agreed.
"Is there no problem with Cat Boss Restaurant?"
Talia suddenly asked.
Originally, she had told Asina that she would only be away for about a week.
Now she was gone for two weeks, and Asina was likely to be too busy.
"No problem, I brought back three excellent restaurant employees for Cat Boss from the Northern Continent, all of whom are talented. Just relax and take a vacation."
Lanchi looked at Talia gently, as if to tell her that he had arranged everything.
"...What kind of talents can you find in the Northern Continent?"
Talia raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
Although it was good news that Cat Boss Restaurant would have stable employees to switch shifts with her in the future.
But she wasn't used to getting along with strangers. If three new employees suddenly came to the store and didn't get along with her, it might be quite awkward.
In particular, most people from the Protoss Empire would be hostile to demons.
"They're really quite amazing. I guarantee you'll like them."
Lanchi crossed his arms with a smug look and nodded.
Seven Great Demons, he had already found three besides the one he got at the beginning.
There were still the last three left, and a loving demon family would be complete.
"Hehe, you have a good sense of yourself. Do you really think you know me well?"
Talia closed her eyes and ignored Lanchi.
"Of course, no one knows Talia better than I do."
Lanchi answered confidently,
"I can even guess what you want to eat tonight."
He was ready to start feeding Talia from six o'clock tonight and continue until eight o'clock.
"You!"
Talia glared at him.
She was sure that Lanchi's mind had become abnormally active again!
"Sigh."
Listening to the two of them bickering daily, Hyperion shook his head helplessly.
Fortunately, this level wasn't enough to kill Lanchi, so Hyperion didn't have anything to worry about.
Let those three old demon friends be a surprise for Talia when she returns home after recovering from her serious illness. She didn't plan to reveal it in advance here and ruin the atmosphere.
In Hyperion's memory, Antanas and the other two rarely talked to him about Talia, but Hyperion thought that Talia should have been just as cute in the demon world as she was now.
It would definitely be a touching reunion.
