"Do you think of your parents' birthdays first every year? Can you act like Yan'er in front of your mother and father? Can you stay by your mother's side when she is sick like Yan'er? Are you as considerate as Yan'er?"
Nangong Ruichen's question left Nangong Jingqi dumbfounded. "Brother, what you've said makes me feel ashamed. I really hadn't thought of these things."
Nangong Jingqi chuckled and scratched his head.
"Yan'er is always more attentive to taking care of and accompanying her parents than we are, and what we need to do is not let our parents worry."
"Oh! So what kind of wife do you want to marry, brother? What Mother said makes a lot of sense!" Nangong Jingqi thought to himself that he wanted to marry a kind and considerate wife, and he wanted to overturn his mother's opinion.
"What kind of woman to marry? That depends on whether you can meet a woman who is suitable for you and also pleases your mother..."
Nangong Ruichen lifted his foot and strode away.
"Where in the world is there such a perfect thing as marrying someone who suits you and pleases your mother?" Nangong Jingqi looked conflicted. He thought, "You couldn't find a wife like that even with a lantern!" "Hey, big brother, wait for me...!"
Nangong Ruichen ignored him, so Nangong Jingqi had no choice but to chase after him.
It wasn't until dark that Nangong Ziyan and Beiming Haotian returned to Hua Nongying's residence.
Looking at the two large baskets of peach blossoms, Nangong Ziyan smiled with satisfaction. Having a high level of cultivation makes all the difference; picking peach blossoms was just a blink of an eye, truly achieving twice the result with half the effort!
"Yan'er, are you sure there are enough peach blossoms?" Bei Ming Haotian looked at the peach blossoms in the bamboo basket and couldn't help but ask again.
"Haotian, that's enough. More won't help."
"Miss Nangong, Demon Lord, this old servant has brought you your dinner."
A respectful voice came from outside the door.
It must be said that Uncle Zhong has had a tough time. This is the fifth time he has come to Fenghai Residence tonight. He comes to check every now and then, but Nangong Ziyan and the others are never there. This is the fifth time he has finally run into them. In addition, after learning that Nangong Ziyan is the savior of their young master and that there is a demon lord inside, he dares not be negligent.
"Uncle Zhong, come in!" Nangong Ziyan quickly put the peach blossom into her spatial ring.
Uncle Zhong soon led ten people in, each carrying a very exquisite dish, which they placed one by one on the round table in the main hall.
Bei Ming Haotian stood to the side, showing no surprise. He and Haoze often ate like this in the Netherworld Palace and didn't find anything special about it.
"Wow! Uncle Zhong, is all this seafood from Lingxian Island?" Nangong Ziyan exclaimed in admiration. Looking at the large plate of bright red, crispy shrimp, Nangong Ziyan was practically drooling with envy.
“Yes, Miss Nangong, Lingxian Island doesn’t have anything special to offer you two. It’s all local ingredients. I hope you’ll understand,” Uncle Zhong said humbly and respectfully.
"Uncle Zhong, you're too kind. These are already delicacies for Yan'er. Uncle Zhong, look at these unique seafood dishes. For example, these shrimp are not available anywhere else."
"If you two find it good, then it is truly an honor for this old servant. I will not disturb your dinner any longer; this old servant will take his leave."
Uncle Zhong smiled and led his group away.
"Haotian, eat up! It looks delicious!" Nangong Ziyan quickly sat down on the stool, picked up her chopsticks and started eating the shrimp without any restraint.
Bei Ming Haotian looked at her in surprise. Logically speaking, life in the South China Sea Glazed Palace shouldn't be too bad, right? Why did Yan'er seem to have never seen so many things before?
Little did he know that Nan Hai Liuli was never extravagant, and the food served was always just enough for her family of five to finish. Her family preferred simple meals, except for Nangong Ziyan, who liked everything from sour and sweet to bitter and spicy.
Wow! These shrimp are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they're really delicious.
Nangong Ziyan praised it endlessly.
"Eat more if you like it." Bei Ming Haotian didn't eat much, but he put a plate of food in front of her. He had gotten used to her cooking lately, and these dishes tasted bland to him. It seemed that she had even spoiled his stomach.
"Haotian, you should eat more so you'll have the energy to work later!"
"Mm!" Bei Ming Haotian nodded. He preferred watching her eat to eating himself. She seemed to be easily satisfied; even the smallest things could make her happy.
After dinner, Nangong Ziyan took Beiming Haotian into her spatial ring.
This was the first time Bei Ming Haotian had entered her spatial ring.
He walked around inside. Her spatial ring wasn't as big as his, and most of the space inside was used to grow medicinal herbs and fruit trees.
Nangong Ziyan led Beiming Haotian to a cellar. As soon as they opened the door, a strong aroma of wine wafted out.
"Good wine needs no bush, Yan'er, so you really can brew wine?" Bei Ming Haotian took a deep breath of the aroma of the wine, eager to take a sip.
"Haotian, what do you mean you really know how to brew wine? Yan'er already knows how to brew wine, okay?" Nangong Ziyan was a little unhappy for a moment. Did he really doubt her abilities? Apart from her poor cultivation, she was excellent in other areas, especially in cooking.
"What, are you angry?" Bei Ming Haotian grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. His wicked smile was both damnably tender and extremely seductive.
"Mm!" Nangong Ziyan nodded. It didn't matter if she couldn't get other people's approval, but she wanted his approval. That's how women are; they're naturally calculating.
