Song Xiwei hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
In her dream, she seemed to have returned with Aoqian to a long time ago, when they were at Fengbo Valley.
It felt so good to pinch Aoqian's face. Song Xiwei called his name over and over again in her dream.
When he woke up, he did not see Aoqian or Wulai.
The strange, familiar feeling she had when she was drunk yesterday seemed to be just something she imagined.
Song Xiwei started to space out again until a familiar fragrance wafted over.
She turned around and saw a fairy maiden carrying a tray. Seeing the familiar food, Song Xiwei's eyes lit up immediately. "Where did this come from?"
"Reporting to the Heavenly Empress, it was sent by the Heavenly Emperor."
"The Heavenly Emperor?"
Song Xi was slightly puzzled; she had never heard of Wu Lai being able to cook before.
Moreover, the scent is so familiar.
Song Xiwei picked up her chopsticks and tasted each one in turn.
This is so delicious! I haven't had this in ages...
This familiar taste, these delicious dishes are exactly what she wants to eat most. Who else but Aoqian could make them?
Could it be that Wu Lai went to the Demon Realm and forced Ao Qian to cook him a meal and bring it back?
After Song Xiwei finished feeding him, she decided to ask Wu Lai how he had done it.
When Song Xiwei met Wulai in the Lingxiao Palace, Wulai had just finished meeting with several celestial officials and explained some matters to them.
Upon seeing Song Xiwei arrive, Wu Lai's eyes finally showed a smile, and his sternness and heaviness faded somewhat.
Song Xiwei noticed his exhaustion. Even with his immortal body, overworking in this position was taking a toll on his health.
"What happened? Do you need my help?" Song Xiwei asked.
Wu Lai shook his head. "I can handle it. What brings you here?"
"I'm fine. Can't I come see you? After all, I'm your queen now." Song Xiwei said casually.
Wu Lai's expression was somewhat strange, as if he wanted to say something but didn't, yet he didn't say anything.
"No, I'll restore you anytime you come. I'm just worried you might find it too boring."
"It's not boring at all. I think it's quite interesting here."
Song Xi looked around, curious about every corner of the Lingxiao Palace, as if it were her first time there.
"You, do you have something to ask me?" Wu Lai finally spoke.
Song Xi raised an eyebrow slightly. "I had a very delicious meal today."
"Really? Then, are you happy?" Wu Lai asked her.
Song Xiwei smiled slightly. "I'm so happy! I haven't had such delicious food in so long. Wulai, how did you manage to get me all this delicious food?"
"No, it wasn't me..." Wu Lai shook his head.
"Not you? But the fairy clearly said that the Heavenly Emperor sent me the food. Wasn't it you? Are you sure?" Song Xi stared at Wu Lai.
Wu Lai's expression turned strange again. He coughed and explained, "Uh, it might be me. I forgot. It should be me."
"It should be you? What do you mean by 'it should be you'?" Song Xiwei found Wu Lai's words really strange.
Are you really that forgetful about things you've done?
And it wasn't long before, was it?
Song Xiwei noticed his hesitant manner and sensed something was wrong.
"You look strange. Did you do something wrong?" Song Xi stared at Wu Lai, trying to figure something out. Wu Lai quickly explained, "I'm probably just too overworked. I also misremembered."
"Alright then. Anyway, there's no other Heavenly Emperor in the Celestial Realm. Who else could it be but you? Who would dare to impersonate the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Cough cough cough!!" Wu Lai suddenly coughed, as if he was trying to hide some kind of panic.
"Why are you coughing all of a sudden? What's wrong?"
"No, no, I'm fine."
"Yes, you still need to take better care of your immortal body. The Heavenly Realm has just begun its reforms, and it won't become what you want overnight. It will take time," Song Xiwei said dejectedly.
