Ye Jiuli was busy with the affairs of the demon world, and Su Jiaojiao's belly was getting bigger day by day.
It takes twelve months for a demon woman to be pregnant, which is two months longer than that of a mortal woman.
But pregnancy is always hard, and she has been liking to eat some weird things lately.
For example, raw chickens, rabbits, snakes, fish, etc., which made Ye Jiuli very reluctant every time.
Su Jiaojiao tried her best to restrain her most primitive impulses. She couldn't eat anything raw!
And killing is not allowed in Baoxiang Temple!
"Then let's eat the dead ones. Your Majesty, please help me deal with these things. It would be even better if you can cook them."
Su Jiaojiao began to order Ye Jiuli around.
She now felt limp all over and didn't want to move a finger.
Ye Jiuli wanted to lose his temper several times, but when he thought that she was carrying his child in her belly, he forced himself to suppress his anger.
After the heart-eating case was solved, the streets returned to their former bustle, with people coming out to have fun even at night.
Ye Jiuli carried this pile of wild goods into a restaurant, and after explaining his purpose, he was given a cold look by the waiter.
"Look, this is a restaurant, a place for eating, not your kitchen!" He crossed his arms arrogantly and looked at him with his chin raised.
Ye Jiuli didn't say anything, but just spread his hands towards him, with several gems of extremely fine quality lying in his palms.
The waiter was about to say he was starving, but after seeing all this he couldn't utter a single word.
That is a gem worth a thousand gold!
He had only seen it on those noble people!
"Sir, please wait a moment." The waiter immediately smiled, clasped his hands together and rubbed them together, his back was slightly hunched, and he looked very humble.
After a while, the restaurant owner came over, invited everyone to a private room, and then took the wild goods to the kitchen for processing according to his preferences.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I just want to ask if you can leave these rabbit fur and snake skin to me." The rabbit was obviously top-grade stuff. Its fur was completely gray. If it was tanned and made into a hat or scarf, it would be great.
"Sure. Braise the rabbit meat with some spicy sauce, and make the snake into snake soup. My wife likes it." Ye Jiuli rarely said a few more words.
When the restaurant owner heard this, he happily accompanied him to drink a few glasses of wine.
This is Lihuabai, which costs one tael of silver per catty. It is considered a good wine.
But when Ye Jiuli drank it, it didn't feel like that.
It's bitter, astringent and sour, and is far inferior to the wine from the demon world.
He only drank one glass and stopped drinking, but the restaurant owner got himself drunk.
Today is such a good day.
Ye Jiuli took the lunch box and hurried back, then disappeared in a flash in a deserted place.
Su Jiaojiao had been waiting for a long time and was starving. When Ye Jiuli came back, her appetite was immediately aroused.
Braised rabbit meat, snake soup, and even a braised crucian carp.
They had clearly only brought rabbits and snakes, but now there was an extra dish. Su Jiaojiao was a little puzzled.
"This is a gift from the store, please eat it." Ye Jiuli took out the food quickly and put the chopsticks in Su Jiaojiao's hand.
He looks like a good and virtuous husband.
Su Jiaojiao enjoyed his service with peace of mind.
So these days, Ye Jiuli caught a lot of wild animals such as rabbits, pheasants, snakes, sika deer, wild ducks, etc. and gave them to the restaurant owner to cook.
The restaurant owner also received his salary and looked forward to his coming every day.
This is his God of Wealth!
Finally one day, Su Jiaojiao got bored of staying in Baoxiang Temple, so she sneaked down with Ye Jiuli to take a stroll. Then the restaurant owner saw his God of Wealth and God of Plague coming together.
Ever since Su Jiaojiao couldn't control herself after drinking and showed nine tails in front of the restaurant owner, he regarded Su Jiaojiao as a plague demon.
Now when he saw Su Jiaojiao, his whole body froze and he almost fainted again.
"Boss! Boss, what's wrong with you?" The waiter didn't know what was going on, so he hurried over to support the boss who had a pale face.
"She, she, she, she!" The boss pointed at Su Jiaojiao with trembling fingers, too scared to speak.
Ye Jiuli had already brought Su Jiaojiao over here.
The two of them standing together looked like a perfect match.
"Boss, we meet again!" Su Jiaojiao smiled playfully at the boss, revealing two sharp canine teeth.
The restaurant owner's heart trembled. He looked at Su Jiaojiao, then at Ye Jiuli, and swallowed.
I hope this fox demon is full and doesn’t eat him as a snack.
The two were carefully invited in to have a meal.
During the meal, Su Jiaojiao also explained to Ye Jiuli why the restaurant owner was so scared when he saw her.
After knowing the whole story, Ye Jiuli was speechless. He didn't expect that as a demon, he would be defeated by wine.
Su Jiaojiao did not cause trouble this time. After eating and drinking, she took Ye Jiuli's arm and left the restaurant.
The two of them started strolling around like an ordinary couple.
Today is the Lantern Festival on earth. The streets have been decorated for a long time. There are many lanterns of various shapes on the stalls, and some riddles are posted for people to guess.
The lights on each stall are on, and from a distance the lights look dim, full of the atmosphere of worldly life.
"Your Majesty, look! That's a fox lantern!" Su Jiaojiao pointed at the fox lantern among a bunch of rabbit lanterns and beauty lanterns and pulled Ye Jiuli's sleeve and shouted excitedly.
"Madam, you have good taste. This fox lantern is a new design this year, symbolizing good luck and prosperity!" the vendor said enthusiastically. "How about this gentleman, guess the riddle? If you guess it right, the fox lantern will be yours."
Su Jiaojiao became interested. "Two o'clock in the sky, what is this word?"
What was the answer to these five short words? Su Jiaojiao was puzzled.
"Close it." Ye Jiuli said softly.
"My dear, you are so smart! This fox lantern is for you!" The vendor untied the rope and handed the lantern to Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao was delighted to get the fox lantern. She lit the wick and the little fox on the screen came to life.
There were auspicious clouds under its limbs and claws, as if it was about to take off.
It has nine tails.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't let it go.
The two of them were in a playful mood and kept guessing until they could no longer hold the lanterns in their hands.
Dongfang Ninghe and Jiang Ruyi came out from the crowded crowd. Jiang Ruyi's belly was slightly bulging, and it was very difficult for her to walk behind Dongfang Ninghe.
If you look more closely, you can see that there are beads of sweat on Jiang Ruyi's forehead, while Dongfang Ninghe is still walking ahead on his own.
"Your Majesty, the matter has been completed." Gu Sheng came up and reported.
"Well, go down." Dongfang Ninghe finally caught a familiar figure in the crowd, and his brows softened instantly.
There was a hint of cuteness in her back. She would look up from time to time and talk and laugh with the man beside her, and the man would also lower his head to listen to her.
What a beautiful and harmonious picture.
