"Hoo~"
After about two and a half hours, the living room was finally spotless. Longyue collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.
The amount of exercise she did today alone was comparable to a hundred years of practice for her in the Immortal Realm…
"Oh, as expected of the Queen, you've cleaned it very well."
Lin Fan came out of the bathroom carrying an empty bucket. Looking at the almost spotless living room and the nearly reflective floor, he couldn't help but let out a sincere sigh of admiration.
"Hmph, of course. Don't you know who this Queen is? Merely cleaning a room is not enough to challenge me."
Longyue sat up straight, proudly raising her fair, white neck.
"You've worked hard."
Lin Fan smiled faintly. After storing the bucket and rag, he picked up the full garbage bag and walked to the door, turning back to look at Longyue.
"I'm a little hungry after cleaning for so long."
"I'm going out to dump the trash and buy something to eat on the way. Is there anything you want?"
"Eat? Hmph~"
Longyue gave a disdainful sneer, her eyes slightly closed as she gently stroked her chest, her face filled with pride.
"This Queen was born from the celestial immortal spirit. Since birth, I have been bathed in the immortal spirit of heaven and earth and soaked in immortal milk for ten thousand years. I have never needed to eat."
"What's more, trivial ordinary food will only affect this Queen's immortal body, leaving unnecessary impurities to remain inside."
At this point, Longyue paused, pointed her index finger at Lin Fan, and showed a triumphant expression as if she had seen through everything.
"Demon Lord, do you think this Queen cannot see through you?"
"You must be trying to use the excuse of eating to make me consume trivial food, so that impurities will slowly accumulate in my body, and thus affect my immortal physique, right!"
"This Queen's Silver-Blue Immortal Pupil has already seen through your wicked scheme! Hahaha!"
Lin Fan: "…"
Lin Fan was utterly speechless.
He felt that this Queen seemed to have a bit of a persecution complex…
"So, do you want anything or not?"
"NO! This Queen will not fall for that trick!"
"I would rather jump from here and starve to death on the street than eat a single bite of food from you, Demon Lord!"
Longyue's expression was stern, her words sounding powerful and full of conviction.
"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you later."
Seeing her so resolute, Lin Fan didn't press further. He opened the door and left the room.
Bang.
As the door closed, Longyue, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, slightly wrinkled her beautiful brows.
Hmph! Just mere food? She hasn't eaten for hundreds of years. What is there to regret!
Before long, the door opened again. Lin Fan returned to the room carrying a large bag of fried chicken and hamburgers in his left hand and a can of cola in his right.
"Oof."
Lin Fan sat down at the table with the steaming hot hamburgers and fried chicken, then enthusiastically opened the bag.
As soon as the bag was opened, the unique aroma of fried chicken immediately filled the entire room.
"It's been so long since I've had fried chicken and hamburgers. The taste really makes me nostalgic."
While saying so, Lin Fan picked up a spicy chicken thigh burger and bit into it. His face was instantly filled with satisfaction and happiness, almost making him tear up with emotion.
"Mmm! This is the taste!!"
After he transmigrated to the Immortal Demon Continent and landed in the Demon Realm, what he ate every day were things like insect bibimbap, sand worm noodles, and freshly squeezed tree bark juice—things that were clearly not for human consumption!
After hundreds of years, tasting fried chicken and hamburgers again after so long, he felt alive again.
This was the food humans should eat!
Seeing Lin Fan's exaggerated manner of eating, Longyue wrinkled her delicate nose, her gaze couldn't help but fixate on the hamburger and fried chicken in his hand.
Is this food really that enjoyable, to the point where it can make the Great Supreme Ruler of the Demon Realm show such an enchanted and moved expression…?
The aroma is actually quite tempting…
Just as Lin Fan picked up a chicken wing and was about to put it in his mouth, his peripheral vision caught Longyue looking at it with intense interest.
"Hmm? Queen, do you want a little too?"
"O-Of course not!"
"I was just looking at food I've never seen before, and am only a little curious, that's all!"
Longyue snapped out of it and quickly averted her gaze, but her throat betrayed her as she audibly swallowed.
For some unknown reason, she who was unmoved by any delicacy in the Immortal Realm was now affected by the scent of fried chicken wafting through the air…
Seeing the stubborn Longyue trying to hold out, Lin Fan felt amused. He pointed to the corner of his mouth and teased:
"Queen, the saliva in the corner of your mouth is almost dripping."
"Wh-what…?!"
Longyue's expression showed alarm. She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, her beautiful face blushing with embarrassment and anger.
Longyue, oh Longyue, you are the Queen of the Immortal Realm, the revered Supreme Ruler of all. How could you humiliate yourself in front of the Demon Lord!
It's just mere ordinary food. With your willpower, how could you be tempted!
"Don't force yourself. Try a bit, it's very delicious, you know~"
"Believe me, this is a delicacy you've never tasted in the Immortal Realm."
Lin Fan took out another hamburger and handed it to Longyue.
Longyue's face showed hesitation, but then her gaze became firm, and she pushed away the hamburger in front of her.
"I don't need it!"
"I already told you, this Queen was born from the celestial immortal spirit and doesn't need to satisfy the desires of the mouth and stomach."
"Besides, what kind of delicacy has this Queen not eaten in the Immortal Realm? Ordinary trivial food is not worthy of this Queen's attention."
"Don't bother this Queen anymore!"
After saying so, Longyue resolutely closed her eyes and entered a state of meditation.
The next second, a "Grumbled grumble" sound broke the stillness of the room.
Lin Fan followed the sound and looked at Longyue, his gaze moving down to her abdomen.
Longyue's eyes were tightly closed. Even though she tried her best to pretend to be indifferent, her beautiful face was red like a crimson apple.
"Queen, your stomach seems to be grumbling?" Lin Fan asked.
Longyue opened her eyes and, with a flushed face, hotly denied:
"O-Of course not! You must have misheard!"
"This Queen does not feel hunger, how could my stomach grumble from hunger like a human's!"
As soon as her voice finished, her abdomen let out another "Grumbled grumble" sound…
Longyue: "…"
Lin Fan: "…"
Longyue and Lin Fan stared at each other, wide-eyed. The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
With the facts laid bare before her, Longyue knew she could no longer argue. She could only cough softly with a red face and change her tune, explaining with a serious expression:
"Alright, it seems the sound did come from this Queen, but…! It was absolutely not because this Queen is hungry!"
"Th-This is just… just something caused by my breathing regulation and energy circulation just now, a… heaven and earth phenomenon!"
"That's right! That's what it is! When one reaches a cultivation level like this Queen, it is completely normal for even the slightest movement to cause a small heaven and earth phenomenon!"
As she spoke, Longyue seemed as if she had convinced herself, and she nodded in agreement.
Lin Fan's brows furrowed, and he looked at her with a face full of pity.
It's over…
This Queen seems to have starved to insanity. It appears she has slightly lost her marbles…
