As a wild female dragon, Zi Ji, out of pride for her dragon race, had practically never had contact with humans, let alone eaten human food; she had almost always lived by hunting and gathering.
This was the first time she had ever tasted human-cooked food, and it was Dan Heng who had made it.
She pointed at the food in her mouth, gesturing wildly and making incoherent noises.
"..." Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing, sitting nearby, quietly moved to the side.
Her master's sister was indeed acting very strangely, completely unlike a normal person!
Gu Yuena's forehead creased with black lines. She glanced at Zi Ji and said coldly, "Don't make such a fuss!"
Zi Ji quickly stopped, swallowed the food in her mouth, and looked at Dan Heng with bright, passionate eyes. "It's so delicious! What is this?! I've never eaten such delicious food before!"
Dan Heng looked at Zi Ji in surprise. He knew that Zi Ji was also a dragon, not a human.
Were the dragons in this world really so miserable?
Even ordinary food was considered a delicacy?
"If you like it, eat more," Dan Heng nodded.
"Brother-in-law! You...you're such a good person!"
Zi Ji exclaimed.
Now, she added in her mind, at least today, she wouldn't call Dan Heng an old lecher!
All for this delicious food!
What was the Emperor's mission compared to this gluttony?
Zi Ji's eyes were glued to the dishes, her chopsticks reaching for the food more frequently than Gu Yue Na's. Her cherry-like mouth seemed never to close as she devoured the food like a whirlwind.
Gu Yue Na shook her head helplessly. How could her subordinate be so unreliable?
She was supposed to win over Dai Mu Bai, but now she was running to her house and trying to steal her food?
Just as she reached out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken, Zi Ji snatched it away first.
"..." Gu Yue Na narrowed her eyes and looked up at Zi Ji.
Zi Ji's mouth was glistening with oil, and her cheeks were puffed out, making her look like a little hamster, which diluted her allure and made her look rather cute and comical.
"Zi Ji! Mind your manners! This isn't your house," Gu Yue Na reminded her gently.
Zi Ji licked her lips, biting her chopsticks, and looked at Gu Yuena with an innocent expression.
Gu Yuena said seriously, "When you eat, you should eat properly. Is this what you call eating? You're wolfing down your food; you've almost finished it all. Are we supposed to eat anymore?"
Dan Heng looked at Gu Yuena calmly. Before Zi Ji arrived, Gu Yuena's eating manners were elegant, but her speed wasn't any slower than Zi Ji's.
Gu Yuena looked up at Dan Heng, and their eyes met.
A blush appeared on her face, as if she had guessed Dan Heng's thoughts.
"Husband, I'm teaching Zi Ji a lesson. She'll have to get married in the future, so she can't be so unruly. Eat slowly, be a little more ladylike..."
Zi Ji looked at Gu Yuena with a wronged expression. Eat slowly? How long would that take?
If it weren't for the master being here, she would have wanted to stuff all the food into her mouth!
Although that old lecher was no good, his cooking skills were amazing!
She even wanted to turn into a dragon and steal that old lecher away so he could cook exclusively for her.
Of course, she also knew that the old lecher's strength might even surpass that of her master, making him far beyond what a mere little dragon like herself could handle.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, silently swallowing her white rice.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
The four of them resumed their peaceful eating, with Gu Yuena deliberately slowing down.
However, among the four, she used chopsticks the most frequently.
Zi Ji glared at Dan Heng while following Gu Yuena in picking up food.
She didn't blame her master for scolding her; she blamed Dan Heng, that old lecher!
It was all his fault!
"..." Dan Heng didn't eat much before leaving the table.
He couldn't bear being stared at by Zi Ji's resentful gaze any longer.
He became even more certain that Zi Ji was indeed mentally unstable.

He should be more patient with a mentally ill person and not take it personally.
...
Evening.
Zi Ji was arranged to sleep with Zhu Zhuqing.
Dan Heng didn't want to have too much contact with this "sister-in-law"; she was a "troublesome" person.
Once he provoked her, it would definitely disrupt the peace, and she might be as difficult to deal with as a blade.
He returned to his bedroom and saw a book on the table by the window.
The cover read "Three-Year Plan."
"What plan?" Dan Heng was slightly taken aback. At this moment, a fragrant breeze blew in from behind, and Gu Yuena hurriedly ran over, picked up the book from the table, and turned back to give him a bright smile.
"I just wrote it for fun when I had nothing to do,"
Gu Yuena said guiltily.
She was sure that Dan Heng was a person who liked peace and quiet. If Dan Heng knew that she had an ambitious plan, it would probably make him wary, which would be very bad.
Gu Yuena returned to bed, crawled under the covers, and revealed her bright and pretty face, looking at Dan Heng expectantly.
What Zi Ji had done today made her very unhappy.
At the same time, it reminded her that her relationship with her husband wasn't close enough.
Now that they were husband and wife, they barely held hands in their daily lives,
let alone anything else.
Therefore, she had to try to change things and increase their intimacy.
Dan Heng looked at Gu Yuena with a puzzled expression, as if he could see something in her exquisitely beautiful, small face.
"You…"
Gu Yuena blinked, "Husband, it seems we haven't had any late-night conversations since we got married, have we?"
"My…sister came today, and I wanted to talk to you more. We still feel a bit distant from each other, um, I want to get…closer."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena smiled shyly, her eyes bright.
"…" Dan Heng was silent for a moment, then got into bed, turned his back to Gu Yuena, and shook his head, saying, "It's time. I won't stay up late, and sweet dreams."
"???"
Gu Yuena watched as Dan Heng turned his back to her, and soon his breathing became steady and long, clearly indicating he had fallen asleep.
So fast?!
With a stiff expression, Gu Yuena nudged Dan Heng's shoulder. "Wake up, husband, wake up! Let's talk about Zhu Qing. When she reaches level 30, I'll teach her..."
Dan Heng remained unresponsive.
Gu Yuena puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, clenching her fists, wanting to give Dan Heng a good whack on
the head. She gestured twice, then hesitated, letting out a soft snort.
"Bad husband..."
...
Meanwhile, on the city wall not far from the courtyard, Di Tian was watching this scene. Seeing all the lights in the room off, a look of curiosity crossed his face.
"Has Zi Ji relieved the master's burden?"
Di Tian sighed softly, feeling a deep sense of frustration.
It was because he wasn't strong enough that he needed to appease Dan Heng.
Under the bright starlight, Di Tian stood quietly, gazing at the small courtyard, imagining just how strong Dan Heng was that his master would make such a sacrifice.
