Chapter 415, I Don’t Eat Beef
The only piece of good news was that the various demon clans were too far apart to organize a coordinated attack anytime soon. So, there was still time.
After the meeting, Young Master Sang returned to his place, utterly exhausted.
As soon as he walked in, a not-so-great smell wafted through the air. It smelled like something had burned.
He rushed into the kitchen, only to see smoke billowing from the stove. His eyes widened in horror as he quickly turned off the flames and opened the windows.
After coughing his way out of the chaotic kitchen, he bumped into Long Huan, who had just come out of the bathroom.
“Ah, Zhe Er~ Welcome home!”
Long Huan was wearing a slightly oversized apron, and underneath, she was totally naked—though he could still catch a glimpse of her smooth curves from the side.
Upon seeing Young Master Sang, her beautiful eyes sparkled as she rushed over and hugged him.
“You’ve worked hard today, learning all day!”
“Now come, accept mommy’s kiss reward~”
As her adorable cherry lips came closer, Young Master Sang awkwardly pushed her away, not forgetting to ask, “Mom, what happened in the kitchen? And why aren’t you wearing any clothes?”
“Ah!”
At his reminder, Long Huan suddenly realized, ran to the kitchen, glanced around, and came back looking utterly deflated.
“It’s a disaster… I just wanted to make a loving dinner for you, but I forgot everything while washing my hands…”
“Sigh, mom, you’re really such a silly goose~”
She teased, stuck her tongue out, and made a silly face.
…Who did she learn this adorable tactic from?
“As for my clothes,” Long Huan turned around, showing off her impeccably smooth back while whispering, “I didn’t like how my clothes looked like they were made for kids. They seemed too childish, so I just didn’t wear them.”
“Even if you don’t like them, you can’t just not wear them! Running around the house naked is not okay!”
“Eh? Are you shy, Zhe Er?” Long Huan mischievously covered her mouth and chuckled, even playfully patting his backside, “It’s fine~ After all, when you were little, Mommy helped you wash up. You’ve seen this body so many times over the years, haven’t you?”
…What?
Where the heck did that absurd memory come from?
Young Master Sang regretted not deleting everything from Bai Ming’s communication device before the hypnosis and filling it with early childhood education content.
Long Huan was now in a completely unexpected state after the hypnosis.
It was even scarier than before.
“Anyway,”
He cleared his throat and slowly turned away, “Even if you’re my mom, you can’t be so exposed. There are boundaries between genders, this is too embarrassing.”
When Long Huan heard this, her cute little face momentarily showed a hint of disappointment. Then, with a feigned mournful sigh, she dragged her face down and lamented,
“Oh dear. The child has grown up and is starting to reject me.”
“Just a while ago, you were so cute and obedient; now you won’t even let Mommy hug and kiss you… Boohoo.”
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Young Master Sang felt extremely awkward.
“…My dear Nian Nian, please tell me how much longer this will last!”
“It’s only the first day, and you’re already cracking?”
Nian Nian’s teasing voice echoed in his ear, “You’re really useless. When you were acting for Shi Qingyan, I didn’t see you so stressed!”
“Isn’t that all your fault? You’re the one who made this such a disaster,” Young Master Sang complained, “Even playing the dad for Shi Qingyan wasn’t this torturous.”
“At least Shi Qingyan was a normal daughter. If I had to deal with someone like Airy, I wouldn’t last at all!”
“I’m only a system, responsible for plotting and providing methods, not for making decisions for the host.”
Nian Nian laughed, “You chose this path, so you have to see it through to the end. Good luck~”
The whispers faded away, making Young Master Sang even more irritated.
…This little schemer.
She had fully transformed into a little demon now.
This was not going to end well.
Before long, Long Huan suddenly seemed to remember something. Her eyes widened with excitement, and she pointed up.
“Eh!”
“I’ll make you a bowl of noodles. Super beef noodles for Zhe Er to try!”
Seeing Long Huan about to embark on her culinary disaster once again, Young Master Sang hurriedly stopped her, pleading, “Forget it, Mom, I don’t eat beef.”
“Just sit tight; I’ll make you a pot of hot pot instead.”
“Zhe Er… cooking?”
Suddenly, Long Huan’s eyes brimmed with tears of joy as she smiled hopefully, “Really? Mommy’s so happy; Zhe Er has grown up…”
Is that even heartwarming?
Young Master Sang found himself curious about how Long Huan usually spoiled this little princess.
It felt like Long Huan’s definition of “mother” was completely skewed.
While Young Master Sang got busy in the kitchen, Long Huan sat comfortably and stretched out luxuriously.
“Ah, I’m so excited to eat what Zhe Er cooked just for me!”
“But doesn’t Zhe Er dislike how I look right now?” Long Huan looked down at her naked body covered by the apron, tilting her head in confusion.
“Don’t teenage boys like this kind of outfit?”
“Wait, where do I even remember that from?”
“Hmm…”
After being puzzled for a moment, Long Huan simply shook her head and secretly sneaked into the kitchen.
“Zhe~ Er~ Let Mommy help too ❤”
“No, no! Quickly go back and put on some clothes; you’ll catch a cold!”
“No way~ Zhe Er doesn’t even want to see the outfit Mommy prepared with so much care? Mommy is so sad.”
“Why would you be sad enough to hug me?! Don’t touch me… Stop rubbing against me! Go back to your room!”
For the first time, Young Master Sang discovered that even making hot pot could be so challenging.

Hot pot truly was a magical remedy that could cure everything.
Despite the chaos that had ensued, the moment he tasted the spicy lamb slices, Young Master Sang couldn’t help but moan in pleasure.
“How is it? Does it suit your taste? Is it too spicy?”
“It’s perfect.” Long Huan smiled contentedly, her face beaming with happiness, “Zhe Er’s cooking is something Mommy could eat forever~”
“I don’t know if it’s because Zhe Er made it for me, but it feels especially delicious.”
“It’s nothing.” Young Master Sang waved his hand casually, “It’s hot pot; you don’t need to cook it. Just have hands!”
“Is that so? Then Mommy should learn to make it, and next time, make some for you—”
“—to eat?”
Long Huan blinked in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“…Nothing.” Long Huan scratched her head in puzzlement but ultimately laughed it off, pretending nothing was amiss.
