Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead Vol 2. Chapter 14: Feeding

After Miss Yumo's diligent efforts, a dazzling variety of delicious dishes soon filled the dining table.

Originally, Yumo hadn't planned on making so many dishes, but considering how many ingredients Qiu Mingtong had delivered, it would have been wasteful not to use them...

Adhering to the glorious tradition of not wasting food, Yumo cooked everything.

After all, besides ngxi, those two little girls, Liyu and Limo, would also need to eat. Though she had no idea where those two had run off to play...

Still,

preparing dinner in advance and waiting for them to co back was never a bad thing. After children finished playing and returned ho tired, being able to eat a steaming hot al would surely be a very happy thing.

Besides,

having not entered a kitchen in human form for such a long ti, Yumo couldn't help showing off her skills a little.

For so reason, she always wanted to demonstrate her abilities in front of the little girl.

...

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes before her, Miss Yumo put her hands on her hips and revealed a beautiful smile full of accomplishnt.

Afterward,

she turned toward the silver-haired girl hiding behind the staircase and "peeking" and helplessly waved her over.

"ngxi, little one, stop hiding and co over. I noticed you a long ti ago~"

"Umu~"

Hearing Yumo's call, ngxi let out an adorable cry before running into the dining room.

"Big Sister Yumo~, can we eat now?"

Wearing a sweet smile, she asked curiously.

The silver-haired girl seed eager to try the many dishes she had never seen before. Her voice was filled with impatience, and starlight sparkled in her pale purple eyes as she blinked and stared at Yumo.

Seeing such an adorable and lovely expression, Yumo smiled and nodded.

Originally, Yumo wanted to wait for Liyu and Limo to return before eating together, but considering how strange Liyu's gaze toward ngxi had been lately...

And since there was no telling when those children would co back, Yumo gave up on that idea.

Watching the childlike heroine skip happily over to her, Yumo couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Fortunately, this situation shouldn't last too long.

Otherwise, how would the heroine defeat her in the future?

Could she really just kill her with cuteness?

Uh...

Why does that actually sound possible...

Yumo silently complained in her heart.

And while complaining,

her crimson eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

After locking onto ngxi's bare little feet, a trace of anger imdiately surfaced in Yumo's eyes.

"You little girl, didn't I tell you?! No running around barefoot! Even with the heating on, the floor is still cold! What if you catch a cold?!"

As she spoke, Yumo flashed over in an instant.

Under ngxi's slightly surprised gaze, she picked up the disobedient child and sat her down in a chair before reaching out and rubbing her cute little feet.

Sure enough,

they were a little cold...

The black-haired girl's brows furrowed.

"You really don't listen, do you?"

A hint of reproach couldn't help slipping into Yumo's voice.

Hearing this, ngxi's pale purple eyes reddened slightly. Pouting pitifully, she spoke innocently,

"B-But Big Sister Yumo does it too..."

ngxi pointed toward Yumo's own bare feet and protested unwillingly.

"Uh, I'm different from you, okay?"

Yumo raised a hand to her forehead helplessly.

Sigh...

The main reason she didn't wear shoes was simply because she was used to it...

For more than five hundred years, as the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, she had been in constant contact with the earth.

So even after taking human form, she had maintained the sa habit...

Besides, Yumo really didn't like those high-heeled or flashy shoes Saiboke had provided.

Most importantly!

She wasn't afraid of cold!

Not just cold—she wasn't worried about injuries either!

With her physical body, even stepping on a blade would leave her completely unhard!

However,

ngxi couldn't understand any of that. Speaking softly and pitifully, she looked as wronged as could be.

"Wuuu, what's... different about it..."

"Sigh..."

Yumo couldn't help sighing.

"Forget it, forget it. From now on, I'll wear shoes properly too. You wear yours properly too, alright?"

Uh...

Forget about those shoes Saiboke brought...

Hm? Co to think of it, there are plenty of white bandages in storage. Wrapping my feet with bandages should be fine...

Yumo thought to herself.

anwhile, she continued rubbing ngxi's little feet with her hands to warm them up.

A mont later,

surrounded by several blood butterflies, a pair of cute woolen slippers floated down from upstairs.

Sighing softly, Yumo helped ngxi put them on.

"We'll let this one slide. But be careful from now on, okay?"

"Mhm~"

ngxi obediently nodded and cooperatively put on the slippers.

Once they were on,

Yumo stood up slightly.

"Alright, alright. Didn't you want to eat the food your big sister made? Here it is~"

As she spoke,

Yumo proudly pointed at the dishes spread across the table.

At the sa ti, several blood butterflies carried a fragrant bowl of sweet porridge out of the kitchen and placed it before ngxi.

"And this too. I made it especially for you~"

Yumo smiled gently.

This wasn't ordinary porridge.

It was delicious food infused with a rare physique-enhancing dicine~

Since the heroine currently had the temperant of a child,

Yumo was afraid ngxi might refuse bitter dicine. So she had painstakingly mixed it into the sweet porridge while preserving its effectiveness.

This way, ngxi shouldn't dislike it, right?

Drink it quickly, strengthen your body, hehe~

However,

the next mont, Yumo couldn't help looking puzzled.

Because,

ngxi didn't excitedly start drinking the porridge as Yumo expected.

Nor did she touch any of the dishes on the table.

Instead, she simply sat there with her hands between her legs, staring at Yumo with her beautiful pale purple eyes.

?!

Hm?

"W-What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?"

"No."

ngxi shook her head decisively.

Seeing this, Yumo frowned slightly.

"T-Then what's wrong?"

"Big Sister Yumo, feed ~"

ngxi said in a spoiled tone.

"Eh? Th-That..."

"Wuuu, you promised this morning!"

Puffing up her cheeks, ngxi glared at Yumo. It looked as though if Yumo dared say "no," the silver-haired girl would imdiately throw a tantrum.

"..."

Seeing this, Yumo fell silent for a mont.

Promise?

Co to think of it, she really had...

Recalling how she had coaxed ngxi in the morning and promised to cook for her at night...

Since that was the case,

then fine.

Anyway, Limo and Liyu weren't here.

Otherwise, if they saw this, they would definitely insist on being fed every al in the future.

Thinking this,

Yumo resigned herself and nodded.

"Alright."

"Yay!!"

Seeing Yumo agree, ngxi let out a joyful laugh.

In response, Yumo helplessly patted the girl's little head.

Then she picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped out a spoonful, and held it before her own soft, full red lips, gently blowing on it to make sure it wouldn't burn ngxi.

Once she felt the temperature was right, she brought the spoon before ngxi.

"Here, ah~"

Seeing this, ngxi cooperatively stretched out her head and slightly parted her cherry lips, taking the spoon into her mouth in one bite.

As the sweet porridge entered her mouth and the sweetness stimulated her taste buds,

a smile full of happiness blossod on ngxi's peerlessly beautiful little face.

Looking at that sweet smile,

Yumo herself couldn't help feeling warmth well up inside.

Looks like making sweet porridge was the right choice~

Children really do prefer sweets~

Besides,

'Being fed like this doesn't seem bad either...'

...

...

And so,

the warm and gentle ti passed little by little.

As various dishes and sweet porridge entered her stomach and the dicine gradually took effect, an irresistible drowsiness slowly crept over ngxi's little head.

Finally unable to resist it, after struggling for a short while, the silver-haired girl collapsed onto Yumo's lap and fell asleep.

Seeing this,

Yumo smiled softly and put down the small bowl.

After wiping away the oil stains around ngxi's lips with a wet cloth, Yumo carefully lifted the sleeping heroine into her arms.

Surrounded by countless blood butterflies,

she slowly walked toward the room...
