My Wife is an Empress from the Immortal Realm

Ch. 4



Chapter 4 - This Empress Doesn't Need to Eat

“Hoo~”

After about two and a half hours, the living room was finally clean. Longyue collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.

The amount of exercise she did today alone was comparable to a hundred years' worth of exercise for her in the Immortal Realm...

“Oh, as expected of the Empress, you’ve cleaned it so well.”

Lin Fan walked out of the bathroom carrying an empty bucket. Looking at the nearly spotless living room and the floor that was almost reflective, he couldn’t help but let out a heartfelt sigh of admiration.

“Hmph, of course. Don’t you know who this Empress is? Merely cleaning a room is not enough to challenge me.”

Longyue sat up, proudly raising her snow-white neck.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Lin Fan smiled faintly. After putting away the bucket and rag, he picked up the full garbage bag and walked to the door, turning his head back to look at Longyue.

“I’m a little hungry after cleaning for so long.”

“I'm going out to throw away the trash and buy something to eat on the way. Is there anything you want to eat?”

“Eat? Hmph~”

Longyue gave a disdainful smile, her eyes closing slightly as she gently caressed her chest, her face brimming with pride.

“This Empress is of celestial immortal spiritual birth. Since birth, I have been bathed in the immortal spirit of heaven and earth and soaked in ten-thousand-year immortal milk. I have never needed to eat.”

“What’s more, mere miscellaneous mortal food will only affect this Empress’s immortal body, leaving unnecessary impurities to remain within.”

At this point, Longyue paused, pointed a finger at Lin Fan, and revealed a smug look of having seen through everything.

“Demon Sovereign, do you think this Empress can’t see through you?”

“You must be trying to use the pretext of eating to make me consume miscellaneous mortal food, so that impurities will slowly accumulate in my body, thereby affecting my immortal physique, right!”

“The Azure-Silver Immortal Pupils of this Empress have already seen through your insidious plots! Hahaha!”

Lin Fan: “…”

Lin Fan was at a complete loss for words, not knowing what to say.

He had a feeling that this Empress seemed to be suffering from a bit of a persecution complex…

“So, do you want any or not?”

“No! This Empress will absolutely not fall for it!”

“I would sooner jump from here and starve to death on the streets than eat a single bite of your, Demon Sovereign’s, food!”

Longyue’s expression was resolute, her words sonorous and forceful.

“Alright, then don’t you dare regret it later.”

Seeing her so determined, Lin Fan didn’t insist any further. He opened the door and left the room.

Bang.

As the door closed, Longyue, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, furrowed her beautiful brows slightly.

Hmph! Isn’t it just a meal? She hadn't eaten for at least several hundred years. What was there to regret!

Soon, the door was opened again. Lin Fan returned to the room with 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 and eagerly opened the bag.

As soon as the bag was opened, a fragrance unique to fried chicken instantly permeated the entire room.

“It’s been so long since I’ve had fried chicken and hamburgers. The taste really makes me nostalgic.”

Saying this, Lin Fan picked up a spicy chicken leg burger and took a bite. His face was instantly filled with satisfaction and happiness, so moved that he almost burst into tears.

“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, sandworm noodles, and freshly squeezed tree bark juice—things that were simply not meant for human consumption!

After several hundred years, tasting fried chicken and hamburgers again after so long, he instantly felt alive once more.

This is the food that humans are supposed to eat!

Watching Lin Fan’s exaggerated way of eating, Longyue twitched her fine nose, her gaze couldn't help but curiously drift toward the hamburger and fried chicken in his hands.

Is this stuff really that delicious, that it could make the majestic Supreme Sovereign of the Demon Realm reveal such an intoxicated and moved expression…?

The smell is actually quite fragrant...

As Lin Fan picked up a chicken wing and was about to put it in his mouth, his peripheral vision caught sight of Longyue staring with eager anticipation.

“Hmm? Empress, do you want some too?”

“Of-Of course I don’t want any!”

“I was just looking at food I’ve never seen before, and was j-just a little curious, that’s all!”

Longyue snapped back to her senses and quickly averted her gaze, but her throat betrayed her as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

For some reason, she who could not be moved by any delicacy of the mountains and seas in the Immortal Realm was now moved by the aroma of fried chicken lingering in the air…

Watching the stubborn Longyue putting on a brave front, Lin Fan felt amused. He pointed to the corner of her mouth and teased:

“Empress, the drool at the corner of your mouth is about to drip.”

“Wh-What…?!”

Longyue’s expression showed alarm. She hurriedly reached up to wipe the corner of her mouth, her beautiful face flushing with shame and anger.

Longyue, oh Longyue, you are the Empress of the Immortal Realm, the Supreme Sovereign revered by all. How could you make a fool of yourself in front of the Demon Sovereign!

It’s just mere miscellaneous mortal food. With your willpower, how could you be tempted!

“Don’t force yourself. Have a taste, it’s very delicious, you know~”

“Trust me, this is a delicacy you have 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 before her.

“I don’t need it!”

“I have said it, this Empress is of celestial immortal spiritual birth and has no need to satisfy the desires of the mouth and stomach.”

“Furthermore, what delicacies of the mountains and seas has this Empress not eaten in the Immortal Realm? Mere miscellaneous mortal food is not worthy of this Empress’s notice.”

“Don’t bother this Empress any further!”

With that, Longyue resolutely closed her eyes and entered a meditative state.

The next second, a “Rumble rumble” sound broke the tranquility of the room.

Lin Fan followed the sound and looked at Longyue, his gaze moving down to her abdomen.

Longyue’s eyes were tightly shut. Although she tried her best to feign ignorance, her pretty face was as crimson as a red apple.

“Empress, your… stomach seems to be growling?” Lin Fan asked.

Longyue opened her eyes and, with a blushing face, argued back forcefully:

“O-Of course not! You must have misheard!”

“This Empress does not feel hunger, how could my stomach possibly growl from hunger like a mortal’s!”

As her voice fell, her stomach once again let out a “Rumble rumble” sound…

Longyue: “…”

Lin Fan: “…”

Longyue and Lin Fan stared at each other, wide-eyed. The scene fell silent for a moment.

With the facts laid bare before her, Longyue knew she could no longer argue her way out of it. She could only cough lightly with a red face and change her tune, explaining with a serious expression:

“Alright, it seems the sound did indeed come from this Empress, but…! It is absolutely not because this Empress is hungry!”

“Th-This is just… just something caused by regulating my breath and circulating my energy just now, a… a phenomenon of heaven and earth!”

“That’s right! That’s exactly it! When one reaches this Empress’s level of cultivation, it is very normal for the slightest movement to cause a small phenomenon of heaven and earth!”

As she spoke, Longyue seemed to have convinced herself, and she nodded in approval.

Lin Fan’s brow twitched, and he looked at her with a face full of pity.

It’s over…

This Empress seems to have been starved silly. It looks like she’s become a little delirious…
