"Eat? Grilled mushrooms."
Luo Ning held the wooden stick in his hand and poked it at Lilulu's face.
The soft, white face was smudged with dirt from the stick, making it look like a spotted cat.
Lilulu remained indifferent. She wiped her face and turned her head away.
"Hmph, I don't need to eat."
"Ah, it's rare to have grilled mushrooms. Although there's no salt, they're still quite fragrant... Are you sure you don't want to eat?"
"I won't eat. Who knows if you'll poison me."
Lilulu indeed doesn't need to eat, but demons, like humans, have taste buds, and most demons eat for the satisfaction of their taste buds.
Although she spoke tough words, Lilulu still secretly glanced at Luo Ning.
Grilled mushrooms... She had never tried them before, even though her territory was full of various colored mushrooms. But as a demon king, she had no time to grill mushrooms to eat.
Moreover... the current situation of the demon race was critical. How could she have the leisure to eat grilled mushrooms here?
Thinking of this, Lilulu tightened her grip on the sickle.
'Dong——'
Luo Ning reached out and knocked on her.
"I don't have any poison to give you. Besides, I can't poison you, just like you can't poison me. We made promises to each other in the church."
Luo Ning took a bite of the fragrant mushroom, chewing and saying:
"Don't worry, you're my wife. I can't hurt my wife no matter what."
"You, that's what you claim! I've never admitted that!"
Her little fist clenched.
Luo Ning, the audacious man, had already hit her forehead twice. This time, she would definitely fight back.
So she dropped her weapon, clenched her five fingers into a small fist, and then 'bound' it, striking Luo Ning's chest.
Since Lilulu had no intention to kill this time, she actually did it.
The light and heavy fist landed on Luo Ning. It was the first time Lilulu had touched him.
"Um..."
Suddenly a hot, soft thing was stuffed into her mouth.
Lilulu opened her eyes wide, looking incredulously at Luo Ning, who had actually put the mushroom in her mouth.
The palm-sized mushroom almost filled her entire mouth, making it difficult for her tongue to move.
"Um, um!"
Lilulu seemed to be enjoying the taste, her eyes filled with 'tears' of emotion.
Luo Ning was confident in his cooking skills. Though it was his first time grilling wild mushrooms, he often cooked alone at home. His culinary skills were not to be underestimated.
Now, Lilulu was squatting on the ground, Luo Ning eating mushrooms and watching her. He also added some firewood to the dying bonfire.
The fire was hard to come by since Lilulu was always unwilling to help Luo Ning ignite the flame. Out of desperation, Luo Ning had to use the knowledge of a 21st-century man—drilling wood for fire.
As for the difficulty of drilling wood for fire, Luo Ning only needed to look at his worn-out hands to know.
He had even prepared himself for either a useless hand or starvation earlier.
Fortunately, what was not lacking in this forest was wood. Although most of it was damp, it was still usable.
"Um——"
After a long time, Lilulu finally swallowed the mushroom in her mouth.
Her eyes were misty, and her cheeks were red. She raised her sickle as if to swing it over.
Luo Ning knew the sickle couldn't hurt him, but he dodged it anyway.
"What's the matter? Is it so delicious? Your face is even red with excitement."
"You...!!"
Lilulu's face turned red, and she raised the sickle again in anger, smashing it down at Luo Ning.Just now, she almost choked on the food, but eventually she burned half of the mushroom with a bit of her dark flame, which allowed her to swallow it. As for the taste of the roasted mushroom, Lilulu swallowed it whole without tasting it. However, this wasn't a problem for her, as she wouldn't eat this man's food for a second time!
The black scythe swung through the air, making a whooshing sound as it repeatedly targeted Luo Ning. Regrettably, it never hit its mark, either being deflected or skillfully dodged by Luo Ning.
Luo Ning circled around the bonfire, his face showing an effortless expression, and even seemed to be lightly smiling. He had said he wouldn't hurt his wife, but never said he couldn't tease her.
Was there a problem with teasing his own wife? Luo Ning didn't know why he could laugh in such a dangerous place. This was a world where death could happen at any moment, full of magic and magical beasts, where one could die anytime.
But once people understood the reality, they would always think positively. Luo Ning had always been an optimistic person. No matter how hard reality hit him, he would eventually grit his teeth and get back up.
As long as one was alive, there was no obstacle that couldn't be overcome. For him, there were too many regrets and lost things in his previous life. In this life, he decided to treat himself better and also treat those who loved him better.
In the end, Lilulu gave up. She couldn't hit him, as he was as slippery as a snake. Even if she managed to find an opening, the power of her vow would stop her.
Rather than wasting her limited strength, she sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking about her next move.
"You're not going to attack me anymore?" Luo Ning looked at Lilulu's deflated appearance, so he approached her cheekily.
Lilulu sat cross-legged, her arms folded and her chest puffed. Seeing Luo Ning coming over, she snorted coldly. "Wait until I find a way to kill you, then I'll attack again," she said.
Luo Ning didn't comment on Lilulu's words. He leaned against the ground and slowly sat down. As it was a bit cold in the middle of the night, he deliberately sat very close to Lilulu. Although he knew that demons had a low body temperature, being closer to her gave him an inexplicable sense of security. After all, she was powerful.
Lilulu turned her face away, unwilling to be close to Luo Ning, so she moved her buttocks further away. Luo Ning closely followed her, insisting on sitting close to Lilulu.
The two circled around the bonfire like a crab.
"Fourth-order magic, dark magic - Prison of Confinement..." Luo Ning almost forgot. He was in a magical world. When a round of black magic circles suddenly appeared overhead, he was indeed somewhat surprised.
The magic circle emitted a black light, and the rays crisscrossed like a spider web. In the blink of an eye, a black… cage was formed. The target was not Luo Ning, but Lilulu.
Lilulu used the confinement magic on herself to maintain a distance from the shameless Luo Ning. She had tried it before, and none of the magic she released had any effect on Luo Ning.
At this stage, it was still unknown whether all magic was ineffective against Luo Ning, the Creator God, or just because of her own vow. Since it was ineffective against Luo Ning, she decided to confine herself instead. Therefore, her actions were quite strange to Luo Ning.
"…There's no need for this," Luo Ning said with a wry smile. Besides… tonight was supposed to be their wedding night!Playing pranks in the bridal chamber...forget it. At least they could sleep side by side.
The night was deep and quite cold.
Luo Ning let out a long sigh and had to move closer to the bonfire.
If there's no wife to hold, then he would just hold himself.
He lay on the ground, curling up his body.
He looked rather pitiful.
Lilulu closed her eyes tightly inside the magic confinement circle.
When everything was quiet around, she cautiously opened a little gap to peek at Luo Ning.
