My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1053 Worrying about gains and losses
By the time everything was finished, it was already past midnight. The little vixen, who had just found a boyfriend (in her own mind), still wanted to stay close to Yun Zhongzi, chatting with him enthusiastically, or watching movies and playing games together.

Yun Zhongzi could clearly see that the little fairy was exhausted after a long day, but seemingly in order to cultivate her relationship with Yun Zhongzi, she would force herself to be energetic and show her best side.

The little fairy would stay up until 2 a.m. before going back to her room to sleep, but she would pretend to be asleep. She would quietly come to the guest room at 3 a.m., plotting against Yun Zhongzi, seemingly planning to quickly make things complicated.

After all that, even with her excellent racial talent and the physical attributes of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she still couldn't fully recover her energy in the morning, and was even too tired to get out of bed.

The city's morning rush hour traffic is terrible, and high-speed, low-altitude flight is prohibited for demon or human cultivators with the ability to fly. She has to leave early to take the bus to work. The past two days, she didn't even have time to make or eat breakfast before rushing out the door.

So Yun Zhongzi took the initiative to make breakfast for her, partly out of friendship despite their age difference, and partly as compensation to her.

Xiao Jie's breakfast is not difficult to make. She prefers fresh fruits and vegetables, and her favorite condiments are various kinds of honey. She is a pure vegetarian fairy.

Judging from this point alone, Yun Zhongzi concluded that if Venerable Kasyapa had suggested kidnapping, torturing, and dissecting her, it would have been an unjust killing of an innocent person.

They are born without eating blood, and their diet is even more strictly regulated than that of monks from many Western religious sects. They must not have been involved in any evil deeds of killing, and should never have suffered the fate of being abused, murdered, or killed unjustly.

Yun Zhongzi also learned from the little fairy that although the appearance and physical characteristics of this new insect race may vary greatly, their diet is surprisingly consistent, and they are all vegetarians.

The difference is that some varieties like to gnaw on tree roots or tubers, some prefer leafy vegetables, and some like to suck tree sap.

The vegetarian diet is not something Wen Rui extracted from other organisms and edited into the gene sequence of the new mosquito species, but rather a recessive segment that is inherent in their basic genes.

Male mosquitoes primarily feed on plant sap, and some species, such as midges, neither males nor females suck blood, making them harmless to humans and animals.

Directly stimulating this recessive gene that the mosquito species already possesses is much easier than transplanting genes from herbivores into them. Moreover, since it is a fragment of their own genes, there is less chance of coding errors or gene trait conflicts.

With just a slight adjustment, the blood-sucking, infamous mosquito clan was transformed into a benevolent clan that was even more compassionate than the monks of the Western religion.

When Mosquito Daoist was creating demonic mosquitoes in the Netherworld Blood Sea, he did not consider manifesting vegetarian genes because the land was too barren, almost a wasteland. Where would there be plants for the huge population of demonic mosquitoes to eat?
Bloodsucking became the only option for the race to survive.

Mosquito Taoist had considered that once she conquered the mortal realm, she could try to adjust the genes of the demonic mosquitoes, change their diet, and grow food in the mortal realm, thereby completely reversing the bloodthirsty and murderous nature of the Blood Sea Demon Clan.

But Wen Rui's policy of draining the waters of the four seas and creating a severe drought left no chance for Mosquito Daoist, so she had no choice but to go down this dark path.

When she and Wen Rui worked together to create the new Demon Mosquito race, they had no reservations and directly made the recessive herbivorous genes of the new Demon Mosquito race manifest, fundamentally changing the race's diet.

In this way, the new Mosquito race no longer depends on blood, does not need to suck blood to live, and will no longer be tainted by sin.

After the climate in the mortal realm recovered, agriculture was the first industry to recover. The supply of fruits and vegetables in the Demon Alliance was very abundant and the prices were quite low. The cost of living for the new demon insect race was much lower than that of carnivorous or blood-eating demon races.

Yun Zhongzi carried the glass bowl out of the kitchen and came to the dining table in the central hall. He set out the breakfast and tableware, then sat down quietly to wait.

Not long after, a soft rustling sound came from the guest room. The door slowly opened, and a little fairy, completely naked except for two semi-transparent cicada wings covering her private parts, yawned as she walked out.

She seemed not fully awake yet, and groggily made her way to the dining table, climbed onto the chair, and picked up a spoon to eat the breakfast that Yun Zhongzi had prepared for her. Although they had only been living together for a week, the demon and the immortal had already gotten along quite well, and often they didn't need to say much; they had already developed a tacit understanding with each other.

"It's so delicious! It's strange, we're both fruit, so why does mine taste as good as yours?"

While eating, the little fairy couldn't help but praise the breakfast. This wasn't because she was giving Yun Zhongzi emotional value, but because she was trying to make conversation to please her live-in boyfriend who was always lusting after him but couldn't resist.

The delicious taste is not an illusion, because Yun Zhongzi cuts fruit with divine power. Even a pile of excrement can be transformed into something magical under the influence of divine power, and mortals who eat it can extend their lifespan by several years.

It's like the Dragon King's sneeze or the mud pills that Ji Gong made; they can be given to mortals as panaceas.

Moreover, the loving breakfasts made by Yun Zhongzi are not just delicious.

If a Foundation Establishment stage demon eats this, it can't be said to prolong life or cure all diseases, but at least it can greatly restore energy and physical strength, and adjust the body to its best condition.

It can make up for the exhaustion she expended after a long day of work and staying up all night to cultivate her relationship with Yun Zhongzi.

This can be considered Yun Zhongzi's small compensation to her.

As she ate her increasingly delicious breakfast, the little fairy's amber eyes shone as she looked at Yun Zhongzi's deliberately ugly old face, her eyes filled with such sweet affection that they seemed about to drip.

The natural aura emanating from Yun Zhongzi alone was enough to make the little fairy fall in love at first sight. However, after spending only a few days together, she discovered new shining qualities in Yun Zhongzi.

It's like asking an innocent little girl if she'll be seduced by a blond-haired man when she grows up. She'll vehemently deny it, but if you ask her if that blond-haired man makes the best fried rice in the world, she'll hesitate.

For Xiao Jie, it's now a case of yellow hair and the best fried rice in the world. Which girl could withstand such a test?

"I'm glad you like it... What would you like for dinner? I've made it and will wait for you to get off work."

Yun Zhongzi smiled calmly and replied casually.

"Anything is fine, as long as it's made by you, it's my favorite food."

The little fairy smiled sweetly, looking completely immersed in happiness and utterly content.

After saying this, a barely perceptible hint of unease flashed in her eyes. The human man before her was simply the perfect partner; she had already decided that he was her true love.

But they were already living together, and she had taken the initiative to get into this man's bed, so why wouldn't he want to have a deeper relationship with her?

Every day after get off work, Xiao Jie would feel a strange sense of panic and rush home. The moment she opened the door was the most nerve-wracking for her, fearing that her ideal husband would be gone.
