God's Gift

Skye's paws landed on Yu Youyou's head, ruffling her freshly combed hair into a mess. Yu Youyou pushed it away in disgust.

Skye, stop stepping on my head.

"Forest god Forris, sky god Skye, I've long admired your names." Lu Keming offered polite compliments, but his gaze fell with concern as he looked at Yu Youyou's hair, which Skye's claws had ruffled. He extended his hand towards Skye:

"Please come onto my arm for now."

Skye moved without hesitation to Lu Keming's hand, grasping his strong arm. Recalling the feeling of being nourished by his divine power within his body for tens of thousands of years, it exclaimed:

"Your body feels more comfortable."

Yu Youyou tidied her messy hair, looked at Skye standing on Lu Keming's arm, and reached out to pull Skye off: "Skye, don't bully him."

Skye took a few steps toward Lu Keming's inside arm, showing no intention of leaving: "I didn't bully him, you stingy guy!"

Lu Keming reminded her from the side, "Youyou is not stingy."

“That’s only fair to you guys.” Skye flapped her wings, perched on Lu Keming’s shoulder, and dodged Yu Youyou’s hand:

"She never gave me a single fish to eat before."

"You don't like eating fish." Yu Youyou threw herself into Lu Keming's arms to grab Skye, and Lu Keming casually put his arm around Yu Youyou's waist and smiled as he pulled her into his embrace.

“Ew…” Skye was about to be drowned in pink bubbles. She flew to Forrest’s antlers with disgust and flapped her wings: “Is there anything to eat here? I’m hungry.”

After Skye's reminder, Yu Youyou belatedly realized what was happening and touched her stomach, saying, "I'm hungry too."

“Okay.” Lu Keming replied quickly. He looked at Skye and Fores and asked, “What do you usually eat?”

“They’re like me,” Yu Youyou nodded. “They can eat anything.”

Lu Keming nodded and led Yu Youyou towards the restaurant: "I'll go cook."

As soon as Lu Keming said this, Ye Yucheng, who was saying she was going to class, came running out excitedly: "My Lord! Is it lunchtime yet?"

Yu Youyou narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Ye Yucheng: "Aren't you going to the academy?"

"I just remembered I have a day off today." Ye Yucheng's eyes darted around guiltily as she tried to lie, "Let's go, fairy sister, the divine messenger's cooking is delicious!"

Yu Youyou snorted: "I know."

"Child, why do you call him Divine Messenger?" Skye leaned closer to Ye Yucheng: "Isn't he a god now?"

Skye was puzzled. Lu Keming had obtained the power of the Dark Star and had already become a true god. Why would this child still call him a divine messenger?

"Really?" Ye Yucheng looked puzzled. "I asked the Divine Envoy before, but he always denied it. He said he was just a Divine Envoy and the real god had not yet returned."

Skye narrowed her eyes, leaned closer to Yu Youyou, and muttered, "It seems he's still unwilling to admit his divine identity. Ou Xi, you'll have to comfort your anxious lover more."

"I know." Yu Youyou smiled slightly, turned around and went into the kitchen, looking at Lu Keming who was chopping vegetables.

Silver strands of hair fell loosely over his arms, slightly hindering his movements. Yu Youyou stepped forward and, mimicking how Lu Keming used to comb her hair, pulled it up.

Lu Keming noticed Yu Youyou's arrival, bent down and affectionately rubbed his face against hers, "Thank you, Youyou."

The soft downy fur brushed against her skin, causing a slight tickle. Yu Youyou couldn't help but laugh, shrinking back and asking with her eyes crinkled, "Mingming, have you always been the one cooking for Ye Yucheng?"

"Hmm." Lu Keming nodded, his voice blending into the gentle breeze: "I have almost nothing to do, so cooking is how I pass the time."

During the long wait for her, he idly cooked her favorite dishes and the dishes she had eaten tens of thousands of times. After cooking them, he imagined himself as her and swallowed each dish.

He relives every moment related to her as if addicted, and only by pretending that she is still by his side can he find some relief from the burning pain.

"Wow..." While Lu Keming was lost in thought, Yu Youyou hugged Lu Keming's waist from behind, her voice filled with envy: "Then he's been eating your cooking for almost ten years, I'm so envious!"

"From now on, for all eternity, Youyou will be able to eat my cooking." At this point, Lu Keming paused, turned, and looked down at Yu Youyou, his fingers curled, seemingly still somewhat uneasy.

"Is that right, Youyou?"

Yu Youyou looked into his eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, her voice firm and unwavering: "Of course!"

Lu Keming then smiled, bent down and kissed Yu Youyou on the lips. As he was about to get up afterward, Yu Youyou tightly hooked her neck and deepened the kiss.

The scent of the sea enveloped Lu Keming, his breathing became a little erratic, and he pulled Yu Youyou into his arms, kissing her even more deeply.

The voices of the two gods and Ye Yucheng could be faintly heard. Yu Youyou's soft body leaned against Lu Keming's chest, and her wet kisses eroded his consciousness, making Lu Keming's heart beat faster and his consciousness float lightly.

"Alright." But before Lu Keming could be satisfied, Yu Youyou's voice rang out, and the warmth in his arms disappeared again.

Lu Keming's eyes welled up with tears, his shimmering gaze following Yu Youyou's moist lips, his chest heaving with each breath.

Looking into Lu Keming's wet eyes, Yu Youyou's heart softened. She placed her hand on his lips and gently stroked them.

Lu Keming unconsciously opened his mouth and put Yu Youyou's finger into his mouth.

The warm, moist touch made her feel empty and itchy inside. Yu Youyou's body trembled violently. She quickly pulled her hand away and stared at Lu Keming's still-open lips with some panic.

"Stop looking, stop looking." Yu Youyou suddenly raised her hand and covered Lu Keming's mouth, it was unclear whether she was telling Lu Keming to stop looking or stopping herself.

Unexpectedly, Lu Keming's wet kiss landed on her palm again, and his hot breath made Yu Youyou's pupils tremble.

She withdrew her hand and quickly turned Lu Keming around so that his back was to her.

Lu Keming's stomach slammed against the edge of the counter, and he let out a muffled groan. He said, "Youyou, it's not like we didn't..."

"Don't say it." Yu Youyou covered Lu Keming's mouth, glanced back guiltily, and whispered, "I can hear you... I can hear you."
