Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Nie Shuyi is really not picky about food. He only cooks or stir-fries it when he is serious about it, but he also eats it raw at other times.

He is not picky about food; as long as he is full, he has no problem and doesn't ask for anything more.

So Nie Shuyi spent half a day working around that big pot, but the meat soup he cooked was... well, let's just say it wasn't very good.

Bai Fengming found it difficult to swallow the first bite. Even with his obedient nature, there were times when he couldn't please others.

Bai Fengming swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty. The meat was half-cooked and the soup was tasteless.

But Nie Shuyi kept feeding him, and seemed to enjoy it.

Little Phoenix swallowed a few mouthfuls but couldn't bear it any longer; it was too awful. She stared at Nie Shuyi with teary eyes, then refused to open her mouth again.

"Huh? Why aren't you eating? Is it too hot or are you full..." Nie Shuyi muttered to himself, and after asking, he tasted it himself, and it wasn't hot.

Then it was assumed that the little phoenix was full.

Nie Shuyi finished the rest of the food in the bowl in one gulp. Bai Fengming could tell that the food in the other person's mouth did not go through the taste buds, but went directly through the throat and esophagus into the stomach.

Bai Fengming was still stunned and hadn't recovered from wolfing down his food.

Nie Shuyi sighed, holding the bowl, "You only eat so little, no wonder you're such a tiny little thing."

He drank bowl after bowl of the remaining broth in the pot and then let out a satisfied burp.

After finishing his meal, he felt utterly lazy. Normally, Nie Shuyi would go back to the bottom of the pool to sleep, but now that he had a child, how could he leave the child unattended?

Full of a sense of responsibility, Nie Shuyi made room for himself to sleep, tucked the little phoenix into his arms to keep it warm, and lay down on his side to sleep.

This was the first time Bai Fengming had ever slept in someone else's arms. He peeked out and moved his little head to try and see the other person's face, but when he heard Nie Shuyi's even breathing, he couldn't help but marvel at how good Nie Shuyi's sleep quality was.

Once Nie Shuyi fell asleep, Bai Fengming dared not move or disturb her. So he quietly stayed on her chest and eventually fell asleep as well.

When Nie Shuyi woke up, he felt refreshed after a good night's sleep.

Looking down at the little phoenix sleeping peacefully on his chest, he couldn't help but smile.

Nie Shuyi gently took the little phoenix out of his arms, placed it on the cotton pad, and covered it with a small cotton quilt.

The dragon tiptoed away from its territory, went out and picked a lot of fruit, and also got a lot of meat.

When I got back, the little guy was still asleep. I don't know what I was so nervous about before, but now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I put the little phoenix back in my arms and held him on my side, my face full of bliss.

As soon as Bai Fengming opened his eyes, Nie Shuyi lifted him up. Nie Shuyi then sat up, took the washed fruit, and fed it to Bai Fengming.

Bai Fengming looked at Nie Shuyi, then at the fruit in front of him, nudged the fruit with his little head, and started chattering again.

Bai Fengming genuinely felt sorry for Nie Shuyi, who had to drink so much unpalatable meat soup, and was reluctant to eat the fruit.

"you eat first."

Nie Shuyi misunderstood, "You're a picky eater?"

"No... I didn't." Bai Fengming said something the other person couldn't understand, so he could only shake his head quickly.

"Huh? So what's this... you're going to let me eat first?" Nie Shuyi smacked his lips and made a wild guess, then suddenly answered the question correctly, making Bai Fengming nod hurriedly.

He was shaking and nodding his head, feeling a little dizzy, and almost lost his balance and fell. Luckily, Nie Shuyi reached out to protect him and helped him regain his balance.

"My son is just different, haha, look how filial he is."

Even though it's just me and Little Phoenix, I still have to show off a bit.

Nie Shuyi ate one himself and immediately continued to feed Bai Fengming.

Bai Fengming ate quite a lot of fruit, which pleased Nie Shuyi.

So much so that when it was mealtime, Little Phoenix absolutely refused to eat the meat soup he had cooked, which made him realize that this wouldn't do and that the priorities were reversed.

The next day, Nie Shuyi hid the fruit and refused to eat it when offered meat broth at mealtime.

The first time, I could explain it by saying I wasn't hungry, but the second time, I started to have doubts.

"You don't like meat broth?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Fengming nodded frantically, like a clicker.

Then it hopped around a few times, flapping its little wings.

"I'll die if I eat that, I really can't eat it anymore. I'm sorry..."

It chattered and made physical gestures for a long time, then finally collapsed to the ground as if it had breathed its last.

Nie Shuyi wasn't stupid; he understood. The little guy disliked his cooking, so he only ate fruit.

After scooping Bai Fengming into her palm, her tone was disappointed, "Is it that bad?"

Even with that question, she still took Bai Fengming to eat fruit.

"It's not that bad... Don't be sad. It's my fault, not yours," Bai Fengming comforted him, afraid he would be upset.

Since the other party couldn't understand, Bai Fengming gently rubbed the other party's fingers before starting the meal.

0561 chimed in, "What's wrong with saying the food is bad? Your life is more important, host!"

Nie Shuyi really took good care of Bai Fengming. Since Bai Fengming didn't eat, Nie Shuyi would gather a lot of fruit for him every day, afraid that he would go hungry.

Fearing the other person might get tired of the food, she even inquired about the origins of various fruits and went to pick them herself. Even though sometimes the taste wasn't right and she gave Bai Fengming a painful mask of suffering, Nie Shuyi's intentions were good.

Bai Fengming still spends all day burrowing into Nie Shuyi's chest and being taken out for walks, where Nie Shuyi proudly shows off his cub. He insists on hearing praise from every spirit beast he meets, and won't let it leave without it.

Until one day, he saw those two peacocks, who were courting death and provoking him. Nie Shuyi was initially ready to fight if he was not convinced, but then he remembered that he still had Little Phoenix with him.

Considering the child's education, Nie Shuyi endured it.

The local bully learned to be patient for the sake of the baby bird he had picked up—this was quite rare, and the news spread quickly.

But afterwards, Nie Shuyi wondered what was wrong. Why was there no reaction when the dead peacock cub was lost?

Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, the baby hasn't come to take it back?

That's really strange.

Bai Fengming was pampered by the fruit as he grew up, and his cultivation was also carried out under Nie Shuyi's protection.

The Spirit Pool was originally the territory of the dragon, rich in spiritual energy, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

Such a good place can only be provided by local bullies.

Bai Fengming cultivated diligently, but made little progress.

All he did all day was eat and drink, go out with Nie Shuyi and listen to him brag, and then come back to cultivate and rest.

Bai Fengming gradually got used to Nie Shuyi's embrace; it was really warm and comfortable to sleep nestled in his arms.

He doesn't dislike Nie Shuyi, but according to 0561, Nie Shuyi doesn't particularly like him yet.

The single-digit love value is less than the blackening value.

But even this pitiful affection made Bai Fengming dependent on and attached to Nie Shuyi.

Nie Shuyi began to worry as he watched his little one eat but not grow. Was he raising his child wrong?

Was it bad feng shui in his territory, or was his child's picky eating affecting his growth? Nie Shuyi couldn't help but make wild guesses.
