The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 141: Sleeping In

Finally, Xiya listened to Lynn’s advice, closed her eyes, and finished the meat on her plate in just a few bites.

It’s not that she abhors meat that much, she just doesn’t particularly like it.

Just like how Lynn used to enjoy eating stir-fried pork with green peppers, though he didn’t like eating the peppers. He would pick out the pork, but if some peppers came along with it, he’d still eat them.

Seeing Xiya being so obedient, Lynn couldn’t help but glance at Catherine. In this household, everyone from big to small is obedient girls and good babies, even the cats, except for Catherine, who is a die-hard adherent.

But it’s no big deal. Even the freest sand won’t fly if you wet it. As long as Catherine isn’t a fairy, there will be a day when she is moved by him.

...

After dinner, Catherine, having eaten so much, didn’t fuss about going home. She didn’t even look for Little Youli for reassurance and instead, casually found a guest room to burrow into.

Little Yuna, having just been educated by Xiya in the evening, now dragged Little Youli to her side to sleep.

Vivian, who had been named by Lynn to look after her last night, saw the late hour and couldn’t help but recall previous experiences. With a flushed face, she scampered away, leaving the teasing Lynn to Xiya’s care.

As the crowd dispersed, even the cats curled up in their beds, Lynn cast a mischievous look at Xiya. She bravely met his gaze without any trace of fear.

"Aren’t you worried or scared at all?"

Lynn gently took Xiya’s smooth little hand, leading her to the master bedroom as he asked her.

"There’s no need to be scared of something every woman experiences; it’s just a matter of time."

Xiya compliantly let Lynn lead her to the wolf’s den, answering his questions nonchalantly.

"Moreover, if it’s with you, I’m even less worried because I’m willing. Not just to be close to you, but even if we became a true couple tonight, I, Xiya Belinda, would not regret it once I’ve decided."

Then, Xiya continued chatting with Lynn. The hand he held showed no sign of trembling, reflecting her genuine resolve.

"Have you started liking me even a little yet?"

Lynn stopped at the bedroom door, turning to her with a serious question.

"A little, I suppose it started when I was taking care of the kids for you. This affection grows a bit each day until these past couple of days it became clearer. Elves are very meticulous and sensitive; I can feel my emotional changes. It started with gratitude, deepened with warmth, and at this rate, love will soon follow."

While speaking, Xiya unconsciously leaned on Lynn’s shoulder but stubbornly kept her face sideways, looking into his eyes as if to prove her sincerity.

The Elf Race is known for being slow to warm up, having plenty of time to develop feelings. Yet, throughout her time with Lynn, without any special events or intense emotional displays, she unwittingly started to like this man.

Kindness scored high, but it wasn’t the turning point. He clearly isn’t skilled at stirring hearts, merely indulging in minor mischief and jokes, but staying in his house, sharing meals, playing with cats, and raising kids together made her genuinely comfortable.

In her past welfare work, there were more kids, and she collected joy from them, but never experienced the familial bond of parents, kids, and pets like this.

If Lynn’s great kindness to the Elf Race was the initial reason she was willing to interact with him, then the well-behaved, sensible kids and the obedient cats definitely scored major bonus points for Lynn. Otherwise, just having Lynn accompany her wouldn’t have drawn her in even a fingernail’s depth so quickly...

"Then you should work harder. The sooner we have love, the sooner we can have a love crystal."

Lynn kissed the tip of Xiya’s nose, who was looking up at him, then held her hand and opened the door to walk inside.

"Click"

The sound of the door being locked.

That night, because of the affectionate warmth Xiya showed before sleep, Lynn didn’t thoroughly tire her out as promised.

But he didn’t spare her either...

Lynn has never been one to suffer a loss. Even if he toned it down for Xiya, it didn’t stop him from thoroughly enjoying the night...

...

The next morning, Lynn woke up early.

This time he managed to catch her before she could slip away.

When he got up, Xiya was already dressed, but even after the whole night, the blush on her pretty face hadn’t completely faded.

"Why are you up so early? Sleep a little longer."

Lynn reached out and grabbed Xiya, who tried to dash away seeing him wake, urging her to stay a while longer affectionately.

"No... no, today Catherine is taking Vivian to the Celestial Destiny Magic and Martial Arts Academy, and I need to take the kids to look around and get familiar with the place."

Xiya lightly struggled with a flushed face. She’s not afraid of being intimate with Lynn, but that doesn’t mean she’s not wary of him continually trying to be intimate.

Especially since he claims to be a pure-hearted man, without previous women, yet when he makes a move, he does it expertly.

If it were just that, it would be okay, but he also...

Also competes with their unborn baby for food; claiming he’s still not full is utterly unreasonable. She doesn’t have any baby food to feed him now!

"Catherine and the others can’t get up this early. Just rest a bit more, just a little longer..."

Lynn listened for sounds outside, finding even the cats still asleep, it didn’t stop him from lounging a bit longer.

"Just... just a bit, and you can’t ask me to feed you again..."

Speaking made Xiya’s face blaze redder, and Lynn gently laid her down again.

Ten minutes later...

Xiya, in disarray, pushed Lynn away and bolted out with a red face.

Because outside, Vivian’s voice was already calling Gugi for the first breakfast.

Lynn clicked his tongue with unsatisfied desire but obediently got up to dress and wash up.

After all, the education of Vivian and the children was no small matter, and as a husband and father, he couldn’t be negligent.

Before long, the family hastily ate some snacks and set off with Catherine.

Sitting in the luxurious carriage heading to the Celestial Destiny Magic and Martial Arts Academy, Lynn’s family was full of anticipation, and even Lynn was no exception.

Even though before crossing over, he had been Catherine’s student and completed job changes under her, as a player, he didn’t attend classes every day at the Academy. The job change was an instant upon task completion, and then had nothing to do with Catherine.

However, Lynn became the exception; he vowed to turn his verbal wife into a true wife, thus necessitating deep involvement in all aspects of her life.
