Beta, Gamma, Milia, and Xi Nuo are all eighteen years old now.
"A beautiful day starts with morning exercises!"
Just now, Xi Nuo completed an entire set of calisthenics to exercise his body.
Xi Nuo stretched languidly.
At this moment, Beta was making breakfast.
Beta hummed a tune, happily cooking in the kitchen.
"Phantom Lord has worked so hard, I must make him extra breakfast!"
Beta gathered her magic into her hands, making herself work as if she were three people.
Ten minutes later, Xi Nuo saw ten different breakfasts on the dining table: common milk bread and hamburgers, soy milk and fried dough sticks, steamed soup dumplings and wontons, pan-fried buns, steamed dumplings, Lanzhou pulled noodles, roujiamo, jianbing guozi, and tofu pudding.
The recipes for all these foods were taught to Beta by Xi Nuo, and Beta made all of them at once.
Milia, now dressed in her maid outfit, walked out and saw the table full of food.
"I am so sorry, Lord Xi Nuo, I woke up late!"
Milia did not actually wake up late; she usually woke up at this time.
Xi Nuo would wake up at the same time as Milia every day, then go for a morning run, take a shower, and then eat breakfast, which was just enough time for Milia to make breakfast.
Xi Nuo woke up early to fulfill his promise to Beta.
The morning run was also replaced with calisthenics, or simply, morning exercises.
"No need to apologize, today's breakfast was made by Beta. Beta, stop making more, come sit down and eat with us!"
"Okay, Phantom Lord!"
Beta sat directly next to Xi Nuo.
"Phantom Lord, let me feed you!"
Beta picked up a steamed dumpling, but just as she was about to hand it to Xi Nuo, her chopsticks accidentally slipped, and the steamed dumpling fell down, landing exactly on... "the floor."
"Phantom Lord, I'm sorry! I'll pick up another one!"
Xi Nuo sensed that Beta was doing it on purpose! Xi Nuo used his chopsticks to pick up the dumpling from "the floor" and put it directly into his mouth.
"This dumpling is very delicious, it's like eating..."
Beta's small face flushed slightly, and she shyly lowered her head.
"Alright, stop playing around, let's eat properly!"
Xi Nuo picked up Beta and placed her on the seat next to him.
The innocent Milia was a bit flustered.
"Lord Xi Nuo, Lord Beta shouldn't be able to eat that, right?" Milia asked.
"Theoretically, she shouldn't, but that was a metaphor! In a sense, it's also Beta eating me!"
Milia thought for a while but still couldn't figure out what 'eating Beta' was a metaphor for, or what 'Beta eating Lord Xi Nuo' meant.
"Don't think about it, you'll understand when you grow up!" Xi Nuo patted Milia's head.
Milia's actual age is older than both Beta and Xi Nuo, but she is petite and looks adorable. However, she is already an adult.
Because she was in a state of Demon Possession for a long time, her body did not grow during that period.
Milia experienced Demon Possession five years ago when she was fifteen, so her actual age is now twenty.
But those five years were essentially like being in prison, lived in a daze.
Beta, on the other hand, was already "quite developed" at a young age, and her height was not short; she was as tall as Xi Nuo. She looked quite mature.
After breakfast, Beta hoped Xi Nuo could guide her in combat.
Xi Nuo carefully guided Beta, which helped improve her strength.
At this moment, Beta received a summons from Alpha.
"Phantom Lord, Alpha is looking for me, I'll be leaving now!"
"Wait, take this!"
Xi Nuo handed Beta a necklace.
"Is this... a token of love?"
"You could say that!"
"Phantom Lord, I * you!"
Beta directly kissed Xi Nuo on the mouth.
At this moment, Beta remembered she had important business.
"Phantom Lord, Alpha called me, I'm leaving now! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Beta!"
Beta left.
Xi Nuo found an uninhabited area by himself to train.
This world might connect to the Demon Realm at any time, so Xi Nuo had to work hard to become stronger!
