Chapter 983: Truly Had a Lot of Talents
Ning Shu saw that Xuan Hongyu was sincerely interested in this child. If she said anything else, Xuan Hongyu would probably kill her.
As for what Xuan Hongyu said about wanting to be this child’s father, Ning Shu inwardly spat in contempt.
She suddenly started feeling pity for the child. He had unfortunately ended up attracting Xuan Hongyu’s attention.
He truly had an unfortunate fate. In the past, he almost died, and now he had fallen into Xuan Hongyu’s hands again.
“Eleven, this prince is hungry.” Xuan Hongyu saw that Ning Shu was still standing there without moving, so he added, “This prince’s son is also hungry.”
The fudge? You were the one that wanted to raise the child, so you go cook!
Ning Shu left the stone room and killed the rabbits. However, when she recalled about the child, she cut the rabbit meat into small pieces and mixed it with rice to make meat porridge.
Death soldiers truly had a lot of talents. Not only did they need to know how to kill people, they also needed to know how to cook. They had to fulfill all of their master’s requests no matter what it was.
The kitchen was filled with smoke. Due to the fact that they were in a cave, the smoke didn’t really disperse. Ning Shu felt like she was about to suffocate, but she still managed to finish cooking the rice. Afterwards, she sprinkled some salt and counted it as done.
Xuan Hongyu looked at the thin porridge. The rabbit meat inside was completely white. It didn’t look appetizing at all. “Eleven, you want this prince to eat this?”
It was already really good to have something to eat, alright? Ning Shu inwardly rolled her eyes, but she put on an ashamed expression as she said, “This subordinate only knows how to cook this.” If he didn’t want to eat it, he could just starve.
Although Xuan Hongyu didn’t like it, the child that had been crouched on the stone bed was attracted by the smell. He crawled over to look at the thing in the bowl.
“Oh, you like eating this?” Xuan Hongyu fed the child a spoonful. However, this porridge had just come out of the pot and was very hot. It instantly seared the child’s lips red. The child started crying in pain.
Ning Shu immediately fed the child some cold water. When she checked, she saw that the inside of the child’s mouth was completely red from the burn. She wasn’t sure if there would be blisters or not.
“This… This prince didn’t do that on purpose,” said Xuan Hongyu. “This prince didn’t know it would be that hot. When you carried it over, you should’ve checked the heat beforehand.”
The f*ck? Shouldn’t you at least blow a little and see how hot it was before eating? And he even said that he wanted to be this kid’s dad? It seemed like it would be a miracle if the child even survived.
Ning Shu gave Xuan Hongyu a polite smile. Xuan Hongyu clasped his hands behind his back and looked away, avoiding eye contact.
Ning Shu picked up the bowl and lifted the spoon. She blew on the rice until it cooled before bringing it to the child’s mouth. The child really liked eating it and ate a full two bowls. For a child his size, it was quite a lot.
“Not bad of an appetite,” said Xuan Hongyu. “Oh right, this child should have a name. What would be good?”
Xuan Hongyu started mulling over the matter of the child’s name. Ning Shu paid no attention to him and started eating some of the porridge. However, this seriously didn’t taste good. The rabbit meat tasted very fishy. She was only able to bring herself to eat a couple bites.
Xuan Hongyu considered names for a long time, then finally came up with a name: Xuan Miexiao.
Xuan Miexiao!?
This ‘xiao’ wouldn’t be the one that she was thinking of, right?
Was it really alright to give a child a name like this?
#comment: Mie as in exterminate and Xiao as in the fifth prince’s name Xiaotian.
