CHAPTER 557: CHAPTER 290: THE KITCHEN IS FOR COOKING, NOT KISSING

Lureya planned to replicate the last time she brought Shami into the Elf Forest operation, watching Shami lick the spot she had licked herself, a sense of pride welled up in her.

The Demon King’s affinity with elves +1

"I got it."

Shami watched the flat golden-haired elf fly towards the Elf Forest.

He stayed alone in the small town, continuing to gather information.

Indeed, the Elf Race is very attractive, whether it’s male or female elves, with their prominent features of golden hair and pointed ears, they always stand out in the crowd.

Several elf maidens passed by, though their appearances were quite good, they still fell short for Shami, who was accustomed to the flat golden-haired elf.

Compared to the occasionally friendly glances from the female elves, the male elves looked at Shami with a vigilant expression, as if they had encountered a potential strong rival.

This indirectly indicated that the Demon King’s looks were also very impressive, to be noticed by the flat golden-haired elf.

It was around night time.

Shami felt his chest heat up and gradually begin to glow, he quickly found a place with no one around.

He lifted his clothes, and a glowing Spirit Summoning Magic Array appeared on his chest.

Lureya was summoning him.

Magic Power instinctively resisted this force, Shami retracted the Magic Power that was spontaneously surging forth.

As the Spirit Summoning Magic Array grew brighter, in the next moment, a Spirit Pattern Array appeared simultaneously above his head and beneath his feet, enveloping Shami, and he disappeared from where he stood.

——

The Demon King’s second journey to the Elf Forest begins.

"How is it, no missing arms or legs, right, Shami?"

The voice of the elf maiden came through as Shami opened his eyes, immediately seeing the elf maiden examining him from all sides.

This was the elf maiden’s bedroom, since he had been here once before, Shami was not unfamiliar with it.

He successfully bypassed the protective laws of the Elf Forest through Lureya’s spirit summoning to enter the Elf Forest.

In this aspect, becoming a spirit for the elf maiden was a very nice thing.

The refreshing fragrance in the air, the cozy room atmosphere, the furniture set with dolls and fitness rings, all silently spoke that the elf maiden was just an ordinary girl in her daily life.

"It’s fine. Of course, everything’s fine there too."

Shami responded to the elf maiden’s concern, lifting her worried little face that was gazing at his groin.

"No time to lose, let’s head to the Wanling Mountain Range."

"Wait a minute."

The elf maiden held onto Shami, cautiously pulling back half of the curtain.

The last few strands of orange-red sunset floated above the Elf Forest, ready to disappear at any moment, the forest outside was already engulfed in darkness, countless elf lamps like fireflies started to light up one after another.

"It’s already night. It’s not safe to head to the Wanling Mountain Range at night, let’s rest for the night and go tomorrow."

The elf maiden closed the curtains.

It was rare to have alone time with Shami, of course, she had to find a way to extend it.

Not familiar with the place, Shami hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Then let me host you tonight~"

The elf maiden lifted her little feet, clapped her hands joyfully in front of her chest, and fluttered butterfly-like steps out of the room.

"Feel free to look around, I’ll go brew some tea~"

Lureya headed to the living room, leaving Shami alone in the second-floor bedroom.

Shami’s gaze immediately locked onto the flat golden-haired elf’s bed bottom.

An elf with nothing but fluff in its head, there must be some remarkable things under the bed. He wanted to see how the fluff-brained elf was formed.

"Oh la la la~ I forgot there’s no food at home, I can only let Shami cook~ there’s absolutely nothing under the bed~"

At that moment, the elf maiden pushed open the door with a stiff smile, quickly pulling up Shami, who was crouched down, ready to rummage under the bed, and swiftly shuffled him out of the bedroom.

"You’re totally giving yourself away, Lureya! There must be something 180+ under the bed! Asking me to cook is now turning into me hosting you!"

Downstairs.

In the living room.

"Shami, is the meal ready? I’m so hungry."

"Lureya, are you an idiot? You’ve lived 80 years and your kitchen doesn’t even have proper cooking tools!"

"I said, elves are raised in special institutions since childhood, and have always lived in schools, so I naturally didn’t have time to come here."

The elf maiden rested her arm on the back of the sofa, with her right leg pressing on her left leg, she sat diagonally on one side of the sofa.

"You don’t come back even during vacations?"

"I usually go back to my parents’ place, this small villa was bought for myself with the prize money after participating in various beauty contests."

For the first time, the elf maiden shared her past with someone else, feeling quite proud.

"You probably didn’t expect that. There are many trophies in the storeroom too. Actually, my parents also bought me a house, but that one’s too close to the city center, young elves prefer choosing a quiet place to live..."

"Can you spare me a house?"

"Have you been thinking about this the whole time? Hey! I was sharing stories from my childhood!"

The chatter stopped, leaving only the small sounds of Shami cooking.

The elf maiden sat on the sofa, her little mouth closed, watching Shami cooking in the open kitchen.

On the bar between the living room and the kitchen, steam rose from the cups nestled together, slowly disappearing in Lureya’s gaze as she watched Shami.

The Elf Forest had a unique charm at night, countless warm lights floated above the Elf Forest, spilling through the windows.

Watching Shami’s back, Lureya appeared a bit dazed.

She had never thought she would one day sit so lazily and naturally on a sofa, watching a boy cook for her.

The air was interwoven with her and Shami’s scents, and the whole house was no longer empty and cold because the two of them were together. The temperature around and her own body grew warmer with Shami’s presence.

If this moment could freeze in time, it would be one of the most beautiful scenes in the elf maiden’s life.

The elf maiden watched Shami in a daze, her little mouth involuntarily slightly open.

"Shami, if one day the demon race is gone, and everyone on the continent is hunting you down, come here with me. I will protect you."

If here isn’t safe, then we’ll escape together, anywhere will do.

The elf maiden’s gentle voice drifted over.

This coincided perfectly with Shami, who was also thinking about the demon race.

——

The Elf Forest and the Human World had always maintained a non-aggression relationship, only allowing elves into the Elf Forest.

No one could have imagined that the Demon King would hide in the Elf Forest.

Shami speculated, already planning an escape route.

If it became necessary, he would have Jello inherit the Demon King’s position while he sneaked into the Elf Forest himself.

The leader, who didn’t catch the deep feelings of the elf maiden, immediately agreed.

"Sure. My nanny skills are top-notch. But with Lina around, I don’t think that’ll happen."

"You’re such an idiot, why bring up Lina now and ruin the mood."

The elf maiden lay down on the sofa with some dissatisfaction, and her little feet kicked the air in annoyance.

"Dinner’s almost ready."

"Okay~"

The elf maiden looked at the candy dish on the coffee table and turned to Shami.

"Shami, want some candy?"

"No. It’s almost dinner."

"Have one. Or else you’ll be sleeping at the door tonight."

"Fine."

"What flavor do you want?"

"...Anything’s fine. The flavor you like."

Shami was preparing the last dish.

The elf maiden got up from the sofa and quickly found a piece of candy to pop into her mouth, walked barefoot across the clean floor into the kitchen.

The next moment, Shami saw the elf maiden emerge from below.

The elf maiden slowly got up, nestled between Shami’s arms, giggling as she looked at him.

Shami leaned back slightly.

"Are you sure you want to try the flavor I like?"

The elf maiden raised her enchanting little face slightly, blocking Shami’s view of the cooking.

"Uh, more or less... An elf’s taste can’t be too strange... right..."

"Then you mustn’t forget."

The elf maiden stood on her tiptoes, cupping Shami’s cheeks, and pressed her pink lips to his.

Her tongue gently transferred the moist candy from her mouth to his.

A peck.

The elf maiden’s crimson eyes watched a slightly dazed Shami.

"Don’t mind me, just keep cooking."

The elf maiden hugged Shami tightly again, attempting to melt the candy together with him.

How could he not mind, Shami couldn’t see the stove in front of him, his eyes were full of the elf maiden’s flawless little face, and those beautiful golden eyelashes that fluttered mesmerizingly.

Amidst the candy’s sweet aroma, he gradually wrapped his arms around the elf maiden’s waist.

By the time the candy completely melted.

The dishes on the table had gone cold.

The dish on the stove was burned.
