The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Extra 1 - Ren Loo's new ordinary life (1).

Ren Loo was determined to lead an ordinary and peaceful life as a devoted mother and wife. The Empress was sure that this was just another of her daughter's passing wishes and was inwardly grateful that she had married someone as understanding as An Shu, who would accept her no matter how she behaved.

However, as incredible as it may seem, this new dragon craze was lasting for a long time. Ren Loo would get up very early, before dawn, and stretch out in the garden. She dragged her husband along, who despite being an ice snake, was still a little numb from the morning cold. Interestingly, yao snakes, whether of any kind, needed a bit of heat to awaken and An Shu was no exception. He could fully withstand cold when using his powers, but not excess heat or fire either.

An Shu soon looked for the first ray of sunlight to warm himself and try to keep up with his wife. So they would all have breakfast together, the family table was now always full and lively first thing in the morning. Qiang Ling concluded that such a peaceful and happy time in her life had finally come that she didn't need anything else.

After they ate breakfast, it was Ren Shyuo's turn to suffer at his mother's hands. He had been learning swordsmanship poorly, and if it weren't for An Shu's help, he would have acquired a pitiful posture. But after a month of training with his mother, he began to understand her methodology better and by putting his stepfather's teachings into practice, he was already at a much higher level than before.

This would likely be a new Red Tide replacement in the future.
After his swordsmanship lessons, Ren Loo was idle. And that was when she began to encounter her first difficulties. She miserably lost the go matches against her mother, which made her realize that she was a terrible strategist. As for the role of housewife, the servants already cleaned and took care of all the household chores.

Ren Loo then decided to do self-care sessions, taking a mud bath (Ren Loo discovered the benefits of swamp mud in the next extra, you guys will have to wait 😅). In fact, she soon saw results and her skin was much softer. But it was tedious to do it alone, so she also arranged for her mother to attend the baths.

Qiang Ling was vain and the two could have a beauty session together, something they had never done in their lives. Pampering and spending time with mom, but one of the options on Ren Loo's list that was marked as completed perfectly. But she couldn't do that every day. The dragon got tired quickly of the activities.

She then tried gardening with Su Ning but almost killed his flowers. She couldn't do that at all! Ren Loo began to worry about what else she could put on her housewife's to-do list, but unexpected news startled her. An Shu's birthday was approaching!

What would she give him? What would she do? A party? What did An Shu like? Ren Loo panicked, there were only a few days left until the date and she hadn't planned anything at all!
"Why not give him pasta for his birthday?" Ren Shyuo suggested. Ren Loo smiled triumphantly.

"That's a good idea! I'll make the noodles myself with the best and fanciest ingredients I can find!"
Ren Shyuo shook his head. Why did her mother have to complicate everything?? All you had to do was ask someone in the kitchen to help you make it and everything would be fine!

This would certainly have some disastrous results, especially since her mother DIDN'T know how to cook and never set foot in the kitchen except to steal osmanthus cakes. But once Ren Loo got her head around something, she dove in full. This time, even the Empress went to see this news. Ren Loo was confident in his cooking skills and gathered an extravagant array of ingredients.

The Empress assessed the full table and picked up a curiously greenish egg.
"How do you get these things so fast?"
"Some I had already brought from recent trips, but these eggs are fresh! Huang Jia fulfilled my request, they are from a species of northern geese. They say they are an aphrodisiac, hehe."
"Now you're going to tell me that your relationship is going through a lull. Loo-er, you broke the bed last time!"

"Of course we're not experiencing any lull, I just think a little excess doesn't hurt." The dragon picked up a large cabbage and prepared to chop it finely. At least on the cutting board the dragon was guaranteed. The Empress laughed, it had been a long time since she cooked, so she also started cutting the vegetables together with her daughter, taking the opportunity to snack on the carrots.

The pork slices were so thin that you could see through them, even so, a large amount was cut.
"Isn't it too much food?"
"Only if it's for Dr. Su. That one eats like a bird."
They both laughed. Even so, it was still mLots of food, it would be enough to feed everyone without any difficulties.

"Are you going for crab too?"
"Of course! The taste is so nice! I personally fetched these from the frozen sea yesterday."
The Empress gave up trying to figure out where so many ingredients came from and Ren Loo began preparing the noodle dough.
"Does it have too much salt?" She tested it, tasting the recipe. "Ugh! I put too much!" Ren Loo threw the dough away and started all over again.

Empress "...................." I'm glad there's some flour left!
Ren Loo couldn't get the dough right, either there was too much or too little flour, too much or too little salt, she couldn't make the noodles long, they ended up breaking. She wanted to do it as long as possible so that her husband would have a long life.

By the end of the afternoon she had achieved a satisfactory mass, but she was already all sweaty. The important thing was that the ingredients were cut and pre-cooked. All that was left to do was cook them the next day.
The Empress nodded her head in approval.
"You've grown a lot!" She smiled affectionately, giving Ren Loo a hug.

This mother was very proud of her daughter, except for the wasted dough.
Ren Loo wiped her sweat and wiped the flour off his face.
"Thanks for your help, mom. Now I'm going to take a nice shower and look beautiful for my husband." He won't even suspect the surprise, she thought happily, almost floating out of the kitchen, left in total chaos.

Author's Note

After Ren Loo went to take a shower, at least ten servants had to put the kitchen in order.
