Chapter 73 - The Demon Sovereign's Fat-Loss Meal Plan

“Demon Sovereign, This Empress did a search online and heard there's something called a 'fat-loss meal.' It's supposed to have a low calorie content, so even if you accidentally eat too much, you won't gain weight.”

“This Empress wants to eat only this from now on!”

The next day, Long Yue suddenly found Lin Fan, who was cooking in the kitchen, and spoke to him with a serious expression.

Yesterday, she had accidentally failed to resist temptation and eaten a huge pile of barbecue. Her feelings of guilt and crisis had grown even stronger.

In order not to let the hunger of dieting consume her, she had searched overnight for food that was both satiating and wouldn't cause weight gain.

Unexpectedly, she had actually found it online.

She had read about a 'fat-loss meal' made from a combination of low-calorie foods, where even if you accidentally ate too much, it wouldn't be easy to gain weight.

This was a perfect fit for her desire to both fill her stomach and lose weight.

Starting today, she would strictly control her diet!

“A fat-loss meal, huh…”

Lin Fan looked at the two burners in front of him. One was braising red-braised pork, and the other was cooking two pig's trotters in a pressure cooker. He was momentarily at a loss.

The pig's trotters were almost done, and the red-braised pork was nearly finished braising, but now she was saying she wanted to eat a fat-loss meal…

Making a new meal wasn't out of the question, but the portions of these two dishes were based on her appetite. If she didn't eat them, it would all go to waste.

Last time, he had eaten a whole Musang King durian by himself and had almost thrown up.

This time, with so much red-braised pork plus two large pig's trotters, there was no way he could eat it all himself…

“It smells so good~”

Long Yue's delicate nose twitched. She was instantly drawn in by the aroma of the red-braised pork and pig's trotters simmering in the pots and asked curiously:

“Demon Sovereign, what are you cooking?”

“In the clay pot is red-braised pork, and in the pressure cooker is pig's trotter soup.”

Lin Fan lifted the pot lids, and in an instant, a rich, intense aroma of meat, accompanied by the fragrance of various spices, filled the entire kitchen.

“If you were to ask what the most delicious dishes to eat with rice are, these two would definitely have to be on the list.”

“This red-braised pork has a perfect balance of fat and lean, a rich texture, and a full, meaty flavor. The sauce has absorbed all the fragrance of the spices, and it's absolutely divine poured over rice!”

“And this pig's trotter soup, I've been pressure-cooking it for several hours. The meaty flavor has already infused the broth, and the skin and meat just melt in your mouth.”

Lin Fan raised his head slightly, introducing each dish with a proud expression.

When he was stranded on the Immortal-Demon Continent, this was the taste he missed the most.

“Ooooh!”

Just from listening to Lin Fan's description and smelling the aroma that filled her nostrils, Long Yue was practically drooling. She asked, full of anticipation:

“Th-then... do these two count as fat-loss meals?”

“Uh…”

Lin Fan was at a loss for words, but seeing the look of full anticipation in her eyes, his own gaze firmed up, and he nodded with great certainty.

“That's right! They're both for fat loss!”

“This Sovereign knew you were going on a diet, Empress, so I specially made this fat-loss meal plan for you today!”

“Oh! That's wonderful!”

Hearing this, Long Yue was overjoyed and quickly began to set the table with bowls and chopsticks.

She never thought the Demon Sovereign would be so considerate. She had only just told him she wanted to eat a fat-loss meal, and he had already prepared it for her in advance.

And that fat-loss meal smelled absolutely delicious!

Soon, the red-braised pork and pig's trotters were served, and the rich, meaty aroma instantly filled the entire house.

Long Yue swallowed hard and eagerly picked up a piece of red-braised pork. But when she saw the thick layer of fat on it, she couldn't help but frown again.

“Demon Sovereign, is this really a fat-loss meal? Why does it seem like it's all fat?”

“…”

Lin Fan was silent for a moment, then explained with a perfectly straight face:

“Don't worry, Empress. Although this is fatty meat, BUT! During the braising process, all that fat and calories have already dissipated!”

“This remaining essence is the so-called low-calorie, fat-loss meal!”

“I also checked when I bought the meat. This meat has no calorie label. No label means zero calories!”

“Empress, think about it. All those snacks you buy, don't the packages all have calorie labels? But this meat doesn't!”

“What does that prove? It proves that this is zero-calorie meat! So you can eat it without any worries!”

“So that's how it is!”

Long Yue had a flash of realization and, no longer hesitating, eagerly put the red-braised pork into her mouth.

“Mmm~ Delicious~”

The red-braised pork was braised until it was tender and flavorful. With one bite, besides the full meaty flavor, the taste of various spices blossomed in her mouth. The flavor was incredibly rich and delicious, the textures of the fat and lean were distinct, and it was even more delicious and satisfying than the barbecue!

After tasting the red-braised pork, she reached out, picked up a whole pig's trotter, and took a large bite.

Having been pressure-cooked for a long time, the pig's trotter was even more tender and falling off the bone, melting in her mouth. Like drinking water, she sucked the meat and skin into her mouth with a single slurp.

“This is delicious too~!”

A bite of red-braised pork, a bite of pig's trotter, Long Yue's pretty face was full of happiness and enjoyment.

So fat-loss meals can also be this delicious and satisfying…

It's just that for some reason, with every bite, she felt a strange sense of guilt welling up in her heart…

Before she had time to think too much, Lin Fan picked up a spoon, ladled some of the red-braised pork sauce, and poured it over her rice.

The rice absorbed the sauce, and every single grain became coated with the meaty fragrance.

Long Yue didn't think anymore. She picked up her chopsticks, lifted her bowl, and began to shovel down the rice with large mouthfuls, eating with great delight.

After nearly three months of living together, she had become more and more casual and carefree in front of Lin Fan, no longer caring at all about her image as an Empress.

In the past, out of consideration for her noble image as the Empress of the Immortal Realm, she would eat in a more reserved and ladylike manner when outside. But now at home, she had completely let herself go.

Soon, after wolfing down three large bowls of rice in one go and once again finishing a 'sinful' meal, she sat down on the sofa contentedly to rest.

After cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Fan returned to the living room, casually took out some recently bought snacks from the snack rack, and handed a chocolate stick to her.

“Want a chocolate-filled stick?”

“Chocolate? This Empress remembers this thing is supposed to be high in calories, right?”

Looking at the chocolate stick in front of her, Long Yue hesitated.

I just finished a huge meal, and now I'm eating snacks again. That's probably not a good idea…

“Don't worry. The ingredients list on this one doesn't say how many calories it has either. It's also zero-calorie.”

Lin Fan reassured her, moving the chocolate stick in his hand a little closer.

The outer packaging with the ingredients and energy information had long since been conveniently thrown away by him. The individual, loose chocolate sticks inside naturally had no ingredients list or energy information to look at…

“So there are zero-calorie chocolate sticks too? Then This Empress will have to buy more of these snacks in the future.”

Without the slightest suspicion, Long Yue reached out, took the chocolate stick, and began to enjoy it with peace of mind.

She suddenly felt that dieting wasn't so hard after all. Even when you're on a diet, there are still quite a lot of delicious things you can eat…
