The goddesses also joined us for our dinner since I felt bad for them. Iris helped me by temporarily Ending their libido so they were quite well behaved throughout the meal time.
The only problem was that they kept excessively praising everything I made like it was the greatest thing in existence.
I did ask Iris to help me deal with that too but surprisingly, she claimed that 'this was how it should be' and just nodded at them.
At least she did say that if I really wanted them to stop, she could do it but I decided not to push the matter.
But well… The sight of them crying while stuffing their mouths full of my cooking was a little awkward to be honest… But I suppose that awkwardness was mitigated slightly by the fact that Long Er was also bawling her eyes out beside them as well.
"Waahhh… This is so good… This is the best food I've ever eaten in my life… Even my family has never made something like this!"
"Sniff, sniff… Daddy's cooking… I can't believe I get to eat Daddy's cooking…"
"It's heavenly… Waaaa~ I can never go back to normal after this…"
"It's shoooo goooood…. Sniff…"
"Daddy… Daddy's food…. Waaahhh It's too delicious!! Pwease Mwarry meee!"
I'm just going to ignore all of that and continue feeding my little Cai Hong over here.
"Nom~ Nom~ Papa's meat is tasty!"
I patted her head, "Ahaha, eat more and Cai Hong can grow up to be a wonderful lady, ok?"
"Yayyy~ Cai Hong will become big and strong like Papa!"
So cute~
Unfortunately, at the rate that the food was being consumed, I don't think there would be any leftovers for me to store after this.
Oh well, it's not like I can't just create more food just by willing them to appear anyway so it's not that big of a loss.
Still, it's nice that there's so many people gathered to eat together as it has been a while since I last ate together with my disciples as well.
That reminds me… Manami and Kiyomi have yet to seek me out after that one session… Were they no longer in heat? Or were they occupied with something else?
Hmm… I guess they might have placed their full concentration in their training? Though I suspect they might be resorting to their usual dual cultivation methods to satisfy each other.
Now I'm wondering how I'll need to deal with them when the battle royale starts…
While I was distracted with thinking about my disciples, the food on the table quickly disappeared.
The goddesses and Long Er started crying even louder.
"Uuuu… There's no more… What even is life anymore…"
"Waaahhh!! Daddy's cooking! I should have kept some for storing instead of eating everything!"
"I would give up my Divinity to taste it again!"
"Daddyyyyyyy!!"
I coughed, "I still have some cookies… I can give them to you if you help me clean up."
Faster than I could blink, the table that was full of dirty dishes was instantly cleaned and every single piece of cutlery and plates were spotless.
'Ara? Was that even necessary, Master? Isn't everything here created by you?'
It's just to distract them and calm them down.
'Ufufufu~ I see, I see~ Would Master be going to the baths after this?'
Hmm? I suppose I would be. Why?
'If I may be so bold, could I peek on Master bathing from afar?'
… What?
'Ufufu~ I'm sure these little Goddesses would want to spend some time with Master. I can take care of little Cai Hong in the meantime~'
You're basically throwing me to the lions huh… Didn't you End their libido?
'Ara, ara? As much as I don't care about them, I also do not wish to be despised as well, Master~'
Hmm… I suppose that makes sense, could I leave Cai Hong to you then?
'Ufufufu~ Leave it to me~'
Well this is surprising, Iris really seems to have grown a lot.
Still… She really has a soft spot for the goddesses huh? Guess I should prepare my pelvis then…

"Mama… Why no bath with Papa?"
I looked down at the little dragon that was looking up at me.
The courtyard these little pieces of moving flesh had granted Master to use was now devoid of any life aside from myself and the little dragon.
Master had already brought the others to the baths and I'm pretty sure He was busy giving them the most memorable time of their existence right now.
"Fufu~ You're really dedicated to this act I see. If you must know, there's a few people who do not know their place coming to disturb Master."
Cai Hong tilted her head, "Those bad and yummy people?"
"Ufufufu~ That's right~ They should be coming right about now."
On cue, a huge group of people appeared above the courtyard and several large stones crashed into the ground around the courtyard in a rather specific formation.
The stones then lit up and formed a barrier around the courtyard, trapping myself and Cai Hong inside with the people who had just appeared.
The moving sack of flesh that called himself the patriarch flew forward and frowned at me.
"You… Where are the others?"
I smiled at him, "Ara? Everyone was feeling a bit unwell after eating the food you prepared so they are in the bathroom now~"
I could see that he panicked slightly by the sound of his heartbeat quickening but he managed to hide it from showing on his face.
"What are you talking about?"
I giggled, "Ufufu~ You've already used those little stones to trap us, you can drop the useless act, little toy~"
Fufufu~ I would say that he had a rather good attempt since the food itself had no problems, they just arranged it to make a formation to affect those that ate it.
He responded by raising his hand, prompting several of the people around him to start chanting.
The rocks they brought with them started to glow red and a circle with silly drawings appeared all around us.
But before it could do anything, the light show shattered into pieces and several sacks of flesh spat out blood before falling towards the ground in pain.
The biggest idiot here looked at his fallen sacks of flesh, "What… What's going on?!"
"Ara? They were just punished for their little attempts, that's all~" I answered.
He glared at me, "How did you know about this?"
"Ufufufu~ You gave this courtyard that had a hidden weakening trap to us, you brought us to the dungeon and walked in a specific pattern that would activate a trap that would slowly poison a Divine, you gave us food arranged in a formation that would weaken us when consumed, then you brought these little rocks to entrap and further weaken us, did I miss anything so far?"
He goggled at me, "H… How?"
"Ara? It's simple, really~ You've let your own hubris blind you so much that you think you're a step ahead of us where you're always two steps behind~ Did you really think there's anything you do that we can't deal with? Ufufufu~ Mortals are so interesting~"
Very interesting indeed, I get to watch them struggle so futilely it's entertaining~
