If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

Pei Yuening remained silent for three seconds, completely dumbfounded.

The flower fairy finally swallowed the piece of cake in her mouth, licked the crumbs off her hands, and let out a small burp.

Then she raised her head and looked at Pei Yuening with her bright, jewel-like eyes.

Then, with all her might, she broke free from Pei Yuening's fingers and pounced on his face with a "smack".

A pale golden light shone from where they were touching, spreading outwards like ripples, then quickly receded and disappeared between Pei Yuening's forehead.

Pei Yuening felt a faint, warm sensation spread from her forehead to her whole body, and then disappeared in her chest.

A faint consciousness took root in his mind, like a fresh sprout just breaking through the soil.

Then a clear voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Hey! I'm telling you, this stuff is really delicious!"

The flower fairy flew up and landed in front of Pei Yuening.

Pei Yuening was startled: "Holy crap, who's talking?!"

He subconsciously looked around.

The kitchen was empty except for him and the flower fairy.

"Me? Who else could it be?" The flower fairy patted her small chest. "Your new familiar, you're already going back on your word after just signing the contract?"

"contract?"

Pei Yuening was stunned for a moment. Was it that inexplicable feeling from earlier?

"You mean... that last moment was part of the contract?"

"Otherwise what?" The flower fairy flew right in front of his face. "Do you think I'm just playing a game of petting? I'm a noble, healing flower fairy, not some random pet!"

Pei Yuening paused for two seconds: "Uh, you mean you, this noble and healing flower fairy, are now my familiar?"

"Otherwise what?" the flower fairy repeated matter-of-factly, "You'd better be prepared, you'll have to cook me delicious food every day from now on!"

Pei Yuening cried out in fright, "Stop, stop, wait a minute! You didn't do this for just one bite of cake, did you???"

"Yeah," the flower fairy nodded, "You're a complete useless weakling, you don't even have a trace of magic power around you, what would I want from you? Your looks, you think?"

Pei Yuening: "Oh, I am indeed quite good-looking."

Flower Fairy: "..."

6.

She seemed surprised that someone could be so good-looking and self-aware, and was slightly speechless.

"3, 2, 1, receive," she raised her small hand to her lips and cleared her throat, "Alright, now it's your first task as the master."

"Give me a name, okay?"

"Well……"

Pei Yuening stared at the tiny creature, about the size of a palm, glowing with a pale golden light, and pondered for three seconds.

"What the hell are you?"

"Flower fairy, didn't I just say that?"

"Oh, you little elf..." Pei Yuening said, resting her chin on her hand, "Are you dressed so gaudyly? Should I call you Cuihua?"

Flower Fairy: "?"

"……dislike?"

"Listen to this, is it nice?! Cuihua?? It sounds like a name given to a donkey!"

Pei Yuening's lips twitched.

That seems to be true.

"Then you tell me, what do you want to be called?"

"You're the master, you get up!"

"If it's up to me, I'll name him Pei Dayong, or Gou Dan."

Flower Fairy: "..."

She pinched her philtrum to calm herself for a while, then sat on the cake and thought for a moment.

Suddenly, an idea struck her: "How about you call me Gao Gao?"

Pei Yuening was taken aback: "Gao Gao?"

"Yes! Gao Gao!"

The flower fairy, now called Gao Gao, nodded in satisfaction, flapped her wings twice, and flew back to Pei Yuening: "This is it! It sounds nice and is easy to remember! Plus, it tells you exactly what I like to eat!"

Pei Yuening couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, then it'll be Gao Gao."

Gao Gao happily twirled twice in the air, showering Pei Yuening with fluorescent powder all over his head and face.

"It's a deal then!"

She flew onto his shoulder and sat down, her short legs swinging back and forth: "From now on, you have to cook delicious food for me every day! Every morning! Every noon! Every night! And afternoon tea! And midnight snacks!"

Pei Yuening: "...What do you take me for? Your personal chef?"

"You're my master," Gao Gao declared matter-of-factly. "Isn't a master supposed to serve their familiar?"

"Rebel against the Heavenly Gang!!"

Pei Yuening yelled, then accepted reality.

Forget it.

Anyway, he was going to cook anyway, so having another mouth to feed doesn't make much difference.

Instead of worrying about that, we should think about more practical issues.

For example, how should we give this cake, which has been dented by Gao Gao, to Luo Ren?

Pei Yuening sighed and resignedly cut off the missing piece.

Then, he simply divided the cake into equal triangles and decorated each one with a mint leaf.

The broken piece was, of course, given to Gao Gao to eat.

Oh, right, Gao Gao!

Pei Yuening's gaze quietly fell on the little elf on the table who had stuffed its entire head into the cake.

Then, he grinned.

……

Duke Luo's Mansion.

The banquet had ended, and the vast manor gradually returned to calm.

The aftermath was left to the housekeeper and Ollie, while Luo Ren returned to his study early on.

He sat at his desk, several documents awaiting his signature spread out in front of him, a quill pen resting beside the ink bottle.

The candlelight illuminated the study brightly and warmly, while the fire in the fireplace burned, occasionally crackling softly.

Luo Ren picked up a quill pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the first word on the first document.

The barrier was activated the next second.

Luo Ren's pen stopped.

He frowned and looked up at the direction outside the window.

The fact that the barrier didn't sound an alarm means that what entered wasn't a threat.

But anything that can pass through an SSS-level barrier cannot be ordinary.

He put down his pen, just about to call someone—

"Clang, clang, clang."

Someone knocked on the window.

Luo Ren paused for a moment, stood up, walked to the window, and pulled back the heavy velvet curtains.

Outside the window, a palm-sized luminous object was carrying an exquisite food box, hovering outside his window.

The food box was three times the size of its body, and it was clearly struggling to carry it. Its wings were flapping loudly, and fluorescent powder was scattered everywhere.

Seeing Luo Ren pull back the curtains, it kicked the window twice with its feet.

Luo Ren recognized it instantly.

Flower Fairy.

A top-tier healing familiar, a treasure of the empire.

There are no more than ten registered flower fairies on the entire continent, and each one is a lifelong partner of a healing-type grand magician.

He had never seen this one before, but the characteristics of a flower fairy were too obvious to be mistaken.

Without hesitation, Luo Ren pushed open the window.

The night breeze carried the scent of roses from the garden, and the flower fairy, with its last ounce of strength, gave a final, powerful flick: "Boom!"

Luo Ren: ?

The food box was flung through the air, tumbling once before landing steadily on Luo Ren's desk.

The flower fairy plopped down on the food box lid, panting heavily, her wings drooping, looking as tired as a dog just pulled out of the water.

She braced herself on her knees, acting all high and mighty, as if she wanted to have a cigarette in her mouth.

Then, she raised her chin and said succinctly, "Eat."

Luo Ren: "..."
