Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 10 - He's Just a Mortal

"Let me find you something yummy." Ning Yechen rubbed Luo Hongye's

little head dotingly and walked up to some rattans.

On the rattan hung grapes that glistened like crystals.

Every grape was the size of a child's hand. Its flesh was translucent

and visible.

"Is... isn't this crystal grape? So many of them..." Luo Ruying looked

at the large area of crystal grapes growing luxuriantly in amazement.

Crystal grapes were rather common in the Heavenly Realm and were often

consumed as snacks. The juicy flesh contained lots of spiritual energy

and could help people regain spiritual energy.

But crystal grapes should be very precious and rare in the Mortal Realm.

This large volume of crystal grapes in the orchard changed her opinion

of the Mortal Realm and heavenly fruits yet again.

With a smile, Ning Yechen casually plucked a crystal grape and brought

it to Luo Hongye's mouth. "Is it good?"

"It's super sweet and yummy." Luo Hongye smiled sweetly while eating the

crystal grape.

Feeling happy, Ning Yechen picked another big bunch of crystal grapes

and fed them to her one by one.

Luo Ruying wanted to stop him. After all, this garden belonged to some

elder.

They had already plucked the seven-colored glass flower. It was

inappropriate for them to take any more heavenly plants or fruits.

But when Luo Ruying saw Luo Hongye eating joyfully in her arms and the

happy father and daughter, the words at the tip of her tongue stopped.

Since there are so many crystal grapes, the elder probably won't mind

if we eat some, Luo Ruying consoled herself.

Just as Ning Yechen was about to eat a crystal grape, Luo Ruying

hurriedly walked over and grabbed his arm with an anxious look. "N-no,

you can't eat this!"

Even though crystal grapes did not contain much spiritual energy, it was

life-threatening for a mortal without cultivation to eat them.

If something went wrong, it might lead to death!

Ning Yechen looked puzzled. Why can't I eat what I planted?

The next second, he recalled that he was a mortal in Luo Ruying's eyes.

In that case, it was true that he could not eat heavenly fruits

casually.

Usually, he ate this fruit by the pound, but now he could not have a

single one.

Otherwise, if she detected anything amiss, she might accidentally learn

of his true identity.

Even though he was a little disappointed, seeing the worried look on Luo

Ruying's face, Ning Yechen felt happy.

In order to play the part better, Ning Yechen asked quizzically, "Why

can't I eat it?"

Luo Hongye looked at Luo Ruying curiously with her big eyes, conveying:

Why can I eat it but not Daddy?

"This is a genuine heavenly fruit. If you eat it, it will spell danger

for you. You can't eat many of the things here! Promise me not to eat

the things here randomly," Luo Ruying warned Ning Yechen in a serious

tone.

She felt surprised that Ning Yechen could survive here for this long.

It was one thing to use heavenly plants to make porridge for breakfast

and waste most of the spiritual energy, but if he consumed the things

here directly, he might have died ages ago!

"Okay then. I'll do as you say. Thanks for telling me, Dear~" Ning

Yechen answered with a smile.

Luo Ruying blushed slightly and turned her head.

She did not understand why she was so worried about him.

It was probably because he was the father of their child.

Hearing what her mother said, the adorable girl holding a crystal grape

in her hand was so terrified that her eyes turned teary. "Mommy, does

this mean I'm in trouble? I won't be greedy anymore. Boohoo..."

"Don't cry. It's okay. As long as you don't eat too much, you'll be

fine." Luo Ruying hurriedly hugged Luo Hongye and patted her gently to

coax her.

"Really?" Luo Hongye looked at Luo Ruying with her watery eyes.

"Really. I won't let anything happen to you!" Luo Ruying comforted

gently.

Luo Hongye was her flesh and blood, so her physique was different.

Naturally, she would be fine.

Luo Hongye finally stopped crying and lay in Luo Ruying's arms calmly.

She asked expectantly, "In that case, can I eat more?"

"Of course! You can eat as much as you want," Ning Yechen said with a

doting smile before Luo Ruying could speak.

He took another crystal grape and fed it to Luo Hongye.

Luo Hongye, who had been so afraid that she cried, beamed in joy a

moment later.

Luo Ruying gave both a helpless and doting smile. Never mind. It's fine

as long as the child is happy.

After Ning Yechen finished feeding Luo Hongye, he plucked another

crystal grape and held it to Luo Ruying's mouth with the same doting

smile.

Luo Ruying blushed slightly before she parted her lips and ate the

crystal grape.

She seemed to have gradually gotten accustomed to being fed by him.

Under Ning Yechen's lead, the three of them ate while strolling around.

They tried all the edible heavenly fruits and plants on the way.

It was basically Ning Yechen feeding Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye.

Before long, the three of them arrived at a large lake.

The water was clear, and the sun was shining on the rippling water.

Every now and then, some silver-feathered fish jumped out of the water.

The moment Luo Ruying walked to the lake, she could sense rich and pure

spiritual energy!

At a glance, she realized that the lake was made of natural spirit

water!

A lake made of natural spirit water was very rare. Even a small sip of

it was enough to increase people's cultivation by a lot!

No wonder there were so many silver-feathered fish in the lake!

This medicinal garden astonished her to no end.

This made her even more concerned about the true owner of the garden.

Not far from the spirit lake was a large farm divided into a few

sections. It contained all kinds of crops growing very well.

Luo Ruying walked into the farm, picked a stalk of rice, and smelled it.

The rice was crystalline, and she could smell slight spiritual energy

coming from it.

This farm was watered with spirit water!

"D-did you plant this?" Luo Ruying turned to look at Ning Yechen.

Considering how well the crop was growing, it needed to be watered with

spirit water regularly.

Normally, people would never think of wasting precious spirit water to

water these types of crops!

It was impossible for the elder to waste such good spirit water, so it

could only be Ning Yechen, who lived nearby!

Ning Yechen nodded proudly. "Doesn't it look good?"

He had carefully planted the crops!

In order to satisfy his cravings, he had specially planted a lot of

crops.

Ning Yechen looked at Luo Ruying proudly, waiting for praise. Her face

twitched slightly. She felt sorry for the spirit water.

It was very precious naturally occurring spirit water, but he used it to

water crops!

It was simply throwing the spirit water away and an utter waste!

Luo Ruying sighed helplessly and kept saying to herself, He's just a

mortal and doesn't know the value of spirit water.
