Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 30 - Fear of Heights

Inside the forest…

Luo Ruying held Ning Yechen and flew over the forest with Luo Hongye strapped to her back.

In order to leave the forest as soon as possible, Luo Ruying simply carried Ning Yechen in her arms in a princess hug and flew over the forest.

At first, Ning Yechen wanted Luo Ruying to put him down, and they could slowly walk.

But being held in her arms was so comfortable that he changed his mind.

As Luo Ruying hurried along, she checked the surroundings carefully, watching out for any monster beast’s attack.

Strangely, even though she had detected the presence of monster beasts previously, she could not find them anymore.

The monster beasts seemed to have left.

Even if she could detect monster beasts at a distance, they immediately scattered and vanished.

She did not have to use any of her aura to make them go away. Instead, the monster beasts immediately scattered once she approached.

It was rather strange, but Luo Ruying could not put her finger on it.

“Mommy, Daddy, are we leaving again?” Luo Hongye asked unwillingly into Luo Ruying’s ear, raising her head from Luo Ruying's back.

Ever since she left that dark place, Luo Ruying had brought her to many places. Each time, they did not stay for long.

It was the same this time…

Because her father was here, she really liked the wooden house in the forest.

Ning Yechen reached his hand out to stroke Luo Hongye’s head comfortingly. “Yeye, we’re going on a trip! We’re going to a place with lots of delicious food and fun things!”

“Food and fun?” Luo Hongye’s eyes lit up, and a look of yearning appeared on her face. “Then, can I eat them?”

“Of course! You can eat whatever you want!” Ning Yechen promised.

“Yay! I want to go on a trip with Mommy and Daddy.” Luo Hongye’s face bloomed with joy as she waved her hands animatedly.

Luo Ruying looked at the daughter and father in her arms dotingly. She whispered to Ning Yechen, “You dote on her too much.”

“Huh? What's wrong? Don’t tell me you're jealous?” Ning Yechen smiled at Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying blushed and glared at Ning Yechen. “That’s not what I meant!“

What is he saying? How can he flirt without batting an eye? I’m tempted to throw him down! How could I be jealous of our daughter?

Ning Yechen’s lips curved upward. He suddenly put his arms around Luo Ruying’s waist and snuggled in her arms.

Luo Ruying was stunned. She whispered, “W-what are you doing?”

“I have a fear of heights! I don’t feel good. I can only ease my heart by hugging you!” Ning Yechen said with a straight face.

Then he put on a vulnerable look, closed his eyes, and leaned his head on Luo Ruying’s chest.

It was soft and smelled good.

He’s afraid of heights? Why didn’t he say anything before? Luo Ruying’s face turned red. She pursed her lips and looked at Ning Yechen in her arms. She seriously suspected the authenticity of his words!

They had been flying for so long, but he only mentioned acrophobia now.

Luo Hongye looked curiously at Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen.

Since earlier, her father and mother had been whispering to each other.

With their daughter looking, Luo Ruying felt embarrassed to push Ning Yechen from her arms.

He might really have a fear of heights.

“Why don’t we stop and take a break?” Luo Ruying asked in concern.

“No need. This works for me,” Ning Yechen replied without opening his eyes.

Luo Ruying was speechless. She immediately felt that he was pretending!

Suddenly, Ning Yechen opened his eyes and changed his words. “Dear, why don’t you put me down for now?”

“Hmm? Okay.” Luo Ruying hurriedly landed from the air and asked in concern, “Are you okay?”

“It's nothing. I just need to use the bathroom.” Ning Yechen scratched his head awkwardly.

Luo Ruying’s face instantly flushed red. She asked softly, “D-do you want me to go with you?”

“Huh?” Ning Yechen opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He did not understand.

He simply wanted to make an excuse to leave her for a bit, but she offered to go to the bathroom with him!

Luo Ruying felt that the way she worded herself seemed easy to misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just worried about monster beasts in the forest.”

_So that’s it. She really shocked me. _Ning Yechen finally realized what she meant. For a moment, he thought his wife was very open-minded and bold.

“Dear, don’t worry. I can manage. Why don’t you wait here with Yeye? I'll be back soon.” Ning Yechen smiled and waved before darting into the forest.

Even though Luo Ruying was still worried, she was too embarrassed to follow him.

After checking that there were no traces of monster beasts or other animals in the area, she obediently waited on the spot.

After entering the forest alone, Ning Yechen put away the smile on his face and frowned.

He could detect a familiar aura that he had not encountered in over a century!

The source of the aura was lurking 50 kilometers away!

It seemed that the other party had specially come for them!

Chaos Demonic Bull and the other two were no match for the other party!

From the looks of it, he had to handle it personally.

He abhorred it when people disturbed him when he was having quality family time!

He had to leave his wife’s warm embrace. For that, they were dead meat!

Ning Yechen swiftly appeared 50 kilometers away in the forest and said coldly, “Come out, all of you.”

It was completely silent in the forest. There was no movement or response.

“Hmph! Don't dare to show your faces, huh? In that case, let me help!” Ning Yechen’s face looked serious as he reached his hand out into the void!

A crack appeared in the void as though it were a broken mirror before it shattered completely!

Ning Yechen grabbed a man with unusual black patterns on his face and pulled him out of the void rift.

The man was terrified and kept struggling.

He could not believe it. He had been hiding in a void rift, but Ning Yechen had found him!
