Vol. 1 - Chapter 35 - You're Right!
Inside the forest, Luo Ruying held Luo Hongye and played with her while
waiting for Ning Yechen to return.
Suddenly, she sensed powerful spiritual energy 50 kilometers away and
saw a strong beam of light flashing!
And the beam of light had the aura of demons!
Demons had entered the Mortal Realm!
From the looks of it, there was a fight.
They probably were not here for her.
But even if she was not the target, she could not linger here!
Before long, heavenly lightning came from the sky, and thunder resounded
everywhere!
It was divine punishment for breaking divine laws!
Luo Ruying narrowed her eyes solemnly.
The presence of demons meant that this place was very dangerous!
Furthermore, the people fighting had triggered divine punishment. This
meant that their cultivation levels were higher than the Heavenly Mortal
realm!
They had to leave as soon as possible!
Luo Ruying stopped waiting and hurried into the forest to look for Ning
Yechen.
After looking around for a while, Luo Ruying was unable to locate Ning
Yechen. She became anxious and shouted everywhere. "Yechen? Yechen,
where are you?"
She was afraid that Ning Yechen might be in trouble!
Fortunately, after shouting a few more times, Ning Yechen slowly walked
out of the forest.
Luo Ruying heaved a sigh of relief. She walked over to Ning Yechen and
said huffily, "Where did you go? Why didn't you answer?"
"I'm sorry. I went too far and got lost." Ning Yechen scratched his
head awkwardly.
Luo Ruying checked Ning Yechen carefully. Seeing that he was fine, she
felt relieved. "I'm glad you're fine. Let's go. Demons seemed to have
shown up. They're quite strong. We're not safe here. Let's make a
detour."
"Okay." Ning Yechen happily opened his arms, waiting for Luo Ruying to
carry him in a princess hug.
Luo Ruying's face blushed crimson, and she turned around. "I'll carry
Hongye and piggyback you."
Ning Yechen sighed in disappointment.
He had been ready to get into his wife's loving embrace, but now, he
could only lie on her back!
Ning Yechen regretted ever leaving her embrace. It's all those guys'
fault! If they didn't appear, I wouldn't have left my wife's embrace!
He suddenly regretted letting Ye Zheng live!
It was a major loss!
Ning Yechen lay sadly on Luo Ruying's back.
Luo Ruying carried Luo Hongye with one arm, piggybacked Ning Yechen with
the other, and leaped into the air. She changed the route and continued
traveling out of the forest.
Laying on Luo Ruying's back, Ning Yechen could feel her warmth and smell
the refreshing fragrance of her black hair hanging behind her.
He could not resist holding her hair up to his nose and smelling it
gently.
Her hair felt silky to the touch.
Luo Ruying felt Ning Yechen's actions, and her face turned slightly
red. "W-why are you holding my hair?"
The man could not stay still even on her back.
"Your hair smells good. I like it," Ning Yechen praised candidly.
Luo Ruying felt embarrassed by the praise, but she said nothing and let
Ning Yechen touch her hair.
Luo Hongye was also curious and reached her hand out to hold Luo
Ruying's hair.
Ning Yechen even took Luo Ruying's hair to tease Luo Hongye, tickling
her with the ends, making her giggle non-stop.
This father and daughter are really... What do they think my hair is?
Luo Ruying was helpless, but there was still a smile on her lips.
With Luo Hongye's laughter, her earlier anxiety and worry melted away.
After teasing Luo Hongye, Ning Yechen remembered Luo Ruying bringing up
demons earlier. He probed, "You mentioned the demons earlier. What do
you think about them?"
Luo Ruying did not expect that Ning Yechen would suddenly bring up
demons. She thought briefly and said without hesitation, "They are
cruel, violent, and do all kinds of evil. They are warmongers, and
strength means everything to them! They often invade other realms and
cause unrest. Everywhere they go, carcasses pile, and cities are razed
to the ground. They are simply evil."
Ning Yechen fell silent.
"Dear, maybe things aren't the same in the Demon Realm anymore?" Ning
Yechen tried to explain with complicated emotions in his heart.
Although what Luo Ruying said was the truth, it was what the Demon Realm
was like centuries ago.
Under his leadership, the Demon Realm had changed vastly.
However, that still seemed to be people's impression of the Demon Realm.
Luo Ruying frowned and said seriously, "You haven't seen demons before,
so you don't understand. They are cruel beyond imagination! They don't
show mercy to anyone, not even their own.
"Especially the legendary new Demon Lord, Ye Mochen! Legend has it that
when he unified the Demon Realm centuries ago, he killed almost half of
the people who opposed him! He is very ruthless!
"After that, he led his troops and invaded the Heavenly Realm, bringing
about another War of Immortals and Demons! This war destroyed half of
the Heavenly Realm! It is clear that he is a violent and bloodthirsty
man! All the demons respect him as the Demon Lord!
"If you encounter any demons, stay far away from them. You can't ever
get involved with them! There isn't a single good person among them!"
Ning Yechen was at a loss for words.
When Ning Yechen heard Luo Ruying's 'high praise' of him, his face
twitched. He could only smile and agree. "You're right! I will remember
this!"
Fortunately, he was only testing the waters. If she knew his identity,
it would be over for him!
During the last War of Immortals and Demons, the Heavenly Realm had
started it, but everyone said that it was the other way around.
However, he could not explain it to Luo Ruying.
Even if he told the truth, not only would he expose his true identity,
but she would not believe him.
Luo Hongye raised her head from Luo Ruying's arms and asked curiously,
"Mommy, are those demons all baddies?"
"Uh-huh. They are baddies! They have four long fangs, horns on their
heads, and several eyes! And they love eating children like you!" Luo
Ruying said gravely.
"Wah~ I'm not yummy." Luo Hongye was terrified by these words and
hurriedly shrank into Luo Ruying's arms.
Seeing this, Luo Ruying let out a sneaky smile. She stroked Luo Hongye
gently and comforted, "If you behave, everything will be fine."
"Uh-huh. I'll be good." Luo Hongye nodded obediently.
Luo Ruying smiled in satisfaction. Suddenly, she noticed Ning Yechen
looking at himself in a mirror and asked, "Why are you looking in the
mirror?"
"It's nothing. I just want to see if I look scary." Ning Yechen put away
the mirror and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he did not have long fangs, horns, and multiple eyes.
