Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 4 - My Wife Is Gorgeous

“Mommy!” Luo Hongye quickly lunged into Luo Ruying’s arms.

Luo Ruying touched Luo Hongye’s head lovingly.

Ning Yechen smiled, got up, and left to brew medicine.

When Ning Yechen came back, Luo Hongye was already asleep in Luo Ruying’s arms.

“Here. Take the medicine.” Ning Yechen sat down by the bed, holding the medicine in one hand, and slowly helped Luo Ruying to get up.

Luo Ruying was so weak that she had trouble getting up. She could only lean against Ning Yechen.

“Oh, yes, w-what’s your name?” Luo Ruying leaned against Ning Yechen and asked in a weak and slightly shy tone.

She had brought their child over, wanting to hold the man accountable, but she did not know his name.

“Ning Yechen. What about you, Dear?” Ning Yechen asked with a smile on his face.

“D-Dear?” Hearing the way he called her, Luo Ruying’s pale face instantly turned red, and she looked awkward.

She was very unaccustomed to this.

She used to be a Heavenly Empress, but someone suddenly called her this, so she could not help feeling weird.

“Is something wrong? You’ve slept with me, and now we have a child. Aren’t you basically my wife? If you want, you can call me baby,” Ning Yechen said in a thick-skinned manner.

Since she was his woman, from now on, she would be his wife.

Even though it was unexpected, he felt happy that he suddenly had a wife and daughter.

Luo Ruying was unable to retort, so she quietly let Ning Yechen have his way.

In any case, she probably did not have much time left, so it did not make a difference for her to be his wife for a few days.

However, she certainly could not call him baby.

“I am Hea… Luo Ruying.” Luo Ruying wanted to introduce herself as a Heavenly Empress out of habit, but she quietly changed her words.

Now, she was no longer a Heavenly Empress of the Heavenly Realm.

From this moment, the two of them finally knew each other’s identities.

Ning Yechen smiled. He scooped a spoonful of medicine from the bowl, cooled it, and held the spoon to Luo Ruying’s mouth. “Dear, time to take your medicine. Ah~”

Luo Ruying was in no hurry to take the medicine. Instead, she looked at Luo Hongye in her arms with a serious expression before raising her head to say to Ning Yechen, “If I am no longer around, please take care of this child!”

She wanted to tell Ning Yechen to take care of everything while her condition was stable.

She knew her condition best.

Her meridians were destroyed, and her immortal bone and heart were gone. Just using the medicine in the Mortal Realm was of no use at all.

It made no difference to take the medicine.

“Okay, okay, got it. Now, take your medicine.” In order to make Luo Ruying take the medicine as soon as possible, Ning Yechen answered patronizingly.

The words Luo Ruying wanted to say were a complete waste of time. The moment she took the medicine, she would be fine.

Hearing Ning Yechen’s patronizing tone, Luo Ruying frowned. She looked at him unhappily, disappointed.

She was already in this condition and simply trying to take care of her final affairs, but he did not take it to heart. “Are you listening to me…. Mhm—”

Before Luo Ruying could finish speaking, Ning Yechen took the opportunity to put the spoon into her mouth.

He had specially brewed the medicine. Even in the Heavenly Realm, these herbs were rare.

The medicinal effect would fade away quickly, so he could not let it go to waste.

Luo Ruying was about to get angry over being force-fed medicine, but she suddenly noticed something wrong and went into a daze.

She could sense powerful energy from the medicine spreading throughout her body!

It felt as though she was covered in warmness. The injuries on her body recovered completely in the blink of an eye. Even her meridians were swiftly recovering!

What kind of medicine is this? Why is it so powerful and effective? Even in the Heavenly Realm, I have never taken something like this! How can such rare herbs be available in the Mortal Realm? Luo Ruying wondered.

“W-what is this medicine?” Luo Ruying blurted out.

“Erm… It’s just some herbs I picked from the mountain. Come on. Don't waste it. Take the medicine now.” Ning Yechen felt a little guilty as he hurriedly scooped medicine into Luo Ruying's mouth.

A ‘mortal man’ like him was unable to have access to so many heavenly herbs, so it was genuinely hard to explain.

Luo Ruying did not buy it. This was an ordinary mountain, and it made no sense for such rare herbs to be available.

Just based on the herbs she could identify, there were already a few heavenly herbs that were over 1,000 or even 10,000 years old.

In order to not put the medicine to waste and take it while it was effective, Luo Ruying did not continue asking. Instead, she obediently opened her mouth and drank every spoon Ning Yechen fed her.

This was the first time that someone was taking care of her like this. What was more, he was a mortal.

Ning Yechen enjoyed the process of feeding her medicine. It felt as though life suddenly became a lot more interesting.

Luo Ruying gently opened her pink lips and let the medicine enter her mouth. She even licked the spoon greedily, not wanting to waste a single drop.

He never knew that feeding someone medicine could be so intriguing.

Luo Ruying detected Ning Yechen’s gaze, so she raised her head and asked quizzically, “Hmm? What’s the matter?”

“Nothing. I just think my wife is gorgeous,” Ning Yechen said candidly.

“You’re shameless!”

His blunt words took Luo Ruying by surprise. It was unknown if it was a symptom of the medicine, but her face blushed. She pursed her pink lips and looked down.

In the past, she would reprimand him for his shamelessness and even punish him.

Now, something felt different inside, and she was not particularly angry.

“Aren’t you going to tell me what happened?” Ning Yechen asked while feeding Luo Ruying a spoonful of medicine.

If he could get some clues from Luo Ruying, it would be easier for him.

A serious look appeared on Luo Ruying’s face, and she shook her head firmly. “Please stop asking. The less you know, the better. Otherwise, you’ll be in grave danger!”

Luo Ruying did not want Ning Yechen to get involved in her business.

Even if he knew the truth, he could do nothing.

She was unable to detect the slightest cultivation and spiritual energy from him. A mere mortal could never go against the powers of the Heavenly Realm.

She did not want him endangered, so she chose not to say anything.

Even though he knew that Luo Ruying might not tell him the truth, Ning Yechen could not help feeling disappointed.

If he knew the culprits’ identities, he could more accurately attack them.

The Heavenly Realm was vast. There were countless sacred places, palaces, sects, and mysterious clans. It would be quite hard if he had to search without any clue.

From the looks of it, he had to make a trip to the Heavenly Realm!

After feeding the medicine, Ning Yechen put Luo Ruying to bed and pulled up the blanket to cover Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye.

Luo Ruying was very sleepy after taking such strong medicine. She fell into deep sleep while her body continued absorbing it.

Ning Yechen touched her face lovingly before walking out of the house. With a jump, he transformed into a dark light going straight toward the heavens!

The protective screen dividing the Mortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm was broken!

After one hundred years, here I come, Heavenly Realm!
