Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 44 - This Should Be Enough

This news was a bombshell for everyone!

Someone had the audacity to attack Jiang Li from the Jiang family in Nanli City!

The moment people heard the news, everyone was stunned.

The Ji family held great power and authority in the city, so no one dared to make trouble for them, yet someone surprisingly attacked them publicly!

Hearing the news, Qi Yuan was equally shocked.

Jiang Li had dozens of guards at the Spiritual Energy Martial realm and a protector of an even higher realm, but they were all killed!

She did not recall anyone in Nanli City with such ability.

Qi Yuan was astonished by this news, but a happy smile emerged on her face.

Retribution came for the Jiang Li and Jiang family!

Jiang Li must have gone overboard with his arrogance and offended the wrong person.

He had asked for it!

Luo Ruying did not take the matter to heart.

She did not care about the matter at all.

She simply hoped that this incident would have zero impact on her life.

“Let's go. It's getting late. It's time to pick a place to stay,” Luo Ruying, carrying Luo Hongye, said to Ning Yechen.

They had finished strolling around the city for now, and it was time to find suitable accommodations.

“Big Sister Luo, Big Brother Ning, what kind of residence would you like?” Qi Yuan, their guide, asked.

Her family was one of the major merchant families in Nanli City, so she had a keen grasp of the commercial and residential properties in the city.

The managers of her Qi family would handle the business matters. As long as Luo Ruying described what kind of residence she wanted, Qi Yuan could soon find suitable accommodations.

Luo Ruying pondered for a moment and said, “I would prefer somewhere quiet.”

She did not have high demands about accommodation and just wanted the family to be together.

After some thought, Qi Yuan quickly summoned a manager responsible for real estate.

The manager brought Qi Yuan, Luo Ruying, and the others to a peaceful part of the city.

The street in front of the residence was empty. Outside the compound stood a few trees, and behind it was a gurgling stream. The scenery was serene and picturesque.

The front door opened into a spacious and well-lit compound. In addition to the main room, there were a few smaller rooms, a kitchen, and an independent bathroom in the backyard.

The compound was almost as big as a mansion.

“The place looks good, but it seems a bit too big. It’s too extravagant for just the three of us to live here.”

Even though her residence in the Heavenly Realm was much larger and more luxurious, as someone’s wife, she now had many considerations.

It would be a waste for the family of three to live in such lavish accommodations.

Moreover, cleaning and maintaining the house would not be easy.

Most importantly, such a large house should cost a lot of money!

Ning Yechen looked around and felt the house was good. He took Luo Hongye from Luo Ruying and asked with a smile, “Yeye, do you like the place?”

“Yes~ As long as Mommy and Daddy are here, I like this place,” Luo Hongye said happily while sitting in Ning Yechen's embrace.

“That's my girl.” Ning Yechen stroked Luo Hongye’s nose dotingly and turned to Luo Ruying. “Dear, why don’t we live here?”

Luo Ruying pulled him aside and asked quietly, “Isn't this place too expensive for us?”

She used to be an Empress of the Heavenly Realm and never dreamed she would see the day when she had to worry about money.

When she escaped from the Heavenly Realm, her spatial rings had been taken from her. Other than her cultivation, she had nothing else.

Ning Yechen had never had to worry about money.

In his eyes, buying the entire city was nothing, let alone a tiny mansion.

“Don’t worry, Dear. I have some savings.” Ning Yechen confidently patted his chest.

Luo Ruying was surprised.

She had assumed Ning Yechen was a poor hunter living in seclusion in the mountains.

After all, few wealthy people would choose to live in those conditions.

“My wife and I are satisfied with this house. How much for it?”

The manager smiled and walked over. “Do you plan on renting or purchasing?”

“I want to buy it,” Ning Yechen replied without hesitation.

Luo Ruying hurried to Ning Yechen’s and whispered, “You don’t have to buy it. Renting is fine. We’re just living here temporarily.”

They had come to Nanli City to avoid pursuit and might leave at any moment. It was unnecessary to buy a house.

“Don’t worry. It doesn’t cost much,” Ning Yechen said comfortingly.

He found it adorable that his wife was already starting to worry about their finances.

She was becoming more and more like a virtuous wife.

The property manager held up two fingers. “Sir, the residence is two million taels.”

Ning Yechen retrieved a pouch from his chest and handed it to the man without hesitation. “This should be enough.”

The man opened the pouch quizzically, and a look of amazement appeared on his face.

The pouch was filled with all kinds of rare gems!

In terms of color, cut, and scarcity, they were extraordinary!

Among them, there were even gems that he was unable to identify!

The manager carefully picked out a gem and used professional eyeglasses to examine it. His expression became even more shocked.

With the gem’s purity, the price would increase dozens of times if it were made into jewelry.

He had spent more than half his life working for the Qi family, but he had never seen such a high-quality gem!

This pouch full of gems was worth far more than two million taels.

Qi Yuan came over. Having grown up and trained in a merchant family, she could judge the value of some items.

When she saw the bag full of gems in the manager’s hand, her eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Ning Yechen. Big Sister Luo’s husband is actually so rich.

“Big Sister Luo, Big Brother Ning, these gems are enough for the house, but I can't accept them.” Qi Yuan took the pouch and returned it to Ning Yechen. “Big Sister Luo is my savior, so I'd like to give you the house as thanks for saving me.”

“How can we accept that?”

Luo Ruying wanted to decline, but Ning Yechen beat her to it. He narrowed his eyes and asked Qi Yuan with a smile, “If I'm not mistaken, you have something to ask of us, right?”

Ever since Qi Yuan found out about Luo Ruying’s strength, she became very enthusiastic.

Although a part of her enthusiasm was due to gratitude, Ning Yechen noticed the hesitation appearing in her eyes every now and then.

Qi Yuan was so friendly to his wife because she had something to ask of her.

Hearing this, Luo Ruying looked at Qi Yuan.

Seeing that Ning Yechen had seen through her intentions, Qi Yuan no longer concealed it. She bowed reverently and said in an imploring tone to Luo Ruying, “That's right. I do have something to beg of you. Big Sister Luo, please save my family!”
