Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 18
Then Today, You Shall Die!

Outside the wooden house

After finishing their meal, Luo Ruying carried the dirty dishes out of the house.

Looking at the pile of bowls and chopsticks at her feet, Luo Ruying frowned slightly. At first, she tried washing them like an ordinary mortal, squatting by the water basin.

However, finding this method too inefficient, she decided to use her spiritual power, lifting all the dishes and clean water into the air and spinning them at high speed.

In the blink of an eye, all the dishes were sparkling clean, and the dirty water was separated.

Afterward, Luo Ruying used the same method to chop wood and wash clothes.

All the chores were completed in just a few minutes.

Luo Ruying placed her hands on her hips, nodding with satisfaction, and couldn’t help but praise herself:

Although this was the first time doing such chores, this Empress is quite capable!

From now on, she would take care of these tasks, so that guy could relax a bit…

Just then, an unpleasant, raspy old voice suddenly rang out.

“Heh heh heh, I didn’t expect a heavenlyl fairy from the Heavenly Realm to do such menial chores like a common woman.”

Luo Ruying abruptly turned her head towards the hunched old man slowly approaching. Her heart skipped a beat, a sense of danger washing over her.

Someone had breached the barrier she had set up!

And she hadn’t even noticed!

He seemed to be a peak Heaven God Realm expert!

It seemed he had come specifically for her!

Even after escaping here, they still wouldn’t leave her alone!

Luo Ruying’s heart was filled with a mixture of grief and indignation, her fists clenched tightly.

All she wanted was to live a peaceful life, but even that was a luxury…

“May I ask if the heavenly fairy will come with me willingly, or will I have to take you back myself?”

Gui Fu extended his hand, a terrifying and eerie spiritual energy emanating from his body. The grass and trees around him instantly withered, and the ground turned pitch black.

A dense miasma emanated from him!

Luo Ruying’s expression was contemplative, her heart filled with uncertainty.

If it was just him, she might be able to kill him here!

But fighting here might endanger her child and him…

“Mommy~”

As if on cue, Luo Hongye, with her little legs, happily ran out of the house towards Luo Ruying, wanting a hug.

Seeing Gui Fu, Luo Hongye instinctively hid behind Luo Ruying in fear.

At that moment, Ning Yechen leisurely walked out of the house and stood beside Luo Ruying, his eyes fixed coldly on Gui Fu.

Gui Fu was overjoyed at the sight of Luo Hongye.

That powerful figure in the upper realm had specifically emphasized the importance of this child.

However, what surprised Gui Fu was that besides Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye, there was another man…?

There was no mention of a man in the information he received?

This man didn’t have any spiritual power fluctuations; it seemed he was just a lowly mortal.

No need to worry about him!

“Heh heh heh, I didn’t expect that the arrogant heavenly fairy, after falling into the Mortal Realm, would immediately throw herself into the arms of a man.”

Gui Fu, guessing that this wooden house belonged to Ning Yechen and that Luo Ruying was merely seeking refuge here, couldn’t help but sneer.

A heavenly fairy from the Heavenly Realm marrying a mortal from the Mortal Realm, how ridiculous!

Luo Ruying frowned deeply, not angered, but said in a heavy voice:

“I’ll go with you!”

“As long as you let the child and him go!”

After careful consideration, Luo Ruying ultimately decided to sacrifice herself to protect her child and Ning Yechen.

She felt a deep reluctance in her heart, but there was no other way.

Even if she defeated this man before her, those people from the Heavenly Realm would never let her go!

Next time, they would send even more powerful enemies.

What awaited her was an endless cycle of escape and pursuit!

She couldn’t keep running with her child like this, and she couldn’t drag Ning Yechen into this mess…

If sacrificing herself could protect her child and Ning Yechen, she was willing to do it!

“Mommy, Mommy! Wuwuwu, Ye Ye doesn’t want to leave Mommy!”

Hearing that Luo Ruying was going to leave with this man, Luo Hongye burst into tears, clinging tightly to her dress.

Luo Ruying looked at Luo Hongye at her feet, her eyes filled with reluctance and love. Tears welled up in her own eyes.

If she had a choice, how could she bear to leave her child…

“What a touching mother-daughter scene~”

“Don’t worry, heavenly fairy. If you come with me, the girl will come with me too~!”

“As for that man, I’ll kill him as a bonus~”

Gui Fu interrupted with a sinister chuckle.

“You…!”

Luo Ruying’s face turned cold with fury, her nails digging into her palms, drawing blood.

She had already made such a concession, yet he still wouldn’t spare her child and husband!

Luo Ruying bent down, scooped up Luo Hongye, and placed her in Ning Yechen’s arms. Her solemn gaze held a hint of tenderness.

“I’ll handle this. Take our child and escape into the forest!”

“Promise me, don’t let her get hurt!”

“I’ll catch up with you after I’m done. If you don’t see me for a long time, don’t wait for me any longer!”

Without giving Ning Yechen a chance to speak, Luo Ruying stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him on the lips…

This was the first time they had kissed while both were fully conscious…

Ning Yechen’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

“Husband, please take care of our child!”

Luo Ruying whispered softly in Ning Yechen’s ear, her voice filled with tenderness, as their lips parted.

This was also the first time she had addressed Ning Yechen in such a way…

Because it might very well be the last…

She had known Ning Yechen for less than three days, and although he sometimes annoyed her, he was truly good to her and their child.

And their child was very fond of him…

She had already accepted him as her husband in her heart.

So, at this moment of parting, she wanted to gather her courage and call him that one last time.

It was also a way of entrusting Luo Hongye to him with complete peace of mind…

Ning Yechen felt both happy and helpless.

Why was this like a final farewell…?

“Take our child and go!”

Luo Ruying channeled her spiritual energy into a gust of wind, sending Ning Yechen and their child flying into the air, landing them far away in the forest behind the mountain!

“Trying to escape from me? How naive!”

Gui Fu flicked his sleeve, and four grotesque puppets, emanating a thick miasma, chased after them!

Luo Ruying wouldn’t allow these puppets to pursue them. She quickly drew her heavenly sword, flew in front of the puppets, and with a flash of cold light, sliced one of them in half!

The other three puppets swiftly bypassed her, ignoring her completely.

Anxious, Luo Ruying’s figure flickered, and her heavenly sword unleashed three sharp sword beams!

The sword beams struck the puppets, cutting them in half at the waist!

Taking advantage of Luo Ruying’s distraction, Gui Fu struck her back with a venomous palm!

Luo Ruying coughed up a trace of blood, but enduring the intense pain, she still managed to slash the remaining three puppets with her sword.

No matter what, she couldn’t let any of the puppets escape!

Otherwise, Ning Yechen and her child would be in danger!

“Heh heh heh, you’d rather take a hit from me than let my puppets escape.”

“It seems you care about them a lot…”

“Don’t worry, after I kill you, none of them will get away~”

Gui Fu let out a sinister and smug laugh.

With Luo Ruying injured and poisoned, he felt victory was within his grasp.

His dream of ascending to immortality was right before his eyes!

Luo Ruying’s face was icy cold, her eyes resolute and filled with killing intent, as she stood before Gui Fu with her sword drawn.

“Is that so…”

“Then today, you shall die!”
