Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 35
My Wife Was Right!

In the forest, Luo Ruying was playing with Luo Hongye while waiting for Ning Yechen to return.

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of spiritual pressure erupted from a hundred li away, and a devastating beam of light flashed before her eyes!

The beam was accompanied by a strong demonic aura!

Someone from the Demon Realm had descended to the Mortal Realm!

It seemed like they were engaged in a fierce battle with someone.

They probably weren’t here for her…

But even if they weren’t, she couldn’t stay here for long!

Not long after, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck from the clear sky, its thunderous roar echoing through the air!

The Heavenly Dao’s obliterating lightning?!

Luo Ruying’s eyes narrowed slightly, her expression serious.

The appearance of demons meant this place was dangerous!

Moreover, the battle had already attracted the Heavenly Dao’s punishment, which meant their cultivation exceeded the limitations of the Mortal Realm!

They had to leave immediately!

Luo Ruying didn’t wait any longer and rushed into the forest to search for Ning Yechen.

“Yechen? Yechen!”

After searching the surroundings and failing to find any trace of Ning Yechen, even with her divine sense, Luo Ruying grew anxious and called out his name.

Her biggest fear was that something might have happened to him!

Fortunately, after calling out a few more times, Ning Yechen emerged from the other side of the forest.

Relieved, Luo Ruying approached him and said with a hint of reproach in her eyes:

“Where did you go? You didn’t even answer me…”

“Sorry, wife. I went a bit too far and got a little lost…”

Ning Yechen said apologetically, scratching his head.

Luo Ruying carefully examined him and, seeing that he was fine, relaxed.

“That’s good. Let’s hurry and leave.”

“It seems some demons have appeared ahead. They are very powerful, and it’s not safe.”

“Let’s take another route and go around them.”

“Okay, as you wish, wife~”

Ning Yechen cheerfully walked towards Luo Ruying, opening his arms, ready to be carried.

However, this time, Luo Ruying blushed slightly and turned her back to him.

“I’ll carry the child, and I’ll carry you on my back…”

“Eh…!”

Ning Yechen couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment.

He was all ready to be embraced in his wife’s warm arms, but now he could only be carried on her back!

At this moment, Ning Yechen deeply regretted getting out of her embrace…

It was all the fault of Ye Zheng and the others!

If it weren’t for their arrival, he wouldn’t have had to leave his wife’s embrace!

He suddenly regretted letting that Ye Zheng fellow go so easily!

What a loss!

Ning Yechen sighed with regret as he settled onto Luo Ruying’s back.

Luo Ruying, holding Luo Hongye in her arms and carrying Ning Yechen on her back, leaped high into the air and changed course, continuing to fly through the forest.

Ning Yechen, clinging to Luo Ruying’s back, could feel the warmth of her body and the faint fragrance of her long, black hair, a scent that was incredibly pleasant.

He couldn’t resist reaching out and gathering a lock of her hair, bringing it close to his nose for a gentle sniff.

Her hair flowed through his fingers, silky smooth and delicate.

Luo Ruying noticed Ning Yechen’s actions, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks.

“Why, why are you playing with my hair…?”

This guy couldn’t keep his hands to himself even when he is on her back…

“Because your hair smells so good, wife. I really like it~”

Ning Yechen complimented her directly.

Luo Ruying blushed at the compliment but didn’t say anything, letting Ning Yechen gently stroke her hair.

Luo Hongye, curious, also climbed onto her shoulder and grabbed her hair.

Ning Yechen even teased Luo Hongye with her hair, tickling her ear with the strands, making her giggle.

These two really are…

Treating her hair like a toy…

Luo Ruying sighed helplessly, but a smile remained on her lips.

Her previous anxiety and unease had vanished with Luo Hongye’s laughter.

After teasing Luo Hongye for a while, Ning Yechen remembered that Luo Ruying had mentioned demons earlier and decided to probe her thoughts.

“Wife, you mentioned demons earlier. What do you think of the people of the Demon Realm?”

Luo Ruying didn’t expect Ning Yechen to suddenly bring up the Demon Realm. Her expression turned serious, and she replied almost without hesitation:

“The people of the Demon Realm are ferocious and cruel, capable of any evil. They are utterly wicked!”

“They are warmongers who only respect strength!”

“They often invade other realms, causing chaos and unrest!”

“Wherever they go, corpses litter the ground, and everything is reduced to ruins and flames!”

“They are a race of evil and brutality!”

Ning Yechen: “…”

“Wife, actually… perhaps the Demon Realm isn’t that bad now…?”

Ning Yechen said, his feelings complex, trying to defend his people.

Although what Luo Ruying said was true, that was the Demon Realm from hundreds of years ago.

After he unified the Demon Realm, it had become a different place.

But it seemed the outside world still held onto that old impression…

Luo Ruying frowned slightly and admonished Ning Yechen earnestly:

“You’ve never seen the Demon Realm, so you don’t understand them.”

“The cruelty of the demons is beyond your imagination!”

“They show no mercy to anyone, not even their own kind!”

“Especially that legendary new Demon Lord, Ye Mochen!”

“It is said that when he unified the Demon Realm hundreds of years ago, he almost wiped out half of those who opposed him! He’s utterly ruthless!”

“After that, he even led the demon army to invade the Heavenly Realm. That heavenly-demon war almost destroyed half of the Heavenly Realm!”

“This shows how brutal and bloodthirsty that Demon Lord is!”

“All the demons revere him as their lord, and all other demons are no exception!”

“If you ever encounter someone from the Demon Realm, you must flee far away and never have anything to do with them!”

“There isn’t a single good person among the demons!”

Ning Yechen: “…(￣﹏￣iii)”

“…My wife is right!”

“I’ll keep that in mind!”

Ning Yechen’s face twitched slightly as he heard Luo Ruying’s ‘high praise’ of him. He could only chuckle awkwardly and agree.

It was a good thing he had tested the waters first. If she had known his true identity, who knows what would have happened…

The last heavenly-demon war was entirely instigated by the Heavenly Realm, yet everyone claimed that it was the Demon Realm who initiated the invasion…

And he couldn’t explain this to Luo Ruying…

Even if he did, not only would his identity be exposed, but she wouldn’t believe him either…

Luo Hongye, sitting in Luo Ruying’s lap, raised her head and asked curiously:

“Mommy, are all those demons bad guys?”

“Yes~ They are all bad guys!”

“They have four long fangs, two horns on their heads, and many eyes on their faces!”

“And they love to eat little children like Ye Ye!”

Luo Ruying said with a serious expression.

“Wuwuwu, Ye Ye doesn’t taste good…”

Luo Hongye was frightened by these words and quickly hid in Luo Ruying’s arms.

Seeing this, Luo Ruying smiled slyly, pleased with her successful tactic. She gently stroked Luo Hongye’s back and comforted her:

“As long as Ye Ye is obedient and stays by Mommy and Daddy’s side, nothing will happen.”

“Yes, yes! Ye Ye will be obedient!”

Luo Hongye nodded obediently and said softly.

Luo Ruying smiled with satisfaction. She suddenly noticed Ning Yechen constantly checking himself in a mirror and asked in confusion:

“Why do you keep looking in the mirror?”

“Nothing…”

“Just checking if I look scary…”

Ning Yechen put away the mirror, relieved.

Good…

He didn’t have long fangs, nor did he have horns or multiple eyes…
