Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

 Chapter 4
My Wife is Quite Charming~

“Mommy~!”

Luo Hongye quickly flew into Luo Ruying’s arms.

Luo Ruying stroked Luo Hongye’s head, her eyes filled with love and tenderness.

Ning Yechen smiled faintly and got up to prepare the medicine.

By the time Ning Yechen returned, Luo Hongye had already fallen asleep in Luo Ruying’s arms.

“Here, drink the medicine.”

Ning Yechen sat on the edge of the bed with the medicine bowl in hand. With his other hand, he gently helped Luo Ruying sit up.

Weakened, Luo Ruying found it difficult even to sit up straight and could only lean against Ning Yechen.

“By the way, what’s… your name?”

Luo Ruying asked in a weak and embarrassed voice, leaning against Ning Yechen.

She was the one who brought their child and demanded this man take responsibility, yet she didn’t even know his name…

“Ning Yechen.”

“And you, my wife?”

Ning Yechen replied with a smile.

“Wife…?”

Hearing the term “wife,” a blush crept onto Luo Ruying’s pale cheeks, and her expression became quite awkward.

She was very unaccustomed to this form of address…

As a former Empress, being addressed this way suddenly felt strange…

“Is it wrong?”

“You and I have consummated our relationship, and we have a child together. Shouldn’t I call you my wife?”

“You can also call me husband~”

Ning Yechen said with a cheeky grin, quite naturally.

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

Although it was a bit sudden, he felt a surge of joy at suddenly having a wife and becoming a father.

Luo Ruying had no words to refute him and tacitly accepted Ning Yechen’s way of addressing her.

Anyway, she probably didn’t have much time left, so she might as well let him have his way. What did it matter if she was his wife for a few days…

But she couldn’t bring herself to call him “husband.”

“This Empress… I am Luo Ruying…”

Luo Ruying subconsciously wanted to address herself as “This Empress” out of habit, but she softly corrected herself and gave her name.

She was no longer the Empress of the Heavenly Realm.

From this moment on, they truly got to know each other…

Ning Yechen smiled gently, scooped a spoonful of the medicine soup, blew on it to cool it down, and then brought it to Luo Ruying’s lips.

“Drink your medicine, wife, ah~”

Luo Ruying didn’t rush to open her mouth and drink the medicine. Instead, she looked at Luo Hongye in her arms, her expression contemplative. Then, she looked up and solemnly entrusted Ning Yechen:

“If I’m gone, please take care of this child!”

She wanted to take advantage of her stable condition now to entrust everything to Ning Yechen!

She knew her own injuries best.

Damaged meridians, missing Immortal bone and heart—those mortal herbs wouldn’t be able to heal her injuries, they were completely useless.

So whether she drank the medicine or not made no difference.

“Okay, okay, I understand. Drink the medicine first.”

Ning Yechen, in order to get Luo Ruying to drink the medicine quickly, replied perfunctorily.

Luo Ruying’s entrustment was a complete waste of breath because once she drank the medicine, she would be perfectly fine…

Seeing Ning Yechen’s casual response, Luo Ruying frowned, her expression filled with displeasure and disappointment.

She was already in this state, making arrangements for her afterlife, and he didn’t seem to care at all!

“Did you even listen… Mmm…”

Just as Luo Ruying was about to say something, Ning Yechen seized the opportunity to shove the spoon into her mouth…

The medicine soup he had specially prepared was extremely rare and precious, even in the Heavenly Realm!

The medicinal effects would dissipate quickly; it couldn’t be wasted.

Suddenly force-fed the medicine, Luo Ruying was about to get angry, but then she realized something was amiss and froze.

She could feel the immense medicinal power spreading within her, coursing through her entire body!

It was as if a warm current enveloped her, her injuries healing in the blink of an eye. Even the meridians in her body were repairing themselves at an astonishing speed!

What, what kind of medicine was this…?

How could it possess such immense and astonishing medicinal power?!

Even in the Heavenly Realm, she had never consumed such a potent medicine soup!

How could such precious medicinal herbs exist in the Mortal Realm to concoct this kind of medicine?

“What, what kind of medicine is this…?”

Luo Ruying couldn’t help but ask.

“Uh… just some ordinary herbs I picked up in the mountains…”

“Come on, don’t waste it. Drink it quickly while it’s hot.”

Ning Yechen felt a bit guilty and quickly continued to scoop up the medicine soup and feed it to Luo Ruying.

It was indeed difficult to explain how a ‘mortal’ like him had obtained so many precious heavenly herbs and spirit medicines…

Luo Ruying was skeptical. How could such precious ‘herbs’ exist in an ordinary mountain forest?

Just from the taste alone, she could tell there were at least several types of heavenly herbs that were thousands, even tens of thousands of years old!

However, in order not to waste the precious medicinal effects, Luo Ruying temporarily gave up on questioning and obediently opened her mouth to drink every spoonful of medicine soup that Ning Yechen fed her.

This was the first time she had been taken care of like this…

And by a mortal, no less…

Ning Yechen also enjoyed this process of feeding her medicine. Life suddenly seemed to have a lot more fun.

Luo Ruying gently opened her cherry-red lips, taking the medicine spoon into her mouth, greedily licking it clean, not wasting a single drop.

Unexpectedly, feeding medicine seemed quite interesting too…

Noticing Ning Yechen’s gaze, Luo Ruying raised her eyebrows in question.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing…”

“Just thinking that my wife is quite charming~”

Ning Yechen complimented her bluntly.

“Shameless…!”

This straightforward compliment caught Luo Ruying off guard. Perhaps due to the effects of the medicine, a blush crept onto her cheeks. She pursed her red lips and lowered her eyes.

If it were before, she would have angrily scolded him for his impudence, daring to speak so lightly to her, and then punished him.

But at this moment, she felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart.

She wasn’t particularly angry…

“Wife, can you tell your husband what happened?”

After feeding Luo Ruying another mouthful, Ning Yechen seized the opportunity to ask.

If he could get some clues from Luo Ruying, it would be much easier…

Luo Ruying’s expression darkened, and she shook her head resolutely.

“Please don’t ask about this anymore…”

“The less you know, the better. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for you!”

Luo Ruying didn’t want Ning Yechen to get involved in her affairs.

Even if he knew, what could he do?

She couldn’t sense a trace of cultivation or spiritual power from him. How could a mere mortal with no cultivation possibly contend against the forces of the Heavenly Realm?

She didn’t tell him precisely because she didn’t want to involve him and put him in danger.

Although he knew Luo Ruying probably wouldn’t tell him, Ning Yechen couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

If he knew which faction in the Heavenly Realm was responsible, he could launch a precise strike…

The Heavenly Realm was vast, with countless large and small sacred grounds, divine halls, sects, and hidden clans everywhere. It would be truly troublesome to search for them…

It seemed he would still have to go to the Heavenly Realm himself!

After feeding her the medicine, Ning Yechen gently laid Luo Ruying down on the bed and pulled the quilt over her and Luo Hongye.

Having consumed the potent heavenly medicine, Luo Ruying quickly felt drowsy and fell into a deep sleep, her body continuing to absorb the medicinal power.

Ning Yechen lovingly caressed her cheek, then got up and walked out of the house. With a leap, he transformed into a jet-black divine rainbow, soaring into the sky!

The barrier between the Mortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm shattered at this moment!

After a hundred years, Heavenly Realm, I have returned!
