Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 61
Are You Three the Demon Lord’s Newly Adopted Pets?

The time rewound to the period of the Contests of Commerce competition.

Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, and the others had already departed, leaving Meng Niu and the other two naturally responsible for guarding the house.

Even in Ning Yechen’s absence, they diligently cleaned every inch of the house.

Only after completing the cleaning did the trio leisurely gather on the courtyard steps, still holding cleaning tools like feather dusters and rags.

“Hey, how long do you think it’ll be before Master and Madam return with Miss?” Bai Yuan curiously asked Meng Niu and Cai Se beside him.

“Although Madam’s cultivation is only at the Heaven Human Realm, the spiritual energy within her is remarkably profound. I estimate they’ll finish quickly and return soon.” Cai Se replied nonchalantly, arms crossed and one leg crossed over the other.

She had once witnessed Luo Ruying secretly using her spiritual energy to wash clothes. That pale golden spiritual energy was filled with an unusual pressure, making her feel a sense of apprehension.

If they were to fight to the death, she wasn’t even entirely confident she could defeat Luo Ruying.

It is evident that Madam’s strength is also extraordinary.

Meng Niu, on the other hand, proudly thumped his chest and said, “I don’t know how long it’ll take Madam to return.”

“But if Master allowed me to go, I could crush those people with a single slap.”

“Stupid bull, you should restrain yourself a bit.”

“If you expose your identity and ruin Master’s plans, Master won’t let you off…”

“Don’t forget, you haven’t been held accountable for hitting Miss in the face with a snowball.”

“You should be thanking your lucky stars that you’re still alive today.” Cai Se rolled her eyes at Meng Niu.

Sometimes she truly feared that this stupid bull might accidentally expose his identity.

If that happened and Master decided to pursue the matter, she and Bai Yuan might also be implicated.

At the mention of Ning Yechen, the pride and arrogance on Meng Niu’s face instantly vanished. He lowered his head like a wilted flower, becoming incredibly docile.

Recalling how he had been accidentally breaking things while working recently, his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly…

What if Master became dissatisfied with him and decided to dispose of him directly…

“Compared to when Master and Madam will return, I feel more sympathy for the Jiang family…”

“Of all people to provoke, they had to provoke Master…”

Thinking of Ning Yechen’s terror, Cai Se couldn’t help but feel some pity for the Jiang family.

With Master’s personality, he would definitely not let the Jiang family off…!

“I’m afraid in a few days, the Jiang family will vanish from this world.” Bai Yuan nodded in agreement.

“A few days? That’s too long.”

“If Master wished, he could make the Jiang family disappear right now.”

“It’s just that Master doesn’t seem to want the Jiang family to disappear so directly.” Cai Se said calmly.

Ning Yechen hadn’t instructed them to directly wipe out the entire Jiang family, which could only mean one thing.

That means he doesn’t want the Jiang family to disappear so abruptly, otherwise, annihilating them would be a matter of minutes.

While the trio was chatting idly, the courtyard gate was suddenly knocked upon softly.

Someone’s here?!

Is Master back?!

Cai Se and the others were startled, quickly standing up obediently and pretending to be busy with chores.

Sweeping, dusting the tables…

At this moment, Cai Se and the others were filled with doubts.

Logically, Master and Madam wouldn’t deliberately conceal their presence or footsteps when returning home.

Why hadn’t they heard any sound at all?

Soon, the courtyard gate slowly opened, and a woman with a cold, ethereal beauty and a dignified posture gracefully stepped into the courtyard. Her beautiful eyes swept across the surroundings with interest, and she murmured softly,

“So this is where the Demon Lord has chosen to seclude himself…”

After searching for over a hundred years, she had finally found him…!

Meng Niu and the others looked at the newcomer with confusion, then silently put down their tools.

Huh?!

They thought it was Master returning, giving them quite a fright!

Turns out it wasn’t Master after all!

Meng Niu bluntly spoke up, “Hey, who are you?!”

“Don’t you know you can’t just barge into someone else’s house?!”

In recent days, apart from Qi Yuan, there had been virtually no other visitors to the house.

Seeing a stranger arrive, Meng Niu’s first reaction was to assume she had entered the wrong house and wanted to send her away.

Cai Se hurriedly stopped Meng Niu, afraid he might cause trouble. She took the initiative to approach Yue Qingyou politely and asked, “May I ask who you are looking for?”

“The master and madam are not at home at the moment.”

“Not here…” Yue Qingyou muttered softly, a hint of disappointment in her expression.

But having waited for over a hundred years, she didn’t mind waiting a little longer.

During this time, she also wanted to get a good understanding of the Demon Lord’s current life…

Yue Qingyou stepped into the courtyard on her own, her beautiful eyes curiously scanning the surroundings, ignoring Meng Niu and the others.

This made Cai Se frown slightly.

Who is this person, acting so presumptuous?!

If she didn’t want to cause trouble for Master, she would have already thrown her out!

Seeing that Yue Qingyou was about to enter the main hall, Cai Se and the others finally couldn’t bear it any longer. They blocked her path and asked with displeasure.

“May we ask who you are, young lady?”

“Entering someone’s house without permission is quite rude, don’t you think?!”

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingyou stopped in her tracks, her calm, beautiful eyes gazing at Cai Se and the others. Her next words stunned everyone.

“Sky-Swallowing Python, Chaos Bull Demon, Titan Giant Ape…”

“I didn’t expect the bloodlines of ancient beasts to still exist in the human realm.”

“It’s just that your strength is a bit weak, having only recently stepped into the Immortal Realm…”

Cai Se and the others’ eyes widened in shock.

This person had seen through their disguises with a single glance!

One must know, all three of them had already stepped into the Immortal Realm!

In the human realm, this was considered the pinnacle of cultivation!

Even Luo Ruying hadn’t been able to see through their disguised identities, yet this woman who had suddenly appeared had done so with a single look!

Although there was no trace of cultivation aura emanating from her, this person was definitely not ordinary!

Cai Se and the others’ expressions turned serious. They exchanged glances and, without hesitation, attacked simultaneously!

They had heard that someone had been trying to assassinate Madam and Miss. Perhaps this woman was the one!

With Master away, it was their duty to protect the house!

Apprehend her first!

As the three attacked, Yue Qingyou’s expression remained unchanged. She simply spoke softly, “Get down.”

In an instant, Cai Se and the others’ heads jolted, and their bodies, as if controlled by an unknown force, instantly collapsed to the ground!

Their bodies simply wouldn’t obey them!

This wasn’t a forceful suppression using spiritual energy that made them fall to the ground, because she hadn’t released any spiritual energy at all.

Rather, the words she spoke seemed to possess an inexplicable magic, controlling their bodies and forcing them to comply!

They had absolutely no power to resist!

This was only the second time since encountering Ning Yechen that they had felt such terror and helplessness!

Yue Qingyou stood before Cai Se and the others, looking down at them. She furrowed her brows slightly and said with a hint of disdain.

“Too weak.”

“Are you three the Demon Lord’s newly adopted pets?”

“Demon Lord…?”

“P-Pets…?”

Cai Se raised her head in stunned confusion.

Is the Demon Lord this woman speaking of referring to their Master…?

No matter what, the three of them were still Immortal Realm experts, yet in this woman’s words, they were treated as mere pets…

But considering their Master’s strength, calling them pets didn’t seem entirely wrong…
