Your Husband Won't Eat You~

Your Husband Won't Eat You~

Luo Ruying held Luo Hongye in her arms, her eyes full of curiosity as she wandered through this Immortal Medicine Garden.

A certain idea suddenly came to Ning Yechen. Seizing the chance, he walked alone to another open stretch of grass not far away.

This place had originally been prepared as farmland for planting other crops as well, but now he had a new idea!

With a sweep of his sleeve, tens of thousands of seeds scattered over the grass like raindrops.

With a crisp "snap," Ning Yechen snapped his fingers, and in an instant a hundred flowers bloomed across the grass, the mountains and fields covered in riotous, colorful blossoms!

The sea of flowers burst into bloom, and the rich fragrance drifted a hundred li beyond!

Luo Ruying was suddenly drawn over by the rich floral scent as well, staring blankly at the magnificent, dazzling flowers blanketing the mountains before her.

When the clear breeze blew past, it swept up gusts of brilliant, multicolored petals like flying rain.

Luo Hongye happily jumped down from Luo Ruying's arms and bounced into the flower bushes.

"How is it, Wife? Do you like it?"

Ning Yechen slowly walked to Luo Ruying's side and asked with a smile.

Luo Ruying turned her head to look at Ning Yechen, her face full of disbelief.

"T-this was planted by you too...?"

Ning Yechen nodded.

Luo Ruying was greatly shocked.

Such a beautiful sea of flowers—how much time would it take to create this...

Ning Yechen pulled Luo Ruying down to sit among the flowers, enjoying the clear breeze brushing their faces and the refreshing fragrance that seeped into the heart and spleen.

Ever since fleeing the Immortal Realm, Luo Ruying's nerves had been taut at every moment, worrying that those people would come chasing after her again.

And at this moment, those taut nerves finally relaxed ever so slightly...

Luo Ruying's slender fingers gently brushed aside a few strands of hair at her temples that the breeze had stirred across her cheeks. The corners of her lips curved slightly into a crescent-moon smile, revealing an incomparably beautiful smiling face.

She called out sweetly to Luo Hongye, who was playing among the flowers not far away:

"Yeye, be careful. Don't run too fast, and don't go too far."

Ning Yechen stared dazedly at Luo Ruying's peerlessly beautiful profile. His heart stirred, and he could not help reaching out to wrap an arm around her slender, soft waist.

In the past, he had seen countless fairy maidens and demonesses, yet none of them had ever made him feel this way. For some unknown reason, whenever he looked at Luo Ruying, an indescribable throbbing rose in his heart...

Could it be because she was his first woman, and because she was already his wife...?

Her waist was suddenly held, and Luo Ruying's delicate body trembled lightly. A trace of panic flashed through her beautiful eyes, but she showed no resistance at all.

It was just that her body was very tense, unbearably nervous.

With her current cultivation in the Human-Celestial Realm, breaking free would have been very easy, but she did not do so.

On one hand, she was worried about accidentally injuring Ning Yechen. After all, mortals were very fragile to cultivators.

On the other hand, deep down, she did not actually dislike Ning Yechen, nor had she ever looked down on him because he was merely a mortal.

Though she had once blamed him for taking her body, things had come to this point now: the child had been born, and the two of them could be considered a true husband and wife...

Between husband and wife, hugging should count as a very normal action too, right...

Ning Yechen looked at Luo Ruying, whose body was as stiff and taut as a piece of wood, and could not help finding it amusing. He leaned close to her ear and said softly:

"Relax a little, Wife. Your husband won't eat you~"

"I-I'm not nervous...!"

Those words instantly made Luo Ruying's face flush red all the way to her ears. She raised her eyes and glared at Ning Yechen in coquettish annoyance.

A mere mortal actually dared to tease her...!

Faced with Luo Ruying's coquettish, angry glare, Ning Yechen did not mind at all. Instead, he felt that she looked especially adorable when angry, and revealed a satisfied smile.

Luo Ruying was so angry that her chest rose and fell. She simply turned her head away with a red face and ignored Ning Yechen.

This hateful fellow clearly knew she was a cultivator with cultivation, yet still dared to tease her like this...

If it had been anyone else, she would have slapped him to death long ago!

While Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying were alone together, Luo Hongye, who was lying among the flowers, saw a brilliantly colored butterfly flutter past her eyes.

Luo Hongye had never seen a butterfly before. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately chased after it with her little toddling steps.

Before she knew it, she had run to the edge of the flower bushes, and the butterfly finally stopped on a fresh blossom.

Luo Hongye leaned close to the butterfly curiously and wanted to reach out and touch it, but the startled butterfly flew into the shrubs.

"Ah, wait, Yeye..."

Luo Hongye broke into a run after it, but the butterfly had already vanished somewhere in the shrubs.

All around her was empty and vast, the forest dense and silent.

Luo Ruying felt afraid in her heart. When she turned back, she discovered that she had gotten a little far from Mother and Father.

Just as she was about to hurry back, a huge, pitch-black shadow blocked her tiny body from behind.

Luo Hongye turned around and saw a massive, ferocious dragon, its scales standing up all over its body like sharp blades, poking its head out from the bushes!

The giant dragon's pitch-black vertical pupils fixed tightly on Luo Hongye, its eyes filled with surprise and greed, drool flowing from the corner of its mouth.

"Look what I've found! A human...!"

"It's been so long since I tasted a human!"

"Y-Yeye doesn't taste good..."

Luo Hongye trembled in fright and backed away step by step, only to stumble and fall with an unsteady step.

With a loud "Wah," she burst into terrified sobs.

"Wuwuwu... Mother... Father...!"

That crying shout was instantly noticed by Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying.

Unable to find Luo Hongye anywhere, Luo Ruying's expression turned frantic. She immediately flashed out, racing toward the source of the sound!

"Hahaha, calling for your father and mother is no use!"

"Be good and let me eat you!"

"Don't worry, you won't feel any pain!"

The Black Scale Giant Dragon opened its bloody maw and bit down toward Luo Hongye.

At this critical moment, Luo Ruying shot out in a blur and slashed open the Black Scale Giant Dragon's entire face with one sword strike!

"Get lost!"

"You beast! What were you trying to do to my child!"

Luo Ruying stood with her sword in front of Luo Hongye, her beautiful face cold as frost as she stared at the Black Scale Giant Dragon before her.

Its face had been cut open, fresh blood streaming straight down. The Black Scale Giant Dragon was in agony, glaring at Luo Ruying in fury.

"Damned human!"

"You dare cut my face!"

"In this place, aside from that lord, no one has ever dared do this to me!"

As soon as it spoke, countless steel blades extended from the Black Scale Giant Dragon's body, and an astonishing pressure of spiritual power gushed out from within it!

A Black Scale Giant Dragon of the Heavenly God Realm...!

That was a demon beast at the Demon King level!

A trace of shock and vigilance appeared in Luo Ruying's eyes.

Among the human realm, the Black Scale Giant Dragon was an existence at the very peak of cultivation and strength!

She had not expected one to appear here!

Could it have been drawn here by the aura of the immortal herbs and fruits?

She should have been on guard earlier!

Luo Ruying sank into self-reproach.

It was because of her negligence that her child had nearly been put in danger.

If this had been her former cultivation level, she could have killed this Black Scale Giant Dragon with a casual sword strike.

But now, her cultivation and strength were only at the Human-Celestial Realm.

If she truly fought the Black Scale Giant Dragon, it was not as if she would necessarily lose.

It was just that she was worried she would not be able to look after Luo Hongye's safety at the same time...!

What should she do? Should she simply take the child and flee...?

Just as Luo Ruying was pondering how to respond, Ning Yechen's figure slowly walked over from behind.

Seeing that Ning Yechen had also hurried over, panic showed on Luo Ruying's face.

This was bad!

If it was only taking Luo Hongye with her, she had enough confidence to retreat in one piece.

But if Ning Yechen was added as well, she might not be able to escape from the Black Scale Giant Dragon's grasp!

Luo Ruying was instantly caught in a dilemma...
