The Immortal Realm's Empress Might as Well Give It Up

The next morning

Luo Ruying slowly opened her eyes. The moment she did, she saw a handsome face before her.

The sleeping Ning Yechen was pressed very close to her, so close that she could even feel his faint breath.

One of Ning Yechen's arms served as a pillow for Luo Hongye, who slept between them, while his other hand rested between Luo Ruying's hips...

And one of his legs had been draped over her all night...!

Luo Ruying lightly furrowed her delicate brows, her hand curling into a fist. She truly wanted to teach this fellow with his atrocious sleeping posture a proper lesson.

Last night, she did not even know how many times she had moved Ning Yechen's leg off her body, only for it to soon end up draped over her again!

After tossing and turning like that, she ultimately gave up helplessly...

That alone would have been one thing. She could endure it.

But this fellow's hands were not behaving either!

Luo Ruying clenched her fist and hesitated for a moment before finally loosening it helplessly.

She would let him off this time...

He was asleep and had not done it on purpose, so forget it...

Besides, she and the child had rarely slept so peacefully last night...

Luo Ruying gently moved Ning Yechen's hand and leg away, then carefully climbed out of bed. With a hairpin held between her lips, she sat by the bedside and gathered up her beautiful hair.

Ning Yechen secretly opened his eyes, admiring Luo Ruying's lovely, slender back, unable to stop a smile from spreading across his face.

My wife looked so beautiful when she tied up her hair...

When Luo Ruying finished arranging her hair and turned around, Ning Yechen hurriedly shut his eyes again.

Looking at Ning Yechen, who was still smiling at the corners of his lips in his sleep, Luo Ruying found it both curious and amusing.

What good thing was this fellow dreaming about, smiling so happily even while asleep...?

Lowering her head, Luo Ruying saw that Luo Hongye's little face also wore a sweet smile, and she could not help smiling helplessly as well.

This child was just like her father...

Luo Ruying looked fondly at the two on the bed. Without making a sound to disturb them, she put on her clothes and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

She could go without food or drink, but the child was still young, and Ning Yechen was merely an ordinary mortal. As their wife and mother, she naturally had to take up the duty of caring for them.

While Luo Ruying was busy, Ning Yechen was also crouched at the entrance with the awakened Luo Hongye in his arms, brushing their teeth.

Although Luo Hongye did not understand what they were doing, she happily and curiously copied him, holding the slender brush and brushing her teeth.

Luo Ruying curiously glanced at the two crouching by the door, having no idea what they were doing, and helplessly shook her head.

Who knew what that fellow was teaching the child...

But seeing how happy the father and daughter were, she decided not to interfere.

After a while, Luo Ruying prepared a table full of dishes and called out to the two still playing noisily outside:

"Breakfast is ready~"

"Hehehe, Mommy, coming~"

Luo Hongye rode on Ning Yechen's shoulders as they walked into the house.

There was even a flower tucked into Ning Yechen's hair.

"Yeye, no misbehaving."

Seeing Ning Yechen with a flower on his head, Luo Ruying nearly burst out laughing. She hurriedly lifted Luo Hongye down from his shoulders.

Ning Yechen did not mind at all. Instead, he was rather delighted as he smiled and took his seat at the table.

The dishes on the table had all been made from crops and herbs picked from the Immortal Medicine Garden.

Likely worried that his constitution could not handle Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine with excessively potent effects, Luo Ruying had mostly used low-age varieties, or kinds that would not cause much harm even if mortals consumed them.

She had been very considerate.

Though even if he ate whatever he wanted, nothing would happen to him...

Since Luo Hongye was still too small, she could only sit in Luo Ruying's arms. Leaning over the table, she buried her face in her bowl and ate until rice grains covered her little face.

Luo Ruying fondly took out a handkerchief and wiped Luo Hongye's mouth, then began feeding her bite by bite herself.

"Come, Yeye, eat some more~"

"My wife, you've worked hard too~"

Ning Yechen picked up some food and placed it into both Luo Hongye's and Luo Ruying's bowls.

A nearly imperceptible curve lifted at the corner of Luo Ruying's lips. She also picked up a dish and held it toward Ning Yechen.

"You, you too..."

"What I made may not be that tasty. Try it..."

Luo Ruying had originally intended to place it in Ning Yechen's bowl, but who would have thought that he would directly lean over and eat it in one bite?

After swallowing it, he smiled and praised her:

"Mmm, my wife's cooking is quite good~!"

"It exceeded your husband's expectations!"

That was Ning Yechen's genuine thought.

He had not expected Luo Ruying, an immortal maiden from the Immortal Realm, to be unexpectedly good at cooking too...

She was already beginning to look like a virtuous wife and loving mother!

What had been feeding him turned into feeding him directly from her chopsticks, and a faint blush surfaced on Luo Ruying's cheeks.

Why had he even put her chopsticks into his mouth...

Seeing this, Luo Hongye also raised her head, opened her mouth wide at Luo Ruying, and said in her childish voice:

"Yeye wants some too, ah~"

"Alright, alright, alright~"

Luo Ruying smiled lightly and picked up another bite, feeding it into Luo Hongye's mouth.

Ning Yechen also fondly picked up food and took turns feeding it into Luo Hongye's mouth.

Luo Hongye refused no food that came her way. Her cheeks puffed up as she ate, her whole face beaming with smiles.

As Luo Ruying watched the peaceful, happy scene of the family of three gathered around the table for a meal, a happy, contented smile also appeared on her face.

This was a feeling she had never possessed even when she had once been an empress...

If only they could keep hiding here in the future, living in seclusion here with him and their child for the rest of their lives...

Then she might as well not be the Immortal Realm's Empress...!

Outside the Demon Realm Forest

Four figures gathered outside, their burning gazes fixed upon the boundless Demon Realm Forest.

"Old Ghost, are you certain they are hiding in this Demon Realm Forest?"

A man in azure sword robes frowned and asked an elderly man beside him, whose body was hunched and whose face was covered in spots.

"Hehehe, could it be that Lu Jianxian looks down on this old man's Ghost Puppet Soul Chasing Technique?"

Ghost Husband gave a sinister grin as he held a horrifying puppet with the face of an infant in his hands.

The Ghost Infant Puppet clenched a lock of beautiful hair in its mouth, its gaze fixed firmly upon the distant depths of the Demon Realm Forest.

"Who in this world does not know of Old Ghost's ghostly soul-chasing technique?"

"As long as one obtains something from a person's body, one can locate and track them across ten thousand miles!"

"It seems that woman from the Immortal Realm truly is hiding in this Demon Realm Forest!"

Another muscular man with his upper body bare let out a hearty laugh.

"There are countless demon kings in the depths of the Demon Realm Forest. If they truly are hiding within it, bringing them back will likely not be so easy."

A man dressed as a Confucian scholar frowned slightly.

"Could it be that the master of Tianxia Confucian Palace is afraid?"

The muscular man looked at Su Sheng and mocked him.

Su Sheng's brows furrowed tightly as he stared at the muscular man with an unfriendly gaze.

"Hmph! Even the master of Martial God Hall is not afraid. Would my Tianxia Confucian Palace be afraid? Ridiculous!"

"So, Palace Master Su wishes to exchange a few moves with me?"

Wu Kuang stared at Su Sheng with fervent eyes, a sharp and soaring aura erupting from his body!

Su Sheng likewise burst forth with an aura not the slightest bit weaker than Wu Kuang's!

"Enough!"

"The reason the four of us gathered here is not to compete over victory or defeat!"

"Do not forget why everyone came here!"

Lu Jian stepped between Su Sheng and Wu Kuang with his sword in hand, rebuking them coldly.

Upon hearing this, Su Sheng and Wu Kuang immediately withdrew their auras.

Compared with competing over victory and defeat, they had come here with an exceedingly important mission!

To capture the mother and daughter named Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye!

Dead or alive!
