The Empress of the Celestial Realm Should Just Quit

The next morning

Luo Ruying slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome face right in front of her.

Ning Yechen, still asleep, was so close to her that she could feel his gentle breaths.

One of Ning Yechen's arms was used as a pillow for Luo Hongye, who was sleeping between them. His other arm, however, was resting on Luo Ruying's hip...

And one of his feet had been on her all night...!

Luo Ruying frowned slightly, clenching her fists. She really wanted to teach this guy with terrible sleeping posture a good lesson.

Last night, she had no idea how many times she had moved Ning Yechen's foot off her, only for it to be placed back again moments later!

After tossing and turning, she finally gave up in resignation...

Fine, she could tolerate that.

But this guy's hands weren't behaving either!

Luo Ruying clenched her fist, hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly relaxed it.

She'd let him off the hook this time...

He was asleep, it wasn't intentional, so it was fine...

Besides, she and the child had finally gotten a peaceful night's sleep...

Luo Ruying gently moved Ning Yechen's hands and feet, then carefully got out of bed. Biting down on her hairpin, she sat on the edge of the bed and began to style her hair.

Ning Yechen secretly opened his eyes and admired Luo Ruying's beautiful, slender back, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

My wife looks so beautiful when she styles her hair...

When Luo Ruying finished and turned around, Ning Yechen quickly closed his eyes again.

Looking at Ning Yechen, who was sleeping with a smile on his lips, Luo Ruying felt curious and amused.

What good thing is he dreaming about to be smiling so happily in his sleep...

Luo Ruying looked down and saw that Luo Hongye's little face also wore a sweet smile. She couldn't help but smile too.

This child is just like her father...

Luo Ruying dotingly glanced at the two of them on the bed. Without disturbing them, she put on her clothes and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Although she didn't need to eat or drink, the child was still young, and Ning Yechen was just a mortal. As his wife, she naturally had to take on the duty of caring for them.

While Luo Ruying was busy, Ning Yechen, holding the now awake Luo Hongye, squatted by the front door brushing his teeth.

Although Luo Hongye didn't understand what they were doing, she happily and curiously imitated him, holding the thin brush and brushing her teeth.

Luo Ruying curiously glanced at the two of them squatting by the door, doing who-knew-what, and shook her head helplessly.

I wonder what that guy is teaching the child...

But since father and daughter are happy, I won't bother them.

A while later, Luo Ruying had prepared a table full of food. She called out to the two of them who were still playing outside:

"Dinner's ready~"

"Hee hee, Mommy, coming~"

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

A flower was also stuck in Ning Yechen's hair.

"Yeye, no fooling around now."

Luo Ruying almost burst out laughing when she saw Ning Yechen with a flower in his hair. She quickly scooped Luo Hongye off his shoulders.

Ning Yechen didn't mind; in fact, he was quite happy. He smiled and took his seat at the table.

The dishes on the table were made from crops and herbs picked from the immortal herb garden.

Perhaps worried that his constitution couldn't handle immortal herbs and spiritual medicines with too potent effects, Luo Ruying had mostly used varieties that were younger or wouldn't cause much harm even to mortals.

She was very thoughtful.

Though, it's not like anything would happen to me even if I ate them casually...

Because Luo Hongye was too young, she had to sit in Luo Ruying's lap, leaning over the table with her head buried in her bowl, eating with her face covered in rice grains.

Luo Ruying dotingly took out a handkerchief to wipe Luo Hongye's mouth, then began to feed her bit by bit.

"Here, Yeye, eat more~"

"Wife, you've worked hard too~"

Ning Yechen picked up dishes and put them into the bowls of both Luo Hongye and Luo Ruying.

A subtle smile curved Luo Ruying's lips. She also picked up a dish and offered it to Ning Yechen.

"You, you too..."

"What I made might not be as tasty, try it..."

Luo Ruying intended to put the food into Ning Yechen's bowl, but unexpectedly, Ning Yechen directly stuck his head over and took a bite.

After eating, he smiled and praised:

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

"It's beyond my husband's expectations!"

This was Ning Yechen's true thought.

He hadn't expected that Luo Ruying, a fairy from the Celestial Realm, would be surprisingly good at cooking...

She was already quite the picture of a virtuous wife and loving mother!

The feeding had turned into being fed directly, and a faint blush appeared on Luo Ruying's cheeks.

Why did he even put her chopsticks in his mouth...

Luo Hongye saw this and looked up at Luo Ruying, her mouth wide open. She said in a childish voice:

"Yeye wants some too, ah~"

"Okay, okay~"

Luo Ruying smiled slightly and picked up another dish to feed Luo Hongye.

Ning Yechen also dotingly picked up dishes and took turns feeding Luo Hongye.

Luo Hongye accepted everything, her cheeks puffed out, her face full of smiles.

Luo Ruying looked at the peaceful and happy scene of the family of three gathered around the table, a happy and content smile also appearing on her face.

This was a feeling she had never experienced even when she was the Empress...

If only she could stay hidden here forever, living in seclusion with him and their child for the rest of her life...

Then it wouldn't matter if she wasn't the Empress of the Celestial Realm...!

Outer edge of the Demon Realm forest

Four figures gathered outside, their gazes fixed intently on the boundless Demon Realm forest.

"Old Ghost, are you sure they are hiding in this Demon Realm forest?"

A man in a green sword robe asked a hunched-over elder with a spotted face beside him, his brow furrowed.

"Heh heh heh, Lu Jianxian, do you look down on my Ghost Puppet Soul Chasing Technique?"

Old Ghost chuckled sinisterly, holding a terrifying puppet with an infant-like face in his hand.

The Ghost Infant Puppet had a strand of hair in its mouth, and its gaze was fixed firmly on the distant Demon Realm forest.

"Who in the world doesn't know of Old Ghost's Ghost Puppet Soul Chasing Technique?"

"As long as you obtain something from a person, you can track them down from a thousand miles away!"

"It seems that the woman from the Celestial Realm is indeed hiding in the Demon Realm forest!"

A burly man with his upper body bare let out a hearty laugh.

"There are countless demon kings deep within the Demon Realm forest. If they are truly hiding there, it might not be so easy to bring them back."

A man dressed as a scholar frowned slightly.

"Is the Master of the Tianxia Confucian Palace afraid?"

The burly man sneered as he looked at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng's brow furrowed, and he glared at the burly man unhappily.

"Hmph! If the Hall Master of the Martial God Hall isn't afraid, why would my Tianxia Confucian Palace be? Ridiculous!"

"So, Palace Master Su, do you want to spar with me?"

Wu Kuang stared at Su Sheng with fervent eyes, his body exuding a fierce, sky-piercing aura!

Su Sheng did not show any weakness either, unleashing an aura no less powerful than Wu Kuang's!

"Enough!"

"The purpose of us four gathering here is not to compete for victory or defeat!"

"Don't forget why we're all here!"

Lu Jian, holding his sword, stood between Su Sheng and Wu Kuang, sternly reprimanding them.

Su Sheng and Wu Kuang immediately retracted their auras upon hearing this.

Compared to a spar, they had a very important mission here!

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

Dead or alive!
