Then Today, You Will Die!

Outside the wooden house

After finishing the meal, Luo Ruying walked out of the room carrying the cleaned dishes.

Looking at the pile of dishes at her feet, Luo Ruying frowned slightly. First, she squatted down like an ordinary mortal and began to wash them.

Discovering that the efficiency was too slow, she simply used her Spiritual Power to lift all the dishes and clean water into the air, spinning them at high speed.

In the blink of an eye, all the dishes were cleaned, and the dirty water was separated.

Afterward, Luo Ruying chopped wood and washed clothes in the same way.

All the work was completed in just a few minutes.

Luo Ruying put her hands on her hips, nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but praise herself:

"Even though it's the first time doing this kind of thing, I'm still quite amazing!"

"From now on, if all this work is handed over to me, that guy can also relax a bit..."

Just then, an unpleasant, old, hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Hehehe, I never expected a fairy from the Celestial Realm would do chores like a married woman?"

Luo Ruying suddenly turned her head to look at the hunched old man walking slowly towards her. Her heart leaped, and she felt a sense of impending danger.

Someone had broken through the barrier she had set up!

She hadn't even noticed!

The other party seemed to be a peak Heavenly God Realm expert!

It looked like he came specifically for her!

After escaping here, they still wouldn't let her go!

Luo Ruying's heart was filled with grief and indignation as she clenched her fists tightly.

All she wanted now was to live a peaceful life, but even that was a luxury...

"May I ask if the fairy will come with me obediently, or if I have to take you back myself?"

The Ghost Husband extended his palm, and terrifying, sinister Spiritual Power emanated from his body. The plants under his feet instantly withered, and the earth turned black.

He was emitting an extremely dense miasma!

Luo Ruying's expression was thoughtful, and her heart was hesitant.

If it were just him, she might be able to kill him here!

However, fighting here would inevitably affect her child and him...

"Mom~"

As if by coincidence, at this moment, Luo Hongye, with her short legs, happily ran to Luo Ruying's side from inside the house, wanting a hug.

Upon seeing the Ghost Husband, Luo Hongye instinctively hid behind Luo Ruying in fear.

Ning Yechen also slowly walked out from inside the house to Luo Ruying's side at this moment, his gaze coldly fixed on the Ghost Husband.

The Ghost Husband's eyes lit up when he saw Luo Hongye.

The great figure from the Upper Realm had specifically pointed out that he wanted this child.

It was just that the Ghost Husband was somewhat surprised that, besides Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye, there was another man...?

The intelligence report hadn't mentioned another man?

There wasn't the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Power from him; he looked like just a lowly mortal.

Not worth worrying about!

"Hehehe, I never thought the proud fairy would fall into the mortal world and immediately throw herself into a man's arms?"

The Ghost Husband guessed that this wooden house belonged to Ning Yechen, and Luo Ruying was just temporarily staying there. He couldn't help but mock her.

A fairy from the Celestial Realm marrying a mortal from the human world was truly laughable!

Luo Ruying frowned deeply. Without getting angry, she said in a deep voice:

"I'll go back with you!"

"As long as you let the child and him go!"

After much deliberation, Luo Ruying finally decided to sacrifice herself to protect her child and Ning Yechen.

Her heart was filled with reluctance, but there was no other way.

Even if she defeated the person in front of her, the people from the Celestial Realm would definitely not let her go!

The next ones to come would only be stronger enemies.

What awaited her would still be endless pursuit and escape!

She couldn't keep running with her child like this, nor could she drag Ning Yechen into it...

If her sacrifice could protect her child and Ning Yechen, she would gladly do it!

"Mom, Mom! Wuwuwu, Ye Ye doesn't want to leave Mom!"

Luo Hongye started crying uncontrollably upon hearing Luo Ruying wanted to leave with her. She desperately clutched Luo Ruying's skirt.

Luo Ruying looked down at Luo Hongye at her feet, her eyes filled with immense reluctance and affection. She couldn't help but feel her own eyes moisten.

If only she could, why would she ever bear to leave her child...

"What touching mother-daughter affection~"

"Fairy, rest assured, if you go back with me, that little girl will also go back with me~!"

"As for that man, I'll kill him along the way~"

The Ghost Husband chuckled sinisterly twice and interrupted.

"You...!"

Luo Ruying's delicate face turned cold upon hearing this. She was furious, her fingernails digging into her palm, drawing blood.

She had already compromised this much, yet he still refused to let her child and husband go!

Luo Ruying bent down, picked up Luo Hongye, and placed her into Ning Yechen's arms. Her solemn gaze held a hint of tenderness.

"Leave this to me. You take the child and escape into the forest!"

"Promise me, don't let the child get hurt!"

"I'll catch up to you after I'm done. If you wait too long and don't see me, don't wait anymore!"

With that, Luo Ruying didn't give Ning Yechen a chance to speak. She tiptoed slightly and gently kissed his lips...

This was the first time they had kissed with both of them fully conscious...

Ning Yechen's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"Husband, I'm entrusting our child to you!"

As their lips parted, Luo Ruying whispered tenderly into Ning Yechen's ear.

This was also the first time she had called Ning Yechen that...

It might also be the last time...

She hadn't spent even three days with Ning Yechen. Although there were things that displeased her, he was truly good to her and their child.

The child also liked him very much...

She had already accepted him as her husband in her heart.

So, she wanted to summon the courage to call him that at this moment of parting.

It was also a way of truly entrusting Luo Hongye to him with peace of mind...

Ning Yechen felt both happy and helpless.

Why does this feel like a farewell between the living and the dead...?

"Hurry and take the child away!"

Luo Ruying channeled a gust of wind with a palm strike, sending Ning Yechen and the child flying into the air. They landed far away in the forest behind the mountain!

"To think you could escape from me is simply too naive!"

The Ghost Husband flicked his sleeve, and four grotesque puppets, exuding a thick miasma, chased after them towards the back mountain!

Luo Ruying wouldn't allow these puppets to pursue them. She quickly drew her Immortal Sword and flew to block the puppets, her sword flashing with cold light as she shattered one of them!

The other three puppets quickly passed her, ignoring her completely.

Luo Ruying was anxious. Her figure flickered instantly, and her Immortal Sword unleashed three sharp sword lights!

The sword lights passed through the puppets, cutting three of them in half at the waist!

Meanwhile, the Ghost Husband seized the opening Luo Ruying presented and struck her heavily on the back with his poisonous palm!

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Luo Ruying's mouth. Enduring the intense pain, she still swung her sword to shatter the other three puppets.

No matter what, she absolutely could not let any of these puppets get past her!

Otherwise, Ning Yechen and her child would be in danger!

"Heh heh heh, you'd rather take my palm than let me kill my puppets."

"It seems you care about them a lot..."

"Don't worry, after I kill you, none of them will escape~"

The Ghost Husband let out a chilling, triumphant laugh.

With Luo Ruying injured and poisoned, he felt victory was within his grasp.

The dream of becoming an immortal and ascending was right before his eyes!

Luo Ruying's expression turned icy, her gaze firm and filled with killing intent, as she held her sword to block the Ghost Husband.

"Is that so..."

"Then you will surely die today!"
