In the forest, Ning Yechen, holding Luo Hongye, slowly landed on the ground from mid-air.

A fierce battle was already underway in the wooden house not far away, with sword lights and miasma visible everywhere.

This little girl...

Always thinking of sacrificing herself to protect the child...

Ning Yechen stood up, holding Luo Hongye in his arms, contemplating how to resolve these impertinent ants without being discovered.

As the former Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, he was a sworn enemy of the Celestial Realm.

And Luo Ruying was from the Celestial Realm. If he directly revealed his identity, her attitude towards him would inevitably change...

His fear was that she would take the child and leave him, so he had to avoid revealing his identity for now.

"Wuwuwu, Daddy, please don't leave Mommy, okay?"

"Yeye doesn't want to leave Mommy!"

Luo Hongye, nestled in Ning Yechen's arms, sobbed and pleaded with him, her big eyes red from crying.

"Be good, Yeye, don't cry."

"Daddy promises you, your Mommy will be fine."

"Daddy won't leave your Mommy."

Ning Yechen's heart ached as he looked at her. He reached out, wiped the tears from Luo Hongye's cheeks, and gently comforted her.

However, a cold, sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes!

You made my daughter cry, not a single one of you will leave here alive!

"Is what Daddy said true...?"

Luo Hongye stopped crying and asked him seriously.

Ning Yechen smiled and nodded.

"How could Daddy lie to Yeye?"

"Then Daddy, let's hurry and find Mommy."

Luo Hongye said eagerly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a deep voice suddenly echoed from the forest ahead.

"Where do you think you're going~?"

Wu Kuang walked out of the dim forest, looking at Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye with a playful expression.

His gaze was mainly focused on Luo Hongye, and he grinned, revealing a row of shiny steel teeth.

"I knew Old Ghost was trying to snatch the credit!"

"Fortunately, I was careful and followed him secretly~"

"It's all come to me without any effort, hahaha!"

Wu Kuang laughed heartily to the sky, then extended his palm, looking down at Ning Yechen with disdain, and said:

"Kid, hand over that child to me obediently."

"I'll give you a quick death~"

Luo Hongye, scared, shrank further into Ning Yechen's embrace. She looked up at him timidly.

It was as if she was afraid that Ning Yechen would really abandon her and hand her over to this rough, bad guy.

Ning Yechen saw Luo Hongye's fear, a faint smile appeared on his face. He stroked the back of her head and whispered in her ear:

"Yeye, can you close your eyes and cover your ears for a while?"

"Daddy will do some magic for Yeye~"

"Mhm..."

Luo Hongye's big eyes were filled with confusion, but she obediently closed them, covering her ears with her small hands.

"So good~"

Ning Yechen smiled. When his gaze fell on Wu Kuang, his expression instantly turned incredibly cold, as if he were looking at a dead man.

For some reason, Wu Kuang felt a chill run through his body, and a sense of fear arose within him!

He didn't know how long it had been since he last felt fear, and he was actually intimidated by a mortal with no cultivation?!

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

His arrogant self-esteem would never allow it!

He wanted to crush the person in front of him!

"A mere ant, how dare you look at me like that!"

"You're courting death!"

Wu Kuang bent his legs and sprang forward, his body turning into afterimages. He instantly appeared before Ning Yechen, his heavy iron fist whistling with a powerful, blade-like fist wind that struck towards Ning Yechen's face!

This punch was enough to shatter his head!

With a loud "Bang!", the expected scene of a bursting skull did not occur.

The unstoppable punch was easily caught by a slender palm.

Wu Kuang's expression was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although he hadn't used his full strength, this punch was enough to split mountains and crack the earth, yet it was easily blocked by the palm of this 'mortal' before him?!

This guy was definitely not just a mortal!

Wu Kuang was greatly alarmed, realizing that Ning Yechen was definitely a cultivator who had hidden his strength, and his power was definitely not below his own!

"You, who exactly are you?!"

Wu Kuang tried to retract his hand, but found that no matter how hard he tried, his fist remained firmly grasped in Ning Yechen's hand, unmoving!

Ning Yechen's eyes were filled with disdain and killing intent. He did not answer Wu Kuang's question, but instead said calmly:

"I don't want my daughter to see a bloody and cruel side..."

"So you're lucky."

"You can disappear from this world."

With that said, a ball of dark black flame suddenly erupted from the palm with which Ning Yechen was holding Wu Kuang!

The black flame spread along Wu Kuang's arm to his entire body, completely engulfing him!

"Ahhh!"

Wu Kuang's skin began to melt and his bones to fuse, his entire body dissolving as he let out a heart-wrenching wail!

His soul within his body was also twisted in pain by the burning black flame, until moments later, his spirit and form were utterly destroyed!

Ning Yechen, worried that Wu Kuang's screams would frighten Luo Hongye, casually cast a soundproof barrier to enclose Wu Kuang.

The entire process took only a few seconds. Wu Kuang vanished from the world, not even leaving behind ashes.

When Ning Yechen released Luo Hongye's ears, she slowly opened her eyes and curiously looked around, but she could no longer find any trace of Wu Kuang.

She couldn't help but look up and ask Ning Yechen curiously:

"Daddy, where did that big bad guy go?"

"Daddy did some magic and made the big bad guy disappear~"

Ning Yechen smiled.

Upon hearing this, Luo Hongye's eyes lit up, her big eyes filled with admiration.

"Daddy is so amazing!"

"Yeye, can you not tell anyone that Daddy can do magic to make bad guys disappear?"

Ning Yechen squatted down, put Luo Hongye down, and pulled her aside to say.

"Not even Mommy?"

Luo Hongye tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Yes! Don't tell your Mommy either."

Ning Yechen nodded.

This made Luo Hongye's little face full of confusion.

"Why can't I tell Mommy, Daddy?"

"Um... because Daddy wants to have a little secret with Yeye!"

"This is a little secret between Daddy and Yeye, and little secrets can't be told to others!"

Ning Yechen thought of an excuse on the spot and said.

When Luo Hongye heard this, the confusion on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a happy smile.

"Daddy and Yeye's little secret~!"

"Yeye understands."

"Yeye won't tell Mommy, and won't tell anyone else."

"Aww~ Our Yeye is so good~"

Ning Yechen praised her, rubbing Luo Hongye's cheek.

Children are indeed easy to fool~

"Yeye, wait here obediently for a moment, okay?"

"Daddy is going to help your Mommy beat up a bad guy, and will be back soon."

Ning Yechen led Luo Hongye to a tree and drew a barrier formation around them.

Luo Hongye nodded obediently, and even worriedly said:

"Daddy, be careful when you beat up the bad guy."

Ning Yechen showed a very confident and reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, Yeye. No one in this world is a match for your Daddy!"
