Your Mother! Speak or Not!

"Yechen, Yeye?"

After the danger had passed, Luo Ruying rushed into the forest to search for Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye.

She weaved through the trees anxiously, calling out loudly.

Before long, rustling sounds came from the forest ahead.

Ning Yechen emerged from the trees, carrying Luo Hongye.

Seeing that Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye were both unharmed, Luo Ruying let out a sigh of relief, her tense heart finally at ease.

"Wife."

"Mother!"

Upon seeing Luo Ruying, Luo Hongye's tears flowed like a broken dam. She reached out her small hands, wanting to embrace her.

As Ning Yechen walked to Luo Ruying, she reached out and took Luo Hongye, holding her tightly. She gently stroked her back and cooed softly:

"Mother is here, good Yeye, don't cry."

Seeing her child and him again, Luo Ruying felt immense relief. Her eyes were slightly moist, and she was close to tears of joy.

Ning Yechen stood to the side, watching the scene unfold. A smile appeared on his face, and he opened his arms to Luo Ruying, as if waiting for her to embrace him.

Luo Ruying looked up and glared at Ning Yechen with a hint of reproach, questioning him:

"I told you to take the child and leave, why did you bring her back?"

"What if something had happened?"

She had expected a touching reunion, where she would eagerly embrace him. Instead, she was met with a scolding...

Even though she clearly looked very happy...

Ning Yechen stood awkwardly with his arms outstretched, frozen in place. He couldn't explain that he already knew everything was over, so he could only obediently admit his fault:

"It was my fault..."

"But how could your husband abandon you and our child?"

"Mm! Yeye doesn't want to leave Mother!"

Luo Hongye added resolutely in her childish voice at that moment.

Luo Ruying's heart trembled slightly. She was deeply touched, but she still glared at Ning Yechen again, albeit exasperatedly.

She knew that both Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye were worried about her, which was why they had returned to find her.

She herself was reluctant to leave them.

But she absolutely could not put them in danger!

If there was a next time, she would still make them leave and buy them time herself.

Fortunately, a senior expert had intervened this time. Otherwise, the consequences of Ning Yechen returning with the child would have been unimaginable!

The time she had sacrificed to buy them had almost gone to waste.

This was also why she felt a little angry.

"You're not allowed to do this again!"

"It's too dangerous."

"I'll forgive you this time."

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand, wife."

"So, wife, aren't you going to give your husband a reunion hug?"

Ning Yechen nodded perfunctorily, a smile on his face, and continued to hold his arms open to Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying pouted her lips in dissatisfaction at Ning Yechen's perfunctory tone. After a slight hesitation, she took a step forward, holding Luo Hongye, and pressed herself into his embrace...

Seeing his expectant look, and after their hard-won reunion, a hug was just a hug. She would indulge him...

Ning Yechen's arms naturally wrapped around Luo Ruying's waist, pulling her even closer to him.

Luo Ruying's cheek rested against Ning Yechen's chest, a faint blush appearing on her face. She didn't say anything, tacitly accepting his actions.

This was the first time she had been held like this, and his embrace surprisingly made her feel incredibly warm and secure...

Unconsciously, Luo Ruying quietly closed her eyes.

Having overexerted her Spiritual Power, she fell into a tired sleep...

She still held Luo Hongye tightly in her arms.

Luo Hongye had also fallen asleep, nestled in Luo Ruying's embrace.

Looking at the mother and daughter sleeping peacefully, Ning Yechen smiled dotingly. He reached out with a hint of heartache and gently stroked Luo Ruying's cheek.

Her strength isn't enough, yet she insists on being brave...

Forcing herself to overexert her Spiritual Power and use Immortal Arts beyond her current realm could damage her foundation.

With one wrong move, her remaining cultivation could be lost.

It's a good thing he was here...

Ning Yechen infused Spiritual Power to protect Luo Ruying's body and meridians. He held her, flashed back inside the house, and gently placed the mother and daughter on the bed, covering them with blankets.

He then sat by the head of the bed, guarding them.

Just then, a telepathic message arrived.

"Excellency! We've captured the person you wanted!"

Upon receiving the message, Ning Yechen's expression turned cold. After glancing at the sleeping mother and daughter, he flashed out of the room again.

Somewhere in a cave in the Demon Realm forest

In the dim cave, muffled groans of pain echoed from its depths.

"Nnngh, nnnnngh!!!"

Su Sheng was tightly bound to a stone pillar, a wooden gag stuffed in his mouth, enduring a relentless barrage of blows.

He was no longer the elegant scholar he once was. Instead, his face was bruised and swollen, his clothes tattered, his body covered in bruises, and he looked utterly pathetic.

"Speak! Who sent you here!"

"Damn it! Speak or don't speak!"

The Chaos Demon Bull stood before Su Sheng, its fists the size of sandbags smashing into Su Sheng's body, relentlessly interrogating him.

"Damn it! Such a tough mouth!"

"I've thrown dozens of punches, and he still won't open his mouth!"

"Move aside, let me!"

The Titan Giant Ape rolled up its sleeves and took the Chaos Demon Bull's place. Its ape-like fists slammed heavily onto Su Sheng!

With every punch that landed, the stone pillar behind Su Sheng swayed precariously, and the entire cave trembled!

"I'll make you tough! I'll make you tough!"

"Still won't speak, huh? Fine, I'll make you speak!"

After a few punches from the Titan Giant Ape, Su Sheng was spitting blood, tears welling up in his eyes as he desperately made muffled sounds.

As one of the strongest cultivators in the mortal realm, he was now shedding tears of grievance and pain...

After escaping using the Thousand Mile Escape Talisman, he thought he had gotten away safely. He never expected these three Demon Kings to chase after him like madmen...!

He was eventually caught and had no choice but to fight. Unfortunately, he was defeated and captured.

After that, they gagged him and brought him to this cave.

Without a word, they began to torture him!

He wanted to beg for mercy, to tell them everything he knew, to beg them to let him go, but his mouth was gagged!

He couldn't speak at all!

These two Demon Kings, however, just kept beating him, seemingly not realizing he couldn't speak...!

He truly had grievances he couldn't express!

The Sky Swallowing Python, standing to the side, watched the Chaos Demon Bull and the Titan Giant Ape as if they were idiots.

Were these two fools genuinely unaware his mouth was gagged, or were they doing it on purpose...?

Although the Sky Swallowing Python noticed, she had no intention of reminding them.

The reason? It was to vent their anger!

It was because these damn guys showed up that they almost got blamed by that Excellency again, nearly costing them their lives.

If they didn't beat them up like this, it wouldn't be enough to vent their anger!
