Deep in the night, in a cabin within the Demon Realm forest.
After a period of unconsciousness due to Spiritual Power exhaustion, Luo Ruying slowly woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, Luo Ruying saw Luo Hongye curled up in her arms.
Looking at Luo Hongye's peacefully sleeping face, Luo Ruying felt a sense of peace. A loving smile spread across her face as she reached out and gently stroked her cheek.
Just as she was about to look for Ning Yechen, she suddenly felt a pair of arms tightly wrapped around her waist...!
Luo Ruying was startled, a flicker of panic crossing her face. She twisted around, only to discover Ning Yechen sleeping while hugging her.
It wasn't Luo Hongye sleeping in the middle, but her.
Moreover, she was now in a side-lying position, with Ning Yechen's body pressed tightly against hers.
She could even clearly feel the warmth of his body against her back, and the hot breath he exhaled in his sleep wafting past her ear!
No!
This is too close!
Luo Ruying's face flushed, and she tried to gently remove Ning Yechen's arms from her waist. Unfortunately, Ning Yechen was holding on very tightly, and she couldn't get free!
Why is this guy holding on so tight even in his sleep!
Luo Ruying turned her head and glared at Ning Yechen playfully, then tried to twist her body to break free from his embrace.
However, with Luo Hongye lying in her arms, Luo Ruying was worried about disturbing her, so she didn't dare to move too much.
This resulted in her being completely unable to break free from Ning Yechen's embrace.
Instead, her body kept gently rubbing against Ning Yechen, and her body started to feel a little warm...
Just then, Ning Yechen's leg moved and rested on her, pressing his body even closer...!
"Ah..."
In the darkness, the hand around her waist suddenly squeezed gently. Luo Ruying's face instantly turned red, her expression filled with panic, and she almost cried out.
Fortunately, she managed to cover her mouth in time, preventing a misleading moan...
The child is still sleeping in my arms, I can't make any strange noises!
This guy is really something...!
His sleeping posture is terrible!
And his hands are so restless!
Luo Ruying was filled with shame and anger at this moment, but she couldn't forcefully break free from Ning Yechen's embrace.
With no other options, Luo Ruying could only blush and try to call out softly:
"Ye, Yechen...?"
"Yechen, you, you wake up..."
Luo Ruying called out a few times but received no response.
He's sleeping way too soundly...
I can't wake him up at all!
After several attempts, Luo Ruying resigned herself to it, letting Ning Yechen hold her and sleep...
Let him hold me...
As long as he doesn't do anything strange anymore...
And so, Luo Ruying placed her hands over Ning Yechen's hands around her waist and nestled into his embrace, falling asleep...
Ning Yechen, 'in his sleep,' had a slight upward curve to his lips...
In the early morning, the rising sun shone into the room through the gaps in the window.
"Wife, wife..."
A tender voice calling her name reached Luo Ruying's ears as she slept.
Luo Ruying slowly opened her drowsy eyes, and the first thing she saw was an handsome face close to hers. Startled, she instinctively leaned back.
Recalling Ning Yechen's restless actions while sleeping last night, Luo Ruying couldn't help but show a hint of playful reproach, her cheeks slightly flushed.
This guy made me sleep so poorly last night! (In reality, she had slept very soundly.)
Ning Yechen smiled slightly, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch Luo Ruying's forehead. He asked softly, "Wife, does your body still hurt?"
"I'm all better now..."
Ning Yechen's gentle concern warmed Luo Ruying, and the words she had intended to say to him were silently swallowed back.
Forget it...
It's not his fault he was asleep...
"Wife, your husband has brewed some medicine for you."
Ning Yechen brought over a bowl of medicinal soup to nourish her body, and as usual, he scooped some up and brought it to Luo Ruying's lips.
This time, Luo Ruying didn't stubbornly insist on eating it herself. Instead, she obediently opened her mouth and took the spoon.
Only if she recovered her health sooner could she prevent future dangers.
Ning Yechen fed Luo Ruying spoonful after spoonful with great pleasure.
Although he could easily heal all of Luo Ruying's injuries, he hadn't chosen to do so.
On one hand, it would easily arouse Luo Ruying's suspicion. It was one thing to make medicinal porridge, but if he were to produce elixirs, his identity would be revealed.
On the other hand, seeing Luo Ruying's delicate and moving side due to her weakness was incredibly endearing...
He could also take this opportunity to care for her when she was weak...
After drinking a few mouthfuls of the medicine, Luo Ruying pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke to Ning Yechen:
"Yechen, pack our things later, let's leave here."
This wasn't a sudden whim, but a plan she had made after repeated consideration.
The fact that the Ghost Husband and his group had pursued her here meant her location had likely been exposed.
The enemy might send more powerful adversaries soon!
With her current cultivation, she couldn't even stop the Ghost Husband and his group, let alone more formidable enemies.
The safest and most secure method was to leave quickly before the enemy arrived.
Ning Yechen understood Luo Ruying's intentions and worries. Although her worries were completely unnecessary, he still nodded in agreement with her wishes.
He had chosen to live in seclusion here to enjoy a simple and happy life.
Now that he had a wife and child, wherever they went, he would naturally follow.
After the two of them made arrangements, they began packing their belongings to leave.
Luo Ruying still had a spare Spirit Ring. Although it was empty, it was now perfect for storing their belongings.
With a wave of her hand, most of the luggage in the room was stored in the Spirit Ring.
"Wow wow, my wife is so amazing~"
Ning Yechen clapped his hands and praised her.
"Leave anything that needs packing to me."
Luo Ruying said with a smile.
It was just a simple act of storing items in the Spirit Ring, but for some reason, she felt a little happy after Ning Yechen's praise...
After Luo Hongye woke up, she also toddled around the room, happily helping to pack.
"Wife, I'll go pack things outside."
"Okay."
Ning Yechen looked at Luo Ruying and her daughter, smiled slightly, found an excuse, and left the room. He then secretly sent a telepathic message to summon the Chaos Demon Bull and the other two.
"I will be leaving here for a while."
"I'll give you two choices."
"One is to stay here and help me look after everything here, and the other is to leave with me. You choose."
Ning Yechen said calmly to the three of them.
It was fine for the three of them to stay and guard his house and medicinal garden, but it would also be good to disguise themselves and keep them by his side to secretly protect Luo Ruying and the others.
The Chaos Demon Bull and the other two exchanged glances, and they had already made up their minds!
"Excellency! Please allow us to follow by your side!"
"We are willing to pledge our lives to serve you!"
If it were before, they would have definitely chosen to stay in the Demon Realm forest and continue to be their Demon Kings.
But after he helped them break through their cultivation and gifted them immortal weapons last time, they had changed their minds!
While staying by the Excellency's side was dangerous and frightening, it was also an unparalleled opportunity!
