Wife Is Right!

In the forest, Luo Ruying held Luo Hongye as she played with her, waiting for Ning Yechen to return.

Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying spiritual pressure erupted a hundred miles away, and a dreadful beam of light, as though it could destroy heaven and earth, flashed before her eyes!

The beam was mixed with a dense aura of the Devil Race!

A member of the Devil Race had descended into the human realm!

It seemed they had gotten into a battle with someone?

It probably was not here for her...

But even if it was not here for her, they could not stay nearby for long!

Not long after, an immortal thunderbolt crashed down from the clear sky in the distance, its thunder resounding throughout the heavens!

The obliteration of Heavenly Dao immortal thunder?!

Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her expression grave.

The appearance of a member of the Devil Race meant this place was dangerous as well!

Moreover, the battle over there had already drawn down Heavenly Dao's punishment, which meant their cultivation had exceeded the restrictions of the human realm's Heavenly Dao!

They had to leave quickly!

Luo Ruying stopped waiting and hurried into the forest to look for Ning Yechen.

"Yechen? Yechen!"

After searching all around and finding no trace of Ning Yechen, nor sensing him with her divine sense, Luo Ruying grew anxious and shouted in every direction.

What she feared most was that Ning Yechen might have suffered some mishap!

Fortunately, after calling out a few more times, Ning Yechen slowly emerged from the other side of the forest.

Luo Ruying sighed in relief at the sight. She walked up to Ning Yechen and said with a faintly reproachful look in her eyes, "Where did you go? You didn't even answer me..."

"Sorry, Wife. I went a little too far and accidentally got a bit lost..."

Ning Yechen scratched his head and apologized.

Luo Ruying carefully checked Ning Yechen over. Seeing that he was unharmed, she finally relaxed.

"It's good that you're all right. Let's go quickly."

"It seems a member of the Devil Race has appeared ahead. The Devil Race is very powerful, so it isn't safe."

"We should take another route and go around them."

"All right, as Wife says~"

Ning Yechen happily walked in front of Luo Ruying, spreading his arms as he prepared to receive a Princess Carry.

Yet this time, Luo Ruying blushed slightly and turned around directly.

"I'll carry the child. I'll carry you on my back instead..."

"Eh...!"

Ning Yechen could not help letting out a disappointed sigh.

He had already been prepared to lie in his wife's gentle embrace, only for it to change into having to cling to her back instead!

At that moment, Ning Yechen regretted getting down from her embrace more than anything...

It was all Ye Zheng and the others' fault!

If they had not arrived, he would not have needed to leave his wife's embrace!

He was suddenly a little regretful that he had let Ye Zheng off so easily!

What a blood loss!

With great regret, Ning Yechen lay across Luo Ruying's back.

Luo Ruying held Luo Hongye in one arm and carried Ning Yechen on her back as she leaped high into the air, changing routes and continuing to fly toward the edge of the forest.

Lying on Luo Ruying's back, Ning Yechen could feel the warmth of her back and the faint, delicate fragrance emanating from her jet-black hair cascading behind her. The scent was utterly refreshing.

Unable to resist, he reached out and lifted her beautiful hair, bringing it close to his nose for a gentle sniff.

The strands flowed through his fingers, silky-smooth and delicate.

Luo Ruying noticed Ning Yechen's actions. Her cheeks flushed faintly as she asked, "Y-you, why are you lifting my hair...?"

Why was this guy being so improper even from behind...

"Because Wife's hair smells wonderful. Your husband likes it very much~"

Ning Yechen praised her frankly.

Luo Ruying felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, but she did not say anything more, allowing Ning Yechen to gently stroke her beautiful hair.

Luo Hongye also curiously climbed onto her shoulder and grabbed a handful of her hair.

Ning Yechen was still teasing Luo Hongye with her hair, tickling her ears with the tips and making her giggle nonstop.

This father and daughter really were...

What did they take her hair for...?

Luo Ruying sighed helplessly, yet a smile remained on her lips.

The tension and unease from before also vanished along with Luo Hongye's laughter.

After jostling Luo Hongye for a while, Ning Yechen recalled Luo Ruying mentioning the Devil Race earlier and tentatively asked, "Wife, you mentioned the Devil Race just now. What do you think... of the Devil Race?"

Luo Ruying had not expected Ning Yechen to suddenly bring up the Devil Race. Her expression immediately turned solemn as she answered almost without hesitation, "The Devil Race is fierce and cruel, committing every conceivable evil. Their sins are beyond measure!"

"They are especially warlike and acknowledge only the strong!"

"They often invade the other realms, throwing them all into turmoil and unrest!"

"Wherever they go, corpses carpet the ground, and all becomes ruins and seas of fire!"

"They are an evil and brutal race!"

Ning Yechen: "..."

"Wife, actually... perhaps the Devil Race isn't quite so bad now...?"

Ning Yechen felt conflicted at her words and tried to speak in their defense.

What Luo Ruying said was true, but that had been the Demon Realm of several centuries ago.

After he unified the Demon Realm, it had become completely different.

It seemed that the outside world still clung to that fixed impression of the Demon Realm...

Luo Ruying frowned slightly and earnestly cautioned Ning Yechen, "You have never met the Devil Race, so you do not understand them."

"Their savagery is beyond anything you can imagine!"

"They show no mercy to anyone—not even their own kind!"

"Especially that legendary new supreme of the Demon Realm, Ye Mochen!"

"It is said that when he unified the Demon Realm several centuries ago, he nearly wiped out half of those who resisted him! He was cruel beyond all measure!"

"Afterward, he led the Demon Realm's army in an invasion of the Immortal Realm. That Immortal-Demon War nearly destroyed more than half of the Immortal Realm!"

"That alone shows what a bloodthirsty, brutally savage man the Demon Realm Supreme is!"

"The Devil Race reveres him as the Demon Lord, and every other devil is no exception!"

"If you ever encounter someone from the Devil Race, you must flee as far away as possible. You must never become entangled with them!"

"There isn't a single good person among the Devil Race!"

Ning Yechen: "...(￣﹏￣III)"

"...Wife is right!"

"I'll remember that!"

Hearing Luo Ruying's "high praise" of him, Ning Yechen could not stop his face from twitching slightly. He could only force out an awkward smile and agree.

Good thing he had tested the waters first. If she really found out who he was, wouldn't that be disastrous...?

In the last Immortal-Demon War, it had clearly been the Immortal Realm that provoked him first, yet everyone claimed that the Demon Realm had taken the initiative to invade the Immortal Realm...

And he had no way to explain that to Luo Ruying...

Even if he did explain, not only would he expose his identity, she would not believe him...

Sitting in Luo Ruying's arms, Luo Hongye lifted her head and asked curiously, "Mother, are all those devils bad people?"

"That's right~ They're all bad people!"

"They have four long fangs, two horns on top of their heads, and several eyes on their faces!"

"And what they love eating most are little children like Yeye!"

Luo Ruying said with a grave expression.

"Wuwuwu, Yeye doesn't taste good..."

Luo Hongye was thoroughly frightened by those words and hurriedly shrank fearfully into Luo Ruying's embrace.

Seeing this, Luo Ruying revealed a crafty smile as though her plan had succeeded. She gently stroked Luo Hongye's back and comforted her, "As long as Yeye listens obediently and stays by Mother and Father's side, you'll be fine."

"Mm-hm! Yeye will listen!"

Luo Hongye nodded obediently and said in a soft, sweet voice.

Luo Ruying smiled in satisfaction, then suddenly noticed Ning Yechen behind her repeatedly looking into a mirror. She could not help asking in confusion, "Why do you keep looking in the mirror?"

"Nothing..."

"Just checking whether I look scary..."

Ning Yechen put away the mirror, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness...

He did not have long fangs, horns, or several eyes...
