Chapter 37: She Looks Like a Very Gentle Person

The black-clothed figures reacted, temporarily abandoning Zhang He on the ground, and quickly aimed their swords at Luo Ruying.

Seeing this, Luo Ruying sighed lightly, then her expression turned serious, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Since they wouldn't leave, she couldn't be blamed!

The black-clothed assassins exchanged glances and leaped into the air simultaneously, swinging their swords at Luo Ruying!

Luo Ruying didn't move. The moment the black-clothed assassins got close, her figure gracefully cut through the air in a beautiful arc.

A silver, full-moon-shaped sword light flashed through!

When Luo Ruying sheathed the Immortal Sword, the black-clothed assassins simultaneously burst into blood mist in mid-air, falling to the ground one after another!

Ning Yechen, who had been hiding nearby, had already raised his hand to cover Luo Hongye's eyes.

He couldn't let this bloody scene scare his daughter...

If his wife found out, she would definitely be angry too...

With her eyes covered, Luo Hongye twisted her head and asked softly and confusedly:

"Daddy, your hand is blocking Yeye."

"Yeye can't see."

"Yeye, Daddy will play a little game with you now."

"How about Yeye close her eyes, and we see who opens them last, okay?" Ning Yechen coaxed Luo Hongye with a smile.

"Okay, okay~"

"Daddy, did you close your eyes too?"

Hearing that it was a game, Luo Hongye didn't doubt him at all and actively closed her eyes tightly.

"Of course, Daddy has already closed his eyes."

Ning Yechen smiled.

However, he hadn't closed his eyes at all...

The naive Luo Hongye was completely in the dark...

Meanwhile.

Qi Yuan stared at Luo Ruying's heroic posture, dumbfounded. Her eyes were filled with admiration for her elegant and beautiful movements, as well as her powerful strength.

So, so amazing...!

With just one sword, she had killed several experts in the Martial Spirit Realm!

And she was so beautiful too...

As women, Qi Yuan felt deeply ashamed when comparing her appearance and cultivation to Luo Ruying.

After sheathing the Immortal Sword, Luo Ruying slowly walked in front of Qi Yuan and extended her hand, bowing her waist.

"Are you alright?"

"I, I'm fine..."

"Thank you for saving me, Sister!"

Qi Yuan took Luo Ruying's hand and got up, expressing her gratitude.

"Sis, Sister...?"

Luo Ruying was momentarily stunned by the address.

She wasn't young anymore...

She could be her grandmother...

Seeing Luo Ruying's surprised expression, Qi Yuan quickly waved her hands apologetically.

"Sorry, did I offend you?"

Seeing Luo Ruying's youthful and beautiful appearance, she had blurted out "Sister" subconsciously.

Now she felt it was a bit too familiar.

The other party didn't know her, so calling her sister so presumptuously was impolite.

Luo Ruying smiled slightly and slowly shook her head.

"It's alright."

"It's just a name."

"Then... can I keep calling you Sister?"

Qi Yuan asked expectantly.

Luo Ruying did not refuse and nodded slightly.

"That's great!"

"May I ask your name, sister?"

Qi Yuan, dancing with joy, asked, holding Luo Ruying's hand.

"My name is Luo Ruying,"

Luo Ruying replied calmly.

"Sister Luo, are you also heading to Nanli Capital City?"

Qi Yuan's beautiful eyes flickered as she pressed on.

The closest and most famous city here was Nanli Capital City.

Those who appeared in this vicinity were generally heading for Nanli Capital City.

Luo Ruying was also planning to find a town to live in seclusion, so she nodded along with Qi Yuan's words.

"Yes, my husband and I are preparing to head to Nanli Capital City with our child."

"Husband?! Child?"

"Sister Luo, you, you're married?"

Qi Yuan's mouth fell open in surprise at the words.

Looking at Luo Ruying's appearance, she couldn't have guessed that she was already a wife...

However, it was true that cultivators' ages were difficult to judge by appearance.

But which man was lucky enough to marry a woman as beautiful as Sister Luo...?

Luo Ruying's cheeks flushed slightly as she nodded with a smile.

It was the first time she had admitted to being a wife in front of others.

Just as Qi Yuan was about to ask more questions, rustling sounds suddenly came from the bushes behind Luo Ruying.

Qi Yuan immediately frowned, gripping her long sword vigilantly.

Luo Ruying also turned her head.

However, she had already sensed the arrival and made no move.

Ning Yechen slowly emerged from the bushes, holding Luo Hongye, with a charming smile on his face.

"Wife, I haven't seen you back in a long time, and I was worried about you, so I brought Yeye over."

Qi Yuan was so captivated by Ning Yechen's sudden appearance that she couldn't help but stare blankly.

Her initial wariness was completely forgotten at this moment...

She had never seen such a handsome man before...

His face was adorned with a gentle and approachable smile, and he possessed an ethereal, unrestrained, and elegant demeanor, yet also a calm and composed temperament that suggested he was unfazed by anything.

He looked like a very gentle person...

Qi Yuan had initially wondered which man had struck it lucky to win Luo Ruying's heart.

But the moment she saw Ning Yechen, she suddenly felt that the two were truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Standing together, looking closely, they inexplicably seemed to have a marital resemblance...

"Why did you bring Yeye over?"

Luo Ruying glared at Ning Yechen with a hint of reproach when she saw him carrying their child.

With a wave of her arm, she quickly concealed all the corpses around them.

This scene could not be seen by the child...

Luo Ruying reached out and took Luo Hongye from Ning Yechen's arms. Seeing that her eyes were still tightly closed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeye, you can open your eyes now."

"No, Mommy."

"Hmm? Why?"

Luo Ruying asked, puzzled.

"Yeye is playing a game with Daddy, seeing who can open their eyes later."

Luo Hongye said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ruying knew it must be Ning Yechen's trick to fool Luo Hongye into closing her eyes, and she shot him another glare.

That guy definitely hadn't closed his eyes at all from beginning to end...

But it was good that the child hadn't seen any bloody scenes.

"Yeye can open her eyes now."

"Your daddy has already lost."

"Really?"

"Yeye won~"

Luo Hongye opened her eyes and happily raised her hands.

Suddenly, she saw Qi Yuan, who was standing next to Luo Ruying, staring intently at her. She quickly and timidly snuggled back into Luo Ruying's embrace.

"Don't be scared, Yeye. She's not a bad person."

Luo Ruying gently stroked Luo Hongye's back and turned her head to say apologetically to Qi Yuan:

"Sorry, Yeye is a little shy around strangers."

"N-no, it's okay..."

"It seems I scared her..."

Qi Yuan quickly averted her gaze, saying apologetically.

She didn't mean to scare Luo Hongye, but she really couldn't help herself...

Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen had already amazed her, and she hadn't expected their child to be so adorable!

She was so exquisite, like a delicate and charming porcelain doll!

She really couldn't help but look a couple more times...

"Sister Luo, Uncle Zhang and I are also heading back to Nanli Capital City. Why don't we travel together?"

"Our carriage isn't far ahead."

"As a thank you, please let me give you a ride."

Qi Yuan helped the severely injured Zhang He up from the ground and turned her head to say to Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying thought for a moment and didn't refuse.

They weren't far from Nanli Capital City anymore.

It would be good to travel by carriage to avoid attracting attention.
