Crippled His Third Leg

Jiang Li and the others were shocked.

In an instant, they felt a spiritual pressure and aura that they couldn't possibly block!

The powerful and terrifying pressure directly knocked Jiang Li and the others to the ground!

Just as Luo Ruying was about to teach Jiang Li a more profound lesson, a figure suddenly leaped out from who knows where, blocking in front of Jiang Li and the others.

It was an old man with a head full of white hair and sharp eyes with a hooked nose.

The old man extended a pair of withered hands, forcefully blocking the aura Luo Ruying unleashed. He retreated several steps, almost being knocked to the ground!

What powerful pressure!

This young lady appears to be young, but her cultivation is at least at the Immortal Transformation Realm, just like mine!

Perhaps even higher than mine!

"Miss, my young master meant no offense, and I hope you won't take it to heart."

"My Jiang Family will definitely prepare a generous gift and visit you another day."

Zhao Zhuohao cupped his hands and said politely to Luo Ruying.

This was because he predicted that Luo Ruying's cultivation and strength were above his, and he might not be a match for this young lady before him!

Luo Ruying frowned slightly, withdrew her aura, and said indifferently:

"Are you his guardian?"

A guardian, as the name suggests, is usually a personal bodyguard specifically assigned by major families to ensure the safety of their outstanding descendants.

Guardians typically hide around their protected target and appear when the target is in danger.

Luo Ruying simply hadn't expected that a scumbag like Jiang Li would even have a guardian.

It seemed the Jiang Family's strength was indeed considerable.

Zhao Zhuohao nodded, admitting his identity as a guardian.

"Old Zhao, this matter cannot be let go just like that!"

"Quickly capture her for this young master!"

His legs had gone weak, and he had fallen to the ground. Jiang Li, enraged, pointed at Luo Ruying and ordered.

In Nanli City, he had never suffered such humiliation!

"Young Master, the Family Head is already waiting for you to return."

"If the Family Head waits too long, the elders will get angry again."

Zhao Zhuohao turned around and persuaded Jiang Li.

He knew his young master's personality very well and knew he wouldn't let this matter go. Thus, he leaned closer to his ear and whispered:

"Young Master, that woman is not easy to deal with."

"If you like her, this old man will find a way to get her for you in the future. Let's forget about it for today."

Jiang Li stared at Luo Ruying with a sinister expression, unwilling to let it go.

But upon hearing Zhao Zhuohao's promise to get this woman for him later, Jiang Li couldn't help but reveal a lustful glint in his eyes, licking his lips.

Fine, I'll spare this woman for now!

When she falls into my hands, I'll make her pay!

"Let's go!"

Jiang Li got up and angrily shouted to the guards behind him.

As he was leaving, he cast an extra, meaningful glance at Luo Ruying.

A married woman...

That's even more flavorful~

Zhao Zhuohao put on a hypocritical smile of apology towards Luo Ruying, then followed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"I'm sorry, Sister Luo, Brother Ning, for making you uncomfortable..."

Qi Yuan bowed and apologized to Luo Ruying.

Jiang Li had clearly come targeting her. If she hadn't insisted on following, Luo Ruying and the others wouldn't have gotten involved.

Although Luo Ruying felt helpless, she still shook her head and indicated it was alright.

If it weren't for considering Luo Hongye and Ning Yechen, just based on Jiang Li's dirty gaze, she would have killed him directly!

If things could end here, then so be it.

If he dared to offend her again, she would no longer hold back!

"Let's go too."

Luo Ruying turned and called out to Ning Yechen.

However, she saw Ning Yechen looking at her with a silly, grinning smile...

"What's wrong with you...?"

Luo Ruying asked in surprise.

"Your husband is fine, I'm just very happy that my wife is finally willing to call me husband again~"

Ning Yechen leaned his face close to Luo Ruying's and smiled.

He had been very angry just now, but when he heard Luo Ruying say, "My husband is not someone you can insult," his heart instantly bloomed with joy.

This was the second time Luo Ruying had called him by the affectionate term "husband" since she last asked him to take the child and flee.

Luo Ruying's cheeks couldn't help but blush as she recalled her earlier words.

She had blurted them out in anger when Jiang Li called Ning Yechen "pretty boy."

Thinking back now, she felt a bit embarrassed...

But between husband and wife, this was a normal way to address each other, right? Was he really this happy over just one sentence...?

Qi Yuan, standing beside them, stared blankly at Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying looking at each other, and couldn't help but sigh:

Sister Luo and her husband have such a good relationship...

But why does their relationship seem a bit... green?

They even have a child...

"Can my wife call me husband like that in the future?"

Ning Yechen asked with a smile, clinging to Luo Ruying's side.

Luo Ruying's cheeks flushed a vibrant red, like blooming roses, and she softly mumbled:

"If... if there's a chance in the future, I'll try..."

It was still a bit embarrassing for her to call Ning Yechen "husband" so casually.

But seeing how happy Ning Yechen was, she couldn't bring herself to refuse, only shyly postponing it to the future.

Once she got used to it, she would naturally change her address...

Ning Yechen smiled slightly. Although he was a little regretful, he wasn't in a hurry. He took Luo Ruying's hand and they continued to stroll down the street.

No rush, there's plenty of time ahead~

Luo Ruying held the child in one arm and let Ning Yechen hold her other hand. The family of three looked exceptionally warm and loving.

Qi Yuan, walking behind them, suddenly felt too awkward to join them...

Was she being a bit redundant here...?

As Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying walked through the street, they brushed past three figures wearing bamboo hats.

The three figures sat at a stall eating, with their backs to Ning Yechen's group.

As Ning Yechen's group walked by, the faces of the three great Demon Kings from the Demon Realm were revealed from beneath their bamboo hats.

That's right, they were the three Chaos Demon Bulls who had followed Ning Yechen!

The three of them had been secretly tailing Ning Yechen, always waiting for his instructions.

They had seen everything that had just happened.

When they saw Jiang Li being disrespectful to Luo Ruying and daring to call their lord "pretty boy," the three of them were terrified!

They were genuinely worried that their lord would get angry and flatten Nanli City...

The Sky Swallowing Python, pretending to eat, did not look at Ning Yechen. Instead, she transmitted her voice to him coldly:

"My Lord! Do you need us to kill all those who offended you just now?"

"Don't kill that Jiang Li, just cripple his third leg."

"Kill all the others."

"Remember not to cause too much of a commotion, don't disturb my wife and child's outing."

Ning Yechen's eyes narrowed slightly as he replied indifferently.

It was as if he were instructing them on a mundane matter.

Receiving the instructions, the three of them, including the Sky Swallowing Python, silently stood up from the stall and walked towards Jiang Li's group...

The Sky Swallowing Python and the others were puzzled as to why their lord only wanted to cripple that person's third leg and not kill him.

Upon careful consideration, they realized their lord likely intended to deal with him personally, and they couldn't help but start pitying that Jiang Li...

Dying by their hands would at least be a quick end.

But at their lord's hands, that was not guaranteed
