My Wife Is Quite Charming~

"Mother~!"

Luo Hongye swiftly dove into Luo Ruying's embrace.

Luo Ruying stroked Luo Hongye's head, her eyes brimming with tenderness and affection.

Ning Yechen gave a faint smile, rose, and left to decoct the medicine.

By the time Ning Yechen returned, Luo Hongye was already fast asleep in Luo Ruying's arms.

"Here, drink your medicine."

Ning Yechen carried the bowl to the bedside, holding it in one hand while gently propping Luo Ruying up with the other.

Too weak to even sit upright, Luo Ruying could only lean against Ning Yechen's chest.

"By the way... what's your name?"

Luo Ruying asked, her voice frail and tinged with embarrassment as she leaned on him.

She had brought her child to demand he take responsibility, yet she didn't even know his name...

"Ning Yechen."

"And you, my wife?"

Ning Yechen said with a smile.

"W-Wife...?"

Hearing the address, a flush crept across Luo Ruying's pale cheeks, and her expression grew awkward.

She wasn't used to this form of address...

Having once been a female sovereign, being called this now felt strange to her heart...

"Is that not right?"

"You and I have shared the bond of husband and wife, and we have a child together—shouldn't I call you my wife?"

"You can call me 'husband' too~"

Ning Yechen said brazenly, as if it were the most natural thing.

Since she was his woman, from now on she would be his wife.

Though it was sudden, there was still a joy in his heart at suddenly gaining a wife and becoming a father.

Luo Ruying found no words to refute him, so she silently accepted his address.

After all, she likely had little time left—she might as well let him have his way and be his wife for a few days...

But she truly couldn't bring herself to call him "husband"...

"This Sovereign... I am Luo Ruying..."

Luo Ruying instinctively started to call herself "This Sovereign," but then softly corrected herself and gave her name.

She was no longer the female sovereign of the Immortal Realm...

From this moment, the two truly came to know each other...

Ning Yechen smiled faintly, scooped up a spoonful of the medicinal broth, blew it cool, and brought it to Luo Ruying's lips.

"Wife, drink your medicine—ah~"

Luo Ruying didn't open her mouth to drink right away. Instead, she gazed at Luo Hongye in her arms, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ning Yechen with solemn earnestness.

"If I'm no longer here, I entrust this child to you!"

She wanted to settle everything while her injuries were stable, entrusting it all to Ning Yechen!

She knew her own wounds best.

Her meridians were damaged, her heart and bone torn away—mere mortal Mountain Herbs could do nothing to heal her, utterly useless.

So drinking or not made no difference.

"Alright, alright, I understand. Now drink your medicine."

Ning Yechen said dismissively, just to get her to take the medicine quickly.

Her entreaty was wasted breath, because once she drank this medicine, nothing would be wrong with her at all...

Seeing how perfunctorily he replied, Luo Ruying furrowed her brows, her expression turning displeased and disappointed.

She was already in this state, entrusting her final affairs, yet he acted as if he couldn't care less!

"Are you even listening... mmmph..."

Just as Luo Ruying opened her mouth to say more, Ning Yechen seized the chance to shove the spoon into her mouth...

The medicinal broth he had specially prepared was rare and precious even in the Immortal Realm!

Its effects spread quickly—it couldn't be wasted.

Forced to swallow the medicine, Luo Ruying was about to get angry when she suddenly sensed something amiss and froze.

She could feel a vast surge of Herb Spirits spreading through her body, coursing through every part of her!

His entire body felt as if wrapped in a warm current, and the injuries on him healed in the blink of an eye, even the meridians within him were repairing themselves at an astonishing speed!

What... what kind of medicine was this brewed from...?

How could it possess such overwhelming and astonishing medicinal power?!

Even in the Immortal Realm, she had never drunk a medicinal decoction so brimming with potency!

How could the human realm have such precious herbs to brew a decoction like this?

"This... what medicine is this...?"

Luo Ruying couldn't help but ask.

"Uh... it's just some Mountain Herb I picked casually in the mountains..."

"Come on, don't waste it, drink it while it's hot."

Ning Yechen felt a bit guilty inside and quickly scooped up another spoonful of the decoction, feeding it to Luo Ruying's lips.

A mere 'mortal' like him coming up with a pile of precious Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine was indeed hard to explain...

Luo Ruying was half-convinced—how could an ordinary mountain forest possibly have such precious 'Mountain Herb'?

Just from what she could taste, there were at least several immortal medicines of a thousand or even ten thousand years in grade!

But to not waste the precious medicinal effects, Luo Ruying temporarily set aside her questions and obediently opened her mouth to drink every spoonful of decoction Ning Yechen fed her.

This was the first time she had ever been cared for like this...

And the other party was a mortal...

Ning Yechen also enjoyed the process of feeding her the medicine, and life suddenly seemed to have gained a lot more pleasure...

Luo Ruying gently parted her cherry-red lips, taking the spoon into her mouth, greedily licking it clean, not wasting a single drop...

Who knew feeding medicine could be this interesting...

Luo Ruying noticed Ning Yechen's gaze and lifted her brows in confusion, asking:

"Hm? What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

"I just think my Wife is quite charming~"

Ning Yechen praised bluntly.

"Im... impudent...!"

This direct hit caught Luo Ruying off guard, and whether it was the effect of the medicine or not, her cheeks flushed with a layer of red. She bit her red lips lightly and lowered her eyes again.

If it were before, she would have angrily rebuked him as a reckless scoundrel for daring to speak frivolously to her, and then punished him.

But now, there was an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.

Not particularly angry...

"Wife, can you tell your husband what happened?"

After feeding Luo Ruying another spoonful, Ning Yechen took the chance to ask.

If he could get any clues from Luo Ruying's mouth, it would make things much easier...

Luo Ruying's expression darkened, and she shook her head very firmly and decisively.

"Just this one thing, please don't ask anymore..."

"The less you know, the better, or it will be very dangerous for you!"

Luo Ruying didn't want Ning Yechen to get involved in her affairs.

Even if he knew, what could he do?

She didn't sense a trace of cultivation or spiritual power from him—a mere mortal with no cultivation, how could he possibly contend with the forces of the Immortal Realm?

She wasn't telling him because she didn't want him to be drawn into danger.

Although he knew Luo Ruying probably wouldn't tell him, Ning Yechen still felt a pang of regret.

If he knew which faction in the Immortal Realm it was, he could directly launch a precise strike...

The Immortal Realm Divine Domain was vast, with countless sacred lands, divine palaces and sects everywhere, and hidden clans deeply concealed—finding them would be a real hassle...

It seemed he'd have to go to the Immortal Realm himself!

After finishing feeding the medicine, Ning Yechen gently laid Luo Ruying flat on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and covered both her and Luo Hongye.

Having consumed the immense medicinal power of the immortal medicine, Luo Ruying soon felt drowsy and fell into a deep sleep, her body continuing to absorb the medicinal energy within.

Ning Yechen caressed her cheek with a pang of tenderness, then stood up and walked out of the house. With a leap, he transformed into a streak of pitch-black divine rainbow, shooting straight up into the nine heavens!

The barrier between the human realm and the Immortal Realm shattered in that moment!

A hundred years later, Immortal Realm, I'm back!
