Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 331 : Let’s Continue What We Started Last Night

Chapter 331 - Let's Continue What We Started Last Night

The next morning.

Luo Ruying stood tall in mid-air, her expression uneasy as she looked at the surging shadow below.

After devouring the entire palace hall, the shadow had not spread any further, just rippling from time to time like the surface of water.

The others nearby had all been arranged by her to move far away, leaving only her and Yue Qingyou here.

A whole night had passed since Ning Yechen had been submerged in the shadow, yet there was still no sign of him emerging. This couldn't help but make Luo Ruying more and more anxious as she waited.

If it weren't for Yue Qingyou constantly comforting her by her side, assuring her that there would be absolutely no problem and that she just needed to wait quietly, she really would have been on the verge of rushing in to investigate.

Fortunately, after waiting not much longer, the shadow began to slowly recede like an ebbing tide.

Ning Yechen’s figure emerged from the center of the shadow, and the entire shadow, like a tide, retracted back into the one at his feet.

"Husband!" Luo Ruying hurriedly flew to Ning Yechen’s side, her beautiful eyes looking him up and down.

"Don't worry, my wife. Your husband is fine." Ning Yechen smiled faintly, spread his arms to show her, and looked up at the bright sky.

He hadn't expected to have been fighting in the Umbral Night Court for another entire night…

However, compared to the last time he went in for several days, this was considered a quick return.

"Husband, you should have told me about this kind of thing sooner!"

Luo Ruying lifted her head from Ning Yechen’s embrace and said, her eyes seeming to hold both blame and worry.

Previously, she had heard Ning Yechen speak of the terror of his ability, but at that time, he certainly hadn't told her that this ability would try to devour him along with everything else!

While she was waiting outside, it was Yue Qingyou who had told her in detail about this terrifying ability that could devour everything and make it his own.

"I'm sorry, my wife. I just didn't want to make you worry." Ning Yechen said with an apologetic smile.

Luo Ruying still pouted, her expression resentful as she stared at Ning Yechen. However, after confirming that he was alright, she also felt relieved.

"From now on, you're not allowed to hide anything from me!" Luo Ruying demanded in a stern voice, her beautiful brows furrowed.

"Yes~" Ning Yechen replied with a faint smile.

He didn't know if it was because she had merged with the memories of the past life's Luo Shen, or because her cultivation had stepped into the Transcendent Immortal realm, but his wife sometimes seemed a bit more assertive than before…

"Since I've returned, then my dear, we should continue the things we agreed on last night~"

Ning Yechen reached out and wrapped his arm around Luo Ruying’s waist, speaking in a soft voice.

"C-Continue last night's things…?"

"B-But it's already daytime…"

"L-Let's wait until tonight…”

Luo Ruying’s cheeks flushed red as she averted her head and said with extreme shyness.

This fellow, the moment he comes back, he brings this up…

The house has already been swallowed…

And besides, Qingyou is still right there…!

Improper!

"My wife wants to wait until tonight?"

"I still think it's quite good to do it during the day."

"Is that okay~?" Ning Yechen asked softly, drawing close to her face.

Luo Ruying’s face grew redder. She pursed her red lips and nodded lightly.

"A-Alright…"

"Then let's go, my wife." Ning Yechen released Luo Ruying’s waist and extended a hand with a smile.

"Hmm…? Go? Where to…?" Luo Ruying asked, her face full of confusion.

W-Weren't we going to, to do that…

"To the Judgment Divine Palace, to find Tianshu Xiu~"

"Has my wife forgotten what we agreed on last night?"

"Today, I'll accompany you." Ning Yechen said in a deadpan, serious tone.

"So Husband, you were referring to going to find Tianshu Xiu…?" Luo Ruying asked with a bewildered expression.

It seems she had misunderstood his intention…

"That's right. Otherwise, what did you think I was talking about~?"

The corners of Ning Yechen’s mouth turned up slightly, a roguishly charming smile on his face.

Luo Ruying: "..."

Luo Ruying’s pretty face instantly flushed hot. Both shy and angry, she bit her silver teeth and glared viciously at Ning Yechen.

She had been tricked again…!

"Hmph, Husband, you can just wait here!"

"I can go by myself!"

Luo Ruying let out a charming huff, took a light step, and transformed into a divine rainbow, flying away alone.

Not good, it seems I've made my wife angry…

Ning Yechen looked at the departing Luo Ruying with a helpless smile and instructed Yue Qingyou beside him:

"Qingyou, I'll leave things here to you."

"I'll be right back."

After speaking, Ning Yechen vanished in an instant, transforming into a divine rainbow.

"Demon Lord, take care~"

Yue Qingyou bowed slightly, watching Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying depart, a faint smile on her lips.

After returning from the Immortal Realm Trials, the relationship between the Demon Lord and the Madam seems to have gotten better and better…

That's wonderful.

……

Inside the Judgment Divine Palace.

Tianshu Xiu sat in the center of the conference hall, his brows tightly furrowed, his face full of worry.

The several others around him wore similarly worried and tense expressions.

Early in the morning, they had received news that the demon clan had annihilated the Lanling Clan…

The perpetrators were the great Demon God Generals, who held seats among the thirteen Demon Gods of the Demon Realm. The entire Lanling Clan was destroyed without any power to resist.

And it was said that this was the Demon Lord's order…

The moment the others heard this, they didn't dare to rashly interfere or stop it…

This was what was giving Tianshu Xiu the biggest headache.

Since it was the Demon Lord's order, it meant the Lanling Clan must have offended the Demon Lord somewhere, or someone close to him…

He felt not a shred of pity for the Lanling Clan's demise. He had already given them a thousand warnings and a million instructions, yet they still provoked the Demon Lord, not knowing life from death. There was nothing more to be said.

His worry was whether the Demon Lord's anger had subsided, and whether it would implicate others in the Heavenly Realm…

Perhaps I should find some time today to go to the Luo Shen Palace and proactively apologize to the Demon Lord…?

Sigh…

The things that had been vexing him recently were truly piling up like a mountain…

Tianshu Xiu let out a long sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Ten days ago, the passage to the Immortal Realm Trials had suddenly opened on its own, and he had sensed something was wrong. The trials, which in previous years had lasted for at least several years, had opened early this time after less than a month.

Even from his position in the Judgment Divine Palace, he could feel the instability of the passage and the shattering of the Heavenly Dao's restraints within. He had realized that something major must have happened inside.

Originally, he had planned to go in personally to investigate and quell the disturbance. But he had heard the Demon Lord was fighting someone inside, so after some thought, he decided against it…

To be able to fight the Demon Lord, the opponent was surely also a Transcendent Immortal expert…!

With two Transcendent Immortals fighting, the Immortal Realm Trials would inevitably be destroyed. Even if he went, it would be of no use…

He just never, ever thought that even the ancient restriction barrier of the Immortal Realm Trials could not stop the Demon Lord…

Tianshu Xiu leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, feeling utterly exhausted.

Since he had stepped into the Transcendent Immortal realm, this was the first time he had felt so mentally and physically weary.

He didn't know when the Demon Lord and his subordinates would finally return to the Demon Realm…

And he couldn't very well proactively ask…

Just as Tianshu Xiu was feeling vexed, a guard hurriedly ran in from outside, his expression panicked and flustered as he said:

"L-Lord Tianshu Xiu!"

"The De-Demon Lord is here again!"

"He says he wants to see you…!”
