Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 368 : Besides Mother, I Only Have One Person...

Chapter 368 - Besides Mother, I Only Have One Person...

Xiyao's gaze shifted to Ning Yechen, who was lying on the rocking chair not far away, enjoying the sunbath with his eyes narrowed.

The Demon Lord was still here, so it was not a good time to make a move...

To wait for a time when the Demon Lord, Luo Ruying, and Yue Qingyou were all away from Luo Hongye's side was truly difficult. From her observations over the past few days, she had basically found no opportunity to take Luo Hongye away.

Should I just try to take her by force?

A trace of hesitation arose in Xiyao's heart.

And just at this moment, Ning Yechen suddenly stretched and slowly stood up from the rocking chair, walking towards the room.

"My dear wife, your husband is here to help you~"

A good opportunity!

Seeing Ning Yechen also leave the courtyard, Xiyao's heart couldn't help but leap with joy.

Now that Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, and Yue Qingyou were all away, it was the perfect chance to take the child!

Hmph! As parents, they are far too unguarded with their own child!

Although Erxia was still lying in front of Luo Hongye, that demonic beast alone could not stop her!

Just as Xiyao raised her hand, preparing to snatch Luo Hongye beside her, a sparkling immortal fruit was suddenly presented to her.

"Big Sister Xi~ For you~"

"One for Ye Ye, one for you~"

Luo Hongye's tender little hands held a massive immortal fruit and passed it to Xiyao.

Xiyao stared blankly at the immortal fruit before her. After a moment's hesitation, she still reached out and accepted it from Luo Hongye.

Seeing Xiyao take it, Luo Hongye smiled happily, picked up the other immortal fruit she was holding, wiped it on her clothes, and then took a bite, revealing a satisfied and happy smile.

"So yummy~"

Luo Hongye said with a happy laugh, swinging her tender little legs as she chewed on the fruit. From time to time, she would break off a small piece and feed it to the Jade Qilin on her shoulder and Erxia, who was resting in front of her.

Xiyao looked down at the immortal fruit in her hand, lost in thought. This was the first time she had ever received a gift proactively given to her by someone else…

"Big Sister Xi, don't you like this?"

"This is what Daddy and Mommy gave to Ye Ye. It's really delicious~!"

"Mommy said we can't be picky eaters!"

Luo Hongye had already eaten most of her fruit. Seeing that Xiyao was still just holding hers, she couldn't help but put on a serious little face and persuade her.

Xiyao touched the immortal fruit in her hand, raised it to her lips, and after a moment's hesitation, in the end, she couldn't bear to take a bite…

"Ye Ye, your mommy and daddy are so good to you…"

Xiyao put down the fruit in her hand, a trace of envy involuntarily appearing on her face, something even she herself didn't notice at that moment.

"Mmm-hmm~! Daddy and Mommy are the best daddy and mommy in the world~!"

"Daddy and Mommy love Ye Ye the most~"

The moment her parents were mentioned, Luo Hongye lifted her little head without hesitation and said with a face full of happiness.

"Nonsense!"

"The best person in the world is my mother!"

"No one can compare to my mother!"

Hearing this, Xiyao's brows furrowed slightly, and she retorted with a displeased expression.

"That's not true!"

"It's Ye Ye's daddy and mommy~!"

Luo Hongye furrowed her delicate little brows and argued with a dissatisfied pout.

Xiyao, not to be outdone, also furrowed her brows and glared at Luo Hongye. The two of them stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

After a short staring contest, the two of them, as if in a fit of pique, simultaneously averted their heads and ignored each other, just like two squabbling children...

Luo Hongye puffed out her cheeks, sulking as she chewed on her immortal fruit.

Xiyao secretly glanced at Luo Hongye beside her, and a strange, unprecedented feeling inexplicably arose in her heart…

For some reason, she felt a little regretful for having made Luo Hongye angry… She wanted to say something to ease the tension between them, but when she opened her mouth, no words would come out…

What should she say in this situation...? She had never experienced this before.

After a moment of silence, it was Luo Hongye who was the first to turn around and suggest sweetly:

"Mmm... Ye Ye doesn't want to fight with Big Sister Xi..."

"Ye Ye's daddy and mommy are the best people in Ye Ye's heart!"

"Big Sister Xi's mother is the best person in Big Sister Xi's heart!"

"Okay...?"

"Mmm...!" Xiyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.

"Then Big Sister Xi has made up with Ye Ye~"

Luo Hongye happily drew close to Xiyao and asked with an expectant little face.

Xiyao was startled and hurriedly drew back, putting a little distance between herself and Luo Hongye. If Luo Hongye were to touch the Woe Demon Poison spots on her body, that would be terrible...!

"Is Big Sister Xi still angry with Ye Ye...?"

Seeing Xiyao suddenly draw back, Luo Hongye thought she was still angry and asked sadly, her little face falling.

Xiyao hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head.

"That's not it..."

"I'm not angry with you, Ye Ye."

"It's just... my body is very dangerous..."

"No problem, Ye Ye will be careful~"

"Then Big Sister Xi isn't angry with Ye Ye~?”

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Luo Hongye smiled happily and sweetly again.

"Mmm… I'm not." Xiyao replied with a smile.

"Heehee~ Big Sister Xi finally smiled~" Luo Hongye laughed.

Xiyao was startled, reaching up in disbelief to touch the corners of her own mouth.

Did I just smile...? This was also the first time she had smiled in front of anyone besides her mother...

"Big Sister Xi, these are from Ye Ye's grandpa and grandma for Ye Ye. They're really delicious too~!"

Luo Hongye, on her own, took out various immortal medicines and spirit fruits from her immortal ring, stuffed them into Xiyao's hands, and happily shared them with her.

"Ye Ye, you have a grandpa and grandma too...?"

Xiyao asked in a daze, looking at the various immortal medicines and spirit fruits in her hands. These were all things she had never had...

Luo Hongye didn't notice Xiyao's desolate expression. While taking out her hidden little snacks, she replied with a smile:

"Mmm-hmm! Grandpa and Grandma are really good to Ye Ye too~!"

"There's also Big Sister Yue, Big Sister Kui, Big Sister Cai... hmm... and lots and lots of other people!"

"And Ye Ye also has Little Yu~ Big Kitty~ Little Kitty~!"

Luo Hongye counted on her fingers, naming them one by one.

Because there were just too many people, her ten fingers weren't enough. Then she stroked the Jade Qilin on her shoulder and Erxia in front of her. When she wanted to point to Shadow, she found that the little kitty beside her had disappeared somewhere again...

Sometimes, she just couldn't find the little kitty...

Xiyao listened quietly as Luo Hongye named one person after another, her expression involuntarily showing envy and desolation.

"How nice..."

"Besides Mother, I only have one person..."

"Mmm-hmm... then can Ye Ye's daddy and mommy also be Big Sister Xi's daddy and mommy, okay~?"

"That way, Daddy and Mommy will also be your daddy and mommy, Big Sister Xi~!"

Luo Hongye looked at Xiyao's sad and desolate expression. Her little brain turned, and she came up with a good idea.

Xiyao looked at Luo Hongye, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, a helpless smile on her lips.

Such innocent words from a child.

Little did she know, the shadow that had been secretly writhing at Xiyao's feet slowly returned to calm...

Shadow slipped back into the room to Ning Yechen's feet and climbed onto him.

Ning Yechen looked slightly surprised, his gaze turning to Xiyao and Luo Hongye outside the room.

Even with things like this, she still didn't choose to make a move...?
