Vol. 1 - Chapter 12 - Just Remember It in Your Next Life
"Take the child and run! I'll stall it!" Luo Ruying said softly to Ning
Yechen after making up her mind.
This was the best option.
If Ning Yechen took their daughter and left first, she could focus on
fighting the dark-scaled dragon without any distractions.
Ning Yechen did not answer Luo Ruying. Instead, he picked up the
frightened Luo Hongye in a hug and patted her back gently. "Don't cry.
Daddy and Mommy are here. Everything will be okay."
Luo Hongye stopped crying and curled up in Ning Yechen's arms in fear.
Ning Yechen rubbed her head gently before raising his head to look at
the dark-scaled dragon coldly.
When the dark-scaled dragon saw Ning Yechen, it looked terrified, and
its threatening aura disappeared! It's him! He's actually the father of
this child! Oh no! I'm dead meat!
The dark-scaled dragon turned to run without the slightest hesitation!
Its massive form flew across the top of the forest at a shocking speed!
Luo Ruying was confused.
The dark-scaled dragon looked vicious just a moment ago, but it suddenly
escaped.
She did not expect the dark-scaled dragon could run so fast even without
taking its human form.
From its terrified expression, perhaps it felt threatened by her aura.
Luo Ruying found it perplexing, but this was the only reasonable
explanation she could come up with.
No matter what, she felt relieved that the dark-scaled dragon had taken
off.
Luo Ruying put away her heavenly sword and hurried to Luo Hongye to
check her injuries. "Yeye, are you okay?"
Fortunately, it was just a stumble. She had only sprained her foot and
gotten some scratches.
Luo Hongye, who had just calmed down, started crying again and lunged
into Luo Ruying's arms from Ning Yechen's. "Boohoo. Mommy!"
"It's okay. Don't cry. I'm here." Luo Ruying gently comforted Luo
Hongye.
She felt guilty about putting her daughter in a dangerous situation.
If she had been more careful, this would not have happened.
"Come on. Let's go home. It's dangerous here." Luo Ruying looked at Ning
Yechen.
Since their daughter had just gotten a fright, they naturally could not
continue having fun.
If they ran into some other monster beast, it would be unsafe.
"Dear, why don't you go back first with our daughter? I want to clear
the bugs near the orchard," Ning Yechen said to Luo Ruying gently and
then turned to walk into the forest.
Luo Ruying wanted to call Ning Yechen back and tell him to forget about
the bugs. Since there was a monster beast lurking here, this clearly
meant the vicinity was dangerous.
He was mortal. If he ran into any monster beast, it would be grave
danger for him.
But before Luo Ruying knew it, Ning Yechen had disappeared into the
forest.
***
In the mountain forest, a massive dark form flew swiftly through the
air.
The dark-scaled dragon did his utmost to flap his wings while turning
his head to check behind in fear.
He had accidentally touched someone under the protection of that man. It
was impossible for him to continue staying in the Monster Domain Forest!
If he did not leave now, he was dead!
"Where are you going?"
The moment the dark-scaled dragon turned around, a cold voice came from
in front.
It felt as if the God of Death was calling his name. The dark-scaled
dragon felt so cold that it was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"S-Sir... it was a misunderstanding. I really didn't know she was your
child!" The dark-scaled dragon stopped in front of Ning Yechen and
knelt, begging for mercy.
"It's okay. Just remember it in your next life." Ning Yechen raised his
hand out and clenched his fist gently.
The dark-scaled dragon's massive form of tens of meters instantly
contorted and shrank!
"S-Sir, no! AHHH!!!" The dark-scaled dragon wanted to continue begging
for mercy, but his body, which was as tough as steel, shrank into a
small ball!
"You scared my daughter and made her cry. I'm going easy on you by
killing you like this." Ning Yechen looked calmly at the small ball that
was the dark-scaled dragon. With a flick of his wrist, the ball turned
into dust.
Then he sent his voice out in all directions. "Chaos Demonic Bull, Titan
Giant Ape, Sky-Swallowing Python! Come here!"
Ning Yechen's voice was not loud as it rippled out with him as the
center.
Before long, three dark figures swiftly arrived from different
directions.
"S-Sir!" The three of them bowed reverently.
They kept their heads lowered with cold sweat dripping from their
foreheads. They did not dare to look Ning Yechen in the eye at all.
They knew very well that they could not afford to offend this man before
them.
In the past, there were over a hundred Monster Kings dwelling in the
Monster Domain Forest. But after he came, there were only four of them
remaining.
No, correction, it was down to the three of them.
They had secretly seen Ning Yechen squeezing the dark-scaled dragon to
death.
They could sense that he was not very happy today, so they were even
more afraid, and their legs were trembling.
They were worried that he might squeeze them to death as well if he
became upset.
They did not understand how the Dark-Scaled Dragon had managed to make
this man angry!
He had gotten them in deep trouble!
They cursed the dead Dark-Scaled Dragon inwardly.
Ning Yechen glanced at everyone coldly and said in a mild tone, "My wife
and daughter returned recently. Dark-Scaled Dragon not only scared my
daughter but even wanted to eat her, so I killed him."
"How dare Dark-Scaled Dragon touch your daughter! He deserves to die!"
the white-haired Titan Giant Ape said furiously.
"Exactly! If I knew, I would've slaughtered him personally without you
asking!" Chaos Demonic Bull, who had a muscular body of over six meters
tall, echoed exasperatedly
A woman with a thin snake-like waist nodded hurriedly in agreement.
"That's right. You were doing him a favor by killing him!"
"From the looks of it, you agree that he should die then?" Ning Yechen
asked.
"Of course!" the three Monsters Kings answered in unison.
"That's good. I'm worried about you scaring my daughter as well or
threatening her. Tell me. Do I need to get rid of you as well?"
Ning Yechen smiled and spoke gently without a hint of intimidation.
But the moment the three monsters heard what he said, they were
thunderstruck!
They knelt with a thud hurriedly and said with their bodies trembling,
"S-Sir, please spare us! We would never dare to offend your family!"
Ning Yechen contemplated without saying a word.
The three monsters did not dare to move and quietly waited for Ning
Yechen's decision.
Time passed second by second, feeling like forever.
This could be their final moments in the Mortal Realm.
After some time, Ning Yechen said, "Remember this and watch your people.
If any monster frightens my daughter, all of you will cease to exist."
Then Ning Yechen disappeared with a flash.
"Yes, Sir!" The three monsters stayed kneeling on the ground, not daring
to move a muscle. After an hour passed, they finally raised their heads
cautiously.
After confirming that Ning Yechen was really gone, they heaved a sigh of
relief with fear lingering in their hearts.
They felt glad to be alive.
From now on, they would never dare to go close to that wooden house.
It was simply terrifying.
