Vol. 1 - Chapter 63 - Too Much
“From now on, this will be your room. If you need anything, just let me know,” Luo Ruying said kindly after taking Yue Qingyou to choose a room in the residence.
“Thank you, Madam.” Yue Qingyou bowed slightly in gratitude.
With every movement, she exuded elegance and respect.
This made Luo Ruying more curious about Ning Yechen’s family.
What kind of family had the ability to groom such an excellent and courteous maid?
Ning Yechen had been following Luo Ruying closely, always on guard against Yue Qingyou doing or saying anything strange.
Yue Qingyou stayed with Luo Ruying the entire time, so he did not have the chance to speak to her privately.
She even disregarded the order he gave using voice transmission!
She seemed confident that he would not touch her in front of Luo Ruying!
At this moment, Luo Hongye, lying in Luo Ruying’s arms, said softly, “Mommy, I'm hungry…”
“Dear, why don’t you go and prepare some food for Yeye? I will take care of the rest,” Ning Yechen promptly interrupted when the chance came and pushed Luo Ruying out of the door.
“Okay. You two can chat.”
Luo Ruying thought about how Ning Yechen had not seen Yue Qingyou in a long time, so she knew they had a lot to catch up on and did not take it to heart. She took Luo Hongye and turned to leave.
“I can help, Madam.” Yue Qingyou wanted to help.
But Ning Yechen immediately stopped her. “You stay! I have something to say to you!”
After confirming that Luo Ruying was gone, Ning Yechen closed the door and looked at Yue Qingyou sternly. “Why are you here?”
Yue Qingyou touched her chest and said reverently, “To serve you and your family.”
“I am no longer the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, so you don’t need to follow me. I don't need your service either. Just leave!” Ning Yechen said to Yue Qingyou gravely.
With them around, how could his family lead an ordinary and secluded life?
Yue Qingyou’s expression became serious as she knelt on one knee with her hand still on her chest. She raised her head and looked at Ning Yechen solemnly. “You are the one and only lord of the Demon Realm! We swore to follow you for life that day! If you want us to leave, you have to kill us first!”
Ning Yechen narrowed his eyes as he raised his palm. The void around Yue Qingyou began to twist!
She was unfazed and had no intention of resisting.
After a brief hesitation, Ning Yechen sighed helplessly and compromised. “Get up.”
Sometimes, he did not know what to do about his overly loyal subordinates.
He wanted to retire but could not do it.
He clearly told them not to look for him, but they searched for him for over a century.
They were loyal subordinates, so he could not bring himself to kill them.
Yue Qingyou must have known he would not touch them!
So he really had no way to deal with her. That was what made him most angry!
“Thank you, Demon Lord.” Yue Qingyou smiled candidly and got up as though nothing had happened.
“Tell me, how many people from the Demon Realm did you bring?” Ning Yechen sat on a chair with one hand leaning on his cheek. His face was cold and lofty, just like when he was the Demon Lord.
Seeing Ning Yechen’s reaction, Yue Qingyou felt happy inside. “Demon Lord, I have ordered the Thirteen Demon Gods to come to the Mortal Realm. I have also mobilized the 1st, 3rd, and 6th Legions, and they will arrive in a few days! The legion leaders and your personal guards and secret guards will also arrive one after another! Arrangements have been made for them to conceal themselves in the city and await your orders! We will definitely keep the madam and little princess safe! Of course, we won't disturb your lives.”
Ning Yechen did not know what to say.
“You are already disturbing me!” He rubbed his forehead.
Thirteen Demon Gods and three legions made up nearly a million people!
This was excluding the secret and personal guards!
They did not seem like they were just here to protect him. Instead, it seemed as though they were invading the Mortal Realm!
No way could he lead a peaceful life!
Ning Yechen glanced at Yue Qingyou and ordered coldly, “Keep the city detail at the minimum and send the legions back!”
The number of personnel Yue Qingyou transferred was enough to take over the Mortal Realm.
She hesitated briefly and asked, “Demon Lord, are you sure that will be enough security?”
“We are safe enough. That’s too much! It's enough with just you and me,” Ning Yechen replied speechlessly.
He was doing well alone and did not need any protection, but Yue Qingyou had brought so many people over.
Just the Demon Gods alone were at the Heavenly Emperor realm. Moreover, Yue Qingyou came here personally.
Hearing the last sentence, Yue Qingyou felt Ning Yechen’s deep trust in her. She smiled and nodded in agreement. “As you wish, Demon Lord.“
“For now, you can stay here and serve as your maid.”
Since he could not drive her away, he decided to keep her around temporarily.
Yue Qingyou was a smart and serious woman. Even if she stayed, she likely would not disturb his life.
Moreover, he would feel more at ease with her by Luo Ruying and their daughter’s side.
Meng Niu, Qiang Se, and Bai Yun simply could not compare to her.
“I have always been your personal maid,” Yue Qingyou refuted Ning Yechen solemnly.
He could not be bothered arguing with her. He called Meng Niu and the others over and ordered, “From now on, when I’m not around, you will obey her orders.”
“Yes, Sir!” Meng Niu, Qiang Se, and Bai Yun bowed respectfully.
They had already discovered Ning Yechen’s true identity as the Demon Lord. Also, they had experienced Yue Qingyou's abilities first-hand. So they had no objections.
Yue Qingyou looked at the three and turned to Ning Yechen. “Demon Lord, even if you wanted pets, you could have found stronger ones. They are too weak to be of any use. They can't even compare to the hell hounds that guard your palace in the Demon Realm. Do you want me to get you some new ones from the Demon Realm?”
Meng Niu, Qiang Se, and Bai Yun trembled uncontrollably and looked at Ning Yechen tearfully.
If Ning Yechen did not want to keep them around, did this mean they would be disposed of?
They might be weak, but they were not completely useless, right?
They had already mastered the skills of washing, cooking, cleaning, chopping wood, and lighting fires!
Ning Yechen looked at Meng Niu and the other two speechlessly. They did not resemble dignified Monster Kings at all!
“Keep them. I like having them around.”
“As you wish, Demon Lord.” Yue Qingyou stopped insisting after hearing what he said.
“Thank you, Sir!” Meng Niu and the other two were moved to tears.
The Demon Lord did not have any problems with them!
They managed to survive again!
