Vol. 1 - Chapter 7 - I Don't Think So
A few guards came forward to pull Tiandao Changrong away.
Seeing this, Ning Yechen smiled and said nothing.
He knew Tiandao Changrou was just doing it for show.
He was here to ask Tiandao Palace to do something for him, not destroy
them, so he did not take it to heart.
Otherwise, he would have finished off Tiandao Changrong with one blow!
"Demon Lord, may I ask what brings you to Tiandao Palace?" Tiandao
Wentian asked politely with his hands cupped in front of him.
At this moment, he could only hope that this terrifying man would leave
as soon as possible.
As long as the Demon Lord was here, he felt incredibly stressed.
The many disciples of Tiandao Palace standing below were stunned by this
scene.
The ancestor of Tiandao Palace was among the most powerful people in the
Heavenly Realm. He had never spoken so politely to anyone!
But he was speaking ingratiatingly to the Demon Lord.
He even went as far as taking the initiative to imprison the leader of
Tiandao Palace in the forbidden zone!
"I am here today to ask Tiandao Palace to do something for me," Ning
Yechen said mildly.
"May I ask what it is?" Tiandao Wentian asked quizzically. What could
make the Demon Lord reappear in the Heavenly Realm after a century?
"I want you and the other eight great powers of the Heavenly Realm to
investigate a woman called Luo Ruying! In particular, I want information
on her family background. Got it?" Ning Yechen stated the purpose of his
trip calmly.
Rather than slowly investigating for who knew how long in the Heavenly
Realm on his own, it was easier to get someone here to do it.
Tiandao Wentian did not expect Ning Yechen to return to the Heavenly
Realm merely to investigate a woman.
"May I ask how she offended you? If so, Tiandao Palace will be happy to
help take care of her!" Tiandao Wentian said in a threatening tone with
his eyes narrowed.
Ning Yechen slowly shook his head, but his eyes had a cold glint. "No
need. I just want her information. Leave the rest to me."
"I understand. I will contact all the forces in the Heavenly Realm
immediately to get what you need."
Tiandao Wentian was startled and turned cold when he sensed the
murderous aura radiating from Ning Yechen.
He cursed Luo Ruying inwardly. Stupid woman! Of all the people she
could offend, did it have to be this terrifying man? He even went as far
as returning to the Heavenly Realm and wrecking Tiandao Palace again!
Even if Ning Yechen did not want them to touch her, Tiandao Wentian
certainly wanted to kill her!
"Good. I will be back in three days. If you can't give me what I want,
Tiandao Palace will be no more."
With that, Ning Yechen transformed into a dark light and left Tiandao
Palace in the blink of an eye.
He had been gone for long enough and should return.
His wife and daughter were probably waking up soon.
Seeing Ning Yechen leave, Tiandao Wentian heaved a sigh of relief.
Thinking about Ning Yechen's return in three days, he felt miserable
and worried.
If he could not get the information Ning Yechen wanted, he was certain
that Tiandao Palace would forever disappear from the Heavenly Realm!
Considering this man's abilities, he could certainly accomplish this!
"Everyone, listen up! Stop all cultivation and investigate someone
called Luo Ruying! Investigate everyone surnamed Luo!
"Also, tell the other Heavenly Realm forces and get them to help
investigate too! Tell them that the Demon Lord is back!"
"Yes, Ancestor!"
It was the first time that the disciples of Tiandao Palace had seen the
ancestor so serious and nervous. They wasted no time and quickly
transformed into lights and dispersed throughout the Heavenly Realm.
In short time, news about the Demon Lord's return to the Heavenly Realm
spread throughout the realm!
"What? Has Demon Lord Ye Mochen returned to the Heavenly Realm?!"
"Does the Demon Realm plan on attacking the Heavenly Realm again?"
"Oh dear! We have to tell the ancestor!"
"Oh no. The ancestor has already run off!"
Hearing about the Demon Lord's return, the entire Heavenly Realm
instantly became turbulent. Countless people were so scared that they
couldn't sleep, and an atmosphere of fear engulfed the realm!
The people of the Heavenly Realm were destined to lose sleep for nights!
***
Meanwhile, inside a dark palace somewhere in the Demon Realm.
Several people were sitting around a large round table with lights
coming from their demonic eyes!
"The Demon Lord has appeared!"
"Hmph. I knew it. How could the almighty Demon Lord be dead?"
"But why didn't the Demon Lord return to the Demon Realm? Why did the
Demon Lord show up in the Heavenly Realm?
"Why didn't he call us if he wanted to attack the Heavenly Realm? I'm
going to attack the Heavenly Realm this instant!"
"Calm down. Word has it that the Demon Lord has already left the
Heavenly Realm."
"..."
"No matter what, it's great that we have news of the Demon Lord! Find
him! Even if we have to comb the lands with a fine tooth comb, we have
to find the Demon Lord!"
***
In the wooden house located in the Monster Domain Forest of the Mortal
Realm.
Luo Ruying, lying on a bed, slowly opened her eyes.
After taking the medicine and sleeping all night, she could keenly sense
that her injuries were almost completely recovered!
Even though nothing could be done about her cultivation, her injuries
were more or less fine now.
All she needed to do now was take care of herself and slowly get better.
Someone in the Mortal Realm actually has such effective heavenly
herbs. Luo Ruying was astonished and delighted.
She looked at her daughter sleeping curled up in her arms and stroked
Luo Hongye's head lovingly.
She had been ready to say goodbye to her daughter at any time, but she
was still with Luo Hongye now.
Luo Ruying did not disturb Luo Hongye's sleep. She gently got up and
looked around the room, but Ning Yechen was nowhere to be seen.
Just as she was about to get up and find him, the door opened gently
with a creak.
Ning Yechen came in holding a bowl of piping hot medicinal porridge.
Seeing Luo Ruying awake and sitting up on the bed, he smiled. "Good
morning, Dear. Since you're up, have some porridge."
"Did you specially get up early in the morning to make porridge for me?"
Luo Ruying asked.
Through the window, there was only some hazy light outside. It was
foggy, and the sun had yet to rise fully.
"I went out for a stroll and made the porridge since I was up."
Ning Yechen brought the porridge over to the bed and sat by the bedside.
He scooped a spoonful of the medicinal porridge, blew on it to cool it,
and placed the spoon by her mouth just like he had done with the
medicine yesterday.
"I'm okay now. I can eat on my own." Luo Ruying was not accustomed to
getting fed by someone so intimately. Yesterday, she had no choice
because she had been seriously injured.
Now that she was much better, she wanted to take the medicinal porridge
and feed herself.
Ning Yechen did not give her the chance. Just as her hand was about to
reach over, he moved the medicinal porridge away and said firmly, "No!
You haven't recovered yet. Let me feed you."
"I'm really fine," Luo Ruying explained.
"No. I don't think so. Come on. Ahhh~" Ning Yechen did not give her the
chance at all. Instead, he held the spoonful of medicinal porridge by
her mouth, looking at her with a smile.
Luo Ruying was frustrated. She had a feeling that he was deliberately
doing this!
