Late at night, in the Demon Forest, inside a wooden house...
Due to an overdraft of spiritual power, Luo Ruying fell into a drowsy state for a period before waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Hongye curled up in her arms.
Seeing Luo Hongye's peaceful sleeping face, Luo Ruying felt relieved. She smiled lovingly and gently caressed her cheek. Then, as she was about to look for Ning Yechen, she noticed a pair of arms tightly hugging her waist.
Startled, a trace of panic flashed across her face. She turned around and found Ning Yechen sleeping soundly. At this moment, Luo Hongye was not in the middle; she was.
Moreover, she was sleeping on her side, and Ning Yechen's body was close to hers. She could clearly feel his warmth against her back and his breath drifting past her ears.
No! This is too close!
Luo Ruying's face blushed as she tried to gently remove Ning Yechen's hands from her waist. Unfortunately, his grip was tight, and she couldn't free herself.
Why is this guy hugging so tightly even when he's asleep?
Luo Ruying turned around, glaring at Ning Yechen, and tried to twist out of his embrace. However, she was worried about startling Luo Hongye, so she didn't dare to move too much, making it impossible to escape. Instead, her body kept rubbing gently against Ning Yechen, making her feel a little warm.
Just then, Ning Yechen's feet were placed on her body, and he moved even closer.
"Ah..."
In the darkness, the hand on her waist suddenly pinched slightly. Luo Ruying's face turned bright red, and she almost made a sound. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time to prevent any misleading noises.
She couldn't make strange sounds while the baby was still sleeping in her arms!
This guy is really... His sleeping position is terrible! His hands are not honest!
Luo Ruying was both ashamed and angry but couldn't force her way out of Ning Yechen's arms. At her wit's end, she blushed and called out softly:
"Ye, Yechen...? Yechen, wake up..."
She called several times but got no response. This guy was sleeping too soundly.
After several attempts, Luo Ruying accepted her fate and let Ning Yechen sleep next to her. Just hold it... As long as he doesn't act weird anymore...
She placed her hands on Ning Yechen's hands on her waist, snuggled into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep. The corners of Ning Yechen's mouth raised slightly as he "slept."
...
In the early morning, the sunlight shone into the house through the window cracks.
"Madam, madam..."
Luo Ruying, sleeping soundly, heard a familiar call in her ears. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and saw a handsome face in front of hers, scaring her so much that she leaned back instinctively. Remembering Ning Yechen's behavior last night, Luo Ruying couldn't help but show resentment on her face, her cheeks slightly red.
This guy made me unable to sleep well last night! (Although I actually slept well.)
Ning Yechen smiled, sat on the edge of the bed, touched Luo Ruying's forehead, and asked softly:
"Madam, do you still feel pain?"
"It's okay..."
Ning Yechen's soft words of concern made Luo Ruying feel warmer, and she swallowed the words she originally wanted to say to him.
Never mind... It's not his fault he fell asleep.
"Madam, I have prepared some medicine for you."
Ning Yechen brought a bowl of medicinal soup and scooped it up to feed Luo Ruying as usual. This time, she didn't stubbornly insist on feeding herself but obediently opened her mouth.
Only by recovering quickly could she prevent potential dangers later.
Ning Yechen happily fed a spoonful into her mouth. Although he could easily heal all her injuries, he chose not to. On the one hand, it could arouse suspicion if he took out pills or used advanced healing methods. On the other hand, he enjoyed seeing her like this, more charming side due to her weakness, and loved taking care of her.
After a few sips, Luo Ruying pondered for a moment and suddenly said:
"Yechen, pack your things later; let's get out of here."
This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision but a plan after much thought. The ghost husband and others had chased her here, meaning her location might be exposed. More powerful enemies might come soon. With her current cultivation level, she couldn't even stop the Old Ghost, let alone more powerful enemies. The safest way was to leave quickly before the enemy arrived.
Ning Yechen understood her worries. Although unnecessary, he nodded to her wishes. He had chosen to live in seclusion for a peaceful life, and now that he had a wife and child, he would be wherever they were.
After discussing it, they started packing. Luo Ruying had a spare spiritual ring, which was the best way to store things now. With a wave of her arm, most of the room's luggage was stored in her ring.
"Oh, my wife is so amazing~" Ning Yechen clapped his hands in praise.
"If you have anything to pack, leave it to me," Luo Ruying said with a smile.
It was a simple task, but after being praised, she felt happy.
Luo Hongye woke up and happily helped pack things.
"Madam, I'm going to pack things outside the house."
"Good."
Ning Yechen smiled at Luo Ruying and her daughter, then found an excuse to leave the room. Secretly, he called the three Chaos Demons Kings.
"I'm leaving here for a while. I'll give you two choices. One is to stay and take care of everything here, and the other is to follow me. Choose for yourselves."
It would be good for them to stay and guard the house and medicine garden. It would also be good to have them disguised and secretly protect Luo Ruying and the others.
The three Chaos Demon Kings looked at each other and made their decision.
"Sir! Please let us follow you! We are willing to serve you to the death!"
If it were before, they would have chosen to stay in the Demon Forest. But after helping them achieve a breakthrough and giving them immortal weapons, they changed their minds. Although dangerous, being around the adults was a rare opportunity.
