Chapter 31 - Your Husband is actually very Afraid of Heights

In the woods...

Luo Ruying hugged Ning Yechen and quickly jumped through the forest, while Luo Hongye was wrapped in swaddling clothes and carried on her back.

To leave the forest quickly and efficiently, Luo Ruying simply carried Ning Yechen in her arms like a princess and flew directly over the trees. Ning Yechen originally wanted to ask her to let him down so they could walk slowly, but the feeling of being held was so comfortable that he gave up the idea.

As Luo Ruying hurried on, she looked around the woods with vigilant eyes, guarding against attacks from enemies or monsters. The strange thing was that before she came, she could sense the aura of many monsters in the woods, but now she couldn't feel any.

The monsters seemed to have left. Even when she sensed a monster's breath from a distance, it would immediately disappear and run away. She didn't exert any coercive aura, but as soon as she got closer, the monsters would hide.

This seems a little strange...

"Mom, Dad, are we leaving here again?" Luo Hongye, lying on Luo Ruying's back, raised her head and reluctantly asked in her ear.

Since leaving that dark place, Luo Ruying had taken her to many locations, each time staying for only a short while. This time was the same, though now with her father here, she really liked the cabin in the woods.

Ning Yechen reached out, rubbed Luo Hongye's little head comfortingly, and said softly, "Yeye, Dad and Mom are going to take you on a trip. There will be a lot of delicious food and fun places to visit!"

"Fun... delicious food...!" Luo Hongye's big eyes lit up, and a look of yearning appeared on her face. "Can I eat it every night...?"

"Certainly! Our family can eat whatever they want every night!" Ning Yechen promised solemnly.

"Yeah~! Then I will travel with my parents every night~!" Luo Hongye's face blossomed with joy, and she danced happily.

Luo Ruying looked helplessly and lovingly at the father and daughter and whispered in Ning Yechen's ear, "You dote on her too much."

"Huh? Isn't it good? Or are you jealous, madam?" Ning Yechen asked with a smile.

Luo Ruying's cheeks turned red, and she rolled her eyes at him. "That's not what I meant!"

What is this guy thinking? He always says these frivolous words with a straight face. Be careful, or I'll throw him out of the sky! How could I be jealous of my own child?

The corners of Ning Yechen's mouth raised slightly, and he suddenly put his arm around Luo Ruying's waist and snuggled into her arms.

Luo Ruying was startled and asked quietly, "You, what are you doing?"

"Madam, I'm actually very afraid of heights! I feel a little uncomfortable now and can only feel at ease by holding my wife!" Ning Yechen said seriously.

After that, he looked uncomfortable, closed his eyes, and leaned his head on Luo Ruying's chest.

Hmm... soft and fragrant...

Is this guy really afraid of heights? Why didn't I hear him say that last time?

Luo Ruying's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She pursed her lips and looked down at Ning Yechen in her arms, expressing doubts in her heart. I haven't said anything after flying for so long, but now he suddenly feels dizzy and afraid of heights!

Luo Hongye looked at Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying curiously. From the beginning, her father had been whispering to her mother.

With the child staring at her, Luo Ruying was embarrassed to push Ning Yechen away. What if he really is afraid of heights and feels dizzy?

"How about... I let you down and take a rest first?" Luo Ruying asked with concern.

"No, just keep it like this, madam," Ning Yechen replied without opening his eyes.

Luo Ruying: "..."

She suddenly felt that this guy must be pretending on purpose! However, at that moment, Ning Yechen suddenly opened his eyes quietly and changed his words.

"Madam, it's better to leave your husband alone for now."

"Okay..."

Luo Ruying descended from the air and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just want to go to the toilet~" Ning Yechen scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

When Luo Ruying heard this, her cheeks turned red involuntarily, and she asked in a low voice, "W-Would you like...me to go with you?"

"Um?!"

Ning Yechen's eyes widened in shock. What does that mean? He just wanted to find an excuse to get away temporarily, but she said she wanted to go to the bathroom with him?!

Luo Ruying also realized her words could be misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "I-I didn't mean that! You must not misunderstand! I'm worried about monsters and wild beasts in the woods. I don't want you to be alone..."

That's how it is. It really shocked him. Ning Yechen suddenly realized that he almost thought his wife was unexpectedly bold.

"Don't worry, madam, you can stay here with the child. I'll be quick."

Ning Yechen smiled and waved, then slipped into the bushes. Although Luo Ruying was still a little worried, she was really embarrassed to follow him. After sensing no wild beasts or monsters around, she obediently waited where she was.

After entering the woods alone, Ning Yechen put away his smile and frowned slightly. He sensed a familiar aura that had lasted for more than a hundred years! That aura was lurking a hundred miles ahead, seemingly waiting for them! The three Chaos Demonic Kings would not be its opponents.

It seems I can only solve this myself. What I hate most is someone interrupting my time with my wife and child! If I have to leave my wife's warm embrace, you're doomed!

Ning Yechen teleported to the woods a hundred miles away and said coldly, "Come out, everyone."

The surrounding woods were completely silent, with no response.

"Huh, don't dare come out? Then I'll help you!"

Ning Yechen's expression hardened, and he reached out and inserted his hand into the void! The void was like a mirror, creating a crack as his palm entered, shattering the surrounding space!

Ning Yechen pinched a man with strange black lines on his face and slowly pulled him out of the void's crack. The man looked horrified and kept struggling with his limbs. He couldn't believe he had been found hiding in the void!
