Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 91 - Could it be that everything was a misunderstanding...?

Above Nanli City

A beautiful young woman with delicate features, like a divine rainbow streaking across the sky, arrived above Nanli City. She looked down upon the bustling crowd below.

The woman's appearance bore a slight resemblance to Luo Ruying's. She had fair skin and stunning beauty, possessing an otherworldly charm.

The difference was that her long hair cascading down her waist was a mix of black and white.

"It seems to be here..."

Luo Ruxin held a broken sword fragment in her hand, her gaze sweeping across the vast expanse of Nanli City. A frown creased her brow.

Could her sister be living here...?

After Ning Yechen's night visit to the Luo Shen Palace, Luo Tianya had a vague feeling that something might have happened to his daughter, Luo Ruying.

So he decided to send Luo Ruying's younger sister, Luo Ruxin, to search for her.

The broken sword fragment in her hand was a small piece that had once broken off from the family's Luo Immortal Sword.

This fragment could sense the location of the main body of the Immortal Sword. The closer it was to the sword, the more intensely the fragment would shimmer, guiding her like a compass.

In the Heavenly Realm, the fragment showed no reaction. But as soon as she secretly returned to the Mortal Realm, the fragment in her hand responded!

Relying on this broken sword fragment, Luo Ruxin first arrived at the small house nestled in the woods of the Demonic Beast Forest.

After investigating, she confirmed that someone had lived there, and the ground still held traces of Luo Ruying's divine energy. She concluded that Luo Ruying must have lived there for a period.

The scene suggested that they had left in a hurry due to some danger.

Worried that Luo Ruying might be in trouble, Luo Ruxin continued her search using the sword fragment.

She followed its guidance all the way to the skies above Nanli City.

Now, the sword fragment in her hand was shimmering much more frequently, almost confirming that her sister, Luo Ruying, was indeed in the city!

Clutching the sword fragment, Luo Ruxin descended into the city and continued her search.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she entered the city, shadowy figures emerged from the void where she had just been.

"Immortal King cultivation..."

"It's someone from the Heavenly Realm..."

"Should we kill?"

"The Demon Lord has ordered us to pay close attention to anyone from the Heavenly Realm and report immediately!"

"Don't take action for now..."

With that, the shadowy figures distorted and vanished into the void once again...

......

Qi Yuan stayed at Ning Yechen's house for a while, playing with Luo Hongye, then got up and left.

Of course, the main reason for her departure was that Yue Qingyou's gaze made her feel extremely uneasy, like sitting on pins and needles...

She felt that if she stayed any longer, her life might be in danger at any moment...

After Qi Yuan left, Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying were also contemplating whether or not to send Luo Hongye to school, to interact and play with other children her age.

However, there were still a few days before the Nanli Academy school term started, so they could take this time to consider it carefully.

Just then, both Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou received a voice transmission from a Shadow Guard in their minds.

"Demon Lord, Left Guardian, someone from the Heavenly Realm has appeared."

"She seems to be heading in your direction."

Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou's eyes narrowed instantly, a sharp glint flashing in their gazes.

Have those old geezers from the hidden families in the Heavenly Realm finally couldn't resist and sent someone again?

Ning Yechen thought to himself.

If so, that would be perfect!

He just happened to want to ask who was behind them!

He had been worried about not being able to find them!

They had taken his wife's heart bone, and he would get it back one day, no matter what!

"Demon Lord, allow me to handle this."

Yue Qingyou volunteered.

She had already learned about how Luo Ruying lost her heart bone in the Heavenly Realm and fled back to the Mortal Realm with Luo Hongye.

If this person was the one the Demon Lord mentioned who was pursuing Madam and the Little Princess, she would show no mercy!

Attacking their Demon Realm's Madam and Little Princess was tantamount to declaring war on the entire Demon Realm!

There was no reason to hold back.

"Go ahead, but remember to bring them back alive."

Ning Yechen gave Yue Qingyou a sharp look and instructed her through voice transmission.

He was a bit worried that Yue Qingyou might go overboard and kill them directly...

Yue Qingyou smiled slightly, stood up, and bowed to Luo Ruying, saying she was going out to buy some ingredients before leaving.

Luo Ruying frowned slightly, looking at Yue Qingyou's departing figure with confusion.

Didn't they just stock up on food a few days ago? Why does she need to go shopping again so soon...?

And was it just her imagination, or did she sense some sort of secret communication between Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou just now...?

She felt like they were hiding something from her...

"Wife, what's wrong?"

Ning Yechen, noticing Luo Ruying's furrowed brows and pensive expression, asked curiously with a smile.

Could it be that this little girl had sensed something...?

"No, it's nothing..."

Luo Ruying slowly shook her head in response.

She was too embarrassed to ask about such a thing...

Wouldn't that show distrust in Ning Yechen...?

She firmly believed he wasn't that kind of person...!

It must have been her imagination, a misunderstanding!

There was no way he could be hiding anything from her...

Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou couldn't possibly have any special relationship... could they...?

......

On the Streets of Nanli City

Luo Ruxin, guided by the broken sword fragment in her hand, walked step by step towards Ning Yechen's courtyard.

Feeling the pull in her hand grow stronger, Luo Ruxin's heart leaped with joy.

It seemed her sister was nearby!

However, in the next second, Luo Ruxin abruptly stopped, her expression turning serious. Her eyes scanned the surroundings with heightened vigilance.

At some point, the bustling noises around her had vanished, and the once crowded street was now devoid of people!

The nearby streets were empty, eerily silent!

Yet, it felt as if dozens of eyes were fixated on her!

She had been so focused on the broken sword fragment in her hand that she hadn't noticed anything!

In an instant, Luo Ruxin, a cultivator of the Immortal King Realm, felt a chill run down her spine!

Yue Qingyou's figure slowly emerged from the street ahead, walking towards her.

Upon seeing her, Luo Ruxin gripped the immortal sword at her waist tightly, her brows furrowed.

She couldn't discern the cultivation level of the woman before her, and there was no trace of spiritual energy emanating from her!

Could it be that her cultivation and strength far surpassed her own?

Or was she simply very good at concealing it?

Yue Qingyou looked at Luo Ruxin coldly, about to speak, when she suddenly noticed the spiritual energy emanating from Luo Ruxin due to her nervousness.

This spiritual energy was remarkably similar to Madam's.

Looking closely, this woman from the Heavenly Realm also bore a slight resemblance to Madam...

Could she be someone from Madam's family...?

Yue Qingyou quickly guessed Luo Ruxin's identity and was relieved that she hadn't spoken yet.

She immediately sent a voice transmission to dismiss all the lurking Demon Gods around them, then gave Luo Ruxin a gentle and humble smile, like a servant.

Luo Ruxin suddenly felt the chill on her back disappear, and the terrifying aura vanished along with it.

In the blink of an eye, Yue Qingyou in front of her also disappeared without a trace, and the flow of people reappeared on the street.

The sense of danger from moments ago felt like it had never existed.

Could it be that everything was just a misunderstanding...?
