Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 92 - This is My Child...

A few minutes after Yue Qingyou left, she returned home carrying a bag of ingredients.

Since she had used the excuse of buying ingredients to leave, in order not to arouse Luo Ruying's suspicion, she simply went to Ye Tianshen's place next door and grabbed some ingredients to bring back.

As a barbecue stall owner, he naturally had plenty of prepared ingredients at home.

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, who were playing with Luo Hongye in the courtyard, were slightly surprised to see Yue Qingyou return so quickly.

"You're back so soon?"

"Yes, Madam."

"These ingredients were pre-ordered. I just had to pick them up."

Yue Qingyou casually offered a plausible excuse.

"I see..."

Luo Ruying didn't question further.

Ning Yechen, however, knew that Yue Qingyou hadn't gone grocery shopping. He asked curiously through voice transmission, "Is it taken care of?"

"Not yet, Demon Lord."

"It seems the person is from Madam's family."

Yue Qingyou explained.

Concerned that the person might be someone Luo Ruying knew, Yue Qingyou cautiously chose not to take action.

Hearing that the person was likely from Luo Ruying's family, Ning Yechen couldn't help but feel curious.

Has someone from the Luo Shen Palace come looking...?

While Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou were secretly communicating, Luo Ruying was also observing them from the corner of her eye...

It wasn't her imagination after all.

There was indeed some subtle eye contact between Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou!

Is there something they couldn't tell her...?

For some reason, Luo Ruying suddenly felt a sense of unease in her heart, as if a stone was weighing her down.

Luo Ruying quickly shook her head, dismissing the stray thoughts from her mind.

Why is she becoming like a sentimental woman, prone to overthinking...?

It wasn't like her at all...

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the courtyard door.

Cai Se went to open it, and there stood Luo Ruxin, holding the broken sword fragment.

"May I ask who you're looking for?"

Cai Se inquired politely.

Seeing that the person who opened the door wasn't Luo Ruying, Luo Ruxin couldn't help but frown slightly.

Could she have come to the wrong place...?

Well, it makes sense. How could her sister possibly live in such a shabby little house...?

Just as Luo Ruxin was about to apologize for knocking on the wrong door and turn to leave, Luo Ruying, who was in the courtyard, happened to see her.

Luo Ruying's expression changed with surprise, and she blurted out, "Ruxin?!"

"Sister?!"

"It's really you!"

Luo Ruxin's face lit up with joy. She rushed into the house and threw herself into Luo Ruying's arms, rubbing her cheek against her chest like a child seeking affection...

Ning Yechen, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a bit envious...

That position should belong to him and their child...!

But what surprised him even more was that his wife actually had a younger sister.

Isn't this his sister-in-law...?

After the affectionate reunion, Luo Ruxin lifted her head from Luo Ruying's embrace and carefully examined her sister, whom she hadn't seen in nearly two hundred years.

Seeing that Luo Ruying's once silvery hair had turned completely black, Luo Ruxin frowned deeply, her anger evident on her face.

"Sister, your hair?!"

"How did this happen?!"

The most distinctive feature of the Luo Shen Family's bloodline inheritance was the transformation of black hair into silver strands.

The purer the bloodline, the more abundant the silver hair would be.

Luo Ruying was the first person in their Luo Shen Family since the ancient times to fully awaken the ancient Luo Shen bloodline, possessing the natural silver hair that everyone in the family envied.

She was hailed as the one with the purest bloodline since the creation of the world and had reached the Immortal Emperor Realm in just over a hundred years!

But now, that radiant silver hair had turned into ordinary black hair. This meant that her Luo Shen bloodline was no longer sufficient to maintain her most basic Luo Shen form!

Luo Ruying gently stroked the black hair at the nape of her neck and said calmly, "Many things have happened. I can no longer maintain the Luo Shen form..."

Luo Ruying didn't feel much surprise about not being able to maintain her Luo Shen form and her cultivation regressing.

Rather, she was content to have escaped from that place and be able to live this precious ordinary life.

"You can't maintain the Luo Shen form anymore..."

"Sister, what happened to you after you left the family?!"

"How could this be? And why are you hiding here in the Mortal Realm?"

Hearing that Luo Ruying truly couldn't maintain her Luo Shen form, Luo Ruxin questioned angrily.

She couldn't believe that her sister, who was once revered by everyone in the Heavenly Realm, shining like a star, had fallen to living in such a shabby place!

Just over a hundred years ago, she had heard that her sister had been bestowed the title of Heavenly Empress Luo Shen!

Luo Ruxin, in disbelief, grabbed Luo Ruying's wrist. Upon checking her pulse, her face instantly turned ashen.

Her immortal bone was gone...

Her heart was gone too...

"Sister, your body...!"

"Yes... as you can see."

"Now, I'm just a cultivator at the Heaven Human Realm."

"I can't compare to you anymore."

"You've successfully surpassed me."

Luo Ruying withdrew her arm and joked nonchalantly.

She truly didn't care about these things anymore.

But Luo Ruxin didn't share the same sentiment. Her pretty face turned icy, and she asked with a murderous intent, "Sister, tell me! Who did this to you?!"

"I'll kill them!"

Luo Ruying had always been her idol, her motivation for cultivating diligently throughout her life, and her most beloved sister.

Now, seeing her dearest sister with her bones and heart taken, how could she not be furious?!

Although she yearned to surpass her sister, it was definitely not in this way!

"Alright, alright, calm down."

"Or you might tear down my house in a moment."

Luo Ruying smiled and pulled Luo Ruxin into her embrace, soothing her emotions. She whispered in her ear, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine, aren't I?"

"As for what happened, don't ask anymore..."

"Pretend you know nothing."

"Even if you knew, it might not be a good thing for you or for the Luo Shen Family..."

"But Sister, you..."

Luo Ruxin, unwilling to give up, wanted to continue questioning, but Luo Ruying gently pressed her slender finger against her lips.

Luo Ruying's expression turned serious, leaving no room for argument.

Even though her cultivation was now only at the Heaven Human Realm, she was still her older sister.

"I understand, Sister..."

Luo Ruxin could only nod helplessly.

She understood that Luo Ruying was definitely trying to protect the family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen to this state and wouldn't be willing to return to the Luo Shen Palace in the Heavenly Realm...

Luo Ruxin had many more questions she wanted to ask Luo Ruying, but at that moment, she suddenly noticed a delicate, doll-like little girl clinging to Luo Ruying's leg, hiding behind her.

What an adorable little girl...!

Looking closely, she resembled her sister a bit when she was young!

Her timid appearance was so cute!

"Sister, whose child is this?"

Luo Ruxin pointed at Luo Hongye at Luo Ruying's feet and asked curiously.

Luo Ruying's face flushed slightly. She reached behind her and picked up Luo Hongye, introducing her shyly.

"This... this is my child…”
