Chapter 300 - This Lord is Actually Very Familiar with Him

Inside the Frigid Heaven Ice Grotto.

Luo Ruying rushed into the ice grotto, praying in her heart that the people of the Lanling Clan had not yet succeeded.

However, some time had passed since the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix was lured away. It was possible that the Lanling Clan had already succeeded and left.

With worry in her heart, Luo Ruying arrived at the deepest part of the Frigid Heaven Ice Grotto.

She saw a black-robed figure standing with its back to her before a pool of pure spiritual fluid, holding a celestial ganoderma that was overflowing with spiritual light and had a crystalline luster.

Without a doubt, that must be the ten-thousand-year-old Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma!

It was just that this person's back did not seem to belong to someone from the Lanling Clan…

She hadn't seen any sign of the Lanling Clan members along the way…

Yet the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma had fallen into this person's hands!

"May I ask who you are…?"

"Where are the people of the Lanling Clan who were here…?"

Luo Ruying asked, gripping her Luo Shen Celestial Sword with a frown.

A roguishly charming smile appeared at the corners of Ning Yechen’s mouth. He slowly turned around, revealing a masked face, and said in a deep voice:

"Who this Lord is, is not important."

"As for the members of the Lanling Clan you speak of, this Lord has already killed them all."

Killed them all…?!

Hearing this, Luo Ruying was greatly shocked.

Among the members of the Lanling Clan were several elders, all at the Immortal Venerable realm!

Yet this person had annihilated them all so casually!

This person's cultivation was probably no lower than the Immortal Emperor realm!

"Senior, why did you annihilate the members of the Lanling Clan?"

Luo Ruying released her grip on her sword hilt and asked, looking at Ning Yechen with a grave expression.

If the members of the Lanling Clan were no match for this person, then she needn't even think about it…

"I killed them because they schemed against this Lord's most treasured possession~!"

Ning Yechen held up the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma in his hand, but his eyes were secretly glancing at Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying thought Ning Yechen was referring to the ten-thousand-year-old ganoderma in his hand and had an epiphany.

So this ten-thousand-year-old Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma was specially left here to be cultivated by this senior…

That Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix must also be an immortal beast left behind by this senior to guard it…

It was they who had rashly offended this senior, which had provoked his anger.

"Senior, please forgive me. Ruying has no intention of coveting your possession."

"It's just that this Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma is very important to Ruying. Might I ask Senior to part with it?"

"If there is anything Senior needs, please feel free to ask. Ruying is willing to exchange anything with Senior for this Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma, even if it's just a single piece!"

Luo Ruying pleaded, bowing with cupped hands.

Now, her last hope could only be placed on this senior showing great mercy and being willing to make an exchange with her.

"You say you're willing to exchange anything for it…?”

Under the mask, Ning Yechen revealed a playful smile, his gaze openly roaming over Luo Ruying’s body.

No matter how many times he's seen it, his wife's figure is so enchanting.

Luo Ruying sensed Ning Yechen’s gaze. Her lovely face flushed with anger, and she said with a cold frown:

"Senior, aren't you being a little too rude!"

"Ruying's meaning was everything except for myself!"

"But this Lord is only interested in you~"

"The beautiful name of the Luo Shen Empress, this Lord has coveted it for a long time and has never forgotten it~"

Ning Yechen said, pointing at Luo Ruying in a deliberately teasing tone.

Luo Ruying’s delicate body trembled with anger, and she bit her silver teeth tightly.

She never thought this person would be such a lewd scoundrel!

"Ruying is already married!"

"If Senior is unwilling, then Ruying will take her leave!"

After speaking, Luo Ruying turned to leave without hesitation.

Although she very much wanted that ten-thousand-year-old Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma, she would absolutely not do such a thing for it!

Seeing that Luo Ruying was really about to leave, Ning Yechen flashed and appeared before her.

"So the Luo Shen Empress is already married. This Lord was rude."

"I wonder who the other party is, to have the honor of receiving the Luo Shen Empress's favor?"

Luo Ruying’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She was very puzzled as to why the other party was suddenly interested in her family matters, but she still said with a proud and tender expression:

"My husband is the current Demon Lord!"

"Oh~~ So it's the Demon Lord~"

"This Lord knows him." Ning Yechen said, feigning an epiphany.

Luo Ruying couldn't help but show her curiosity.

"Senior knows my husband?"

"Naturally~"

"This Lord is actually very familiar with him~" Ning Yechen said leisurely, suppressing a smile.

Luo Ruying, on the other hand, stared at Ning Yechen with suspicion.

How could her husband know such a lewd scoundrel…?

"This Lord asks you, who do you think is more powerful, your husband or this Lord~?"

Ning Yechen asked, standing before Luo Ruying with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

"Naturally, my husband!"

"My husband is the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm, a Transcendent Immortal of this world!"

Luo Ruying replied proudly without the slightest hesitation.

Ning Yechen nodded with great satisfaction.

The feeling of being praised by my wife is really good.

"I wonder what the Luo Shen Empress thinks of her husband's appearance?"

"In my eyes, he is peerless and matchless, a heroic figure in this world!"

Luo Ruying replied again, decisively and solemnly.

"Mmm~~" Ning Yechen once again let out a satisfied, deep hum, nodding his head repeatedly.

Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes stared at Ning Yechen with even more suspicion.

Strange…

Every time she praised Ning Yechen, this fellow seemed to look exceptionally pleased and happy…!

This disguise, this figure, it all seems so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before!

Under Luo Ruying’s careful gaze, she soon discovered a silvery-white, plush scarf wrapped around the other party's neck, beneath his black robe!

She was all too familiar with this scarf; it was the one she had personally knitted for Ning Yechen back in the Mortal Realm!

"Hu~sband~~!"

Just as Ning Yechen was still immersed in the joy of being praised by Luo Ruying, her beautiful eyes had already turned cold, and she drew close to his face, staring fixedly at him.

This "Husband" was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction…

Ning Yechen subconsciously blurted out:

"Hmm?"

Realizing his voice was wrong, Ning Yechen hurriedly coughed twice to cover it up and changed back to his disguised voice from before.

Little did he know, at this moment, Luo Ruying had already seen through his disguise…

"Husband, it's you, right~?"

Luo Ruying suddenly squinted her eyes and asked with a beaming smile.

Ning Yechen: "..."

"Cough cough, Luo Shen Empress, you've misunderstood…"

"This Lord is not your husband…"

Ning Yechen was silent for a moment, then hurriedly tried to cover it up nervously.

He could feel that his wife was angry…

"Oh~ is that so~"

"In that case, from now on, Husband, you and I will sleep in separate rooms!"

Luo Ruying said, a crescent-moon smile on her face as she looked at Ning Yechen.

"Wait a minute!"

"I was wrong…"

The moment Ning Yechen heard this, he hurriedly took off his mask, removed his cloak, and solemnly admitted his mistake.

Sleeping in separate rooms—this punishment was a bit too severe!

Seeing the familiar face appear before her, Luo Ruying’s face was filled with indignation. She stared fixedly at Ning Yechen, yet her beautiful, crimson eyes welled up with shimmering tears…

Ning Yechen’s expression froze. Filled with guilt, he proactively pulled Luo Ruying into his embrace.

"I'm sorry, my wife. I just wanted to give you a surprise…"

"Hmph…!"

Luo Ruying leaned against Ning Yechen’s embrace. Feeling the familiar chest and warmth, she couldn't help but slowly close her beautiful eyes and proactively wrap her arms around Ning Yechen’s waist.

She was indeed a little angry that Ning Yechen had deceived her, but when she truly saw him again, what she felt more in her heart was joy and longing…

From the moment she entered the Immortal Realm Trials, all the grievances and vigilance in her heart were set aside, and she felt an unprecedented sense of peace…
