Chapter 301 - It is Your Husband’s Duty to Protect You, My Wife

"My dear~"

Feeling the affection of the beauty in his arms, Ning Yechen lovingly leaned down and slowly drew close to Luo Ruying’s fresh red, alluring lips.

Luo Ruying tilted her head up and closed her beautiful eyes.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Luo Ruying suddenly remembered something important. She abruptly opened her eyes again and directly blocked Ning Yechen’s lips with her hand…

Ning Yechen looked at Luo Ruying, puzzled.

The mood was just right, why did she suddenly call a halt…

Luo Ruying furrowed her beautiful brows, her expression suddenly turning to one of displeasure as she said in an interrogating tone:

"Husband, who let you come here!"

Just now, she had been completely immersed in the joy of seeing Ning Yechen again and had completely forgotten to think about how he had appeared here!

Ning Yechen: "..."

Ning Yechen had a helpless and bewildered look on his face.

This change in attitude is a bit too fast…

Women…

"My wife, wasn't I just worried about you~" Ning Yechen explained with a smile.

"Husband, if you came over, what about our child?"

"Did you just leave our child alone at the Luo Shen Palace?"

Luo Ruying’s heart warmed, but she still scolded him with a frown.

She also knew that Ning Yechen must have been concerned about her and had specially found a way to enter the Immortal Realm Trials, but with him not by Luo Hongye’s side, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Hearing that Luo Ruying was worried about this, Ning Yechen smiled faintly and pointed to an ice rock inside the grotto.

"Hmm…?"

Luo Ruying looked at the unremarkable ice rock and let out a sound of confusion.

And just at this moment, the ice rock suddenly turned jet-black and then transformed into a shadow that slowly opened.

A cute little head poked out from the shadow. Her little face looked at Luo Ruying cutely as she called out in a milky, cordial voice:

"Mommy~"

"Ye Ye~?!"

Luo Ruying was overjoyed. She immediately ran from Ning Yechen’s embrace to before Luo Hongye, pulled her into a tight hug, and gently stroked her tender, soft little face, looking her over and over.

In the three days she had been gone, she had been missing her child at every moment.

Now, seeing her again, the joy in her heart was indescribable.

"Heehee~ Mommy~"

Luo Hongye, held tightly in Luo Ruying’s arms and having her face stroked, also revealed a cute and tender smile.

Ning Yechen, left to the side, had a helpless yet doting smile.

"Husband, how did you bring our child into the Immortal Realm Trials?”

After a moment of tenderness, Luo Ruying picked up Luo Hongye and the cat, Shadow, in her arms, and turned her head to ask Ning Yechen curiously.

The secret realm barrier of the Immortal Realm Trials was supposed to only allow those with celestial spiritual energy to enter.

Yet Ning Yechen, the Demon Lord, had appeared before her in the Immortal Realm Trials…

Ning Yechen smiled faintly, drew close to Luo Ruying’s exquisitely beautiful face, and said very simply:

"My dear, could it be that you're underestimating me~?"

"So-called barriers are just things imposed on the weak."

"How could they possibly pose a difficulty to your husband?"

Looking at the handsome face drawing near, Luo Ruying’s cheeks subconsciously flushed with a faint crimson, and she gave Ning Yechen a coquettish, dissatisfied glare with her beautiful eyes.

She now understood why, back then, when she said she wanted to enter the Immortal Realm Trials, Ning Yechen had agreed without hesitation.

And why, when she was about to leave, he hadn't shown the slightest reluctance.

It turned out that from the very beginning, he had planned to secretly follow her into the Immortal Realm Trials with their child!

Yet he had deliberately not told her!

"Husband, the immortal medicines and that Fire Pelt Rat pelt scattered on the ground were also your doing, right…?"

The more Luo Ruying thought about it, the angrier she got. She asked, her brows furrowed as she stared at Ning Yechen.

Recalling how smooth her journey had been, it must have been because Ning Yechen was secretly helping her!

That time with the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, or before when no one disturbed her while she was refining the pill.

If Ning Yechen had been secretly protecting her, then everything would make sense.

"That's right~ It was this husband~"

"Isn't my wife very moved~" Ning Yechen said, holding his head high, taking credit with a proud and smug look.

Little did he know, the next second, a slender, jade-like hand reached his waist and gave him a pinch…

"Hiss~ Wife…"

Caught off guard, the completely unprepared Ning Yechen’s face changed, and he clutched his waist in pain.

"This is your punishment for hiding it from me and teasing me."

Luo Ruying said with dissatisfaction, giving Ning Yechen a coquettish glare and composing her expression.

He clearly knew she was missing them, yet he deliberately hid and didn't come out!

And just now, he had deliberately disguised himself to tease her, making her say all those praises about him to his face. She was both shy and angry.

Bad fellow!

Teasing her on purpose!

Ning Yechen looked at Luo Ruying helplessly, a very aggrieved expression on his face.

He had specially brought their child to reunite with his wife and had secretly protected her all the way. In the end, not only did he not get any reward, but he was even hit by his wife…

Looking at Ning Yechen clutching his waist with an aggrieved expression, Luo Ruying couldn't help but smile gently. She proactively walked before him and, without another word, lifted her head and gently kissed his lips…

Ning Yechen’s expression froze for a moment, and then he readily closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Luo Ruying’s slender waist…

This time, the two of them paid no mind to their child and shared a deep, loving kiss on the spot…

The charming and warm atmosphere lasted for a moment before Luo Ruying slowly parted from Ning Yechen’s lips.

Her beautiful eyes were shy and full of affection, her cheeks were already dyed a crimson red, yet a charming smile hung at the corners of her mouth.

"That was in gratitude for you accompanying me all this way, Husband…"

"Thank you, Husband…"

"Didn't I say before that my wife doesn't need to be so polite?"

"It is your husband’s duty to protect you, my wife."

Ning Yechen said softly from up close, a charming smile on his lips as he touched his forehead to Luo Ruying’s.

Luo Ruying’s heart throbbed, and she shyly lowered her eyes. She was endlessly moved and joyful…

"Mmm-hmm…"

"Daddy… Mommy…"

"Every time Daddy and Mommy play the kissing game, you don't pay attention to Ye Ye anymore…"

Luo Hongye, sitting in Luo Ruying’s arms, pouted her little mouth and said in a soft, sweet, and resentful voice.

"Sorry, Ye Ye…"

"How could Daddy and Mommy not pay attention to our cute Ye Ye~"

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying were extremely ashamed by Luo Hongye’s words.

They had been too focused just now and had almost forgotten the child was still in her arms…

"Mommy and Daddy both love our cute Ye Ye~"

Luo Ruying said, coaxing her softly as she hugged Luo Hongye and gently kissed her round, chubby, and tender little face.

"Heehee~ (?′?`?)"

Hearing this, Luo Hongye once again revealed a happy and innocent, brilliant smile.

Ning Yechen looked towards the pure spirit pool behind him and smiled faintly, an idea to make his child happy forming in his mind…
