Chapter 302 - This is the Gift Your Husband is Giving You~

"To compensate Ye Ye, how about Daddy gives you a gift~?"

Ning Yechen said, ruffling Luo Hongye’s little head.

"A gift~"

Luo Hongye’s big eyes sparkled as she looked at Ning Yechen with anticipation and said in her soft, sweet voice.

Ning Yechen smiled faintly, took out the Jade Qilin egg that Yulin had wanted to gift to Luo Hongye, and placed it in the pure spirit pool.

Seeing this verdant and crystalline Jade Qilin egg, Luo Ruying was also greatly shocked.

Isn't this a Jade Qilin egg…?

The Jade Qilin was an extremely rare immortal beast in the world; one probably couldn't even be found in the entire Heavenly Realm now.

Where did he get it…

The Jade Qilin egg rested quietly in the spirit pool. The next second, it lit up with a verdant green glow.

The spiritual fluid in the pool was gradually absorbed by the egg, the liquid level decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Just as the Jade Qilin egg was about to burst from its ceaseless absorption of the spiritual fluid, Ning Yechen slowly extended a finger and tapped it.

The Jade Qilin egg, which had just been on the verge of exploding, gradually calmed down again under the protection of Ning Yechen’s spiritual energy.

At this moment, the scales on the Jade Qilin egg gradually fell off, and the eggshell became much softer.

The entire egg pulsed faintly like a heart, as if it were about to hatch!

Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye, mother and daughter, both witnessed the birth of this new life with hearts full of anticipation.

After a moment, with a crack, the Jade Qilin egg broke open!

From within the egg, which was the size of an adult's stomach, a small head poked out.

The infant Jade Qilin did not yet have scales or horns. Its body was smooth and fleshy, looking like a fat little loach.

"Jiuu…"

Perhaps because it had just been born, or perhaps because it had absorbed too much pure spiritual fluid, the newborn Jade Qilin didn't have much strength and let out a tender call as it lay on the eggshell.

What a cute little fellow…

"I-It hatched...!"

Both Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye stared intently at the little Jade Qilin, which was struggling to break out of its shell.

They never thought that a newborn Jade Qilin would look like this…

Ning Yechen gently placed the little Jade Qilin in his palm. After a careful examination, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The Jade Qilin itself could be born by absorbing the spirit of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy of the environment determined its upper limit.

Placing it in a pure spiritual fluid could not only accelerate its hatching but could even strengthen the young Qilin's physical constitution!

Having absorbed an entire pool of pure spiritual fluid, this little fellow's future talent and cultivation were destined to be not bad.

It's just right to give to my child as a companion immortal beast.

This was both a little pet he was giving to his child and a small repayment of a fateful opportunity to Yulin for telling him of the ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma here.

"Ye Ye, do you like it?" Ning Yechen asked with a smile, holding the little Jade Qilin in his palm before Luo Hongye.

"I like it~!" Luo Hongye said happily without hesitation.

Her tender little hands carefully took the little Jade Qilin from Ning Yechen’s hands, and she curiously reached out to gently stroke its fleshy, delicate body.

Seeing that their child liked it very much, both Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying revealed smiles.

"My wife, here~"

"You get one too~"

"This is the gift your husband is giving you~"

Ning Yechen then took out the ten-thousand-year-old Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma and handed it to Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying carefully accepted the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma, her beautiful eyes flowing with affection, her heart filled with a gratitude for Ning Yechen that she didn't know how to express.

Now, she finally no longer had to worry about her mother's health.

Just at this moment, a commotion was heard from outside the Frigid Heaven Ice Grotto.

Fengxiao had returned to the ice grotto.

In her hand, she was carrying the one-armed, heavily injured, and wretched-looking Lanling Tianxuan.

The severed arm was not bleeding, but had been directly frozen over by frost. However, Lanling Tianxuan could constantly feel a bone-piercingly cold qi invading his body.

If this continued, he was afraid he would soon die from the erosion of the cold qi!

"Lady Ice Phoenix, this humble one had no intention of offending you…!"

"This was all a misunderstanding!"

"The one who instigated me to attack you was that woman in the celestial array! It has nothing to do with this humble one!"

Lanling Tianxuan began to beg Fengxiao for mercy.

He truly hadn't expected Fengxiao’s cultivation to be so terrifying; she was probably on the verge of touching the Transcendent Immortal domain!

He hadn't expected that the Eight Banners Heaven-Burning Celestial Array wouldn't be able to trap her for long…

The moment Fengxiao flapped her wings and caught up, he was utterly shocked and hurriedly tried to defend himself in a panic.

However, under Fengxiao’s full power, he had no strength to fight back at all…!

In any case, the Luo Shen Empress should already be dead at Fengxiao’s hands, so he simply pushed all the blame onto her.

Perhaps there was still a sliver of a chance to live…

"Silence!"

"If the lord hadn't said to bring you back alive, I would have killed you long ago!"

Fengxiao said in a cold voice, her cold eyes looking at Lanling Tianxuan, whom she was holding.

Right now, she just wanted to quickly bring Lanling Tianxuan back to report on her mission, lest that lord get angry…

Hearing Fengxiao’s words, Lanling Tianxuan couldn't help but show a look of confusion.

Lord…?

Who was the 'lord' this Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix was speaking of…?

Who in these Immortal Realm Trials could make her address them so respectfully?

Just as Lanling Tianxuan was filled with doubt, Fengxiao had already carried him to the depths of the ice grotto and thrown him heavily onto the ground.

"Fengxiao has brought the person, as per the lord's command…"

Fengxiao knelt and kowtowed, speaking respectfully to Ning Yechen.

Lanling Tianxuan lay on the ground and curiously lifted his head to look forward. The scene before him, however, made his pupils shrink on the spot, his expression filled with terror!

Luo Ruying, who should have died at Fengxiao’s hands in the celestial array, appeared before him, safe and sound, holding Luo Hongye…

And the man following beside her was conspicuously the legendary Demon Lord…!

The Demon Lord had actually appeared in the Immortal Realm Trials…!

And right beside the Luo Shen Empress!

H-How could this be…

At this moment, Lanling Tianxuan felt an unprecedented chill and regret throughout his body, his heart filled with utter despair.

Looking around, there wasn't a single person from the Lanling Clan here…

Even that ten-thousand-year-old Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma was in Luo Ruying’s hands.

Needless to say, he also knew that in these Immortal Realm Trials, he was probably the only one left from his clan…

"Clan Head Lanling, why did you do this?"

Luo Ruying walked before Lanling Tianxuan with a cold face and demanded, her brows furrowed.

She had originally felt grateful to Lanling Tianxuan for telling her about the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma and had intended to build a good relationship.

Unfortunately, the other party had only wanted to use and scheme against her, and even put her in a deadly situation!

"Luo Shen Empress, Demon Lord, I was only temporarily blinded to have made such a decision!"

"I implore you to spare me…!"

"As the Head of the Lanling Clan, the disciples at home still need me…"

"In the future, my Lanling Clan is willing to become a subordinate family of the Luo Shen Palace!"

Lanling Tianxuan pleaded bitterly to Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, his body trembling slightly.

Luo Ruying just gave Lanling Tianxuan a cold glance, then proactively turned and left, holding Luo Hongye.

Unfortunately, she had heard everything Lanling Tianxuan and Fengxiao had said just now!

Seeing Luo Ruying leave, Lanling Tianxuan felt the last sliver of hope in his heart shatter, and he was filled with incomparable despair.

His only chance of survival at the moment was to play the emotional card to move Luo Ruying. Perhaps if her heart softened, there would be a sliver of a chance.

Yet she had left…

With Luo Ruying gone, Ning Yechen stood before Lanling Tianxuan, a "cordial" and cold smile on his face.
