CHAPTER 319: ACKNOWLEDGING THE CHILD BUT NOT THE HUSBAND

Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

"No!"

"I absolutely will not allow it!"

Hearing that the Luo Shen was going to kill Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying immediately voiced her angry opposition.

She then closed her beautiful eyes and proactively began to fight for control of her body.

"You…! You're infuriating me!"

"He is the Demon Lord!"

"Since ancient times, the demon clan and my immortal clan have been mortal enemies!"

"Have you not witnessed the fierceness of the demon clan!" Seeing Luo Ruying refuse to see reason, the Luo Shen said with indignation.

She was now increasingly suspicious. Was Luo Ruying really her reincarnated divine soul…

"Although my husband is the Demon Lord, he has never proactively started any conflicts!"

"Everything he has done has only been to protect me and our child!"

"Besides, you have also seen, Luo Shen, that under my husband, the Demon Realm is no longer the same as it once was!"

"I believe that with my husband and me, the Celestial and Demon realms will surely coexist in harmony from now on!"

Luo Ruying said, trying to persuade the Luo Shen, her eyes showing her resolve, her expression firm.

Her memories had also merged with the Luo Shen's, and she had seen all the efforts her past self had made for the peace of the Six Realms.

She felt that her past self and the her of this moment were not different.

She would surely be able to convince herself!

However, Luo Ruying had still underestimated the deep-rooted prejudice between the Immortal and Demon realms that had existed for tens of thousands of years.

Seeing that she could not persuade Luo Ruying, the Luo Shen’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She let out a regretful sigh, and a Luo Shen Celestial Sword materialized in her hand.

"In that case, then this Lord can only forcefully merge with you!"

"For the sake of my husband and my child, I will absolutely not be captured without a fight!"

Luo Ruying’s expression was solemn, and a Luo Shen Celestial Sword likewise materialized in her hand.

The two stood separately on the two palms of the Luo Shen Divine Venerable statue, their beautiful eyes gazing at each other.

The next moment, the two vanished in an instant, and a flurry of sword light flashed!

Two divine rainbows continuously flickered and collided around the Luo Shen Divine Venerable statue, their sword qi crisscrossing, and waves of spiritual energy shook the entire sea of consciousness.

The two were both the Luo Shen and possessed each other's same moves and memories. For a time, they were locked in an inseparable struggle, neither able to do anything to the other.

Luo Ruying’s will was firm, and she did not hold back in the slightest!

She knew that if she lost and their divine souls merged into one, she might disappear forever!

For her child…

For him…!

She could not lose!

……

Outside the sea of consciousness.

Ning Yechen, holding Luo Hongye, had once again dodged several of Luo Shen’s sword strikes in a row.

Just as the Luo Shen was about to swing her sword in pursuit again, her body suddenly froze, the arm holding the sword stuck in mid-air.

"Damn it…!"

The Luo Shen gritted her silver teeth. After a moment, she finally regained control of her arm with great difficulty.

Ning Yechen also noticed the Luo Shen's abnormality.

From the very beginning, the Luo Shen’s movements had been hesitant, and her body would occasionally show some uncoordinated signs.

It seems my wife's consciousness has awakened…

"My wife, this husband advises you to just give up."

"You can't kill this husband."

"Besides, it seems to this husband that you can't bear to kill me either~" Ning Yechen said with a faint smile, teasing the Luo Shen with great interest.

If the Luo Shen was Luo Ruying’s other half-wisp of a divine soul, then she should also be considered his wife, right…?

The way she was swinging her sword and chasing him was as if they had returned to ten years ago, when the two first met and Luo Ruying had almost wanted to kill him.

It felt as if, after a decade, his wife was settling old scores with him…

"Hmph! Who is your wife!"

"This Lord will cut you down now!"

The Luo Shen (in Luo Ruying's body) gave Ning Yechen a coquettish and angry glare. After regaining control of her body, she once again flew forward and swung her sword at him.

"My wife, if you say that, this husband will be very sad~"

Ning Yechen raised two fingers and, with a smile, blocked one falling sword strike after another.

"Who cares about you!"

"Accept your death!"

Seeing that she couldn't do anything to Ning Yechen, the Luo Shen was furious and intensified her assault.

The streaks of sword light were so fast they couldn't be seen, and sharp sword qi, accompanied by the blade's glow, flew about wantonly.

Ning Yechen, however, still had a relaxed and comfortable expression, his two fingers dealing with the attacks with ease.

The Luo Shen, wearing Luo Ruying’s lovely face and showing an expression of shame and anger, in his eyes, looked just like his wife throwing a tantrum, which was strangely cute…

Looking at Ning Yechen’s effortless and doting expression, as if he were just playing with her, the Luo Shen’s heart was filled with growing shame and anger.

Through Luo Ruying’s memories, she knew that Ning Yechen was very powerful, his cultivation immeasurable, but she never thought she would be completely unable to do anything to him!

It infuriated her!

Luo Hongye, nestled in Ning Yechen’s embrace, stared with her big eyes, a trace of confusion on her little face as she looked at the Luo Shen.

Why is Mommy hitting Daddy…?

And just at this moment, the Luo Shen, flustered and angry, wasn't paying attention, and the blade she swung slashed towards Luo Hongye in Ning Yechen’s arms!

The Luo Shen turned pale with fright. By the time she wanted to pull her hand back, it was already too late!

Fortunately, before the blade could touch Luo Hongye, it was caught firmly by Ning Yechen’s hand.

"My wife, you could have hurt the child like that." Ning Yechen said with a slight frown, his tone a little reproachful.

"Sob sob sob... Mommy…”

"Can Mommy please not hit Daddy anymore…?"

"Ye Ye doesn't want to see Mommy and Daddy fight…"

Luo Hongye was also startled. She couldn't help but cry, and rubbing her eyes, she spoke to the Luo Shen with a sad face.

Seeing that she had made the child cry, the Luo Shen’s heart clenched. She felt incomparably self-reproachful and sad, and subconsciously couldn't help but want to take the child into her arms.

"Almost hurting the child, that was my fault…"

The Luo Shen sheathed her Luo Shen Celestial Sword, her expression guilty and self-reproachful.

She then pointed at Ning Yechen with dissatisfaction and said:

"You, put the child down!"

"Otherwise, it's difficult for this Lord to attack you!"

Ning Yechen: "..."

Ning Yechen revealed a helpless expression and gently put Luo Hongye, who was in his arms, down.

Luo Hongye, standing on the ground, in order not to let Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying fight anymore, directly walked with her little short legs to the Luo Shen, hugged her thigh, lifted her head, and called out in a pitiful, sweet voice:

"Mommy…"

This one call of "Mommy" instantly shook the Luo Shen’s mind, and her body once again froze uncontrollably on the spot.

Looking at Luo Hongye’s tender and cute little face, and her big, expectant eyes, the Luo Shen finally couldn't resist squatting down and pulling Luo Hongye into her embrace.

Using the method of comforting a child from her memories, she gently stroked her back.

This is her child…

No matter what, the child is innocent…

"Ye Ye, I'm sorry. Mommy didn't do it on purpose…" The Luo Shen said with great apology, gently stroking Luo Hongye.

"Can Mommy please not fight with Daddy anymore?"

Luo Hongye asked, nestling in the Luo Shen’s embrace and looking up with an expectant little face.

"Okay…!"

"Mommy promises Ye Ye!" The Luo Shen hesitated for a moment, then nodded in reply.

She then turned her head to look at Ning Yechen.

"Demon Lord, I'll let you off for now today!"

After speaking, the Luo Shen, holding Luo Hongye, leaped and transformed into a divine rainbow and flew away.

Right now, she had not yet fully merged with Luo Ruying’s divine soul, and her realm was not yet stable. She was indeed no match for the Demon Lord.

If she continued, she wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

It was better to take the child and leave for now, and settle the score with him later!

Ning Yechen raised an eyebrow slightly, looking speechlessly at the Luo Shen fleeing with Luo Hongye.

What a good wife…

Acknowledging the child but not the husband…

It seems he needs to reassert his husbandly authority!
