Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 75
This is My Duty

At the Festival Market

Night had gradually fallen, but the streets were still bustling with crowds.

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, hand-in-hand with Luo Hongye, continued to stroll through the various streets, watching numerous performances and buying all sorts of things from different stalls.

Although they were “buying” things, they hadn’t actually spent a single penny…

Either they won prizes, or it happened to be the 20th anniversary of the shop’s opening with limited-time free offers…

Some even directly declared that everything was free due to the festival…

This happened for over a dozen stalls in a row…

Luo Ruying couldn’t help but feel that the people of Nanli City were incredibly warm and friendly.

Even when they were making a loss, these shop owners could still be so enthusiastic and cheerful…

And it seemed their luck had been exceptionally good today…

They were winning prizes everywhere they went…

Could it be that the winning rate had been deliberately increased for the festival?

Luo Ruying couldn’t help but wonder.

It seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

Yue Qingyou, who had been following behind Ning Yechen, diligently recorded Luo Hongye’s preferences but also kept a close eye on Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying.

Although she didn’t know why, she always felt that the relationship between the Demon Lord and Madam was quite subtle…

She had sensed it during their time at home.

Now, on their date in the bustling market, she could feel it even more clearly.

They were clearly husband and wife, yet they interacted with each other politely and respectfully…

It wasn’t that their relationship was bad; on the contrary, their bond was quite good, but it always felt like something was missing!

In this lively and festive atmosphere, it was the perfect opportunity for a date, yet they weren’t even holding hands!

The Demon Lord and Madam has even given birth to a child…?

Yet, why do they act like a couple in their first love…

Yue Qingyou furrowed her brows slightly, her expression puzzled.

Could it be that the Demon Lord is shy?!

Considering the Demon Lord’s experience of being single for hundreds of years, it was indeed possible for him to be like this in his first marriage…

Although she was already content to witness the Demon Lord getting married and having children, she still hoped to see more loving interactions between the Demon Lord and Madam!

Ideally, they would maintain their passionate love every day and have a few more little princes or princesses!

No matter how many children Madam gave birth to, she would take responsibility for raising them well and nurturing them into Demon Realm rulers, no less capable than the Demon Lord himself!

Thinking of this, Yue Qingyou couldn’t contain her excitement, and the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably.

In her mind, she was already imagining the scene of her taking care of a bunch of children for Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying in the future…

How happy she would be then!

Cai Se and the other two, standing beside Yue Qingyou, felt a chill run down their spines when they saw her suddenly smiling foolishly…

They had already witnessed the terrifying side of this woman.

What could possibly make her show such a ‘frightening’ smile…?

Yue Qingyou also realized her lapse in composure and quickly regained her usual dignified and elegant demeanor.

It isn’t the time to rejoice yet…

For the sake of the Demon Lord and the future of the Demon Realm, she decided to secretly give the Demon Lord a little push!

“All idle personnel, listen up, emergency mission!”

Yue Qingyou issued a command through a secret voice transmission to everyone lurking in Nanli City.

In an instant, all the Demon Gods, Shadow Guards, and Imperial Guard commanders who were undercover in Nanli City received the message. Their eyes narrowed slightly, their expressions turning incredibly solemn!

An emergency mission…?!

It had been ages since the Demon Realm had received such an urgent task!

Everyone stood at attention, awaiting Yue Qingyou’s instructions.

Voice transmission was a heavenly technique that transformed sound into a special spiritual energy that entered another person’s mind, allowing the sound to be replayed within their consciousness.

This faint and unique spiritual energy was generally difficult to detect.

Especially when the voice transmission was from someone with a higher cultivation level, it was even harder for ordinary people to perceive.

However, when facing someone with a cultivation level far superior to one’s own, voice transmission could still be detected.

As soon as Yue Qingyou’s voice transmission went out, Ning Yechen sensed it.

He turned his head to look at her with a puzzled expression, as if asking what major event had occurred?

Why is an emergency mission necessary?

He hasn’t noticed anything unusual…?

However, Yue Qingyou had no intention of explaining to Ning Yechen. She simply gave him a meaningful smile.

This smile made Ning Yechen feel a sense of foreboding…

As expected, the already bustling crowd suddenly swelled with even more people.

The throng pushed past Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, squeezing them tightly together…

Someone ‘accidentally’ bumped into Luo Ruying, catching her off guard and pushing her into Ning Yechen’s arms…

Ning Yechen instinctively reached out and wrapped his arms around Luo Ruying’s waist, protecting her in his embrace.

Luo Ruying, pressed against Ning Yechen’s chest, couldn’t help but blush slightly.

“The crowd seems to have suddenly gotten larger…”

“Yes, it has…”

“Be careful, dear…”

Ning Yechen said with a forced smile.

He turned his head and glared at Yue Qingyou.

“What are you doing?!”

The sudden increase in the crowd, and the person who pushed Luo Ruying, were clearly all people from the Demon Realm!

Yue Qingyou replied calmly, “I am lending a helping hand to the Demon Lord.”

“You don’t need to thank me; this is my duty.”

“I’m not thanking you!”

“And besides, this isn’t part of your duties!”

Ning Yechen secretly scolded Yue Qingyou.

Yue Qingyou didn’t think she had done anything wrong and retorted righteously, “What are you talking about, Demon Lord?”

“Anything related to you and Madam is a matter of the Demon Realm, and therefore falls under my responsibilities.”

“Although my words may be presumptuous, Demon Lord, you should be bolder and more direct. Madam won’t object.”

“Since I arrived, it seems I haven’t seen you and Madam consummate your marriage.”

Ning Yechen: “…”

“You shut up…!”

“I have my own plans for this…”

“You don’t need to interfere.”

Ning Yechen warned Yue Qingyou, exasperated.

She used to urge him to get married, but now she was even pushing for this…!

Although he is quite eager too, everything should progress gradually, right…?

“I understand.”

Yue Qingyou readily agreed, but her expression didn’t show any signs of giving up…

Ning Yechen felt that she hadn’t taken his words to heart at all…

Luo Ruying straightened up from Ning Yechen’s embrace. Seeing the crowd growing denser, she bent down and picked up Luo Hongye to avoid getting separated.

Ning Yechen also took the opportunity to reach out and hold Luo Ruying’s hand.

Her hand was suddenly grasped tightly, and Luo Ruying’s heart skipped a beat. Realizing it was Ning Yechen, she relaxed and gently squeezed his hand in return…

With the crowd so packed, holding hands would prevent them from being separated…

Yue Qingyou, following behind, saw this and smiled contentedly.

This was what she wanted to see…

It was time for the next step…
