LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 40 - Cripple His Third Leg
Chapter 40
Cripple His Third Leg
Jiang Li and his entourage were stunned.
They instantly felt that the overwhelming pressure emanating from Luo Ruying was far beyond anything they could withstand!
The terrifying force slammed them to the ground!
Just as Luo Ruying was about to teach Jiang Li a more severe lesson, a figure suddenly leaped out from seemingly nowhere and landed in front of them.
It was an elderly man with a hooked nose and a head full of gray hair.
The old man extended his withered hands and forcefully blocked Luo Ruying’s aura. He staggered back several steps, nearly falling to the ground!
What a powerful aura!
This young woman, despite her youthful appearance, possessed a cultivation at least equal to his own, at the Immortal Transformation Realm!
Perhaps even stronger!
“Young lady, my young master didn’t mean to offend you. Please don’t take it to heart,” the old man, Zhao Zhuohao, said politely to Luo Ruying, cupping his hands.
He sensed that Luo Ruying’s cultivation was higher than his own and that he might not be a match for her!
Luo Ruying frowned slightly, withdrawing her aura, and said indifferently:
“Are you his guardian?”
A guardian, as the name implied, was usually a personal bodyguard assigned by wealthy families to protect their promising offspring.
Guardians typically remained hidden near their charges, only appearing when they were in danger.
Luo Ruying hadn’t expected that even a scum like Jiang Li would have a guardian.
It seemed the Jiang family was indeed quite powerful.
Zhao Zhuohao nodded, acknowledging his role as a guardian.
“Elder Zhao, this matter can’t be left unsettled!”
“Quickly capture her for me!”
Jiang Li, who had fallen to the ground in fear, was now enraged and humiliated. He pointed at Luo Ruying and ordered.
He had never suffered such humiliation in Nanli City!
“Young Master, the Patriarch is waiting for you to return.”
“If we keep the Patriarch waiting, Master will be angry.”
Zhao Zhuohao turned to Jiang Li and tried to persuade him.
He knew his young master’s character very well; he would never let this matter rest. So, he leaned closer and whispered in his ear:
“Young Master, that woman is not easy to deal with.”
“If you like her, I’ll find a way to bring her to you later. Let’s forget about it for today.”
Jiang Li glared at Luo Ruying, his face dark with anger. He was unwilling to let it go.
But hearing Zhao Zhuohao promise to bring this woman to him later, a lecherous glint flickered in Jiang Li’s eyes, and he licked his lips in anticipation.
Fine, he would spare this woman for now!
Once she fell into his hands, he would make her pay!
“Let’s go!” Jiang Li shouted to his guards, getting up and storming off.
Before leaving, he gave Luo Ruying another meaningful glance.
A married woman, huh…
That makes it even more exciting.
Zhao Zhuohao gave Luo Ruying an apologetic smile, then followed Jiang Li and disappeared from sight.
“I’m sorry, Sister Luo, Brother Ning, for causing you trouble…” Qi Yuan apologized with a bow.
Jiang Li was clearly targeting her. If she hadn’t insisted on coming along, Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen wouldn’t have been harassed.
Although Luo Ruying felt frustrated, she shook her head, indicating that it was alright.
If it weren’t for Luo Hongye and Ning Yechen, she would have killed Jiang Li for his lewd gaze!
If this matter could end here, then so be it.
But if he dared to offend them again, she wouldn’t show any mercy!
“Let’s go,” Luo Ruying said, turning to Ning Yechen.
However, she found him staring at her with a silly grin…
“What, what’s wrong with you…?”
Luo Ruying asked, puzzled.
“Nothing, wife. I’m just happy that you finally called me ‘husband’ again~” Ning Yechen said, leaning closer to her with a smile.
He had been quite angry initially, but when he heard Luo Ruying say, “You dare insult my husband?!” his heart bloomed with joy.
This was the second time she had used this intimate term for him, after she had told him to escape with their child.
Luo Ruying blushed, remembering what she had said.
She had been so angry at Jiang Li for calling Ning Yechen a “pretty boy” that she blurted it out.
Thinking back on it now, she felt a bit embarrassed…
But they are husband and wife, so it is a normal way to address him, right? Is this guy really so happy just because of one sentence…
Qi Yuan, watching the two of them gazing at each other, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:
Sister Luo and her husband have such a good relationship…
It is just… their relationship seems a bit awkward…?
Even though they already have a child.
“Wife, can you call me ‘husband’ like that from now on?” Ning Yechen asked with a smile, clinging to Luo Ruying’s side.
Luo Ruying’s cheeks flushed a bright red, and she murmured softly, “I-I’ll try… when the opportunity arises…”
Calling Ning Yechen “husband” so casually was still a bit embarrassing for her…
But seeing how happy Ning Yechen was, she couldn’t refuse outright. She could only shyly postpone it to the future.
Once she got used to it, she would naturally start calling him that…
Ning Yechen smiled. Although he felt a little regretful, he wasn’t in a hurry. He took Luo Ruying’s hand and continued strolling down the street.
There is no rush; they have plenty of time.
Luo Ruying, holding their child in one arm and letting Ning Yechen hold her other hand, made for a heartwarming scene.
Qi Yuan, walking behind them, felt a bit awkward about approaching them…
Is she being a third wheel…?
As Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying passed by a stall, they crossed paths with three figures wearing bamboo hats.
The three figures had their backs to them as they sat at the stall, eating.
As Ning Yechen and his family walked past, the faces of the three Demon Kings were revealed under their hats.
That’s right, it was the Chaos Bull Demon and the other two, who had been following Ning Yechen!
They had been secretly tailing him, waiting for his instructions.
They had witnessed everything that had just happened.
Seeing Jiang Li’s disrespect towards Luo Ruying and even daring to call their Master a “pretty boy,” the three of them were terrified!
They were worried that their Master, in his anger, would flatten Nanli City…
The Sky-Swallowing Python pretended to eat, her gaze not meeting Ning Yechen’s, but she sent him a message through voice transmission:
—Master! Should we kill those who offended you?
—Don’t kill that Jiang Li, just cripple his third leg. Kill the rest. Remember to keep it quiet. Don’t disturb my stroll with my wife and child.
Ning Yechen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he replied through voice transmission.
He spoke as if he was instructing them to do something completely ordinary.
Receiving their orders, the three Demon Kings silently got up from the stall and walked towards Jiang Li and his entourage…
They wondered why their Master only wanted to cripple that man’s third leg and not kill him.
Thinking about it carefully, they realized that their Master probably wanted to take care of him personally. They couldn’t help but feel sorry for Jiang Li…
Dying at their hands would at least be a quick death.
But in their Master’s hands, it might not be so painless…
