Chapter 63 - It's Too Safe!
Chapter 63
It’s Too Safe!
“This will be your room from now on.”
“If you need anything, just let me know.”
Luo Ruying led Yue Qingyou to a room in the inner courtyard and instructed her kindly.
“Thank you, Madam.”
Yue Qingyou bowed slightly in gratitude.
Every gesture exuded elegance, grace, and respect.
This made Luo Ruying even more curious about Ning Yechen’s family background.
What kind of family could cultivate such an outstanding and well-mannered servant…?
Ning Yechen followed closely behind Luo Ruying, constantly on guard in case Yue Qingyou made any strange moves or said anything unusual.
Currently, with Yue Qingyou constantly by Luo Ruying’s side, he had no opportunity to communicate with her privately.
And his voice transmissions were completely ignored by her!
It was as if she was certain he wouldn’t dare to act against her in front of Luo Ruying!
Just then, Luo Hongye, nestled in Luo Ruying’s arms, raised her head and said softly, “Mommy, Ye Ye is hungry…”
“Wife, why don’t you go prepare something for Ye Ye to eat.”
“Leave this to me.”
Ning Yechen seized the opportunity and interjected immediately.
As he spoke, he gently pushed Luo Ruying out of the room.
“Alright, then you two chat first.”
Luo Ruying, thinking that Ning Yechen probably wanted to catch up with his servant after a long time, didn’t think much of it and left first, carrying Luo Hongye.
“Then I’ll go help Madam.”
Yue Qingyou wanted to follow and assist Luo Ruying, but Ning Yechen immediately stopped her, interrupting.
“You stay!”
“I still have things to tell you…!”
After confirming that Luo Ruying was far away, Ning Yechen quickly closed the door, furrowed his brows, and questioned Yue Qingyou with a cold expression.
“What are you doing here?”
“To serve the Demon Lord, Madam, and the Little Princess.”
With Luo Ruying gone, Yue Qingyou immediately resumed her incredibly respectful demeanor, placing a hand on her chest as she replied.
“I’m no longer the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. You don’t need to stay by my side.”
“I don’t need your service either. Leave immediately!”
Ning Yechen sternly ordered Yue Qingyou to leave.
With them around, how could he live a peaceful, secluded life with his wife and child?!
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingyou’s expression turned solemn. She knelt on one knee, her hand still on her chest, and looked up at Ning Yechen, saying earnestly, “You will always be the one and only supreme ruler of our Demon Realm!”
“As we swore that day, we will forever follow by your side!”
“If you truly want us to leave forever, you’ll have to kill me with your own hands.”
Ning Yechen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he gently raised his hand. The space around Yue Qingyou instantly began to distort!
Yet, Yue Qingyou remained unmoved, showing no intention of resisting.
After a moment of hesitation, Ning Yechen sighed helplessly and compromised, “Get up…”
Sometimes he truly felt troubled by his subordinates’ excessive loyalty and fervor…
It made it impossible for him to retire even if he wanted to.
He had clearly instructed them not to look for him, yet they had persisted for over a hundred years…
He couldn’t bring himself to kill such loyal subordinates.
Yue Qingyou was definitely counting on this, knowing full well that he wouldn’t actually harm her…!
That’s why he was truly at a loss when it came to dealing with her!
And that was what frustrated him the most!
“Thank you, Demon Lord~”
Yue Qingyou couldn’t hide the faint smile on her lips as she stood up, as if nothing had happened.
“Tell me, how many people from the Demon Realm have you brought with you…?”
Ning Yechen sat down on a nearby chair, propping his cheek with one hand, his expression indifferent and arrogant, reminiscent of the Demon Lord of the past, as he questioned Yue Qingyou.
Seeing Ning Yechen in this Demon Lord-like posture once again filled Yue Qingyou’s heart with joy.
“Reporting to Demon Lord, I have ordered all thirteen Demon Gods to descend upon the Mortal Realm.”
“The First, Third, and Sixth Legions are also being mobilized, and they will all arrive in the Mortal Realm within a few days!”
“The various Legion Commanders, as well as your Shadow Guards and Imperial Guards, have also successively arrived in the city!”
“I have arranged identities for each of them, concealing them throughout the city, ready to await your orders at any time!”
“We will ensure the safety of Madam and the Little Princess!”
“Of course, we will never disturb your life with Madam and the Little Princess, Demon Lord.”
Ning Yechen: “…”
“This is already a major disturbance to my life!!!”
Ning Yechen rubbed his forehead, unable to resist complaining.
All thirteen Demon Gods descending upon the Mortal Realm, plus three legions totaling nearly a million people!!!
And that’s not even counting the Shadow Guards and Imperial Guards!
This didn’t look like they were here for protection; it was more like they were about to launch an attack on the entire Mortal Realm!
And with this, they still expected him to live a peaceful life…?
“Keep the minimum necessary personnel in the city, and send all the legions back to the Demon Realm!”
Ning Yechen glanced at Yue Qingyou and ordered with displeasure.
Yue Qingyou’s mobilization of forces alone was enough to flatten the entire Mortal Realm…
Yue Qingyou hesitated and said, “Demon Lord, wouldn’t this be insufficient for safety?”
“It’s already safe enough!”
“It’s too safe!”
“With you and me here, it’s completely sufficient.”
Ning Yechen said, exasperated.
With him present, there was no need for any protection at all, yet Yue Qingyou had made such a big fuss by bringing so many people.
The thirteen Demon Gods alone were all at the Immortal Emperor level, not to mention Yue Qingyou herself had come…
Hearing Ning Yechen’s last sentence, Yue Qingyou interpreted it as trust in her. She smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
“I understand. Everything will be done according to the Demon Lord’s will.”
“For the time being, you will stay in the house as a servant…”
Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of Yue Qingyou, Ning Yechen had no choice but to temporarily keep her in the house.
Yue Qingyou was a very astute and conscientious person. Even with her presence, she most likely wouldn’t disrupt his life.
Moreover, with Yue Qingyou by Luo Ruying and her daughter’s side, he could feel more at ease.
Her presence was incomparable to that of Meng Niu and the other two…
“I have always been your personal attendant, Demon Lord.”
Yue Qingyou retorted seriously, countering Ning Yechen’s previous statement.
Ning Yechen didn’t bother arguing with her any further. Instead, he directly called Meng Niu and the others over and instructed them, “You three, from now on, when I’m not around, you will obey her every command.”
“Yes, Master…!”
Meng Niu and the others bowed respectfully in response.
They already knew Ning Yechen’s identity as the Demon Lord and had witnessed Yue Qingyou’s terrifying strength firsthand, so they had no objections…
Yue Qingyou frowned at Meng Niu and the others, then turned to Ning Yechen and asked,
“Demon Lord, even if you want to keep pets, you should at least choose some powerful ones.”
“These three are too weak and completely useless.”
“They’re not even as good as the Hellhounds guarding the entrance to your Demon Palace.”
“Should I replace them with a new batch from the Demon Realm?”
Upon hearing this, Meng Niu and the others trembled in fear, their eyes welling up with tears as they looked at Ning Yechen…
If Master didn’t want them anymore, would they be disposed of directly…?
Even if they were indeed weak, they weren’t completely useless, right…?
They had learned to do laundry, cook, clean, chop wood, and start fires!
Ning Yechen also looked at Meng Niu and the others speechlessly. They didn’t have the slightest resemblance to the Demon Kings they were supposed to be…
“Keep these three. I quite enjoy having them around.”
“If that’s the case, then as the Demon Lord wishes.”
Seeing that Ning Yechen had said so, Yue Qingyou didn’t insist any further.
“Thank you, Master!”
Meng Niu and the others were instantly overwhelmed with gratitude, tears streaming down their faces.
Master hasn’t abandoned them…
They have managed to survive once again…
