Chapter 37
He Seems Like a Very Gentle Person
Reacting to the sudden turn of events, the assassins temporarily abandoned Zhang He on the ground and turned their blades toward Luo Ruying.
Seeing this, Luo Ruying sighed softly, then her expression hardened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Since they refused to leave, she couldn’t blame her for what happened next!
The assassins exchanged glances and leaped into the air, their swords aimed at Luo Ruying!
Luo Ruying stood firm. As the assassins closed in, she gracefully moved, her figure tracing a beautiful arc.
A silver crescent moon-shaped sword beam flashed!
As Luo Ruying sheathed her sword, the assassins were simultaneously showered with blood blossoms, their bodies falling to the ground.
Hidden nearby, Ning Yechen had already covered Luo Hongye’s eyes with his hand.
He couldn’t let his daughter witness this bloody scene…
If his wife found out, she would definitely be angry…
Her vision blocked, Luo Hongye turned her head and asked with a puzzled voice, “Daddy, your hand is blocking Ye Ye’s view.”
“Ye Ye can’t see anymore.”
“Ye Ye, Daddy will play a game with you now.”
“Close your eyes, and let’s see who opens them last, okay?”
Ning Yechen coaxed Luo Hongye with a smile.
“Okay, okay~”
“Daddy, have you closed your eyes too?”
Luo Hongye, hearing that it was a game, didn’t suspect a thing and tightly closed her eyes.
“Of course, Daddy has already closed his eyes,” Ning Yechen said with a smile.
However, he hadn’t closed his eyes at all…
The naive Luo Hongye was completely fooled…
Meanwhile.
Qi Yuan stared at Luo Ruying in awe, her eyes filled with admiration for her graceful movements and formidable strength.
So, so powerful…!
With a single sword strike, she had killed several Martial Spirit Realm experts!
And she is so beautiful…
Compared to Luo Ruying, both in appearance and cultivation, Qi Yuan felt a deep sense of inadequacy.
After sheathing her sword, Luo Ruying slowly walked towards Qi Yuan, bent down, and extended her hand.
“Are you alright?”
“I-I’m fine…”
“Thank you for saving me, sister!”
Qi Yuan grasped Luo Ruying’s hand and stood up, expressing her gratitude.
“Sister…?”
Luo Ruying was momentarily taken aback by the form of address.
She isn’t exactly young…
She is old enough to be Qi Yuan’s grandmother…
Seeing Luo Ruying’s surprised expression, Qi Yuan quickly apologized, waving her hands.
“I’m sorry, did I offend you?”
Seeing how young and beautiful Luo Ruying was, she had instinctively called her “sister.”
Now, she realized it might have been too familiar.
They didn’t know each other, and calling her “sister” so casually was quite rude.
Luo Ruying smiled gently and shook her head.
“It’s alright.”
“It’s just a form of address.”
“Then… can I continue calling you sister?” Qi Yuan asked with anticipation.
Luo Ruying didn’t refuse and nodded slightly.
“That’s great!”
“May I ask what your name is, sister?”
Qi Yuan asked, her joy evident in her excited movements, as she took Luo Ruying’s hand.
“My name is Luo Ruying,” Luo Ruying replied calmly.
“Sister Luo, are you also heading to the Southern Li capital?” Qi Yuan asked, her eyes sparkling.
The nearest and most famous city was the Southern Li capital.
Those who appeared in this area were usually heading there.
Luo Ruying was also planning to find a town to settle down in, so she nodded in agreement with Qi Yuan’s words.
“Yes, my husband and I are taking our child to the Southern Li capital.”
“Husband?! Child?”
“Sister Luo, you, you’re married?” Qi Yuan asked, her mouth agape in surprise.
Looking at Luo Ruying’s appearance, she couldn’t imagine that she was already a wife…
But with cultivators, it was indeed difficult to judge age by appearance.
Just who was the lucky man who married such a beautiful woman like Sister Luo…?
Luo Ruying blushed slightly and nodded with a smile.
This was the first time she had admitted to being married in front of others.
Just as Qi Yuan was about to ask further questions, there was a rustling sound from the bushes behind Luo Ruying.
Qi Yuan immediately frowned and gripped her sword vigilantly.
Luo Ruying also turned her head.
However, she had already sensed who it was and didn’t react.
Ning Yechen emerged from the bushes, holding Luo Hongye, a charming smile on his face.
“Wife, you were gone for a while, and I was worried, so I brought Ye Ye over.”
Qi Yuan stared at the suddenly appearing Ning Yechen, completely mesmerized.
Her initial wariness vanished in an instant…
She had never seen such a handsome man before…
He wore a gentle and approachable smile, and he exuded an air of elegance and composure, calm and collected.
He seemed like a very gentle person…
Qi Yuan had been wondering which man was lucky enough to win Luo Ruying’s heart.
But seeing Ning Yechen at this moment, she suddenly felt that they were truly a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.
Looking at them standing together, she felt an inexplicable sense of harmony between them…
“Why did you bring Ye Ye here?” Luo Ruying asked, giving Ning Yechen a slight glare.
With a wave of her hand, she quickly concealed the corpses around them.
She couldn’t let her child see this scene…
Luo Ruying took Luo Hongye from Ning Yechen’s arms. Seeing that her eyes were still tightly closed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ye Ye, you can open your eyes now.”
“No, Mommy.”
“Hmm? Why not?”
Luo Ruying asked, puzzled.
“Ye Ye is playing a game with Daddy. We’re competing to see who opens their eyes last,” Luo Hongye replied seriously.
Luo Ruying immediately knew that this was Ning Yechen’s trick to get Luo Hongye to close her eyes. She shot him another glare.
That guy definitely hadn’t closed his eyes at all…
But at least their child hadn’t seen the bloody scene.
“Ye Ye, you can open your eyes now.”
“Your daddy has already lost.”
“Really?”
“Then Ye Ye won~!”
Luo Hongye opened her eyes and happily raised her hands in victory.
Suddenly noticing Qi Yuan staring at her, she quickly hid shyly in Luo Ruying’s embrace.
“Don’t be afraid, Ye Ye. She’s not a bad person,” Luo Ruying said, gently stroking Luo Hongye’s back. She turned to Qi Yuan and apologized, “Sorry, Ye Ye is a bit shy around strangers.”
“No, it’s okay…”
“It seems I startled her…”
Qi Yuan quickly averted her gaze and apologized.
She hadn’t meant to scare Luo Hongye; she simply couldn’t help herself…
Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen had already amazed her, but she hadn’t expected their child to be so adorable as well!
She was as delicate and charming as a porcelain doll!
She couldn’t resist taking a closer look…
“Sister Luo, Uncle Zhang and I are also heading to the Southern Li capital. Why don’t we travel together?”
“Our carriage is not far ahead.”
“As a token of gratitude, let me give you a ride.”
Qi Yuan said to Luo Ruying while helping the injured Zhang He to his feet.
Luo Ruying considered for a moment and didn’t refuse.
They weren’t far from the Southern Li capital.
To avoid attracting attention, traveling by carriage was a good idea.
