Vol. 1 - Chapter 37 - A Gentle Person
When the men in black snapped out of their daze, they stopped paying
attention to Zhang He and pointed their swords at Luo Ruying.
Seeing this, Luo Ruying sighed softly for a moment, and then a cold look
swept across her eyes.
Since they did not want to leave, they could not blame her!
The assassins in black glanced at each other. They jumped into the air
in unison and hacked at Luo Ruying with their swords!
Luo Ruying did not move. The moment the assassins approached her, her
body moved gracefully.
A silver crescent sword light flashed past!
Luo Ruying put away her heavenly sword. Blood spurted from the assassins
in midair as they fell to the ground one after another.
Ning Yechen, hiding at the side, had already covered Luo Hongye's eyes.
This bloody scene might scare his daughter.
If his wife found out, she would definitely be angry.
With her eyes covered, Luo Hongye turned her head and said in a
child-like tone, "Daddy, your hands are blocking my eyes. I can't see
anything."
Ning Yechen smiled and coaxed Luo Hongye, "I'm playing a game with you.
Close your eyes. Let's compete to see who can keep their eyes closed
the longest, okay?"
Hearing this was a game, Luo Hongye closed her eyes without hesitation.
"Okay! Daddy, have you closed your eyes?"
"Of course, I've already closed my eyes," Ning Yechen said with a smile.
However, he did not close his eyes at all.
The naïve Luo Hongye did not know at all.
Meanwhile...
Qi Yuan watched Luo Ruying fight in amazement, her eyes full of
admiration for Luo Ruying's graceful moves and strength. "A-amazing!"
With just a single move, she killed several Spiritual Energy Martial
realm fighters!
Also, she was so beautiful.
Qi Yuan felt that she could not compare to Luo Ruying in terms of looks
and cultivation.
After Luo Ruying put away her heavenly sword, she walked over to Qi
Yuan, bent over, and reached out her hand. "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm okay. Thank you for saving me, Big Sister!" Qi Yuan held Luo
Ruying's hand in gratitude.
"B-Big Sister?" Luo Ruying was stunned by this address.
She was not young anymore and was even old enough to be her grandmother.
Seeing Luo Ruying's surprise in her eyes, Qi Yuan hurriedly waved her
hand and apologized. "I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?"
Seeing how young and beautiful Luo Ruying was, she automatically called
her big sister.
In hindsight, it might have sounded like she had no boundaries.
This woman did not know her at all, so it might be impolite to call her
big sister.
Luo Ruying smiled and shook her head. "It's fine. It's just a form of
address."
"Then, can I call you big sister?" Qi Yuan asked expectantly.
Luo Ruying did not disagree and nodded gently.
"Great! May I ask what your name is?" Qi Yuan happily held Luo Ruying's
hand.
"My name is Luo Ruying."
"Are you heading to Nanli City too?"
The most famous city in the area was Nanli City.
Most people who appeared here were going to Nanli City.
Luo Ruying wanted to find a new place to live in seclusion, so she
nodded. "Uh-huh. My husband, our child, and I plan to move to Nanli
City."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan opened her mouth in astonishment. "Husband and
child? You're married?"
Seeing Luo Ruying's appearance, Qi Yuan did not expect her to be
married.
For cultivators, it was indeed difficult to judge their age from their
appearance.
She wondered which man had the luck to marry a woman as gorgeous as Luo
Ruying.
Luo Ruying's face blushed slightly, and she nodded with a smile.
This was her first time admitting she was a married woman.
Just as Qi Yuan was about to ask more, rustling sounds came from the
trees behind Luo Ruying.
Qi Yuan frowned and held her sword cautiously.
Luo Ruying turned her head.
She had already detected people coming but did not move.
With a smile on his face, Ning Yechen slowly walked out of the bushes,
carrying Luo Hongye in his arms. "Dear, you didn't return for a long
time, so I became worried and came over with Yeye."
Qi Yuan stared at Ning Yechen and went into a daze.
Her initial caution was gone with the wind.
She had never seen such a good-looking man.
He had a gentle and friendly smile, gave off a relaxed and elegant
temperament, and seemed calm and composed in all his actions.
From a look, she could tell he was a gentle person.
Earlier, Qi Yuan had wondered which man had the dumb luck to win Luo
Ruying's love.
After seeing Ning Yechen, she suddenly felt they were a match made in
heaven.
They genuinely looked like a perfect match standing together.
When Luo Ruying saw Ning Yechen come over with their daughter, she
glared at him. "Why did you come with Yeye?"
With a wave of her hands, she got rid of all the bodies.
This scene was not child-friendly.
Luo Ruying reached her hands out and took Luo Hongye from Ning Yechen.
Seeing Luo Hongye's eyes closed tightly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeye, you can open your eyes."
"I can't, Mommy."
"Huh? Why not?" Luo Ruying asked quizzically.
"I'm playing a game with Daddy. Whoever keeps their eyes closed longer
wins," Luo Hongye said seriously.
Hearing this, Luo Ruying knew Ning Yechen must have used this trick to
coax Luo Hongye and rolled her eyes at him.
He probably never closed his eyes the entire time.
Fortunately, the child did not witness the bloody scene.
"Yeye, you can open your eyes. I admit defeat."
"Really? I win~" Luo Hongye opened her eyes and raised her hands
happily.
Luo Hongye saw Qi Yuan beside Luo Ruying, looking straight at her. She
shyly shrank into her mother's arms.
"Yeye, don't be afraid. She's not a bad person." Luo Ruying stroked Luo
Hongye's back and turned to apologize to Qi Yuan. "Sorry, she's not
good with strangers."
Qi Yuan hurriedly looked away and apologized. "It's okay. I guess I
scared her."
She did not mean to scare Luo Hongye, but she could not resist
approaching the girl.
Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen were astounding enough, and even their child
was adorable!
The exquisite little human looked cute!
She could not resist taking a second look at her.
Qi Yuan supported the seriously injured Zhang He and turned to say to
Luo Ruying, "Big Sister Luo, we're going back to Nanli City as well. Why
don't we go together? My horse carriage is up ahead. Please let me thank
you by giving you a ride."
Luo Ruying thought for a moment and did not decline.
They were not far from Nanli City.
It was a good idea to go by carriage to avoid attracting attention.
