Luo Ruying, holding Luo Hongye, was full of curiosity as she wandered through the Immortal Herb Garden.
Ning Yechen suddenly had an idea and took the opportunity to walk alone to another empty piece of lawn not far away.
Originally, this place was also prepared as farmland to grow other crops, but now he had a new idea!
Ning Yechen waved his sleeve, and tens of thousands of seeds scattered on the lawn like raindrops.
With a crisp "snap," Ning Yechen snapped his fingers, and the lawn immediately bloomed with a riot of flowers, covering the mountains and plains with colorful blooms!
The sea of flowers flourished, and the rich floral fragrance permeated a hundred miles away!
Luo Ruying was also suddenly attracted by the rich floral fragrance and stared blankly at the gorgeous and colorful flowers covering the mountains before her.
A gentle breeze swept through, scattering a vibrant rain of colorful flower petals.
Luo Hongye happily hopped out of Luo Ruying's embrace and skipped into the flower bushes.
"Well, my love, do you like it?"
Ning Yechen slowly walked to Luo Ruying's side and asked with a smile.
Luo Ruying turned her head to look at Ning Yechen, her face filled with disbelief.
"This, this was also planted by you...?"
Ning Yechen nodded.
Luo Ruying was greatly shocked.
Such a beautiful sea of flowers. How much time must it have taken to create this…?
Ning Yechen pulled Luo Ruying to sit down in the flower bushes, enjoying the gentle breeze and the refreshing fragrance.
Ever since escaping the Immortal Realm, Luo Ruying's nerves had been constantly on edge, worried that those people would come after them again.
But at this moment, her tense nerves finally began to relax…
Luo Ruying's slender fingers gently brushed away a few strands of hair from her cheek that were being blown by the breeze. A crescent-moon-like smile formed at the corner of her mouth, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
She then gently called out to Luo Hongye, who was playing in the flowers not far away:
"Yeye, be careful, don't run too fast, and don't go too far."
Ning Yechen stared blankly at Luo Ruying's beautiful profile. His heart stirred, and he couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around her slender waist.
Previously, he had looked at countless fairies and demonesses without feeling anything like this. For some reason, when he looked at Luo Ruying, he felt an indescribable flutter in his heart…
Could it be because she was his first woman, already his wife…?
His waist was suddenly embraced. Luo Ruying's delicate body trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she didn't resist.
However, her body was tense, and she was extremely nervous.
With her current cultivation in the Celestial Human Realm, it would be easy for her to break free, but she didn't do so.
On the one hand, she was worried about accidentally hurting Ning Yechen, as mortals were very fragile to cultivators.
On the other hand, she didn't actually dislike Ning Yechen in her heart, and had never looked down on him for being a mortal.
Although she had once blamed him for taking her body, now that they had a child and were considered a true married couple…
Holding each other like this should be a normal thing for a married couple, right…?
Ning Yechen watched Luo Ruying's body tense up, stiff as a board, and couldn't help but find it amusing. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered softly,
"Relax, my wife, your husband won't eat you."
"I, I'm not nervous…!"
Those words immediately made Luo Ruying's face flush red. She raised her eyes and glared at Ning Yechen with a coquettish expression of annoyance.
A mere mortal dared to tease her…!
Faced with Luo Ruying's coquettish glare, Ning Yechen didn't mind at all. Instead, he found her angry expression particularly adorable, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Luo Ruying was so angry that her chest rose and fell rapidly. She simply turned her head away, her face still red, and ignored Ning Yechen.
This hateful guy knew she was a cultivator, yet he dared to tease her like this…
If it were anyone else, she would have slapped them to death a long time ago!
While Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying were alone, Luo Hongye, who was hiding in the flower bushes, saw a brightly colored butterfly flutter past her eyes.
Luo Hongye had never seen a butterfly before, and her eyes lit up. She immediately chased after it with her little baby steps.
Unknowingly, she ran to the edge of the flower bushes, and the butterfly finally landed on a flower.
Luo Hongye curiously approached the butterfly, wanting to reach out and touch it. The butterfly was startled and flew into the trees.
"Ah, wait for me, Yeye..." Luo Hongye ran after it, but the butterfly had already disappeared into the trees.
The surroundings were empty and silent, with dense trees.
Luo Ruying felt a surge of fear, turning back to realize she was a bit away from her mother and father.
Just as she was about to rush back, a huge, dark figure loomed behind, casting a shadow over her small frame.
Luo Hongye turned around and saw a monstrous dragon emerge from the trees. It was massive, its scales like sharp blades, and its head was lowered menacingly!
The dragon's black, slit pupils fixed on Luo Hongye, filled with surprise and greed. Saliva dripped from its mouth.
"Look what I've found! A human…!"
"It's been so long since I've tasted a human!"
"Y-Yeye isn't tasty…"
Luo Hongye trembled with fear, backing away step by step. A stumble caused her to trip and fall.
"Wah!" Luo Hongye cried out in fright, bursting into loud sobs.
"Waaah… Mother… Father…!"
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying immediately noticed the cry.
Luo Ruying didn't see Luo Hongye and her expression turned panicked. She immediately flashed out, rushing towards the source of the sound!
"Hahaha, it's no use calling for your parents!"
"Just obediently let me eat you!"
"Don't worry, you won't feel any pain!"
The Black-Scaled Dragon opened its bloody maw, snapping at Luo Hongye.
Just as the situation became critical, Luo Ruying flashed forward, unleashing a sword that slashed across the entire face of the Black-Scaled Dragon!
"Get lost!"
"Beast! What do you think you're doing to my child!"
Luo Ruying stood with her sword in front of Luo Hongye, her pretty face icy and frosty as she glared at the Black-Scaled Dragon before her.
Its face was cut open, and blood was flowing down. The Black-Scaled Dragon was in extreme pain, glaring at Luo Ruying with fury.
"Damn humans!"
"How dare you wound my face!"
"Besides that person, no one has dared to do this to me!"
Saying this, the Black-Scaled Dragon extended countless steel blades from its body, and an astonishing spiritual pressure surged forth from within!
A Celestial God Realm Black-Scaled Dragon…!
That was a Yao King-level beast!
Luo Ruying's eyes showed a hint of surprise and caution.
The Black-Scaled Dragon was at the peak of cultivation strength in the human realm!
She hadn't expected it to appear here!
Could it be that it was attracted by the aura of the Immortal Herb Garden's immortal fruits?
She should have been prepared!
Luo Ruying was filled with self-reproach.
It was because of her carelessness that the child had almost been put in danger.
If it had been her previous cultivation level, she could have easily killed this Black-Scaled Dragon with a single sword strike.
But now, her cultivation was only at the Celestial Human Realm.
If she really fought the Black-Scaled Dragon, although she might not necessarily lose…
She was just worried that she couldn't take care of Luo Hongye's safety…!
What should she do? Should she just take the child and flee…?
Just as Luo Ruying was pondering how to deal with the situation, Ning Yechen's figure slowly walked over from behind.
Seeing Ning Yechen also rush over, Luo Ruying's expression showed a hint of panic.
This was bad!
If it were just with Luo Hongye, she had enough confidence to retreat safely.
If Ning Yechen were added, she might not be able to escape from the Black-Scaled Dragon!
Luo Ruying immediately fell into a dilemma...
