Chapter 180 – In the Demon Realm, This is a Very Common Occurrence

Late at night, Yongye Juncheng.

The grand ceremony to welcome the Demon Lord and the Madam of the Demon Realm had come to a perfect conclusion, but Yongye Juncheng was still immersed in the joy of the Demon Lord’s return and the sudden gain of a Madam and a Little Princess for the Demon Realm.

Brilliant fireworks continuously bloomed under the night sky, and magnificent red lights streaked across the firmament, flying past like meteors.

The city was brightly lit, and sounds of joy and laughter filled the streets and alleys.

This day, it would be no exaggeration to say, was the most celebration-worthy grand festival in the Demon Realm.

Inside the Demon God Palace, there was also a scene of song and dance celebrating peace, with music from pipes and strings continuing endlessly.

The banquet seats were completely full, cups were pushed and glasses were exchanged, it was incredibly lively.

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying were also seated together on the dais.

Luo Hongye stood between the two of them. Because she was too petite and short, even when she stood on her tiptoes, she could only reveal half of her little head above the table, her tender little hands unable to even reach the food on it…

“Mmm… Daddy…”

Luo Hongye tried to jump up and down, but she still couldn’t reach the food. She immediately pouted her little mouth aggrievedly and turned to look pitifully at Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen smiled dotingly, scooped Luo Hongye up, and sat her on his lap, picking up some food with his chopsticks and feeding it to her.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall couldn’t help but reveal expressions of gratification and wonder.

Demon Lord truly dotes on the Little Princess…

They had never seen Demon Lord be so gentle with them…

Ye Tianshen, holding a wine cup, came down from his seat at the banquet to below the dais. He knelt on one knee, and with a solemn and serious expression, he addressed Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying:

“Respectfully welcoming the return of Demon Lord and Madam to the Demon Realm!”

“If Madam has any instructions in the Demon Realm, please do not hesitate to issue your commands!”

“The Ye family of Yongye Juncheng is ready to be dispatched at any time!”

Among the thirteen seated Demon Gods, Ye Tianshen was the most serious and conscientious in his duties.

His words at this moment were equivalent to representing the Ye family in pledging allegiance to Luo Ruying.

No matter what, Luo Ruying was once an Empress of a domain in the Heavenly Realm. She had attended her fair share of banquets and similar gatherings, so she could understand Ye Tianshen’s meaning.

She immediately revealed a faint smile, raised her wine cup, and replied jokingly:

“Then I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

“Ye Ye really likes your craftsmanship. Perhaps in the future, I might need you to prepare some delicious food for the child.”

Hearing this, Ye Tianshen’s expression hardened. Without another word, he removed the demonic armor he was wearing and tied on the apron from his barbecue stall, promising with a serious face:

“As long as the Little Princess needs it, this subordinate is ready at any time!”

The crowd: “…”

Everyone in the hall stared at Ye Tianshen, their faces full of bewilderment.

Kuang Qiu and the others who had been to the mortal realm were fine, as they knew Ye Tianshen’s disguised duty in the mortal realm was to be in charge of barbecue…

Those who had remained behind in the Demon Realm didn’t know what to make of it.

Someone was even so startled that they directly spat out a mouthful of wine.

Lord Ye Tianshen, the first-ranked Demon God of the Demon Realm, was wearing an apron?

This was simply too incongruous!

Luo Ruying also hadn’t expected that her one joking remark would be taken so seriously by Ye Tianshen…

Luo Hongye, on the other hand, only recognized him after seeing him in his apron. She happily pointed at him with her tender little finger and called out in her milky voice:

“Ah~ The barbecue-selling uncle~!”

Ye Tianshen bowed slightly to Luo Hongye, his face full of pride.

“It is indeed this subordinate, Little Princess~”

The crowd: “…”

The crowd was once again speechless.

Although they didn’t know what tricks Ye Tianshen was up to, seeing that he seemed to be very much liked by the Little Princess, the crowd couldn’t help but be so envious they almost shattered their molars.

It was just a pity they hadn’t been chosen by Lord Left Guardian to go to the mortal realm back then…

After Ye Tianshen stepped down, another man with a head of dazzling blond hair and a dashing, unrestrained face stood up and walked to the center of the great hall.

“Our first meeting, noble and beautiful Madam~”

“And also, the cute and charming Little Princess~”

“I am the second-ranked Demon God of the Demon Realm, known as Xujian Jun~”

Xujian Jun flicked the hair from his forehead and gave an elegant bow to Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye.

He inserted his palm into the void. The next moment, the void before Luo Ruying quietly cracked open out of thin air, and a gorgeous fresh flower extended out…

Luo Ruying was greatly surprised.

Xujian Jun was clearly still standing below the dais, yet his palm had reached in front of her through two connected voids…!

To be able to so precisely connect two different voids, this was the first time she had ever seen it!

“Thank you…”

Seeing Xujian Jun’s good intentions, Luo Ruying prepared to reach out and accept the flower.

But unexpectedly, Ning Yechen was a step faster. He snatched the flower, crushed it, and stared coldly at Xujian Jun.

“Xujian Jun, this Lord accepts your good intentions on behalf of my wife!”

Luo Ruying looked doubtfully at the displeased Ning Yechen beside her, then the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards, revealing a charmed, faint smile.

Does he not want her to accept another’s flower…

Honestly, a dignified Demon Lord of his generation, how can he be so petty.

Facing Ning Yechen’s cold stare, an excited and ferocious smile appeared on Xujian Jun’s face.

Only a Demon Lord like this was worthy of his excitement and agitation! Xujian Jun’s expression changed from its earlier dashing gentleness to one of fanatical excitement, and he directly extended his hand to Ning Yechen, pleading:

“Demon Lord, it’s been a long time~!”

“I’ve missed you so much!!”

“Might I implore you to have a hearty and thorough battle with me!!”

This was his true objective!

Giving the flower to Luo Ruying, besides expressing allegiance, was also to provoke Ning Yechen!

“Here we go again…”

“That fellow Xujian Jun is trying to challenge Demon Lord again, not knowing life from death…”

“How many times has it been?”

“I don’t know, I’ve already lost count…”

Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help but shake their heads and continue drinking.

They had long since gotten used to this kind of thing.

Ever since Xujian Jun was defeated by Ning Yechen and willingly submitted to his command, he had become his fanatical pursuer.

Of course, this ’pursuit’ was not that kind of pursuit.

Rather, it was about chasing Ning Yechen’s footsteps, tempering himself and growing stronger through constant challenges.

When he had nothing to do, he loved to issue challenges to Ning Yechen.

To this day, it’s unknown how many times he has challenged him, but without exception, he has always lost miserably…

Sometimes, Ning Yechen couldn’t help but suspect.

Did this fellow Xujian Jun have a masochistic hobby, just like Hun Mei…

He clearly couldn’t win, yet he insisted on courting death.

Ye Tianshen frowned, stood up, and scolded Xujian Jun:

“Xujian Jun! Today is the day of Demon Lord and Madam’s return to the Demon Realm, do not be impolite!”

“If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you!”

Facing Ye Tianshen’s angry rebuke, Xujian Jun completely ignored him, his eyes only on Ning Yechen.

Yue Qingyou took a step forward, preparing to speak, but was stopped by Ning Yechen with a raised hand.

“It’s rare for Xujian Jun to be in such high spirits, so I will play with you~”

Hearing Ning Yechen agree, Xujian Jun’s expression became even more ferocious and ecstatic. His arm, like a blade, lightly slashed beside him, cutting open a void rift.

“Demon Lord, come~!”

Xujian Jun was the first to step into the void rift and disappear.

“My wife, please wait a moment.”

“I’m going to go stretch my muscles and bones, I’ll be back soon~!”

After leaving these words with Luo Ruying beside him, Ning Yechen also slowly stood up, tore open a void rift with one hand, and stepped inside.

If you don’t beat them for three days, they’ll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles!

If you want to rule the Demon Realm, you have to give them a good beating from time to time!

This was the experience Ning Yechen had summarized since he began ruling the Demon Realm.

Luo Ruying watched Ning Yechen leave with a bewildered look on her face.

Yue Qingyou, on the other hand, explained from the side:

“Madam, don’t worry.”

“In the Demon Realm, this is a very common occurrence.”

“I-Is that so…”

“Then I can rest assured…”

Luo Ruying said with an embarrassed smile.

She didn’t know why she should rest assured either…

Perhaps it was a case of ’when in Rome, do as the Romans do’…
