Chapter 191: Good Children Shouldn’t Ask~

With her hand held in Ning Yechen’s, Luo Ruying also recovered from her fear, her heart instantly feeling an incomparable sense of security.

The fear that had just swept through her entire body instantly vanished like smoke.

After seeing that Luo Ruying was alright, Ning Yechen turned to Tian Xing with a cold face and said calmly:

“Tian Xing, retract your aura!”

He scared his wife!

Only then did Tian Xing notice Luo Ruying beside Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye hiding behind her. He hurriedly retracted his aura and said, full of terror and self-reproach:

“Aiya! My sincerest apologies, Demon Lord!”

“I, Tian Xing, actually failed to notice the arrival of the noble Madam and the Little Princess. I deserve to die!”

“To appear before Madam and the Little Princess in such a filthy state is truly too discourteous!”

“Tian Xing is willing to receive punishment in the Execution Palace!”

“Punishment won’t be necessary.”

“I was also just passing by by chance and did not give prior notice, so you are not to blame.”

“But there will be no next time.”

Ning Yechen warned calmly.

“Thank you for your tolerance and benevolence, Demon Lord~”

“To repay you, I, Tian Xing, will definitely work even harder to serve you and the Demon Realm~!”

Tian Xing’s face revealed a fanatical excitement. He pulled at his own cheeks with both hands, his whole body trembling with excitement.

Ning Yechen hurriedly stopped him and quickly said perfunctorily:

“That’s enough, that’s enough…”

“I will look forward to your performance.”

If he let him continue pulling at his face, he was afraid he might rip off his entire stitched-up face…

He had already seen it once before and really didn’t want to see it a second time.

However, Tian Xing took Ning Yechen’s casual, perfunctory words to heart.

Hearing the phrase “will look forward to your performance,” Tian Xing was completely stunned on the spot, and his eyes immediately filled with tears.

“Demon Lord, rest assured, I, Tian Xing, will absolutely not fail to live up to your expectations!!”

Tian Xing’s heart was stirred with excitement at this moment.

This was the first time Demon Lord had ever said such a thing to him…!

Demon Lord had been paying attention to him all along!

What an honor!

How moving!

Tian Xing’s brain was trembling in climax; he was so happy he almost fainted on the spot.

To repay the Demon Lord’s expectations, he would have to personally and viciously ‘love and care for’ every single prisoner in the Execution Palace all over again today!

“Demon Lord, would you like to take a tour…”

“No!”

“I have other business.”

Just as Tian Xing was about to invite Ning Yechen into the Execution Palace to admire his masterpieces, he was cut off mid-sentence and refused by Ning Yechen without hesitation.

No matter what, he would not let his wife and child enter the Execution Palace.

After speaking, Ning Yechen took Luo Ruying’s hand, and with their child, turned to leave.

“Respectfully seeing you off, Demon Lord~”

Tian Xing had a regretful look on his face as he knelt on the ground, bowing slightly and watching them leave.

He had created several masterpieces he was quite proud of.

But it couldn’t be helped that Demon Lord was busy.

Before leaving, Ning Yechen suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head back to look at Tian Xing, and asked with a smile:

“By the way, were you satisfied with the ‘gift’ I had someone send over last night?”

Hearing Ning Yechen ask this, the corners of Tian Xing’s mouth split open, and a terrifying, creepy, yet brilliant smile appeared on his face.

“Hehehe~ Extremely satisfied, Demon Lord~”

“This is the best gift I, Tian Xing, have ever seen~!”

“Please rest assured, I will be sure to properly ‘cherish’ this gift you have sent, Demon Lord~”

“Hmph, that’s good then.”

Ning Yechen smiled with satisfaction and turned to lead Luo Ruying away.

Seeing how much Tian Xing likes it, Dao Xian Tianhua should have a very ‘happy’ time here…

Looking at the smiling face of Ning Yechen beside her, Luo Ruying couldn’t help but ask curiously:

“Husband, what gift did you give him?”

“Hmph hmph, good children shouldn’t ask~”

Ning Yechen let out a mysterious, light humph, and gently placed his finger on Luo Ruying’s cherry lips.

Luo Ruying lightly furrowed her beautiful brows, pouting her lips slightly with a look of dissatisfaction.

Being so secretive, and not telling her…

However, in her heart, she had already vaguely guessed that the scary palace from just now was not a hotel at all.

If her guess was correct, then that must be the legendary Execution Palace of the Demon Realm, feared by countless people…

No wonder he tried so hard to stop her from getting close…

Only then did Luo Ruying understand Ning Yechen’s good intentions when he stopped her.

It’s a good thing I didn’t cross the barrier and go inside…

After leaving the Execution Palace and walking a few steps, Luo Ruying noticed another entrance made from dragon bone.

The entrance was a massive dragon skull with its mouth wide open, and countless people with excited and impatient faces were crowding towards the entrance.

Although other places were also very lively and crowded, this place was even more bustling and clamorous than others, extremely popular.

Just looking from the outside, one couldn’t tell at all where this dragon bone entrance led.

“Husband, what place is that?”

Luo Ruying didn’t dare to casually approach to join the fun again. From a distance, she pointed at the thronging crowd and asked.

“Since you are curious, I will take you to join in the fun~”

When Ning Yechen saw the dragon bone entrance, a trace of nostalgia couldn’t help but appear on his face. After thinking for a moment, he proactively took Luo Ruying’s hand and also walked into the dragon skull.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here…

As for this place, it should be fine even if he let his wife and child take a look.

Following him into the dragon skull, they were met with a stepped tunnel that extended continuously downwards.

Before they had even walked out of the tunnel, they could already hear a clamor of shouts like a tsunami.

After walking out of the tunnel, what met their eyes was an underground arena large enough to accommodate several hundred thousand people.

The upper levels of the circular arena were packed with a crowd shouting madly, among them men and women, old and young.

The arena floor below was enveloped by a barrier. The grounds were covered with traces of battles, and dried bloodstains remained on the walls.

A man dressed in magnificent clothes was floating in mid-air in the arena, holding a Sound Amplification Stone, and shouting passionately to the crowd:

“Ever~y~one~~!!!”

“Welcome to the Yongye Cage Arena!”

“Next, what we will bring to everyone is a feast of blood and death~!”

“Are you! Ready!!!”

“ROAR ROAR ROAR!!!”

Under the passionate hype of the announcer, the atmosphere in the arena reached an unprecedented, fervent high.

This was the first time Luo Ruying had seen such a grand arena, and she was completely and deeply shaken by the highly-charged atmosphere of the Demon Realm’s people.

Ning Yechen picked up Luo Hongye, who was jumping up and down at his feet, also curious and wanting to see, and held her in his arms, covering her ears with his hands.

To prevent the clamor from hurting her ears.

“Husband, is this the Demon Realm’s arena?”

Luo Ruying asked Ning Yechen beside her.

Although she had heard that some places in the Heavenly Realm also had dedicated venues for contests and sparring, they were mostly for discussing the Dao and exchanging pointers. An arena like this was something she had never seen before.

Ning Yechen nodded lightly.

“Yes, my wife.”

“This is the largest arena in the Demon Realm, the Yongye Cage.”

Although the Demon Realm was unified under his hand, the nature of the demon clan had always been bloodthirsty and combative; one could even say they did not fear death.

This was an innate nature passed down since ancient times, not something that could be changed overnight.

In order to give the people of the Demon Realm a place to release their nature, Ning Yechen did not completely abolish the various arenas after unifying the Demon Realm, but instead slightly altered the rules.

He allowed the people of the Demon Realm to voluntarily sign up for the arena, making it no longer compulsory like before.

Who knew that this couldn’t stop the enthusiasm of the Demon Realm’s people at all, and countless people eagerly signed up.

In today’s Demon Realm, watching arena matches has already become a form of after-dinner entertainment for the masses…

The arena announcer, seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently hyped up, then made a grand introduction:

“The next contestant to enter the stage is extremely unexpected and rare~!”

“He is not one of our Demon Realm!”

“But rather, a friend from the Beast Clan who has come from afar~~!
