At the dining table, Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen took their seats together, the family gathered around the table for a long-awaited meal.
Yue Qingyou had prepared an entire table of lavish dishes and even brought forth a pot of rich, fragrant Immortal Chicken Soup, placing it before Luo Ruying.
"Madam, this is a broth made from the Kunpeng Immortal Chicken, highly beneficial for your health~"
"Please drink plenty~"
"Th-thank you..."
"I've troubled you..."
Luo Ruying gazed at the large pot before her, brimming with various nourishing immortal herbs and the Kunpeng Immortal Chicken broth, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Yue Qingyou had spent hours meticulously preparing it just for her, and Luo Ruying couldn't bring herself to refuse. She could only lower her head in gratitude.
"Come, my dear~"
Ning Yechen, seated beside Luo Ruying, proactively scooped a spoonful of the chicken soup and brought it to her lips.
Luo Ruying felt a little embarrassed in front of everyone, but she couldn't resist Ning Yechen's persistent, smiling gaze as he held the spoon, clearly determined to feed her himself.
*As if I were a child...*
After a moment's hesitation, Luo Ruying reluctantly tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear and parted her cherry lips to sip the soup.
"Mmm, Yeye wants some too~"
Luo Hongye, sitting in Luo Ruying's lap, stretched her little neck and opened her mouth wide.
Ning Yechen, dotingly, scooped another spoonful of Immortal Chicken Soup. After blowing on it to cool it, he fed it to Luo Hongye.
"Yeye, is it good?"
"Mmm~! It's delicious~"
Luo Hongye closed her eyes and smiled innocently.
A little soup trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Luo Ruying took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her daughter's lips.
Yue Qingyou sat to the side, not eating anything, simply holding a cup of tea and quietly watching the scene with a faint smile on her face.
Meng Niu and the other two were buried in their food, eating with focused intensity.
Now that there was no need to maintain their disguises, the food on Yue Qingyou's table was made from extraordinary ingredients.
It was all crafted from heavenly immortal medicines and the flesh of divine birds and mythical beasts!
Demons naturally absorbed more spiritual energy from immortal medicines and the flesh of immortal beasts, which nourished their bodies.
These delicacies were perfectly suited for them!
Since Meng Niu and the other two had performed well recently, Yue Qingyou had indulged them for the past few days.
She even added a daily portion of immortal beast meat to their diet...
Caring for the little princess and her wife while also raising three extra pets wasn't a burden...
"Qingyou, has anything happened these past few days?"
After feeding Luo Hongye a few mouthfuls, Ning Yechen turned to Yue Qingyou and asked, "Have there been any developments these past few days?"
Yue Qingyou set down her teacup and respectfully reported, "My Lord Demon Lord, Dean Xia of South Li Academy visited several times these past few days, seeking a conversation with you. Miss Qi and Miss Su also came to pay their respects."
"Additionally, many residents of South Departure City have sent a steady stream of gifts, all offered to you. I've refused them all, as they were quite unremarkable."
Ning Yechen fell silent, his expression thoughtful.
He could roughly guess why Dean Xia had sought him out...
But he was rather surprised that Su Yi and Qi Yuan would still dare to visit after learning of his identity as the Demon Lord.
"Qingyou, you handle the visit to Dean Xia," Ning Yechen instructed. "Reassure him that this Lord has no intention of attacking South Departure City."
"As for Miss Su and Miss Qi, send word for them to come tomorrow. I want to see them one last time before leaving South Departure City."
Yue Qingyou nodded slightly in acknowledgment and immediately sent telepathic messages to the Qi and Su families. Luo Ruying, who had been listening to their conversation, turned to Ning Yechen and asked,
"Husband, are we leaving...?"
She knew that now that Ning Yechen's identity as the Demon Lord had been exposed, they could no longer live their ordinary lives as before.
She hadn't expected to leave so soon, and a faint reluctance tugged at her heart.
Luo Hongye tilted her small head, her delicate face filled with the same wistful expression.
"Daddy, are we moving again?"
"Yeye just made new friends..."
"Yeye, we're not moving. We're going home~"
"Daddy will take Yeye and Mommy back to the home where Daddy used to live."
"If Yeye ever misses this place, Daddy will bring you back to visit your friends anytime."
Ning Yechen gently stroked Luo Hongye's smooth, round head to comfort her.
Seeing how their daughter had made new friends and become more lively and cheerful than before, he felt deeply gratified and happy.
The purpose of joining the South Li Academy's kindergarten had been fulfilled.
"Daddy's old home..."
"Is it the wooden house where Yeye, Mommy, and Daddy used to live together?" Luo Hongye asked curiously.
I thought we were going back to the little wooden cabin in the forest.
Ning Yechen smiled and shook his head, putting on a mysterious air. "Not quite, Yeye."
"We're going somewhere farther away~"
"Would you like to see the place where Daddy was born and grew up?"
"Yes~!"
"Yeye wants to see!"
Luo Hongye's curiosity was instantly piqued, and she said in a sweet, eager voice.
Luo Ruying immediately understood what Ning Yechen meant. "Husband, are you taking us to the Demon Realm...?"
"Yes!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to see my family's home?" Ning Yechen nodded and smiled faintly at Luo Ruying.
Luo Ruying froze, then remembered she had indeed mentioned wanting to visit her husband's family once...
But at the time, she hadn't known about Ning Yechen's demon identity, let alone that his family resided in the Demon Realm.
As for the Demon Realm, she had only heard rumors—never been there herself...
They said it was a place where demons danced wildly, chaos reigned supreme, and slaughter and death filled the air at every moment—a place comparable to hell itself...
She'd even heard more than once that demons never spit out bones when they eat humans...
Luo Ruying couldn't help but steal a glance at Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou.
*Hmm...*
*They don't look like demons at all...*
She'd met the Night Sky Gods too. Though their personalities were a bit eccentric, they didn't seem like bad people...
*Perhaps the Demon Realm isn't as terrifying as I imagined...?*
Suddenly, Luo Ruying felt a flicker of curiosity about the Demon Realm. Gazing at Ning Yechen's handsome profile and gentle smile beside her, her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.
*Maybe demons aren't as monstrous as the rumors say...*
"Wife, what's wrong?" Ning Yechen noticed her flushed cheeks and asked with concern.
*Why is she suddenly shy again...?*
"N-nothing!"
"If we're going to the Demon Realm, I'll go prepare then..."
Luo Ruying picked up Luo Hongye and walked back into the house, her face showing a hint of anticipation.
Ning Yechen rested his cheek on his hand, quietly watching Luo Ruying carry the child back to their room.
He'd been worried she might resist going to the Demon Realm, unwilling to return with him.
*It seems I needn't worry anymore...*
