"Qingyou, you... you've already announced our return to the Demon Realm to everyone?" Ning Yechen asked, his expression suddenly startled.
He hadn't originally planned to tell many people about Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye, wanting to avoid making a fuss and keep things quiet. But it seemed Yue Qingyou had already informed the entire Demon Realm about Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye...
Yue Qingyou nodded with a faint smile.
"Demon Lord, your and Madam's return with the little princess is naturally the most celebrated and joyous news in the Demon Realm. A few days ago, I ordered the Night Sky God and others to return to the Demon Realm first to prepare for your grand welcome."
After more than a century, the Demon Lord's return to the Demon Realm was an event of immense significance. Moreover, this time he had brought back the Madam of the Demon Realm and the little princess of the Demon Realm. How could such wonderful news be kept from the entire Demon Realm?
She had already arranged a magnificent welcome ceremony to greet the Demon Lord, Madam, and the little princess upon their return to the Demon Realm.
As they spoke, the Void Realm Soaring Dragon arrived before a city.
From afar, the Eternal Night Monarch City stretched without boundaries, its buildings rising in a dense, interwoven tapestry. Palaces and towers in the distinctive style of the Demon Realm soared skyward, their luminous lights filling the entire city, as if reflecting its prosperity and grandeur.
This was the Royal Capital of the Demon Realm, the Eternal Night Monarch City.
Luo Ruying stared in astonishment.
The Southern Departure City, which could accommodate a million people, was already considered vast. Yet the Eternal Night Monarch City was tens of times larger!
Its magnificence and splendor rivaled the imperial palaces of the Immortal Realm!
"Welcome back to the Eternal Night Monarch City, Demon Lord and Madam," Yue Qingyou said with a faint smile, stepping forward and to the side of Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying. She placed her hand over her chest and bowed in a welcoming posture.
Ning Yechen knew Yue Qingyou must have arranged a welcoming ceremony. With a resigned sigh, he stood and extended his hand to Luo Ruying beside him.
Confused, Luo Ruying placed her hand in his.
Ning Yechen clasped her hand, pulled her and Luo Hongye close, and stepped off the edge of the void, plummeting vertically through the air.
The three of them landed directly before the city's towering, majestic gate.
Yue Qingyou slowly descended from the forehead of the Void Realm Soaring Dragon, hovering in the sky above. She softly announced, "Welcome back, Demon Lord and Madam!"
"Caw caw caw..."
As her words faded, the massive city gates creaked open. Rows of fully armed, armored Eternal Night Monarch City guards marched forward in perfect formation, their heavy boots striking the ground in unison.
The rhythmic marching and the clatter of their armor created a thunderous, awe-inspiring spectacle. Each guard, clad in pitch-black armor, wore a solemn expression, radiating an aura of deadly intent.
Leading the procession was Night Sky God, the Demon Realm's foremost Demon God. His First Legion was primarily responsible for guarding Eternal Night Monarch City, and he commanded the city's hundreds of thousands of guards.
Gone was the apron-clad barbecue vendor he'd been in Southern Departure City. Now, he wore magnificent, ornate armor and a flowing cape that trailed behind him, his face stern and imposing.
Night Sky God led a luxurious carriage to the front of Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying. The carriage was drawn by eight Star-Chasing Demon Steeds—ethereal, translucent creatures of dazzling brilliance.
Each steed possessed the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable and was renowned for its speed and splendor. When they ran, they blazed across the sky like shooting stars, so fast that even an Immortal Emperor might struggle to catch up.
"Greetings, Demon Lord, Madam!"
Night Sky God placed a hand over his heart, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head in respectful greeting.
All the guards behind them split into two ranks on either side, also kneeling and bowing their heads in unison. Their voices thundered in unison:
"Greetings, Demon Lord, Madam!!!"
Luo Ruying: "..."
Luo Ruying stood there, utterly bewildered and at a loss.
*I just came along to the Demon Realm... do I really need such a grand welcome?*
Unbeknownst to Luo Ruying, this was merely the beginning. Ning Yechen, as if he had anticipated this all along, remained calm.
When he learned that Yue Qingyou had arranged such a welcome, he knew this was inevitable.
Since the arrangements were already made, there was no avoiding it.
*Well, it's not bad to let my wife and children experience the atmosphere of the Demon Realm.*
Ning Yechen took the reins from Night Sky God's hands and led Luo Ruying step by step onto the carriage.
The two stood before the carriage.
As Ning Yechen gently flicked the reins in his hand, the eight Star-Chasing Demon Steeds slowly began their stroll into the city.
Night Sky God walked beside the carriage like a personal bodyguard.
The moment they crossed the city gates, all the guards lining the main thoroughfare gripped their weapons in one hand and placed the other over their hearts as they knelt and bowed their heads.
The wide central avenue had been cleared, leaving only the carriage drawn by the Star-Chasing Demon Steeds to proceed slowly. The avenue stretched endlessly, its end vanishing into the distance.
Only one structure stood visible in the far distance: an exquisitely noble and luxurious Demon Palace. From afar, the jade steps leading directly to the Demon Sovereign's main hall could be seen stretching into the distance.
On both sides of the avenue, countless Demon Realm citizens had gathered, waiting. Nearly all of the tens of millions of people in Eternal Night Monarch City had crowded along the main thoroughfare, their heads forming a surging sea of humanity. Even the sky above was filled with people, leaving no gaps.
The moment Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying appeared, everyone craned their necks and erupted in earth-shattering cheers. The thunderous cheers echoed throughout Eternal Night Monarch City as countless flowers were tossed toward Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying.
Under the night sky, brilliant fireworks bloomed in an endless cascade. The city was filled with an atmosphere of festivity and joy.
Though the Demon Realm had no New Year traditions, this day had become a New Year for all its people. Red lanterns hung from every household, gongs and drums sounded ceaselessly, and the finest decorations and warmest enthusiasm adorned Eternal Night Monarch City.
The reason was simple: their most revered Demon Sovereign had returned!
Not only that, but he had returned with the Madam of the Demon Realm and even the little princess of the Demon Realm!
How could they not be ecstatic?
Many, upon seeing Luo Ruying beside Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye in his arms, couldn't help but weep with joy, tears streaming down their faces.
"The Demon Lord has returned!"
"The Demon Lord is finally married! This is wonderful!" (sobbing)
"Now we can finally rest easy!" (wiping tears)
"Our Demon Realm has an heir!" (moved)
"The Madam is also beautiful!"
"The little princess is so adorable!!"
"As expected of the Demon Lord's daughter!"
While the crowd was immersed in joy and emotion, someone raised a question:
"But didn't the Left Protector always say the Demon Lord was in seclusion for cultivation...?"
"How come after emerging from seclusion this time, he suddenly brought back a Madam and a little princess...?"
"The little princess looks about two or three years old..."
"..."
"Don't ask! The important thing is that the Demon Lord has brought back a Madam and a princess!"
Upon reflection, everyone agreed. To witness the Demon Lord marry and have a child was already more than they could have wished for!
The crowd continued to wave and cheer enthusiastically, following the crowd:
"Welcome back, Demon Lord and Madam!"
