Chapter 257 - She Will Definitely Be Very Happy To~

Luo Ruying watched Luo Yingxin with a nervous expression.

Although she knew very well that her mother was a discerning and reasonable person, Ning Yechen’s identity as the Demon Lord was, after all, very special.

She was worried about whether Luo Yingxin could truly accept Ning Yechen’s identity.

Besides, her health was poor at the moment, so she was also worried if learning of Ning Yechen’s identity as the Demon Lord would anger her to the point of harm…

"Mother-in-law, besides accompanying Ruying back today, I am also here to speak frankly with you and Father-in-law."

"I hope that the two of you can entrust Ruying to me with peace of mind!"

Ning Yechen said with a solemn expression, cupping his hands and bowing sincerely.

Yue Qingyou, at the side, was surprised, her beautiful eyes widening slightly, and then she silently raised the corners of her mouth in a gratified smile.

The Demon Lord really does love the Madam a great deal…

Ever since she had known Ning Yechen, he had faced countless powerful enemies in the Demon Realm, Demon Lords of previous generations, and experienced innumerable life-and-death struggles, yet no one had ever been able to make him bow his back once or treat them so politely!

Not even that bunch of high and mighty gods from the Divine Realm were worthy!

Seeing Ning Yechen being so sincere for her sake, Luo Ruying was deeply moved. She also stood up, came to Ning Yechen’s side, and took his arm.

"Mother, your daughter has already given herself to him, body and soul. I hope you can give us your blessing…!"

Looking at Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen standing together before her, Luo Yingxin covered her mouth in surprise, then couldn't help but smile with gratification and began to speak leisurely:

"You two…"

"When did Mother ever say I wouldn't approve of you?"

"Since Yechen is the husband you have chosen, and he has called me Mother-in-law, then from now on, he is the son-in-law of my Luo Shen Palace~"

When Ning Yechen entered the room and called her Mother-in-law, she had already acknowledged his identity as her son-in-law.

And now, to see him bow for Luo Ruying’s sake to express his sincere feelings—for a Demon Lord of his generation to do this for her daughter was enough to explain everything.

Even putting aside Ning Yechen’s identity as the Demon Lord, even if he were just an ordinary demon clan cultivator, or even a mortal, she would not have minded.

As long as it was someone Luo Ruying loved, and seeing that she was happy, she didn't care.

"Thank you, Mother~"

Hearing Luo Yingxin’s reply, Luo Ruying happily threw herself into her embrace.

Both her dad and Mother had accepted Ning Yechen. The worry in her heart was finally set aside.

Luo Yingxin gently stroked Luo Ruying’s beautiful silver hair, then turned her head to look at Ning Yechen and asked with a gentle expression:

"Yechen, I will only ask you one question."

"Will you fail my daughter?"

"In this life, I will not fail her!"

Ning Yechen replied in a solemn voice without the slightest hesitation, his eyes fixed on Luo Yingxin.

Luo Ruying, listening to these words, her lovely face buried in Luo Yingxin’s embrace, was pink with shyness. Her heart felt as if a silk string had been lightly plucked, a wave of joyful palpitation…

"Good~ good~ good~"

Receiving a satisfactory reply, Luo Yingxin revealed a smile and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

She beckoned Ning Yechen to her side and took his hand, placing it over Luo Ruying’s.

"Your words are enough~'"

Cough cough cough.

Perhaps because she was too happy and had spoken more than usual today, Luo Yingxin, whose body was already unwell, couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough several times.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Luo Ruying hurriedly drew near and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine~"

"Mother is just too happy, that's all~"

Luo Yingxin’s pale cheeks still showed a joyous smile as she signaled for Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen not to worry.

"Mother-in-law, your health does not seem to be good. Would you allow me to take a look?"

Ning Yechen said, frowning slightly.

"Mother-in-law, you say…"

"If it's alright, I would be even happier to hear you call me Mother~"

Luo Yingxin said with a light laugh.

Ning Yechen was stunned for a moment, then also revealed a smile and called out:

"Mother…"

He hadn't expected that at a time like this, Luo Yingxin would not only be completely unconcerned about her own health, but would instead be concerned about hearing him change his form of address…

After hearing Ning Yechen call her 'Mother,' Luo Yingxin’s face appeared even more joyful, and she presented her arm before Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen took Luo Yingxin’s pulse, sent his divine sense into it, and began to carefully examine her body.

Luo Ruying watched nervously from the side.

After a moment, Ning Yechen slowly released her hand, his brow lightly furrowed from beginning to end.

Generally, anything that could make him furrow his brow was absolutely no simple matter.

"Husband, how is it…?" Luo Ruying asked urgently and worriedly.

"Her meridians are all withered, her spiritual acupoints are depleted, her sea of spirit is exhausted, and her immortal body has been overdrawn excessively, causing her body to be unable to gather spiritual energy…"

Ning Yechen slowly stated Luo Yingxin’s symptoms.

Perhaps because she had been in this state for too long, the situation was a little more serious than he had imagined.

In Luo Yingxin’s current state, even getting out of bed would be difficult…

Luo Yingxin had long been aware of her body's current condition. Her expression showed not the slightest surprise or ripple, and she remained gentle and calm.

Luo Tianya had long ago found many immortal doctors for her who were skilled in medicine and alchemy.

What every one of them had said was basically the same as what Ning Yechen had said.

Back then, when she had forcefully given birth to Luo Ruying and Luo Ruxin, she had almost completely drained her body's spiritual energy, damaging her foundation and nearly dying in childbirth, which had led to her body's current abnormal weakness.

But she did not regret it. Even if she had to do it all over again, she would still choose to forcefully give birth to Luo Ruying and Luo Ruxin!

"Husband, is there a way for Mother to recover?"

Luo Ruying asked, looking at Ning Yechen with a face full of worry and anticipation.

If even Ning Yechen had no solution, then she really wouldn't know what to do…

"Don't worry, my wife.”

"As long as I nourish her entire body with spiritual energy every day, I can at least allow Mother's body to recover a little and no longer worsen."

"As for a way to let Mother recover completely, I will think of something."

Ning Yechen said comfortingly, gently holding Luo Ruying’s hand.

This was also the first time he had seen a special case like Luo Yingxin’s.

With Ning Yechen’s reassurance, Luo Ruying felt much more at ease.

Luo Yingxin, however, slowly shook her head and said with a bleak expression:

"I use the spiritual energy of immortal herbs and spiritual medicines to moisten and protect my body every day, but it's just a drop in the bucket and doesn't have much effect…"

"For the sake of this body of mine, the Luo Shen Palace's savings have been nearly exhausted…"

"Yechen, I appreciate your kind intentions, but there's no need for you to go to the trouble and waste any more…"

Ever since her body began to grow progressively weaker, Luo Tianya had already searched for all sorts of methods for her, spending an expensive price to have people refine many medicinal pills, but he had never seen any improvement.

At best, she had only briefly recovered a little bit of strength.

She no longer wanted anyone else to waste their efforts on her in vain.

"Mother, you don't need to worry. For me, it's not the least bit troublesome."

"The immortal medicines and spiritual pills you've been taking have no effect because the spiritual energy they contain is impure."

"If you were to take a pure source of spiritual energy, you could achieve the effect of warming and nurturing your entire body."

Ning Yechen said confidently with a faint smile.

"A pure source of spiritual energy…"

"The spiritual fluid of the Celestial Spirit Ancient Tree…?!"

Luo Yingxin's expression was pensive. She quickly thought of something and exclaimed.

The purest source in the Heavenly Realm was none other than the spiritual fluid of the Celestial Spirit Ancient Tree, which was condensed from celestial spiritual energy!

Ning Yechen smiled and nodded.

"But the spiritual fluid of the Celestial Spirit Ancient Tree can only be encountered by chance, not sought after."

"Even if one finds the Celestial Spirit Ancient Tree, if there is no fate, one still cannot ask for the tree's spiritual fluid…"

Luo Yingxin shook her head again, explaining to Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen, however, just gave a faint, roguishly charming smile.

"Don't worry, Mother. I just so happen to have quite a fateful connection with the Celestial Spirit Ancient Tree, and I know her."

"She will definitely be very happy to~”
