Chapter 271 - Actually, Your Brother-in-law, I, Am the Demon Lord~

"Demon Lord, please forgive my Qin Immortal Residence for not recognizing your great presence. We have offended you greatly, and I hope you can be magnanimous…"

After punishing Qin Sheng, Qin Hao pulled him along and respectfully pleaded for forgiveness.

"P-Please, Demon Lord, forgive us…"

Qin Sheng knelt on the ground, trembling, without even the courage to look up at Ning Yechen, completely devoid of his earlier momentum…

Luo Ruxin at the side covered her mouth in surprise.

It seems Qin Hao and Qin Sheng really believed her brother-in-law was the Demon Lord…

Brother-in-law's aura is too strong…!

Even when standing before an Immortal Emperor, to be able to remain so calm and unhurried and continue to impersonate the Demon Lord…

Ning Yechen slowly walked before Qin Sheng, placed a foot on his head, pressing his head against the ground, and looked down on him, saying calmly:

"What, didn't you just say that even if this Lord stood before you, you would absolutely not change your feelings for Ruxin?"

"For Ruxin's sake, even if it means death, you should be willing, right?"

Ning Yechen applied a little force with his foot, and Qin Sheng’s head was already slightly embedded in the hard ground...!

"De-Demon Lord, I, I was just joking with Xin'er, no… with Miss Luo…"

Qin Sheng felt as if his head was about to be crushed. His whole body trembled as he replied with a shaky voice.

From beginning to end, he had never thought of dying for a woman.

The words he had spoken were merely sweet nothings to make a woman happy.

He never thought that Ning Yechen would actually be the Demon Lord…

Luo Ruxin, seeing Ning Yechen actually put his foot on Qin Sheng’s head, was instantly terrified, her little heart nearly jumping out of her chest from fright.

Qin Sheng is the Young Master of the Qin Immortal Residence, a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor realm!

Why did Brother-in-law suddenly put his foot on the guy's head…!

This step wasn't in the script we agreed on earlier!

Aren't you getting a little too into character, Brother-in-law…!

If they find out he's just pretending, what will we do…

Aren't we dead for sure…!

"Demon Lord, my unworthy son and the Qin Immortal Residence had absolutely no intention of offending you…"

"The matter of the marriage contract is hereby nullified…"

"In the coming days, my Qin Immortal Residence will personally visit the Luo Shen Palace to offer gifts and apologize!"

"What do you think…?"

Qin Hao begged for mercy, cupping his hands towards Ning Yechen, his heart tense to the extreme.

Ning Yechen just gave Qin Hao an indifferent glance, then turned his head to look at Luo Ruxin and asked calmly:

"Ruxin, you decide."

"Do you want to make the Qin Immortal Residence disappear from the Heavenly Realm?"

Hearing the words 'make the Qin Immortal Residence disappear,' the hearts of both Qin Hao and Qin Sheng skipped a beat, and they looked up at Luo Ruxin with nervousness and terror.

"Miss Luo, no! Lady Luo! We have offended you greatly before, please forgive us!"

At this moment, the very survival of the entire Qin Immortal Residence rested on her single word!

They were just short of crawling to her feet and begging her to let them off.

Luo Ruxin was completely startled.

This script had gone completely beyond her expectations.

She had only wanted to scare the father and son of the Qin family and cancel the engagement. She hadn't expected it to go this far…

For Brother-in-law to even say he would wipe out the entire Qin Immortal Residence, that was a bit too scary…

But it was indeed very much like something the Demon Lord would say…

"Brother-in-law, th-that's enough…"

"Since the marriage contract is canceled, this is fine..."

Luo Ruxin still thought Ning Yechen was just scaring Qin Hao and Qin Sheng and said this to cooperate.

After speaking, Luo Ruxin made faces at Ning Yechen with her eyes, secretly signaling that this was enough.

If he goes too far, we'll be finished if we're exposed in the future…

"Since it is so, this Lord will spare you."

"Tomorrow, this Lord wants to see the sincerity of the Qin Immortal Residence. Otherwise, the Qin Immortal Residence might as well disappear from the Heavenly Realm."

"Do you understand?"

Ning Yechen removed his foot from Qin Sheng’s head and said calmly.

"We understand…!"

"Thank you, Demon Lord, for your forgiveness…!"

Qin Hao and Qin Sheng kowtowed and replied, with lingering fear in their hearts.

It felt as if they had just escaped from the gates of hell…

"Ruxin, let's go."

Ning Yechen no longer paid any attention to Qin Hao and Qin Sheng, turning around with his hands behind his back to slowly leave.

Luo Ruxin, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly caught up with Ning Yechen, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at him.

Hit and run, the timing was perfect!

Brother-in-law is simply too cool!

And he even took the opportunity to extort the Qin Immortal Residence!

After Ning Yechen and Luo Ruxin left, Qin Hao and Qin Sheng sat collapsed on the ground and reached up to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

"Father, was he… really the Demon Lord…?"

Qin Sheng asked, lifting his slightly caved-in forehead and looking at Qin Hao beside him with a trembling heart.

"That's right, he is that Demon Lord…"

"In the future, you are absolutely forbidden from provoking anyone from the Luo Shen Palace again, do you hear me!"

Qin Hao instructed Qin Sheng with a stern shout, looking at Ning Yechen’s departing back.

Their escape from death this time was a stroke of luck due to the Demon Lord's great mercy.

Next time, they might not be so lucky…

"Yes…" Qin Sheng replied listlessly.

He would never dare to casually provoke a woman again…

Who knows who her brother-in-law might be.

The father and son, Qin Hao and Qin Sheng, leaned against each other, drained of all strength.

"Quickly go and take out all the best things from the treasury. The next day, you will personally deliver them to the Luo Shen Palace with me…"

Qin Hao instructed Qin Sheng.

"Father, all of it…?"

"Aren't we leaving even a little…?" Qin Sheng said, looking back at Qin Hao, somewhat reluctant.

The things stored in the treasury were the treasures and savings the Qin Immortal Residence had accumulated over several thousand years!

"Let me ask you, do you want your life, or do you want those treasures?" Qin Hao asked, giving Qin Sheng a speechless eye-roll.

What time is it now, and you're still thinking of secretly keeping things!

To be able to escape this calamity by offering gifts and apologizing was already a rare fortune!

This was absolutely not the time to be stingy with a few treasures and immortal medicines.

"My life…"

Qin Sheng thought for a moment and decided that saving his life was more important.

If his life was gone, what was the use of having more treasures…

……

"Hahaha~!"

"Brother-in-law, you're too amazing!"

"That fellow Qin Sheng’s face was slapped until it was like a pig's head~!"

"The Demon Lord you pretended to be was just like the real thing! You scared them silly!"

"Even I almost thought it was real~!"

Above the speeding sky, Luo Ruxin was overjoyed. She stood up on the celestial crane and began to imitate Ning Yechen’s demeanor and tone from the Qin Immortal Residence.

"'Since it is so, this Lord will spare you~~ Hahaha~'"

"Brother-in-law, do I act like the Demon Lord?"

Ning Yechen revealed a faint smile and quietly watched Luo Ruxin perform.

He had already gone this far, and this girl still hadn't noticed his identity…

"Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, can you tell me how you did it~?"

"Actually, I was almost scared to death just now."

"Qin Hao and Qin Sheng, they are two Immortal Emperors! They're very powerful!"

"How were you not the least bit afraid?"

Luo Ruxin lay down on the celestial crane and drew close to Ning Yechen to ask for his guidance.

If only she could also have her brother-in-law's temperament and calm courage.

Looking at Luo Ruxin’s adoring and curious face, Ning Yechen smiled faintly and said calmly:

"Actually, your brother-in-law, I, am the Demon Lord~"

Luo Ruxin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but let out peals of silvery laughter.

"Hahaha~ Brother-in-law, stop joking~"

"You almost scared me to death~"

Ning Yechen smiled without speaking, quietly watching Luo Ruxin.

Luo Ruxin’s laughter came to an abrupt halt. She silently turned her back to Ning Yechen, covering her mouth with her hand, her pupils trembling in shock…

Recalling all the previous signs—her father's and Luo Tianshan and the elders' attitude towards Ning Yechen—she suddenly felt a chill spread through her body…

It can't be…!

Could it be that her brother-in-law really is the Demon Lord…?!
