Chapter 272 - Big Sister and Mother and Father are Too Unfair!

On the celestial crane, ever since Ning Yechen had confessed his identity, Luo Ruxin sat there feeling as if she were on pins and needles, her body tense.

Completely gone was her former lively and mischievous self. She sat quietly and obediently on the celestial crane, not daring to say another word…

The atmosphere, for a time, was somewhat awkward and stagnant.

Luo Ruxin stealthily used her peripheral vision to glance at Ning Yechen behind her. Seeing him watching her with a smile, she was so scared she quickly turned her head away again.

I'm finished, I'm finished…

Brother-in-law (the Demon Lord) has been staring at me…

Recalling her previous disrespectful and seniority-ignoring behavior towards Ning Yechen, as well as slapping him on the back not long ago, Luo Ruxin wanted to cry but had no tears, filled with regret.

Does that count as hitting the Demon Lord…

Is she dead for sure…

And Big Sister and Father, really…

They clearly knew Brother-in-law’s identity all along, yet not a single one of them told me.

"Ruxin."

Just as Luo Ruxin’s mind was filled with worry that she might not make it back to the Luo Shen Palace and would be dumped somewhere along the way, Ning Yechen’s voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"Pr-Present…!"

Luo Ruxin was so scared she straightened her back and replied, turning her head with a tremble.

Looking at Luo Ruxin, who was so scared she was trembling, Ning Yechen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Should I have given her some time to buffer the news…?

Telling her so directly like this, did I scare this girl too much…

"Ruxin, we've arrived."

Ning Yechen said helplessly, pointing to the Luo Shen Palace below them.

Only then did Luo Ruxin realize they had already returned to the skies above the Luo Shen Palace. She hurriedly guided the celestial crane to land within the palace.

Luo Ruying, Luo Yingxin, and the others had been waiting at the palace gate for a while, worried.

The moment she got off the celestial crane, Luo Ruxin didn't look back. As if escaping, she threw herself at Luo Ruying, tears pouring from her eyes like a broken dam…

"Sob sob sob… Big Sister…"

"Wh-What's wrong…?!"

Luo Ruying asked with concern, holding Luo Ruxin.

Logically, with Ning Yechen by her side, no accident should have happened.

Why is she crying after coming back…

Luo Yingxin, Luo Tianya, and the others also gathered around, very worried.

"Girl, what happened?"

"Were you bullied at the Qin Immortal Residence?"

"Or did you fail to cancel the engagement?"

"The people from the Qin Immortal Residence didn't bully me…”

"The marriage contract was also canceled…"

Luo Ruxin lifted her head from Luo Ruying’s embrace and said, her eyes red-rimmed.

"Since the marriage contract was canceled, what are you still crying about?" Luo Ruying asked, puzzled.

But what Luo Ruxin said next was even more astonishing.

"Big Sister, Mother, Father, I… I'm probably going to die…"

"Ah…?!"

Luo Ruying, Luo Yingxin, and the others were instantly given a huge fright.

It's that serious?!

"What on earth happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"Big Sister, Brother-in-law, he… sob sob sob…" Luo Ruxin said intermittently, crying all the while.

These half-spoken words made it sound as if Ning Yechen had done something unspeakable to Luo Ruxin…

Luo Ruying instantly furrowed her brows and looked coquettishly towards the approaching Ning Yechen.

"Husband…?"

"My wife, I swear, I didn't do anything to Ruxin."

Ning Yechen revealed a wry smile and innocently raised his arm to swear an oath.

Luo Ruying naturally believed Ning Yechen. She looked at Luo Ruxin in her arms again and continued to ask:

"What about your brother-in-law…?"

"Tell Big Sister. If your brother-in-law really bullied you, Big Sister will take care of him for you!"

"Big Sister, Brother-in-law, he… he's the Demon Lord, right…?"

Luo Ruxin sniffled and asked, looking at Luo Ruying with a face full of grievance.

Luo Ruying: "..."

"It seems you already know."

"That's right, your brother-in-law is the Demon Lord."

Luo Ruying said with an embarrassed smile, a little sheepishly.

She could roughly guess why Luo Ruxin was saying she was going to die.

"Waaaah, Big Sister and Mother and Father are too unfair…!"

"You all clearly knew Brother-in-law's identity, but you didn't tell me…!"

Luo Ruxin immediately wailed, her eyes brimming with tears.

That appearance of hers looked as aggrieved as could possibly be…

"I'm sorry, Ruxin. Mother, Father, and I were actually planning to find a time to tell you…" Luo Ruying explained.

Not telling Luo Ruxin Ning Yechen’s true identity for so long indeed seemed to be their fault…

"But I've already slapped Brother-in-law, and I've done all sorts of rude things to him…"

"I'm definitely not going to live! Waaaah…”

Luo Ruxin wailed loudly.

Having been in the Heavenly Realm for so long, how could she not have heard the rumors about the Demon Lord.

Rumor had it that the Demon Lord was extremely cruel and domineering. Basically, no one who provoked him was spared; even a watchdog of the Heavenly Realm that he passed by would get slapped twice!

And she had even hit the Demon Lord. She was dead for sure...!

The crowd: "…"

Everyone present, hearing this, was instantly stunned.

Ning Yechen, moreover, had a look of helplessness and innocence.

When had he said he was going to kill her? How come he didn't know…

This girl, really…

Even if he had really wanted to make a move, he would have done so long ago.

Why would he have gone to all the trouble to accompany her to cancel the engagement and then safely bring her back to the Luo Shen Palace…

Luo Ruying could tell with one look that this girl Luo Ruxin was definitely just scaring herself and letting her imagination run wild.

"Alright now, don't be scared."

"Your brother-in-law is actually very gentle. How could he hurt you?"

"If he really wanted to hurt you, would you have been able to come back?" Luo Ruying said comfortingly, patting Luo Ruxin in her embrace.

Luo Ruxin calmed down and thought about it. It seemed to made sense…

If Ning Yechen had really wanted to kill her, it would have been impossible for her to return alive…

Luo Ruxin turned her head to look at Ning Yechen behind her and asked weakly with teary eyes:

"B-Brother-in-law… y-you're really not mad at me…?"

"I have never blamed you."

Ning Yechen smiled helplessly, placed his hand on Luo Ruxin’s head, and said softly.

When Ning Yechen’s hand reached over, Luo Ruxin shrank back in fear.

After hearing Ning Yechen’s reply, she was moved and started to cry again.

A sense of relief at having successfully survived…

Luo Ruying, Luo Yingxin, and the others also couldn't help but reveal helpless yet doting smiles.

This girl was so old, yet she was still such a crybaby…

Still like a child, not at all like an Immortal Sovereign realm cultivator.

"Alright, alright, let's go~"

Luo Ruying pulled Luo Ruxin and walked towards home.

Just as Ning Yechen was preparing to follow, his steps suddenly halted, and he turned with a sharp gaze to look at the distant sky beyond the Luo Shen Palace.

"What's wrong, Husband?"

Luo Ruying, seeing Ning Yechen looking behind him, couldn't help but also stop and turn to ask.

"It's nothing."

"Just my imagination."

Ning Yechen smiled faintly, walked forward, and took Luo Ruying’s hand to leave.

He gave a cold glance at the distance behind him out of the corner of his eye, then paid it no mind.

A hundred li away from the Luo Shen Palace, a towering and burly figure was standing amidst the clouds and mist, silently watching Luo Ruying’s group.

Its sharp gaze was fixed tightly on Luo Hongye, who was being held in Luo Yingxin’s arms. Then, it turned and left…
