Chapter 204 - I Want to Understand a Little More About Him…
The next day, inside Yongye Juncheng.
Luo Ruying strolled along the streets, accompanied by Yue Qingyou.
Yue Qingyou held the E'xiao’s reins in her left hand, while Luo Hongye sat riding on the E'xiao’s back, her big, adorable, and nimble eyes still looking around curiously, full of novelty for everything.
Yesterday, after seeing that Luo Hongye really liked the E'xiao, Ye Tianshen directly gifted her this King of the E'xiao to be her personal pet.
Following the little kitty, Luo Hongye had now obtained a big kitty, and had also made some new friends in the city.
Today, it was originally supposed to be Ning Yechen continuing to stroll and play in the city with Luo Ruying and their child.
But before they set out, Ning Yechen suddenly had business to attend to, so he had no choice but to have Yue Qingyou temporarily accompany Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye.
With Ning Yechen missing from her side, Luo Ruying’s enthusiasm suddenly dampened quite a bit.
But thinking about it, he was the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm; it was indeed true that he would sometimes have urgent matters to attend to.
While he was away, she also happened to want to understand more about him from other aspects…
Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes gazed at both sides of the street, discovering that almost everywhere she went, she could see people praising Ning Yechen.
Many shops on the streets also sold sculptures or portraits related to Ning Yechen, and so on…
And these sculptures and portraits were exceptionally popular and sought after. The buyers were an endless stream, and business was abnormally booming…
After careful observation, Luo Ruying discovered that the vast majority of those buying these things seemed to be women…
And no matter where she went, there would always be many women secretly watching her from the surroundings.
Some would respectfully and politely call her Madam, some had faces full of envy and regret, and still others were filled with hostility…
Although the hostile gazes were few, she had indeed felt them.
At first, Luo Ruying thought they were hostile towards her because of her identity as a member of the Heavenly clan.
It wasn't until later, when she discovered that almost all the people who were hostile to her were women, that she felt it probably wasn't that issue…
Only after asking Yue Qingyou did she learn that they were simply jealous of her…
"Madam, you may not understand."
"Demon Lord is extremely popular in the Demon Realm~"
"The women of the Demon Realm most love to pursue the strong. The number of women in the Demon Realm who pursue Demon Lord is countless."
"If you were to speak of women in the Demon Realm who do not like Demon Lord, there are almost none."
Yue Qingyou lifted her snow-white, jade-like neck and said with great pride.
Just like a mother who is proud of her child for being popular with women…
So he was this popular in the Demon Realm…
Hearing this, Luo Ruying felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart…
In her mind, she suddenly thought of Chi Huan, You Lian, and the others.
Judging from their usual interactions, she hadn't seen any sign at all that they liked Ning Yechen…
"Qingyou, you said almost all women like him…?"
"Then what about Chi Huan and the others…?"
Luo Ruying asked curiously.
She felt that Chi Huan and the others were all very respectful towards Ning Yechen, just like loyal subordinates.
The corners of Yue Qingyou’s mouth curved into a faint arc, and she nodded lightly.
"Yes, Madam. They all also like and revere Demon Lord."
"A long time ago, some among them even tried to force themselves on Demon Lord, but they just didn't succeed."
Luo Ruying: "…"
Eh…!
I've never heard that fellow mention this at all…! （￣へ￣）
Yue Qingyou, seeing Luo Ruying lightly furrow her beautiful brows and pout her lips, couldn't help but explain with a faint smile:
"Madam, you need not mind."
"Despite being pursued by so many women in the Demon Realm, Demon Lord chose only you, did he not?"
These words from Yue Qingyou instantly made Luo Ruying’s cheeks turn red, and she became embarrassed.
Suddenly, she was no longer angry in her heart…
Yue Qingyou took in all the changes in Luo Ruying’s expression and asked curiously:
"Madam, may I be so bold as to ask, how did you move Demon Lord's heart?"
"And how did you come to meet Demon Lord?"
Yue Qingyou was actually extremely curious about this question!
She had wanted to ask ever since their first meeting!
Demon Lord, who once single-mindedly pursued strength and later gave up everything to live in seclusion, had rejected the one hundred thousand beauties of the Demon Realm that she had meticulously selected for him…!
Yet he chose only Luo Ruying, and even returned to the Demon Realm for her…
This truly made her, this 'mother figure,' very curious…
Luo Ruying's face was flushed red. She shyly avoided Yue Qingyou’s gaze and replied softly:
"W-We just happened to meet in a forest by chance…"
She really couldn't bring herself to speak of her first encounter with Ning Yechen…
Actually, it seems she also forced her way to first base…
It's just that she succeeded…
Yue Qingyou, seeing that Luo Ruying seemed to find it difficult to speak of, did not ask any further, although she was even more curious in her heart.
In any case, at least she had already seen the result she wanted to see…
It would just be even better if there could be a few more little princesses or little princes…
"Qingyou, I want to understand a little more about him…"
Luo Ruying turned her head to look at Yue Qingyou and said sincerely.
Ever since she had known Ning Yechen, she discovered that besides his name, she seemed to not understand him at all.
Even this identity as the Demon Lord was something she had only recently learned after spending a long time with him.
She had never understood anything else about him at all.
Hearing Luo Ruying ask this, Yue Qingyou revealed a very gratified smile.
Perhaps she knew why Demon Lord had chosen Madam…
"If Madam wants to know about Demon Lord, I will slowly tell Madam everything I know."
"However, there are many matters concerning Demon Lord, so it probably can't all be told in a short while."
"It's alright, you can just tell me slowly in the future.”
Luo Ruying said with a light laugh.
Yue Qingyou began to narrate many stories about Ning Yechen’s past as she strolled aimlessly through the streets with Luo Ruying.
Whenever she spoke of how Ning Yechen crushed the various clans of the Demon Realm with his own power alone and stood against the countless experts of the Demon Realm at the time, Yue Qingyou’s face was full of pride, and she was not the least bit stingy with her praise for Ning Yechen.
However, when she spoke of how Ning Yechen would sometimes not listen to her and act willfully, her face would show helplessness and doting affection…
A look that said there was nothing she could do with him…
Luo Ruying listened from the side with great concentration and seriousness, and without realizing it, she came to admire and revere Yue Qingyou even more…
Yue Qingyou, in her eyes at this moment, was like a long-suffering old mother, narrating how she raised her child bit by bit, helping him ascend to the position of Demon Lord step by step…
Yue Qingyou met Ning Yechen when she was twelve.
And at that time, Ning Yechen was only four years old, but he already had a very cocky look on his face…
The two had a fight, and after that, she began to take on the task of taking care of and raising the child…
So for her to call herself Ning Yechen’s old nanny was not an exaggeration at all…
"Qingyou, did you never think of becoming the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm?"
Luo Ruying, after listening to many stories, couldn't help but ask curiously.
With Yue Qingyou’s cultivation and strength, she felt that she could have also contended for the position of the Demon Realm's Demon Lord back then.
And yet, she chose to assist Ning Yechen in becoming the Demon Lord…
Yue Qingyou’s expression froze for a moment, then she revealed a serene, calm, and exquisitely beautiful smile.
"Why, you ask…"
"Because my intuition told me that that child would one day become the strongest, most unprecedented Demon Lord in the history of the world~!”
"He would create a brand new Demon Realm~"
Luo Ruying was deeply shaken by Yue Qingyou’s answer.
Looking at the Demon Realm of today, Yue Qingyou’s intuition was completely right!
He really did it...!
Before Luo Ruying could recover from her shock, Yue Qingyou placed a hand on her chest again and added with extra doting affection:
"Besides, as a 'mother,' of course one must leave the best for her own child~"
"Madam, are you not the same?"
Luo Ruying was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to look at the dazed and adorable Luo Hongye sitting beside her on the E'xiao, and couldn't help but reveal a light smile and nod in agreement.
"That's true…”
