Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 28 - His Father-In-Law!



“Demon Lord, I hope you can make it clear,” Luo Tianya said doubtfully.

He thought for some time, but he had no idea how he could have offended the Demon Lord.

“Let me ask you. Did you send people to hunt down Ruying?” Ning Yechen narrowed his eyes.

Luo Tianya frowned, looking puzzled. “Demon Lord, are you joking? Ruying is my daughter. Why would I send people to hunt her down?”

Huh? He didn’t order it? Ning Yechen also felt puzzled and observed Luo Tianya.

Luo Tianya was composed but looked puzzled. From the looks of it, he was not lying.

Those people who came to kill Ruying weren’t sent by the Temple of Goddess Luo? Ning Yechen wondered who it could be.

Luo Tianya explained, “Demon Lord, although I don’t know why you’re looking for my daughter, she was taken away over a century ago by a certain force. Since then, I haven't seen her, and she has never returned to the Temple of Goddess Luo.”

“What force?” Ning Yechen asked in a grim voice.

Since the Temple of Goddess Luo was not behind this, it had to be that force who had taken her away!

Luo Tianya shook his head. “I don’t know. I simply know that they are extremely powerful, far beyond what the temple can compare to. Even the Shimmering Ice Sacred Domain doesn’t dare to offend them! They claimed that my daughter was very talented and had the potential to become an Empress. After making us a lot of promises, they took her away.”

The Shimmering Ice Sacred Domain was among the Nine Great Heavenly Domains and on par with Tiandao Palace. If the Shimmering Ice Sacred Domain did not dare to offend them, then it could only be one of the reclusive ancient families that had been around for over a millennium in the Heavenly Realm!

Those people usually lived in reclusion somewhere in the Heavenly Realm. Unless something catastrophic happened in the Heavenly Realm, they would never appear, let alone get involved in anything.

However, they had ordered the pursuit of Luo Ruying!

The Heavenly Realm was vast and had endless lands, seas, planets, and stars. It was hundreds of times bigger than the Mortal Realm. Finding those ancient families was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even if he could find one, it might not be the family behind the pursuit of Luo Ruying.

Ning Yechen looked annoyed.

His wife’s situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Since someone from an ancient family had their eye on his wife, it meant his wife was extraordinarily talented.

Otherwise, those mysterious ancient families would not have their eye on her.

Seeing the displeasure on Ning Yechen’s face, Luo Tianya plucked up his courage and asked cautiously, “Demon Lord, have you seen my daughter? How is she?”

Through this conversation with Ning Yechen, he could tell the Demon Lord was here to hold people accountable, but it felt more like he wanted to vent Luo Ruying’s anger for her!

It seemed the Demon Lord knew his daughter!

From the sound of it, someone was hunting down his daughter!

As a father, for the sake of the family's future, he had had no choice but to let his daughter go a century ago. But this had become his greatest regret.

Now, he did not even know if his daughter was dead or alive.

Hearing Luo Tianya’s questions, Ning Yechen snapped out of his thoughts. He hurriedly put his legs down and sat up straight.

His face changed from a cold and ignorant expression to a kind and genial smile.

His smile even looked a little ingratiating.

When he first came here, he did not know the truth and planned to destroy the Temple of Goddess Luo, so he had the attitude he had used as the Demon Lord.

Now that he knew it was a misunderstanding, he instantly changed his attitude.

After all, the other party was his wife’s father and his father-in-law!

He had crossed his legs and talked with his hand on his cheek. It was very rude!

He had to save his image and give a good impression!

At this moment, Ning Yechen felt glad that he had not recklessly destroyed the Temple of Goddess Luo.

If he had, he would have been in big trouble!

“Ahem. Fa—No… Sir, your daughter is fine. Don’t worry,” Ning Yechen said courteously with a smile.

Ning Yechen's attitude had made a 180-degree change.

Luo Tianya was at a loss and felt wary. Why did the Demon Lord’s attitude suddenly change?

“Demon Lord…”

“You don’t have to address me as Demon Lord and make things so distant. My name is Ning Yechen. Why don’t you just call me Yechen?”

The moment Luo Tianya spoke, Ning Yechen interrupted him and smiled in a friendly manner.

This made Luo Tianya feel even more uneasy.

The Demon Lord actually wanted to be on a first-name basis.

This was probably completely unheard of in the Heavenly Realm.

Hardly anyone dared to call the Demon Lord directly by his name.

“Ye-Yechen…” Luo Tianya said cautiously.

“Uh-huh! Please go ahead,” Ning Yechen answered in satisfaction.

This way, their relationship as father-in-law and son-in-law would get closer.

But at this moment, it was not the right time to tell Luo Tianya about his relationship with Luo Ruying.

At least he had to get Luo Ruying to accept his true identity first. Then he would find an opportunity to make an official announcement.

Luo Tianya felt a little concerned by Ning Yechen’s sudden ingratiating attitude. But he was more worried about Luo Ruying’s situation.

He put on a bold front and asked, “You must have seen my daughter, right? Is she well? Where is she?”

“She's well. You don’t have to worry. As for her location, I can’t tell you for now.” Ning Yechen thought about it and decided not to tell Luo Tianya more about Luo Ruying.

In order to make him worry, Ning Yechen did not tell him about Luo Ruying's immortal bone and heart getting removed.

First, he was afraid that Luo Tianya would be even more worried after knowing that Luo Ruying was with him. Now was not the time to tell him.

Second, if he told Luo Tianya, it might put the Temple of Goddess Luo at risk!

If the ancient family who had taken Luo Ruying away wanted to take it out on the Temple of Goddess Luo, it would be effortless.

Luo Ruying knew this as well. So even when she escaped, she had no intention of returning to the Temple of Goddess Luo and did not tell them a word.

She was worried that the ancient family would find out and bring catastrophe to her family.

It was why she had resolutely chosen to escape to the Mortal Realm.

This was not enough to set Luo Tianya’s heart at ease. He had more questions, but before he could ask, Ning Yechen disappeared into thin air.

Since it was not the Temple of Goddess Luo who had sent people after Luo Ruying, there was no point staying here.

It would be difficult to find the true culprit, so he could only wait for the other party to come knocking again.

They had dug out his wife's immortal bone and heart. He could not let them off easy!

Luo Tianya watched Ning Yechen leave, but he did not feel relief at all. Instead, he looked very solemn. Why does Ruying know the Demon Lord? Why did he come to the Heavenly Realm to investigate her? What happened to her? Why are people hunting her down?

Luo Tianya's instincts told him that something must have happened to Luo Ruying!

No, he could not sit and wait!

Luo Tianya’s face looked serious as he shouted outside the room, “Men!”
