Vol. 1 - Ch. 2 - Who Said Anything About Not Taking Responsibility?

Luo Ruying carried Luo Hongye to the wooden house. While knocking on the door, she felt worried.The door slowly opened with a creak.

“May I ask whom you are looking for?” Ning Yechen stood at the door with a smile on his face.

For some reason, he could not help feeling something familiar about the girl in front of him.

Looking at the face in her memory, Luo Ruying pursed her lips slightly, lowered her eyes, and did not know where to start for a moment.

After a brief hesitation, she asked quizzically, “Have you forgotten me?”

_Hmmm? _Ning Yechen scrutinized the girl.

Her hair was black, her eyes were red, and she was beautiful!

She was indeed familiar!

But he was unable to remember her.

He had seen many beauties in his time, so he had trouble remembering her for a moment.

Also, he had gone into reclusion for such a long time, so no one should know he was here!

“Who are you?” Ning Yechen asked awkwardly. He had thought for a long time but was unable to match a name to her face.

When Luo Ruying noticed that he genuinely did not remember her, a look of frustration and disappointment appeared on her face. She could not help saying angrily, “You… you heartless cad!”

He had taken her virginity, and she was trying so hard to keep their child safe.

Now, they had finally escaped from the Heavenly Realm and came all the way to find him, but he did not remember her at all!

She knew that for a mortal, people could forget many things in ten years.

But she could not help feeling enraged and disappointed when Ning Yechen forgot about her completely.

The scolding instantly left Ning Yechen stunned.

To be honest, ever since he transmigrated into this world and became the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm a century ago, he had never dated. He was definitely not a heartless cad.

This was ridiculous!

This was slander! Pure slander!

“Is there some kind of misunderstanding? Did you get the wrong person?” Ning Yechen felt that this woman must have gotten the wrong guy!

Seeing that Ning Yechen really could not remember her, Luo Ruying sighed in disappointment. She held Luo Hongye and looked at him sadly. “She’s your daughter. You are responsible for us.”

“Huh?” Ning Yechen was stunned!

This news was simply explosive! He suddenly became a father! Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Ning Yechen lowered his head to look at Luo Hongye. She looked as exquisite as a doll and a little shy as she kept looking at him.

The little girl was adorable. He inexplicably felt close to her the first time he laid eyes on her.

When he was suddenly told that she was his child, he was at a loss.

Other than those nights of hot sex ten years ago, he had not touched a single woman!

_Huh? _At the thought of this, something suddenly struck Ning Yechen, and he pointed at Luo Ruying. “A-are you the fairy from those nights?”

Seeing that Ning Yechen had finally recalled, Luo Ruying nodded shyly.

After hearing the answer, Ning Yechen opened his mouth in surprise. No way! It’s really her!

Luo Ruying’s cultivation was far weaker than before and at a completely different level.

Her once beautiful silver hair was now black, so he had been unable to remember her no matter how he tried.

He did not think she was the girl from those nights at all.

Ning Yechen was a little puzzled.

After having sex with him, the woman who used to be a fairy ten years ago came back with a child to hold him accountable!

As a fairy, considering her rank, she might even be good enough to be a saintess or an Empress in the Heavenly Realm, but she strangely came to the Mortal Realm to look for him.

What made it even more unfathomable was that the higher the cultivation base, the harder it was for people to get pregnant. This was common knowledge.

For some Heavenly Venerables, to have children, they had to keep trying daily with various partners for many years before they succeeded.

He had inexplicably hit the bull's eye in one go!

Never mind that, as a cultivator, she could use her powers to terminate the pregnancy at any time if she wanted.

He thought that after the sex, Luo Ruying would definitely do this to prevent a pregnancy.

After all, she was a fairy from the Heavenly Realm, so she could not casually have a baby.

In the end, she had genuinely spent several years waiting for the fetus to grow, giving birth to it, and raising the child!

“I-is she really my child?” Ning Yechen asked in disbelief.

He was simply asking for confirmation, but he knew the answer in his heart.

However, the moment Ning Yechen blurted the words from his mouth, he regretted it.

It seemed rather rude.

Sure enough, hearing Ning Yechen’s words, Luo Ruying frowned deeply. Her face was dark as she gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Hmph! If you don’t want to take responsibility, I’ll just take the child and leave! You don’t have to insult us!”

With that, Luo Ruying turned to leave without hesitation with tears in her eyes.

Leaning on Luo Ruying’s shoulder, Luo Hongye looked at Ning Yechen intently with her big eyes. She said quietly into her mother’s ear, “Doesn’t Daddy want us?”

The moment she saw Ning Yechen, she inexplicably felt close to him.

Luo Hongye was always shy, but she wasn't afraid of Ning Yechen in the slightest, so she knew that he must be the father she had been dreaming of all this time.

Luo Hongye’s words struck Ning Yechen in the heart deeply, making him tremble uncontrollably.

As the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, he was not the kind of scumbag who would abandon his wife and child.

He had not been afraid to do it, so he was naturally fine with taking responsibility.

Ning Yechen quickly walked up beside Luo Ruying and grabbed her arm. “Hang on! I didn't say I wouldn't take responsibility!”

“Hmph! Let go of me! I don't need you to take responsibility anymore!” Luo Ruying angrily pushed aside Ning Yechen’s hand.

Afraid that she would hurt the mortal Ning Yechen, she deliberately reduced her strength and did it gently.

Even though she had lowered her strength, it should be enough to wrest herself free from a grown man, but she was unable to escape Ning Yechen’s grip.

Before Luo Ruying could become surprised, she tasted something in her mouth. She quickly covered it and coughed a few times! “Cough, cough, cough!”

Blood appeared on Luo Ruying’s hand, and her face became increasingly pale!

“Are you hurt?” Ning Yechen instantly gripped Luo Ruying’s wrist, looking cold.

“I… I’m fine. Let go of me.” Luo Ruying struggled to get away, but she had no energy. The moment she took a step forward, her vision turned blurry, and she fell into Ning Yechen’s arms and fainted.

“Mommy! Mommy!” Luo Hongye shouted while holding Luo Ruying’s arm.

Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying by the waist and pulled her into his arms tightly while holding Luo Hongye with his other hand.

He comforted her gently. “Don't worry. With me around, your mother will be fine.”
