Vol. 1 - Ch. 40 - Break His Third Leg

Jiang Li was stunned.In an instant, he realized that they couldn’t withstand the spiritual energy from Luo Ruying.

The powerful aura and terrifying pressure knocked Jiang Li and his guards to the ground.

Just as Luo Ruying was about to teach Jiang Li a lesson, a figure leaped out from nowhere and protected Jiang Li’s group.

It was an old man with white hair and a hooked nose.

The old man used his withered hands to block Luo Ruying’s aura. As he did, he retreated several steps and almost fell to the ground!

What a powerful force!

This woman seemed young, but her cultivation was at least as strong as his at the Immortal Transformation realm, maybe even higher!

“Miss, he did not mean to be rude. I hope you won’t take it to heart. In the future, the Jiang family will surely pay a visit bearing gifts,” Zhao Zhuohao said politely with his hands cupped.

He estimated that Luo Ruying’s cultivation was above his, and he might not be her match!

Luo Ruying frowned. She relaxed her aura and said calmly, “Are you his guardian?”

Guardians, as the name suggested, were people that powerful families hired to protect their progeny with the greatest potential.

Guardians would usually hide around the protectee. Once the protectee encountered danger, the guardians would appear.

Luo Ruying did not expect a scumbag like Jiang Li to have a guardian.

From the looks of it, the Jiang family was indeed quite powerful.

Zhao Zhuohao nodded, admitting that he was a guardian.

“Old Zhao, we can't let her off! Capture her this instant!” Jiang Li ordered angrily, pointing at Luo Ruying after slumping to the ground from fright.

All his time in Nanli City, he had never suffered such humiliation before!

“Young Master, the family leader is waiting for you to return. If you keep him waiting, he won’t be happy,” Zhao Zhuohao persuaded.

He knew his young master’s personality very well and knew he was stubborn. He came close to his ear and whispered, “Young Master, that woman is not difficult to deal with. If you really like her, I will find some other way to get her, but not today.”

Jiang Li looked at Luo Ruying sinisterly, unwilling to give up yet.

Hearing Zhao Zhuohao promise he would help him get the woman in the future, Jiang Li showed an expectant look in his eyes and licked his lips.

Never mind. He would let her off today!

When she fell into his hands, he would teach her a lesson!

“Let’s go!” Jiang Li climbed up and said angrily to the guards behind him.

Before he left, he cast a meaningful look at Luo Ruying. Someone’s wife, huh? That will make the taste even better.

Zhao Zhuohao gave Luo Ruying a fake smile and proceeded to go out of sight.

“Big Sister Luo, Big Brother Ning, sorry for making things unpleasant for you.” Qi Yuan bowed in apology.

Jiang Li was clearly targeting her. Had she not insisted on following them, Luo Ruying would not have been harassed.

Even though Luo Ruying felt helpless, she shook her head and said it was okay.

If not for Luo Hongye and Ning Yechen, just the dirty look Jiang Li gave her was enough for her to slaughter him!

If the incident ended like this, it would be for the best.

Otherwise, she would not show mercy if he dared to disrespect her again!

“Let's go too.” Luo Ruying turned her head to Ning Yechen.

She saw him looking at her with a silly smile.

“W-what's wrong?” Luo Ruying asked in surprise.

“It’s nothing. I'm just glad you finally called me your husband.” Ning Yechen smiled and leaned close to Luo Ruying.

He was furious, but the moment he heard Luo Ruying say, ‘No one can insult my husband’, he was delighted.

This was the second time Luo Ruying called him her husband. The last time was when she had told him to run with their daughter.

Luo Ruying’s face turned red when she thought of what she said.

Earlier, she had been mad when Jiang Li called Ning Yechen a pretty boy, so she had blurted it out.

In hindsight, it was a little embarrassing.

It was common for married couples to address each other like this, but such a simple word made him so happy.

Watching their interactions, Qi Yuan sighed in a daze. They are so close, and their relationship has a fresh feeling to it, even though they already have a child.

“Dear, from now on, can you continue calling me that?” Ning Yechen stuck close to Luo Ruying with a radiant smile.

Luo Ruying’s face blushed crimson as she pouted and whispered, “From now on, I’ll try.”

It still felt a little embarrassing for her to call Ning Yechen her husband.

But since Ning Yechen really liked it, she could not say no to his request. She could only shyly say she would try.

When she got used to it, she would naturally change her ways.

Ning Yechen smiled. Although he could not get what he wanted, he had the time. He held Luo Ruying's hand and continued strolling the streets.

He was willing to give her as much time as she needed.

Luo Ruying carried their daughter with one hand while Ning Yechen held her other. The family of three looked blissful.

Qi Yuan was walking behind them and felt embarrassed to join them. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

She seemed a little redundant here.

While Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, and the group walked through the street, they passed by three people wearing bamboo hats.

Three figures were standing at a stall, eating food with their backs facing Ning Yechen.

When Ning Yechen and the others went past them, the faces of the three Monster Kings from the Monster Domain Forest were revealed.

That’s right. It was none other than Chaos Demonic Bull and the other two Monster Kings working for Ning Yechen!

The three of them had been secretly following Ning Yechen, always awaiting his orders.

They had also witnessed the incident earlier.

Seeing Jiang Li disrespect Luo Ruying and call Ning Yechen a pretty boy, they nearly went insane!

They were afraid Ning Yechen might raze Nanli City to the ground in a fit of anger.

Sky-Swallowing Python was eating without making eye contact with Ning Yechen. She sent a voice transmission, asking coldly, “Sir, should we kill those people who were rude to you?”

“Don’t kill that guy named Jiang Li. Just break his third leg. As for the rest, kill them. Remember not to make too much noise. My family and I are shopping, and I don’t want anything to disturb us,” Ning Yechen said lightly with his eyes narrowed.

It was as if he were talking about something mundane.

Hearing the order, the three Monster Kings quietly left the stall and headed toward Jiang Li’s group.

The three of them felt puzzled as to why Ning Yechen wanted to take Jiang Li's third leg instead of killing him.

After careful thought, they concluded that Ning Yechen probably wanted to take care of Jiang Li personally.

If Jiang Li died at their hands, it would be a quick death.

But in Ning Yechen’s hand, things would be different.
