Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 53
Only Master is Scary…

Hmm?

Are those visitors?

Luo Ruying, having warmed Ning Yechen’s hands, stood up with Luo Hongye in her arms and opened the courtyard gate.

Outside, two men and a woman stood waiting.

One of the men had a broad build and a handsome, resolute face, with an honest and amiable smile.

The other man had long, white hair and a refined, elegant appearance.

The woman had a slender figure with a willowy waist and a strikingly beautiful face.

The three of them, dressed in simple clothes, smiled and bowed to Luo Ruying.

“Greetings, Madam.”

They were the Chaos Bull Demon, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky-Swallowing Python from the Demon Realm Forest.

Previously, they hadn’t fully transformed into human forms, maintaining their half-demon appearances.

This was the first time they had appeared in their complete human forms.

“M-Madam…?”

Luo Ruying looked at the three of them in surprise.

She had no recollection of ever meeting them. Why are they calling her “Madam”…?

Just as Luo Ruying was about to ask if they had mistaken her for someone else, Ning Yechen walked over from behind and said with a smile.

“You’re here.”

Seeing Ning Yechen, the three Demon Kings quickly bowed and greeted him.

“Greetings, Young Master.”

“Young Master…?”

“Do you know them?” Luo Ruying asked, turning to Ning Yechen with a puzzled expression.

Ning Yechen nodded and explained, “Wife, these three are former servants of my family.”

“Since we’re settling down here, I called them over to assist you with the housework. From now on, you can ask them to do anything around the house.”

Ning Yechen had arranged for the three Demon Kings to come today.

He had previously made up a story about his background to Luo Ruying, and using that as a cover, he could reasonably integrate the three Demon Kings into their household, having them act as guards and help with chores…

This way, his wife will have more free time…

Luo Ruying didn’t think they needed extra servants; she could manage everything herself.

But hearing that they were former servants of his family, she decided not to refuse and let them stay.

After all, there were plenty of spare rooms in the house; it would be a waste not to use them.

“Come in, all of you.”

Luo Ruying smiled gently and stepped aside, allowing the three Demon Kings to enter the courtyard.

Luo Hongye, nestled in her arms, was as shy as ever, timidly observing the three newcomers.

“Hello, Miss~” the Sky-Swallowing Python greeted Luo Hongye with a friendly wave.

This is the little princess they will be serving in the future!

They can’t afford to make any mistakes!

They have to get on her good side!

“Hello, brother, sister…” Luo Hongye replied politely, although she was shy around strangers. She always tried to be courteous to those who were friendly to her.

Her sweet voice struck a chord in the hearts of the three Demon Kings…

What, what is with this child…

This was the first time they had met Ning Yechen’s daughter; they usually wouldn’t even dare to look at her.

She is so well-behaved and polite!

Is she really that Master’s daughter…?

Whenever they recalled Ning Yechen, the three Demon Kings couldn’t help but tremble with fear.

But Luo Hongye was so small and adorable, her timid appearance making them want to protect her!

She was completely different from that Master!

Of course, they only dared to think this inwardly. If their Master found out, they would be doomed…

After entering the courtyard, Luo Ruying led the three Demon Kings to three adjacent rooms.

“These will be your rooms from now on.”

“Yes, Madam,” the three replied respectfully with a bow.

Although they had never been servants before, after hearing that Ning Yechen wanted them to disguise themselves as servants and follow him, they had spent the entire night reading books on the proper etiquette and conduct of servants!

They had even secretly observed the behavior of servants in wealthy households.

All this was to ensure they wouldn’t make any mistakes or reveal their true identities.

“By the way, I don’t know your names yet,” Luo Ruying asked casually with a smile, after assigning them their rooms.

Even as an Empress residing in a heavenly palace, she would always ask the names of the maidservants around her.

She never treated her servants harshly. Even if they made mistakes, she would usually forgive them and not make things difficult for them.

She treated every servant with respect.

When asked about their names, the three Demon Kings froze.

Oh no!

They didn’t think about their names!

Having cultivated in seclusion in the Demon Realm Forest for hundreds of years, they had focused solely on their cultivation and never considered such a thing!

Seeing them suddenly freeze, unable to answer, Luo Ruying looked puzzled.

It is just a name, isn’t it?

Why do they need so long to think?

Noticing Luo Ruying’s suspicion, the three Demon Kings panicked and quickly made up names.

“I, I’m called Meng Niu…!”

“My name is Bai Yuan…”

“This servant is called Cai She…”

“Hmm? Meng Niu… Bai Yuan… Cai She…?” Luo Ruying frowned slightly. These names sounded rather strange…

The Sky-Swallowing Python gulped nervously, her heart pounding in her chest.

If we mess this up, that Master will skin us alive…

Fortunately, Ning Yechen stepped forward and explained, “Wife, their actual names are Meng Niu, Bai Yuan, and Cai Se.”

“Oh…” Luo Ruying nodded with a smile, her suspicions dispelled.

It was their accents that made her mishear their names… Of course, the names sounded strange.

Cai Se and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

These would be their new names from now on.

Names bestowed upon them by their Master.

Ning Yechen glanced at the three of them, instantly making them break out in a cold sweat, their bodies trembling…

Oh no, is Master angry…!

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Luo Ruying asked with concern, noticing their trembling.

“We’re fine, Madam.”

“It’s just… it’s cold now…”

“You should have said something. I’ll get you some clothes.”

Luo Ruying smiled gently, placed Luo Hongye in Ning Yechen’s arms, and turned to fetch some clothes.

Cai Se and the others were touched.

Madam is so kind…

Only Master is scary…

“Daddy, are these brothers and sister going to live here from now on?” Luo Hongye asked in a small voice, nestled in Ning Yechen’s arms.

“Yes, Daddy invited them to play with Ye Ye.”

“Don’t be afraid, Ye Ye. If they dare bully you, tell Daddy~”

Ning Yechen said softly to Luo Hongye.

As he spoke, he glanced coldly at the three Demon Kings.

The meaning was clear…

If any of them dared to upset his daughter, they could disappear from this place…

Cai Se and the others were so terrified that their legs turned to jelly, and they fell to the ground, trembling…

When Luo Ruying returned with the clothes, she was even more puzzled seeing the three of them shivering on the ground.

Although it is snowing and the weather has turned cold, is it really that cold…
