Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 54
Yes, You’re Dead!

After receiving their clothes from Luo Ruying, Meng Niu and the others began their duties as servants.

First, they meticulously cleaned every corner of the courtyard, then they chopped wood and boiled water, working diligently.

However, except for Cai Se, Meng Niu and Bai Yuan were quite clumsy and unskilled, often breaking things.

Luo Ruying didn’t mind and even told them not to work so hard, suggesting they take a break.

Now, the three Demon Kings stood in the courtyard, staring blankly at Luo Hongye, who was squatting on the ground, shaping snowballs…

They had been instructed by Ning Yechen to play with Luo Hongye.

But they had no idea how to play with a child…!

They were capable of killing and setting fires, but playing with a child was a bit too much for them…

“Cai Se, think of something…” Bai Yuan pleaded with Cai Se through voice transmission.

The three of them had now accepted the new names given to them by Ning Yechen.

“If I had any ideas, would I be standing here doing nothing…!” Cai Se retorted, rolling her eyes at Bai Yuan and Meng Niu.

These two are truly useless…!

Although Luo Hongye was still a bit timid, her father had told her that they weren’t bad people, so she gathered her courage, held up a snowball, and asked in her sweet, childish voice:

“Brothers and sister, do you want to build a snowman together?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The three of them nodded frantically, like chickens pecking at rice, seeing Luo Hongye taking the initiative to talk to them.

This was a rare opportunity to interact with the little princess!

They would even be willing to clean out a latrine if she asked!

Seeing them agree, Luo Hongye smiled happily and started rolling a snowball on the ground, following the method Ning Yechen had taught her.

“Then Ye Ye will teach you.”

“First like this~ then like this~ and then like this~”

Meng Niu and the other two knelt on the ground, helping Luo Hongye roll the snowball, occasionally clapping and praising her.

“Wow, wow, wow, Miss is so amazing~”

“Miss is so smart~”

“Miss is truly gifted~”

“Much smarter than me!”

Even Ning Yechen, sitting with Luo Ruying, couldn’t help but look at them with a speechless expression.

The three of them were practically overflowing with flattery…

It was only because Ye Ye was still young and couldn’t see through it…

But seeing how happy their child was, he would let it slide…

Luo Ruying also sat to the side, resting her chin on her hand, a smile on her face as she quietly watched Luo Hongye.

Seeing more people playing with her daughter made her happy.

However, as she watched, she noticed someone inching closer and closer to her…

“What are you doing…?” Luo Ruying asked, glancing at Ning Yechen.

She had thought he would back off, but instead, he leaned even closer, resting his head on her shoulder…!

This action startled Luo Ruying.

“I’m a bit tired, wife. I want to borrow your shoulder to rest on for a bit…” Ning Yechen said with a faint smile, his eyes closed.

Although he was happy and willing to spend time with their child, he also enjoyed moments alone with his wife…

Now that Meng Niu and the others were playing with Luo Hongye, this was a rare opportunity for some couple time, and he naturally had to seize it…

Luo Ruying calmed down and gave Ning Yechen a playful glare.

“If you’re tired, you should go back to the house and rest…”

“But I prefer to be here with you, wife,” Ning Yechen replied without opening his eyes.

His words made Luo Ruying blush slightly, and she didn’t say anything more.

She just secretly stole a few glances at Ning Yechen’s sleeping face.

Since he likes it, she will let him be…

It is just resting on her shoulder; it isn’t a big deal…

The two figures sat quietly in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, with the help of Meng Niu and the others, three more snowmen appeared in the courtyard.

These three new snowmen stood behind the original three.

Luo Hongye pointed at the newly built snowmen and said with a smile, “These are the snowmen for my brothers and sister~”

Meng Niu and the others finally realized that Luo Hongye was building snowmen for them. They were so touched that they almost burst into tears.

Miss considers them part of the family!

Miss is so kind!

Cai Se even felt the urge to scoop up the tiny Luo Hongye and shower her with affection!

But remembering that she was Master’s daughter, she restrained herself…

After building the snowmen, Luo Hongye started a snowball fight with Meng Niu and the others.

Luo Hongye’s small hands lacked strength, and the snowballs she made were loose and fluffy, practically harmless.

At most, her snowballs could only reach their feet, and sometimes they even disintegrated mid-air.

But despite this, Luo Hongye was having a blast.

Meng Niu and the others also made snowballs to retaliate.

However, they wouldn’t dare actually throw them at Luo Hongye.

They wouldn’t even with ten times the courage…

They deliberately threw the snowballs to the side, not even grazing her.

And they even pretended to be disappointed and regretful.

However, Meng Niu got carried away and gradually immersed himself in the game. He casually threw a snowball, and it landed squarely on Luo Hongye’s little face.

Luo Hongye’s face was instantly covered in snow…

Cai Se: “…!”

Bai Yuan: “…!”

Meng Niu: “…!!!”

The scene froze, the only sound being the howling wind and falling snow.

Meng Niu covered his face in terror, his expression a perfect rendition of the famous painting “The Scream.”

His heart felt as cold as the icy landscape around them…

Meng Niu stiffly turned his head towards Cai Se and Bai Yuan, his dumbfounded expression clearly asking “Am I dead…?”

Even though Meng Niu didn’t say a word, Cai Se and Bai Yuan understood his unspoken question and nodded solemnly.

“Yes, you’re dead!”

Meng Niu’s face instantly fell, a look of utter despair washing over him.

It’s over…

He could see the end of his life right here, right now…

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying both noticed Luo Hongye’s snow-covered face and walked over to her, brushing the snow off her cheeks.

To their surprise, Luo Hongye wasn’t crying but giggling happily.

The snowball from Meng Niu’s hand hadn’t been packed tightly, and he hadn’t thrown it with much force, so Luo Hongye didn’t feel any pain.

Seeing that Luo Hongye wasn’t hurt or upset, Ning Yechen decided not to punish Meng Niu.

Meng Niu, unaware of Ning Yechen’s intentions, was already imagining how he would disappear from this world…

After the snow was wiped from her face, Luo Hongye took Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying’s hands and said with a smile:

“Daddy, Mommy, let’s play together~”

“There are three of them, and only one Ye Ye. Daddy and Mommy, help Ye Ye.”

“Okay, okay.”

Luo Ruying agreed with a doting smile.

A three-versus-three snowball fight ensued in the courtyard.

However, how could Meng Niu and the others fight back…?

They wouldn’t dare throw snowballs at any of them, not Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, or Luo Hongye…

In no time, the three Demon Kings were buried in snowballs…

Rather than a snowball fight, it was more like they were moving targets.
