Vol. 1 - Ch. 71 - All for the Princess

It was time for Nanli City to usher in the Lunar New Year.

Each year, Nanli City would hold a grand celebration.

The festivities were to welcome the new year and pray for a good year to come.

Whenever it was time for the New Year festival, Nanli City would be at its liveliest.

The streets would be packed with crowds, and there were Lunar New Year-themed performances at every square.

On each side of the roads were all kinds of stalls, and the city was full of people chattering and street side sellers hawking their wares.

It might be snowing, but it was unable to dampen the people's joyous spirits. Instead, it even felt poetic to stroll amid the falling snow.

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying held Luo Hongye’s hands and strolled in the streets, while Yue Qingyou followed behind, with Meng Niu, Cai Se, and Bai Yuan trailing in the back.

This holiday only happened annually, so they had to bring Luo Hongye to experience the festival.

Luo Hongye wore a new woolen sweat that Luo Ruying had knitted for her with a padded cotton coat outside. She looked petite and chubby.

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying held her small hand on each side as she happily stepped and jumped in the snow.

She kept glancing curiously around her, pointing inquisitively with questions from time to time.

Now, she had yet another question when she saw a toy at a roadside stall. Pointing at a rattle drum, she asked, “Mommy, Daddy, what is that?”

“That's a rattle drum. If you like it, I will buy it for you,” Ning Yechen said with a smile.

“Excuse me, how much for the rattle drum… Huh?”

When Ning Yechen stood in front of the stall to buy the rattle drum, the stall owner raised his head, immediately shocking Ning Yechen.

Even though the man was in disguise, his burly physique and savage aura were impossible to conceal. Ning Yechen recognized him at a glance!

It was the 6th Demon God and leader of the 6th Legion of the Demon Realm, Kuang Yin!

What was he doing here?

Also, why was he running a street side stall selling toys?

It did not match his look at all!

He was the 6th Demon God of the Demon Realm!

He had a burly body and looked like a bull, but he was holding all kinds of toys. It was completely inconsistent with his image.

Kuang Yin looked at Ning Yechen, and a grin appeared on his savage face as he greeted, “Sir, how may I help you?”

Ning Yechen went speechless.

He silently stared at Kuang Yin without answering.

His subordinate and the 6th Demon God of the Demon Realm was actually selling toys at a street side stall.

He was speechless and did not know where to start.

This must have been what Yue Qingyou meant when she had said their people had covertly entered the city!

She could have at least given him a more suitable disguise!

Ning Yechen could not resist turning to look at Yue Qingyou speechlessly.

She looked like a refined maid and acted as though she had no part in this.

“Uncle, I want this,” Luo Hongye said sweetly to Kuang Yin, standing on tiptoes and pointing at the rattle drum.

“Uh-huh. You are such an adorable princess! Consider this a memento from me. You can have it for free.”

The moment Kuang Yin saw Luo Hongye, his heart melted, and he handed the rattle drum to her with a doting expression.

As he reached his hand out, he tried to be as careful and genial as possible, afraid of scaring Luo Hongye.

It was an immense honor for him that the princess of the Demon Realm liked the rattle drum!

“And this windmill… and this… and this… These are all for you, Princess.” Kuang Yin felt a rattle drum was not enough, so he handed more toys to Luo Hongye.

As long as Luo Hongye was happy, she could take everything!

This was what he wished for!

“But I can’t take so many…” Luo Hongye’s hands were stuffed with so many toys that she was unable to hold anymore.

“That's enough. Yeye, let's go on.” Ning Yechen was genuinely worried that Kuang Yin might give everything on the stall and hurriedly pulled Luo Hongye and left.

As they left, Luo Hongye turned back and smiled adorably at Kuang Yin. “Thank you, Uncle~”

Oh yes!

The little princess is adorable!

The princess actually thanked me!

This was his greatest glory ever since he became a Demon God!

Kuang Yin waved goodbye to Luo Hongye with a gentle expression.

At the side, more people came to the stall with their children and asked, “I hear you’re giving toys for free. Is that true?”

“Huh? Who says they’re free? Are you trying to steal my toys? Two hundred taels each! If you can't pay, then leave!” Kuang Yin’s expression immediately changed and looked violent.

If he did not have to stay in disguise for the Demon Lord and princess, he could not be bothered with these weaklings!

The family was so startled that they nearly fell to the ground, and their child was scared to tears.

His attitude had changed 180 degrees.

He was completely different.

Also, even if the toys were not free, it was unreasonable to sell them at 200 taels each!

He was no different from being a con man!

The other people who came over were scared away.

Meanwhile, after leaving Kuang Yin’s stall, Luo Ruying asked Ning Yechen doubtfully, “Did you find the stall owner weird?”

“Weird? Not at all.” Ning Yechen did his best to cover it up.

To be honest, he found it weird as well.

Luo Ruying looked thoughtful.

Judging from the stall owner's build, he was a cultivator.

He was selling toys in the market. It was strange no matter how she thought about it.

Also, she was unable to see his level of cultivation!

This meant that his cultivation was above hers!

There were really a lot of powerful cultivators hiding in plain sight in the Mortal Realm. Even a street side toy stall owner had such a high level of cultivation.

Luo Ruying thought that Kuang Yin probably liked to make and sell toys in his free time.

After all, cultivators could have unusual hobbies.

Maybe he just wanted to experience life in the Mortal Realm.

It was just like how she and other cultivators were strolling in the streets.

However, one thing about Kuang Yin left Luo Ruying puzzled.

He seemed a little too enthusiastic about Luo Hongye!

He liked her so much that Luo Ruying felt cautious.

She even suspected that Kuang Yin was an evil cultivator who wanted to traffic children.

No matter what, she had to be careful.

Since they had already left, Luo Ruying stopped thinking about it and continued strolling the streets, holding Luo Hongye’s hand with Ning Yechen, enjoying the festive atmosphere.

Before long, the delicious scent of grilled meat hooked Luo Hongye’s attention.

Luo Hongye sniffed in the direction of the scent and looked over. She saw a barbeque meat stall surrounded by a long queue.

She stared straight with her mouth wide open and almost drooling.

Ning Yechen could tell that his daughter wanted to eat this.
