Hello, everyone. Sorry for the late releases. The translator has had a bit of an issue.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuan brought Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying through an unusual looking street.
On both sides of the street were all kinds of food, and the aromas wafted throughout the street.
The street was full of people, with mothers and children especially prominent.
“This is the most popular food street in Nanli City. In addition to local delights, there’s also food from other countries!” Qi Yuan introduced the place while walking ahead.
Initially, she thought a powerful cultivator like Luo Ruying would not show interest in local food.
But when they arrived at the food street, Luo Ruying slowed down.
Luo Ruying had grown up in the Heavenly Realm, so she had grown up eating heavenly fruits and drinking spirit water without ever encountering food from the Mortal Realm.
Those from the Heavenly Realm did not need food like mortals. They simply needed to absorb spiritual energy from their surroundings as sustenance.
The same applied to children born in the Heavenly Realm. All they needed was heavenly fruits and spirit water.
In Luo Ruying’s arms, Luo Hongye kept looking around curiously until drool nearly flowed from her mouth.
When they passed by a stall selling candied fruit, Luo Hongye had her eyes glued on them and subconsciously opened her mouth wide.
Seeing this, Ning Yechen smiled dotingly. He walked over to the stall and raised two fingers. “I’d like two sticks.”
“Right away!” The stall owner responded happily, handed two sticks of candied fruit to Ning Yechen, and praised, “Sir, you are so lucky. You married a beautiful wife and have an adorable child.”
“I know! I also think I’m very lucky to have such a gorgeous wife and cute daughter.” Ning Yechen was overjoyed by the praise and raised his nose proudly. In his joy, he decided to buy up everything the stall owner was selling.
Standing behind Ning Yuchen, Luo Ruying blushed.
A stall owner simply praised them, but he was so happy that he bought everything at his stall.
“Come on, try it.” Ning Yechen, holding many sticks of candied fruit, handed one to Luo Hongye.
The candied fruit was made of cut up fruit with sugar glaze coated on the outside and served on a stick.
Luo Hongye clearly wanted the candied fruit, but she turned to look at Luo Ruying and asked timidly, “Mom, can I have some?”
“Your father bought it for you. Go ahead.” Luo Ruying could naturally tell Luo Hongye wanted the candied fruit. She nodded and smiled dotingly.
Before, she had been unable to give her daughter enough love. Now, it was her greatest wish for her daughter to lead a peaceful and happy life.
Luo Hongye immediately reached out her chubby hands, took the candied fruit from Ning Yechen, and stuck it in her mouth.
Out of concern that the bamboo stick might prick Luo Hongye’s mouth, Luo Ruying took it from her, removed the candied fruit from the stick, and fed it into Luo Hongye's mouth.
With her cheeks puffed, Luo Hongye beamed brightly.
As Luo Ruying fed Luo Hongye, a stick of candied fruit appeared in front of her mouth.
Luo Ruying looked up and saw Ning Yechen holding the stick of candied fruit to her mouth.
His handsome face was smiling at her. “Dear, this is for you.”
“For me?” Luo Ruying felt a little shy.
She was an Empress of the Heavenly Realm. It seemed inappropriate for someone of her status to eat snacks from the Mortal Realm.
Moreover, Ning Yechen wanted to feed her.
Under Ning Yechen’s expectant gaze, Luo Ruying brushed aside the strands of hair hanging down beside her face, opened her mouth slightly, and ate the fruit, her face blushing.
In any case, no one here knew her true identity, so it was fine to be willful.
Seeing Luo Ruying’s elegant movements and the shy look on her face, Ning Yechen fell into a daze and blurted, “Dear, you’re beautiful when you're eating.”
“Ahem, ahem. What are you saying?” Luo Ruying choked a couple of times before glaring at Ning Yechen.
The man’s unexpected words left her embarrassed.
“It's true. If you don’t believe me, ask Yeye.“ Ning Yechen smiled and turned to look at Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying’s arms. “Yeye, doesn’t your mother look beautiful when she's eating?”
“Uh-huh. Mommy is beautiful.” Luo Hongye happily raised both hands while chewing on the food.
Because there were many people around them, Luo Ruying felt even shyer and glared at Ning Yechen with blushing cheeks.
The father and daughter’s teasing her made her feel even more embarrassed.
Watching from the side, Qi Yuan felt envy and awkwardness. They’re so close.
Luo Ruying finally took notice of Qi Yuan. She awkwardly handed her the stick of candied fruit in her hand and asked, “Would you like some?”
“No thank you, Big Sister Luo.” Qi Yuan waved her hand to turn her down. She smiled and looked at Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying’s arms. “Yeye, if you like to eat, I know lots of good places. Shall I get you some?”
She had never met a more adorable, exquisite, and well-behaved child as Luo Hongye.
From the moment she laid eyes on Luo Hongye, she couldn’t help liking her.
Luo Hongye was only close to Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying and was a little afraid of strangers.
When Qi Yuan spoke to Luo Ruying, she instinctively shrank into her mother's arms. But the moment she heard about good food, she sneaked a look at Qi Yuan and asked softly, “R-really?”
Looking at the adorable Luo Hongye, Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “Of course! I never lie to cute children!”
Luo Hongye was finally willing to talk to her!
Luo Hongye was beyond adorable. She really wanted to squeeze her cute, chubby cheeks!
She really wanted to hold her and kiss her!
Standing at the side, Ning Yechen watched Qi Yuan’s excited reaction and suddenly felt that he should be wary of this lass.
She might just abduct his daughter at any time.
Luo Hongye became tempted by Qi Yuan’s vivid descriptions of the delicious food and eventually caved in.
Luo Ruying held Luo Hongye as they walked and ate on the street.
The moment Luo Hongye took interest in anything, Ning Yechen would buy them for her without hesitation.
Qi Yuan also took the initiative to buy all kinds of snacks and fed them to Luo Hongye.
Candied hawthorn, glutinous rice cake, sesame seed cake, jellied tofu, steamed buns…
Luo Hongye tried nearly all the food available on the street.
Qi Yuan and Luo Hongye’s relationship also improved.
After going through most of the street, they sat down at a stone bench.
They were not tired. But because they were holding so much food, they planned to sit down and let Luo Hongye enjoy them.
Luo Hongye was sitting in Luo Ruying's arms with a bun larger than her face, biting down on it with great satisfaction.
Luo Ruying looked at Luo Hongye helplessly and took out a handkerchief to wipe the mess on her face.
Suddenly, a commotion sounded from the distance, and alarm bells rang throughout the city.
The guards in the city swiftly ran toward the distance.
Some people who ran over gasping explained the situation.
Just a moment ago, three mysterious people attacked Jiang Li and his group!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Li and his group were slaughtered!
Jiang Li seemed to be the sole survivor!
