Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 406 : So That Is What You Meant, Demon Lord!

Chapter 406 - So That Is What You Meant, Demon Lord!

"Tianshen, how have you felt in the Demon Realm during this time…?"

Ning Yechen looked at Ye Tianshen and asked curiously.

"Replying to Demon Lord, during the time you were away, this subordinate did not slack off in the slightest!"

"There were no abnormalities within the Demon Realm, and this subordinate has also strengthened the guard and patrols in the Evernight Sovereign City!"

"I guarantee absolute safety!"

Ye Tianshen was slightly stunned, then immediately bowed and responded without hesitation.

Demon Lord generally never asked him about Demon Realm affairs.

To actively ask him about Demon Realm matters the moment he returned today?

Could it be that Demon Lord no longer trusts him…?!

Could it be that because of the Thousand Demon Clan incident before, Demon Lord is completely disappointed in him?!

Thinking of this, Ye Tianshen couldn't help but feel uneasy, showing fear and nervousness on his face.

As the commander specifically responsible for the safety of the Evernight Sovereign City, to think he had lost Demon Lord's trust…!

This was simply more unbearable than killing him!

However, in fact, Ning Yechen didn't care at all about the condition and safety of the Demon Realm during this time.

With Ye Tianshen and the others there, he was actually very at ease.

All he was asking about was how it felt to accompany Luo Ruxin in the Demon Realm during this time…

Looking at Ye Tianshen, whose face was suddenly full of terror and nervousness, Ning Yechen also looked blank.

He only asked a simple question; was there a need to be so stressed?

"This Lord is not asking about the affairs of the Demon Realm, but about your affairs."

"How was… your feeling in the Demon Realm during this time?"

Ning Yechen felt that Ye Tianshen had misunderstood his meaning, so he spoke again to explain.

"This subordinate's affairs…?"

Hearing this, Ye Tianshen also showed a blank and confused expression.

What exactly does Demon Lord mean…

Why is he suddenly caring about my affairs…

What affairs could I have in the Demon Realm?

Or is Demon Lord hinting at something?

Ye Tianshen pondered over and over, his brain spinning fast, but he just couldn't guess the deep meaning in Demon Lord's words.

After a moment of silence, Ye Tianshen looked grave and replied in all seriousness:

"Thank you for your concern, Demon Lord."

"This subordinate has been well in the Demon Realm during this time, constantly observing the movements of the Demon Realm and maintaining the peace of the Evernight Sovereign City!"

"At the same time, I haven't forgotten to cultivate hard and supervise the guards' training!"

"Ready for your inspection, Demon Lord!"

Ning Yechen: "..."

Luo Ruying: "..."

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying looked at Ye Tianshen with expressions of not knowing what to say.

This guy still completely failed to grasp his meaning…

It seems he has to be a bit more direct!

"Ahem…"

"Thank you for your hard work..."

"But what this Lord meant is, how did it feel to accompany Ruxin during this time…?"

Ning Yechen coughed twice and asked directly.

He finally understood that with a blockhead like Ye Tianshen, one couldn't be too subtle!

Otherwise, he simply wouldn't understand.

Luo Ruying was also waiting expectantly for Ye Tianshen's answer.

"So that is what you meant, Demon Lord!"

Ye Tianshen suddenly realized.

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying felt a surge of joy in their hearts.

This guy, Ye Tianshen, finally understood his meaning!

They saw Ye Tianshen look respectful, place his hand over his chest, and reply solemnly as if making a report: 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Replying to Demon Lord, regarding the mission Madam entrusted to this subordinate to accompany the Second Miss, this subordinate kept it firmly in mind! I dared not slack off in the slightest!"

"This subordinate accompanied the Second Miss at all times, protecting her safety!"

"Whatever the Second Miss was interested in, this subordinate also asked specialists to answer and explain!"

"I guaranteed that the Second Miss understood completely!"

After speaking, Ye Tianshen looked up at Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying with a face full of pride.

Personally, he believed he had completed the mission and task entrusted to him by the Madam perfectly!

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying looked at each other, and finally sighed deeply in helplessness.

No good…

Ye Tianshen didn't get their meaning at all…

This guy still just treated Luo Ruying's request to take care of Luo Ruxin as a mission and a task.

Even given another hundred years, this blockhead probably wouldn't get a clue…

However, when Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying looked at Luo Ruxin beside Ye Tianshen and saw her slightly blushing, obedient appearance, they couldn't help but be greatly amazed.

Although Ye Tianshen was clueless and hadn't noticed Luo Ruxin's feelings at all, it seemed Luo Ruxin herself didn't mind very much…?

Or perhaps, she actually hadn't realized the meaning behind Ye Tianshen's treatment of her either…?

Can't understand it…

Ning Yechen shook his head, patted Ye Tianshen on the shoulder meaningfully, and then led Luo Ruying flying towards the Demon God Palace.

Ye Tianshen stood dazed in place, repeatedly pondering the meaning of Ning Yechen patting his shoulder just now.

Was Demon Lord praising him, telling him to keep up the good work later…?

……

Returning to the Demon God Palace, Ning Yechen looked out and saw red silk hanging from the beams and lanterns held high.

The huge Demon God Palace had a new look, decorated in luxurious bright red, looking radiant with joy.

Chi Huan and the others were distributed around the Demon God Palace, directing the busy guards and attendants back and forth.

Ning Yechen looked confused and led Luo Ruying down into the palace.

"Demon Lord! Madam! You have returned!"

Upon seeing Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying return, Chi Huan and the others hurriedly came forward to welcome them.

"What are you all doing?"

Ning Yechen looked at the crowd busily decorating before him and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Demon Lord, have you forgotten?"

"In a short while, it will be the anniversary of you becoming the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm!"

"Lord Left Guardian has already instructed us in advance to make preparations early."

Chi Huan replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Ning Yechen suddenly realized.

Only then did he remember that there indeed seemed to be such a holiday in the Demon Realm...

Back when he became the Demon Lord, Yue Qingyou had immediately announced that day as the great Demon Lord Anniversary Celebration of the Demon Realm.

On every anniversary, the whole realm celebrates together!

It had now become the holiday the people of the Demon Realm looked forward to the most.

Having lived in seclusion for over a hundred years, he had long since forgotten this holiday completely...

It was fortunate that Yue Qingyou and the others remembered it so clearly.

"Demon Lord, you were not in the Demon Realm for the past hundred-plus years."

"This anniversary celebration must inevitably be a little more grand!"

Yue Qingyou stepped forward and spoke to Ning Yechen with a solemn and serious expression.

Generally, when Yue Qingyou revealed this kind of expression, it meant she had made up her mind. Even if he objected, she would definitely argue on the basis of reason until he agreed...

"Alright..."

"Then I leave everything entirely to you."

Ning Yechen knew he definitely couldn't persuade Yue Qingyou. Moreover, everything had already been arranged in an orderly fashion, and he couldn't very well refuse everyone's good intentions, so he had to agree.

Hearing Ning Yechen assent and entrust this matter to them, Chi Huan hurriedly and solemnly accepted:

"Leave everything to us, Demon Lord!"

The Demon Lord's anniversary celebration after such a long time naturally had to be held grandly!
