Chapter 124 - With Your Husband Here, Our Child Will Be Fine!
Earlier That Day
Ning Yechen, who was resting his head on Luo Ruying's lap, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the sky above Nanli Academy.
A massive surge of celestial and demonic energy, intertwined, was permeating the heavens!
Luo Ruying also sensed the demonic aura. Seeing that it was coming from the direction of Nanli Academy, she stood up anxiously, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.
"Husband, wait here. I'll go check it out!"
Leaving those words behind, Luo Ruying immediately transformed into a divine rainbow and flew towards Nanli Academy.
Ning Yechen also wanted to rush over and investigate, but to avoid arousing suspicion, he had to temporarily stay at home.
Not long after, Luo Ruying descended from the sky, her expression panicked, carrying Luo Hongye in her arms.
Luo Hongye was unconscious, her little face pale as a sheet, and her breathing was unstable!
Ning Yechen's face turned pale with shock, and he rushed forward to check on her.
"Wife, what happened to Ye Ye?!"
"I don't know...!"
"I need to examine her more closely!"
Luo Ruying's expression was anxious and flustered. She quickly carried Luo Hongye back to the bedroom, gently placing her on the bed and checking her pulse.
Luo Hongye's meridians were in chaos, with celestial and demonic energy coursing through her body. The two forces were like fire and water, constantly clashing and colliding!
Fortunately, it seemed that someone had protected Luo Hongye's meridians beforehand; otherwise, her delicate body might have already been torn apart by these two immense forces!
The celestial energy within Luo Hongye undoubtedly came from her inherited bloodline talent, but where did the demonic energy come from...?
Demonic energy, like celestial energy, was a type of spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Both were refined forms of ordinary spiritual energy, containing far purer power.
However, demonic energy primarily originated from the Demon Realm. The amount of demonic energy present in the mortal realm was minuscule, even rarer than celestial energy.
Converting ordinary spiritual energy into demonic energy is also an extremely difficult task.
Generally, only those from the Demon Realm or cultivators of demonic paths can attempt to absorb demonic energy.
According to the descriptions of the other children in the school, when Su Yi had them try practicing breathing and spirit-gathering, the celestial and demonic energy in the surroundings suddenly started surging into Luo Hongye's body...
Luo Ruying couldn't understand.
How could a simple breathing and spirit-gathering exercise lead to the absorption of demonic energy...?
Even with her bloodline talent, Luo Hongye should have only absorbed celestial spiritual energy...
What was even stranger was that, for ordinary cultivators, demonic energy was like a slow-acting poison, gradually eroding the body and even the mind.
However, the demonic energy within Luo Hongye showed no signs of harming her body; in fact, their affinity was exceptionally strong...!
The turmoil within her body was entirely due to the incompatibility between the celestial and demonic energy, as if they were fighting for control.
This was why Luo Hongye's face was contorted in pain, her complexion pale, her life hanging in the balance!
Luo Ruying tried to infuse her own spiritual energy into Luo Hongye's body, attempting to expel the accumulated demonic energy.
However, this process required her utmost concentration and precise control of her spiritual energy. The slightest mistake could cause irreversible damage to Luo Hongye's body!
The moment Luo Ruying's spiritual energy entered Luo Hongye's body, the demonic energy within seemed to sense something and started churning and agitating!
"Mmm...!"
Luo Hongye's little face scrunched up in pain, and she let out a whimpering moan...!
Luo Ruying was startled and immediately withdrew her spiritual energy, not daring to try again.
Luo Hongye's small and delicate body couldn't withstand any further disturbance!
But now, apart from this method, she couldn't think of any other way...
Luo Ruying was burning with anxiety, yet she could only helplessly sit by the bed, accompanying Luo Hongye.
"What should we do... Husband...?"
Luo Ruying turned her head to look at Ning Yechen, standing beside her. Her beautiful eyes were already filled with tears, her expression helpless.
Luo Hongye was her child, her own flesh and blood.
She had endured ten difficult years in the Heavenly Realm, and just when their peaceful and happy life had begun, they encountered such a change...
And she was powerless...
Luo Ruying's heart was filled with self-blame and regret.
Seeing Luo Ruying, once the Empress of the Heavenly Realm, looking so vulnerable and helpless in front of him, Ning Yechen couldn't help but feel heartache. He embraced her, letting her lean her cheek against his chest, and comforted her softly,
"Wife, it's okay..."
"Have you forgotten that your husband is also somewhat skilled in medicine?"
"With your husband here, our child will be fine!"
Hearing Ning Yechen's words, Luo Ruying's anxious heart calmed down a bit. She looked at him with her beautiful eyes and nodded, then stood up to make room.
At Nanli Academy, Xia Guo had also tried to remove the demonic energy from Luo Hongye's body, but he had failed.
Now, their last hope rested on Ning Yechen...
Ning Yechen sat by the bed, reached out to take Luo Hongye's pulse, and slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, he frowned slightly.
Luo Hongye's body had a strong affinity for both celestial and demonic energy, and neither was willing to yield.
The best solution was to remove one of the two energies from her body.
Although he could do it without harming Luo Hongye, it was only a temporary solution and wouldn't completely solve the problem.
If Luo Hongye attempts to breathe and gather spiritual energy again, both celestial and demonic energy will once again surge into her body...
If we want to avoid such a situation, we can only give up the path of cultivation in this life...
But the child said that night that she wanted to become a powerful cultivator to protect him and Luo Ruying. How could he let that happen!
Ning Yechen secretly and slowly calmed the chaotic spiritual energy within Luo Hongye, gradually stabilizing her breathing.
When Ning Yechen withdrew his hand and opened his eyes, Luo Ruying, who had been waiting anxiously beside him, immediately asked,
"Husband, how is she...?"
"Don't worry, my wife. Ye Ye is no longer in danger."
Ning Yechen comforted her with a gentle smile.
"Really?!"
Luo Ruying couldn't believe it and quickly checked Luo Hongye's pulse again.
Just as Ning Yechen had said, Luo Hongye's pulse was much more stable than before, no longer chaotically colliding within her body.
However, the celestial and demonic energy still remained within her. It could only be said that her life was no longer in immediate danger.
But even this was remarkable.
How did he manage to do it?
She had been standing right beside Ning Yechen, and he had simply taken Luo Hongye's pulse. Yet, the spiritual energy within her body had miraculously stabilized...
This was something even she and Xia Guo couldn't achieve...
Luo Ruying was filled with questions, but at this moment, her heart was mostly filled with relief and joy. She tightly held Luo Hongye's small hand, hoping she would wake up soon.
Ning Yechen smiled faintly and slowly left the room.
Yue Qingyou was already waiting outside.
Ning Yechen's expression turned cold, his brows furrowed slightly. He looked at Yue Qingyou and asked,
"Tell me, what exactly happened?”
