Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 364 : My Husband Listens to Me, He Won’t Mind~

Chapter 364 - My Husband Listens to Me, He Won't Mind~

Beast Realm North, Tongjun City.

Tongjun City, also meaning the "City Leading to the Monarch," was the first great city in the northern Beast Realm and a necessary path to the Beast Emperor's Imperial Capital.

After the Southern Clan Alliance crossed the thousand-zhang deep abyss, they struck directly at Tongjun City. With almost no resistance, they breached the barrier outside the city effortlessly and occupied the capital.

From now on, this place would serve as the Southern Clan Alliance's stronghold in the northern Beast Realm for rest, recuperation, and rallying other northern clans to join them.

After entering Tongjun City with Luo Ruying and the others, Ning Yechen strolled leisurely through the streets. Hu Shan's group followed closely and respectfully behind.

Just then, a commotion from the street ahead caught their attention.

Ning Yechen followed the sound and saw several members of the southern clans kicking and punching a young girl who was lying on the ground, from time to time jabbing her heavily with the butts of their long spears.

"Damn you, still trying to frame us!"

"I almost fell for it!"

"If you've been infected with Woe Demon Poison, don't come out to solicit customers!"

"This must be a trap deliberately left by the northern clans to deceive us and get us killed!"

"Right! Just beat her to death!"

Just as the group was about to deliver a killing blow to the girl on the ground, Hu Shan's brows furrowed, and he immediately roared:

"Stop!"

"Who allowed you to do this!"

"Cl-Clan Chief Hu…!"

The men were startled to see Hu Shan arrive and hurriedly stopped.

"Didn't I say that after entering the city, you are not to lay a hand on anyone who is not holding a weapon!"

"Have you forgotten!"

Hu Shan walked before the men and reprimanded them furiously. For the members of the southern clans to violate his orders and attack a civilian made him feel extremely angry!

How was this behavior any different from those under the Dragon Emperor!

"S-Sorry, Clan Chief Hu!"

The men lowered their heads and explained with trepidation:

"Clan Chief Hu, w-we just suspected this woman was deliberately trying to frame us…"

"This woman is completely powerless in your hands, and you say she was trying to frame you?"

Hearing this, Hu Shan's brows locked tightly, his expression growing even more furious.

One man hurriedly stepped forward, drew close to Hu Shan, and whispered:

"It's true, Clan Chief Hu! Sh-She has signs of Woe Demon Poison on her…!”

"Woe Demon Poison…?!"

Hearing the name, Hu Shan's expression changed in shock. He looked down at the woman at his feet, his face full of disbelief.

He saw that on the arms of the weak, prostrate woman, there were black spots that were festering and oozing blood…!

Without a doubt, it was indeed the sign of being infected with Woe Demon Poison!

"Clan Chief Hu, what is Woe Demon Poison?"

Luo Ruying, hearing the conversation between Hu Shan and the man, walked forward curiously with Luo Hongye in her arms and asked.

"Lady Luo, Woe Demon Poison is the most terrifying demon poison in the Beast Realm!"

"Once infected, the body will slowly and painfully die as it gradually rots and festers!"

"And the most terrifying part is that this poison is extremely contagious!"

"As far as we know, as long as there is skin contact, even the slightest touch, one will immediately be infected!"

Hu Shan explained with a grave expression, looking at the woman at his feet. He now understood why those men had been so angry and had tried to kill this woman.

If they had had any contact with this woman and had been infected, it could be said that their days were numbered…

The beast-people in Tongjun City had offered little resistance, and they hadn't seen any sign of the other four great clans under the Dragon Emperor, yet a woman infected with Woe Demon Poison had been deliberately left in the city…

Could it be that they had deliberately left this woman to try and poison them all?

Hu Shan guessed with a puzzled and doubtful expression.

Generally, anyone infected with Woe Demon Poison would be unhesitatingly executed and cremated! This was to prevent the poison from spreading.

For an infected woman to be specially left in the city, it was hard not to think it was done on purpose…

"Clan Chief Hu, is there a cure for this Woe Demon Poison?"

Luo Ruying asked, a sense of pity rising in her heart as she looked at the dying woman below, whose arms were almost completely festering and oozing blood.

Hu Shan shook his head with regret.

"Regrettably, Lady Luo, to this day, there is no cure for this poison in the Beast Realm!"

"For anyone who contracts this poison, the only way is to end their suffering early…"

If he could save her, he would definitely try. But now, there was indeed no cure.

To this day, the number of beast-people who have died from Woe Demon Poison was already countless…

No one knew when this poison started, where it started, or why people became infected…

Many beast-people would inexplicably discover they were infected during their cultivation or even in their daily lives…

At this moment, Hu Shan was already hesitating whether to quickly end the suffering of the woman at his feet.

After all, the appearance of someone infected with Woe Demon Poison would inevitably cause panic! And as the commander of the Southern Clan Alliance, for the safety of everyone, he had to kill her…!

"I-It hurts... It hurts..."

Just as Hu Shan was hesitating, the woman lying on the ground slowly lifted her head, revealing a face full of mud and bloodstains, her expression incomparably desolate and pitiful.

The woman's appearance showed no difference from an ordinary person; she had not retained any features of the Beast Clan, as if she had deliberately hidden her clan's identity.

"Mommy, this big sister is so pitiful..."

Luo Hongye, nestled in Luo Ruying's arms, looked at the woman, her big, nimble eyes filled with pity and sympathy.

Luo Ruying also felt pity and asked Hu Shan:

"Clan Chief Hu, I am proficient in some of the celestial healing arts of the Heavenly Realm. May I try to treat her?"

"I will do my best not to let her come into contact with anyone else."

"Lady Luo, you absolutely must not!"

"Although we do not yet know if this Woe Demon Poison affects the Immortal Clan, we must guard against the possibility. We cannot let you take such a risk!"

Hu Shan hurriedly shook his head and refused, his terrified gaze falling upon Ning Yechen beside Luo Ruying.

If Luo Ruying were to be infected with the Woe Demon Poison, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences…

The Demon Lord might just annihilate all of them in a fit of rage…

Luo Ruying knew what Hu Shan was worried about. She took Ning Yechen's arm and said with assurance:

"Clan Chief Hu, rest assured. My husband listens to me; he won't mind~!"

"Even if something were to happen, I guarantee my husband will not take his anger out on you all."

"Right, Husband~?"

After speaking, Luo Ruying lifted her beautiful eyes to look at Ning Yechen, revealing a joyful and exquisitely beautiful smile. Even Luo Hongye in her arms stared at Ning Yechen with her big, cute, and nimble eyes, full of expectation.

Ning Yechen: "..."

Ning Yechen gave a speechless glance at the mother and daughter, finally let out a helpless sigh, and gave a slight nod to Hu Shan.

Although he was also very reluctant to let his wife take a risk, with both his wife and child acting like this, what else could he say…
