Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 85
He’s Truly Too Kind…

“Hmm…”

“I can grant you a quick death, but not him!”

Seeing that Jiang Zhen seemed to have some backbone, Ning Yechen mercifully allowed him a swift end, tossing a dagger at his feet.

As for Jiang Li, he wouldn’t let him off so easily!

From the moment Jiang Li had set his sights on Luo Ruying, he was destined not to die a painless death!

Jiang Zhen took one last look at Jiang Li, who was still writhing and screaming in agony. He slowly picked up the dagger from the ground and, without hesitation, plunged it into his own chest!

All of this was Jiang Li’s fault. At this point, it was all his own doing…

As a father, he had undoubtedly failed, but he had done everything he could for his son.

Jiang Zhen’s blade pierced his heart, and he quickly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Seeing this, Jiang Li was even more terrified and desperately begged for mercy.

“Please, let me go!”

“I’ll give you the entire Jiang family!”

“I don’t want anything! Just spare my life!”

Ning Yechen looked at Jiang Li with disdain and indifference.

Does he even understand what is happening?

He wasn’t destroying the Jiang family for their possessions.

The Jiang family’s wealth was so insignificant that he wouldn’t even bother with it in his Demon Palace.

What he wanted was for Jiang Li to pay the price for offending him!

Ning Yechen slowly raised his hand, preparing to compress Jiang Li into a pancake bit by bit.

Just as he started, Jiang Li let out a series of blood-curdling screams and cries.

To Ning Yechen’s surprise, Yue Qingyou suddenly spoke up to stop him.

“Demon Lord, may I request that you spare his life?”

“Hmm? Why?”

Ning Yechen stopped compressing Jiang Li and turned his head, puzzled.

In his impression, Yue Qingyou wasn’t someone who would show kindness or compassion towards ants…

In her eyes, most beings in the Six Realms were considered mere ants…

In the entire Demon Realm, he considered himself to be the most merciful and straightforward one when it came to taking action.

Compared to his other subordinates with their various peculiar hobbies…

Yue Qingyou’s cold, beautiful eyes gazed at Jiang Li, a terrifying smile curving her lips. She explained calmly.

“Demon Lord, this person not only offended you but also disrespected Madam. Killing him so easily would be too lenient a punishment.”

“How about you allow me to take him to the Demon Realm’s Execution Palace?”

The Demon Realm’s Execution Palace, as the name suggested, was filled with specialized personnel responsible for executions and interrogations.

Their methods of execution were exceptionally cruel and horrifying, reaching an unprecedented level of terror!

Even people from the Heavenly Realm would tremble at the mere mention of the Demon Realm’s Execution Palace!

Many would rather die, their bodies and souls annihilated, than be captured by the Demon Realm and taken to the Execution Palace for interrogation.

Because they had countless ways to make one wish for death, all while ensuring they wouldn’t die!

The screams of agony and pleas for death never ceased within the Execution Palace!

Those who were taken there never came out again.

Even the most strong-willed individuals, once sent in, would beg to confess everything the very next day.

It was a place that even Ning Yechen felt nauseous just by taking a look inside…

The Demon Realm’s Execution Palace had been established in ancient times and had been maintained by successive Demon Lords throughout the ages.

Ning Yechen had proposed abolishing the Execution Palace several times, but it faced strong opposition from many Demon Gods and subordinates.

They unanimously believed that the existence of the Demon Realm’s Execution Palace could better deter those with ill intentions within the Demon Realm and ensure that those who offended the Demon Lord received the punishment they deserved…

Due to the inherent chaos within the Demon Realm, and the fact that he had only recently ascended to the position of Demon Lord at the time, he indeed needed to intimidate the other Demon Kings who weren’t entirely submissive.

Hence, the Execution Palace had been preserved.

Until he no longer wanted to rule and left the Demon Realm, he hadn’t paid any attention to the Execution Palace.

If Yue Qingyou hadn’t mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten about it…

Ning Yechen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Yue Qingyou’s suggestion.

“Alright, I’ll leave him to you.”

“Yes!”

“I guarantee you won’t be disappointed, Demon Lord!”

“Should I report the execution progress and results to you regularly?”

Yue Qingyou’s face lit up with joy as she responded happily.

In her mind, anyone who offended the Demon Lord and Madam deserved to be sent to the Demon Realm’s Execution Palace!

Even she couldn’t compare to the methods of those in the Execution Palace!

She had learned many of her own techniques from them.

Hearing that Yue Qingyou wanted to report the execution process and results to him, Ning Yechen quickly waved his hands in refusal.

“That won’t be necessary…”

He was afraid he would lose his appetite just by hearing about it…

“Yes, I understand.”

Yue Qingyou slowly walked towards Jiang Li and instructed the Shadow Guards beside her.

“Take him to the Demon Realm’s Execution Palace and tell the Palace Master, Tian Xing, that this ant has offended the Demon Lord and Madam. He should know what to do.”

“Remember to tell him that I want him to stay alive!”

“If he accidentally dies, the next one to be executed will be him!”

“Yes!”

Two Shadow Guards immediately dragged Jiang Li and stepped into the distorted void they had torn open.

“Where… Where are you taking me?!”

“Let… let go…!”

Jiang Li struggled in fear, but in the hands of the Shadow Guards, he was like a helpless chick, being carried away and disappearing into the void…

A brand new and thrilling life awaited him…

With the Jiang family matter settled, Ning Yechen turned to leave, eager to return home and snuggle up with his wife.

Before leaving, he saw Song Yan lying on the ground, convulsing, her eyes vacant, her expression numb and dazed.

At that moment, Song Yan had just gone through another round of the agonizing peeling process. Her eyes met Ning Yechen’s, pleading desperately, praying for a quick death…

Ning Yechen immediately knew that Yue Qingyou must have used her ocular technique again, subjecting Song Yan to an unbearable cycle of torment.

“Who is she?”

“Demon Lord, her name is Song Yan, the Sect Leader of the Sacred Lotus Sect. She’s the one who attempted to harm Madam tonight and the Jiang family’s backing.”

“I’ve already had my people eliminate all the ants in the city and its outskirts.”

Yue Qingyou replied calmly.

Ning Yechen hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, instantly reducing Song Yan on the ground to nothingness.

It was a swift and merciful end for her.

If it were in the past, he might not have let Song Yan off so easily.

But after spending these days with Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye, he had shown mercy and granted Song Yan a quick death.

After all, he didn’t want his precious daughter and wife to think he was too cruel…

Sigh, he is truly too kind…

Yue Qingyou didn’t expect Ning Yechen to end Song Yan’s life directly, but she respected any decision the Demon Lord made. She even complimented him with flattery,

“As expected of the Demon Lord, your benevolence is unparalleled in the entire Demon Realm~”

“Alright, alright…”

“You take care of cleaning up everything afterward. I don’t want any major commotion tomorrow.”

Ning Yechen waved his hand casually and disappeared in a flash, eager to return.

Yue Qingyou stayed behind to direct everyone in cleaning up all traces.

Just then, another voice transmission arrived.

“Left Guardian, someone else is approaching!”
