Demon King's Pampered Wife

"You can leave now …" Zi Ling patted her dress, which had creased from the fight, and lowered her head, appearing very calm.

Chu Feng stood where he was and looked at her for a long time. Finally, his eyebrows creased deeper and deeper. The Ye Ling in front of him was different from any other girl he knew. The corners of his eyes were filled with an unfathomable mysteriousness and indifference.

Interesting! He suddenly relaxed his brows and smiled faintly, "I will report the matter of the engagement to the family, but when it can be resolved will depend on how you handle it in the Ye family. Farewell!" Seeing the anger slowly crawling up Zi Ling's face, Chu Feng cleanly pulled Chu Jun down the mountain.

A flame condensed in Zi Ling's hand and shot at the place where Chu Feng was just standing. How dare that fellow deceive her!

Actually, she misunderstood Chu Feng. The matter of the marriage involved two of the Five Great Families and it was not something that the Chu Family could dissolve just because they said so. Although the matter of the marriage was a bit unsightly, at least right now, it seemed that Chu Feng did not want to marry him. A proud person like him would certainly not marry a person that was forced onto him, so he still had to rely on Chu Feng to settle the matter.

Thinking of this, Zi Ling put this matter to rest. She lifted her eyes to see the thick white fog on the cliff and the black cloud gradually spreading to the horizon. Without further delay, she turned around and gracefully and nimbly stepped onto the clean ground. She crossed the obstacles and headed down the mountain path.

The Mysterious God Sect was indeed a big human sect. When she mentioned to the sect master that she needed a large amount of medicinal herbs to cultivate, Huo Zhen immediately gave her hundreds of stalks of spiritual herbs of high quality.

In this world, if a profound practitioner wanted to deepen their profound strength, not only would they have to continuously refine their own profound strength, they would also have to rely on the assistance of these medicinal herbs. Zi Ling had also secretly observed their alchemy methods. It was completely different from refining pills. They extracted the juice with metal tubes and sealed it in transparent jars, drinking it directly whenever they needed it. On the other hand, refining pills required one to undergo high temperatures in order to disperse the pill poison as much as possible and absorb the spiritual energy within one's body. Only then would one be able to purify the pill.

She had also been given a few batches of potions and tried drinking one. Comparing the two, the potions they extracted contained a large amount of impurities, which was of no use to her cultivation and was of little use to her.

But the distribution of medicinal ingredients was limited, and as she was about to break into the Foundation Establishment Stage, she needed a few to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

While he was thinking, he was walking slowly. Unknowingly, he had already returned to his own small courtyard.

Just as she was about to cross the threshold with light steps, her crescent-like eyebrows suddenly tightened. She suddenly turned her head to look at a corner of the courtyard. At the same time, an icy-blue water arrow swiftly pierced through the air.

"Miss, it's me!" A green figure rolled awkwardly on the ground, barely dodging the icy-blue water arrow.

After dodging the water arrow, the green figure neatly stood up with her black hair tied up in a ponytail. At this moment, there was some leaf dust on her head, making her look extremely pathetic.

Zi Ling looked at the incoming person. With an oval face and big, round eyes, she stared at him without blinking.

Zi Ling's face remained impassive as she walked past her towards the door, "Come in, Zhu'er."

Hearing this, Zhu'er giggled and chased after Zi Ling, muttering something, "Miss, they all said that you are already dead. I don't believe that. Zhu'er knows that you have always been blessed with great fortune."

In a short distance, Zi Ling had already completely dissected Zhu Er from Ye Ling's memories. Zhu Er, a servant of the Ye Clan, but her true identity was a retainer left behind for her daughter by Ye Ling's mother. The two of them had grown up together, and Pearl was very weird, without a care in the world. Ye Ling trusted her even more than his own father.

"How did you know I was here?" Zi Ling stretched out her hand and shot a fireball at the candle, lighting up the entire room.

As soon as Pearl entered, she leaned against the chair and poured water into her mouth in large gulps, gurgle gurgle gurgle... The sound was surprisingly loud in the quiet room.

After drinking enough, Pearl wiped her mouth in satisfaction, then raised her head to look at Zi Ling, "Miss, I am Zhu'er, what can be difficult for me in this world?"

"Oh? "Fine, then tell me, who exactly is it that took away my Xuan Core with Hong Rui?"

After Zi Ling said this, she saw that the heartless look on Zhu Er's face had disappeared. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I don't know about that yet, but I already know that it was Hong Rui and Ye Shan who harmed you. Miss, don't worry. Zhu'er will definitely work hard in cultivation to avenge you! " Pearl had forgotten that just now she saw the purple silk shooting out a fireball, and wholeheartedly wanted to avenge Ye Ling.

Thinking of this, it was rare for Zhu Er to be quiet for a while, her voice also became gentle, "Young miss, it doesn't matter if you don't have a mystical pill, it doesn't matter if you can't cultivate it, Zhu'er will protect you!"

While Zhu'er was speaking, Zi Ling had already found a chair and sat down.

Phew...

As soon as Zhu Er's voice fell, a flame appeared in Zi Ling's hands, and the scorching heat instantly evaporated the cold dew on their bodies.

Pearl opened her mouth in surprise, and pointed at Ye Ling without speaking for a long time.

Zi Ling smiled slightly and said, "I am naturally blessed. I will personally seek them for revenge in the future."

Pearl finally recovered from her shock, "Miss, are you alright?"

"Of course it's alright. I'll sit here properly," said Zi Ling as she raised her chin. "Tell me about yourself. Why are you looking for me here?"

Only then did Zhu'er remember the important matter. She told Zi Ling about Ye Shan's conversation with Hong Rui and her sister-in-law, as he had taken her in as a flute by the Xuan King of the Great Deer Country.

After a long time, Zi Ling could only lower her head and fiddle with her fingers without uttering a single word.

Zhu'er could not hold herself back, and after waiting for a while, she could not help but say, "Miss, since you have nothing to do, why don't we kill our way back and vent our anger?"

Zi Ling slowly raised her head and looked at the pitch-black sky through the window. "It is easy to release your breath. However, it will still take some time to capture all the people that have harmed me." She thirsted for revenge more than anyone, not only because of Ye Ling's hatred, but also because of her own hatred. However, she also knew that without absolute strength, revenge was just a dream.

Zhu'er looked at Zi Ling's side profile, her bright and clear eyes revealing a trace of doubt. "Miss seems to be a little different from before."

Zi Ling quickly turned her head back, "Zhu'er, does anyone know about you coming here?" Although Zhu'er was a retainer that Ye Ling'er's mother had left her, she had always been hiding in the shadows, protecting her without revealing her identity. That was why she was able to live well under the eyes of Hong Rui and Ye Shan.

"Don't worry Miss, I came out secretly. Before I came here, I took a detour, and I believe no one knows my true identity."

Zi Ling nodded. "That's good. Go back immediately and continue hiding in the Ye family. Help me find a person …" The sound of the purple silk slowly became softer.

Hearing this, Zhu'er's face turned slightly pale, and her large eyes revealed a rare trace of seriousness, "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely find this person."

"Just do your best to investigate. First, make sure you are safe." After Zi Ling finished giving instructions, she took out two bottles of pills and passed them to Zhu Er.

Pearl doubtfully swept a glance, and just as she was about to ask, she heard Zi Ling say: "Don't use any medicine in the future, use this to increase your profound strength."

Zhu Er's trust and loyalty towards Ye Ling was one hundred percent, so when she heard this, she didn't doubt it at all as she kept the pill in her bosom.

"It's getting late, you can go back first."

After seeing Pearl off, Zi Ling stood by the door for a long time without moving. Zhu'er was adopted by Ye Ling's mother since she was young, so she had 100% faith and loyalty towards Ye Ling. However, she was Zi Ling. After experiencing so much, she was unable to trust a stranger 100%, so she added an extra dose to Zhu Er's pill. If her loyalty was real, then he would definitely not mistreat her.

What she needed to do now was to increase her strength as soon as possible. During this period of time, her cultivation life was far too peaceful, so calm that she was numb to it. However, danger was everywhere, so she had to increase her strength as fast as possible.

Just as she was about to go into seclusion, Zhao Ting came with a mission issued by the Sect Leader of the Mysterious God Sect.

"Junior Sister, I was forced to disturb your cultivation." Zhao Ting was like a modest young master, he could make anyone feel refreshed at any time.

Although Zi Ling was not happy to be disturbed, thinking that she had to rely on the protection of the Divine Profound Gate, she suppressed her emotions and invited Zhao Ting to take a seat.

"What happened?" Zhao Ting didn't come here for no reason. Moreover, the expression on his face told Zi Ling that something big had happened.

Before Zhao Ting could say anything, he sighed, "Take a look for yourself." As he spoke, he handed a letter to Zi Ling.

Zi Ling's expression did not change. She extended her hand and opened the letter. With a sweep of her eyes, she understood what had happened.

"Master led us disciples to Qingfeng Town to find out the reason." Zhao Ting relayed Huo Zhen's order to Zi Ling.

Zi Ling pondered for a moment, then said, "Senior, since you're going to lead people, you're not lacking me. I'm at the most critical moment of my cultivation, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you."

The contents of the letter were not considered a big deal to Zi Ling, as only the disciples of the Divine Profound Sect had mysteriously disappeared for half a month in Qingfeng Town.

"Junior sister, while training in seclusion is important, training outside is equally important. This matter is very strange, not only for the sake of training oneself, but also for the sake of the survival of the other junior brothers and sisters."

Zhao Ting was filled with righteousness, but Zi Ling was unable to empathize with him. Just as she was about to reject the offer, she saw Zhao Ting take something out from his robes.

The instant she saw this item, even the calm Zi Ling's expression changed. Her gaze was fixated on Zhao Ting's palm.

"Senior Brother, where did you get this?"

Zhao Ting didn't expect Zi Ling to recognize the lustrous green item in his hand. He immediately handed it over to Zi Ling, "Look, you really recognize this item?"

Zi Ling's hands trembled slightly as she impatiently caught the item that Zhao Ting had brought to her side. In an instant, a familiar feeling surged through her limbs and veins.

This feeling could not be wrong!

Zhao Ting didn't notice the desire and shock in her downcast eyes. He only looked at her blankly for a while before speaking again, "Junior sister, do you know her?"

Of course I know him!

She slowly raised her head. The fluctuating emotions had already been calmed down by her words. "I do know him. Senior Brother, where did you get this thing?"
