Demon King's Pampered Wife

Mouse? Or a giant mouse?

Chik chik …

A few rats surrounded him. Last time, when she didn't personally deal with the reptile, the purple silk had been brooding over it. She wanted to try out the results of her recent cultivation, but she didn't expect that these blind mice would come knocking on her door.

Ji...

The largest giant rat was the first to attack. It pounced forward, its mouth opening to reveal a few long, ghastly white teeth.

"Hmph …" Zi Ling let out a cold snort, and quickly left her original position. She exerted power in her palm and struck out at the anticipated location.

"Pa!" The giant rat was hit by a punch and fell to the ground. However, it did not seem to have received too much damage. It rolled on the ground and stood up. The gray fur on its body stood up like sharp arrows.

"Again!" Zi Ling crooked her finger.

The huge rat seemed to have some intelligence. It knew that the human in front of it was not simple, so it did not attack immediately. Instead, it moved, observing the purple silk while retreating.

Chik chik …

The huge rat retreated out of the encirclement and suddenly let out a series of hurried cries. In that instant, the ten or so mice surrounding Zi Ling simultaneously launched their attacks. They all opened their mouths, revealing their long, sharp white teeth as they bit towards her location.

Zi Ling did not panic. Her feet moved swiftly and her subordinates were not idle. She was quick to grasp the back of the rat's neck, and then she punched it hard.

"Pa …" "Pa …"

Within moments, the ten giant rats were thrown far away, raising a cloud of dust. These giant rats were clearly not as strong as the larger one. They were barely able to stand up after being hit by the purple silk.

She hadn't even used the Wind Setting Bead yet, so these giant rats were much easier to deal with than reptiles.

"Again …" Zi Ling raised her finger again.

Chik chik …

However, when she lowered her hand, all of the giant rats simultaneously turned around and fled.

Want to run... It's not that easy!

The Purple Silk suddenly increased its speed, and directly flew past those backward rats, targeting the largest one.

Ji...

The giant rat screamed painfully as it was caught by the soft fur on the back of its neck. With a tug of the purple silk, the rat was thrown onto the ground.

The other giant rats were scared and quickly escaped.

Zi Ling ruthlessly punched the giant rat a few times to make it behave before stepping on it, "From the looks of it, you seem to be their boss. I didn't expect you to be abandoned so easily!" As he spoke, he bent down and patted its head, "If you want to eat me, go back and cultivate for another 100 years!"

After he finished speaking, his eyes turned cold and he coalesced a wind blade in his hand, ready to cut the wolf's neck with unerring accuracy.

"No …" "Don't, kill, me." The strange tone made Zi Ling think it was an illusion.

She withdrew her hand and kicked the rat. "Are you talking?"

"Yes." The giant mouse answered in a slurred voice.

"It's actually a mouse that can only speak human. Interesting." Zi Ling rolled her eyes slightly, "Do you want to live?"

The giant rat hurriedly lowered its head, "Put it on, me."

"If you want to eat me, why should I let you go?" Zi Ling smiled as she stared at it.

"Let me go, I'll give you some benefits."

Knowing the benefits, one had to admit that this rat was quite intelligent.

"I don't need any benefits, I have something to ask you. If your answer is satisfactory, I can let you go." As she spoke, Zi Ling raised her arm and pointed at the magma river, "If I want to go to the other side, is there any way?"

Giant rat's green eyes revealed an extremely human-like expression, "You, what are you going over there for?" After a few sentences, it spoke even more fluently.

"That's none of your business. Just tell me if you can do anything about it."

"No!" Giant Rat shook his head.

The corner of Zi Ling's mouth curled up. She clearly saw the evasive look in the mouse's small eyes. What was it hiding?

"If not, then I have no reason to let you go," he said as he gathered a fireball in his hand, preparing to slap it.

"No, no, there's a way." The giant rat was scared as it clutched its head.

"Speak …" Zi Ling withdrew her hand and continued to step on the rat to prevent it from making any other movements.

"In ten days, the temperature of the magma river will drop. When that time comes, I'll call you over." The mouse spoke in a single breath, afraid that the other party would kill him with one palm strike.

Zi Ling's eyes lit up and she withdrew her foot, "I can't go over myself?"

The giant rat shook its head, "No, humans can't withstand the temperature here."

"That's good. You just guard here and I'll let you go after I cross the river."

The giant rat didn't know what it meant by lifting a rock to smash its own foot. After it heard, it bent its ears and lay on the ground, licking the place where it had been injured.

"Why don't you want me to come over?" Zi Ling sat down cross-legged. Since there were still ten days before they could cross the river, she was in no hurry.

The giant rat rolled its green eyes and remained silent.

"You still want to taste my fist?" Zi Ling raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice as she stared at him.

The giant mouse drooped its head weakly, its small eyes that were not even a few times different from its face moved, "I don't know either, ever since we rats had memories, we have this kind of consciousness, we cannot bring any humans across the river."

"Oh?" Zi Ling was very surprised. She had heard that the Divine Profound Gate's trial monument had not been opened more than once. Could it be that no one had been there before?

"No one has ever been there?" Ask the giant mouse for confirmation.

The giant rat nodded, "They have no way to get there. Someone did try, but they all died in the magma river."

"What's over there? Since you can cross the river, you must know what's happening over there. " Zi Ling continued asking.

The giant rat answered honestly, "Nothing, just a snowy plain."

After sizing up the huge rat, she realized that it looked weak and didn't look like it was lying. She then retracted her gaze and slightly closed her eyes. Those mice probably didn't know what was happening over there. No matter what, she had to cross the magma river to see what the owner of that voice was calling her.

He sat for another two days. The giant rat's injuries had recovered quite a bit, and its eyes had also become a bit brighter.

Since dawn, the green belt at the border of the Wasteland and the Magma River had never been quiet.

"Let them go away, or else I don't mind taking care of them myself." He originally thought that the mice were naturally timid and wouldn't return after abandoning the mouse. He didn't expect that they would actually gather a large number of rats to guard the area. There were at least a hundred of them stacked on top of each other.

"If you let me go, they'll leave." The giant mouse spoke even more fluently in human language.

Zi Ling turned her head to look at him. "I said that I will release you after I succeed in crossing the river in ten days."

Mouse could tell that he still didn't want to take her across the river. "You think this group of rats can deal with me, so you can try and see if it's you guys who have suffered heavy losses, or me, huh?"

"Humans are really cunning!" The giant rat stared at Zi Ling. Two days ago, after being beaten up, it was angry and didn't dare to speak. But now, its children were lying in ambush in the forest.

Those mice lay in ambush, and Zi Ling was too lazy to pay attention to them. However, their courage grew, and they drew closer and closer …

"Bang …"

He mercilessly punched the giant rat's head, adding new injuries to its injuries that had just recovered.

"Wrong, I don't like cunning. I like being direct and letting them back off, or else I'll have more fists waiting for you." She did not hold back that punch of hers. The giant rat grimaced in pain, not daring to speak again.

Chik chik … Chik chik …

Very quickly, the rats gradually retreated, disappearing within a mile in radius.

After another long period of time, the rats gradually dispersed.

Zi Ling opened her eyes and looked at the giant rat, "Your children and grandchildren have all left. Seeing how obedient you are, as long as you cooperate with me in crossing the river, I will not make things difficult for you and your descendants."

The giant mouse opened its eyes and blinked a few times. It didn't find a single mouse in the vicinity. It seemed to be discouraged as it said: "Impossible, without my order it is impossible for them to retreat."

Zi Ling's expression changed, "Do you still want them to stay and threaten me?"

"No!" The giant rat hurriedly shook its head. "I mean, something must have happened before they left."

Zi Ling expressionlessly withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and continued cultivating.

After a long while, the giant rat seemed to realize what Zi Ling said was true. It couldn't wait any longer, and actually planned to escape. However, it was caught by Zi Ling.

"Try running again. I don't mind killing you and catching another mouse." The cold words scared the timid giant rat to the ground.

"Human, something must have happened to my family. If you can let me go, I will definitely come back to cross your river." The giant rat shakily stood up; its injuries had not fully healed yet.

Zi Ling looked at the quiet forest, frowning for a moment, "I'm sorry, but I don't believe in your promise. You can go back and take a look, but I also want to keep an eye on you. "

The giant rat was very anxious. It didn't refuse Zi Ling even though she wanted to follow her. "Follow me." Then he limped into the woods.

After walking for half a day with Zi Ling, they finally arrived at its lair.

"Where are they?" The giant mouse rummaged through the nest, but it couldn't find its own descendant.

Zi Ling looked at the humongous rats strung around the pit. It seemed that something had really happened!

Chik chik …

At this time, a sharp sound echoed into the ears of the man and the rat. The giant mouse suddenly turned its head and clawed the ground. It ignored its injuries and rushed out of the cave.

Seeing this, Zi Ling also followed.

Less than a mile away from the lair, countless rats were densely packed, and they were squabbling non-stop.

Ji...

The giant mouse raised its mouth and let out a long cry, suppressing the sounds of all the rats. The rest of the rats fell silent when they saw it, and one of the smaller ones took two steps back, its whiskers twitching with a sharp squeak.

Zi Ling didn't understand the mouse language, but she quickly understood what was going on. The smaller rat wanted to take advantage of the fact that the giant rat was no longer a usurper and wanted to kill the giant rat's direct descendants.

Ji...

The huge rat angrily roared at the usurped rat, waving its two sharp front claws and directly piercing into the rat's chest, tearing it apart.

Fresh blood flowed all over the ground. The other faction's rats were all trembling in fear, and the direct descendant of the giant rat were all elated. They continuously cried out ji ji ji, as if they were welcoming the giant mouse's return.

Zi Ling crossed her arms behind her back and looked at the scene before her. As she did so, a small mound of earth suddenly rose up from the forest in front of her.
