Demon King's Pampered Wife

For a time, the square was in complete silence. In fact, many disciples had heard of the rumors and knew that Stellar Kingdom had recently been attacked by the beast race. They also knew that they would embark on their journey sooner or later.

All the disciples looked at each other. Finally, a hand reached out from the dense crowd.

More and more people were willing to join the battle against the Beastmen, which meant that the disciples of the Divine Profound Sect were not cowards. Huo Zhen was very pleased. As he swept his gaze over them, he suddenly discovered that Zi Ling, who was the most eye-catching amongst them, did not raise her hand.

He also planned to let Zi Ling lead the group. Seeing this, he directly called her name and said, "Ye Ling will be the one leading the group to resist the Beast Race this time around. Ye Ling, you have to do your best to ensure the safety of every single disciple, understand?"

Zi Ling reflexively frowned. If it was in the past, if it was someone unrelated, she would definitely refuse without hesitation. But this person in front of her protected her time and time again, and not too long ago, he even said that as long as she was a disciple of the Divine Profound Sect, he would protect her for one day.

All right … She sighed, treating it as a return of his affection.

"Yes, Master." She took a step forward and answered.

Seeing her nod, Huo Zhen felt relieved and said in satisfaction, "This trip is full of danger. You have to be careful too."

Once everything was settled, Ye Ling went to the mountains near the Hundred Origin City to find Zhu'er, Ling'er, and Ling'er's grandfather, and received them from the Divine Profound Sect.

"Master, please take care of them for me." Ye Ling pointed at Ling'er and her grandfather as he spoke to Huo Zhen.

Huo Zhen's gaze turned somewhat probing. However, Zi Ling did not explain nor introduce them. He merely nodded his head in silence before saying, "Don't worry. I will protect them once they are handed over to me."

Zi Ling nodded her head. If she left now, it was uncertain when, and Ye Zhen would find out about it sooner or later. That way, Ling'er and her grandfather would be in danger, which was why she brought the two of them to the Divine Profound Sect. Zhu'er and the Arrow Tailed Tiger, on the other hand, planned to bring them with her. She needed help, and they also needed training.

After explaining everything to Huo Zhen, she brought Ling'er and her grandfather to where she lived.

"Ling'er, this is where you and your grandfather will live from now on. These are the pills and these are my cultivation experiences. Take them and cultivate well." Zi Ling gave Ling'er the things she had prepared beforehand. Everything else wasn't as important to her as raising her own strength or raising Ling'er's strength, so she had to ensure Ling'er's safety and quickly increase her cultivation.

Ling'er took the item given to her by Zi Ling and asked hesitantly, "Miss, can't Ling'er go with you?" A trace of anticipation appeared in her clear eyes.

"No." Zi Ling flatly refused and didn't deliberately explain too much.

Ling'er's expression immediately became gloomy, and when she saw the situation, she hurriedly patted Ling'er's head, "This trip was too dangerous. Miss was worried that you were too young, and wouldn't be able to take care of you."

As she finished speaking, Zhu'er could clearly feel a sharp gaze coming from behind her. She shuddered, and forced herself to continue comforting Ling'er.

Zi Ling looked at the two of them, then said, "If any of you encounter any problems here, you can head straight to the Great Cliffs Palace to find the Sect Leader." After he finished speaking, he left his own courtyard without looking back.

Ling'er was a tool for her to use against Zi Xiao, so she definitely couldn't put even a trace of her feelings into it.

As she left, a tiger followed her in silence. Some time ago, when the Shadow Devil took the Foundation Building pill, it didn't come back for a few days. This was why a man and a tiger had a moment of peace.

Zi Ling could sense that the Tiger Arrow Tail Tiger was following her. She stopped in her tracks, turned around slightly, and beckoned to it.

The Tiger Arrows Tail Tiger looked as if it had been injected with chicken blood. It suddenly straightened its body and ran in front of Zi Ling, using its head to rub itself against Zi Ling's palm.

Zi Ling rubbed its head and slowly led it towards a remote mountain peak.

It was already late in the evening, and the red clouds had dyed the entire sky a pale gold. From the summit of the mountain, she looked down upon the familiar yet unfamiliar land of the mountain range, feeling as if time and space had intersected.

The mountain breeze gently blew. The hem of her skirt was slightly raised as it brushed against the back of the Tiger Arrow Tail Tiger's body. It comfortably rubbed against the hem of its skirt that fluttered past.

Zi Ling's expression was tranquil and indifferent, her pair of clear eyes emitting a cold light. No one knew what she was thinking about at this moment …

Without much time to prepare, the disciples of the Divine Profound Sect quickly packed their equipment and set off the next day. This time, there were no elders leading the group. All the elders were in charge of guarding the Divine Profound Sect, so the young disciples had to rely entirely on themselves to go all out and gain experience.

More than twenty mysterious masters and two hundred lower level mystical soldiers had thus embarked on their journey to defend against the Beastmen.

Liu Shuang Shuang's disappearance, on the other hand, was reduced to a small incident because of the various matters surrounding the Divine Profound Sect. Although Huo Zhen had sent people to search for Liu Shuang, no one had expected her to die in the Celestial Dragon Pool.

Zi Ling did not believe that she had done anything wrong with this matter. Even if she had been punished by Huo Zhen or if there had been more trouble, she would have still killed Liu Shuang. If she was still able to live her life as she wished, allowing the hidden danger to grow and threaten her, then her death in the past would be completely worthless.

There were two hundred people in the group. Apart from the elite disciples who each rode a mount, the rest were two people each. On the other hand, Zi Ling, Zhao Ting, Jin, and the others who had renounced their low-level beasts, the Wind Chasing Wolf, and the yellow-furred Lion, all mounted giant rats, heading towards the border of the human race and the beast race in a formidable array.

Their current strength was compatible with over a hundred magical beasts. They didn't need to be afraid of any large sect that came out to train.

Pearl was riding on the largest giant rat, closely following Zi Ling. Gold, seeing Pearl for the first time, followed curiously by her side, asking unceasingly, "Who are you? "Why haven't I seen you before?"

Pearl glanced at him coldly, but did not reply.

With his astonishing Golden Hardness, even when facing Zhu'er's glare and cold eyes, he still circled around and asked.

"Alright, the gold is back." Huang Ying finally could not stand her brother anymore and forcefully reprimanded him.

"I'm just curious. I've never seen her before."

Huang Ying had already taken a look at Zhu'er. There was a pitch-black staff at the side of her waist. Occasionally, when the wind blew past her, she would unconsciously release her profound energy.

"You can't even tell that much? "She's Ye Ling's retainer." Huang Ying revealed Pearl's identity with a single sentence.

"Servant? Is such a beautiful young lady a squire? " In his eyes, his subordinates were all dark and strong men. They were all very strong, at least stronger than him.

Huang Chong had also chosen their retainers, but because it was inconvenient for them to enter the Mysterious God Gate, he didn't bring them with him.

"One shouldn't judge a book by its cover, this little girl is definitely stronger than you." Huang Ying glanced at his younger brother, purposely provoking him.

Who would have thought that gold would completely go against common sense? Hearing this, his eyes lit up, "Ye Ling's retainer must be very powerful." With that, he patted the magical beast below him, and moved closer to Zhu Er, "What's your name? "It's boring on the way. Why don't we fight each other to see who's stronger?"

In fact, he had always been targeting Zi Ling in his heart, but he knew very well that challenging Zi Ling with his own strength was simply courting death. Now that a retainer had appeared, he could no longer hold it in. There was no reason for him to not be able to defeat Ye Ling, not even a retainer at her side.

These golden words were heard by the group of elite disciples behind Zi Ling. They all clapped and encouraged them, "Alright, then let's have a bet."

"I bet a bottle of Mysterious Enhancing Potion on you winning." Some of the elite disciples joked.

"I bet one pill on you losing." In the hearts of the elite disciples, elixirs were extremely precious. Some people were reluctant to take them all, but some were reluctant to do so.

More and more people were booing, but most of them had lost because they were buying gold. Gold looked at his fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters angrily, "All of you have no sense of loyalty. You actually bought a girl you don't know and won."

"Of course, that's Sister Ye's retainer. Not to mention you, even I am not sure that I can win."

The ruckus had swept away the depressing atmosphere on the way. After travelling for two days, without stopping to rest, Zi Ling waved her hand to call for a halt, "Since you want to compete, you should try accompanying Gold Coin. There is no need to hold back."

"You!" Gold did not expect the purple silk to be like this and became even more angry.

"Yes, miss." Zhu'er elegantly flipped over from the giant rat's body and raised her chin, "If you want to fight, then do it. If you lose, don't say that I bullied little brother."

Everyone started laughing out loud because of Zhu Er's words. The Golden Lion King was extremely angry, and with a single thought, the yellow-furred lion flew out of the beast control bag, pouncing and biting in the direction of Zhu Er.

Zhu'er chuckled, her bright green dress fluttering in the wind as her figure leapt onto the back of the yellow-furred lion.

Roar …

The beast tamer's cultivation base was linked to his master's cultivation. Although gold had not yet broken through to the Divine Master realm, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, causing the yellow-furred lion to be extremely confident. How could it tolerate a human stepping on its own back. It shook its body violently and tried to throw Pearl down.

Pearl beamed, her feet were as steady as a sucker, sucking on the back of the yellow-haired lion, and she let it move, but her body remained as steady as a mountain.

The rest of the people who were watching the show widened their eyes. They had started buying pearls in order to amuse the gold, but they did not expect this little girl, who was around the same age as the gold, to have the upper hand.

"She is a mysterious master, and she is actually a mysterious master!" Someone shouted in alarm.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhu'er was very satisfied and smiled proudly, "That's right, I am indeed a mysterious master." During this half a year of closed-door cultivation, in addition to the pills given by her master, she had already broken through to the Xuan Master Stage a month ago.

It was a quick battle. Gold was obviously not a match for Pearl, and she beat her opponent to the ground in a few breaths' time.

"How is it? Are you convinced? "

Gold hurriedly shouted, "Woman, spare me! I admit defeat! I admit defeat …"

At this moment, everyone was shouting in their hearts, "There really is such an abnormal master like this abnormal subordinate. Where did this little girl come from? Her talent and strength is comparable to these elite disciples, yet she is willing to become a subordinate!"

"It's good that you've admitted defeat. Remember my name, I am Zhu'er!" After a wink of a smile, Pearl said to Gold and the others.
