Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C180 Imperial City Reunion(part Iii)
Qi Hao nodded, then said to the few retainers behind him, “You can stay in the palace, I’ll be right back.” With that, he pushed his wheelchair forward and actually disappeared from the palace like the wind.
Seeing Qi Hao’s disappearing figure, Arnold’s clear, harmless eyes flashed, and then he let out a soft sigh, “She really changed the tides too many times.”
“Hey, what are you talking about?” Bloodstained pointed to Enoch, indicating that he should say it again.
Skybird also stepped forward. “Who did you say changed my master’s fate?”
Arnold shook his head, refusing to say anything more.
“It must be her! I knew it wouldn’t be good for Master to get close to her. ” Skybird frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
“Your master was influenced by her, but …” There was something else he couldn’t understand.
While Skybird was questioning Enoch, Qi Hao had already left the capital. No one knew how he had found the traces left behind by Zi Ling.
At this moment, Zi Ling was in a deep mountain several tens of kilometers away from the Elf Kingdom. The devouring power of that blood demon was truly formidable. After being tempered by the Phoenix Blood Saliva, her body was already as tough as a Soul Treasure, but she still suffered some injuries.
These injuries weren’t fatal to her, but a portion of the Phoenix Blood Saliva’s power that she had forcefully sealed had spread outwards, causing her to be caught unawares and injured.
The power of the Phoenix Blood Saliva was still rampaging within her body. The flesh and blood in her meridians were constantly being destroyed, and she was barely able to continue relying on the power of the Snow Pellet and the Origin Strengthening Pill to recover.
Ah …
She raised her head and roared, her hair floating in a mess by her side. When she had completely fainted, the Phoenix Blood Saliva within her body was still wantonly destroying her flesh and blood channels.
From a distance, it looked like a blazing fireball.
When Qi Hao appeared by her side, the red light surrounding her was so bright that it hurt the eyes, and the nearby sky seemed to be burning red.
Qi Hao’s face slightly changed. He stood up from the wheelchair, walking with his long legs straight and effortlessly. Within a few steps, he had already reached the side of Zi Ling. Right at this moment, the sleeping Zi Ling suddenly opened her eyes. The blood-red eyeballs on the back of Qi Hao’s invisible body flashed with a strange, devilish luster, without even the slightest fluctuation of a normal person’s emotions.
Qi Hao stretched out his hand, and in the instant that he touched Zi Ling’s arm, a violent force rumbled towards him.
If an ordinary profound general were here, just touching the purple silk would most likely cause his body to explode and die. Qi Hao only wrinkled his brows, and a white light suddenly burst out from his palm, covering Zi Ling’s body in a soft and gentle color, and the scorching sky also returned to normal at this moment.
Along with Qi Hao’s actions, the red light gradually faded, but the blood color on his face slowly faded away. Suddenly … The motionless Zi Ling suddenly turned around.
“Bang …”
Followed by a thunderous boom, a slender white palm landed on Qi Hao’s chest.
Under the red light, Zi Ling’s beautiful face revealed an enchanting smile, looking gorgeous and cruel.
This palm attack didn’t send Qi Hao flying. Before Zi Ling could make her second attack, Qi Hao had already pointed at every part of Zi Ling’s body.
Under the lock of Zi Ling’s scarlet eyes, Qi Hao suddenly coughed and a stream of dark red blood slid down from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Zi Ling’s emotionless eyes finally closed.
Qi Hao stared at the quiet purple silk. The red light, suppressed by the white light, continued to attack, attempting to escape its shackles. His gaze gradually landed on Zi Ling’s face, carrying a trace of scrutiny and suspicion. “Just who are you …”
On the third day, Pearl and Loke, under the order of Zi Ling, came to welcome the Divine Profound Sect’s people, and finally found them.
“Big Sister Pearl.” With her sharp eyes, Ling’er instantly recognized that the one standing in front of her was the smiling Zhu’er of the past.
Pearl was once sensitive and did not have much contact with Huang Ying, Gold, etc.
“Hello everyone, I have come to welcome you on the orders of my young miss.” Pearl said to everyone with a smile.
Huang Ying immediately came forward, “Where’s Ye Ling? “Why aren’t you seeing her?”
Gold also jumped down from the Golden-furred Lion. In just a few years, the youth had become very handsome. “Yeah, yeah, where’s Ye Ling?” I haven’t seen her in years. ”
Initially, they were unable to rebel against their father, and when Zi Ling needed their help the most, they had all felt very regretful and ashamed. However, when they heard that not only was Ye Ling able to play with the Ye Family and the Phoenix Mountain, but he also played with them, they all felt happy and proud at the same time.
Before Zhu’er could reply, Zhao Ting took a step forward, “Junior Sister Ye must have some important matters to attend to. Since she sent someone to pick us up, we will naturally meet up with her.”
“That’s true,” Huang Ying smiled, “It’s been so long since I last saw her, I really don’t know how powerful she is now.”
After Huang Ying finished her sentence, her gaze landed on Loke. “Hey, you’re an elf?”
Looking at her, Locke could tell what she was wondering. He gave her a friendly smile and said, “Yes, I’m an elf. My master said that I can train with her.”
Usually, humans’ retainers were all humans, elves’ retainers were also elves. Very few humans accepted elves as retainers, so it was not strange for Huang Ying to have this. If she knew that Zi Ling had also taken in a devil, she would probably be so shocked that her jaw dropped.
“You have been training with Zi Ling for three years, so you should be quite strong, right? I’m only a little longer than you, so why don’t we try it out on who’s stronger? ” Gold smiled at Locke.
In the past few years, the Divine Profound Gate had become extremely large and powerful. Moreover, there were several large clans behind them, and their gold had already reached the intermediate stage of the Mysterious Master realm, a little higher than Loke’s.
Loke glanced at Zhu’er, who was currently embracing Ling’er, and nodded at Loke, “Go and give it a try, as long as you don’t hurt her.”
“Alright then, let’s call it a day.” Locke said to the gold. What he was worried about was not that the gold would injure him, but that what Zi Ling was teaching him was basically a Killing technique with immense power. He was worried that the gold would be injured.
But Gold misunderstood. Smiling, he said, “Don’t worry, I will be lenient on you. I won’t hurt you.”
The two of them soon began to fight. The moment they started fighting, Gold knew that he had underestimated Loke.
Huang Ying and Zhao Ting also shook their heads and sighed, “As expected of her subordinate. He’s actually so powerful at such an age. Even if I were to fight him, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to harm him.” Huang Ying’s cultivation was higher than Loke’s, but she didn’t think she could completely defeat him.
After a few rounds, Locke and Gold each stopped.
“You’re very strong, I’m not your opponent.” Locke said sincerely.
Gold reached out and patted Loke’s shoulder, “You are already very powerful. If you had cultivated for the same number of years as me, you would definitely be stronger than me.” Right now, he didn’t dare to rashly open his mouth to fight against Ye Ling. Even one of his subordinates was this powerful. One could imagine just how terrifying her strength was right now.
Seeing the fatigue on everyone’s faces, Zhu’er said to everyone, “Master has already arranged everything, please follow me.”
Because of the golden age of only fifty years, Elf Kingdom’s Royal City had already become a sea of people. Zi Ling had long since arranged for Zhu Er to rent a decent inn for the Divine Mystery Sect.
After all the arrangements were made, Pearl was going to leave.
“Big Sister Zhu Er, I will go with you. I want to meet Master.” Although Zi Ling had never accepted her as a disciple, nor did she become a retainer, in Ling’er’s heart, Ye Ling was her master.
Pearl nodded, “Then come with me.”
“I also want to see her. You should bring me along.”
Pearl shook her head, “Master will naturally come back to see you. I can’t bring too many people in and out of the palace.”
Huang Ying also glared at her brother, but seeing that there was no reason for her to keep up, she could only reply, “Then you must tell her that we are all here. Tell her to come back quickly.”
Zhu’er smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, when Master returns, I will definitely tell her that you have arrived.”
Zhao Ting had been observing them closely the entire time. He noticed that not only were the cultivation level of the people beside Zi Ling high, even their bearing was no worse than the geniuses from the big sects. He inwardly sighed and said, “I’ll have to trouble Miss Zhu Zhu Er.”
Pearl nodded and led Locke and Ling’er out of the inn. Gold endured for a bit, but still chased after him.
Only after they left did Zhao Ting let out a sigh. “I’m afraid that Ye Ling’s subordinates won’t be a person to be looked down upon when they grow up.”
Huang Ying also nodded in agreement, “That’s right! “I used to think that Ye Ling was powerful, but I didn’t think that I was that much weaker than her. Right now, I might not even be able to catch up even if I use all my strength.”
This was also what Zhao Ting was thinking in his heart. He had been suppressing the thoughts in his heart because he had long since seen her as a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens.
“If Chu Feng knew that Ye Ling was in the Kingdom of Elves, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to go to the Endless Sea to complete this mission.” Previously, the Divine Profound Sect and the people of Phoenix Mountain also thought that Ye Ling was in the boundless sea. In their eyes, Chu Feng and Ye Ling were a pair and they would be together sooner or later.
Zhao Ting nodded, “After all, they are engaged. I think we should also send a message to Junior Chu to prevent him from wasting his time.”
Right at this moment, Gold came back from outside. He was chasing after Zhu’er to ask her about Zi Ling’s situation, and with a few words, Zhu’er sent him back.
“That group of people from Phoenix Mountain are really arrogant. I want to go up and kick them a few times.” Gold muttered with a look of displeasure on his face.
Huang Ying stared at him, “When we came out, how did you promise Father? This is an elven nation, not a human.
Zhao Ting asked, “What happened?”
“Just now, there was an elf that was selling a stalk of Marrow Eating Flower, it was snatched away by the people from Phoenix Mountain.” He had originally wanted to buy it at a high price, but who knew that Phoenix Mountain would snatch it away first? It was truly shameless.
“Marrow Eating Flower?” Huang Ying immediately asked.
The Marrow Eating Flower could be used to concoct a poison, even Xuan General level cultivators would have to avoid it for the time being.
Gold nodded, “Sis, why don’t you go out and give them a beating?” His eyes were shining.
Huang Ying tapped his head with two fingers, “That thing isn’t ours, what reason do I have to take it?” But what a pity, it had actually been obtained by those people from Phoenix Mountain. They were Ye Ling’s enemies. Naturally, they were also the Divine Profound Sect’s enemies. Letting them get the Marrow Eating Flower had undoubtedly added a lot of variables to their journey into the fantasy world, so it wasn’t a good thing for them.
