Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C194 Gate of Illusion(part Iii)
He subconsciously took a step forward, but nothing happened. She took another step forward and used her spiritual sense to observe her surroundings.
As she climbed over a mound, her view widened as she saw a clear lake shimmering under the sunlight. There was only one big tree by the lake. It had a lush foliage and was a pleasant green color.
Seeing this, Zi Ling sucked in a breath of cold air, because she saw a familiar figure.
Qi Hao!
Why was he here too?
The figure lying by the lake seemed to have sensed something, and at the same time that Zi Ling looked at him, he also turned his head, his pair of deep black eyes falling straight towards Zi Ling. After seeing who it was, a trace of a smile appeared on Qi Hao’s face, “You sure know how to choose a place …”
Zi Ling pursed her lips. These words should be said by her.
Such a mystic realm would, more or less, have a cautious and prudent atmosphere, however, in such a tense atmosphere, Qi Hao was actually lying leisurely on the lakeside.
However, Zi Ling was not surprised, as it seemed that Qi You should have done this before, in order to show his consistent style.
Qi Hao seemed to have seen through Violet Silk’s thoughts. Smiling, he pointed to a nearby location. “Come over.”
Zi Ling was already walking, but she neither stopped nor picked up speed when she heard Qi Hao’s words.
“Why are you here?” Zi Ling came to Qi Hao’s side, stopped her steps, and looked down at him. She saw him propping himself up with one hand and casually resting his other hand on Qi Hao’s side.
“Of course I’ll be here. What else do you think I’m doing in the Kingdom of Elves?” Qiwi smiled at her.
Zi Ling stared at his face, and in the sunlight, the skin of Qi Hao’s handsome face shone with a faint light, reflecting a kind of charming glow that made one’s heart palpitate.
Zi Ling calmly looked away and stared at the front, “Who will know what you’re thinking?”
In her opinion, Qi Hao’s thoughts were deep, and she couldn’t figure it out, so she didn’t want to think about it.
Qi Hao laughed, “Others might not know, but you …” They should know. ”
As she said that, Zi Ling felt a scorching gaze land on her face. She obviously didn’t look at him directly, but the aura that permeated the air between the two of them gradually grew hotter. Zi Ling also frowned uncomfortably, as if she was not used to this kind of atmosphere.
After a long while, she finally coughed lightly. “You’re in the mood to enjoy the scenery here. I don’t have the time, see you later …” As he spoke, he stepped away from Qi Hao, intending to walk further away from the lake.
“Ye Ling …” Kewie sat up slowly, leaning on his arm.
Zi Ling heard the sound and turned her head around, puzzled. She was surprised to see Qi Hao’s deep gaze falling on her. In that instant, Zi Ling seemed to be able to read something from those eyes, her heart suddenly beating erratically.
“Will you marry me after we go out?” Qi Hao’s thin lips were opened and closed, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely shocking.
Zi Ling was terrified, and for the first time, she was at a loss of what to do. “What did you say?”
Seeing her panic, Qi Hao’s lips curved upwards into a smile. “Will you marry me?”
Zi Ling took a deep breath, trying to look as calm as possible. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m not familiar with you.”
As he spoke, Qi Hao rose from the ground and approached her with graceful steps.
Zi Ling saw Qi Hao closing in step by step, and wanted to retreat. She wasn’t a young girl, how could she retreat in panic over such a small matter? She braced herself and stood still, her eyes staring straight at Qi Hao, as if this was the only way she wouldn’t be afraid.
“Ling’er, you look very cute.”
His smile was like a blooming spring flower, causing Zi Ling’s eyes to dazzle for a moment. Her consciousness also lightly trembled a few times.
In that split-second, the calm lake turned into a huge wave, and a huge monster suddenly tried to bite Zi Ling.
Qi Hao held Zi Ling’s body in his arms and rolled her body along the shore, barely dodging the monster’s attack from the lake.
After missing the hit, the monster dove back into the lake. The lake returned to its previous tranquility. However, in this peace, both of them knew that there was a great danger lurking in the shadows.
Zi Ling woke up from her stupor, realizing that she was almost bitten by a monster in a moment of carelessness. Annoying that she was useless, in the blink of an eye, she found herself lying in Qi Hao’s arms, trying to push him away and sit up.
Qi Hao, on the other hand, increased his strength even further, holding her tightly in his arms. A faint scent of grass rose up from Zi Ling’s nose, making her suddenly feel an unusual heat.
“Ling’er, can you promise me that?” Kehoe lowered her head slightly and rubbed her chin against the top of Violet’s head, kissing her dark hair with the corner of her lips.
“Qi Hao, are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting?”
She didn’t think she had a good relationship with Qi Hao, and had even thought of him as the most dangerous person to keep away from. But suddenly, Qi Hao actually said that he wanted to marry her.
In his previous life, he wasn’t the first man to propose to her, but he was the first to dare to propose to her.
A burst of low laughter came from the top of her head. Her clear voice carried a trace of bewitching magnetism. “Perhaps. I want to go crazy this way for once. Ling’er, are you willing to go crazy with me?”
Zi Ling could never have imagined that the usually calm and self-contained Qi Hao would suddenly become so emotional. His face alternated between red and white, and his mental state also underwent a very subtle change.
“If you want to go crazy, then go crazy. What are you pulling me along for? Let go of me.” Zi Ling had almost forgotten that she was a cultivator, and her instinct was to push Qi Hao away.
Suddenly, his lips turned soft, and the smell of grass filled his nose and mouth.
Zi Ling opened her eyes wide, unable to react for a moment.
Buzz …
Her mind was completely blank. Qi Hao, who was standing in front of her, smiled and gently called out to her, “Ling’er …”
The kiss grew deeper and deeper. Their breaths intertwined and the smell on each other’s body was like a fascinating poison. Even the calm purple silk was confused by the sudden turn of events that happened for the first time in over a hundred years and even forgot to struggle for a moment.
The purple silk only came back to her senses when she felt a slight stinging pain on her lips.
Qi Hao let out a low laugh, then said, “Silly Ling’er, that silly look of yours is very adorable.”
Zi Ling’s gaze gradually became clear again, allowing him to gently kiss her lips. A faint aura of grass was emitted from her face. “Ling’er, can you promise me?”
Zi Ling, who hadn’t made a sound until now, gradually curved her lips upwards. Her eyes flashed a trace of ridicule, but she still didn’t move, only staring at Qi Hao’s eyes.
Qi Hao finally stopped ignoring her eyes, slightly knitted his good-looking eyebrows, and said with a slightly sad tone, “You don’t want to?”
Zi Ling took the opportunity to push him away and sat up straight. Her expression was calm without the slightest trace of her previous fluster and embarrassment.
Qi Hao frowned again, “Am I not good enough?” Or is there someone else in your heart? ”
Zi Ling remained silent, only staring at Qi Hao’s face with her pair of deep and unblinking eyes.
“It’s Chu Feng right?” Qi Hao’s deep eyes suddenly spread a layer of anger.
The corner of Zi Ling’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a slight smile, “Why would you want to marry me?”
Hearing her finally say something, the anger that had just emerged in Qi Hao’s face instantly disappeared, and he once again returned to his usual look, only, a trace of happiness could be seen in his eyes, “Because I like you!”
“Qi Hao …” “Even if you, who have always been devious and calm, and like me, have always liked me, I don’t think you would be able to express your thoughts so bluntly, right?” She was talking to herself rather than to him.
Qi Hao was a highly intelligent demon, and from everything he had done, it could be seen that he wanted to obtain something. He definitely wouldn’t be as bold as to say something without the confidence he had just now, and even repeatedly ask about it.
She didn’t know why, but she felt that even if Qi Hao fell in love with a woman, he still wouldn’t be so presumptuous as to express his feelings.
In front of him, Qi Hao’s expression didn’t change, he slowly raised a smile, “Calm down?” How can I still be calm after meeting you? ”
Zi Ling’s brows creased even more, “Enough, you don’t need to continue acting,” Zi Ling said flatly. Then, she stood up from the ground, turned her head to survey her surroundings, at the same time, she said softly, “This place shouldn’t be what I saw right?
When she said this, perhaps she did not even know that there was a strange emotion in her heart.
Qi Hao continued to stare at her with those loving eyes, as if he wanted to drown her in his own gentleness.
Although Zi Ling was certain that this was an illusion, the Qi Hao in front of her was no different from the real Qi Hao. For some reason, she was afraid of seeing those eyes.
It was unknown how long they had been staring each other down, but Qi Hao’s gentle gaze suddenly disappeared, and his handsome face turned numb. His empty eyes no longer had any emotion, and he opened and closed his mouth, “What a smart girl, you can leave now.”
In almost the blink of an eye, Zi Ling saw that the man in front of her was like an immortal, his body dissipating into the air like a snowflake.
Before she could carefully observe them, the scenery around her suddenly changed. She raised her head and saw the desolate desert. Zi Ling subconsciously narrowed her eyes and released her divine intent.
She didn’t immediately take a step forward. Based on her previous experience, she was worried that this place was still an illusion.
Soon, his divine sense scanned an area of several dozen kilometers. There were two groups of people about ten li in front of her. And everywhere she spread out her spiritual sense, there was nothing but desert, not even a blade of grass growing.
She stood there for a moment, then lifted her foot and walked to the right.
“This is the Gobi Desert, aren’t you afraid of danger if you follow me?” A woman in red with her hair in disarray and a sheen of sweat on her forehead turned to look at the three people behind her.
The three of them wore the same clothes, and two men and one woman were staring at Zhao Ruyue with shining eyes.
“Hand over what you just obtained and we’ll let you go.”
Zhao Ruyue’s black and white eyes turned slightly, then she laughed, “I don’t know what you guys are talking about, but the moment I entered, I was followed by you people. Where did you get anything?”
It had to be said that Zhao Ruyue’s luck was heaven-defying. Although there were countless treasures in the illusionary world, even the most ordinary medicinal plants were extremely precious outside. As for the others … For example, a Profound Treasure was extremely rare. Some people might not even be able to see one side of a Profound Treasure on the day the illusion door closes.
But what about Zhao Ruyue? As soon as she entered, a bubble appeared in front of her. When she confirmed that there was no one nearby, she carefully broke open the bubble and took out the item.
