Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C202 There Are Treasures in the Hole of the Tree(part Ii)

Having said so, the bear-headed and wolf-headed beastmen’s eyes lit up. What are they doing here? For the sake of treasures, even if he had to die, he had to try. Moreover, the ghost forest in front of him was no longer dangerous, he was just picking up the loot.

“Alright, let us three brothers go back and investigate!” The bear-headed orc made a decision.

The wolf-headed beastman understood, although he still had lingering fears, but his big brother and second brother had already decided, so he could only brace himself and follow behind them.

While Zi Ling was dealing with the strange tree, Lei Yu and his three retainers were struggling their way through the Ghost Forest. The remaining people were all experts, and even if the Ghost Vine was difficult to deal with, there were no more casualties.

They simply did not know where the exit was. If this continued, the profound energy that would be used up would have to face something, and everyone knew in their hearts that they would be discouraged when they saw that the thick black fog still did not have any light that could enter.

“Stop!” Lei Yu suddenly spoke up. He took out a few bottles of Mysterious Enhancing Potion and passed them to his three servants, “Drink it before proceeding forward.”

The Mysterious Boosting Potions were extremely precious. Although the few servants did not have many, they all had a few bottles. Unfortunately, they had all been used up in the Ghost Forest. The three of them had almost run out of Xuan Energy, and seeing their master handing them over, they were very happy.

Lei Yu took out his Mystic Jade Gourd and swept it through the nearby Ghost Vines. He then sat down cross-legged and started to recover.

As they were recovering, the black mist around them slowly thinned, until there was not a single trace left. Lei Yu, who had already discovered that something was amiss, opened his eyes and stared at the bare forest. His violent eyes gradually narrowed.

The retainers had finished recovering one after another, and when they opened their eyes, they were all startled.

“This …”

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what was happening. Then they all turned to look at their master, only to find that their master wasn’t looking at them at all. Instead, he was looking at where they came from.

Lei Yu’s thin lips were pursed tightly. He looked a bit mean, but his eyes were like an eagle staring at the road he came from. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

After a long while, he turned around and looked at his squire.

At this moment, the three of them knew that their master was not in a good mood. Although they did not understand why their master was still unhappy after the danger from the Ghost Forest was eliminated, none of them touched the reverse scale. All of them avoided Lei Yu’s gaze and lowered their heads.

“You guys leave this place first and wait for me outside the forest.” With that, he flung his black robe and his figure quickly disappeared.

The three retainers had guessed it right. Lei Yu was currently in a very bad mood! Even Little Phoenix Ye Shan, who had risen to prominence in the past few years, was nothing in his eyes. His opponent might be talented, but his combat experience might not be enough, and he had climbed up the ladder from a young age through the Life and Death Trials.

Facing the Ghost Vine, his first judgement was that even if he won, it would be a close victory, so he didn’t hesitate to turn around and leave. But now that the Ghost Forest phenomenon had disappeared, the only explanation was that someone had taken care of the strange tree.

He didn’t have absolute confidence in winning, but now someone had done it. Who was this person that gave him a slap on the face?

His vicious eyes were like an eagle’s as he stared straight ahead, wishing that he could see through the obstacles in front of him. His mind was quickly searching for the person who was most likely to do this.

Ye Shan?

His brows were tightly knitted together. That little phoenix’s reputation was not small, but before this, she had been in closed-door training. If he said that he could easily take care of this strange tree, he would definitely not believe it.

Who was that?

A few more figures flashed through his mind, and he finally decided that it was most likely one of them. He tightly gripped the hand by his side. After the Gate of Illusion opened, he paid special attention to the fact that the person was not inside. Could it be that he only arrived after that?

Zi Ling had no way of knowing what Lei Yu and the others were guessing. She took the Origin Stones and turned around to leave, touching her bag of holding. Her lips curled up in a smile.

As it twisted and turned within the underground tree roots, the purple silk finally saw light. Just as it leaped out of the tree hole, it saw a figure rapidly approaching it.

Zi Ling subconsciously covered her storage pouch as she stared at the approaching person. This person was wearing a black robe and was tall. Although his appearance couldn’t compare to Qi Hao’s, he wasn’t that bad either. However, his pair of eyes were filled with a vicious aura.

She narrowed her eyes as she stared at the approaching figure.

Lei Yu looked at the woman in front of him, and a sharp light flashed in his long and narrow eyes. He had thought of many possibilities, but he didn’t expect that the person in front of him would be a peerless beauty.

He turned his head and looked around, and only then did he turn his head to look at the purple silk, “Have you seen anyone else?”

Zi Ling saw him like this and didn’t deliberately make enemies. She only shook her head and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to pass Lei Yu, Lei Yu suddenly raised his hand, “Stop!”

Zi Ling stopped and turned her head to look at him. It was as if her bright eyes were absorbing limitless amounts of spiritual energy. Anyone who saw her would feel their heart tremble.

Lei Yu was not a saint. He had just been in a hurry to find someone. Even though he did not pay much attention to her beauty, he realized that she was shockingly beautiful.

“How is it?” Zi Ling raised her brows with a cold expression, but her facial features were extremely alluring. At this moment, her eyes and tail were slightly raised in a flirtatious manner.

Lei Yu suddenly smiled, a light of interest flashed in his eyes, it seemed like he was determined to win. His eyes aggressively looked her up and down, “Since heaven wants me to meet you, then you will be my man from now on.”

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to grab her. Zi Ling’s eyes narrowed, and in the blink of an eye, she dodged Lei Yu’s grab.

Lei Yu was slightly astonished. Without any hesitation, he grabbed towards Zi Ling once again.

Zi Ling’s snow-white dress swayed in the wind, and with a few twists of her body, she easily avoided Lei Yu.

Lei Yu, who was in hot pursuit, suddenly stopped. His long and narrow eyes stared at Zi Ling as a heart palpitating storm brewed within them. “It’s you!”

Zi Ling was standing far away, but she didn’t say anything upon hearing Lei Yu’s words. In her mind, however, she was thinking about when she had seen him before.

Lei Yu’s words had a deeper meaning behind them. He came here to defeat the strange tree, but he didn’t believe that there was someone stronger than him here. He was angry and jealous, but he didn’t expect to meet a peerless beauty.

The few moves he made towards Zi Ling were not fierce, but they were not normal. The Profound General was unable to escape with his cultivation, but the beauty before him dodged them with ease. This meant that she was the person who defeated the strange tree!

Lei Yu slowly furrowed his long eyebrows, staring at the purple silk. “Did you finish off this strange tree?” he asked, grinding his teeth.

Zi Ling saw that his expression was a bit strange, so she just wanted to beat him up to stop him from paying attention to her own situation. She slightly raised her chin and replied, “That’s right, it’s me.”

“It’s really you!” Lei Yu tightly gripped the hand by his side as he heard Zi Ling’s answer. Then, he slowly asked, word by word, “Who, who are you?”

Zi Ling couldn’t be bothered to reply, “Why should I tell you?” After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to Lei Yu’s expression and turned to leave.

How could Lei Yu let her go so easily? Although he didn’t know who she was, with his ability to defeat the strange tree, he wanted to test her skills.

The Purple Ling sensed that the other party was suddenly releasing an extremely dangerous aura, and raised her guard, when she heard something flying from behind her.

Whoosh …

The ice arrow shot towards Zi Ling’s back without hesitation. Zi Ling quickly turned around and waved her hand, locking the ice arrow in place.

When Lei Yu saw this, not only was he not angry, but his eyes began to shine, “You really have some ability!” With that, he no longer held back. A fire dragon soared into the sky and roared as it charged at the purple silk.

Zi Ling took a few steps back. When she saw the Fire Dragon swimming in the air, her expression turned cold. Zi Ling did not dare to underestimate her opponent. The finger seal in her hand quickly moved, and as the fire dragon’s tongue approached her, hundreds of ice lotuses bloomed in the air, forming hundreds and thousands of ice crystal lotuses in the blink of an eye.

The Fire Dragon shook its head and tail, attempting to sweep away the lotus flowers that surrounded it. However, the moment it touched the lotus flowers, large patches of ice instantly covered the Fire Dragon’s body.

The fire dragon was instantly frozen on the spot, turning into an ice sculpture.

When Lei Yu saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched. He suddenly turned around to look at the other party, only to see that the other party was smiling lightly, as if to say, “Is this all you’ve got?”

Lei Yu was enraged and quickly circulated the Xuan Energy in his body. His black robe billowed and his long hair fluttered behind him. The aura around him was suddenly different.

The Purple Rings put away her smile and became more cautious. She continuously released ice lotuses in an attempt to completely imprison the Fire Dragon.

CHI *

An extremely soft sound was heard. Zi Ling’s brows twitched as she thought, “Not good. I saw the ice lotus around the fire dragon crack into spider threads.”

“Bang …”

The fire dragon soared into the sky and broke free from the ice lotus. The flames around its body became even more intense. Its head bent forward and it opened its mouth to reveal a huge fireball.

The fireball was several tens of feet large. Even if there were several tens of Xuanwu warriors who were at the back of the Xuan Master level down here, they would still turn into ashes without any suspense.

The fiery light in Zi Ling’s eyes was getting closer and closer. She did not plan to take the fire head-on. She suddenly flew up into the wind and avoided it.

Puff …

The fireball fell onto the ground, creating a huge black hole near the withered tree. Black smoke emitted from the black hole. It looked very miserable.

Lei Yu lamented inwardly, but the light in his eyes only grew brighter. He didn’t see it at all, he only thought that the purple silk had been smashed into the hole by the fireball. He thought that it was a pity: a beauty who was perfectly fine still didn’t know how she had been smashed to pieces.

After witnessing Zi Ling’s strength, he didn’t think that this fireball could take her life. He only wanted to prove that his strength was not inferior to hers. However, when he walked to the edge of the hole created by the fireball and looked inside, he was stunned.

Where was the person in the pit? There was nothing at all!

Right at this moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose. Lei Yu’s reaction was extremely fast, when he noticed that there was no purple silk figure in the pit, he quickly retreated, only to discover that his back was blocked by the flames and he had nowhere to retreat to.

Zi Ling slowly stepped forward and played with a fire chain in her hand. “Since you like fire so much, I will let you have enough!”
