Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C228 Where Is This Place(part Iii)
A figure slowly approached her, moonlight shining down from the sky. Zi Ling silently propped herself up on her arms.
“You’re here?” There was a languid huskiness in her voice that made Qi Hao’s eyes dim slightly.
Qi Hao stood still in front of the bed, but he didn’t make a sound. His back was to the moonlight, making it hard for people to see his current expression. But she could feel the eyes on her.
“Chu Feng has quite a good plan. He actually wants to cook the raw rice into a cooked meal.” In Qi Hao’s opinion, Chu Feng had no idea that this Ye Ling was different from Ye Ling. But as long as he could marry her, regardless of whether it was real or fake, he had the upper hand.
Zi Ling’s expression was slightly uneasy, “How can you be certain that it is his plan?” That day when she saw Chu Feng, she could not see any flaws on his face. If he followed Qi Hao’s wishes and fell into an illusion, then Chu Feng’s shrewdness could not be underestimated.
Qi Hao’s eyes flashed, he took two steps closer to the bed, “This is a man’s intuition! What’s more … If you still want to leave, you can’t let this go on. ”
As Violet Ling listened to Qi Hao’s words, she slowly analyzed in her heart. If they wanted to leave, they couldn’t force their will into this dreamland. Once their will became true, they might forever be trapped within, unable to leave.
“You’re right. I need to think about how to deal with this.” While pondering, Zi Ling’s gaze slowly moved away from Qi Hao, not knowing where she was looking, deep in thought.
Moonlight shone in from outside the window, and only a thin layer of moonlight fell onto the bed. The person on the bed had long, loose hair that fell onto her pure white pajamas, giving off a kind of soul-stirring beauty. Those who thought deeply didn’t know how beautiful she was at this moment. Her silk pajamas were messy, revealing her glistening skin. That seductive luster caused Qi Hao’s eyes to darken a few times.
Suddenly, Zi Ling raised her head and did not know that she was revealing the current situation. Her face was full of seriousness, “Tomorrow, I will go find Chu Feng and let him cancel the marriage.”
Qi Fu closed his eyes, and took a step forward. He turned his body to the side to look at Zi Ling, and shifted his gaze away at the same time, because he did not dare guarantee that he could see what would happen if he continued to watch. At this moment, any slight deviation could cause them to be eternally doomed.
“Well, maybe the key to our escape is with him. Don’t tell him that I’m still here before we leave.”
Zi Ling stared at the side of his face that seemed to be meticulously sculpted. A trace of doubt flashed on her face, “Why?”
At this moment, Qi Hao gave a faint smile, and his handsome profile instantly lit up with a bright light, making her feel as if her soul was about to burst out of her body.
“You don’t understand a man’s mind. If you tell him that I exist, I’m afraid we will never be able to leave this place.”
Zi Ling wasn’t a fool. She easily thought of the key point. She felt a bit embarrassed, but her face remained expressionless. She nodded, “I understand. You can leave now. I need to rest.”
As he finished speaking, he no longer looked in the direction of Qi Hao, but turned sideways and lay down.
Qi Hao stood in the room for a moment, did not know when left, felt the room without that heart palpitating breathing sound, purple silk slowly opened her eyes. He then turned around and laid flat on the bed. Because he could not cultivate in the illusions, he had slept at night these past few days. He was no different from a mortal. But today, Qi Hao’s appearance, let her sleep swept away.
Thinking of Qi Hao’s words and Chu Feng’s previous performance, Zi Ling’s heart became restless. For a moment, her thoughts were in a mess. It seemed that she needed to quickly find Chu Feng to find out what she was going to do next.
The next day, at dawn, the purple silk son to call Pearl to come. This was an illusion, and Zi Ling didn’t need to worry about Zhu’er’s identity, so she quickly appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
But Zhu’er did not know what was going on, and she had a look of fear and trepidation on her face, “Little … “Miss.”
Seeing Zhu’er’s perky acting, Zi Ling’s brows trembled, and resisted the urge to laugh.
“Alright, stop pretending. I called you over because I have something I want you to do.”
Upon hearing these words, although Zhu’er did not know what had happened, she still remembered the madame’s instructions and maintained a cautious expression on her face, “Miss, if there’s anything you need Zhu’er to do, please do it well for you.”
“Mm.” Zi Ling didn’t care about her reaction and nodded, “Go and check Chu Feng’s current whereabouts as soon as possible.”
Zhu Er suddenly raised her head, “Is that the young master of the Chu Clan, Miss’s fiancé?”
Zi Ling nodded, “Mm, that’s him. Quickly go investigate and don’t worry about others discovering your identity. Just follow my instructions and quickly find his whereabouts.”
Pearl stared at Zi Ling in puzzlement for a moment. In the end, she could only nod, “Yes, Miss, I will investigate as soon as possible.” With that, he left the room with a signal from Zi Ling. After stepping through the doorway, she turned her head back three times. The young lady in front of her gave her a sense of unfamiliarity, but her tone was full of confidence and domineering manner, making her unconsciously want to listen.
After Zhu Er left, Zi Ling did not stay idle either. It was near the wedding day, and the Chu Clan had also sent people to stay in the Ye Clan, in case the Ye Clan thought of any requests and decided to do it as soon as possible.
“Mi’er, go tell that person from the Chu Clan that I want to see their young master. Let him carry the word. ” Zi Ling thought for a moment before speaking to Xu’er.
Xu’er nodded, did not ask the reason, cleared away the cold tea on the table, turned and left the room.
After waiting for half an hour, before Zi Ling could finish playing her game, she saw Li’er walk in quickly.
Zi Ling gently placed Bai Zi down, and without turning her head she asked, “What did that person say?”
Xun Er’s forehead was covered in sweat, her expression was a little ugly, “Miss, he said that after the wedding date was set, Young Master Chu will go out on a trip, he said that he will hurry back as scheduled to get married.”
Before Zi Ling could put down Hei Zi who had picked him up, her eyebrows creased slightly. “That person refused without even thinking?”
Xu’er was surprised for a moment, but then she nodded. “Mm, when I finished speaking, he said that his young master was out on a trip, so I’m afraid he can’t see the young lady anymore.”
“Pa …”
The moment Hei Zi landed, his long purple sleeves folded up. He turned around and stood up. His eyes were as calm as water, but her heart was pounding. Damn Chu Feng, let me handle this.
She told Xu’er to go to the Chu Family to see what attitude the Chu Family had and how much Chu Feng had involved himself in this matter.
As soon as Xi’er finished speaking, the Chu Clan immediately rejected her. Even if they wanted to reject, they wouldn’t be able to find any problems with it. But exactly because of that, it meant that Chu Feng already knew that he would look for him and also thought of a way to deal with it. But how did he know he was going to find him?
There was only one reason, and that was that he was the real Chu Feng and not the Chu Feng in the illusion. So, that was why he disappeared after the marriage date was set.
She lightly sighed. Chu Feng, why did you have to do this? The two of them had already expressed their attitudes towards each other back in the Divine Profound Sect. He wasn’t willing to marry, and neither was she willing to marry. He was a lofty noble young master. He had many women that threw themselves into his arms, so why was he so obsessed with illusions?
In order to leave, she had to personally break this illusion.
In merely a day’s time, Zhu’er had sent Chu Feng’s message in front of her, “Miss, do you know who I met not too far away from the residence as I was preparing to go find someone as per your instructions yesterday?”
Because the screen had been pushed back, Zhu’er was extremely relaxed this time, not faking anything.
“Chu Feng.” Zi Ling said in understanding.
Hearing this, Zhu’er’s face wrinkled, “Miss, do you have a clairvoyant eye? “We all know that.”
Zi Ling faintly smiled, “What’s so difficult about guessing. I just told you to go find someone, but you let me guess, who else could it be?”
“That young master Chu covered it up quite well, but last time I heard that he proposed marriage, I paid special attention to the people around him, so yesterday when I went out and saw a servant by his side, I guessed that young master Chu was nearby as well.”
At this point, Zhu Er’s voice sounded a bit disappointed, “It’s a pity that I’m too weak. My traces were discovered by Sir Chu and they disappeared.”
When Zi Ling heard this, the corner of her mouth curled. This was not easy. If Chu Feng really wanted to hide from her, then she really wouldn’t be able to catch him before the wedding day.
Pearl knew that she had done something terrible, and she did not dare to say anything more. She just stood there obediently, not saying another word.
Zi Ling slowly sat down, but her mind was spinning.
After a long while, Zi Ling suddenly raised her head and said to Zhu Er, “Go and have Mei Er tell the Chu family that Chu Feng will appear in front of me within three days. Otherwise, once this marriage is over, I will do what I say. I believe that Young Master Chu will not doubt the credibility of my words.”
Pearl smacked her lips. Since when did Miss become so powerful? In front of her, she didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. She hurriedly nodded her head, “Okay, don’t worry miss. I will immediately go and ask Xiao-er to pass the message to me.”
Mi’er’s message was that the Chu Clan was continuously trying to dissuade Young Master Chu from travelling too fast. They had no way of contacting him and told him not to act rashly.
Hearing this reply, Zi Ling felt that it was a bit funny. However, she did not doubt that the news would reach Chu Feng’s ears without leaving a single word out.
One day… After calmly passing by, Chu Feng did not appear.
Two days… When the Chu Clan appeared, they told Zi Ling that she could not contact Chu Feng and told her not to rashly cause a conflict between the two families. Zi Ling ignored them and sent them off.
Three days … The day passed quickly, and the last rays of sunset were cast into the endless darkness.
Zi Ling stood by the window and waited quietly.
A breeze blew outside the window, rustling the leaves.
At this moment, her gaze suddenly fell onto the wall surrounding her courtyard. That place … A tall figure had already unknowingly stood there, and an inexplicable emotion surged within his pitch-black eyes as it came from afar.
“Since we’re here, let’s talk.” Zi Ling’s voice was not loud, but Chu Feng, as a Black Tortoise who was behind the Profound Master, could easily hear those words.
