Demon King's Pampered Wife

By the time she returned to the edge of the fog, the three of them had already sobered up and were circling around, as if searching for her whereabouts.

Gold was the first to notice her, riding the yellow-furred lion as he ran over.

"What just happened?" He remembered hearing a voice in the mist that sounded like a child's cry, and then he had no memory of it.

Zilch raised her head to look at the gold atop the Golden-furred Lion. "You have been controlled by a magical beast of the fourth rank."

"No way!" Gold had his mouth wide open, looking like he had just gone through hell's gates.

Very quickly, Huang Ying and Zhao Ting also noticed the two people, Gold and Purple Ling, and rushed over.

Zi Ling told the two of them what just happened.

"Master said that the trial tablet is filled with danger, but I don't believe him. Now I believe him. I wonder how the other disciples are doing?" As the eldest senior brother of the Divine Profound Sect, Zhao Ting had the entire sect in his heart, so he was naturally worried about the safety of the others.

Huang Ying turned around and looked at the endless fog. "If it wasn't for Ye Ling leading the way, it wouldn't have been easy even if we wanted to walk out of this fog."

"And this is only the periphery of the trial monument. You can imagine how dangerous it is inside." Zhao Ting turned around and looked into the depths of the stone forest. For a moment, everyone was silent. Even the gold that liked to make a ruckus revealed a rare look of seriousness.

"Cousin, what should we do?" The gold jumped down from the Golden-furred Lion's body.

Zhao Ting and Huang Ying, on the other hand, set their gazes on Zi Ling.

"Don't look at me. I was only able to bring you out of that mist due to some strange reason." She did not lie when she said that. The faint echo in her head had already disappeared. She had sensed it carefully a few times, but she had not been able to find it.

"However …" Zi Ling swept her gaze over the three of them. "That kind of magical beast is good at controlling its consciousness, which is why you were tricked. If you don't meet this kind of magical beast, you still have a high chance of winning."

After all, Zhao Ting and Huang Ying were the elite disciples of the Divine Mysterious Gate. If they hadn't encountered magical beasts that controlled their minds from the very beginning, they wouldn't have been so passive.

"Then I am relieved." Gold let out a long breath and laughed, "I said, if it's a magical beast that would kill no one, then what are we training for, aren't we all here to die?"

With Zi Ling's words, Huang Ying and Zhao Ting relaxed.

"Kid, if you don't cultivate properly, aren't you here to throw away your life?" Gold took another hit for no reason. Fortunately for him, it was a natural habit. He let out a cry and then continued smiling.

Zhao Ting took two steps towards Zi Ling, "Huang Ying and I took a stroll around the vicinity and found that the stone forest was surprisingly wide. It was also very easy to get lost."

Zi Ling nodded. Zhao Ting was right. If it wasn't for her powerful Spiritual Sense, she would have been lost in these stone forests with similar appearances.

"I think we might as well stop and wait and see if any of our fellow disciples are able to walk out of the fog." Zhao Ting suggested.

In her heart, Zi Ling would definitely not agree with such a suggestion. She had come here to gain experience, and with such a large group of people together and in danger, it was simply impossible for her to train herself. If it weren't for Gold and Huang Ying, she would have already set off on her own.

"What are you talking about?" Huang Ying finished tidying up the gold, and the two of them walked over together.

Zhao Ting told Huang Ying of his suggestion. Huang Ying also nodded in agreement. However, their gazes all landed on the purple silk ribbon, as if asking for her opinion.

Zi Ling's gaze swept past the three of them. She understood the meaning behind their gazes. They wanted her to act with them. He had to wait for the Shadow Devil to return anyway, so he nodded, "Wait one day, if no one comes out, we will set out on our journey."

The sky was darkening, and the wind was blowing through the stone forest with a strong whine.

Zhao Ting raised his head and looked at the sky, "We need to find a place to stay for the night."

"There are stones everywhere. Where can I go? I think we should find a rock to hide from the wind here for the night. " Huang Ying looked around but couldn't find a better place.

Following their discussion, the sky became thicker like ink and the temperature became colder and colder. The wind blew from the narrow valley and cut him like a knife.

"I'm afraid we have to find a place to hide." The purple silk felt the unusually rapid changes in the surrounding weather.

Before she could finish her sentence, Gold cried out, "Ouch! It hurts!"

The group immediately hid behind a nearby boulder as the purple silk secretly circulated her spirit energy to block out the cold wind.

As time passed, the climate of the stone forest became increasingly strange.

"I can't go on like this. I find that the sky is getting darker, the colder it is, and the stronger the wind is." Huang Ying released her Xuan Energy to dissolve the coldness, but her voice was trembling uncontrollably.

As Huang Ying spoke, Zi Ling's gaze swept across the nearby stone peaks, quickly landing on one of the stone peaks in the distance.

"Over there." She pointed upwards and took the lead to leave. Huang Ying and the other two behind her did not hesitate to keep up with her pace.

Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. Stepping on the rugged rock mountains, enduring the pain of the cold wind cutting into their faces, they finally arrived outside a stone cave under the leadership of Zi Ling.

"Let's go in." Zi Ling turned around and glanced at the three of them. Seeing that no one had left the group, she turned around and entered the cave.

"Comfortable …" A wave of hot air blew over, instantly dissolving the frost condensed on their eyebrows.

Gold hopped to his feet and swatted away the frost on his body. "If we were just a quarter of an hour late, we'd all be frozen into ice pops."

Huang Ying rubbed her hands as she observed the cave and said, "This place is filled with danger."

Zi Ling was at the very front, and after hearing what was said, she did not say anything. She also started to feel that the outcome of this trip to the Divine Profound Sect might not be good for the disciples. Aside from her, the other three people present were the most outstanding disciples of the Divine Profound Sect. However, in the face of such a strange environment and the threat from Demon Beasts, they did not have much experience. There was no need to even mention the rest of the group.

"Did you notice? The deeper we go, the warmer it becomes. Furthermore, the profound energy within our body is moving uncontrollably. " Zhao Ting was the first to notice that this cave was not normal.

"I also feel that something is wrong when you say this." Huang Ying quickly said.

"Something's wrong …" Suddenly, he sat cross-legged on the ground, "Quickly, feel it carefully."

When Huang Ying heard this, she immediately sat down cross-legged like Zhao Ting.

Not long after, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, but they were not frightened like they had imagined. Instead, they were pleasantly surprised, "Cultivating here, profound energy refinement is at least three times faster than outside."

"Really?" The previously unmoving Gold Coin immediately followed Huang Ying and Zhao Ting's example and sat cross-legged, trying to sense the situation carefully.

Thus, the three of them quickly entered a state of cultivation. Zi Ling stood there motionlessly. When Huang Yingdao had said that this place was beneficial for cultivation, she had already secretly circulated her spiritual energy and had not increased it in the slightest.

It seemed that this place was only good for them. She glanced at the three of them, then looked at the relatively small cave. After realizing that there was no danger, she walked towards the cave entrance.

Outside the cave, it was dark and gloomy. A cold wind howled past. The cave entrance seemed to have a transparent barrier that blocked everything outside. She stood in front of the cave entrance and looked out at the pitch-black world. It was as if she had returned to the past. Back in that cruel world, she had experienced countless life and death experiences in order to survive and cultivate …

One night passed quickly. Huang Ying stretched out her arms in a comfortable manner and realized that her body was brimming with mystical Qi, faintly showing signs of reaching the peak of the Houtian realm.

Zhao Ting and Gold woke up one after the other. Satisfaction and delight could be seen on their faces.

"Cousin, looks like you've gained quite a bit." Huang Ying smiled knowingly.

Zhao Ting smiled, "It might not be long before you become a Mysterious Master here."

Huang Ying nodded. This was simply a precious cultivation ground. She suddenly thought of the purple silk and turned her head to look, only to find an extremely beautiful figure sitting at the entrance. The sunlight fell upon her face that was as white as jade, as if it had restrained all the beauty in the world in an instant.

Zhao Ting's expression faltered for a moment. Even the normally carefree Gold was staring at him.

At this time, that peerlessly beautiful face, which was as clear as autumn water, opened its eyes, and its gaze fell upon the three of them.

"The temperature outside has risen and the wind has stopped." Zi Ling slowly stood up from the ground as she spoke.

Only then did the three of them cast their gazes outside. The sunlight was abundant, making them look lazy. It was as if the biting cold last night was just an illusion.

Gold was the first to run out of the cave. "The wind has stopped, it's so warm!" He said loudly to the others.

Zhao Ting and Huang Ying walked to Zi Ling's side and looked towards the fog. The world was still shrouded by the thick black fog, making it hard to see what was going on inside.

"No one came out." Huang Ying elaborated on a fact.

Of course not! If not for that inexplicable sound, she might not have been able to walk out of this fog.

"Then what should we do? Do we continue to wait or leave? " Gold asked.

"It's only halfway through. We'll see what happens tomorrow." After Zhao Ting finished speaking, he looked at Zi Ling and asked, "How was Junior Sister's harvest last night?" After last night's cultivation, Zhao Ting thought that this was a good place. Their purpose in coming here was to increase their cultivation. Now that they had achieved their goal, he did not want to leave immediately.

"Right, I have always been curious about your current level. is probably not below the mysterious master? " This had been Huang Ying's guess the whole time. Otherwise, how could the other party leave Qingfeng Town so easily?

Zi Ling smiled slightly but did not reply.

At this moment, a mass of black fog came from the sky. Huang Ying and the other two were shocked, thinking it was another phenomenon in the stone forest.

Zi Ling took a step forward and stared at the rapidly approaching black fog.

"Master, save me …" As soon as the black mist saw the purple silk, it immediately appeared behind her in a flash as if it had found its backbone.

Huang Ying and the other two looked at each other in dismay. All they could see was a mass of black fog trembling non-stop behind Zi Ling.

"What is this?" Gold curiously poked at the black mist.

"What are you doing?" The Shadowfiend was suddenly jabbed into an itch and bellowed at the Gold.

Gold smiled, "You really know how to talk. Who are you?"

"I am not a thing, you are a thing!" As he said this, he felt that what he said wasn't right and immediately said, "Pah! You're not a thing!"

Gold was confused by its words and muttered, "How can you curse?"

"Then I'll scold you, I'll scold you!" Shadowfiend was a rare sight to find someone he could bully. Seeing that Gold didn't resist loudly, he immediately charged forward to bully.

"Shut up!" Zi Ling let out a cold cry, immediately extinguishing the shadow demon's arrogant aura.
