Demon King's Pampered Wife

C49 Oracle Place(part Ii)

"It's good that you're fine." After all, the other side had sent him across the river twice. Without it, he wouldn't be able to cross the river at all.

The giant rat turned its head to look at the sky on the other side of the forest. "Human, if you want to leave, you have to leave as soon as possible."

The purple silk followed its line of sight and saw that sand and dust had been swept up into the sky by the storm, brewing with terrifying destructive energy.

Her eyebrows unconsciously knitted together, and the environment within the trial monument became increasingly strange. She wondered if Huang Ying and the rest were still cultivating in the stone forest, and seeing that the time for the trial monument to open was getting closer, she really had to go back.

After bidding farewell to the giant mouse, she quickly passed through the green forest and arrived at the edge of the wasteland.

Woo … Woo …

The sound of the wind was deafening and it possessed the power to destroy the will of others. At this moment, the boundless wasteland was completely invaded by the sandstorm. Rough sand ruthlessly struck the purple silk protective shield.

She stared at the center of the storm ahead, her heart beating rapidly. Even she did not dare to easily step on that terrifying force.

He released his soul consciousness, searching for the weakest and safest path in the storm.

"Senior sister, the storm is getting bigger and bigger, what should we do?" Gu Yuan stared fearfully at the center of the storm in the distance and tried to raise her voice.

Beside her was a dusty Liu Shuang, who, after ten days of traveling through the storm, had killed countless magic beasts and bugs. The beauty's clothes were not clean at all, and her hair was a mess.

Liu Shuang was just as scared as Gu Yuan, but she forced herself not to show it. Ever since she left with her senior brother, she and Gu Yuan had killed dozens of demonic beasts. If they didn't leave this damn place now, she would probably never be able to leave.

"Don't panic. Maybe we'll be leaving this damn place soon." She said this to Gu Yuan to comfort herself.

The sand and dust that filled the sky blocked their line of sight, and they could only barely see.

"Swish …" "Swish …"

There was a strange sound in the wind.

"Senior Sister, I seem to have heard something?" Gu Yuan moved closer to Liu Shuang, wanting to gain some sense of security.

Liu Shuang Shuang had also heard, but the two of them were alone and had no help. There was nothing they could do. She pulled Gu Yuan over, "Go, run."

No matter what, they couldn't just stand there and wait for death. Even though the two of them were on the verge of fainting due to their exhaustion, they still ran forward with all their might.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the weird sound finally faded away, and the storm around them grew bigger and bigger.

"Senior sister, what should we do?" We're going to die here! " Gu Yuan, who was trapped in the storm, had her mental defenses broken and she cried out loud.

"Shut up!" Liu Shuang gave a loud roar. Her mental defenses were on the verge of rupturing, so she kept finding courage for herself. She didn't want to hear these words at all.

Gu Yuan couldn't hear anything else and started crying loudly. Sand hit her face and covered it in tears, making her face look like a mess.

Zi Ling's divine sense had already noticed the two of them and had no intention of attacking. On the contrary, she saw Liu Shuang's psychological defenses continuously being destroyed. That kind of feeling felt pretty good!

The storm grew bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer to the two of them. The weeping Gu Yuan didn't know this, but Liu Shuang Shuang Shuang saw it, and a look of shock appeared on her face. Gu Yuan was pulled back, "Hurry and run!"

The two almost exhausted all of their strength before they finally escaped from the storm.

Gu Yuan fell to the ground. "Senior sister, I can't take it anymore."

When Liu Shuang saw that the storm was gradually weakening, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground, unconscious.

An unknown amount of time passed. Liu Shuang woke up with a start, the surroundings were still filled with sand and dust, Gu Yuan laid face down motionlessly.

She recovered some strength and stretched out her leg to kick Gu Yuan. "Junior sister …"

Gu Yuan didn't react. Liu Shuang's heart skipped a beat and immediately kicked hard. Gu Yuan still didn't react.

"Swish …" "Swish …"

At this moment, that strange sound rang out once again.

Liu Shuang suddenly jumped up from the ground, searching for the source of the sound.

"Swish …" "Swish …"

The sound grew louder and louder, and Liu Shuang's beautiful eyes were filled with fear. She continuously turned around to observe her surroundings.

Perhaps it was due to her extreme fear. When the sound was getting closer and closer, she suddenly shouted, "Get the hell out! Don't play tricks on me!"

As the sound of her voice faded, small hills of earth suddenly protruded from the flat surface of the ground, breaking apart in the blink of an eye. One sandworm after another drilled out from within.

In the blink of an eye, the sand insects blocked her way, scaring her to the point where she was sweating cold sweat. She subconsciously retreated, but just as she was about to run away, her gaze landed on Gu Yuan, who was lying motionlessly on the ground. Her conscience wavered for a moment, but then a voice in her heart told her that she didn't even respond to a few calls from Gu Yuan. She must be dead.

Right... She's dead!

Subconsciously, she turned around and fled.

There were only a few scattered bugs behind her. As long as she moved fast enough and took care of them, she would be able to escape the encirclement. She would be able to live.

"Swish …" "Swish …"

The sounds of the swarm of bugs got closer and closer to Gu Yuan, and a small sand bug slowly wrapped itself around Gu Yuan's body.

Gu Yuan suddenly woke up when she felt the pain.

"Senior sister, save me …" Gu Yuan struggled hard and shouted at Liu Shuang, who was fighting the Sand Worms.

Liu Shuang Shuang trembled when she heard the voice. She turned around and saw Gu Yuan's body being entangled by bugs. Her face revealed a pained expression as she looked at her with eyes full of hope.

"I'm sorry, I can't save you!" After Liu Shuang said this, she suddenly turned her gaze away and used all her strength to get rid of the last sand bug that was in her way. She then ran deeper into the empty wasteland.

Gu Yuan had already forgotten the pain from her body as she looked at the big figure shrinking into a black dot. He was puzzled, [Why did Senior Sister abandon me so ruthlessly?] He didn't even try to fight for himself.

The bugs grew tighter and tighter, and the feeling of suffocation became increasingly intense. After cultivating for more than ten years, she had always thought that she had great talent, but she never thought that she would die here.

Heh … Hehe …

Gu Yuan raised her head and laughed. After laughing for a while, she coughed a few times and her expression became worse.

Am I going to die...

"Tch!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the back of his head, filled with contempt. She tried to look back, but she couldn't move. A desire to live suddenly rose in her heart. She did not want to die. She wanted to live on.

Just as her consciousness was about to dissipate, the insect killer that was tightly wrapped around her body softened. She followed suit and fell to the ground. Vaguely, she saw a figure nimbly shuttling through the swarm of bugs, like a reaper's scythe, effortlessly harvesting the worms' lives.

When her consciousness returned to the darkness, that figure had left an indelible and powerful impression in her heart.

Beep... Beep

The burning branches emitted a slight crackling sound, waking Gu Yuan up from her slumber. She turned her head to look for the figure, but saw nothing but a fire.

She struggled to sit up on her arms and struggled to lift her hand to touch her face. It's not an illusion.

"You're awake?" Footsteps sounded behind her as Gu Yuan's body froze. She turned around and looked at the purple silk. "It's you!"

Her expression was very complicated. All her knowledge had been overturned and reorganized, causing her to have a feeling of confusion.

Zi Ling chuckled. "I didn't expect that your senior sister whom you admire and admire would abandon you and leave you behind. Yet, I, an eccentric and cold person, would actually save you. Is my view of the world being turned upside down?" This was the reason why she saved Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded with great difficulty. "I was wrong before. I didn't think you would save me, thank you!"

This' thank you 'was a little out of Zi Ling's expectations. "You don't have to thank me. I saved you because I wanted to see your conflicted appearance."

Gu Yuan raised her head and looked at her. Under the light of the fire, her beautiful face had a hint of confidence that she could despise all living things.

"No matter what, I thank you. In the past, it was my eyes that were too narrow-minded and had misjudged you." Gu Yuan sincerely apologized.

Yet, Zi Ling merely smiled, not moving at all. "You didn't see wrongly. If you didn't find it interesting and wanted to piss off Liu Shuang, I wouldn't have saved you."

Gu Yuan was choked by her honest words and pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. But suddenly it seemed to her that this naked candor was more real than this hypocritical friendliness. Somehow, in her heart, she felt a little better towards this senior sister who didn't like to talk much.

Goo...

Gu Yuan's stomach cried out in hunger, causing her to blush slightly as she lowered her head even more.

Zi Ling glanced at her. "If you want to eat something, then go find it in the forest. I have no obligation to serve you well." As he spoke, he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to take a nap.

Gu Yuan moved her arm. She realized that her injuries recovered very quickly and even a lot of her strength recovered. As long as she didn't encounter a high level magical beast, she would be able to protect herself. He stood up and walked unsteadily into the forest.

Previously, Gu Yuan hadn't eaten for three days and had multiple injuries. As she walked, she checked her wound and found that it had actually healed quite a bit.

What was going on?

Suddenly, Zi Ling's face appeared in her mind. 'Was it senior sister who treated me?' Mm, that must be it!

The purple silk became more and more mysterious and omnipotent in her heart.

She didn't know why, but the fear that had been lingering in her heart all this time gradually disappeared. With light steps, she began to search the forest, and soon enough, she found some mushrooms and a low level magical beast.

When she returned, Zi Ling was still sitting by the tree with her eyes closed. Gu Yuan looked at her stealthily, then quietly took care of the demon beast.

Usually, apart from cultivating, she would also like to cook. After taking care of everything, she quickly finished off the mushrooms and the magical beasts.

Her Mysterious Treasure was a cauldron, and at this moment, she took it out and placed it on top of the fire, placing the water, mushroom, and demon beast meat into the fire one by one.

Not long after, a faint fragrance drifted out, and the purple ribbon gently moved its nose with its eyes closed.

Footsteps gradually sounded. Zi Ling knew that Gu Yuan was standing in front of her, but she was too lazy to open her eyes.

"Senior, Senior Sister, please eat something." Gu Yuan carefully said as she held the Tang Chong Purple Ribbon in anticipation.

Zi Ling moved and found a comfortable position. "I'm not hungry."

Gu Yuan's expression froze, then she smiled like nothing had happened. "Then senior sister can eat again when she's hungry!"
