Demon King's Pampered Wife

C59 Return to the Divine Profound Gate(part Iii)

Zi Ling looked at its battered and exhausted appearance. The black fog had been completely swallowed up, leaving only a few wisps floating in the air. "Alright, if you want to eat then eat quickly. We have limited time."

She did not forget that the black hole was unstable. Even though it had her own spiritual energy, she did not know how long it could last.

The Shadow Devil couldn't wait any longer. With Zi Ling's order, it immediately pounced towards the demon and started gorging itself.

Zi Ling also sat cross-legged on the ground and started recovering by swallowing pills.

After an unknown period of time, the chewing sound gradually weakened and Zi Ling slowly opened her eyes.

"Master, you're awake?" The Shadow Demon was extremely excited. The moment it opened its mouth, it let out a "burp" sound, which was extremely loud.

Zi Ling raised her head to look at him and discovered that the black fog surrounding him was even denser than before. Furthermore, the range of his aura had been expanded by a fold. "It seems that you ate quite well. You are quite fat."

Shadow Devil laughed, "Hehe, follow Master and you will have meat to eat."

"It's good that you know this!" Zi Ling stood up. "If you do as I tell you in the future, you'll definitely have your own benefits. If you put me in danger before you do, I don't think you'll want to try out my tricks, right?"

The Shadow Devil's laughter faltered. "No, I don't. Master, don't worry. In the future, even if we climb mountains of blades or descend seas of fire, I, the Shadow Devil, will definitely be the first to scout for Master."

"En," Zi Ling nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, it's time for us to leave this place."

At this moment, the hole had shrunk down to only half of its original size.

Zi Ling's expression changed, "Hurry up and leave!" She was the first to rush into the black hole.

The man and the devil quickly passed through the black hole. When the sunlight shone down on her, they suddenly had an illusion. It was as if everything on the trial monument was just a dream.

"Ye Ling, you're finally out."

Zi Ling opened her eyes, and what entered her eyes was Huang Ying, who had a relaxed expression.

Zi Ling's gaze swept across the empty plaza. Only Huang Ying was left, so she asked, "Where are the others?" She didn't seem to have stayed in the room for long. Why was everyone but Huang Ying gone?

Huang Ying's originally happy expression instantly turned heavy, "The sect leader saw that the trial monument quickly closed after restarting, so he took the risk to open the tunnel. As a result, he suffered a backlash and was sent back to the Great Cliffs Palace."

So that's how it is. No wonder there's no one here. At the same time, she recalled that when the monolith had closed, the invisible force that had supported it had not given up, even though it was insignificant.

She gently shook her head. The existence of such a sect master in the Divine Profound Sect was the good news for these disciples. As long as Huo Zhen was a little selfish, then perhaps everyone, including himself, would die within the trial monument.

Over the next two days, Zi Ling was busy learning about Deacon Ou's situation and then learning from Huang Ying that Huo Zhen's situation was getting worse and worse.

Thinking about how Huo Zhen had treated his disciples and how he had taken care of her, she hesitated. Finally, she pushed open the door and walked in the direction of the Great Precipice Palace.

"Sister Ye!" Following her appearance, the elite disciples of the Divine Profound Sect opened up a path one after another. The gazes they used to look at her were filled with reverence and they also had a sliver of a reliance that even they themselves could not detect.

Zi Ling nodded slightly. She did not reveal much emotion as her gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Huo Zhen, who was lying on a stone bed. His eyes were tightly shut and his face was ashen white. His purplish lips were trembling slightly, as if he was suffering from pain.

Elder Lin shook his head, "The sect leader had suffered from the backlash twice, and his body was severely injured. Unless we find the Xuan King to help, he's in danger."

"Ye Ling, quickly come over. Do you still have any of those pills? Quickly feed them to the head of the sect." His thoughts were pure and simple. Seeing Ye Ling, he thought of the pill he had taken the last time he was injured. It was extremely magical, being able to restore his broken meridians and regenerate his bones in a short period of time.

Zi Ling didn't reply. Instead, she walked to Huo Zhen's side and used her finger to feel his pulse. She discovered that his pulse was weak and that his injuries were indeed incurable.

"How is it?" Zhao Ting and the rest gathered around. If there was anyone else in the Mysterious God Sect who had a solution, it must be Ye Ling.

Zi Ling shook her head and stood up. "The backlash from the Sect Leader is too severe, I can't do anything right now …"

At this point, everyone in the hall fell silent, looking in Huo Zhen's direction with eyes filled with grief.

"But... Give me some time, I think I have a way to save him! " He had consumed too much energy in the trial monument. Not only had he used up all the pills that could recover their spirit energy, there was not even a single Snow Pellet remaining.

As soon as she finished speaking, a few of the grief-stricken elders stepped forward. "You really have a way?"

Zi Ling faced the elders and nodded. "Even though I'm not 100% sure, I'm 80% sure."

Eighty percent … To be injured by this sort of backlash, it was already quite impressive for her to have two to three layers. She actually had eighty percent of it, and everyone's mouths were wide open.

Elder Lin looked her up and down. He knew that she was the heaven's pride level expert of the Ye Clan who had endured the longest in the Celestial Dragon Pool and possessed the Golden Phoenix Physique. He immediately asked in a low voice, "Ye Ling, is what you said true?"

She had a good impression of these old men. She slowly said: "Whether it is true or not, we will see in a few days." With that, she drew a circle with her hands, forcing the spiritual energy out of her body and guiding it into Huo Zhen's body. With the protection of the spiritual energy, he should not be in any danger for a short period of time.

When Elder Lin and the others heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. "Ye Ling, tell us what you need."

"I just happen to need a few elders to help me find some medicinal materials." Zi Ling told them the medicinal ingredients they needed, and the rest were all in the Mysterious God Sect. Only the main medicine, Snow Bodhi, was hard to find, even in the entire Stellar Kingdom.

After leaving the Great Precipice Palace, Zi Ling summoned the Shadow Devil, "Where did you find that snow lotus seed last time?"

The fog surrounding the Shadow Devil was much denser than before, and the Demonic Qi was surging, showing off its domineering aura. It coughed, "Hmm, let me think …"

"Hurry up and think about it." Zi Ling was indeed a bit concerned about Huo Zhen's life and death, because he was completely different from her previous beast-like master. She felt that such a person was worth saving.

"I've thought of it, I've thought of it …" "It's an auction house."

Zi Ling quickly stood up, "Let's go, lead the way."

The Shadow Devil aggressively dispersed the demon aura and made a path in front of him.

"Turn into a human, do you want to be exterminated by righteous people?" Zi Ling coldly said to the arrogant Shadow Devil.

The black mist stopped and changed into Chu Feng's appearance, fawning on him, "Master is indeed thoughtful."

Seeing the Shadow Devil using Chu Feng's face to make such an expression made her feel very happy. However, at the same time, she understood that the Chu Clan was one of the Five Great Clans and many people recognized Chu Feng's face.

"Change one. Change it to a girl you don't know."

Whoosh …

The elegant young master Chu Feng turned into a girl with a ponytail. Shadowfiend held up his flowery skirt and turned it around, "Master, can I act like this?"

Zi Ling's appearance was average, and she didn't have much of an impression of it. She nodded, "Then that's it!"

The two of them walked down the mountain one after another. The young girl's legs were short and the purple silk was very fast. From a distance, the young girl in the flowery dress was chasing after the peerless beauty.

"Wait, master, wait for me." The Shadow Devil continued to shout, but its master did not show any mercy, and its speed did not decrease in the slightest.

The two of them walked into the Bai Yuan City and arrived at the Treasure Pavilion under the leadership of the Shadow Devil.

The young gatekeeper still remembered Zi Ling. Because of her master's instructions, she immediately came up to Zi Ling with enthusiasm. "Miss, you're here." After calling his way into the restaurant, he immediately ordered some people to make tea and serve some snacks.

After the Shadow Devil sat down, it began to eat while grabbing something that had nothing to do with it. Zi Ling's gaze swept the area and she asked, "Do you have Xue Buti?"

"Miss, are you here for Snow Bodhi?" "I won't hide it from you, lady. This Snow Bodhi is extremely rare, and the Treasure Pavilion has paid an enormous price to acquire that one."

According to the instructions of her boss, if that young lady had come again and traded the pills, she would have received many benefits. But the other party actually wanted Xue Puti, who the Treasure Pavilion didn't have.

Kengchi kengchi … In the entire hall, only the Shadow Devil's voice could be heard. The young woman was stunned for a moment before she ordered someone to serve some tea, "Little girl, take your time."

The Shadow Devil was delighted, these human things were really delicious.

Zi Ling glanced at the Shadow Devil before withdrawing her gaze. She then turned to the young girl and asked, "Then do you know where Xue Buti is?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. She was about to say something when the Shadow Devil swallowed down all the food. "As long as you help us find Xue Puti, you'll get your own pills."

The young lady's eyes lit up. He can even obtain a pill by providing information?

"This …" She obviously didn't believe it as she turned her head to look at Zi Ling. Zi Ling looked at the ingratiating Shadow Devil and took out a bottle of pills, "En, as long as your information is reliable, this pill will be yours."

Last time, she had only exchanged a single bottle for a single one, but now, all she had to do was provide information and she would be able to get a single bottle. She was extremely excited and immediately stretched out her hand to receive it, but it was blocked by the Shadow Devil, "That …" It wanted to tell its' rich owner 'that it didn't need that much, so it would handle the matter easily.

However, he didn't expect that the young girl would be so clever. She extended her hand to receive the bottle in Zi Ling's hand. "Thank you, Miss. That Snow Bodhi Treasure Pavilion was discovered by the Beast Race's Goddess Sea."

"Beast race?" Zi Ling frowned.

Watching from the side, the Shadow Devil's heart ached, he wanted to reach out to grab the bottle in the girl's hand, he kept chanting, "That … "That …"

The young girl saw that it had something on its mind and immediately kept the bottle. At that moment, Zi Ling turned around and walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Shadow Devil's face contorted in anger. If its master was not here, it might have rushed forward to snatch the bottle back.

"You're welcome to come again!" The young girl stared at the Shadow Devil, obviously intending to send him off.

Shadowfiend gritted his teeth, "Okay, you, okay!" It could not speak of its pain. It seemed that in the future, it would have to run errands for its master, and it would be able to cut more than half of it from the middle.

Master of a spendthrift! How can you be so extravagant...

The Beast Race was too far away. Zi Ling did not plan to travel alone while she was still not strong enough to rule the world. She did not believe that Xue Puti was the only family in the entire Hundred Origin City.

Thus, she went from house to house in search of Xue Puti's whereabouts.

He had just taken a few steps out of another auction house when a strange voice called out from behind him, "Miss Ye, Miss Ye!"
