Chapter 446: Sleeping in the Living Room
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two demonic path people in the cave instantly raised their vigilance.
A gust of cold wind blew past. That boss searched the cave and didn’t discover anything.
“B… Boss, did you find anything?”
“What are you afraid of? We are people of the demonic path. Only others are afraid of us. If someone dares to be impudent in front of us, see if I don’t suck all his blood essence dry.”
“Keke, Keke…”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
“Ouch ~ ~ ~”
“Ouch ~ ~ ~”
“Whoever dares to be impudent in front of me? Come out. Otherwise…”
“Or else what?”
A clear voice sounded in the dark cave, echoing.
In the next second, a few balls of flames burned in the dark cave.
The flames instantly lit up the entire cave, and the two people of the Demon Realm standing in the dark had nowhere to hide.
When the two of them saw the woman standing in the flames, the short figure let out a sharp and frightened voice and said in a loud voice, “B-b-b-b-b-boss, that person looks like the future High Priestess of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies.”
The person referred to as ‘boss’ was tall and had horns on his head. His voice was even gloomier than before. “What do you mean by ‘looks like’? She is indeed the future High Priestess of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies.”
“Looks like you have good eyesight.”
Feng Ling glanced at the group of unconscious youngsters in the corner and asked coldly, “Where do you want to take these people? To whom do you want to feed their blood essence?”
The boss immediately replied fearlessly, “To our demon king, of course.”
“Hmph! I hate lying people the most. Since you’re not telling the truth, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“You haven’t become a High Priestess. Do you think the two of us can’t beat you alone?”
“Then try it.”
After Feng Ling finished speaking, she threw out a talisman.
The figures of the two people from the demonic path flashed. Two rays of black aura converged into a huge bear-like Black Devil. The Black Devil instantly occupied one-third of the cave.
The Black Devil opened his dark mouth and wanted to swallow Feng Ling.
A whip appeared in Feng Ling’s hand and she whipped the Black Devil with raging flames.
Pa!
“Ouch~~”
An angry voice resounded throughout the entire cave, shaking the cave until gravel kept falling down.
Feng Ling lashed out two more times and quickly dispersed the transformed Black Devil.
Two bodies slammed into the stone wall at the same time. After two bangs, a miserable scream resounded in the cave.
“Shut up!”
Feng Ling dodged the stone that fell from above her head. After shouting angrily, she threw two talismans and sealed their mouths.
The two people from the demonic path didn’t expect Chu Luo to be so powerful, to actually break through the magical beast they had conjured with demonic aura so quickly.
Seeing that things weren’t looking good, that boss decided to abandon his underling. He turned into a streak of demonic aura and wanted to escape.
However, when the demonic aura reached the hole, it seemed to have hit an iron wall. After a loud bang, it was thrown back.
“Ouch ~ ~ ~”
His body fell heavily to the ground.
Feng Ling pursed her lips into a cold smile. She threw a talisman towards him, rooting him to the ground.
“Tell me, who do you plan to give these people to?”
“To…”
“Do you know the use of this talisman of mine? As long as you dare to lie, you will suffer the pain of the flames of hell burning your heart. You can try.”
The boss broke out in a cold sweat.
“I’ll say, I’ll say. It’s… Ouch…”
Feng Ling watched as the person in front of her seemed to have been severely attacked and quickly turned into nothingness. Her expression froze. Just as she was about to control the other person, that person also turned into a trace of black aura and disappeared.
Feng Ling’s face darkened.
She didn’t sense any more powerful black aura nearby. There was only one reason why these two people from the demonic path suddenly disappeared, and that was that they couldn’t say Feng Lan’s name.
It was as if there was really an invisible restriction.
This made her wonder. “Are we really going to proceed according to the original development trajectory of the matter?”
At the thought of this, she whipped the stone wall beside her.
Boom…
Seeing the stones quickly fall, Feng Ling raised her arm. After she used a trace of the priest’s power, the press button seemed to have been pressed in the entire space.
She walked out of the stone cave.
A group of experts and guards stood outside the cave.
The king and Assistant Minister Wu stood in the crowd.
When the king saw Feng Ling come out, he immediately walked over.
Feng Ling said to him, “You can go in and save them.”
The king said, “Go in and save them.”
A group of experts and guards was led in by Assistant Minister Wu.
The king looked at Feng Ling’s expression and immediately realized that something was wrong with her mood. He asked, “What happened?”
Feng Ling looked up at him. “There are only two little demons here. The real mastermind hasn’t been caught.”
The king frowned. “I’ll order everyone in the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies to avoid going out at night and be vigilant.”
Feng Ling nodded. “During the Spring Festival the day after tomorrow, I’ll also pray for the young men of our Kingdom of the Phoenix Skies.”
The king raised his hand to touch her cheek. “This isn’t good for your health. You haven’t inherited the position of High Priestess yet. Using too much priest power will damage your body constitution.”
Feng Ling’s face subconsciously rubbed against his palm. When she reacted, she saw a trace of joy in the king’s eyes and stopped in her tracks.
The king let go of her cheek.
At this moment, Assistant Minister Wu brought everyone out of the cave.
Assistant Minister Wu walked up to the two of them and reported, “Your Majesty, Priestess, there are a total of 40 people inside.”
“40!”
Feng Ling’s face darkened. When the two of them looked at her, she said, “Previously, the two demonic path people said that they captured 49 people. Moreover, I heard that they’ve captured these people for someone to absorb their blood essence.”
When he heard this, the king’s expression darkened. Assistant Minister Wu said angrily, “The other nine must have been given to that demonic path person they mentioned. I’m afraid they’re out of luck.”
The king said to Assistant Minister Wu, “Send someone to continue searching. If they can’t find them, get the prime minister to personally come and comfort the families of those nine people.”
“Yes.”
Assistant Minister Wu bowed to the king and sent these people away with his men.
The king and Feng Ling also walked towards Green River County.
This time, in the carriage that the two of them were in, Feng Ling had been very quiet. The king looked at her with his wise eyes.
When they arrived at the courtyard where they were staying tonight, Feng Ling asked, “Which room do I stay in?”
She wanted to immediately go to her room and ask the paper effigies she had sent to monitor Feng Lan if those people had been sent to Feng Lan.
However, the king suddenly looked at her with his deep eyes and said, “The rooms are prepared by Granny Wang. You can go and see which one is yours.”
After Feng Ling glanced at him suspiciously, she walked towards the room.
This courtyard wasn’t big. Even the guards stayed elsewhere.
After Feng Ling pushed open the only few rooms to take a look, she returned to the king’s side and looked at him awkwardly. “There’s only one room.”
The king looked at her. “You sleep in the room tonight.”
“What about you?”
“I have a place to sleep.”
Feng Ling nodded and walked into the room.
After Feng Ling closed the door to the room, the king sat on a stool in the living room.
A guard came in and knelt in front of him.
The king said, “Prepare a blanket. No one is allowed to come near here tonight.”
“Yes.”
The guard stood up and quickly left.
The moment Feng Ling arrived at the room, she quickly established a connection with the paper effigies.
For the past two days, Feng Lan indeed didn’t leave that small courtyard. However, every night, there would be a very faint sound in her room.
As there was no light in Feng Lan’s room, the paper effigies couldn’t see what she did. Feng Ling didn’t pay much attention to it previously. Thinking about it now, it must be related to those young men.
She suddenly thought of the man who had walked out of Feng Lan’s room. Her gaze turned cold. “How could I have forgotten about this?”
She planned to go back and think of a way to go to Feng Lan’s room to take a look. If nothing went wrong, there must be a tunnel or something.
After investigating Feng Lan’s situation, Feng Ling saw a set of pajamas on the bed. After taking it, she realized that hot air was coming out from behind the screen beside her.
She walked around it and realized that it was a tub of bathing water. Beside the wooden barrel was a pot of flower petals.
After Feng Ling finished bathing, she suddenly wanted to see where the king was sleeping, so she subconsciously walked out.
When she saw the blanket on the stool, she looked at the man who happened to walk in with a complicated expression.
“You’re sleeping here?”
“Mm.”
Feng Ling didn’t believe that he didn’t have a place to sleep. “You can send someone to rent another courtyard.”
“No. I’m worried about you living here alone.”
Feng Ling suddenly couldn’t look him in the eye. She turned away and said, “Everyone nearby is your men. Besides, no one can do anything to me.”
The king walked up to her and raised his hand to turn her face around to face him. He leaned forward and said very close to her, “Granny Wang thinks that we’re husband and wife. What reason is there for a husband to leave his wife and sleep elsewhere?”
Feng Ling couldn’t stand the hot air coming from him and wanted to raise her head back.
In the next second, her waist was hugged. The king pressed her head against his heart and said, “I’ll sleep in the living room. As long as you don’t let me into the room, I definitely won’t enter.”
Feng Ling said angrily, “No way will I let you in!”
A loud laugh came from above her head, making her heart speed up.. Feng Ling’s face turned even redder.
