The Devil's Tribulation

Nanzhou Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Realm.

Inside the Emperor Soul Beast's cave.

More than ten days have passed since Xueyou last woke up.

During this time, in order not to disturb Xue You's rest, Pan Chengfeng simply began to study the 'Netherworld King's Prison Suppression Technique'.

To be honest, after studying this cultivation method for more than ten days, Pan Chengfeng felt that it was quite suitable for him to cultivate. Apart from needing demonic energy, he had all the other conditions.

For example, one's physical strength must reach the Demon King level (corresponding to the Bone Refining Realm for Body Refiners and the Divine Transformation Realm for Cultivators).

The strength must reach more than two million jin, and a high-level magical beast's crystal core is also required.

Pan Chengfeng has all these conditions met, so Xue You no longer needs the eighth-order magic core of the Emperor Soul Beast, which benefits Pan Chengfeng.

The demon race is divided into nine realms from lowest to highest: Demon Human, Demon Soldier, Demon Warrior, Demon General, Demon King, Demon Commander, Demon Lord, Demon Sovereign, and Demon God.

This corresponds exactly to the nine realms of cultivators and body refiners.

However, the demon race has an overwhelming advantage in combat power among those of the same level.

Because the physical strength of demons is naturally incredibly strong, dozens of times that of humans and several times that of monsters.

Pan Chengfeng had almost finished studying the martial arts manual and wanted to get up and try it out, but Xueyou clung to him like an octopus, making it impossible for him to move at all.

Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "You've completely drained me, there's not a drop left. Your clinging won't change anything."

Xueyou woke up half a day ago, but kept pretending to be asleep while clinging to Pan Chengfeng. Although she knew she couldn't fool him, Xueyou still did it. Aren't all women like that?

Hearing Pan Chengfeng's words, Xue You wasn't embarrassed at all, and lazily replied, "What nonsense are you talking about! I still have questions for you..."

Upon hearing this, Pan Chengfeng knew that trouble was brewing.

Sure enough, Xueyou immediately asked about marriage.

Xueyou, her face flushed with a shy smile, asked, "We...we're already like this, when will my husband propose marriage?"

"Everything's like this now?! It's just kissing and touching, right?!" Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "The women in this world are too conservative; I need to really explore them a bit~"

Pan Chengfeng didn't want to take responsibility for the time being, and once he left, he pretended that nothing had happened.

But seeing the hopeful look in Xueyou's beautiful eyes, his heart softened, and he thought to himself, "No, no, I can't be such a jerk!"

Pan Chengfeng thought for a while and decided to stall for time, since there were still several others waiting outside anyway.

So he replied, "I suppose you know something about my situation, Bao'er?"

Xue You's bright, sparkling eyes fixed on Pan Chengfeng as she nodded, saying, "I know, but it's alright. I can accept them. It's just that my husband can no longer philander, otherwise..."

"Damn it!" Pan Chengfeng cursed inwardly, "Another one trying to control me?!"

Pan Chengfeng wanted to object, but considering Xue You's strength... he could only temporarily give up resisting and said with a forced smile, "Haha, of course, having you all is enough."

Especially you, my darling, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, how could your husband not be satisfied?

Pan Chengfeng's sweet words instantly filled Xueyou's heart.

Xueyou blushed and continued to ask, "When will my husband propose marriage?"

"There's no escaping it now," Pan Chengfeng sighed and replied, "Alas, I also want to marry you all as soon as possible."

But after this competition, I have some very important business to attend to and need to travel far away, so... so I have to postpone it for now~

Upon hearing this, Xueyou's pretty face immediately fell, and the surrounding air seemed to change with her emotions.

Pan Chengfeng immediately sensed that something was wrong and was about to start making excuses again.

Xue You's cold voice rang out: "If you dare to betray me, I will kill you first, and then commit suicide!"

Pan Chengfeng was terrified; he was afraid Xue You would go mad!

He quickly reassured her, "Baby, don't misunderstand! How could your husband possibly let you down!"

"I also long to consummate our marriage right now, and then enjoy a carefree and happy life with you all, but..."

"But what?" Xueyou asked anxiously, "I can do anything for you!"

Pan Chengfeng felt a warmth in his heart, but although Xue You was very beautiful and had a great figure, she was a bit stiff.

If he were married off too early, wouldn't he be unable to even leave the house?

Pan Chengfeng wanted to enjoy himself in this world for several hundred more years, or even several thousand... well, the longer the better!

Pan Chengfeng could imagine that the day Xue You entered the door was the day she put a lock on him, and it was an invincible titanium alloy tungsten steel lock!

Pan Chengfeng couldn't afford to sacrifice an entire forest for a few trees, so he gently stroked Xue You's pretty face and coaxed, "I can handle my own affairs, how can I let you take such a risk?"

Xueyou grasped Pan Chengfeng's large hand and softly replied, "This concubine is willing~"

Pan Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Even if you're willing, I wouldn't be able to bear it. After the competition, I'm going to go to the other side of the Endless Sea."

Xueyou asked in surprise, "You're going to the Heavenly Spirit Continent?"

Pan Chengfeng said solemnly, "That's right, I heard that the area is rich in resources and spiritual energy."

"I possess the Primordial Sacred Body, and on the Proud Sky Continent, I can only cultivate to the Void Refinement Realm at most. Only by going there will I have a chance to break through to the Body Integration Realm."

Xueyou bit her lip and said, "I have also heard of that continent, but it seems fraught with danger for my husband to go alone. Why don't I accompany you?"

Pan Chengfeng quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Bao'er, think about it. Your cold poison is an unstable factor."

If it suddenly flares up, wouldn't we be at their mercy in an unfamiliar place?

Xue You's beautiful eyes slowly dimmed, and she asked with a slightly tearful voice, "Do you think I'll be a burden to you?"

Pan Chengfeng hurriedly hugged Xueyou and comforted her, saying, "What are you saying, my darling? How could I possibly dislike you?"

However, given your condition, it is indeed not advisable for you to travel far. If you stay at the Jade Maiden Sect, you will be protected by your master and ancestor, so even if the cold poison flares up, you will not be afraid.

Moreover, my husband is only scouting ahead this time; it won't take long, and he'll be back within a hundred years.

Xueyou stroked Pan Chengfeng's chest and said in a pitiful voice, "After this competition, Master and Ancestor will find me a husband..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pan Chengfeng jumped up, roaring, "They dare?! Who's the daredevil?!"

Seeing how much Pan Chengfeng cared about her, Xueyou was naturally very happy and replied softly, "This concubine dares not disobey the decrees of Master and Ancestor. What should I do if the two elders arrange a marriage?"

Pan Chengfeng said angrily, "Don't worry, after this competition, I'll accompany you back to the Jade Maiden Sect first to settle the marriage!"

Xueyou was overjoyed and immediately wrapped her arms around Pan Chengfeng's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.

After a brief exchange of pleasure, Pan Chengfeng, having thoroughly enjoyed himself, said, "Are you relieved now?"

Xueyou nodded shyly and asked, "When does my husband plan to set the date for our marriage?"

Pan Chengfeng considered for a moment and said, "Let's wait until I reach the Divine Realm, then I'll marry eight at once~ Haha~~"

Xueyou was taken aback, and then that chill returned.

Pan Chengfeng shivered and looked at Xue You, who had just been blushing but was now cold-faced, and asked, "Bao'er, what's wrong?"

Xueyou did not answer, but pushed Pan Chengfeng away forcefully and began to dress and tie her hair.

Pan Chengfeng pressed Xue You for an answer several times, but she ignored him.

After dressing properly, Xueyou put away the array flags and walked straight out of the cave.

At this moment, Pan Chengfeng was also dressed and hurriedly chased after her, grabbing Xueyou's little hand and asking, "Bao'er, where are you going?"

Xue You shook off Pan Chengfeng's large hand and said calmly, "I will kill Liu Yuexin first, and then I will kill your other women after the competition is over!"

Pan Chengfeng felt a 'boom' in his mind, as if an atomic bomb had exploded inside him, leaving him completely dizzy.

Xueyou ignored Pan Chengfeng's reaction and flew away in her escape light.

Pan Chengfeng was stunned for a long time before exclaiming, "Oh no!! This crazy woman, we can't let her go to Xin'er!"

Pan Chengfeng hurriedly set up his escape light and activated his lightning escape technique, catching up with Xue You in just two breaths.

Pan Chengfeng blocked Xue You's path, glaring at her angrily, and said, "What's wrong with you?! You knew I had other women before!"

Xue You reverted to her initial icy expression, her beautiful eyes fixed on Pan Chengfeng as she coldly said, "I've changed my mind, is that not allowed?!"

"You!" Pan Chengfeng was speechless with anger. Recalling what Xue You had said before her attitude changed, he vaguely understood something.

Pan Chengfeng looked into Xue You's cold, beautiful eyes and said, "I understand what you mean, Bao'er, but I cannot agree to this."

"What else is there to say? Get out of the way!" Xue You's murderous aura burst forth, her pretty face radiating a terrifying chill.

Pan Chengfeng retorted, "Impossible! Unless you kill me!"

Xue You formed hand seals and said coldly, "You really think I wouldn't dare to make a move? Then die! Frostbite - Heart Chill!"

Pan Chengfeng's expression changed drastically. He clutched his heart with one hand, staring at Xue You in disbelief, and said, "You really...really...went to kill..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pan Chengfeng's vision went black, and he plummeted from a height of over 3,000 meters.

Xueyou glanced at a spot several kilometers away and said calmly, "Take good care of him." Then she flew away without looking back.

Hei Wu dodged and caught the falling Pan Chengfeng, muttering, "What's going on with these two? They were inseparable before, how come they turned on each other so suddenly?"

Although Hei Wu remained outside the formation, he couldn't see what was happening inside.

But it wasn't stupid. A man and a woman had been alone in the cave for over a month. Based on its understanding of Pan Chengfeng, something indescribable must have happened.

"Forget it, why should I care so much about him?"

Hei Wu carried Pan Chengfeng back to the cave, sniffing the air around him and saying, "Sure enough! This kid is a menace. No wonder that woman went berserk!"
