The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Looking at this scene, Su Qingning couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in her eyes. She had thought that only the Earth in the 22nd century had such advanced technology, but she didn't expect to see such a sci-fi scene in this backward ancient time.

It seems that the fantasy world is really full of wonders!

After sighing in her heart, Su Qingning followed the Su family team into the stone archway.

As soon as she walked into the stone archway, Su Qingning felt a darkness in front of her eyes, followed by a dizzying feeling. When she landed on the ground, she found that the surrounding environment had changed.

Su Qingning was teleported to a forest, but this forest was very strange. Half of it was full of vitality and lush greenery, while the other half was dead and withered branches, perfectly presenting two extreme phenomena.

As luck would have it, Su Qingning was teleported to the very center. The left side was full of vitality, cool and refreshing, while the right side was desolate, dilapidated, hot and irritating.

According to normal people's thinking, they would definitely choose the left side, but Su Qingning thought of the information revealed by Mo Lintian last night, and then decisively chose the right side.

Vermilion Bird is of the fire element and prefers hot places. The temperature around its nest must be extremely high.

Looking at the trees that had obviously lost their vitality and turned into dead wood due to the high temperature, and feeling the increasingly high temperature in the air, Su Qingning had an intuition that the Vermillion Bird's nest was most likely just ahead.

At the same time, other people were also teleported to different places, and Mo Lintian was very lucky to be teleported near the Vermillion Bird's Nest. However, he was opposite Su Qingning, and the two were perfectly separated by the Vermillion Bird's Nest.

Of course, Mo Lintian was lucky but also very unlucky, because Su Jingya and he were teleported to the same area; if nothing unexpected happened, they would meet within a day.

Because it was already afternoon when the disciples of the five major families entered the secret realm, they had only walked for an hour or two when the sky gradually darkened. They had no choice but to find a safe place to rest for a while.

In the past one or two hours, many disciples encountered magical beasts and earned some points, but some disciples have not yet made any progress. For example, Su Qingning chose the direction of the Vermillion Bird's nest. Under the combined effects of high temperature and the pressure of the magical beast, she has not encountered any magical beast so far, so her points are still zero.

Although the score was zero, Su Qingning did not feel disappointed at all. Instead, she was in a good mood because all these signs made her more certain that the Vermillion Bird's nest was nearby.

Su Qingning walked forward slowly. As it was getting dark, she decided to find a place to rest.

However, the temperature here was a bit high, which made Su Qingning feel a little irritated. In order to spend a wonderful night, Su Qingning took out her magic wand and released an ice magic skill.

"Ice Prison"

"Bang bang bang bang!" Four ice walls fell from the sky, surrounding Su Qingning in the middle.

In an instant, the high temperature disappeared, replaced by coolness and comfort. The irritability caused by the heat in Su Qingning's heart also slowly disappeared, and her heart slowly calmed down.

Seeing how much hardship Su Qingning had endured in search of Suzaku, Jiuwei in the space suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He transmitted a voice with some jealousy: "Young Master, you already have me, why do you still want to contract Suzaku? I am also an ancient mythical beast, no worse than Suzaku."

The sourness in Jiuwei's tone was about to overflow, and Su Qingning knew what he was thinking. She couldn't help but feel a little amused.

"Ninetail, whether I contract Suzaku or not, you are a very important partner to me." Su Qingning first soothed Ninetail in a soft voice before explaining, "As for why I contracted Suzaku, firstly, it's because of a promise I made to a friend; secondly, Suzaku is a divine beast that can improve my combat effectiveness and give me an extra trump card; finally, by contracting Suzaku, I can become the young master of the Su family, which makes some people unhappy, and I'm very happy to do it."

After hearing Su Qingning's words, Jiuwei's unhappiness immediately disappeared. He said awkwardly, "Young Master, you are also a very important person in my life."

"Yeah." Su Qingning nodded with a smile in her eyes, then she sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes and began to practice.

……

On the other side, Mo Lintian found a cave. He used a night pearl to illuminate the cave, and after making sure there was no danger inside, he walked in.

The temperature around was a bit high, and there was a hint of dryness in the air, but Mo Lintian seemed to feel nothing. Not only did he not sweat at all, but there was even a hint of coolness emanating from his body.

This was all because Mo Lintian was carrying a treasure on his body, which was the ten thousand year old ice jade.

The most obvious function of the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade is to reduce temperature. As long as you carry the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade, you will not be affected by it no matter how hot the place is. Of course, if an ice-attribute magician carries the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade, it will also help with cultivation and accelerate the absorption of ice elements.

Originally, Mo Lintian went to Jinyuan to find Su Qingning last night to give her the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade, but was rejected by Su Qingning.

At that time, when Su Qingning learned from Mo Lintian that Suzaku liked hot places, she knew that the temperature near Suzaku's nest must be extremely high.

Therefore, when Mo Lintian wanted to give her the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade, she was moved; but after learning that Mo Lintian was also going to participate in the trial of the five major families, Su Qingning decisively rejected Mo Lintian's gift.

"Why not?" Seeing Su Qingning refuse his gift, Mo Lintian was confused and disappointed.

"Because you need it more than I do." Su Qingning explained, "You also said that the secret realm is randomly teleported. I have ice spiritual roots, so even if I am teleported to the vicinity of the Suzaku nest, I can use the ice element to cool down. But you are different. You don't have ice spiritual roots. If you give me the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade, what will you do if you are teleported to the vicinity of the Suzaku nest?"

Hearing that Su Qingning's words were all about thinking about him, Mo Lintian felt warm in his heart. In the end, despite Su Qingning's rejection, he still took back the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade.

"Xiao Ning'er, I'm very happy that you're thinking of me, but the Ten Thousand Year Frost Jade is a gift from me to you. I hope you'll accept it after the Five Great Family Trials are over."

Looking at Mo Lintian's gentle eyes, Su Qingning couldn't bear to refuse anymore. She slowly nodded in agreement, "Okay~"

The memory in his mind stayed on the way Su Qingning nodded obediently. Mo Lintian pictured her facial features in his mind. His heart slowly softened, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, little Ning'er, I really want to take you back and hide you~"

Mo Lintian murmured softly, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing. At this moment, his heart and eyes were filled with only Su Qingning.
