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

Chapter 196 Are you an old monster pretending to be young?

In order to reach Youcheng as quickly as possible, the Imperial Academy directly brought out one of the captive flying monsters.

At least a hundred people can stand on the back of the huge flying monster, and their team only has seventy-four people, so there is naturally more than enough space for everyone to sit down.

Because of the flying magical beasts, the original one-month journey was shortened to seven days, allowing everyone from the Imperial Academy to arrive in Youcheng three days earlier.

After the teacher put away the flying monsters, he led the Imperial Academy team to the City Lord's Mansion.

Because the Imperial Academy sends teams to Youcheng every year to help resist the demons, everyone in Youcheng has a good impression of the Imperial Academy. Youcheng Lord Zhao Yang also has a good relationship with the Imperial Academy Dean Qin Yanqing, and the two are very good friends.

Zhao Yang personally welcomed the Imperial Academy team at the city gate, and then took them to the City Lord's Mansion to stay.

There were quite a lot of people coming from the Imperial College, and the conditions in the City Lord's Mansion were limited, so it was impossible for them to live in one room each. Therefore, except for the four leading teachers, most of the students lived in a room of four or three people.

Su Qingning, Song Tian and Li Xue were all girls, so they naturally lived in the same room; as for Zhang Qing and Yu Ming, they could only share a room with two second-year seniors.

After the long journey, everyone was a little tired, so they did not go out in the afternoon and chose to rest in their rooms. In the evening, the city lord Zhao Yang specially arranged a dinner for everyone in the Imperial Academy.

The cold night wind blew into every corner of the ghost city. Except for the guards on the city wall, there was no one on the street, because the dark abyss was not far away from the city, and there were often demons wandering outside the city. Although the residents knew that the demons should not be able to enter the city, they were still afraid. At night, they decisively hid at home and did not go out.

At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The students of the Imperial Academy were rarely uninhibited and were all drunk.

However, Su Qingning always remembered the lesson she learned from the last time she got drunk, so she didn't drink a drop of alcohol tonight.

Seeing this scene, Mo Lintian was satisfied but also a little disappointed. The reason was because he couldn't take advantage of Su Qingning being drunk to seek benefits for himself.

After the banquet, the drunk people were helped back to their rooms one by one by the people from the City Lord's Mansion. Su Qingning was also going back to her room, but she was abducted halfway.

Mo Lintian and Su Qingning sat on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion. It was very quiet around them, with only the sound of the whistling wind.

Both of them were cultivators and did not feel cold. Su Qingning leaned in Mo Lintian's arms and looked up at the night sky above her head. Although the night was covered with dark clouds, there was not a single star and the moon was hiding behind the clouds, Su Qingning still felt that the night was beautiful tonight, only because the person who was with Su Qingning was Mo Lintian.

"Xiao Ning'er, this time, I can't accompany you into the Yaoling Secret Realm. You have to be careful." Mo Lintian reminded. Although he knew that Su Qingning was very strong, he still couldn't help but worry.

At this moment, Mo Lintian only regretted why he chose to learn formations instead of potions or medical skills. If he was also a pharmacist or a doctor, he could accompany Su Qingning to the Yaoling Secret Realm.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world, and time cannot be reversed. No matter what Mo Lintian does, he cannot change the outcome.

"Why?" Su Qingning frowned, somewhat puzzled. "Don't they say that anyone under the age of twenty-five can enter the Medicine Spirit Secret Realm? Could it be that you're not twenty years old, but some old freak pretending to be young?"

Hearing this, Mo Lintian's mouth twitched. He knocked Su Qingning's head in annoyance and said through gritted teeth, "Xiao Ning'er, what are you thinking about every day? What old monster? Look at me, I'm so handsome, do I look like an old monster?"

Su Qingning covered her forehead, feeling a little aggrieved. "Then why can't you accompany me to the Yaoling Secret Realm?"

Mo Lintian looked at Su Qingning with some doubt, "You really don't know?"

"What?" Su Qingning looked confused.

Seeing that Su Qingning really didn't know, Mo Lintian was very puzzled. He suppressed his doubts and explained, "It is true that only people under the age of 25 can enter the Yaoling Secret Realm, but the prerequisite is that they are pharmacists, doctors, or poison masters."

"Ah?" Su Qingning was surprised. "Could it be that the Medicine Spirit Secret Realm can also detect a person's profession? How does it know that the person who enters must be a pharmacist, a doctor, or a poison master?"

"But it just knows!" Mo Lintian chuckled and said, "There were people who didn't believe this before, but without exception, they all failed and were thrown out of the Medicine Spirit Secret Realm."

Su Qingning was amazed when she heard this. She couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the Medicine Spirit Secret Realm has developed intelligence?"

Mo Lintian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's possible."

A light flashed in Su Qingning's eyes, and it was obvious that she was planning something bad. The Yaoling Secret Realm was full of medicinal herbs, and no pharmacist would not be tempted. Su Qingning was naturally tempted as well. If possible, she wanted to turn the Yaoling Secret Realm into her own medicine storehouse.

The two of them were intimate on the roof for a while, but were finally driven down by a bolt of lightning.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared, followed by a downpour. Fortunately, Su Qingning and Mo Lintian ran fast, otherwise they would have been soaked.

Originally, the Imperial Academy was planning to set out to search for the Medicine Spirit Secret Realm the next day, but the heavy rain disrupted their plans.

The rain continued intermittently throughout the night and was still falling the next day, with a tendency to intensify.

"Boom! Boom!"

There were two more thunders, and the rain became heavier, crackling on the roof with crisp sounds. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was hail!

Looking at the dark sky outside, everyone felt that the air was a little heavy, and they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, as if this rain was foreshadowing something.

Fortunately, the rain slowly stopped after a day and a night. The next morning, the sky cleared up and the sun came out from behind the clouds. The warm sunlight shone down, and everyone felt their bodies warm. The haze in their hearts disappeared in an instant, as if the heaviness and uneasiness of yesterday had never existed.

After bidding farewell to the city lord Zhao Yang, everyone from the Imperial Academy left Youcheng and carefully searched for traces of the Yaoling Secret Realm outside the city.

"Everyone, follow closely and don't leave the team. Otherwise, if you encounter demons, no one can save you." The teacher in charge of the team reminded seriously.

"Yes, we understand."

The students from the Pharmacist Branch and the Physician Branch responded in unison. They pretended to be calm, but the fear in their eyes had already betrayed them. However, the instructors could understand. After all, the doctors and pharmacists were too fragile and were not enough for the demons to eat.
