Even hybrid monsters have their day

Geng Miaowan turned to leave, but suddenly her heart skipped a beat. A strangely familiar scent rushed into her heart, making her sway and almost fall. Zheng Xiuxiu quickly steadied her, "What's wrong?"

She shook her head and immediately tried to contact that aura again, but it was as if it had never existed, leaving no trace.

She looked in the direction Haotian had just left and asked, "What place is that over there?"

"Beyond that is the forbidden area of ​​the Demon Palace. No one but the leader is allowed to go there."

She nodded, glanced at it again, and then started walking towards the room.

Huangfu, is that you...?

After that, Haotian didn't appear until nightfall. Xiuxiu said he went down the mountain again, but she didn't know why. Anyway, he seemed very anxious about that matter.

As night fell, Geng Miaowan suddenly got out of bed. She examined her body and found that the internal injuries she had suffered from losing the Huangfu brothers had actually recovered somewhat compared to the daytime. Moreover, a trace of spiritual energy was slowly entering her body, making her feel extremely comfortable.

Although Haotian's medicine stopped her pain, it did nothing to help with the damage to her body caused by severing her bond with her contracted beast. However, this spiritual energy was like a timely gift, repairing the damaged meridians in her body.

This spiritual energy was very subtle, yet possessed immense resilience, seemingly unbreakable. She was greatly astonished; it was as if this spiritual energy had deliberately come from somewhere to her and enter her body. Before this, she had spent two days in the Demon Palace, but had never noticed this spiritual energy then.

In this demonic palace filled with demonic energy, how did this spiritual energy enter, how did it know that her body was injured, and how did it accurately locate her?

However, she didn't have time to delve into these details right now; instead, she focused on absorbing the spiritual energy into her body.

Three days passed in this way. Whenever she had a spare moment, she would sit quietly and absorb the spiritual energy that allowed her body to recover. Although this spiritual energy was weak, its effects were extremely good. In just three days, her severe internal injuries had been almost completely healed. In another two or three days, all her injuries would be completely healed. Even Xu Ruwen, who was severely injured in his sea of ​​consciousness, was slowly recovering because of her.

Haotian did not appear during these three days.

Geng Miaowan did not tell Zheng Xiuxiu about her recovery. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Zheng Xiuxiu, but she felt that Haotian was deliberately keeping her waiting and not allowing her body to recover. Otherwise, with the strength of the Demon Clan, would they not even be able to produce such a pill to repair internal injuries?

That evening, a sudden commotion erupted outside the room. Geng Miaowan opened the door to go out and investigate, but was stopped by a demon soldier.

"What are you doing?"

"Madam, the leader has instructed that you rest well in your room." Haotian did not reveal to the public that Geng Miaowan and Su Yun'er looked alike. Therefore, only a very few people in the Demon Palace knew this.

Geng Miaowan raised an eyebrow, not bothering to argue with them, and asked directly, "Where is your leader?"

"The leader hasn't returned yet."

Geng Miaowan gave an "oh" and went back to her room. In her heart, she thought, "What a joke! Yesterday she could come and go freely, but not today. If Haotian hadn't returned, who would dare give them orders?"

However, what she couldn't understand was why Haotian had lied to her. Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't waste her brain cells thinking about it. Anyway, there were already too many things she couldn't understand in this Demon Palace, so she didn't care about adding one more.

Even if they don't want her to know, someone will tell her.

Geng Miaowan originally planned to ask Zheng Xiuxiu what had happened when she came over, but Zheng Xiuxiu did not appear even after dark.

This is amazing.

After nightfall, she concealed herself and quietly slipped out of the room. Her cultivation hadn't fully recovered, but her time in the Demon Palace these past few days hadn't been wasted; she'd gained some familiarity with the soldiers' patrol routes before their shift changes. So even though her body wasn't fully healed, avoiding the demon soldiers shouldn't be a problem.

Once outside, she discovered that the guards in the Demon Palace had been significantly strengthened, and the patrol intervals were much shorter. Fortunately, the guards' cultivation levels weren't very high, and since she deliberately avoided them, she wasn't discovered.

After she came out, she headed northwest of the Demon Palace. The further she went, the stronger the demonic energy became.

As the surrounding buildings thinned out, so did the number of guards. After passing through a somewhat desolate area, another squad of demon soldiers appeared ahead.

Geng Miaowan only watched from afar, not daring to approach. She saw that next to those soldiers, there was a huge stone with the three characters "Rakshasa Palace" carved on it.

Could this be the forbidden area Zheng Xiuxiu mentioned? Apart from the demonic energy being slightly denser than other places, there doesn't seem to be anything special here. Just as she was about to take a closer look, she saw a figure walking out from afar, which looked like Haotian.

Geng Miaowan quickly found a rock and squatted down behind it, peeking out to see what was happening over there.

The instant Haotian stepped onto the stone inscribed with the words "Rakshasa Palace," Geng Miaowan felt a tightness in her chest, and that tearing pain returned. Although it vanished in an instant, this time, she felt the presence of the three Huangfu brothers with crystal clarity.

Are they still alive? And inside that forbidden area?

This news filled her with ecstatic joy; she was almost jumping for joy. Suppressing her wildly beating heart, she waited until everyone had left before eagerly running to the front of the Rakshasa Palace.

Before her was a barrier, a very powerful one. Geng Miaowan reached out her hand, wanting to try and break it, but stopped the moment she touched the barrier.

She wasn't confident she could break the barrier, or rather, with her current abilities, she had no chance at all. If Huangfu and the others were really inside, her touch would not only fail to save them, but would also attract Haotian's attention, increasing his wariness of her, making it even more difficult to do anything then.

Thinking this, she withdrew her hand and slowly turned around to walk towards the Demon Palace.

Ao Xuan, Ao Ran, Ao Han, you must wait for me! (To be continued.)
