The Beast King's Little Wife

"Pfft..."

The egg liquid spilled out, then slid back in with a plop.

It slipped back in, only to overflow again with a puff. This cycle repeated itself, making one's heart clench and pound.

Lin Dujuan watched as the cracks in the eggshell grew increasingly worse, and strangely, the egg seemed to have lost its soul. It only knew to protect its yolk from leaking out. Struggling like this, the air currents seemed to pull against each other.

Seeing this, Lin Dujuan's heart truly clenched.

"Qiuqiu, what's wrong with Dandan?"

Qiuqiu looked at the strange egg with complicated eyes, and only reacted after Lin Dujuan called him.

"I think he's about to advance and transform into a human. However, this transformation is a bit troublesome."

"Do you know how to transform?" Lin Dujuan asked, seeing that Qiuqiu seemed to know a little.

"Actually, I'm just guessing. Perhaps, once the energy is converted, I'll successfully advance to the next level."

Qiuqiu didn't go into too much detail, just spoke vaguely.

And the egg, after the shell finally cracked open with a snap.

Before Lin Dujuan, beams of light appeared one after another.

In this cold and gloomy place, such light shone directly into the sky.

The explosion illuminated the entire sky, instantly startling everyone around the Lake of Souls. All who watched the beam of light were filled with excitement.

"Could it be that a treasure has been born!"

"Look at that dazzling pillar of light, a treasure must have been born."

"My God, treasures have actually appeared in the Lake of Shadows."

Inside a palace near the Lake of Souls, a middle-aged woman who had been meditating opened her eyes when the beam of light shone brightly.

Looking into the distance, she exclaimed in surprise and leaped towards the pillar of light.

Lin Dujuan was terrified when the dazzling beam of light shot into the sky.

"Quickly throw it into your soul sea."

Just then, Qiuqiu seemed to realize something was wrong and immediately gave Lin Dujuan this order.

Lin Dujuan didn't bother to think about why Egg could still be thrown into the Soul Sea in its current state. She simply followed her instructions reflexively. Before leaving, Lin Dujuan also took a large handful of Blood Soul Grass.

Seeing her like this, Qiuqiu also opened its mouth and cut off a piece of Blood Soul Grass.

Fortunately, these herbs are all cut. As long as they are nourished by enough Yin Soul blood energy, they can slowly grow back. Eventually, when they develop blood lines, they can become blood soul herbs of good quality.

Shortly after Lin Dujuan fled as if she were a refugee, someone landed at this spot. This person was none other than the woman who had been meditating in the palace.

She had a cold and aloof expression, and her beauty was stunning. However, because of her cold and aloof demeanor, no one dared to harbor any covetous thoughts towards her, even though she was beautiful and charming.

Then came Hua Chengfeng.

With his current level of cultivation, he was someone who feared neither heaven nor earth. Upon arriving, he saw only a pile of grass roots left. He immediately roared in fury.

He immediately began attacking the person in front of him.

"Hmph, how dare this brat!"

The aloof woman snorted coldly, and with a seemingly simple, gentle flick of her wrist, the previously aggressive Hua Chengfeng was sent sprawling. The red phoenix perched on his shoulder was startled. Immediately, it jumped down and knelt before the woman, crying out in alarm.

"Please forgive me, Fairy. My master was too impulsive. However, he was angry because I was injured. He did not mean to offend you, Fairy."

Seeing Hongluan's reaction, Hua Chengfeng also pursed his lips and coldly stared at the noblewoman in front of him.

“It is my fault, and it has nothing to do with my Hongluan. If you want to punish me, then punish me.”

"Out of consideration for your deep love, I will spare your lives."

The aloof woman snorted coldly, and Hongluan gasped. Indeed, another word from the aloof woman nearly made both of them faint.

"However, offending me, Feng Qingcheng, is a capital offense, though it may be pardoned, but it will not be spared. Such brainless behavior cannot go far."

With a casual flick of her wrist, Hua Chengfeng was injured in the arm. Even so, he simply endured the pain. Only after Feng Qingcheng left did Hong Luanfeng rush forward.

"Feng Qingcheng, Feng'er, have you ever heard of her?"

Hua Chengfeng knew he had been rude and impulsive, and Hong Luanfeng had originally intended to scold him. But seeing his guilty and timid retreating posture, she knew that he had acted so impulsively simply because he was angry and resentful on her behalf.

"If the name she mentioned is true, I'm guessing correctly. This person should be one of the four hidden elders, the head of the Nucha Palace, the one who is said to be extremely beautiful and charming, yet also arrogant and invincible, Feng Qingcheng."

"What? You mean Feng Qingcheng, one of the Four Hidden Elders?"

“Yes, Brother Feng, even Feng Qingcheng, one of the four hidden elders, came out this time. You were only slightly punished by her, which is really nothing.”

Hong Luanfeng felt a little scared. From now on, she would definitely keep a closer eye on Feng Ge.

Ever since Brother Feng advanced to the Spirit Body level in his cultivation, he's become a bit arrogant and impractical. Little does he know, there are still quite a few abnormal beings in this world.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the spiritual realm is like an ancestor.

However, in the hands of these high-ranking people, he was just a little kid. Even if they were only slightly higher in rank than him, that was still an insurmountable boundary.

Although Hua Chengfeng was impulsive, he was now extremely cautious. After all, this could cost him his life if things went wrong. Moreover, his rapid progress in cultivation had already offended both the human and demon races. If he didn't act discreetly, he risked bringing trouble to the woman he loved.

“I will be extra careful from now on. Let’s keep a low profile. Now that we’ve come to this Lake of Shadows, let’s find some places with strong spirit energy. Maybe that will help your injuries heal.”

The Lake of Yin Souls is heavy with yin energy. Normally, injured people and beasts would not dare to enter. But the Red Phoenix is ​​different. It is originally a being of the fire element.

The fire is somewhat uncontrollable now that I'm injured, and if it's not suppressed, it might burn my body. Therefore, going to the center of the Yin Soul Lake to receive some body tempering from the lake's ice is a good way to heal my wounds.

That was the initial thought behind their journey, that led the master and servant to this place. Unexpectedly, they even saw the Blood Soul Grass indicated by the compass. Unfortunately, they were too late; someone else had already gotten there first.

"That's fine, soaking in the lake will make you feel better."

Hua Chengfeng glanced furtively at the wings of the red phoenix and couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if it manifested as a human.

“Phoenix, whether you are beautiful or ugly, I will love you as long as you manifest as a human.”

Hongluan was quite shy after being confessed to by the man so abruptly. She shyly scolded him with her bird-like eyes, "You're never serious. No wonder people think we're not proper."

"Hehe, those people are just looking down on us. What does it matter to them if we're doing well?"

Seeing the man's delighted expression, the red phoenix was also pleased. It hadn't been easy for the man and the bird to have gotten to where they are today.

She had struggled with the treatment for a while, but after failing to separate from him, she gave up. It's better to live a good life than to struggle like this.

Lin Dujuan, who had just received the treasure, turned around, only to be blocked by a woman whose entire body was cold and aloof.

Under this man's cold and calm gaze, Lin Dujuan felt her legs tremble. She sighed inwardly, "Another old fossil."

Although the person appeared to be only a middle-aged woman, she had no doubt that she was an ancient relic. After all, such an aura, and those wise and far-sighted eyes, were not something an ordinary young person could cultivate.

"what?"

Feng Qingcheng looked Lin Dujuan up and down, but couldn't find anything unusual about her.

"take it out."

Feng Qingcheng was slightly annoyed. She wasn't unaware of the glowing object. The aura left at the scene was definitely that of this girl. Therefore, she was very confident about this. But up until now, she hadn't found anything amiss.

With this woman watching her, Lin Dujuan was reluctant to take out her treasures. However, seeing the woman's predatory gaze, she finally gritted her teeth and made a clean decision.

"Yes……"

As soon as the pressure on her body eased, she quickly poured out all the Qiankun Rings.

“These are all my treasures. Fairy, you must have found that light strange, right? Actually, I found it strange too. I saw a flash of light and wanted to see what it was. But it was incredibly fast. It looked like a large jade plate, a little broken, and it seemed like liquid was about to spill out. By the time I could get a better look, it had already drifted far away. And just as I was chasing it, you appeared, Fairy.”

Feng Qingcheng frowned slightly as she listened to Lin Dujuan's words.

"You mean, that thing seems to have a shell?"

Lin Dujuan quickly shook her head.

"It's not a shell. It looks like some smooth jade has broken, and some liquid is leaking out. But I can't see clearly. The light is too dazzling. I only glanced at it and didn't see it clearly. I wanted to chase after it to see. Now, you go and chase that thing, I won't. If you have time, you can tell me what it is. I don't have many hobbies, I just like novel things."

Feng Qingcheng glanced at her coldly, not bothering to gather the pile of broken treasures in front of her. In Feng Qingcheng's eyes, what might be truly valuable medicine to Lin Dujuan was just a pile of junk to her.

Seeing the girl tear apart the immature medicines, Feng Qingcheng shook her head, leaving only one sentence.

"The spirit of all things, do not destroy its source."

Lin Dujuan quickly lowered her head, "Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, Fairy. I just saw that this plant hadn't grown properly and wanted to pick it to plant for fun."

Feng Qingcheng couldn't listen any longer and gave her a haughty look. Although she didn't scold her, her words implied that she was too naughty.

Lin Dujuan said she felt quite helpless about being treated like a child.

Fortunately, Feng Qingcheng only glanced at these things and then disappeared without a trace.

Lin Dujuan then stopped joking around and solemnly put away the things in front of her...
