135: Chapter 135 The Ghostly Realm, That's the Nine Nether Lotus

Xiao Hei let out a sharp shriek and curled into a ball, and Feng Yange hurriedly took out a piece of cloth to wrap Xiao Hei up.

The System had said that Xiao Hei could be her husband, and now that all his feathers were burned off, how was this any different from streaking?

"A-Li, he is Xiao Hei, I raised him." Feng Yange looked at Xuan Li's astonished gaze and hurriedly coaxed Xiao Hei in a gentle voice, "You go stay in the space first; come out once your feathers grow back."

Xiao Hei let out a whimper, and Feng Yange took out the Fire Snake King's blood for Xiao Hei, "A-Li didn't know of your existence, I let you suffer a grievance."

Feng Yange gave Xuan Li a look, and although Xuan Li didn't know what had happened, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry little one, it was my fault for not understanding the situation. This is my spirit spring water; take it as an apology."

Xiao Hei ignored Xuan Li; he was too embarrassed to face anyone now and just wanted to find a crack to hide in, fearing they would see him completely exposed.

Feng Yange saw that Xiao Hei was shy, so she sent him into the space, provided him with plenty of spirit spring water and food, and gave him a separate area.

"Mistress, is that little black bird male or female?" Xuan Li felt a bit annoyed; he should have checked just now. But when did Mistress's taste become so strange that she actually liked such a black bird?

"Male, we picked him up in the Magma Secret Realm." Feng Yange saw that the aura on Xuan Li's body had changed and was somewhat surprised, "You broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm?"

Xuan Li nodded, his eyes carrying a hint of irrepressible pride, "Mistress, am I very impressive? While I was recovering, my Teng Snake Bloodline underwent an Awakening, speeding up my Cultivation. Coupled with the sudden surge of Spiritual Qi in the space, I broke through. However, the strange thing is, I didn't undergo Undergoing Tribulation; the Breakthrough went very smoothly."

Feng Yange frowned, how could this be?

Long Ze didn't have a Lightning Tribulation when he broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm, and neither did Xuan Li. Could it be that to prevent her from piggybacking on the heavenly lightning, Heavenly Dao even skipped their Lightning Tribulation? But that was too unreasonable.

"A-Ze didn't have a Lightning Tribulation either, perhaps it's because of your Bloodline Awakening." Feng Yange looked at Xuan Li's excited expression, "Do you want to go into the space to hide? If you get targeted by the Hehuan Sect Saintess, I'm afraid you'll be drained dry by her."

Feng Yange told Xuan Li about what had happened in the Jiuyou Secret Realm during this time. Seeing the panic in his pupils, she comforted him, "As long as you enter my space, your auras will be shielded, and to outsiders, I will just be one person."

For this, she even designed a story for them, but this Hehuan Sect Saintess was indeed troublesome. She had to find a way to avoid her; if she really couldn't avoid her, then she could only...

"Mistress, if I enter the space, what will you do alone? I cannot leave you by yourself."

Xuan Li struggled, but he still couldn't bear to abandon his Mistress and hide in the space.

"If I can't win, I can also hide in the space. I'm doing this now just to keep an eye on the appearance of the Divine Stone; you all should hurry up and Cultivate." Feng Yange wasn't worried about herself; if she couldn't win, she could just lay low.

She wouldn't go to her death. Besides, the Hehuan Sect Saintess liked men, not her; it was actually safer for her to have no men around.

"Mistress, do you want to become stronger?"

Xuan Li's snake tail wrapped around Feng Yange's body, his tone carrying a hint of seduction, "The Teng Snake Bloodline can make Mistress's Cultivation speed faster."

Feng Yange's ears felt slightly hot. This Xuan Li, he just came out of seclusion, why was he thinking about these things?

"Mistress, why don't we try? Plus, my mating season has arrived, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

Xuan Li's tone carried a hint of pleading. No matter how fast he Cultivated alone, it wouldn't be as fast as Dual Cultivation. Moreover, his Mistress seemed to have forgotten that in this world, even with the best talent, Cultivating separately would result in slower speed.

Feng Yange looked around. In this environment, she couldn't exactly do it in the wild, right?

[Ding! Ghost Secret Realm discovered, please head there immediately, Host.]

Feng Yange's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked the System, "Is it a hidden Secret Realm?"

[Yes, Host, you can roll around in the Secret Realm as you please...]

Feng Yange hurriedly blocked the System; if it continued, things would get inappropriate.

Seeing that Feng Yange was ignoring him, Xuan Li's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head in resignation. Feng Yange grabbed his hand, "Let's go, to the Ghost Secret Realm."

"Mistress, I will carry you there, you lead the way."

Xuan Li transformed into his original form, hoisted Feng Yange onto his body, and swam quickly in the direction Feng Yange pointed. Arriving at the edge of the cliff, Feng Yange saw the hidden entrance marked by the System. Entering the Secret Realm, what came into view was a night scene; the moonlight shone brightly on the ground, revealing a very, very large lake with flowers emitting a ghostly blue light on it.

"Is that the nine nether lotus?"

Feng Yange couldn't believe her eyes and hurriedly flew over. Suddenly, pairs of ghostly green eyes appeared all around, emerging from all directions and closing in on her.

"This is..."

Feng Yange looked at the increasing number of ghostly green eyes, and a chilling aura made her shiver.

"Mistress, these are undead!"

Xuan Li's expression changed drastically. He wrapped his tail around Feng Yange, threw her onto his back, and immediately bolted. Those ghostly green things behind them chased after them like madmen.

"A-Li, are you sure we need to run?" After Xuan Li carried her in a mad dash, Feng Yange couldn't help but cover her forehead, "A-Yuan, lend me your ten thousand soul banner."

As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, the ten thousand soul banner appeared in her hand. Feng Yange flew up, and the ten thousand soul banner appeared in mid-air. In just an instant, those ghostly green eyes seemed to have seen a ghost and tried to flee like mad, but an invisible force sucked them all into the ten thousand soul banner.

Xuan Li looked up at the ten thousand soul banner in the sky and transformed into human form.

"Mistress, you are still the most impressive."

Feng Yange pointed at the nine nether lotus on the lake, "That is the nine nether lotus that Xiao Linger mentioned. Let's collect all of them into the space; A-Yuan can use them."

"Mistress, shall we harvest them now? It's nighttime."

Xuan Li looked at this Secret Realm and suddenly realized, "Mistress, this Secret Realm seems to have always been like this."

Feng Yange nodded, checking the surroundings, "I've noticed it too. This place is like a Valley of Death, and those undead are the masters of this place. We must quickly collect the nine nether lotus."

Xuan Li didn't delay; he immediately transformed into his original form and swam towards the lake, harvesting the nine nether lotus and putting them into his storage ring. Feng Yange walked to the side of the lake, exchanged a boat from the System Mall, and went directly to meet up with Xuan Li to harvest the nine nether lotus.

"Mistress, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Xuan Li and Feng Yange had collected half of the nine nether lotus into their storage rings when they suddenly stopped.

Feng Yange had also sensed it; she kept feeling that a pair of eyes was staring at her from behind, but when she turned around, she saw nothing.

"Forget it, let's hurry up and finish harvesting so we can leave this place."

Feng Yange urged. By the moonlight, their speed was very fast, and they had already reached the center of the lake. Feng Yange stopped.

"A-Li, leave the nine nether lotus over there!"

Feng Yange told Xuan Li to leave. Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from behind them: "Since you don't want them anymore, then it should be my turn!"
