97: Chapter 97 She's Enchanted

The Demon Spirit pulled a waist token from her waist and handed it to Feng Yange, "This is the Teleportation Array for a hidden Secret Realm. There is an Exotic Fire inside; I think you will like it very much."

"Exotic Fire?"

Feng Yange felt a surge of excitement inside. She had indeed wanted an Exotic Fire, but she hadn't expected the Demoness to gift it to her.

"Whether you can obtain the Exotic Fire depends on your ability." The Demon Spirit stood up and walked towards the wooden house, her voice fading into the distance, "Human, the union between the Demon Race and humans has never been accepted by the world. When that time comes, you must be prepared to abandon him."

Feng Yange looked at the waist token in her hand, "Why should I care about the world's opinion?"

The surrounding environment suddenly changed. Feng Yange was transported to a forest, where noisy sounds reached her ears; there were quite a few people.

"What kind of hellish place is this? Why have we been unable to find a way out for three days?"

"Instead of wasting energy arguing here, we should think about how to deal with the Demonic Beasts inside."

Feng Yange followed the sound and hid in the shadows to observe. She saw over a hundred people in a nearby secluded valley, with many Demonic Beast corpses on the ground. They were all unfamiliar faces, likely people from other continents.

Feng Yange quietly retreated and sensed their auras to rendezvous with them.

Elsewhere in the forest, Long Ze, Mo Yuan, and the others had just finished killing a wave of Demonic Beasts. Everyone's expression was grim to the extreme. They had lost their Mistress; although they sensed she was in no danger, the fact that they couldn't find her was a testament to their incompetence.

The seven of them processed the Demonic Beast corpses, none of them speaking, their handsome faces gloomy.

"Still no news of our Mistress?"

Bai Jiuxiao's eyes were full of worry. The others had all formed a contract and could sense their Mistress's condition, but he could not. He felt like an outsider, completely out of place among them.

Mo Yuan's expression was the grimmest. He felt self-reproach and guilt; after all, it was he who had asked Feng Yange to retrieve the demon bead, and he hadn't expected her to vanish right under his nose.

"Mistress is fine, we just can't find her."

Jun Chen glanced at Mo Yuan and explained, "Perhaps it is our Mistress's Opportunity. We..."

Before he could finish, Jun Chen suddenly looked behind him, his face showing joy, "Mistress's aura!"

"Mistress is coming." No sooner had Long Ze spoken than he vanished. The others followed suit, and Bai Jiuxiao, snapping out of his daze, hurried to catch up. Before long, they saw Feng Yange walking towards them. Seeing them, Feng Yange's eyes lit up, and she waved to greet them.

"Mistress!"

Long Ze threw himself into Feng Yange's arms. Mo Yuan and the others, who were close behind, looked at Feng Yange with joy, though they were also annoyed that they had lost to Long Ze in speed. But since he was the First Husband, they dared not say anything.

"I'm fine, I've made you all worry. But why is the smell of blood so strong on each of you? Are you all alright?"

No sooner had Feng Yange finished speaking than Xuan Li transformed into a small snake and coiled around her arm, looking at her with eyes full of grievance, "Mistress, for the past three days, we have been killing Demonic Beasts and dealing with people from other continents. They wanted to take advantage of the situation to steal our belongings, but they didn't succeed. Their strength is inferior to ours."

"Because we are of the Beast Race, we were shunned by the Cultivators from the various continents." Ling Feng said in a deep voice. Seeing that their Mistress was unharmed, a hint of tenderness appeared in his ice-blue eyes.

"That's just an excuse. It's because the Mistress wasn't here that they wanted to seize what we have." Li Mingye explained, looking at Feng Yange with great concern, "Mistress, where did you go? Were you injured?"

Seeing the worry in their eyes, Feng Yange recounted what had happened to her over the past few days. Mo Yuan lowered his eyes and apologized guiltily.

"Mistress, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go get the demon bead."

"Look, what is this?" A black bead appeared in Feng Yange's palm. Mo Yuan looked up and his eyes widened in shock when he saw it in Feng Yange's hand, "The demon bead!"

Feng Yange nodded and smilingly placed the demon bead into Mo Yuan's hand, "Take it, don't lose it. I got this for you. And this too; it contains quite a few things. The Demoness said it would be helpful to you, so keep it. If you have any other needs in the future, tell me."

She had always thought that spirit spring water would be enough to help them, but clearly that was not the case; the things the Demon Race needed were different from those of humans.

Mo Yuan gripped the demon bead, his eyes heating up. Looking at the smile on Feng Yange's face, a ripple appeared in his heart, which had been like dead silence. Mistress, she knew.

"Mistress is truly amazing, you obtained the demon bead just like that. You've worked hard, Mistress." Bai Jiuxiao looked at Feng Yange with an expression of worship. As soon as he spoke, the others all turned their gazes towards him; they had almost forgotten about this fox.

Feng Yange's gaze fell on Bai Jiuxiao, "Little Fox, how is your injury? Have you been doing well these past few days?"

Bai Jiuxiao hurriedly squeezed in front of Feng Yange, "I've been with Xuan Li the whole time. We killed a few Demonic Beasts and ran into some gossiping Cultivators, but it's nothing serious."

"Mistress, there is bad news I must tell you. That Feng Yanjiu was taken away by the Demon Race. When she returned, she had actually come back to life." When Xuan Li mentioned this, his eyes were practically spitting fire, "I don't know how the Demon Race brought her back to life; I had even delivered a finishing blow at the time."

Feng Yange was shocked, "She didn't die even after that? She seems more like the female lead with great Luck."

"That is the Demon Race's possession magic. The Demon Race possesses a human corpse and inherits the human's memories, but in reality, it is not the original owner." Mo Yuan explained, "We will just kill her again. Leave it to me the next time we meet."

"That works. As long as it's not the real Feng Yanjiu, that's fine." Feng Yange stretched and found a place to sit down, "Tell me about the current situation. I just came from a secluded valley where over a hundred Cultivators were blocking the entrance of a cave, also fighting against Demonic Beasts."

Feng Yange looked around, "The demon bead has been obtained, but there is one more thing I need to get."

Mo Yuan and Jun Chen exchanged a look and tacitly checked their surroundings. Confirming no one was there, they gathered around. Feng Yange lowered her voice, took out the waist token the Demoness had given her, and told them about the Exotic Fire.

"If Mistress wants it, Mistress shall have it." Xuan Li transformed into his human form and landed beside Feng Yange, his eyes filled with excitement. The others followed suit, and after the eight of them deliberated, they opened the Secret Realm and went straight inside.

"There are still more than two months left until the Earth Core Secret Realm ends. We can obtain the Exotic Fire here, find a place to Cultivate, and wait for the right moment to leave the Secret Realm."

Jun Chen calculated that once the Exotic Fire was obtained, their Mistress would surely perform Alchemy. None of them wanted to participate in the carnage outside; it would be better to find a place to Cultivate and improve their strength.

"Let's find a place to sleep first. I haven't had a good rest in days." Feng Yange's gaze swept across the valley, which was covered in flowers and grass. This hidden Secret Realm was like a paradise; she wondered what kind of Exotic Fire would like such a Secret Realm.

Feng Yange waved her hand, and the three-story mansion she had built in the Fox Clan appeared. Feng Yange walked into the house, and the others immediately followed. The valley, which had originally only contained flowers and grass, now had the scent of human life, and it was precisely this action that caused the depths of the Earth Core to tremble.
