My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Time passed slowly.

On the mountain where Zhongren stood, there was already a pile of watermelon rinds scattered about. On the other side, what was once a lush forest now lay devastated, with broken trees and shattered rocks strewn everywhere.

"Have some courage... don't run!" Niu Laosan's pores emitted wisps of steam. This time, it wasn't just figurative steam from anger but literal steam from exhaustion.

Niu Laosan knew he was at a disadvantage in terms of speed, but he had never seen anyone run so fast.

Could this fellow still be merely at the Imperial Stage? How could a cultivator from the Lower Realm Imperial Stage run so swiftly? What kind of bizarre talent was this? Niu Laosan couldn't fathom it!

"Have some courage to come back... and chase me!" Zhe Liang was also struggling.

Though he was merely fleeing, if the opponent were to chase him, it would involve extensive attacks and collisions, consuming much more energy than him.

However, the bull-headed fellow had astonishing destructive power and considerable endurance. After chasing him for so long and attacking for so long, he still had the energy to speak.

"Though not comparable to our lord, if this strength truly set its mind on infiltrating the Jing Nation, I'm afraid neither of us could stop it..."

Zhe Liang felt a bit relieved, while also marveling at the value of this outing. They had found a sparring partner for free!

The two stared at each other, not saying anything aloud, but both acknowledging each other in their hearts. One in terms of strength, and the other in terms of agility.

"Boom! Boom!"@@novelbin@@

Suddenly, Zhe Liang's muscles and bones crackled, and a strange sensation welled up in his dantian. Then, he found that his strength had actually increased.

"I've actually broken through!" Zhe Liang's face was full of joy. Indeed, practical combat was the best teacher.

No wonder the young master had sent him to intercept, he had already seen signs of my breakthrough. The young master's foresight is truly remarkable! Zhe Liang felt deeply grateful!

However, if Gu Lan knew Zhe Liang's thoughts, he would only silently shake his head and pinch a lemon in his heart... this was not his doing, this was clearly the innate talent of the Destiny Boy! Even in battle, breakthroughs could occur on the spot. The unreasonableness of Destiny!

...

A breakthrough?! Seeing Zhe Liang's aura rising and his speed becoming even faster, Niu Laosan instantly lost the desire to fight.

"I'm not fighting anymore!"

"If you're going to fight, then fight! You just know how to run, without any real effort!"

"I'm not fighting anymore, Old Niu, I'm tired!"

Niu Laosan's mentality collapsed, and he chose to lie flat on the ground. He fell straight backward. Due to his powerful physique and astonishing weight, he created a 'big' pit on the ground. A 'big' pit shaped like the character '大', but with an extra pair of bull horns.

He had only come to give a gift, to ask for a favor. Why? Why did it end up like this? Was his gift-giving posture wrong?

Niu Laosan couldn't understand. Was he somehow resembling a villain? It shouldn't be! Among the Bull Demon Clan, he was quite popular.

He had a sturdy and upright appearance, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, a wide face and a thick neck, and even his horns were more attractive than those of other Bull Demons.

Niu Laosan couldn't figure out what was wrong with himself, to the point where he couldn't even meet that esteemed expert.

Did it mean he had to pick a ferryman with a distinctive appearance to give gifts? The images of Demon Realm messengers and Underworld envoys flashed through Niu Laosan's mind, immediately dispelling that thought.

It wasn't about appearance! In terms of looks alone, he outshone those two fellows. This was something thousands of female Bull Demons in the Demon Realm could testify to.

Thinking of those female Bull Demons who often looked at him with adoration, Niu Laosan's gloomy mood was slightly relieved.

"What's going on with that guy? Is he asleep?" Zhongren looked at the large pit on the mountainside, puzzled. Zhe Liang came to his side, unaware of what Niu Laosan was thinking.

Just as the two were somewhat at a loss about what to do, two figures appeared in the sky, their auras equally terrifying, and their speed much faster than Niu Laosan's!

The newcomers were none other than the Demon Realm messenger and the Underworld envoy. They had come to check on the situation since Niu Laosan hadn't sent any messages back.

However, the two didn't make a big fuss like Niu Laosan; instead, they concealed their presence, not attracting the attention of the guards near the Jing Nation.

"Heh heh! What's Niu Laosan up to, to be turned into this by two Lower Realm cultivators?" The Underworld envoy's voice was sinister, and suddenly, a chilling air emanated from him.

Seeing this, Zhongren's gaze turned sharp. If dealing with one Demon Realm messenger was manageable for him and Zhe Liang, how would they handle two?

The Demon Realm messenger and the Underworld envoy didn't pay much attention to Zhongren; instead, their gazes lingered on Zhe Liang for a long time before returning to the large pit on the ground.

"Niu Laosan!" The Demon Realm messenger called out. In the pit, Niu Laosan had long felt the presence of his companions, but he didn't really want to come out. If these two fellows saw his injured nose, they might ridicule him.

Niu Laosan was well aware that these two had always been jealous of his handsomeness, and this time they would definitely take the opportunity to retaliate. Regardless, he would deal with his injuries first.

Niu Laosan lay in the pit, quietly circulating his energy, ignoring the commotion outside. There was no movement for a while.

"... Niu Laosan!" The Underworld envoy lost his patience. "If you plan to just hide and sleep in that pit, once you finish sleeping away the time remaining in the Lower Realm, I don't mind letting you continue lying there."

"I'm coming out! Old Niu, I'm coming out right away!" As soon as the Underworld envoy's voice fell, Niu Laosan bounced out of the pit.

However, he was too hasty and exerted too much force. Thud! There was a loud noise as a tall figure jumped out from the location of the pit, accidentally smashing a nearby giant mountain.

Countless rocks flew in all directions, startling numerous birds and beasts.

The large rocks flew toward the Underworld envoy's direction. "Watch out!" Niu Laosan hurriedly gave a warning. The Underworld envoy's expression grew even more grim, but he didn't even look at the rocks. As the rocks entered his three-yard radius, they all turned into powder and scattered in the air.

"Oops... it's all accidental." Niu Laosan rubbed the back of his head, wearing a silly smile. He really didn't mean it.

At this moment, there was still a slight redness on his nose. Only by making some noise could he divert his companion's attention from his handsome face.

It was unavoidable. After all, when one looked as handsome as he did, one would be so concerned about one's own appearance...

The Underworld envoy couldn't be bothered with Niu Laosan. "We can't delay any longer. Jing Nation's Destiny is flourishing. It truly is a land of talent and spiritual energy. We must immediately find that expert and request to search for talented cultivators with the potential for ascension in Jing Nation."

The Demon Realm messenger also didn't want to linger any longer, his gaze once again falling on Zhe Liang. This man actually possessed both Demon and Monster lineage, surviving was a miracle in itself.

To have such cultivation at this age was truly a monstrous talent. Although he could see Zhe Liang's extraordinariness, the Demon Realm messenger remained calm, showing no signs of anything unusual.

He didn't want the sinister Underworld envoy to detect anything. As ferryman messengers, they were companions but also competitors. He didn't want such a good seedling to be snatched away by others.

As for the silly Niu Laosan beside him, the Demon Realm messenger didn't pay much attention to him. After all, he was from the Demon Realm and didn't pose a competitive threat.

"In that case, let's go!" The Underworld envoy didn't waste any more words and was about to fly toward the capital of Jing Nation.
