The Demon Lord's Fiery Wife 31 Chapter 2

 "Rain Faerie Su Jie! Help me break out of Suming hall and I will give you 50 years of my cultivation!"

 "50 years of your cultivation prowess?! Are you going to be alive by the time you pa.s.s your spirit energy to me?! I don't want High Immortal Lan Quan coming after me!"

 Su Jie the rain faerie that was a.s.signed to provide rain to the heavens and earthly beings looked at the cat faerie with eyes that narrowed with unbelief. Kai Zhen's eyes had gone desperate, the cat faerie wanted to leave Suming hall by all means necessary.

 "Yus.h.i.+ is the staff that has enough spirit energy to create a hole big enough for Faerie Kai Zhen to pa.s.s through, but he is a cat spirit! He doesn't have wings to fly through! How is he going to cross over and make it outside the barrier?!"

 50 years of cultivation was too good of an opportunity to pa.s.s up, this was why the rain faerie had to think of a way to get Kai Zhen out. After going through different scenarios on how to go about lending a hand to the cat faerie, Su Jie finally found a solution to their dilemma.

 "Faerie Kai Zhen! I found a way!"

 In her state of excitement, Su Jie almost fell from the cloud that she was standing on.

 "You have?"

 "Yes! Faerie Kai Zhen! Yus.h.i.+ and Weixin will get you out of Suming hall!"

 The rain faerie's eyes had taken on a sparkling look as she patted the hand fan tucked by her waist, taking in one smooth motion a long wooden staff that was at her feet using her spiritual aura.

 "Who is Yus.h.i.+?!"

 ‐---------

Back at Suming hall, Lan Quan was brewing the medicinal elixir and making fresh batches of medicinal pills to be used by the immortals he served. His temper had long since dissolved into a state of calmness while stirring the cauldron with rapt attention.

 "Kai Zhen! Bring me the endless blue bell flowers that is in the top shelf!"

 Silence met his call, this made Lan Quan to pause midway to look around him using his inner sense to seek out the whereabouts of his disciple.

 "Where could that lazy disciple of mine have run off to?"

 It was then that Lan Quan release his spirit energy of dazzling blue into the cauldron as a binding agent.

 "The barrier is in place, so why can't I see where he is?!"

 Puzzled that he could not point out where Kai Zhen was, Lan Quan intensified his search. Thinking that he wasn't using enough spirit energy to sniff out the hiding place of his only disciple.

 "He will show up when it's time to eat.... Moreover, he isn't strong enough to break my impenetrable barrier! This is very important; I need to get them to the heavenly emperor!"

 The Medicine King's used his spiritual energy to open the top shelf where the plant that he need was.

 To Lan Quan, getting the medicinal elixir and pills to Qilin hall was more important than looking for a mischievous disciple.

 Unknown to Lan Quan, the disciple that was under his tutelage had long since escaped out of the barrier with the help of a Faerie who misused the magical tool that was meant to maintain balance in the nine heavens and mortal realm. Earlier, Lan Quan sensed the disturbance in the barrier around Suming hall, but he a.s.sumed that his disciple's spiritual energy was not high enough to safely break free from the barrier, never would he have thought that another would collude with Kai Zhen.

--------------

"Faerie Kai Zhen, let's meet again!"

"Rain Faerie Su Jie, accept my humble grat.i.tude for lending me a hand!"

Kai Zhen and the rain faerie parted ways at the base of the mountain, with Su Jie going on her duty while Kai Zhen began his own adventure, stepping into places that would have been deemed scary and dangerous.

"I don't miss master! Does he think that I liked being locked at Suming hall?!"

Those were the words the cat faerie said to make himself believe that he was in the right by doing as he wished.

"See all these flowers! He won't even let me plant one myself! All he does all the time is to make medicinal portions! I don't know who saw him more, me or the cauldron!"

Despite seemingly appearing to be satisfied with his decision, Kai Zhen still nagged about how unbearable his life was as the disciple of Lan Quan.

"One day, I'll show you master! That, I, Zhai Zhen can do good with his life! Even the heavenly emperor would be amazed at my feats and make me a high immortal! This time I would be master's equal!"

While Kai Zhen made an empty promise, from among the bush, lying in wait was a minion from the demon realm whose purpose was to feed on lesser immortals.

--------------

Kai Zhen reached for one of the petals on the colorful tree that he found on the path down the mountain. Patting it with eyes that reflected a sense of sadness within them.

"Look at who is walking by! Such tasty morsel, a faerie from the nine heavens! I can already see my demon energy going up! HAHAAA! With this much power, I can join Demon Lord Zhurong's army! HAAAAAAAA!!!!"

The minion's eyes had gone red with greed, drool gathered around his mouth and began to form a sticky pool at his feet. Dressed in black robes worn by those from the demon realm, the low-level demon waited for the right moment to leap on the unsuspecting immortal.

"Who is there?! Show yourself!"

Kai Zhen sensed an evil presence right after he reached for the tree. Although his cultivation was not on par with his master, he could still tell when something was amiss.

"Ha! A sharp one we have here! Why don't you hand over yourself to me willingly so that you will experience less pain!"

The demon left where he was, the sound of rustling leaves accompanied him as he faced his prey.

"WHY DON'T YOU SURRENDER YOURSELF INSTEAD AND FACE DIVINE RETRIBUTION! YOU VILE CREATURE!!!"

Kai Zhen puffed up his chest, shouting at the top of his voice. Confident that he would defeat the demon that presented itself.
