511: Cat and Mouse

Ning Huanhuan felt a warmth in her heart hearing Xiao Lingchen's words.

She nodded.

She didn't say much else.

In her heart, she actually really wanted to be with Xiao Lingchen.

Afterward.

The two tidied up their clothes.

After getting dressed properly.

Only then did they exit the Restriction.

They arrived in front of the Tianxuan Royal Family elites who had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go!"

Ning Huanhuan said.

Then, taking Xiao Lingchen and the elites with her, she continued deeper into the Barren Marsh.

To search for the last set of armor.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Qu Jiuheng, who had been defeated, traveled all the way.

She finally returned to her cave dwelling.

Her so-called cave dwelling was actually assigned to her by the Demon Clan.

When Qu Jiuheng returned to the cave dwelling.

She found that in her cave dwelling, on the Dragon Chair she usually loved to sit on, there was a person sitting there at this moment!

"You are... Night Queen?!"

She saw.

The woman currently sitting on the Dragon Chair also had sharp features.

But she possessed a head of silver hair that reached her waist.

It shimmered with a faint luster under the bright lamps of the cave dwelling.

Her eyes were a bewitching red, enhanced by long eyelashes, as if they could captivate souls.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, every feature carrying an innate seductive charm, her figure was graceful and alluring, and coupled with a black form-fitting outfit and her legs crossed, it made her figure appear incredibly tempting!

Night Queen's reputation was well-known within the Demon Clan.

She was one of the three great Demon Kings under the Demon Emperor.

Qu Jiuheng recognized her through her silver hair.

It is said that Night Queen's methods are cruel, and she cooks members of her own clan almost daily to satisfy her appetite!

Her actions aroused the anger of the Demon Clan, but due to her considerable status and strength.

Even the Demon Emperor could only tolerate her!

Qu Jiuheng hadn't expected.

Why would this Night Queen suddenly come to her cave dwelling.

Coming here, what did she want to do?!

When Night Queen saw Qu Jiuheng return.

She also uncrossed her legs and slowly stood up from her seat.

Her red and full lips lifted slightly:

"Seeing this King, you don't even bow and kneel?"

"Truly impolite!"

When she spoke the last sentence.

A fierce look suddenly appeared in Night Queen's eyes.

Terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Qu Jiuheng.

Suppressing Qu Jiuheng on the spot, making her face show distress.

She was almost about to kneel down.

However, Qu Jiuheng ultimately had backbone and held on, managing not to kneel.

Her face was grim, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"I am a commander sincerely invited by your Demon Saintess, and your Demon Saintess treats me with courtesy."

"Why should I bow and kneel to you?!"

Hearing this, Night Queen.

Chuckled.

The next instant.

Night Queen seemed to pass through space, arriving directly in front of Qu Jiuheng.

On her slender fingers were long, sharp nails.

She traced them across Qu Jiuheng's delicate face and said:

"Let me ask you, this time I sent you to the Barren Marsh to search for the special sword, did you have any success?"

Qu Jiuheng endured the immense pressure on her body and said:

"No success!"

"But there were reasons for that!"

"The Dao Alliance is full of schemes, Hua Nishang betrayed us..."

Qu Jiuheng's words were not finished.

She was interrupted by Night Queen:

"Useless!"

"Those who cannot complete the mission are all useless!"

In her opinion.

Useless people who cannot complete missions have no value.

Such people usually only end up being eaten by her!

Therefore.

Night Queen also looked at Qu Jiuheng again.

Her eyes revealed a kind of greed towards food.

She sniffed Qu Jiuheng carefully, her face full of enjoyment:

"What a strong medicinal fragrance!"

"I heard that your true form is a Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng from a mountain range in the South Pole Domain, and because you gained sentience, you gained the ability to transform?"

Qu Jiuheng did not speak.

She only felt that the situation was not good in her heart.

Night Queen, however, continued speaking to herself:

"A Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng that has gained sentience can be called a top-grade item!"

"If I could eat you, my cultivation would surely increase greatly!"

Night Queen kept sniffing Qu Jiuheng.

The more she sniffed, the more addicted she became.

A morbid smile appeared on her face.

"Since you cannot complete the mission, why don't you let me eat you?"

"After eating you, I will remember you forever!"

As she spoke.

Night Queen could no longer restrain herself.

Crystal clear saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.

The next second.

She didn't want to endure anymore.

She suddenly opened her gaping maw and bit towards Qu Jiuheng's throat!

How could Qu Jiuheng just surrender like this?

Just as Night Queen bit towards her.

Dozens of root tendrils suddenly shot out.

Stabbing fiercely towards Night Queen's chest!

At such a close distance.

Night Queen had no space to dodge.

She should have been instantly pierced through the chest by the sharp root tendrils.

However.

Qu Jiuheng was horrified to discover.

Her root tendrils could only push Night Queen back, they couldn't pierce her chest at all!

One could even say.

Under this strike.

Night Queen was almost completely unharmed!

"How is that possible!"

Qu Jiuheng's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

At such a close distance, coupled with her confidence in this strike, she couldn't imagine how she couldn't even injure her!

The only explanation was that this Night Queen's strength was far, far beyond hers.

And the fact was exactly that!

After being pushed back.

Night Queen showed no sign of anger.

Instead, she revealed a playful smile:

"Putting up a stubborn resistance."

"How interesting!"

That smile was like a cat teasing a mouse.

It would not get angry because of the mouse's resistance.

Instead, it found it even more interesting.

Qu Jiuheng's face was grim, but she was also extremely decisive.

Seeing that she couldn't injure Night Queen.

She immediately turned and ran!

Seeing this, Night Queen.

The playful smile on her face deepened a few shades.

"Run, run."

"Let you run for a while first, I'm not hungry right now anyway."

Saying that.

Night Queen also slowly walked out of the cave dwelling.

Following Qu Jiuheng's aura, she slowly flew off to search.

The disparity in strength was vast.

In her opinion.

Qu Jiuheng could not escape her grasp.

Playing a game of cat and mouse before eating the food was also very nice!

She only needed a thought.

She instantly flew over a hundred miles.

She easily caught up to Qu Jiuheng, who was frantically fleeing for her life.

The smile at the corner of her mouth also grew thicker.

........................................

In the Barren Marsh.

Ning Huanhuan led Xiao Lingchen and the Tianxuan Royal Family elites forward.

In her hand, she held the compass Magic Treasure specially refined by the Celestial Art Master of the Tianxuan Royal Family.

This compass could lead them to the whereabouts of the last set of armor.

And it was under the guidance of this compass.

Ning Huanhuan, Xiao Lingchen, and the others went deep into the Barren Marsh, arriving at a mysterious area.

This place was chaotic, with only a void-like empty space.

There was no swamp around, no living beings.

It was extremely hidden.

If not for the compass guidance.

They might not have been able to find this place even if they searched for a hundred years!
