Chapter 566: Chapter 565: Pain
Liu Zheng suddenly grunted, but he didn’t feel much pain, only some twitching in his muscles.
At this moment, Bai Ling saw Liu Zheng’s condition and couldn’t help being startled.
"Yun Ting, what’s wrong with you?" Bai Ling asked anxiously.
"Hmph... It’s nothing, I won’t die!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng snorted coldly, then put on his clothes and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Bai Ling asked urgently upon seeing this.
"Just taking a walk!" Liu Zheng said indifferently.
"But you’re injured... If you go out, you might encounter danger..." Bai Ling said with worry.
"Don’t worry! I’ll be fine..."
Seeing this, Bai Ling could only nod her head.
"Then, be careful!"
"Mmm..."
After he finished speaking, Liu Zheng walked outside.
"If you dare go out, I will ignore you forever!" Bai Ling stomped her foot angrily and shouted after Liu Zheng left.
...
At this moment, Liu Zheng walked on the street, his mind filled with Bai Ling’s words from earlier.
"What’s gotten into this girl? Could she have been possessed by some demons or evil spirits?" Liu Zheng thought, puzzled and slightly uneasy.
However, just then, Liu Zheng suddenly felt something strange with his right arm.
"Eh... Could it be that woman who hurt my arm earlier...?" Liu Zheng thought, frowning, then extended his right arm into the Space Ring.
In the palm of Liu Zheng’s right hand lay a crystal-clear pill the size of a fist, emitting a pale blue glow.
"What is this? It seems like a healing treasure..." Liu Zheng frowned, then tossed the pill into his mouth.
A moment later, the pill turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared down Liu Zheng’s throat.
"Eh? This pill is quite miraculous..." Liu Zheng muttered questioningly.
While Liu Zheng was puzzled, he suddenly felt overwhelmed by an intense drowsiness.
"What’s happening..."
Liu Zheng was completely bewildered.
At that moment, Liu Zheng felt his body getting heavier and his eyelids became increasingly heavy, until at last, they closed completely...
Not sure how long he had slept, when Liu Zheng woke up, he saw a delicately beautiful face.
"Hmm..."
Liu Zheng was stunned to see the little face before his eyes.
It was an extremely beautiful face, with soft white skin, a small straight nose, and cherry lips that were irresistibly tempting...
"Wow... She’s really pretty!"
Liu Zheng was surprised and his eyes widened at the sight of Bai Ling.
At that moment, Bai Ling also opened her eyes, and seeing Liu Zheng’s dumbstruck appearance, she couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
"What... what are you laughing at?" Liu Zheng asked, frowning slightly and then somewhat awkwardly.
"Nothing much... What’s the matter with you? How did you end up here?" Bai Ling said with a smile.
"How I got here is none of your concern... In any case, I’m telling you, from now on, you must listen to me obediently, otherwise..." Liu Zheng saw Bai Ling’s teasing expression and warned her angrily.
"I refuse!"
Liu Zheng’s eyes widened upon hearing this.
Although Liu Zheng didn’t remember how he had gotten back, he clearly remembered it was a girl named Bai Ling who had brought him back to the room.
At this moment, he finally understood why he had lost consciousness... It turned out to be the handiwork of this little lass!
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but feel some annoyance in his heart.
"You dare to disobey?"
"Just won’t listen..." Bai Ling heard this and couldn’t help but smugly raise her head and said.
"If that’s the case, we’ll just wait and see!" Liu Zheng, hearing her words, immediately said in a huff.
"Hmph! You think I’m afraid of you?" Bai Ling saw Liu Zheng’s fierce appearance and immediately retorted with dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng snorted coldly, then stopped paying attention to Bai Ling and headed straight outside.
Seeing this, Bai Ling couldn’t help feeling helpless, but there was nothing she could do...
Bai Ling knew that this guy was on a hot streak now, and if she continued to annoy Liu Zheng, he would definitely leave without hesitation.
Bai Ling, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.
...
At this moment, Liu Zheng had already left the palace, heading towards the suburbs...
"This should be outside the palace. I better take this opportunity to leave first... I’ll come back after a few days..."
With this thought in mind, Liu Zheng quickened his pace and flew towards the distance.
In less than half an hour, Liu Zheng came to a small village and found a dilapidated temple, into which he entered.
Soon, Liu Zheng sat down cross-legged and began to practice the "Xuan Yin Jue".
As Liu Zheng began to practice the "Xuan Yin Jue", he felt a tremendous force of Yuan energy pulsing within his body.
"What’s going on? What kind of practice is this? How can it generate such immense Yuan energy?"
At this time, Liu Zheng was somewhat shocked and thought to himself.
Not long after, Liu Zheng found that wisps of black fog were emerging around him, then quickly merging into his body.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng frowned and then circulated the "Xuan Yin Jue" practice technique, continuously devouring the black fog around him.
"Hm? What’s going on? My cultivation speed seems to have increased a lot..."
Liu Zheng felt the change in his body and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
"Hmm, this world is indeed good..." Liu Zheng then muttered to himself with a sense of appreciation.
Afterward, Liu Zheng continued sitting cross-legged in the hut and began his cultivation...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year quietly passed by.
On this day, just as a hint of dawn began to show in the sky, the whole world was full of vitality.
At this time, a handsome young man abruptly opened his eyes.
After Liu Zheng opened his eyes, he felt his physical condition and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Haha... My strength has increased so much, it seems that a year of arduous cultivation has made my strength progress, I am now at the realm of a Seventh-order Spirit King!"
Feeling the changes in his body, Liu Zheng said excitedly.
Then, Liu Zheng stood up, opened the door, and went out, ready to take a stroll.
...
"Miss, this mission was really tough, it actually made you run around for so long."
"Hehe, what’s this? Look at me, am I not alright now? Moreover, we also got a lot of good things!" said a woman, dressed flamboyantly and scantily, to another woman beside her.
Upon hearing this, the other woman immediately sneered and said, "Hmph! If I had Miss’s ability, I would have strutted around in the imperial city a long time ago, I wouldn’t have been imprisoned in the palace, and besides, the treatment here is just too poor!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling was taken aback.
This girl was actually the same age as Bai Ling!
"Don’t blame the jailers, after all, they are just following orders!" Bai Ling, hearing this, couldn’t help but cough lightly and said to the woman.
"Oh my, but to be able to come out of the palace alive this time, I’m already very satisfied, and, I also got a lot of treasures this time around~" The woman said, then hehe smiled and told Bai Ling.
"Mm, I see you’ve had quite a rich harvest this time, it looks like in the future, the two of us will have to look after each other." Seeing this, Bai Ling nodded her head and replied.
