Chapter 303 - Actually, I Can't Use This Much…

"De-Demon Lord…"

Lanling Tianxuan lifted his head to look up at Ning Yechen, his expression filled with terror.

"Since you dared to scheme against this Lord's woman, you must have already prepared yourself, right?"

"Don't you worry, the entire Lanling Clan will accompany you."

Ning Yechen looked down on Lanling Tianxuan coldly, a contemptuous smile on his lips as a large number of Spirit-Devouring Bugs surged from the shadow at his feet!

The dense mass of Spirit-Devouring Bugs made a creepy, rustling sound and, in the blink of an eye, completely swallowed and submerged Lanling Tianxuan!

"Aaaah, De-Demon… urgh…!"

Lanling Tianxuan’s body was completely unable to move, a heart-piercing, bone-gnawing pain spreading through him. In his terror and despair, he reached out his arm towards Ning Yechen to beg for mercy.

He wanted to speak, but his mouth was already filled with Spirit-Devouring Bugs…

In just a moment, an Immortal Emperor was completely devoured by hundreds of millions of Spirit-Devouring Bugs, not a single bit left behind.

Fengxiao, prostrated at the side, took in this entire scene, so scared she didn't dare to breathe, her head lowered in trepidation.

How could someone in this world possess so many Spirit-Devouring Bugs…!

And the cultivation of each of these bugs is not low!

Spirit-Devouring Bugs only know how to devour and grow. They have no special abilities themselves, and even if they were to eat their way to the Immortal Emperor realm, a single one would pose no threat.

But that was the case for a single bug. If they gathered in a swarm, their terrifying nature was absolutely not ordinary!

No one would dare to provoke them!

Because once these little bugs burrowed into one's body, besides the heart-piercing, bone-gnawing pain, they could also devour you completely in the blink of an eye!

The Spirit-Devouring Bugs at this lord's feet were already enough to cause a panic in any of the realms!

If these Spirit-Devouring Bugs were let loose to feed, they could probably eat everything in these Immortal Realm Trials clean in a very short time!

After Lanling Tianxuan was eaten clean in an instant, the Spirit-Devouring Bugs, having lost their target, subconsciously began to explore on their own.

They all surged towards Fengxiao, who was kneeling on the other side…!

"M-My, my lord!"

In front of Ning Yechen, Fengxiao didn't dare to move rashly. Her face changed with fright as she called out to him with a trembling voice.

"Return." Ning Yechen ordered calmly.

The Spirit-Devouring Bugs all obediently stopped in their tracks, turned, and burrowed back into the shadow at Ning Yechen’s feet.

"Huu..." Fengxiao let out a sigh of relief.

She was truly scared to death…

She had almost thought that Ning Yechen was planning to feed her to the Spirit-Devouring Bugs as well…

"You can go now."

After glancing at Fengxiao, Ning Yechen left her with those words and turned to leave with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you, my lord…"

Fengxiao kowtowed in gratitude, trembling.

Just as she was preparing to get up and leave, she suddenly stopped, a new thought in her mind.

Wait, that's not right…

This Frigid Heaven Ice Grotto was her home. Where was she supposed to go…

Besides, to leave just like this, her heart was also filled with endless reluctance and regret…

After hesitating for a moment in her heart, Fengxiao still mustered her courage and cautiously followed behind Ning Yechen.

"Hmm?"

Ning Yechen, noticing that Fengxiao had not left, stopped, turned to the side, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, th-this, this is my home…" Fengxiao said weakly, shrinking her neck, her heart trembling with fear.

Only then did Ning Yechen have an epiphany.

This Frigid Heaven Ice Grotto was originally Fengxiao’s territory; he had forgotten…

"Rest assured, this Lord has no interest in this place of yours and will be leaving shortly."

Ning Yechen, thinking that Fengxiao was afraid he wouldn't leave and was trying to drive her away, spoke to reassure her.

"If you like it, my lord, then this place is yours."

"It's just…"

"I have a favor to ask of you, my lord…"

Fengxiao hesitated again and again, but in the end, unable to part with it, she spoke.

"What is it?" Ning Yechen asked with a frown.

Yulin was one thing, but now the Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix also has a favor to ask of him…?

He had no intention of adopting another pet for his child.

Fortunately, the favor Fengxiao was asking was not to entrust a child to him, but with an almost begging attitude, she held up a finger and said:

"My lord, I have guarded that celestial ganoderma for over a thousand years…"

"Could you leave me one leaf of it…"

"No, no, no, half a leaf will do!"

"If that's not possible, a piece the size of a fingernail will also be fine…"

The more Fengxiao spoke, the less confident she became. Frightened, she changed her initial request from one finger to half, and then indicated that a piece the size of a fingernail would also be acceptable.

Ning Yechen had thought Fengxiao was going to ask some great favor of him, but it turned out she simply couldn't bear to part with the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma she had guarded for over a thousand years…

"This Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma was able to grow to such a state because you guarded it here for over a thousand years."

"If not for you, I'm afraid this ten-thousand-year-old ganoderma would not exist."

"This Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma should belong to you."

"It was we who have rudely disturbed you."

"I need this celestial ganoderma to heal my mother's injuries. I only need to take one piece. The rest will be returned to you."

Before Ning Yechen could answer, Luo Ruying, who had heard the conversation, walked over holding Luo Hongye.

Hearing that Fengxiao had guarded this ten-thousand-year-old Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma for over a thousand years, she felt too embarrassed to take it all without leaving a single trace.

"R-Really…!"

Hearing Luo Ruying’s words, Fengxiao looked at her, her eyes full of gratitude and anticipation.

Luo Ruying nodded with a faint smile.

However, Ning Yechen, standing behind Luo Ruying, frowned slightly at Fengxiao.

Fengxiao was so scared she swallowed her saliva and hurriedly changed her words:

"Actually, I can't use this much…"

"I only need one piece, i-is that alright…?"

After speaking, Fengxiao cautiously looked towards Ning Yechen, as if seeking his opinion…

"Is one piece enough?"

Luo Ruying, still thinking Fengxiao was negotiating with her, couldn't help but ask with confusion.

The value of a ten-thousand-year-old immortal medicine was rare in the world, and Fengxiao had specially guarded it for over a thousand years, yet she said one piece was enough…

She's not greedy at all…

"It's enough, it's enough, one piece is enough…!" Fengxiao hurriedly nodded and replied.

She was afraid that if she were any later, she wouldn't even get a single piece…

"My wife, since she has said so, then you should keep the rest."

"This Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma will also be of great use to your future cultivation."

Ning Yechen, afraid that his own wife would foolishly want to return the ganoderma, hurriedly spoke up.

"Mmm… alright." Luo Ruying hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

She did indeed need to recover her former cultivation as soon as possible, and the medicinal effects of this Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma would be of great benefit to her cultivation.

"Senior Ice Phoenix."

Luo Ruying plucked a leaf from the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma and presented it to Fengxiao out of thin air.

"Thank you~!"

Fengxiao took the ganoderma leaf, so moved she almost burst into tears.

To be able to get even one leaf of the ganoderma in the end, she was already extremely satisfied…

Her thousand years of guardianship had been rewarded after all…

Luo Ruying looked at the deeply moved Fengxiao and couldn't help but be amused. Then, as if remembering something, she asked:

"By the way, I have a matter I'd like to ask."

"May I ask Senior Ice Phoenix if you know what lies in the depths of this Extreme Cold Land…?"

At this moment, here in the Frigid Heaven Ice Grotto, the calling she felt in her mind was becoming clearer and clearer!

Fengxiao had been here for over a thousand years; perhaps she would know something…
