My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 93: Cave Within the Cave



Step by step, the two approached the cold pond where the green mist was even denser.

Wave after wave of special, cold Elemental Energy wind attacked them. Lou Mu Yan felt slight pain on her skin from the breeze. Just as she was about to mobilise her Spiritual Energy to protect her body, a sudden warmth came from the palm of her hand and spread around her body. That painful feeling instantly disappeared.

Lou Mu Yan glanced sideways at Ming Xiu whose expression she couldn’t quite see clearly. The strength of this man was a mystery even to her. She could only feel that he was very strong.

“It’s starting to advance.” Ming Xiu looked ahead and said.

Lou Mu Yan also felt the surrounding Spiritual Force of Heaven and earth begin to swarm into the depths of the cold pond, violently swirling. But this was only just the beginning. With the fluctuation of energy from the advancement of the Scarlet-Frost Jiao being so strong, its strength shouldn’t be underestimated.

“You came to the Glacial Mountain Range this time for it?” Lou Mu Yan always felt that the reason Ming Xiu came to the Glacial Mountain Range wasn’t so simple.

Ming Xiu took off the silver mask on his face, revealing that chiselled and handsome face as if having been intricately and precisely carved. His light red lips curled into a pleasant arc, “Taking its Crystal Core is just in passing.”

When Lou Mu Yan saw the devilish man’s face again, she couldn’t help but be amazed at the exceptional beauty again. She concealed the fluctuations in her eyes and said: “You didn’t happen to come to the Glacial Mountain Range for the Trial competition did you?” But their low-end Selection Trial shouldn’t have attracted Ming Xiu.

“Of course not. I came to the Glacial Mountain Range for the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal that’s about to sublimate and take shape.” Ming Xiu didn’t conceal it either.

Hearing that Ming Xiu replaced the words ‘This Highness’ with ‘I’, Lou Mu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Removing his honorific ‘This Highness’ so that she and him were considered equal, was this man showing her good will?

And when she heard ‘Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal’, Lou Mu Yan’s eyes flickered brightly.

The Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal could only be formed in an iceberg at least ten thousand years of age. At first, it would be in a liquid form, which was a pale golden colour. After it condensed into a Spar, it would become a dark golden. It contained an indestructible energy, with an extremely hard texture. It was one of the best main materials for refining Natal Magic Treasures.

Because the conditions for formation were very harsh, it must take more than thousands of years to crystallise. So it was a rare Spiritual Item even in the Spirit World, with one hardly found even in a thousand years. Its price would also be sky-high. Who knew that it would actually be birthed in a land where Spiritual Items were so scarce.

“How do you know that it’s about to sublimate?” Lou Mu Yan asked curiously with a smile.

“A Sword King discovered it by chance when he accidentally broke into an ice volcano. But that day, the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal was guarded by a powerful Demonic Beast. He struggled with serious injuries and had to use a Secret Skill to escaped. I rushed over when I got the news.” Ming Xiu said as he pulled Lou Mu Yan forward.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed some understanding. The formation of ice volcanoes were extremely unique and rare. It would only be formed in ten-thousand-year-old icebergs. Underground, there birthed fiery, thick liquid that thawed the iceberg. It wouldn’t erupt, but it would produce a lot of Spiritual Items, and was also one of nature’s wonders.

“Did the Ten Distinguished Clans of the Eastern Region also receive the news?” Lou Mu Yan suddenly remembered how the Ten Distinguished Clans inexplicably set the Trial site at the Glacial Mountain Range, plus Ye Qing Han’s secret words, so it wasn’t difficult to imagine that the Trial was a kind of camouflage.

A smile of admiration rose in Ming Xiu’s eyes. This little woman was indeed intelligent. From the news of the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal alone, she could guess the purpose of the Ten Distinguished Clans.

“The first one to obtain the news was precisely the Ten Distinguished Clans, and they also sealed the news. If it weren’t that I just happened to be in the Eastern Region travelling, even if I received the news, I’d have arrived too late.”

“You mean that other Empires and big forces don’t know about this news, or even if they knew, they’d arrive too late?” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes glowed with brilliance. If they didn’t have the participation of those large entities, then maybe she’d also be able to obtain some Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal to use to refine her Natal Magic Treasure with.

“Indeed.” Ming Xiu saw the brilliance in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes, then asked with a smile: “What, you’re also interested?”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him and spoke with a firm tone: “Those who aren’t interested in such Spiritual Items must be fools. I want to refine a Magic Treasure. If I use the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal as the main material, then it’ll definitely increase its quality by a few levels. I’m definitely going to join in on the fun.”

“You can also refine tools?” Ming Xiu couldn’t help displaying surprise.

Lou Mu Yan raised her graceful chin with a little look of confidence and pride, “Of course.”

“Who knew that I picked up a treasure.” Ming Xiu liked this sort of appearance on this little woman tremendously. He chuckled and held Lou Mu Yan’s hand tightly.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at him, then huffed: “What does it have to do with you?”

Although she insisted that on her lips, but her smooth, jade-white face was unconsciously dyed with a layer of pink.

Ming Xiu couldn’t help laughing aloud, but also stopped teasing her. Although it was fun to provoke the little wild cat, but now wasn’t time yet.

[BOOM BOOM!!] Suddenly, a great thunder sounded from the horizon, and lighting flashed by in the distance.

“It’s actually facing a Thunder Tribulation and is about to transform.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed slight caution.

Ming Xiu’s eyes darkened, and he quickly pulled Lou Mu Yan towards the deep pond, “Go, let’s kill it before it transforms.”

The two were extremely fast. With the black gem enveloping them, the green mist couldn’t get close to them, so they flew into the cold pond without any obstacles and dived towards the bottom. Thunder and lightning shined brightly non-stop.

A quarter of an hour later, the two dived to the bottom of the deep pond. There was a large cave entrance below, and after entering the cave, there was a very wide, open space. On the open space, some light purple Spiritual Herbs grew sporadically, and in the deepest part, there was another cave within this cave.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up when she looked at the few purple Spiritual Herbs that grew sporadically—these were the Deep Orchids.

[ROAR!!] [HISS!!] Suddenly, two beast roars with a strong and powerful pressure came from the cave within the cave, and the whole cave shook.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu exchanged glances and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. It seemed that a Demonic Beast was a step ahead and had hidden itself here, wanting to ambush the Scarlet-Frost Jiao.

The most important thing was that the Demonic Beast that lurked here could actually evade both their perceptions. It wasn’t only strong, but it also definitely had some sort of hidden innate talent that could conceal its figure.

“You guys be careful. Although the Demonic Beast that ambushed the Scarlet-Frost Jiao is only an Advanced-Phase Tier 6 Ice Toad, but it’s a Mutant Demonic Beast. Not only does it have a hidden innate talent, but it also has a venom-sac. You mustn’t let the venom in its sac be sprayed on you, otherwise even if you don’t die, you’d become handicapped.” Mo Yan stared at the cave within the cave gravely, and informed Lou Mu Yan of the information he found.

After listening to Mo Yan’s words, Lou Mu Yan stared gravely ahead and reminded Ming Xiu: “The one who ambushed the Scarlet-Frost Jiao is a Mutant Toad that has a hidden innate talent, and also deadly venom. Be careful after entering. You mustn’t be sprayed with the venom from its sac.”

Ming was curious, how did this little woman know the abilities of the Demonic Beast inside? When he glanced at the little white beast standing on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulders, an understanding crossed his eyes.

At first glance, he also regarded it as a Fire-Cloud Mink, but he always felt that something wasn’t right. Just now, the little beast sent out a very slight fluctuation of Mental Energy used for probing, that he discovered, and he just happened to know this kind of Mental Energy—it was precisely the King-Class Demonic Beast, the Spirit Devourer race’s innate talent.

At this time, he had to admire Lou Mu Yan in his heart: This little woman’s eyes sure were sharp.

[BOOM BOOM!!] Fierce roars and fights resounded from the cave within the cave.

“Let’s go take a look as well.”

After Ming Xiu finished speaking, he held Lou Mu Yan and flew into the cave within the cave and added a circle of Elemental Energy shield around her for protection.
