The short answer rushed into Gu Ling Xue's mind.

Night King? Even though she had just arrived in this continent, she already had a very deep impression of the name Night King. It was not that she had deliberately investigated him before, but as long as she lived in this town, the words' Night King 'could be heard anywhere.

Famous. Famous to everyone.

And at this time, the prince who was infamous throughout the Xilan for his insolence and coldness, who had even obtained the imperial power to lift the throne halfway, was actually the man who had accompanied him for half a year in front of him?

Gu Ling Xue frowned, she found it a little hard to believe.

However, Ye Ji did not plan to give her more time to digest everything, he only said: "From now on, this room belongs to you, if you feel that you can't stay in Gu Family anymore, you can come here."

Subconsciously shaking his head, Gu Ling Xue replied, "No need, Gu Family is living quite well."

"That's good." Ye Ji looked straight into Gu Ling Xue's eyes, and lifted her hand to help smooth the hair on her forehead, as though they were extremely intimate, causing Gu Ling Xue to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Without waiting for Gu Ling Xue to speak and stop him, Ye Ji's hand left. Then, she stood up and said something to the servant, turned and left.

Gu Ling Xue sat on the ground, slowly recovering her strength.

Slowly walking down the bed, Gu Ling Xue headed towards the door. Looking at the direction Ye Ji went in, she thought about how he looked when he left in a hurry.

But what happened?

After standing there blankly for a while, Gu Ling Xue was suddenly surprised by her worry for Ye Ji. Unknowingly, from the bottom of her heart, she had started to pay attention to her every move, every frown and smile.

Gu Ling Xue raised her hand to pat the back of her head, in an attempt to smack away those unfathomable thoughts, before leaving the Duke's Palace without saying a word.

Since the master had already left, what was the point in staying?

Only, Ye Ji's identity was too mysterious. He who possessed many identities, which one was his true face.

As he thought about it, Gu Ling Xue came to the cave where she had first met him.

After searching through the cave, he did not find any other traces, causing Gu Ling Xue to be a little disappointed.

It seemed like he had no clues at all.

Looking around, although Gu Ling Xue did not find any clues about Ye Ji, she suddenly realised that the cave was extremely peaceful, and would not be disturbed by anyone easily.

The corner of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and after returning to the cave, Gu Ling Xue once again took out the red smelting furnace and Spiritual Domain Art, determined to thoroughly study them.

Furthermore, most of the time, she relied on the effects of the inner pellets, and now, in order to refine a Rank 7 Body Refinement Pellet, she had to work even harder.

As Gu Ling Xue slowly flipped through the《 Spiritual Domain Art》 under the effect of her will, she took out the medicinal ingredients that she had prepared earlier and a small flame gradually rose up from the center of her palm.

Under Gu Ling Xue's control, the two slowly and regularly fused together within the red smelting furnace.

At this time, in the Gu Family's residence, an ugly face appeared in front of a mirror.

"Miss, an underling reported that someone saw Gu Ling Xue in Night King's manor."

As the maidservant spoke the words one by one, the already ugly face of the person in the mirror became even more ferocious.

"What?"

The hoarse female voice echoed in the room. When the servant girl heard the unpleasant voice, she couldn't help but frown before quickly starting to move. She was afraid that the person in the mirror would see, so she cautiously took two steps back to prevent the person in the mirror from smashing something again.

In the past half month, Miss had already destroyed countless things, and almost all of the furnishings in the room had been replaced with new ones. However, she still enjoyed smashing them while cursing at others.

"How could that woman be on the same level as Night King?" The tone in which he was investigating the question, however, exuded an odd calmness.

Suddenly, a burst of cold laughter resounded within the room. It entered the maid's ears and spread into her heart. That kind of creepy and terrifying feeling spread throughout the entire room.

"Heh, she's worthy?"

Suddenly standing up, he stopped staring at the mirror to resent his carelessness and ugliness, Gu Ling Hua suddenly had an extremely satisfying plan in his heart.

Gu Ling Xue, do you really think that just because you have escaped the title of trash, you have everything?

He picked up the bitter and bitter medicine bowl and swallowed it, Gu Ling Hua's originally ugly face revealed a trace of coldness, he then ordered the servant: "Go and request a doctor for me!"

"Yes, yes!" The maid was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly acknowledged him and ran off.

After all, this was the first time since her face had been ruined that she was willing to accept treatment, the first time she drank that bitter bowl of soup.

Gu Ling Hua stood by the window and looked in the direction of the Night King's Palace. She slowly raised her hand to stroke the wound on her face, but she still only stopped in the air for a moment.

Gu Ling Xue, you owe me, I will repay you double!

Unknowingly, dozens of days passed as Gu Ling Xue refined medicine nonstop.

Putting away the last bit of nine fires in his palm, Gu Ling Xue wiped his sweat with satisfaction and picked up the red smelting furnace's pellet. He placed it on his palm and looked at the pellet that had a glimmer of light on it.

In these ten days, he had already tried hundreds of times, but all he had obtained were ordinary pills. Some of them did not even have a rank, which made Gu Ling Xue, who was not confident in the first place, lose her confidence even more.

But, after trying again and again, it finally got rid of the arrogance in Gu Ling Xue's heart, and allowed her to get what she wanted.

A grade seven Nefarious Yang Pill could maximize the potential within the body. If a person consumed it, their power would increase by a level and if consumed by an ordinary person, it would be beneficial for raising their spirit energy.

Medicinal pills that could directly and violently raise one's spirit energy were considered the most valuable treasures in the Calore. However, they were Rank 7 pills, so their power and influence was nothing to scoff at.

Gu Ling Xue looked at the Yang You Pill that she had painstakingly refined, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

This pill would help him, who couldn't condense spiritual energy, a lot.

In the palm of his hand, the Level 7 Mystery Pellet emitted a weak yet beautiful glow. The pill itself also carried a faint fragrance.

Finally, the Luan who had been sleeping on Gu Ling Xue's wrist for half a month suddenly moved.

Without waiting for Gu Ling Xue to react, Luan, who was originally wrapped around Gu Ling Xue's wrist, instantly appeared in Gu Ling Xue's palm. She leaned over and took a whiff of the Level 7 Yang You Pill's smell, and without any hesitation, she swallowed a few Yang You Pills.

In the end, she did not forget to lick Gu Ling Xue's palm, showing that she still wanted to continue.

And all of this happened too suddenly.

From the time Luan woke up to when she swallowed a few Level 7 Nether Yang Pellets, only a few seconds had passed.

After consuming the pill, Luan even burped.

Gu Ling Xue stood in place, then without saying a word, picked up Luan, as though she did not believe that the Yang You Pellet, which she painstakingly refined, was gone just like that, turning Luan over and over.

"Stinky Snake, hand the pill over!" Gu Ling Xue hung Luan's tail upside down in her hands. She shook it with all her strength, attempting to shake out the pellet she had swallowed into Luan's stomach.

"The master is bad, the master is bad." A gentle and tender voice echoed in Gu Ling Xue's mind, and it seemed to carry a hint of a sobbing tone.

Thus, all that could be heard in Gu Ling Xue's mind was the crying of the Luan. She had no choice but to release the Luan into her hands, and only then did she stop the endless crying in her mind.

Gu Ling Xue was a little helpless, she kept having the feeling that this legendary Divine Beast was not reliable at all.

Just as Gu Ling Xue was considering whether she should send the snake away, the sound of a sharp blade tearing through the air suddenly came to her ears.

With an ingenious turn of her body, she narrowly avoided the sudden attack. Just as she landed, another arrow flew towards her.

Dodging the sudden attack, Gu Ling Xue ran towards the direction where the arrow came from without leaving a trace behind.

Since the empress had already settled the matter, and Gu Ling Hua's face had been disfigured, she dared not be rash. Then, who could it be this time?

Once again narrowly avoiding another arrow, Gu Ling Xue instantly disappeared into thin air.

The black-clothed men who were initially lying in ambush in the grass immediately stood up, and appeared together behind the grass, but they did not see any trace of Gu Ling Xue.

"Where is he?"

The leader of the men in black asked, but no one answered.

The man in black ruthlessly knocked on his companion's head. Just as he was about to come out and scold him, he found his companion forcefully lying on the ground, his head separated from his body.

The man in black jumped out of the bush and looked at the other men in black. He realized that they were all dead men.

How, how is this possible?

In just an instant, all the men in black except for him were killed?

The black-clothed men were unwilling to believe it. They ran over to the other brothers, touching them one by one. Unsurprisingly, they all fell to the ground, their heads and bodies split in half.

He placed his trembling hand on the shoulder of the last man in black. The man in black was ready to see his comrade fall.

Suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief. Finally, there was someone who was alive like him. The black-clothed person let out a long breath, and just as he wanted to reprimand the latter for not making a sound, a long blade suddenly appeared behind the black-clothed person and rested on another person's neck.

And then, the last man in black fell as well.

He believed that his martial arts were excellent, and those he brought along were all his favorite students. Of course, his martial arts were not that bad either. However, he did not expect that in just a short instant, everyone else had died.

As the person in front of him advanced, the black-clothed man could not help but retreat a lot.

Gu Ling Xue looked at the originally arrogant and weak man, his eyes filled with contempt.

A sharp mountain streaked across. The man's veil that he wore was slashed off, revealing a face that was different from the people from Xilan.

"Who are you?" Frowning, Gu Ling Xue obviously did not expect that the man in front of him would look so different from the masses.
