My gorgeous wife Chapter 2235 - 2203: Beyoncé
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
The eighteen layers of space in the Demon Realm are similar in size.
However, the deeper you go, the higher the concentration of Origin Demon Qi. In this first layer of the Demon Realm space, although the region is vast, when combined, there are only a dozen or so abysses.
This layer of Demon Realm space is managed by these dozen or so abysses.
Of course, the area managed by an abyss is quite limited. After all, as a strong Abyssal Lord Level entity, the main focus is still on their own cultivation. In a place where the concentration of Origin Demon Qi is not dense, they don’t have much leisure to manage their territory, which makes the first layer of Demon Realm space extremely chaotic.
Especially since entering the Banquet Era, many creatures of the Demon Realm with originally low cultivation began to emerge, and Domain Demon Kings appeared one after another, making the entire first layer of the Demon Realm space even more chaotic.
Led by a group of creatures of the Demon Realm into a seemingly decent small city, Li Chen and Ning Wangyang entered only to witness various chaotic scenes.
Deception, kidnapping, theft, are common occurrences, and they had only walked through two streets before witnessing a murder in broad daylight.
"Has it always been this chaotic here? Doesn’t anyone manage it?"
Sitting in a barely satisfactory tavern, Li Chen asked a group of robber flunkies nodding and flattering beside him.
"Sir, you might not know, there’s no Abyssal Lord managing this area, and several Demon Kings are vying for territory around, so it’s been quite disorderly. Even the lord of this Yin Desolate City changes every few days," the Black-horned Green-skinned Demon Race member smirked, but his eyes kept glancing at Li Chen.
With his many years of experience in the Demon Realm, he naturally could see that Li Chen was clearly the main one, but he dared not inquire about their origins.
What keen eyesight Li Chen has?
After smiling, he shrugged, "We are not from this layer of space, entered the Starry Sky for hundreds of years, just recently returned to the Demon Realm."
The implication was they were just passing through.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Black-horned Green-skinned Demon’s eyes showed a look of sudden realization.
Being able to enter the Starry Sky, without a doubt, they are definitely strong entities above the Demon King level.
Moreover, having entered the Starry Sky for hundreds of years, it means these two achieved Demon King status during the Flourishing Era?
Oh dear, then in this Banquet Era, what level of strength are these two at now?
The Black-horned Green-skinned Demon swallowed his saliva, his mind racing. There was no chance to rise in this first layer of space; only by entering deeper layers of the Demon Realm could there be better opportunities. He was already considering how to follow these two to more profound layers of the Demon Realm space.
Unfortunately, he did not know that these two were not people of the Demon Realm at all.
Just then, a commotion erupted in the tavern, and another dramatic scene unfolded.
A creature covered in black scales with vertical pupils led a group into where Li Chen and others were, surrounding a female.
The woman was completely human-shaped, unknown if transformed or originally of the Human Race, showing a weak expression facing the surrounding group of strong entities.
"Beyoncé, your husband borrowed three Yuanling Pills from me, when do you plan to pay them back?" The black-scaled vertical-pupil humanoid creature assessed the woman, speaking with unconcealed lust in his eyes.
"My husband?" The woman’s face showed a crying expression: "He’s already been killed by you, what Yuanling Pills, you just won’t let me go, right?"
"Looks like you’re planning on not repaying your debt?" The black-scaled vertical-pupil Demon sneered, reaching to grab the woman: "Then we have no choice, since you won’t repay voluntarily, we brothers will have to take action ourselves."
Beside him, Ning Wangyang’s hand twitched slightly on the table but relaxed upon Li Chen’s glance.
Li Chen dug his ear and, grinning, watched the dramatic scene.
Wangyang is good in many ways, just cold most of the time, but his sense of justice is too strong.
And naturally, the Black-horned Green-skinned Demon’s group wouldn’t act. They’ve seen such things too many times here.
Just as the black-scaled vertical-pupil reached toward the woman, her pupils suddenly changed color, and in a blink, her blue eyes turned entirely black.
At the moment her eyes turned black, her body surged with Demonic Qi, catching the black-scaled vertical-pupil group before they could react, impaling them through completely.
In the blink of an eye, the entire group perished tragically, unable to rest in peace.
Because until death, they couldn’t understand how the family of a Little Devil they easily slaughtered could have such a terrifying wife.
"High... High Grade Demon!"
At this moment, finally someone from the Black-horned Green-skinned group stammered.
This is the Demon Realm; High Grade Demons here are different from those in the Lower Realm.
In the Demon Realm, High Grade Demons represent absolute strength.
Because compared to most races, the talent of High Grade Demons, especially in the Demon Realm, is infinitely stronger; whether in cultivation or in the speed of consuming Origin Demon Qi, High Grade Demons hold an absolute advantage.
Even among those of the same level, the combat power of High Grade Demons is far beyond ordinary Demons.
Ning Wangyang blinked, showing Li Chen a helpless look, admitting that Li Chen was much better at judging people.
This female high-grade demon’s hidden strength is truly formidable, even he couldn’t see through it.
Until the female high-grade demon erupted in power, the entire floor was plunged into silence, and the innkeeper dared not cause trouble over the death, nor did anyone on that floor dare meet her gaze.
Only Li Chen was still looking at her with great interest.
"Hey!" The female high-grade demon glared at Li Chen with annoyance, "Aren’t you afraid of death, staring at me like that?"
In her eyes, Li Chen and Ning Wangyang were merely Demon Kings, while she, after the arrival of the Banquet Era, had already cultivated to the Abyss Lord level, now just a step away from becoming an Abyssal Great Lord.
If it weren’t for the agreement with her sister to delve deeper into the Demon Realm to open the abyss, she would have dominated a region long ago.
Li Chen shook his head with a smile, "Not afraid."
The woman’s black eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, the foreheads of the Black-horned Green-skinned Demon Race were already seeping with cold sweat.
They couldn’t discern how strong the female high-grade demon was, nor could they measure the strength of Li Chen and Ning Wangyang.
But under the current circumstances, even a blind person could see this was a fierce battle of gods and they were caught in the middle, a careless move and their lives were at risk!
At this moment, Li Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed.
With that grab, it was as if all the creatures on the floor were suddenly clasped by something. As Li Chen gently opened his hand, everyone on the floor abruptly disappeared.
When they realized it, they were already on the streets outside.
Moreover, they were a street or two away from the inn where they had been!
"How... did we get here?" The Black-horned Green-skinned Demon Race was still dazed, but when he turned back to look at the inn, he couldn’t help but reveal a look of horror in his eyes.
What had that person done just now to make them appear outside?
"This... is the Space Law, and it’s an exceptionally powerful Space Law. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been completely unaware, let alone resist..." Having realized this, the Black-horned Green-skinned Demon Race dared not think about seeking alliances, their priority was not losing their lives, so they led a group of brothers and fled in disgrace.
If that person was in a bad mood and threw them into turbulent spatial flows, they’d truly have nowhere to cry.
Facing Li Chen’s move, Ning Wangyang’s expression remained calm, without any reaction.
No matter how astonishing it was, in the hands of the boss, it was still commonplace, let alone this minor commotion.
Only as Ning Wangyang drank the fiery specialty of the Demon Realm, he began to scrutinize the female high-grade demon.
"Your name is Beyoncé, right?" Li Chen tilted his head slightly, curiously looking at this female high-grade demon.
Beyoncé was cautious, Li Chen’s earlier move had already demonstrated he was definitely not a simple Demon King. Could a Demon King possess such an ability to effortlessly toss people away?
Back when she was merely a Demon King, her strategy was only to fight bitterly.
Moreover, she could see that was indeed the power of the Space Law.
Since ancient times, those who possessed the Space Law were recognized as difficult adversaries.
"Yes, who are you?" Beyoncé was secretly wary, ready to strike at any moment.
In a place like the Demon Realm, there were too many schemes, one moment they’re brotherly with you, the next they might strike viciously for your life. Such occurrences were too common in the Demon Realm, not to mention exchanges where meeting was never well-intentioned.
"You don’t need to worry about who I am," Li Chen shook his head and smiled, seemingly amused by Beyoncé’s wariness, "Don’t be so tense, I just want to ask you a question." "What question?" Beyoncé did not ease her guard in the slightest because of Li Chen’s words, and was even ready to flee at any moment.
She had tried very hard to probe into Li Chen’s depths but could glean nothing.
Not only Li Chen, even Ning Wangyang beside him, she couldn’t probe.
"What’s your relationship with Christina?" Li Chen asked.
What surprised Li Chen was Beyoncé’s face turned pale, and she was about to flee the moment she heard his words.
But before she could flee, Li Chen snapped his fingers.
"Boom!!"
Beyoncé only felt herself collide with an extremely hard spatial barrier, her whole being bounced back.
Turning her head, Beyoncé realized she had encountered a strong adversary she couldn’t resist and looked at Li Chen and Ning Wangyang with a face full of despair, "Just kill me, I won’t tell you where my sister is even if I die!"
Li Chen was taken aback, "Christina is your sister?"
"You came to capture me just to find my sister, didn’t you?" Beyoncé said with indignation.
Li Chen’s expression grew peculiar, and he chuckled, "That’s quite a coincidence."
