My Beautiful Duchess Wife

Lin Peng estimated that such flames, if they hit those specially made weapons, would definitely melt them. Moreover, such flames possessed far greater offensive power. And his own ability to control flames seemed to have improved as well!

After chuckling twice, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar. This sound startled Klinks awake. Looking at Lin Peng with fear, he stammered, "Your Majesty...the knights of the church are coming! We...we'd better run! Waaah..."

Immediately, she burst into tears.

Looking towards where the youths had been standing, Lin Peng seemed to remember something and chuckled, "Kid, didn't you just tell me to kill them? Now, why are you crying? Hehe... Do you think you can order me around?"

Of course, Lin Peng was clearly just trying to scare the kid. However, the kid naively thought Lin Peng was angry. He started trembling all over and looked at Lin Peng with a surprised expression.

"Your Majesty... I... I didn't mean that. Waaaaah... The Templar Knights are here, they're coming to capture me. I summoned a demon, and they're coming to get me. Waaaaah..."

The sight of the little boy, Klinks, crying, his tiny head bobbing up and down, suddenly made Lin Peng feel a pang of pity. Ever since he went to the Demon Realm, it seemed that killing someone had become commonplace! They, though demons, were still living beings, weren't they?

Lin Peng was lost in thought when the sound of horses' hooves stopped. Everyone stared at Lin Peng, who was holding Klink.

There were probably nearly twenty knights who came! However, at first glance, Lin Peng almost burst out laughing. They were all mid-level demons.

One of them was slightly more powerful, possessing the strength of a high-level demon. However, the horses they rode were exactly the same kind of horses he had seen in his previous life.

Gone were the horns, gone were the distinctive scales. After a slight pause, she turned to look at the sky. From the beginning, she'd felt that the red moon tonight was unusually hot. Of course, she'd considered that it might be due to the sunlight. But looking up at the sky again, she was utterly dumbfounded!

Not the Demon Realm?

So… this little boy must be a real human! And those knights… wait, the church? The little boy seemed to have said they were knights of the church?

"Don't cry!" Lin Peng suddenly raised his voice and shouted. Klinks' brown hair trembled slightly.

Seeing Lin Peng's fierce face, she immediately stopped crying. Lin Peng, however, frowned and asked, "Where is this?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the outskirts of Ver City!" Klinks stammered, looking at Lin Peng's face, which had just been revealed, with some curiosity.

Originally, with his entire body engulfed in flames and Lin Peng's deliberate intimidation, he was indeed quite frightening. However, now that the flames had subsided, Klinks suddenly realized that this man actually had a certain charm. He was quite handsome. He seemed to be a human, not some kind of demon!

"Sir, did you release that pillar of fire just now?" The knight, a high-ranking demon, slowly stepped out of the ranks, bowed to Lin Peng, and asked politely.

Lin Peng's sharp eyes fixed on the knights. All he saw were silver armor. Even the horses appeared to be white.

Each of them looked handsome and extraordinary. Looking at Klinks again, he realized he had never seen such a wrinkled shirt in the Demon Realm before.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Peng muttered, "Could it be... that I've time-traveled again?"

Chapter Ninety-Two: I Am a Master

A gentle breeze stirred, raising wisps of sand that helped Lin Peng regain his senses. He shook his head, trying to clear his head. Klinks, however, remained staring blankly at Lin Peng. Finally, the knight, possessing the strength of a high-ranking demon, snorted with displeasure, "Sir, even a master should maintain a certain level of decorum. At the very least, you should answer my question. We are the guardian knights of the church; the flames just now caused our city lord some panic!"

The knights, who had initially been quite polite, instantly changed their attitude. In particular, when the church knights were mentioned, they all wore expressions of pride.

One of them was practically strutting around with his nose in the air. Klinks also snapped out of his daze, then grabbed Lin Peng by the collar and yelled, "They're knights of the church! You'd better get out of here! Otherwise, if they find out you're a demon, you'll be burned at the stake!"

Lin Peng was speechless, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. "Young man, the way you're calling them, it's obvious they already know!" He shook his head helplessly and looked at the knights again.

At this moment, the knights seemed to be completely stunned as well.

"Um, huh? How do I get back?" Lin Peng scratched his head, asking Klinks with a hint of helplessness. At least, since Klinks summoned him here, he should be able to go back, right?

Klinks gaped, seemingly incredulous: "You won't go back by yourself? How is that possible? Demons, don't they all come and go on their own?"

The knights nearly collapsed to the ground upon hearing this. Especially the knight with the strength of a high-ranking demon, who chuckled coldly: "Demons, huh? I bet you're all cultists of darkness! Hmph, trying to lure us out so you can wipe us all out in one fell swoop, huh! I'd like to see just how strong you really are!"

The knight beside the horse drew his longsword, which gleamed in the sunlight. Lin Peng completely ignored the so-called knights.

She asked, on the verge of tears, "Brother, I called you brother, okay? Stop joking around. You're the one who summoned me out, you have to take me back!"

Klinks was completely dumbfounded. Had the sun damaged his brain? What, he was calling his slave brother?

That tiny head seemed to be overwhelmed all at once. And the "highly skilled" knight simply couldn't bear it any longer.

Disdain, utter disdain. They didn't even glance at him. Behind him, the knights, all mid-level demons, angrily drew their longswords.

The longsword was pointed at Lin Peng's location. Klinks, somewhat frightened, burrowed directly into Lin Peng's arms, while Lin Peng slowly stood up.

Like a passerby, he asked, "Excuse me, how can I return to the Demon Realm?"

The knights charging at him nearly fell from their horses. Their faces were flushed red; they were determined to kill Lin Peng. Just as the first knight's longsword was about to pierce Lin Peng's head, Lin Peng flicked his fingers, instantly catching the sword between two of his fingers.

With a gentle flick of his wrist, Lin Peng sent the rider flying. The horse, without even stopping, was kicked into the air by Lin Peng's foot.

Klinks stared wide-eyed at the galloping horse, almost in disbelief. The knights behind him quickly pulled on the reins, trying to stop their horses from moving forward.

The group of knights stared at each other in disbelief, some even thinking they were dreaming.

Lin Peng sighed helplessly: "Is it necessary? I was just asking for directions, not trying to kill you. If it were about killing you, you would all be dead by now!"

As he spoke, he held Klinks in one arm and stretched out the other. After snapping his fingers, a fireball more than a meter in diameter floated directly next to his shoulder.

Klinks seemed startled, then looked towards the fireball. He thought to himself, "The Balrog is so powerful!"

The knights exchanged bewildered glances, genuinely caught off guard. A knight openly attacking a church was no small offense.

Perhaps, if things go wrong, one could be burned at the stake!

The knight captain who had been thrown out struggled to his feet. His golden hair and handsome face were now covered in blood, making him look quite disheveled.

The longsword in his hand was now severely deformed. It was barely enough to support his body, let alone fight with.

For some unknown reason, the wound on Lin Peng's chest began to heal slowly. At the same time, the excruciating pain gradually disappeared.

She paused slightly, then gently tapped her heart with her finger. Suddenly, the pain returned. Her lips twitched slightly, and she muttered to herself, "So, I really can't touch it?"

Then, as if remembering something, the phrase "seven-colored flower" popped into her mind. Right, it seems Medusa said that although this Heart-Eating Powder wasn't the authentic kind, it could only be cured with the seven-colored flower, right?

He gently rubbed his chin with two fingers, pondering how to actually obtain that seven-colored flower. At that moment, the captain behind him finally regained his footing.

After taking a deep breath, he immediately shouted, "Hurry up and kill this guy! How dare you attack our church's knights directly! Even if you're a disciple of those masters, you're dead today!"

Lin Peng was taken aback, glancing at the fireball he had created. It seemed to be saying, "Can't I be a master? In fact, it seems I'm a true master now!"

The knights, after a moment of surprise, roared and their horses neighed before charging towards Lin Peng. Nearly twenty riders charged in an orderly fashion; the scene was nothing to Lin Peng. However, for Klinks, it was far too powerful.

Suddenly, those blue eyes widened, looking somewhat dumbfounded.

Lin Peng's eyes twitched. These people really weren't afraid of death. That giant fireball alone should have been enough to give them a run for their money!

He shook his head slightly, seemingly puzzled. At the same time, the large fireball beside him began to move slowly.

Flames, seemingly enraged, began to churn and surge. Then, Lin Peng pointed his finger, and they instantly flew towards the knights.

The fireball, like a real comet, hurtled directly towards the land in front of the knights.

Boom...

Starting directly from the ground assault point, countless flames erupted instantly, as if the target had been directly hit by a missile.

A massive burst of flames and smoke instantly engulfed all the knights. Klinks' eyes widened, somewhat unable to react. Behind him, the once handsome knight's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

It's just a big fireball, yet it has such power. Why don't we usually see the church's magicians create such powerful fireballs?

Suddenly, the handsome knight's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground.

Lin Peng's lips curled into a cold laugh. The towering shockwave and flames slowly subsided. At the same time, the knights and their warhorses vanished without a trace.

It is foreseeable that they will all turn into a pile of ashes.

He gently blew on his fingers, slowly turned around, and chuckled as he looked at the knight captain: "How about it? I'm not bad, am I? Hehe, I'm a master. A master needs no explanation!"

Seeing Lin Peng's pretentious manner, the knight captain's legs trembled, and he almost fainted. As he slowly walked over, he squatted down, silently looked at the captain's head, and then suddenly turned it around.

In an instant, Lin Peng ripped off a head.

Klinks immediately closed his eyes, looking like he was about to vomit! Lin Peng pursed his lips, pretending not to see anything...

Chapter Ninety-Three: Lord Flame Demon

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the scorching heat of the flames, quietly carrying away all the heat! At this moment, Klinks finally vomited. Lin Peng put Klinks down abruptly; he still felt a little sorry for such a small child. But knowing his personality, he knew he had to face it.

A stubborn boy will definitely grow up to be a stubborn man. Therefore, he must never be too averse to bloodshed in the days to come.

Otherwise, his personality would really be wasted!

After vomiting for a long time, Klinks finally recovered. He stopped looking at the once handsome but now headless knight and said, "We'd better leave quickly, otherwise, if we stay here, the other experts from the church will also come!"

Klinks looked very anxious, and his eyes were even reddening as he looked at Lin Peng. This short period of time was really overwhelming for Klinks.

Lin Peng pursed his lips, then glanced in the direction of Ville City before nodding. He then picked up Klinks, and flames instantly erupted from his entire body.

Slowly, a pair of fiery wings emerged from its back. With a powerful flap, it took flight: "Over there?"

Klinks was quite surprised; he hadn't expected the demon to actually lift him up and fly away. Weren't demons supposed to be incredibly ferocious?

After a slight pause, Klinks pointed his small finger in one direction: "Over there, Keelung Village!"

After Lin Peng nodded, his fiery wings suddenly flapped.

Immediately, it flew rapidly in that direction.

However, when Lin Peng arrived in the village, he truly discovered just how harsh life was in Klinks. It was a place where people could literally starve to death!

Everywhere there were dilapidated houses, mostly made of mud. And it wasn't until Lin Peng descended that he truly saw that the village seemed to be populated entirely by elderly people and children!

When Lin Peng landed, there weren't many people in the village. But as soon as he entered, he saw rows of thin, sallow-faced old people leading children towards the fields at the other end of the village. Lin Peng had seen them from the air; that small plot of land, barely fertile, was hardly enough to feed all these people.

There were about a dozen elderly people and about a dozen older children around twelve or thirteen years old. When they saw Klinks, they seemed very happy and rushed over.

One by one, they started chattering away. However, judging from their faces, it was clear that they were extremely hungry and lacked food.

Seeing this scene, Lin Peng felt a pang of sadness. He had lived through those days himself. Back then, he truly lived by begging or scavenging for a living.

His eyes reddened slightly. There should be some food in the ring, right? Thinking of this, he immediately channeled his mental energy into the ring.

Instantly, a large pile of food appeared in front of Lin Peng. Most of it was meat. Some was the meat of magical beasts, and some was the meat of those earth crawling beasts.

The appearance of this meat caused the old men to pause slightly. The hand that had been stroking Klink's head stopped abruptly.

All eyes turned to Lin Peng. At that moment, the children were also staring at Lin Peng, for reasons unknown.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips, as if to express his gentleness. Pointing to the food on the ground, he chuckled, "Grandpa, let's give this food to the children first. They'll have the energy to work after they eat! Haha..."

That hearty laughter excited everyone.

Only Klinks knew Lin Peng's true identity. He glanced at Lin Peng hesitantly, then immediately picked up the meat and offered it to the old men: "Take this!"
