My Beautiful Duchess Wife

Basically, it's just a matter of grabbing food and eating it casually. And it's absolutely not illegal!

After glancing at the somewhat frightened Klinks, he immediately picked Klinks up and ran towards that direction at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at their destination. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a woman with blood on her face, locked in a stalemate with the tiger.

The woman wore a long dress, appearing dignified and ladylike. In her hand, she held a dagger that looked like a chopstick. Her face was covered in blood, even the stray strand of hair in her hair was stained with blood.

The man looked extremely disheveled. The tiger, on the other hand, was incredibly ferocious, appearing ready to pounce and tear him apart at any moment.

Lin Peng's lips twitched slightly, then he looked at Klinks beside him. It seemed he was asking, "Should we save this woman?" Klinks rolled his eyes, as if to say, "You demons, you actually know how to save people?"

The woman noticed the expressions on the two men's faces. Her large, expressive eyes glanced in their direction.

When she saw Lin Peng, she was stunned for a moment, then her gaze shone on Lin Peng with a pleading look.

Shaking his head helplessly, he slowly walked towards the tiger. Before he even took a step, the tiger seemed to have an innate ability to sense danger.

Surprisingly, it turned around and tried to escape. Of course, how could Lin Peng let this tiger get away! Before he could even leap up, its figure had already vanished in an instant.

With his hand shaped like a knife, he leaped high above the tiger, then struck it squarely on the back. Before he could even roar, the tiger crashed to the ground.

After struggling for a moment, he finally collapsed to the ground. The woman, her face covered in blood, was momentarily stunned. This attack was clean and decisive.

Moreover, its strength was immense. The tiger's entire spine seemed to have been shattered, and it went limp. It was clear that this was an absolute master.

I've never seen such a young and highly skilled person before!

Lin Peng had no time for this woman. He casually picked up the tiger, which was much taller than him, and slung it over his shoulder, yelling, "Hey kid, what are you looking at? Get out of here!"

The two slowly started walking in another direction. This time, Lin Peng really intended to catch a lot of prey, which might be enough to support the village for a long time!

The elderly people in the village could also come to hunt. It's just that, for some reason, they seem afraid of being discovered, and always guard their small plot of land very vigilantly.

Even though life was tough, they persevered. "If that's the case, I'll just leave it to me!" Lin Peng thought. Meanwhile, Klinks, who loved plenty of prey, was even more eager.

After the two seemed to casually stroll around, the food on Lin Peng's back could practically be counted in tons. Meanwhile, the woman who had been hiding behind them stared in astonishment, her mouth agape.

Because, during a surprise attack by its prey, this handsome man actually unleashed a fireball. And, it was just a small fireball, yet it blasted the cheetah into a pile of ashes.

Such magical power is beyond even those silver-level mages! In an instant, she became interested in Lin Peng. Unfortunately for her, how could Lin Peng not notice this woman?

As he was about to return to the village, he turned around abruptly. His eyes were fixed on one direction, and after a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "Beautiful lady, aren't you tired after following me for so long?"

Klinks was startled and immediately looked around. However, he still didn't see anyone. Lin Peng decisively put down the prey he was carrying on a huge log, snapped his fingers, and instantly, a fireball a meter in diameter appeared. As he twirled his fingers, the fireball began to spin as well.

After a slight turn, it flew straight off in one direction. Its speed was so fast that the beautiful woman had no time to react. Just as she was about to hit the fireball and scream in alarm, Lin Peng stopped!

"You'd better hurry up and leave! Otherwise, you'll really die! Don't think that a silver-level assassin can follow me!" Lin Peng said calmly, and then the fireball dissipated into the air.

After hoisting the prey onto his back, he led Klinks in the opposite direction from the village!

Of course, he was also trying to deceive others.

The beautiful woman plopped down on the ground, her large eyes filled with astonishment. She wasn't sure if she would have survived if Lin Peng's fireball had actually hit her.

Because she could already feel that astonishing heat emanating from her skin. At least, even most experts at the Purple Gold level might not possess such scorching power.

After taking a deep breath, he snorted and said, "Just you wait, I will definitely find you!" With that, he ran slowly away in the opposite direction from Lin Peng.

Lin Peng no longer sensed the person's heat. He chuckled, picked up Klinks, and flew towards the village once more.

They had just arrived in the village when they ran into Aukin. Because he had gotten up early, Aukin hadn't seen Lin Peng when he arrived and assumed that Lin Peng hadn't waited and had taken Klinks to the city of Will.

Upon seeing Lin Peng, they were genuinely taken aback. After all, so many prey, and they returned directly flapping their fiery wings—it would be strange if it weren't frightening.

After a few casual words, wisps of smoke once again rose from the village. As a sign, a hearty breakfast was prepared.

Chapter Ninety-Six Black Shop

The bulletin board in Vil was now surrounded by people, all craning their necks to peer inside. Some were even standing on carriages to get a better look at the contents.

"A hydra appeared in the Flame Dragon Mountains last week. It's highly likely that some strange medicine has appeared. Perhaps, it's some kind of precious medicinal herb..."

A whole bunch of text only explained one thing: a treasure had appeared within the Flame Dragon Mountains. Lin Peng grabbed Klinks, who was still trying to crawl inside, and laughed, "Alright, let's go! It's getting dark, hmm, time to eat something!"

Klinks was taken aback, not expecting Lin Peng to know the details so quickly. After nodding slightly, he said, "This... Brother Lin Peng, I... I don't have any money!"

Lin Peng knew that meals required payment, including in the Demon Realm. But then he realized that he only possessed the Demon Realm's currency.

He didn't even have those dark gold coins. He wondered if they could be used in the human realm! Immediately, his spatial ring flipped open, revealing a crystal coin with a purple glow.

Klinks' eyes lit up. "Brother Lin Peng, these are crystal coins! One of these crystal coins is worth at least a hundred gold coins!"

The title "Brother Lin Peng" was given to him by Lin Peng himself. Otherwise, he would always be called "Lord Flame Demon." Even a deaf person would clearly understand his identity that way.

Lin Peng was overjoyed; he hadn't expected that the currency in the human realm was worth more than in the demon realm. He nodded slightly and, led by Klinks, began searching for a hotel on the main street.

I've been inquiring all day, and although there's still no news about the Seven-Colored Flower, at least there's some hope in the Flame Dragon Mountains. After a short rest and gathering some supplies, I should head straight in.

After randomly choosing a hotel, the two ordered some food. They called over a waiter, took out their amethyst coins, and were about to pay the bill. However, the waiter was completely dumbfounded when he saw the amethyst coins!

Without saying a word, he ran straight towards the counter. Lin Peng was taken aback and looked at Klinks, of course, he didn't know what was going on either.

After all, for a poor child, being able to eat at such a hotel is already quite good. Not to mention knowing about anything expensive.

Before long, a plump, extravagantly dressed middle-aged man arrived. Upon seeing Lin Peng, he paused for a moment, then greeted him with an extremely respectful smile, saying, "Honorable guest, this… we really haven't received anything like amethyst coins in our shop. What exchange rate would you like to use to pay for this lunch?"

Amethyst coins are truly something only nobles can use on the mainland. Ordinary people, let alone possess them, have never even seen one.

Therefore, despite his noble status, this shopkeeper clearly lowered his stance.

Lin Peng chuckled and said, "Whatever exchange rate you use, you should be able to pay, right? Well, how about this, send us some more clothes and food, we still have a long way to go."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded with a smile and left. To him, such a purple crystal coin was extremely valuable. However, Lin Peng had at least tens of thousands of such purple crystal coins in his storage space!

It's not much, so it's really quite generous to use.

The four people sitting at the table next to Lin Peng narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw the amethyst coins. One of them had already placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Beside him, a middle-aged man dressed in a mage's robe simply shook his head. One of the masked women, however, seemed to suddenly have her eyes light up.

After whispering a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, the man froze, his gaze towards Lin Peng filled with a strange expression.

Lin Peng didn't notice anything unusual. Once the items arrived, he simply slung them over his shoulder and led Klinks out of the hotel.

The shopkeeper, of course, saw them off respectfully before returning.

Upon his return, two men with somewhat sinister expressions immediately stepped forward. The obese shopkeeper's expression also changed instantly.

After chuckling, he said, "Go and find out right now whether this guy is actually from the Purple Gold Family. If he isn't, we can..."

He stretched out his hand, making a threatening gesture, and the two men behind him nodded. The veiled woman sitting next to Lin Peng chuckled and said, "These shady shops still want to mess with him? They might all get killed instead!"

"You know that too!" A beautiful woman in a fiery red magic robe pouted, looking incredulous.

Her extremely fair skin inexplicably turned red. She seemed a little embarrassed, as if she had spoken too loudly.

The man whose hand was still on the sword hilt snorted coldly and turned his head away. The middle-aged man then slowly said, "I can't sense his strength. Either he's stronger than me, or... he has no strength at all! And just now, you told me about what happened after you escaped the chase..."

After a moment's hesitation, the middle-aged man smiled faintly. His mature, handsome face radiated confidence: "Well, because they are truly far more powerful than me!"

The young swordsman was stunned, seemingly unable to believe it. His master was a true grandmaster. And that kid was only a few years old!

At most, he's about the same level as me. It's impossible for him to be stronger than his master! Then his talent would truly be terrifyingly heaven-defying!

"Master, he's from the Purple Gold Family, isn't he?" The young swordsman's cold expression softened, as if he were reminding his teacher.

He shook his head, then nodded: "Never mind all that, just follow those shady shop people and see what happens! If they're from the Purple Gold Family, they definitely won't dare to make a move!"

After saying that, he put down a few silver coins and walked out of the hotel!

……

On a dark and windy night, a quiet breeze brought a refreshing coolness to Lin Peng's senses. Such weather was truly rare in the Demon Realm. It was either freezing cold or excessively dry. Of course, the Demon Realm was much better now, thanks to that special red moon.

Both men were dressed in new clothes. Lin Peng wore a dark leather jacket with purple and gold trim, which looked somewhat like a trench coat.

Inside, he wore a purple shirt and black leather trousers, along with riding boots, looking extremely smart. Klink, on the other hand, was dressed somewhat like a servant.

He's just a lackey!

Of course, even with such clothes to wear, the pure cotton feel still excited Klinks for quite a while. At this moment, the two of them were sitting by the campfire, grilling steaks while looking at the stars in the sky with some boredom.

"Tell me, where exactly is this treasure? It seems we've been searching for ages!" Lin Peng said helplessly. As soon as the two left the city, they flew directly into the Flame Dragon Mountain Range.

However, after wandering around for most of the time, it seemed he hadn't found anything at all. He hadn't even seen a single person. Lin Peng was quite frustrated at this point.

Isn't it said that if there are many mercenaries there, then that place must be a treasure trove?

Klinks shook his head helplessly, his heart pounding as he thought, "It's not like some roadside weed you can just find anywhere. You did fly around, but you caused quite a few of those magical beasts to go berserk!"

Lin Peng originally planned to unleash his powerful aura to force the hydra to appear on its own. However, after a long while, he discovered that the low-level magical beasts seemed to have gone berserk. For some unknown reason, they were all rushing out towards the outer perimeter.

Perhaps they were intimidated by their own imposing presence! The two of them stayed on the outer perimeter, ready to follow any mercenaries who came in.

In the nearby woods, a dozen or so men in black stared at Lin Peng and his companion with some frustration. They had been inside for half a day, and Lin Peng hadn't encountered anything, but he had run into quite a few magical beasts.

I don't know what happened, but when did the number of monsters on the outskirts increase so much?

The leader of the group slowly pulled up his mask, and with a wave of his hand, the group rushed towards Lin Peng. Even without making a sound, Lin Peng already knew what was happening.

However, they haven't said anything, they're just too lazy to care.

However, when he realized that the flies were running towards him, he finally stood up. The campfire was still crackling, and Lin Peng smiled faintly, saying, "I didn't expect there would be flies following us!"

After the men in black left, a few more people appeared. The middle-aged man in the mage's robe smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect this guy to have found out so early!"

The masked woman was dressed in what looked like nighttime clothing, only even tighter, which accentuated her beautiful figure.

She smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course, you know, even an assassin like me was discovered by him!" As she said this, the beautiful woman pouted slightly.

It seemed as if they were blaming Lin Peng for his lack of chivalry.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Join Us!

The night wind continued to blow, whistling through the air as the people in their black clothes moved. The sound was particularly jarring in the darkness. Lin Peng, still standing by the campfire, gave a cold laugh and casually picked up a piece of firewood. With a snap, his head burst into flames.

Pointing at the charging assassins, he chuckled, "Hey friend! You dare attack me? If you want to live, you'd better get out of here!"

These arrogant words stunned not only the assassins rushing towards them, but also the middle-aged man in the mage's robe.
