My Beautiful Duchess Wife

Lin Peng's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed this Scar wasn't someone he could truly trust. A slight smile played on his lips as he asked, "It seems there are people from other territories here this time!"

Scar's eyes turned cold, but she smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, not bad. It seems your observation skills are quite sharp. They're from the Blue Demon Territory. They've sent their young lord, supposedly here for a marriage alliance! Perhaps, Abel will be married off!"

Lin Peng's eyes turned even colder at this moment.

As she left Scar's palace, a nameless rage rose within her. Abel, who so revered Jerry, was now being used as a bargaining chip to be married off.

The power of wind is extremely rare, even within the entire Dark Empire.

If used properly, it might even lead to the emergence of more powerful stacking attributes in the next generation.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought. Now wasn't the time to worry about that. Judging from Scar's current personality, she was definitely an insatiable person.

If you really want to get something from him, it will be even more difficult.

"Hmph, then don't blame me!" Lin Peng snorted coldly and walked towards his residence.

After taking only two steps, a person with an extremely cold aura stood in front of him. Although he had a very masculine face and a relatively well-proportioned figure.

However, the extremely cold and gloomy atmosphere was something Lin Peng found hard to bear. It seemed as if the entire world had become cold and gloomy, creating a chilling atmosphere as if the world were frozen in ice.

"Lin Peng?"

The seemingly masculine but inwardly extremely effeminate young man sneered, confirming Lin Peng's identity. A chilling aura emanated from his blue eyes.

"And who are you?" Lin Peng frowned; he disliked this aura. It was as if you were his natural enemy. He liked things that were both fiery and warm.

"Heh, a peak-level Demon King? Hmm, at this age, having such strength is quite impressive! I heard that Abel is still living with you!"

The cold-looking man did not answer Lin Peng's question. He was dressed in a blue suit that looked like a bodysuit, resembling a priest or, perhaps, a messenger of a demon god.

"You're the young lord of the Blue Demon Territory?" Lin Peng immediately guessed from his tone. He chuckled faintly and began to sized up the young man, who was similar to Kerry but at least a high-level Demon Emperor.

Demons generally have a long lifespan. An average demon can live to be two hundred years old.

Once you reach the level of a high-ranking demon, you can live to at least three hundred years old. For demon kings, or those with even higher cultivation levels, living to over five hundred years old is generally not a problem at all.

Therefore, you absolutely cannot tell their age from their appearance. Just like Elder Scar, who is definitely hundreds of years old, but still looks like a young man.

"Hmph! You dare to look me in the eye!" The young man seemed to mutter, and then an extremely powerful aura pressed down on him.

His blood seemed to freeze, his entire body as if encased in an incredibly strong block of ice. At that moment, Lin Peng didn't even have the strength to move his eyes.

Everything around seemed to have frozen in time. Or rather, it wouldn't be wrong to say it was simply sealed away.

The young man wore a cold smile, seemingly quite pleased with Lin Peng's current expression. The corners of his mouth began to curve upwards, extending eerily to his ears.

Lin Peng was startled. If he were truly subdued so easily, he might really be inferior to others in the future. Even Jerry couldn't truly suppress him with his aura, so how could he be afraid of such a effeminate man who resembled a snake?

The spark within him seemed to share the same thoughts.

A burning heat emanating from within immediately replaced the cold, and the entire body seemed to begin to warm up. A flame slowly began to burn within those dark eyes.

His entire eyes turned into a flame-like light.

The young man was taken aback at first, then his mouth, which could grow larger, opened wide and he burst into laughter: "Interesting, truly interesting! I never imagined you had such power. Hahaha..."

Such rampant laughter brought not relief, but even greater pressure. The entire body was once again frozen solid. This time, it wasn't about suppressing one's fantasies with mere imposing force.

Rather, it was a real freeze.

A crackling sound arose, and the entire ten-meter-wide road and the walls, which were still somewhat warm, seemed to be frozen solid.

All sound suddenly disappeared. My mind seemed to freeze, becoming exceptionally sluggish.

The flames in Lin Peng's eyes burned even brighter. In his heart, Abel's originally cheerful and mischievous smile had turned into silent sullenness.

Once again, Shia's warm yet heartbreaking smile came to mind. Every time she smiled, it instantly warmed my body.

The fire within his chest burned like a fireball. It seemed like an illusion, yet it also seemed real. Suddenly, Lin Peng appeared in that world of flames engulfing his entire body.

Standing amidst the raging flames, I no longer felt the parched, evaporating sensation I had the first time I entered. This time, I felt truly integrated into this sea of ​​fire.

The flames began to slowly change color, from their original orange-red to a tinge of blue. They began to gather slowly within the world of flames.

All the flames seemed to have suddenly coalesced into a giant fireball, hanging high in the sky, gazing up at the parched land.

This vast, boundless land!

"What kind of world is this? Why am I here? It seems this is the third time. From being unable to bear it the first time, to violently absorbing the flames the second time, and now, I've actually managed to gather all the flames together into such a huge fireball?"

Lin Peng's mind seemed to freeze up for a moment, unable to process what he was going to do.

The earth had transformed into a network of ravines, crisscrossing and rugged. There was no life, no plant. A dead land, truly a dead land.

"Could it be a picture of how the sun was formed?"

Lin Peng paused for a moment, then frowned and said.

It was at this moment that a voice seemed to instantly wake Lin Peng up. The instant he opened his eyes, he was already outside.

The ice on their bodies melted into water droplets. Although there were still some water stains on the ground, it had indeed melted.

It seemed as if it had just rained, and nothing else had happened.

"Lin Peng! Augustus, what are you doing?" Abel's stern voice, tinged with a hint of disgust, rang out. He stared directly at Augustus, his eyes filled with intense hatred.

With a "pfft," Augustus didn't speak, but instead coughed up a mouthful of blood. His eyes, looking at Lin Peng, were filled with extreme shock. He seemed to have no time to even glance at Abel.

"You actually broke through my frozen world!" With a hint of surprise in his voice and the fleeting look of fear in his eyes just moments before, Lin Peng now understood something.

When I entered that space, perhaps I didn't even know what was happening. It was as if some power had suddenly been activated, and it directly broke open this so-called frozen world.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the ground wasn't very wet, the damage must have been quite severe, to the point that Augustus even coughed up blood. Clearly, he was also injured.

Lin Peng sneered, looking at Augustus like a fish on a chopping board: "You call this so-called frozen world a frozen world? With such a low temperature, I broke through it directly. If you really encounter a master, it's not as simple as just waving your hand!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the water stains on the ground, as if to say, "So easily defeated." Enraged, Augustus spat out another mouthful of blood, his chilling aura slamming towards Lin Peng like a fist.

At this moment, Lin Peng was not to be outdone. He sneered, and his blood began to flow rapidly. Suddenly, an extremely intense heat erupted from the spot in his chest where the embers had disappeared.

No flames erupted from its entire body. However, the blood, which flowed faintly and was as red as flames, was so transparent that it could be seen with the naked eye.

Instantly, that chilling aura vanished completely.

"You dare to show off your petty tricks? Heh heh... Abel, let's go!" With that, he took Abel and headed straight for his residence.

Augustus nearly fainted this time. His mind raced with rage: "How is this possible? What happened? A mere Demon King-level being injured a high-ranking Demon Emperor like myself? A backlash?"

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Enticement

Upon returning to the courtyard, Abel's gaze towards Lin Peng seemed to carry a hint of something unusual. Seeing Lin Peng turn around, she immediately lowered her head.

Lin Peng wanted to say something, but he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed, "I'm still injured. It seems that a Demon Emperor-level expert is not so easy to deal with. If he had used his true strength to fight me, I might be a block of ice by now!"

Abel immediately helped the swaying Lin Peng up and led him into the hall, where he found a chair for him to sit down. At that moment, Shia, Angelina, and the others also entered the hall, which served as a living room.

Seeing the bloodstains on Lin Peng's lips, they all frowned.

Lin Peng shook his head, looking helpless: "I really didn't expect that this Augustus is much more powerful than your brothers!"

Abel nodded: "In terms of talent, even my eldest brother is no match for Augustus. Moreover, water-type talent is inherently capable of suppressing fire-type power. It's a miracle that you made him vomit blood twice!"

"August?"

The other girls were somewhat stunned. From their words, they could already tell that they were definitely from the Blue Demon Territory.

Only Shia seemed momentarily stunned. Then, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "I never imagined you could make Augustus vomit blood twice!"

Angelina clearly knew Augustus as well, and smiled faintly: "With Brother Lin Peng's special abilities, it's normal that he can suppress Augustus's water."

Shia seemed to understand immediately: "Fire Demon bloodline?"

Upon hearing the mention of the Flame Demon bloodline, Medusa's eyes widened in surprise, as if she instantly understood something. Abel, however, was truly shocked. She had grown up in this Crimson Demon territory, and even the power of the Fire Demon race alone had already astonished her. So, the Flame Demon bloodline, even more powerful than the Fire Demon bloodline…

Now, Abel understood why someone like Lin Peng made the Fire Demon Clan so nervous. The Flame Demon Clan was arguably even more troublesome than the Blue Demon Clan of the Blue Demon Territory.

For example, even a master like Jerry couldn't suppress Lin Peng even using 60% of his power. This demonstrates the key to the Flame Demon Clan's innate ability to suppress the Fire Demon Clan.

The issue of bloodline is very important; bloodline is the true source of practical knowledge!

"The Flame Demon Clan?" Lin Peng frowned slightly. To be honest, he really wasn't sure if he had any connection with the Flame Demon Clan.

Of course, in some ways, they really are quite similar to the Flame Demon clan.

"Well, Abel, if you really don't want to marry that Augustus, I do have a way to help you!" Lin Peng didn't want to waste any more words on himself, so he simply changed the subject.

Abel jolted instantly, her whole body stiffening awkwardly. Originally, she and Lin Peng should have had a deep-seated grudge. Just staying here already felt incredibly awkward to her.

At this moment, Lin Peng's words made her feel uneasy.

"Marry Augustus?" Shia frowned, looking very serious.

Lin Peng nodded, understanding Shia's concerns. Now, a mere Crimson Demon territory was more than Darkmoon City could handle. Even with the First General present, that was a significant advantage.

However, if they were to unite with the Blue Demon territory, even if the Imperial City sent someone, they would be no match for them. At least in terms of high-level power, even the First General's strength might be suppressed.

However, Lin Peng doesn't think that way now.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't really matter whether we offend them or not. At least, in terms of conflict, the Blue Demon Territory is a menace!"

Shia was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Do you have any way to directly suppress these two territories?" His eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, were filled with hope.

Nodding, he suddenly looked at Abel, who had buried her head in her ample bosom, and said, "It's simple. Life catalyst. I believe Scar can accept it, and Jerry certainly can too. So, now that we're at peace, shouldn't we make a deal?"

"Give Jerry a large batch of potions. Let him know that I can overwhelm him with potions. With that, asking Abel for help shouldn't be too much to ask. Frankly, the Blue Demon Territory might not be able to accept this reality. After all, it's a huge blow to their pride. So… in that case, it might just be a matter between the Red Demon Territory and the Blue Demon Territory!"

He directly stated his method, which is actually quite simple.

But it all depends on whether Jerry will let them go. After all, if things really get out of hand when necessary, they'll be doomed anyway.

After all, the strongest among them was only Medusa. And now, Medusa was a Demon Emperor-level expert. Perhaps, she had been even stronger than that before.

However, without that magic bow, she might only be invincible among Demon Emperors at best. Against a Demon Lord, she truly wouldn't stand a chance.

After a moment's thought, Shia nodded: "I think this method is feasible!"

Lin Peng and the others all nodded. And just then, as if on cue, Mingde suddenly appeared at the courtyard gate, and Lin Peng and the others immediately went out to greet him.

But what it brought with it was still that broken magic bow.

Upon entering the room, Mingde cut to the chase, saying, "Since we agreed to your bet, we still have to honor our agreement. Heh, after searching high and low, all we found was this magic bow!"

As he spoke, he winked at Gree, who was standing to the side, and placed a large black box containing a magic bow in Lin Peng's hands. The magic bow seemed quite heavy, and to Lin Peng's surprise, it seemed to be able to sense something. The magic bow was actually emitting a faint magical fluctuation.
