Aiding My Queen With My System - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 There’s a Ninth-Stage Martial Sage Demonic Beast Here!

Chu Feng smiled and said, “My wife, I still think you’re more good-looking.”

His flippant smile made Ji Rui’s heart skip a beat.

Chu Feng was looking forward to getting a reaction from her but Ji Rui only glanced at him indifferently before turning her head away.

“How silly.”

Chu Feng could only keep his thoughts to himself. I’m not angry. My wife is just too unromantic!

He silently felt sorry for himself for two seconds, then continued to observe the copy of the painting on the stone wall.

To be honest, it did not seem to hold any hidden meaning. It was more like the artist had painted what he had on his mind and it was obvious that he had put in some extraordinary emotions into the painting.

Why would he carve such a painting on the Underworld Road?

It was like an act to commemorate someone. If this was the tomb of a Martial Emperor and for him to have such a painting carved on his tomb, this woman must be very loved by him.

Could it be that he wanted the woman’s portrait to accompany him after his death?

If this was so, then that person would definitely carve the portrait of the woman opposite his tomb in order to be able to stare at it day and night. In that case, it would be easy to guess the location of the Martial Emperor’s tomb…

Tsk, I didn’t expect this Martial Emperor to be this kind of infatuated man.

After lamenting in his heart, Chu Feng told Ji Rui his thoughts in detail.

“Your guess is very reasonable.”

She immediately led Chu Feng towards the opposite side of the stone wall.

The two of them searched the stone wall on the opposite side for the amount of time it took an incense stick to burn before finally discovering some clues!

Right in the spot directly opposite the eyes of the woman in the portrait, there was a square opening which looked like it had been dug out by someone.

Chu Feng was overjoyed and quickly approached the opening with Ji Rui. Sure enough, inside the opening, they found a corpse in a sitting position.

The bones of this corpse had a tinge that was the color of jade and looked extremely beautiful. His head was positioned in such a direction that he was focused on the eyes of the person in the painting.

They looked again and saw that there was a pitch-black saber stabbed into the side of the corpse. There was also a white jade gourd that had fallen in front of the body.

The gourd had a similar effect to the Water Repelling Pearl in Chu Feng’s hand and could isolate the surrounding seawater away from it. But the effect of the gourd was even better as the seawater could not get near it within at least a five-mile radius.

The pitch-black saber emitted a faint murderous aura and the blade seemed to have had its fill of the blood of demonic beasts.

“This should be the Martial Emperor who died here 10,000 years ago. This ravine must have been split open by him.”

Chu Feng’s tone was filled with reverence.

Such an infatuated and powerful Martial Emperor had actually died in such a dark and shabby seabed with his entire life’s glory buried inside. It was really lamentable.

Upon closer inspection, there were actually cracks all over the Martial Emperor’s bones!

It seemed that he had been seriously injured and had no choice but to die here. He would have barely been able to complete the portrait of the woman in front of him before he died, which was why it was crudely finished and only managed to retain her charm.

“That’s strange, the jade-colored gourd in front of him can isolate things from my divine sense. No wonder we didn’t detect it earlier.”

Orma

When Chu Feng heard what Ji Rui said, he shook his head and said, “This is very normal In the past 10,000 years, there would have been countless experts who came to the Purgatory Sea to investigate the situation. Without the protection of this jade gourd, we wouldn’t have the chance to pick up this bargain.”

These two things were carried by the Martial Emperor by his side and could even be considered his burial objects. They were definitely rare treasures.

However, it all just seemed a little too simple?

An ominous feeling flashed across Chu Feng’s heart. At this moment, a pair of dark green eyes appeared in the square cave.

A terrifying aura came from the cave and caused Chu Feng’s scalp to tingle.

Perhaps it was not that no other warrior had found this place before, but there was another reason why they did not manage to remove this Martial Emperor’s treasures…

The only reason was that this Martial Emperor had a demonic beast guarding him after he died!

Chu Feng felt that his head was going to explode. He pulled Ji Rui back and shouted, “Let’s go!”

The pair of dark green eyes instantly lit up and locked its vertical slit pupils onto the two of them. An aura that made people anxious suddenly extended towards them.

“Huh–“

In an instant, the seawater at the bottom of the sea seemed to be about to flow back and swallow the two of them. A huge roar almost caused the cave to collapse.

A pitch-dark flood dragon slowly emerged from the cave. Its powerful tail raised its bone spikes to rip through the waves, directly smashing towards the two of them.

If they really got hit by this dragon tail, they would be seriously injured even if they did not die from the impact.

Fortunately, with Chu Feng’s warning and the fact that the flood dragon was not very quick in its appearance, Ji Rui was able to react almost immediately. She grabbed his hand and quickly retreated.

The flood dragon’s tail barely brushed past their heads. If they were just one step slower, it would have smashed into their faces. The surging waves immediately broke through the boundary of the Water Repelling Pearl.

Chu Feng was slapped in the face by the waves brought on by the dragon tail and he felt a burning pain.

If he had been a second slower, his face would probably have been disfigured. The situation was really quite scary.

By now, the flood dragon had already left the cave. Its dark green vertical slit pupils were filled with a cold aura as it continued to stare at the two of them.

But then, its limbs were actually tied down by thick metal chains, causing the flood dragon to only be able to move within 1,000 feet of the cave. As long as they did not get too close, the flood dragon would not be a threat to them.

Chu Feng finally felt relieved.

Perhaps it was not a coincidence that this dragon appeared here. Before his death, that Martial Emperor cultivator must have specially detained the flood dragon here to guard his corpse.

“This demonic beast looks really strange. I’ve never seen it before.”

“If it’s a martial cultivator, what realm is it in now?”

Chu Feng’s words caused Ji Rui to look solemn.

“This is a ninth-stage Martial Sage flood dragon called the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon.”

This flood dragon’s strength was in no way lower than Ji Rui’s. In fact, the rough skin of the demonic beast was not afraid of attacks from warriors of the same realm. With it here, it would not be easy for Ji Rui to remove the two treasures of the deceased Martial Emperor.

It was no wonder that in the past 10 million years, many martial cultivators who coveted the treasures had come to this Underworld Road, but no one had been able to remove them.

With the protection of this Water Repelling Flood Dragon, even if someone discovered these two treasures, there was nothing they could do about it!

It was originally difficult for martial cultivators to fight against the thick-skinned demonic beasts in the same realm as them, not to mention that this was at the bottom of the sea, a place where they could suffocate to death if they were not careful. The chances any martial cultivator had of winning were constantly reducing.

This Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon was a demonic beast that had always been living in the sea. Compared to a ninth-stage Martial Sage, it was more familiar with how to fight underwater and had several times the defense ability of a warrior.
