Chapter 12: Eternal Love
Another day passed. After killing all the monsters, Ling Xi returned to his temporary place while he was still awake.

The place they were supposed to stay was actually a cave, with a shielding formation set up outside.

As soon as he returned, Ling Xi fell into a coma without taking care of his wounds.

After she fell asleep, a person quietly appeared in the cave.

He ignored the formation that could trap immortals or even ordinary gods, and sat quietly beside her.

The man in purple clothes and white hair was Donghua.

These days, Donghua has been watching her secretly.

Seeing her go from being unfamiliar and flustered in the beginning to being able to kill monsters without blinking an eye and showing no mercy later on, Donghua had to admit that her progress was very fast, beyond his expectations.

Looking at the various injuries on Ling Xi's body, Donghua frowned, and a flash of emotion flashed through his mind.

He controlled the strength and carefully used his spiritual power to heal her wounds, which only looked serious on the surface, but were actually healed by him.

Feeling that the wound was not so painful anymore, Ling Xi's frown finally relaxed.

She was really too tired. Every day and night, not only did she have to kill endless monsters and ghosts, but she also had to keep her mental tension high all the time and not relax for a moment. If it were someone with a weak mind, they would have gone crazy long ago.

Seeing that Ling Xi was feeling better, Donghua wanted to take his hand back.

But unexpectedly, Ling Xi suddenly turned over, grabbed his hand, and then placed it under her head.

Donghua: “.”

Donghua's breathing suddenly stopped. The little girl's warm breath hit his hands, making him feel tingling and numb. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.

He chuckled softly and adjusted his sitting position to make it easier for Ling Xi to hold his hand.

Then, Donghua stared at Ling Xi.

His fingers moved quietly and what he touched was a pink and tender face that felt very nice.

Then his eyes fell on Ling Xi's face. She had a small oval face with delicate and beautiful features. Even without any makeup, she had an immortal appearance, pure and beautiful.

If she waits until she has passed the divine calamity and her appearance is finalized, she will probably be even more stunning, and the position of the most beautiful woman in the world will be replaced by another.

He has never seen the current number one Qingqiu Bai Qian, but she must not be as pretty as her, Donghua thought.

By then, I wonder how many gods will be pleased with her.

Thinking of this, Donghua's mood suddenly became bad.

After a night, Ling Xi woke up as usual.

She moved her body, but was surprised to find that yesterday's wound was not as painful as before.

Could it be that the effect of the medicine she took yesterday has continued until today?
Is the medicine so effective?
No matter what, Ling Xi got up and went to look for herbs in Death Valley as usual.

The conditions were not good enough for her to make pills now, so she could only swallow the herbs raw. Fortunately, they still had some effect.

After applying the medicine, Ling Xi took the initiative to provoke those monsters again.

Then, a large wave of monsters came to chase him.

Being chased and killed by them also has its benefits. At least Ling Xi's physical skills and cultivation have improved slightly.

The days passed quickly in the ancient battlefield, so quickly that Ling Xi didn't even know how long he had been there, not even years or months.

The only thing that made her feel strange was that every day after that day, when she woke up, she found that her injuries were not as serious as before, and they would even get better on their own.

How strange.

Donghua: I gave you the best medicine, how could it not be harmful?
However, according to Donghua's cultivation level, as long as he doesn't want others to find out, Ling Xi won't be aware of his presence.

Donghua will not help Ling Xi. He can help her temporarily, but not forever. He believes that she can.

In the future she will have to gain a foothold in the world, and at that time she can only rely on herself to gain the respect of all ethnic groups.

Finally, on the last day, after killing the last monster in the secret realm, Ling Xi was finally able to get out of the secret realm.

After making sure that the monster had lost its breath, Ling Xi relaxed.

Then came exhaustion. Ling Xi held the sword with his hands, his eyelids heavy, unable to hold on any longer.

The last thing she saw was Emperor Donghua strolling over, elegant and refined, like jade and bamboo.

One month later, Taichen Palace.

When Ling Xi woke up, she found herself in her room.

She knew that she had passed the Emperor's test.

This is also a test for herself.

"Fairy Ling Xi, are you awake?" Chonglin's voice sounded outside the door.

"Awake." Ling Xi answered dazedly, her voice a little soft.

Outside the door, Chonglin looked respectfully at the emperor standing beside him. Hearing Ling Xi's response, Chonglin almost cried with joy.

God knows, the emperor asks him like this outside the door every day. If you are worried, just ask it yourself. Why don’t you do it yourself and torture a guard like him?

"Please wait for a moment, Immortal Official Chonglin." Ling Xi added this sentence because he was afraid that Chonglin would get anxious waiting.

Chonglin said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Immortal, take your time."

Half an incense stick later, Ling Xi came out of the room and saw Chong Lin standing outside the door.

"Immortal Officer Chonglin, it's been a long time since we last met. How many years have I been in the secret realm?"

Ling Xi didn’t know how many years she had been in the secret realm. She was completely stunned.

Chonglin's expression was slightly complicated, and he looked at Lingxi with excitement. He looked at Lingxi's face and then tentatively said, "One thousand five hundred years."

!!!

Ling Xi: "Have I been there for so long?"

She clearly felt that the time passed very quickly. She had killed so many monsters that she could no longer distinguish the sun from the moon.

Chonglin bowed and said, "My Lord, it is not easy to tell the time in the secret realm, but you have indeed been there for 1,500 years."

Thinking of this, Chonglin couldn't help but admire the Immortal Ling Xi.

Chonglin knew that secret realm. It was the largest ancient battlefield secret realm in the hands of the Emperor, and also the one with the worst environment. Few people dared to enter it, and few people came out alive.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor not only sent Immortal Ling Xi to that secret realm, but also it took the Immortal only more than a thousand years to clean it up. What kind of god is this!
However, Chonglin looked at Ling Xi. If the immortal used to have a gentle, lively and comfortable aura.

Now, she is like a sharp sword, full of sharpness that makes people dare not look directly at her, but at the same time she can keep her edge restrained, making people afraid.

This is a true warrior.

Only when a sharp blade is stained with blood can it become a truly peerless sword.

"Master Chonglin, where is Tangyue? Where is she?"

The first person Ling Xi cares about must be his sister.

Chonglin: Why wasn’t the first person the Immortal asked the Emperor?
"After the Supreme Immortal entered the secret realm, Tang Yue was sent to the military camp by the Emperor. Over the past thousand years, she has adapted very well. Moreover, five hundred years ago, she was promoted to a Supreme Immortal, and now she is a young general."

Of course, what Chonglin didn't say was that the Emperor's sister, Princess Zhihe, was also sent to the military camp together with Tangyue. Now the two of them are a pair of good sisters and are doing well in the army.

Ling Xi: "Hmm? Military camp?"

"Thirty-six?" Ling Xi asked.

“No,” Chonglin shook his head, “It’s one of the seventy-two generals under the Emperor.”

The seventy-two generals once followed Emperor Donghua to conquer the world, but some of them have no descendants now. The emperor sent Tangyue and Zhihe into their army. One reason was to keep in touch with them, and the other was to hope that they would be able to control the two departments in the future.

Zhihe was the daughter of one of the seventy-two generals, and it was only natural for her to follow in her father's footsteps.

Ling Xi thought about it and understood the Emperor's plan. This was also for their own good.

"I understand. Thank you, Chonglin."
