Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 1035 - 187: The Second Secret Magic

Another day passed, and counting the previous three days and nights, Yun Sheng has been missing for a full four days and three nights.

In the past few days, Gold Coin has kept watch over the empty bed alone, unable to eat or sleep properly, unable to get used to it.

Frustrated, it roared in the direction of the seacoast, scaring a few sand gulls hovering over the sea to fly far away.

Gold Coin could no longer suppress the restlessness and anxiety in its heart, complaining inwardly that Little Wildcat went too far this time.

No one understands Yun Sheng better than Ye Beiming, and he wasn’t worried that something would happen to Yun Sheng. With Little Wildcat’s character, she wouldn’t suffer no matter where she went, and it would be fortunate if others didn’t suffer losses.

Yun Sheng’s sudden disappearance had happened a few times over the past three years. Initially, Gold Coin wasn’t too concerned, as per usual, after a few days, Yun Sheng would reappear.

Generally, Yun Sheng’s disappearances were due to a few reasons: developing a new elixir, encountering a new patient, or learning new magic.

However, even under these circumstances, Yun Sheng’s longest disappearance was only for a day and a night, yet this time, she vanished for three days and nights.

In the past day or more, Gold Coin had practically searched all the major islands of Penglai, including medical halls, summoning institutes, and other places, but couldn’t find any trace of Yun Sheng.

The evening glow filled the sky, turning the entire sea into a golden expanse, beautiful beyond compare.

However, at this moment, Gold Coin had no mood to appreciate any of it. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, if one had no company, what was the point?

The tides lapped against the beach, and Gold Coin’s ears moved slightly.

It seemed to hear a different sound within the tides.

That was... the sound of a zither!

Even though the tides masked most of the zither sound, Gold Coin still heard it; the sound came from one of Penglai’s islands.

"Tsk, I almost missed it. Little Wildcat never follows convention. If she goes into seclusion, she’ll definitely choose a deserted island," hope reignited in Gold Coin’s eyes.

Excluding the main islands Ice Island and Fire Island, there are over sixty other islands in Penglai, about forty of which are inhabited. The remaining twenty are either sparsely populated or undeveloped islands.

The source of the zither sound was the remotest island from Penglai Main Island, an unnamed island inhabited by a large number of Demon Beasts year-round.

Due to the many Demon Beasts and lack of usable resources, even the Summoning Court couldn’t spare any attention for that island.

Gold Coin’s heart stirred with a premonition that Yun Sheng must be on that island.

Taking to the sky, with four clusters of light green wind mist under its feet, the golden figure swept toward the island.

As it neared the island, the zither sound became even clearer.

Yet this zither sound, unlike Yun Sheng’s usual playing which calmed or fired up one’s spirit, was filled with killing intent, akin to war drums, provocatively challenging.

Just listening to it made one’s blood boil.

As Gold Coin approached the island, it was startled by the scene on the island.

How could it be...

It was a remote, nearly desolate island with sparse vegetation and exposed bluish-gray rocks everywhere.

At this time, around sunset, the dusk dyed the rocks red.

This was also the time when the Demon Beasts living around Penglai returned to their nests.

The powerful zither music agitated the Demon Beasts.

On the sea, in the sky, and on land, countless Demon Beasts crawled, flew, and swam.

There were Rock Jade Turtles with remarkable defensive abilities, Emperor Golden Sword Eagles in the sky, Spiny Crocodiles that dwelled both in water and land, and numerous vividly colored and highly poisonous insects.

They all inhabited these outer islands of Penglai and were the overlords of this area.

The Demon Beasts’ territorial consciousness was stronger than that of the Human Clan.

This island was their domain, and that ignorant intruder of the Human Clan dared to challenge them with zither music!

Among these Penglai Demon Beasts, some were skilled in Combat Skills, and some in Magic, covering various attributes.

At this moment, provoked by the zither sound, their eyes were blood-red, eager to tear Yun Sheng apart.

Gold Coin found it difficult to suppress its restlessness, but then it noticed Yun Sheng sitting quietly. She lowered her lashes, bathed in the sunset, her black eyes filled with tranquility, her lips curved into an enchanting smile.

That kind of Yun Sheng, Ye Beiming knew all too well.

Within that smile, there was eagerness to try and a confidence in victory.

As if realizing something, Gold Coin decided to observe for a while to see what Little Wildcat was up to.

The first to attack was the Rock Jade Turtle. With the sound of rolling rocks, various-sized rocks rolled around Yun Sheng, and the ground shook violently as a rock large enough to require two people to embrace it rolled toward her.

Gold Coin held its breath, legs slightly tensed, ready to strike at any moment.

Clang—

Like a strike of gold, Yun Sheng, who had remained still all along, had already gathered Magic Power under her fingers and suddenly plucked the strings.

On the zither strings, the sound of the zither perfectly fused with the Magic Power.

The zither sound took shape, and a crescent-shaped wave accurately struck the massive rock.

The rock shattered upon impact, and amid the dust and debris, the zither sound struck the Rock Jade Turtle’s chest.

The Rock Jade Turtle, weighing over two hundred kilograms, was split in two by the zither sound, dead beyond measure.

After shattering the rock, Yun Sheng didn’t stop. Under her fingers, a series of zither sounds unfolded, and in an instant, crescent-shaped zither sounds, infused with various Magic Attributes, danced like countless blades and swords.

Nearly a hundred Demon Beasts attacked in waves, yet Yun Sheng consistently responded methodically.

From being initially surrounded and ambushed to proceeding calmly, the Demon Beasts’ blood soon dyed the beach red, while Yun Sheng’s fingers never ceased.

The sun slowly set, and against the pitch-black night sky, the stars twinkled like fireflies. This brutal clash showed no signs of ending.

That was magic, yet not magic.

Yun Sheng sat by the sea, completely absorbed in her state.

Using the zither sound to kill, facing hundreds and thousands of Demon Beasts.

Even Gold Coin couldn’t help but be impressed.

Under the effect of the zither, the magic’s attack power was more than doubled and continuously potent.

Moreover, after being infused with magic, the zither sound could attack from afar and engage in close combat. This was the result of Yun Sheng’s seclusion over the past three days and nights.

A new type of Secret Magic never before seen on the Wuji Continent.

Pride surged in Gold Coin’s eyes; this woman was Yun Sheng, the woman he had set his sights on.

After the last Demon Beast was also slain, Yun Sheng pressed down on the zither strings with her fingers, exhaling slowly. She remained seated in the same spot, not having moved an inch.

As the zither music ended, Yun Sheng collapsed as if exhausted, straight into a warm embrace instead of the hard sand.
