Lei Ze, also known as 'Heavenly Prison' and 'Black Prison', is the place where the Heavenly Court imprisoned serious criminals.

Lei Ze is governed by the Thunder Emperor of the Central Thunder Department. Anyone imprisoned in Lei Ze will suffer from lightning and fire every day. There is no spiritual energy or earth energy in Lei Ze, so one has to rely entirely on physical strength to resist, or take elixirs to replenish magic power.

The environment inside Lei Ze is extremely harsh. Not only are there the sufferings of being struck by lightning and burned by fire, but there are also monsters and demons that have been imprisoned in Lei Ze for countless years, as well as monks who have been driven crazy by the environment of Lei Ze.

Empress Wenlin, Xiao Yumei, and Yulan's daughter have been imprisoned in Lei Ze for more than a hundred years, and their sentence is five hundred years.

But after all, she is Empress Wenlin, one of the incarnations of the Queen Mother of the West, so the Lei Ze Supervisor will definitely take care of her.

Therefore, Empress Wenlin's residence is always guarded by two thunder soldiers, but she will not be spared the punishment of being struck by lightning or burned by fire.

As soon as the heavenly fire burned this time, Empress Wenlin's body was burned to ashes. She quickly took out the elixir and swallowed it, and then she felt better.

She still held the girl tightly in her arms. After Empress Wenlin took the elixir, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she lowered her head and asked, "Zhenru, how are you?"

"Empress, Zhenru is fine." This girl is the daughter of Xiao Yumei and Yulan, but her surname is not Xiao. Instead, she takes the character "Wen" from Empress Wenlin as her surname and names herself "Wen Zhenru".

Only then did Empress Wenlin let go of Wen Zhenru, and a young face with fair complexion, slender figure and elegant temperament like plum blossom and orchid came into Empress Wenlin's eyes.

When Wen Zhenru looked at the burnt skin of Madam Wenlin, tears welled up in her eyes again, "Madam, it was Zhenru who harmed you."

Empress Wenlin smiled slightly, patted Wen Zhenru's head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't harmed anyone, and you don't owe anyone anything. You are the purest child in the world."

Wen Zhenru whispered, "If my parents hadn't violated the Heavenly Law and implicated you, you wouldn't be imprisoned here."

Yes, Empress Wenlin told Wen Zhenru everything when she was eighteen years old. This was beneficial because sometimes knowing the truth is easier to get through confusion than not knowing the truth.

But to Empress Wenlin's surprise, Wen Zhenru was not at all affected by her parents' affairs.

For Wen Zhenru, this empress who had held her and helped her endure the punishments of lightning and fire time and time again since she was old enough to know affairs seemed to be her real mother.

Wen Zhenru stood up and ran to the ditch outside the cave to fetch a basin of clear spring water. However, the spring water, which had just been burned by the heavenly fire, was very hot, so Wen Zhenru fanned the water back and forth with her sleeves, hoping to cool the water temperature quickly.

When the water temperature dropped, Wen Zhenru took out a small handkerchief, soaked it in the water, and then gently wiped the burnt skin of Empress Wen Lin.

Empress Wenlin sat there quietly, looking at Wen Zhenru silently.

Wen Zhenru wiped Empress Wen Lin carefully and gently, with only Empress Wen Lin in her eyes.

Time passed slowly like this. After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly called out from outside the cave: "Your Highness, Lady Wenlin, the Celestial Monarch of the Western Heavenly Palace is here to visit you."

Empress Wenlin immediately came to her senses and was stunned: "Xitian Mansion? Yude Tianjun? He was also imprisoned?"

But soon, Empress Wenlin reacted, "No, if Youde Tianjun was also imprisoned in Lei Ze, the Lei soldiers would not continue to call him Tianjun."

Thinking of this, Empress Wenlin immediately stood up, and Wen Zhenru also took the basin of water aside.

"Please come in, Lord Youde." Empress Wenlin said to the outside.

Outside the cave, Lei Bing couldn't help but smile when he heard the voice of Lady Wenlin. He looked at Fang Jian and said, "Please forgive me, Master Hongqing. We just found out that you have become the Heavenly Monarch of Xitian Mansion."

"It's okay." Fang Jian waved his hand and smiled, then he tidied his appearance and walked into the cave.

When Empress Wenlin saw a tall and imposing figure walk into the cave, she immediately said with a smile, "How is Lord Youde... uh... Fang Jian?"

Empress Wenlin's expression froze for a moment, then she asked in astonishment, "Fang Jian? Why are you here? Where is Lord Youde?"

Fang Jian quickly stepped forward, bowed his head and saluted Empress Wenlin, saying, "Your servant, Fang Jian, the Heavenly Monarch of the Western Heavenly Prefecture, pays homage to Empress Wenlin."

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Empress Wenlin covered her lips in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief. After a long moment, Empress Wenlin looked at Fang Jian in shock and said, "You...you are already the Heavenly Monarch of the Western Heaven Palace?"

Fang Jian said: "This minister is only serving as the Heavenly Lord of the Western Heaven Palace concurrently, and has not yet passed the teaching of the Cave God Hall."

"Alas," Madam Wenlin sighed softly, "It's true that only a few days in the cave feel like a thousand years in the real world. Fang Jian, you never cease to amaze me."

After saying that, Madam Wenlin looked at Fang Jian and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here? You didn't come here just to see me, did you?"

Fang Jian looked at Madam Wenlin's scorched and cracked face and asked worriedly, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, the punishments in Lei Ze are, first, being struck by heavenly thunder, and second, being burned by heavenly fire. I just experienced being burned by heavenly fire. It's okay, I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Empress Wenlin said with a smile.

Fang Jian nodded, then responded to Empress Wenlin, "I came here for the daughter of Xiao Yumei and Yulan."

Upon hearing this, Empress Wenlin's expression immediately tensed up. Even Wen Zhenru, who was washing her handkerchief behind her, was shocked. She immediately turned around and came behind Empress Wenlin, hugging her arms tightly.

Empress Wenlin noticed Wen Zhenru's uneasiness and immediately asked Fang Jian, "Hasn't Lei Ze been sentenced to five hundred years? Why are you looking for her again?"
