The Twin Snake Girls' Parents

The long night stretched on beneath a sky full of stars.

Heaven Dou City remained as bustling as ever. Nobles and Soul Masters came and went, the streets shone beneath dazzling lights, and vendors called out their wares. No matter the world, nightlife was indispensable.

Two figures deliberately avoided the bustling crowds. Swift as ghosts and silent in their movements, they passed through the dark alleyways.

At last, they stopped in a shadowy alley across from the Heaven Dou Auction House. They watched the spacious entrance opposite them, where nobles constantly entered and exited. They could even hear the uproarious sounds of bidding from within. It was exceedingly lively.

As time passed, the moon slowly shifted across the sky. Strands of moonlight shone into the dark alley, revealing their true faces.

They were a married couple. The gaunt middle-aged man wore a black robe embroidered with countless purple snake patterns, exuding a chilling aura. Beside him stood a bewitchingly beautiful mature woman, also dressed in a black robe patterned with snakes.

Looking at the bustling Heaven Dou Auction House, the bewitching woman spoke to her husband with a trace of chill and resentment in her voice.

"Qisheng, Yan'er and Qing'er were taken by the Heaven Dou Auction House."

She Qisheng said nothing, but blazing fury burned in his cold eyes, revealing the anger in his heart.

Several months ago, his Soul Power had reached rank seventy, and he had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts. He had never expected such a major incident to occur after he returned.

However, She Qisheng did not act rashly. With his strength as a Soul Saint, opposing the Heaven Dou Auction House would be like striking a stone with an egg. After all, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family stood behind it. Even a Soul Douluo would not dare provoke it.

They waited for the auction house's manager to appear so they could force him to reveal She Yan'er and She Qing'er's whereabouts.

At last, heaven did not disappoint those who waited. A man dressed in a manager's uniform emerged from the auction house. It was none other than Rajef.

The instant he appeared, She Qisheng and She Mei fixed their eyes on him.

They followed closely behind Rajef, tailing him all the way.

Once they were far from the Heaven Dou Auction House, She Qisheng acted without another word.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black—seven Soul Rings enveloped She Qisheng, radiating multicolored light. A Purple Scaled Great Python several zhang long coiled around him. Its snake eyes were icy, its scales gleamed with cold purple light, dazzling and hard as iron. It flicked its crimson tongue as venom dripped from the corners of its mouth, corroding small holes into the ground.

Sensing the powerful aura behind him, Rajef's expression changed drastically. A pair of eagle wings wrapped in strands of wind force suddenly spread from his back as he tried to flee.

"Third Soul Skill: Snake Cage!"

Yet dozens of purple-scaled snakes formed from condensed Soul Power became a cage of serpents, sealing off his path. At the same time, the snakeheads spat out foul-smelling poisonous gas, leaving Rajef weak all over, dizzy and unable to circulate his Soul Power properly.

Looking at Rajef trapped within the Snake Cage, She Qisheng and She Mei walked up before him, their gazes incomparably cold. She Mei in particular wished she could slice Rajef into ten thousand pieces.

"Who are you people? How dare you oppose the Heaven Dou Auction House!"

Facing a Soul Saint and a Soul King, Rajef forced himself to stay alert. Enduring the dizziness and discomfort, he questioned them.

She Mei directly reached through the Snake Cage and seized Rajef by the collar. Somewhat irrational, she shrieked at him.

"Speak! Where did you take Yan'er and Qing'er?!"

"You're the parents of those two Snake Women?!"

Rajef looked at them, never expecting them to be the parents of the Twin Snake Girls. Damn it, what had those slave-catching groups been doing?!

The Heaven Dou Auction House had clear rules for acquiring slaves. They only took those without parents or the descendants of nobles from defeated nations.

"I'm sorry, but your daughters have already been purchased by an important figure."

Rajef could only shake his head regretfully. Though the Heaven Dou Auction House was not afraid of a Soul Saint's daughters, this would still damage its reputation. If they reported the matter to Xue Ye, the entire auction house would be purged.

She Qisheng and She Mei's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. They had already been bought?!

"Tell me, where is that person!"

She Qisheng roared as he interrogated Rajef, his heart filled with anxiety. Any further delay could mean their daughters suffered even more harm.

As the poisonous gas gradually penetrated deeper, Rajef's face became extremely ugly. Pain showed in his eyes, and his voice weakened into a faint whisper.

"Room Nine at Tianhe Hotel."

"Tianhe Hotel." When She Qisheng heard that name, wariness appeared in his eyes. He knew it was the Heaven Dou Crown Prince's territory, but thinking of his two daughters' safety, he could no longer care about that.

Looking at Rajef inside the Snake Cage, ruthlessness appeared in She Qisheng's eyes. He controlled the purple-scaled snakes within the cage and had them bite Rajef to death, preventing him from surviving to warn anyone.

Without time to think further, She Qisheng and She Mei turned and rushed toward Tianhe Hotel.

Tianhe Hotel

Room Nine~

She Qing'er lay in Gu Shenggo's arms, enjoying her master's caresses. Her beautiful face was flushed and alluring, her seductive eyes hazy as silk. Obediently, her pale purple snake tail rapidly swayed before Gu Shenggo, sometimes curving and sometimes straightening.

"Qing'er is such a good girl."

Gu Shenggo looked at the obedient and compliant She Qing'er in his arms and praised her. At the same time, a drop of Dragon Emperor's Saliva brimming with rich Soul Power condensed on his fingertip, releasing an enticing fragrance.

Smelling the Dragon Emperor's Saliva, desire appeared on She Qing'er's lovely face. Her pink lips parted slightly, and the drop on Gu Shenggo's fingertip fell into her mouth.

Her throat moved as She Qing'er absorbed the Dragon Emperor's Saliva. Its effects took hold, and she could clearly feel her Soul Power rise a little.

"Thank you, Master~"

She Qing'er looked utterly satisfied, her voice soft and sweet. Her snake tail voluntarily wrapped around Gu Shenggo's waist, greatly pleasing him.

He raised a hand to stroke She Qing'er's head, his eyes filled with tenderness and satisfaction. What an obedient pet.

Dragon Emperor's Saliva could help Soul Masters increase their Soul Power, though it was highly addictive. Still, it was extremely convenient for taming pets or controlling Soul Masters.

She Yan'er, who was suspended in the air, looked at her incomparably obedient sister in Gu Shenggo's arms, already tamed by him. Sorrow appeared in her pale purple snake eyes.

She had failed to protect her sister, allowing her to become that demon's pet.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, followed by a voice.

"Hello, your meal is here."

Hearing this, a hint of confusion appeared in Gu Shenggo's eyes. This voice was wrong. He remembered that the one who had always delivered his meals was a young girl. Although this voice had been deliberately lowered, Gu Shenggo could still hear the maturity within it.

Something was wrong.

"Go play with your sister."

Gu Shenggo gently told She Qing'er in his arms to go play with the suspended She Yan'er.

She Qing'er nodded obediently, loosened her snake tail from around Gu Shenggo's waist, and crawled toward her sister.

Gu Shenggo walked to the door and extended his spiritual power. As expected, the person outside was not the young girl who usually brought him meals, but a bewitching mature woman. Her delicate face was cold and beautiful, and her tall, voluptuous figure was comparable to Hu Yun's.

Beside the beautiful woman stood a gaunt man. Judging by the Soul Power he sensed, he was a Soul Saint.

Interesting.

A layer of Soul Power defense condensed over Gu Shenggo's body to prevent him from being injured by a surprise attack. Then, he opened the door.

Hehehe... hehehe... slurp. Time to eat.
