Return to the Snake-People Mountain Range

Snake-People Mountain Range.

The Snake-People Palace.

At this moment, outside the heavily guarded hall, a woman in a brocade robe stood with her hands behind her back. The woman had an extremely alluring figure, and even the slightly loose robe could not hide her devilish curves that made people's hearts flutter.

The woman, possessing a bewitching and alluring beauty, frowned slightly as she looked at the handsome young man before her, showing a hint of surprise.

"Isn't this Young Clan Leader Yan? What brings you to the Snake-People Tribe today?"

"To fulfill our promise from back then, come with me and I'll help you become Dou Sheng Expert."

Huo Xuan said casually.

"Dou Sheng!"

Queen Medusa couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Since joining the Flame Clan, she has never had to worry about a shortage of cultivation resources. With the help of the Flame Clan, she has now reached the Peak Dou Zun!

However, there is still a considerable gap between him and the Dou Sheng level.

Now that Huo Xuan says he can help her advance to the Dou Sheng, how can she remain calm?

"It will probably take about a year and a half to advance to the Dou Sheng level. How far you go during that time will depend entirely on your own fortune."

As he spoke, Huo Xuan's gaze couldn't help but sweep over Queen Medusa's curvaceous and alluring figure once more.

Upon seeing this, Queen Medusa's expression suddenly stiffened, and a strange unease arose in her heart. A faint blush, barely perceptible, crept onto her pretty face.

"Please wait a moment, I need to make arrangements for all matters, big and small, Snake-People Tribe while I'm away."

Queen Medusa left quickly, and a moment later, she disappeared from Huo Xuan's sight.

Huo Xuan shook his head upon seeing Medusa's reaction; it was merely a man's normal appreciation of beauty.

To be honest, Huo Xuan didn't really have much of a desire for Medusa. He wasn't so desperate as to want a half-human, half-beast humanoid monster.

Although this humanoid monster is very beautiful, that still cannot change the fact that she is a monster.

Huo Xuan and Medusa are only in a superior-subordinate relationship. They probably haven't developed any feelings for each other yet, let alone any interracial love.

"Without Xiao Yan, Medusa's fate has changed quite a bit..."

In the original storyline, Queen Medusa was already a mother. As for the current Queen Medusa, we'll have to wait and see how the story unfolds.

According to the original storyline of Battle Through the Heavens, after Xiao Yan obtained the Fallen Heart Flame, he was overcome by evil fire and unexpectedly had a relationship with Queen Medusa, resulting in the birth of a daughter.

The daughter was named Xiao Xiao.

Huo Xuan still remembers Xiao Xiao, who was the most overpowered character in the original novel. He was born as Dou Zong and was showered with love and affection. Later, Xiao Yan became Dou Di, and due to the strength boost brought by the Dou Di Bloodline, his cultivation reached the level of Eight Star Dou Sheng!

Now, because he ruined the plot, Xiao Xiao was not born. Of course, he wouldn't bother creating a Xiao Xiao with Queen Medusa.

As for whether Xiao Xiao will be born? That depends on which Snake-People handsome man among the Snake-People Tribe is capable of winning over Queen Medusa.

However, even if Xiao Xiao is born in the future, she will not be the Xiao Xiao with the most overpowered abilities in the original story. She will only be the next Queen Medusa, and will no longer be the daughter of the Flame Emperor.

"Young Master."

A timid female voice came from behind. Huo Xuan turned around curiously and saw a beautiful young girl in a light green dress standing in front of him.

Although the girl was petite, she could still be described as having a well-proportioned figure. Her oval face was extremely delicate, with a hint of allure.

What caught Huo Xuan's attention, however, was not these things, but the girl's strange eyes.

Those were beautiful eyes filled with emerald green, but at this moment, deep within those eyes, there were three small green dots surrounding the pupils, like three extremely tiny green flowers, exuding an eerie feeling.

"Qing Lin? You're Qing Lin?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful girl in the green dress nodded, acknowledging her identity.

"Young Master, I am Qing Lin."

Huo Xuan's target in the Snake-People Mountain Range this time was Medusa, not Qing Lin. However, since he was already there, it was necessary to check on Qing Lin's current condition as well.

"It's been many years since your last check-up. I hope your cultivation hasn't fallen behind."

"Cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin honestly replied, "Young Master, I have now cultivated to the Six-Star Dou Zun."

"It's alright."

Huo Xuan said casually.

"Keep up the good work."

After thinking for a moment, Huo Xuan spoke.

"The Void Ancient Dragon Clan has an ancient Ancient Dragon Graveyard, the resting place of all the ancient dragons, where the dragon energy is extremely strong. Another day, I will discuss with the Void Ancient Dragon Clan about having you go there to cultivate in the Ancient Dragon Graveyard. After that, your strength should also improve by leaps and bounds."

"I understand. Young master, I have one more question..."

"Qing Lin said somewhat nervously."

"What's the problem?"

"I..."

Qing Lin looked at Huo Xuan with complicated emotions. After a long while, she finally mustered up her courage and asked, "Young... Young Master... I want to ask you a question... Back then, was it because I had the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils that you saved me?"

Upon hearing Qing Lin's words, Huo Xuan was slightly taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and said, "Why are you asking this? Is it important?"

"I... this..."

Qing Lin sensed a hint of displeasure in Huo Xuan's words, and he stammered, unable to finish his sentence.

"That's right, I saved you because I saw that you had the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

Huo Xuan glanced at Qing Lin and admitted it quite frankly.

When Huo Xuan saved Qing Lin, he never felt sorry for her. Even if she had been beaten to death by that group of people, it had nothing to do with him. If she didn't have the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, he wouldn't have bothered with her, let alone saved her.

Upon hearing Huo Xuan's reply, Qing Lin's eyes immediately dimmed, and her gaze towards Huo Xuan was filled with disappointment as she said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, young master..."

Huo Xuan looked on with a heavy expression, watching Qing Lin's departing figure filled with disappointment.

He wasn't surprised by Qing Lin's reaction. In fact, he had already vaguely realized that Qing Lin might have some feelings for him.

Of course, Huo Xuan isn't being narcissistic.

He never considered himself the most handsome man in the world, nor did he believe he possessed any powerful charm that would make every girl fall head over heels in love with him and give up everything for him.

His reason for thinking this way is still based on the original work.

In the original novel, Qing Lin also secretly liked Xiao Yan. As a half-human and Snake-People, Qing Lin suffered a lot of contempt and discrimination. Xiao Yan was the first person to bring her warmth. Even though she spent very little time with Xiao Yan, that warmth remained in her heart.

In her life, Xiao Yan was the first person who didn't see her as an outsider, the one who brought her warmth. Like Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan's gentleness towards her eventually gave rise to a strange emotion within her, an emotion that, as time passed, began to subtly change...

After being kidnapped by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Qing Lin met Xiao Yan again in the Ancient Ruins many years later. She resolutely decided to break away from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and join Xiao Yan's camp.

Although she has not met Xiao Yan yet, she has replaced Xiao Yan in Qing Lin's heart. Back then, she saved her, did not treat her as an outsider, and provided her with cultivation resources so that she could become a strong person.

Since Qing Lin was able to fall for Xiao Yan in the original story, Huo Xuan felt that he was not much worse than Xiao Yan. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Qing Lin had some feelings for him, right?

But feelings can't be forced. Just because Qing Lin likes me doesn't mean I have to like her too.

He was just telling the truth. Qing Lin is a special physique for him, and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils is just that— the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils...

"Qing Lin's growth has exceeded expectations. It seems we'll need to keep a closer eye on her from now on. If she dares to betray us, we'll have no choice but to deal with her..."

Huo Xuan secretly pondered to himself.

However, he believed that Qing Lin would not think that he saved her because of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, or that he was using her, and thus betray him "out of love turned to hate".

I doubt such a melodramatic plot would happen.

If such a melodramatic plot were to actually occur, then Huo Xuan would have no choice but to painfully eliminate the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils that he had nurtured for so long.

In the parlance of a past life, let's just consider this a failed investment.
