Tagor Desert

"Let's go, let's go!"

Their boss was dead. These little lackeys had no desire to follow him to the grave.

Before long, the remaining men were dismissed, while the leftover supplies were divided evenly between the mercenary group and the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

Xiao Yi Xian said, "Young Master Bai, you're amazing. It feels like you didn't even use your trump card!"

"Everyone has a trump card to save their life. When traveling outside, I naturally have to be careful."

Xiao Yi Xian said, "That's true. Young Master Bai, you must stay safe when you're out and about, or you could easily be molested."

Girls like her all liked looks like Bai Xiaoran's, not to mention those bad people who specialized in abducting girls.

Bai Xiaoran tapped Xiao Yi Xian on the head and scolded her, "You still dare bring that up? Haven't you eaten enough of it?"

"Young Master Bai is so beautiful. Once Xiao Yi Xian grows up a little more, she'll definitely become one of a pair of beautiful sisters with Young Master Bai."

"What are you even thinking?"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled. "Young Master Bai is so beautiful that there's nothing wrong with being a girl. Wearing a plain dress and carrying a longsword would make you look like a cold and aloof swordswoman."

"Use that head of yours to think of something decent."

Bai Xiaoran looked at the delighted Xiao Yi Xian. Not long after he left, she would likely encounter both her own opportunity and her pain.

"Young Master Bai, I still don't know your name."

"My name is Bai Xiaoran. You don't have to keep calling me Young Master Bai."

Xiao Yi Xian said, "Then I'll call you Sister Xiaoran!"

"Call me Brother Xiaoran. You can't call me Sister."

Xiao Yi Xian chuckled. What she called him was up to her, wasn't it?

Over the following days, Bai Xiaoran remained at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion and devoted himself to cultivation, swiftly absorbing the Purple Crystal Companion Source into his body.

His cultivation also reached Five-star Dou Master.

"Mmm... ah, Xiao Yi Xian, don't touch the soles of my feet."

Bai Xiaoran gripped the bedsheet tightly, his face flushed as he tried to pull his feet back, but Xiao Yi Xian stubbornly held them down.

"I learned it from a Dou Skill. Bear with it, Brother Xiaoran."

Only after tapping Bai Xiaoran's Jade Feet several times did Xiao Yi Xian release him.

At that moment, Bai Xiaoran was weak all over. It did feel good, but why did it feel so much like a woman about to be forced against her will?

Once Bai Xiaoran regained his strength, he immediately put on his shoes. After changing into white clothes, he wiped the smile from his face and said, "My journey through the Monster Beast Mountain Range has come to an end as well."

"You're leaving?"

"I should go. We'll meet again someday!"

Meet again... what would they be like when they met again?

Bai Xiaoran spread his Purple Cloud Wings and flew into the sky, leaving behind Qingshan Town.

"Brother Xiaoran... Sister. Sister is easier to say. Once I become stronger, I'll make her call me Sister."

At this time, Bai Xiaoran, having left Qingshan Town, headed toward the Tagor Desert.

After several days and nights of travel, he successfully arrived at the Tagor Desert.

"It's my first time seeing a desert. I hope I don't get lost."

Over the following days, Bai Xiaoran searched back and forth through the desert. Forget finding Hai Bodong—he did not even see a single person.

Suddenly, several voices came from the distance.

Having not seen a living person for days, Bai Xiaoran immediately rushed over.

By the time he arrived, he saw the scene before him.

Three Snake-People were escorting five human women.

"Move it, move it! If you don't hurry up, we'll leave you to die in the desert!"

One Snake-People man cracked a whip against the ground.

"Boss, there's still some distance to the tribe. Nothing unexpected will happen, right?"

A powerfully built Snake-Man waved his hand. "No. Our auras are completely concealed."

The moment he said that, he saw three flames hurtling toward him.

The Snake-Man froze for a moment before hurriedly dodging aside, then roared angrily, "Who is it?!"

He had barely finished speaking when someone attacked. What timing.

"Your grandpa!"

Bai Xiaoran threw out a flame that transformed into a palm.

After blocking it, the Snake-Man was instantly startled upon seeing Bai Xiaoran.

"A woman!"

"Boss, this woman is far better than those five."

The Snake-Man said, "I know. If we capture her and bring her back, we'll definitely be rewarded!"

The other five human women hurriedly said, "Sister, run! That man is a Seven-star Dou Master. You're no match for him."

Such a beautiful sister would surely suffer the fate of being forced if she fell into the Snake-People's hands.

Bai Xiaoran said, "Don't worry, little sisters. I'm not as weak as I look!"

The Snake-Man could not see through Bai Xiaoran's cultivation.

Then, the three Snake-People charged him together.

"Too slow!"

Bai Xiaofei used Subtle Shadow Steps and directly kicked all three Snake-People flying.

"Hiss, what speed!"

The Snake-Man immediately sensed that things were going badly. "Run! This person is clearly no pushover. Anyone who can appear here must be an expert above the Dou Master level!"

"Run!"

The three Snake-People immediately turned and fled at high speed.

"They ran just like that?"

He had thought there would be a fierce battle.

"Big Sister is amazing!"

The five women all praised him.

Bai Xiaoran cut apart the chains on their ankles and wrists, then took out five Hemostatic Pills for them to swallow.

"Thank you, Sister!"

"I'm a boy!"

"Don't lie to us, Sister. You're clearly even prettier than we are."

Bai Xiaoran continued, "Whatever you say. But why were you captured?"

"The five of us came here from elsewhere to gain experience. We didn't expect to encounter those three Snake-People. We couldn't defeat them, so we were captured."

After asking a few questions and receiving no clear answers, Bai Xiaoran did not continue questioning them. Instead, he led the five women toward a nearby city.

He could not rest easy leaving the five of them alone.

"Sister, your face is so soft."

"Sister, your hands are so delicate."

"Sister, do you need a maid? I can warm your bed."

The five of them chirped nonstop all along the way. Once they found a city and settled the women down—

"Sister, will we meet again?"

"If fate wills it, we'll meet again!"

With that, Bai Xiaoran turned and left, beginning to search nearby for a map that marked the desert.

He had to be quick. It would be bad if Queen Medusa got there first.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

"What good is sorry? Pay up, pay up!"

A middle-aged man berated the Girl in Blue Dress, who was squatting on the ground picking things up.

Bai Xiaoran walked over and asked, "Did she offend you?"

The middle-aged man saw Bai Xiaoran and immediately stared at him with a lecherous gaze. "This girl broke two of my porcelain bottles. They're worth five gold coins!"

"Here are ten gold coins. Take them."

After catching the coins, the middle-aged man immediately changed his attitude. "Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss."

Bai Xiaoran crouched down to help the girl pick up the fruit.

The middle-aged man said, "Miss, there's no need to pity her. She's only the offspring of a Snake-People and a human. She isn't worth pitying in the first place, especially since she's Snake-People!"

Bai Xiaoran naturally ignored him and continued helping.

The girl felt even more inferior. Distracted, she accidentally cut Bai Xiaoran's hand.

"You useless thing! You cut Miss's skin. Can you afford to compensate her?"

The girl immediately begged humbly, "Sister, I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't hit me, please don't hit me! I can pay you!"
