Girl, Your Legs Are So Fair

"You'll have a better future if you follow me. I won't hurt you."

Qing Lin stuck out her tongue. "No way. The Mo family wants to capture me, and you want to capture me too. You both want my Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

Bai Xiaoran watched the veiled woman warily. "You want to take her away without even explaining your intentions?"

"I see that you are her friend, and you are so young and beautiful. I do not wish to hurt you."

She truly did not want to harm Bai Xiaoran. She only wanted to take Qing Lin away, but Bai Xiaoran stubbornly refused to let her get close. It was quite troublesome for her.

After a moment, the woman explained, "My name is Lü Man, and I come from the Heavenly Snake Mansion. The elders discovered the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden and specially sent me to bring the Holy Maiden back to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, so she must return with me."

Lü Man should be a Dou Emperor, and the Heavenly Snake Mansion was indeed a stepping stone for Qing Lin to grow stronger.

Lü Man said, "So, can you hand her over to me now?"

She had originally intended to take Qing Lin and leave directly. She had not expected Bai Xiaoran to arrive before her. And judging from the flames just now, they were undoubtedly Heavenly Flames. Having this young woman cultivate by her side would not be bad either.

Before she could continue, a voice reached them.

"Kid, are you done yet? This old man can barely hold on."

"That voice belongs to your companion!"

"That's right."

Lü Man grabbed Bai Xiaoran and Qing Lin by the arms and flew straight out of the prison. By the time they reached the skies above the Mo family, Hai Bodong was already covered in wounds.

"Senior, are you all right?"

Hai Bodong said, "Just minor wounds. Let's leave the Mo family first!"

"Did you deal with Mo Cheng?"

"No. He just escaped. I have no idea what he went off to do."

The four of them then left the Mo family and arrived at an open area.

Lü Man held Bai Xiaoran's arm and asked expectantly, "Miss, would you like to come to the Heavenly Snake Mansion with me? I am a Dou Emperor. You can become my disciple."

"So suddenly?"

Bai Xiaoran was somewhat surprised. Rather than asking about Qing Lin first, Lü Man had asked whether she wanted to join the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

Under her intense gaze, Bai Xiaoran's cheeks reddened. "Thank you for your kindness, Sister."

Lü Man's heart suddenly raced. She had never felt so moved by a woman before. She was supposed to like men!

"So, will you come with me?"

Bai Xiaoran blushed. "I can't agree. As for Qing Lin, you can take her away. I still have to continue down my own path."

"Why?" Lü Man felt stifled. Did Bai Xiaoran look down on her?

Hai Bodong muttered to himself, If you take him away, who will break this old man's seal?

In the end, Lü Man did not force Bai Xiaoran.

Bai Xiaoran crouched down and stroked Qing Lin's head. "Qing Lin, the people of the Heavenly Snake Mansion will not harm you. On the contrary, they can help you grow stronger."

"No, Qing Lin doesn't want to leave Young Master Xiaoran!"

"Do you want to become stronger?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to protect me?"

"Yes!"

"Then go to the Heavenly Snake Mansion."

Qing Lin said, "But..."

"No buts. Leave quickly now!"

Suddenly, an attack pierced Qing Lin and began draining her strength.

Lü Man froze for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and severed the tentacle siphoning power from Qing Lin's body.

Mo Cheng landed on the ground. "I never expected her to be rescued by you!"

Hai Bodong said, "This fellow has already lost himself to power. His goal is to absorb the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and advance to Dou Emperor."

Losing oneself to power was clearly not a good thing.

Mo Cheng laughed loudly. "I have already advanced to the peak of Dou Ling. I am only one step away from becoming a Dou Wang, so you will not be taking the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils away."

Hai Bodong and Bai Xiaoran looked at the half-human, half-beast Mo Cheng, their eyes filled with nothing but pity.

Lü Man said, "Forgive me, but I cannot help you. Qing Lin has had part of her essence drained away. If she is not treated, her life will be in danger."

"You only need to take Qing Lin and leave. As someone from the Heavenly Snake Mansion, taking her away is your highest priority."

"All right. Then you must be careful as well."

She also wanted to leave a good impression in Bai Xiaoran's heart.

A peak Dou Ling was nothing to worry about. As long as he had not advanced to Dou Wang, Hai Bodong and Bai Xiaoran could handle him.

Lü Man said no more. She immediately picked up the unconscious Qing Lin and left.

"I hope I will see you in the Central Plains."

"You will. And if Qing Lin loses even a single hair, I won't let your Heavenly Snake Mansion off."

Lü Man flew away with Qing Lin in her arms.

Seeing his prey leaving, Mo Cheng immediately rushed after them, intending to capture the two fleeing figures, but Hai Bodong instantly froze both of his hands.

"You two little rats, since the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are gone, I'll use you as nourishment instead."

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were the key to his breakthrough into Dou Emperor.

Hai Bodong said, "You have long since lost the right to be human."

"Profound Ice Dragon Soar!"

"Mysterious Fire Three Transformations!"

An ice dragon, accompanied by three constantly shifting flames, shot directly toward Mo Cheng.

Even after Mo Cheng was blasted away, he rose to his feet completely unscathed.

"Such superficial attacks are useless against me."

Mo Cheng immediately unleashed two palm strikes at the two of them.

Unable to account for Bai Xiaoran, Hai Bodong could only withstand the attack head-on.

Bai Xiaoran held on for only a short while before she was instantly blasted away.

"Kid!" Hai Bodong wanted to catch her, but Mo Cheng immediately blocked his path.

"Don't even think about saving her."

What Mo Cheng had not expected was for Bai Xiaoran to rise into the air and strike him directly with the Heavenly Flames in her hand.

"Dou Wings? Are you a Dou Emperor... no, what Dou Technique are you using?"

Mo Cheng cursed in pain. "You actually possess Heavenly Flames!"

"Surprised?"

"Very. After all, if I devour you, I can possess Heavenly Flames too."

Mo Cheng then stretched out his two massive hands, grabbing Hai Bodong and Bai Xiaoran respectively.

Mo Cheng charged in front of Bai Xiaoran and sent her flying with a single punch.

She crashed heavily into a tree, her vision beginning to blur. Taking a direct strike from a peak Dou Ling expert was still too much for her.

Hai Bodong said, "Kid."

Bai Xiaoran's eyes were filled with fury, but her body could no longer endure it, and she fainted on the ground.

Mo Cheng laughed. "What a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, you should not have attacked me!"

Just as he prepared to absorb Bai Xiaoran, a black shadow rushed over and kicked Mo Cheng away.

"You want to lay a hand on Young Master? Let's see if you have the ability!"

Hai Bodong broke free and arrived beside the black shadow. "You are this kid's protector?"

"I was protecting him in secret as well. I never expected that fellow to rely on such a secret technique!" Ling Ying had thought there would be no trouble, but Mo Cheng and the Heavenly Snake Mansion had become unforeseen variables.

"I knew this kid couldn't possibly have come from a tiny place like Wutan City if he could possess Heavenly Flames and even copy my Dou Techniques."

Ling Ying said, "Let's join forces and deal with this man. Young Master cannot discover me."

"No problem!"

Mo Cheng glared furiously. "Another Dou Emperor!"

"Dragon Soaring Heaven!"

Ling Ying gripped his longsword and carved a sharp gash across Mo Cheng's back.

"Ah!"
