Typing with Both Hands to Prove My Innocence!

Inside the temple!

Led by Yue Mei, Lu Bu crossed the small lake and arrived at the island in its center.

In the original story, when Xiao Yan crossed this lake, he was slapped down by the restrictions and unable to fly. The lake water was highly toxic, so he could only swim across with Yao Lao's help. Just as he was about to reach shore, the magical beasts in the lake gave him a thorough beating. He had to exert tremendous effort before finally making it ashore.

Lu Bu was different from Xiao Yan. He had captured a guide, and Yue Mei easily deactivated the restrictions. The two flew over the lake, passed through the bamboo grove, and soon saw Medusa at the center of the island.

"Ah-ha... so this is Medusa..." Lu Bu's eyes immediately lit up. Before him stood a stunningly beautiful and bewitching snake-woman, proud and aloof.

A graceful, noble pale-purple brocade robe wrapped around her full, fiery, exquisite figure. Her delicate and enchanting face seemed born to captivate, while her narrow pale-purple eyes were seductive and mesmerizing, enough to make anyone sink into them.

She truly deserved her far-reaching reputation for beauty—Medusa!

At that moment, a trace of hesitation flashed across Medusa's breathtakingly alluring face. Naturally, she understood full well how dangerous this method was.

Lu Bu's eyes shone brightly, but he reluctantly shifted his gaze to an ice crystal platform nearby. Upon it rested an ice crystal lotus.

At the center of the lotus platform, a pale cyan flame slowly rose. At times, it transformed into a fire serpent and coiled nimbly through the air; at others, it became a lotus flower and rotated leisurely.

"That's a Heavenly Flame?" Yue Mei's tone was filled with shock. Snakes preferred cold, and she would never willingly approach something so supremely fiery and scorching, yet she was still utterly awed the instant she saw it.

"The Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth!" Lu Bu unusually took the time to explain to Yue Mei. "That's my target. Once your queen is done with it, I'll take it."

"Don't forget what you said. If she fails, save her soul," Yue Mei reminded him through clenched teeth.

"Don't worry."

Lu Bu replied carelessly. Medusa would succeed anyway. Was he supposed to tell her he had read the plot?

Yue Mei: "..."

I'm not reassured at all!

Outside the temple, the battle continued!

"Bastard, don't even think about barging into the temple!" Hua She's cold shout suddenly exploded outside, and the three people on the island stiffened.

"I'll hold her off. You go in first and find what you need." A calm female voice sounded, followed by Hua She's furious roar.

It was Yun Yun. She had stepped in to stop Hua She. As for the other two leaders, Feng Li and Yan Shi had held them back.

Yue Mei looked at Medusa, then toward the outside, her expression filled with conflict.

"Go. I'll watch things here!"

Lu Bu chuckled, slapped her ass... snake tail, and sent her retreating. At the same time, he retrieved the Soul Fire Seal.

"Stop Gu He. That's the task your master gave you," Lu Bu said with a light laugh.

"Pah! You damned bastard!"

Yue Mei spat, then flicked her snake tail and shot outward, charging toward the battle outside.

At the same time, Medusa, having heard the commotion, turned solemn. The hesitation on her face vanished in an instant, replaced entirely by determination. There was even a trace of resolve to face death on her flawless face.

"If the evolution succeeds, every human inside and outside the temple today will remain in the desert forever!"

Lu Bu rubbed his nose. She meant him too. It seemed this woman had already noticed his presence.

However, Medusa had no time to deal with Lu Bu. Her slender hand lightly brushed across her chest, and her fitted purple brocade robe instantly fell away, exposing a flawless, perfect body to the air.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Lu Bu sucked in a sharp breath and hurriedly looked away. He began silently reciting the Heart Sutra of Seducing Women... no, the Diamond Sutra. At the same time, he typed with both hands to prove his innocence!

"This woman... I almost lost control of myself!" Lu Bu said with lingering fear. It was quite a wonderful sight, but he was not feeling wonderful at all!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Bu regrouped and prepared to take another look. This time, he would examine it very, very carefully.

But at that moment, purple light surged violently. A massive purple serpent dozens of meters long floated in the air. Its snake body was slender and elegant, faint fiery-red patterns hidden beneath its purple scales. Looking closely, one could even vaguely make out minute traces of seven colors within them.

The Purple Nether Flame Snake, one of the rare fire-attributed snake magical beasts. Legend said it possessed a faint trace of the bloodline of an ancient colossal beast, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

Judging from the plot, that clearly wasn't just a rumor!

The Purple Nether Flame Snake swept its gaze over the battle outside and Lu Bu's location, then suddenly plunged headfirst into the pale cyan Green Lotus Core Flame.

As it did so, it destroyed the formation it had set up to control the Heavenly Flame. The instant the formation broke, the Green Lotus Core Flame erupted and soared straight into the sky.

At the same time, the Purple Nether Flame Snake charged forward and plunged into it.

Lu Bu grimaced. This woman was really fierce—like a moth flying into a flame, seeking her own death.

Yet she was also like a phoenix bathing in fire, achieving rebirth through nirvana.

"Screech... screech... screech—!!"

A miserable shriek suddenly came from the Purple Nether Flame Snake's mouth. Purple light bloomed within the Green Lotus Core Flame, constantly battling against the pale cyan firelight.

But getting in was easy; getting out would be difficult. A divine treasure of heaven and earth like the Green Lotus Core Flame was not something one could enter and leave whenever one pleased.

"Your Majesty the Queen!" Outside the temple, Yue Mei's expression changed drastically as she fought Gu He. She looked worriedly toward the island in the lake.

"You still dare to lose focus while fighting me?!" Gu He sneered. A pillar of blue fire suddenly shot forth and slammed into Yue Mei, smashing her into the wall.

His combat strength might indeed have been weak among Dou Emperors, but among Dou Wangs, he was far from weak.

"Damn it, I'll kill you!" Yue Mei roared in rage and humiliation, murderous intent boiling over as she unleashed attack after attack at Gu He without regard for her life.

I can't beat Lu Bu, but can't I beat you too?!

But at that moment, the miserable wailing began to fade. In just a few breaths, it became weak, then turned into whimpers, and then... vanished completely.

Yue Mei froze in the midst of her rage. Your Majesty the Queen... had failed?

"Heh heh... is that any way to use a Heavenly Flame?" Gu He sneered, smashing his fist into Yue Mei's face and sending her into the wall once more.

"A treasure like a Heavenly Flame is wasted in your hands. Better let me have it... huh?"

Gu He was speaking smugly when a chill suddenly ran down his spine. The energy of heaven and earth around him began to boil, and a terrifying aura erupted. Dark clouds gathered, followed by bolt after bolt of lightning crashing down.

"Your Majesty the Queen succeeded!" Yue Mei shouted joyfully. A heavenly lightning tribulation—this was an omen that only appeared when a strange beast was born.

"Heh heh heh, you humans can just wait to die... die...?" Yue Mei had barely begun gloating when the aura rapidly faded, like remnant snow meeting the blazing sun. In an instant, it vanished without a trace.

Yue Mei: "..."

The reversal had come too fast. She could hardly react...

Gu He gave a derisive laugh, pushed off the ground, and flashed away.

On the island in the lake!

Lu Bu stared at a Seven-Colored Little Snake about the width of a finger and roughly ten centimeters long. Their eyes were both wide open. When Lu Bu moved left, it moved left; when Lu Bu moved right, it moved right.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Lu Bu sucked in a breath. This thing seemed to like him a little?

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python circled twice, then slowly floated onto Lu Bu's right hand. Its crystal-clear eyes were filled with longing.

It had just been born and needed milk. Surely it couldn't expect him to go into the kitchen and cook for it himself?
