Qing Lin

The next morning.

Queen Medusa, dressed in a long purple gown, sat by a clear lake, combing her waist-length hair in front of the mirror-like water.

Wearing a white undergarment, Mo Tang walked gently behind the former, bent down, and placed his hands on the other's slender waist.

"Yes, my Queen is so beautiful..."

Looking at the reflection in the water, Mo Tang smiled and praised.

A smile flickered in Queen Medusa's narrow eyes, clearly indicating that she quite liked this cloying display.

After spending some more time together, the two tidied their clothes and prepared to meet the other people.

"By the way, did you ever provoke a girl with a Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils before?"

Inside the Snake People Tribe's Temple, after the four of them had gathered, Queen Medusa suddenly asked Mo Tang a question.

But before she could finish speaking, two more pairs of eyes swept over, glaring at Mo Tang with predatory intent...

Mo Tang was slightly surprised at first, then immediately protested his innocence. "I just know him, how could I have provoked him?!"

"How did you know? Have you seen Qing Lin before?"

Queen Medusa nodded. "Qing Lin? That must be it..."

"That was about a year ago... She came to cause trouble for the Mo Clan, but I happened to be in Salt City at the time, so I stopped her and we fought once."

Mo Tang became interested and asked, "You two fought? How was it? What's that girl's strength now? How much of an impact did her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils have on you?"

Queen Medusa recalled the events with a smile, seemingly having a good impression of Qing Lin.

"In terms of strength, he should be around Three Stars Dou Zun now. However, with the help of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, he should be able to fight Four-Star Dou Zun without any problem."

As for me...

Although the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils is said to be the nemesis of all snake-like Demonic Beasts, it has almost no effect on my bloodline level. Unless its strength surpasses mine, those eyes are useless against me.

Mo Tang nodded.

"And then what happened?"

Medusa looked at Mo Tang with interest and said, "Later, I took her to live with the Snake People Tribe for a while, and then I heard a lot of things from that little girl..."

Mo Tang, with his upright character, had nothing to fear. Unfazed by Medusa's gaze, he asked, "What? How much of this is about me?"

"As for you, there's not much... but judging from the girl's expression, her feelings for you are quite complicated. What exactly did you do back then that makes her still so hung up on you?"

Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

I never expected that little girl Qing Lin would still remember what I said about saving her.

If you think about it, it's not actually impossible.

After all, the environment at that time filled the little girl's heart with fear. Perhaps Mo Tang, who suddenly appeared out of the sky, was the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

Although a series of reasons led to her being rescued by the Heavenly Snake Mansion, in Qing Lin's heart, the Heavenly Snake Mansion's actions were probably not as good as Mo Tang's words back then.

It was only when Qing Lin learned that Mo Tang was also a member of the Mo Clan who had captured her that she felt such complicated emotions.

"By the way, things aren't peaceful in the Heavenly Snake Mansion right now either. I heard they have Dou Zun- level expert appearing there. If you could find an opportunity to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress, you might just be able to win back the young lady's heart..."

At this point, Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes completely obscuring her purple eyes, making it impossible to discern the changes in her emotions.

In an instant, Mo Tang straightened his back slightly...

Because he sensed a dangerous aura approaching him.

"What kind of talk is that! I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in their vulnerable state..."

"Ahem, but..."

The turmoil across the Northwest Continent is no simple matter; it's being manipulated by the Soul Hall. If we leave, the strength of the Jia Ma Empire will inevitably be weakened. Therefore, I plan to have the Jia Ma Empire, the Wind Thunder Alliance of the Black Corner Region, and the Heavenly Snake Empire form a three-way alliance to deal with potential dangers..."

His words only earned him three eye rolls.

Just as the four were discussing how to resolve the crisis, Queen Medusa's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Mo Tang was the first to notice the former's abnormality.

Medusa said with a solemn expression, "It seems that fate really is going to give you a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress..."

The Heavenly Snake Empire, Tian Snake Fortress.

The Tian Snake Fortress is located in the Heavenly Serpent Heavenly Snake Mountain Range Heavenly Snake Empire. It is surrounded by towering mountains, with only a narrow passage of less than 100 meters in the middle, making it an impregnable fortress.

Before the fortress lay an endless black wasteland, sparsely populated, with only the howling of the wind.

At the heart of the fortress stood a colossal fortress, dozens of meters high. In the fortress's main hall, all the experts from the Heavenly Snake Mansion were gathered.

A heavy atmosphere filled the hall, making everyone present afraid to speak.

Among everyone, a girl in a blue dress sitting at the head of the table stood out...

The girl appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, with a distinctly curvaceous figure. Her exquisite physique was even comparable to that of women like Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian, and her petite appearance added a unique charm to her.

"Everyone, the Snow Bone Sect's army is pressing in. They'll be outside the Tian Snake Fortress in less than three hours. At that point, a great battle will likely be unavoidable..."

The Heavenly Snake Mansion Master glanced at everyone present and said softly.

The Snake Spiritist, Lu Man, who had previously appeared, had now broken through to the Dou Zong, greatly enhancing his status within the Heavenly Snake Mansion Palace. Upon hearing the Palace Master's words, he continued, "If it were just the Snow Bone Sect, it would be fine, but they clearly have other powerful figures supporting them. I'm afraid those people are in cahoots with the people who caused trouble in the Heavenly Snake Empire last time, which would be troublesome... They have Dou Zun!"

When the topic of Dou Zun came up, everyone's eyes turned to the girl in green.

Although the Heavenly Snake Mansion has many powerful figures, it only has one Dou Zun...

Even the Lord of the Heavenly Snake Mansion is only at the Peak Dou Zong level.

Previously, when the Heavenly Snake Empire was in great turmoil, two Dou Zun expert had already emerged. If it weren't for the Holy Maiden's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the Heavenly Snake Empire would probably have fallen into complete chaos like other empires.

Despite the stares directed at her, the girl in blue remained calm and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent that guy White Fang to the Jia Ma Empire for help..."

"As long as Sister Medusa comes, even if the Snow Bone Sect has powerful backers, it's nothing to worry about!"
