Return to the Clan

Lei Dong had already put it that way, so Yun Yun seemed to have no choice but to agree. Besides, Lei Dong was an overbearing man by nature. He had been like that even when he had not been controlling her, let alone now that he had her completely in his grasp.

After leaving Yun Yun on the outskirts of the Flower Sect, Lei Dong returned toward the Lei Clan with Lei Ya. There was nothing left for him to do outside. Lei Dong had already specifically instructed Lei Ya to deal with everything available in the Black-Corner Region. With the strength of a One Star Dou Zun, handling those matters was child's play.

As for the Exotic Flame within Burning Flame Valley, that was a place guarded by a Dou Sheng. Clearly, it was impossible for him and Lei Ya to seize it. Moreover, Tang Zhen was acquainted with the powerful members of the various clans in the Middle Continent. After all, Burning Flame Valley had been passed down by a major clan in the past. It had merely declined midway.

Therefore, if Lei Dong wanted to seize the flame, he could only return to the clan and ask a Dou Sheng elder to assist him. As for the imprint of the Exotic Flame? To Lei Dong, that was a minor matter. His Nine Heavens Divine Lightning possessed a special ability to erase soul imprints!

But the prerequisite was that he needed to know whether Huo Zhi was living up to expectations now!

If her strength could not satisfy him, Lei Dong would not choose to continue wasting time on her. At that point, she would only be suitable as a vase.

Half a month later... inside the Lei Realm.

This time, Lei Dong had only been away for three months.

After returning to the Lei Realm, Lei Ya went back to cultivate, while Lei Dong headed toward Huo Zhi's residence.

Naturally, Lei Dong went to see his parents first after returning. He also happened to learn from Lei Ying that the Flame Clan's Coming of Age Ceremony would be held in half a year. Although Huo Zhi was no longer a member of the Flame Clan, Yan Jin still wanted her to return and awaken her bloodline. Lei Dong did not object. He also wanted to know how Huo Zhi's bloodline had developed.

Moreover, even if Huo Zhi was not in the Lei Clan, they would still receive an invitation. This was a major event for the Ancient Races. Of course, it could also be called an opportunity to show off. Whenever a clan held its Coming of Age Ceremony, it would invite members of the other clans to attend.

Of course, the only Soul Clan seemed to exist for a special purpose. They never participated in any of the other clans' affairs. Whenever they did anything, they never invited anyone either. Naturally, even if Soul Emperor dared to extend an invitation, no one would dare go!

After all, even someone as powerful as Xiao Xuan had still died at Soul Emperor's hands.

The Coming of Age Ceremonies of the various clans were held at different times. That was because those who awakened their bloodlines at the same time were not merely people of the same age. Instead, it was an awakening for all the clan members of roughly the same age.

As for the Lei Clan's Coming of Age Ceremony, it would have to wait another three years. It would only be held three years later.

After learning of this matter, Lei Dong returned toward his own place. He had just agreed on Huo Zhi's behalf, but he did not even know whether this girl had finished her seclusion. According to his mother, she had already been in seclusion for nearly two years!

When Lei Dong returned to his residence, he happened to see Medusa coming out. After seeing the changes in Lei Dong, Medusa merely froze slightly.

Lei Dong was different. He had not seen Medusa for more than four years, and he suddenly realized that this Snake Woman had become even more alluring and seductive.

Her graceful figure stood proudly. She wore a slender, tight-fitting purple-and-cyan dress. A narrow sash encircled her waist, revealing a captivating curve like that of a snake. Paired with her cold yet enchanting face, she had only spaced out for a moment, but her appearance was utterly irresistible.

If Yun Yun was a mature peach, Medusa was practically fully ripened. At any moment, she gave people the urge to eat her.

After coming back to her senses, Medusa saw the intense possessiveness in Lei Dong's gaze and wanted to turn around and leave.

Because she was utterly confused right now, she did not know what attitude she should have toward Lei Dong. Was it love or hatred?

She had stayed in the Lei Realm for several years, and her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the level of a Five Star Dou Zun. None of this could be separated from the massive amount of resources provided by the Lei Clan. Therefore, Medusa was grateful to Lei Dong. Otherwise, regardless of how powerful her bloodline was or how outstanding her talent was, reaching this level in such a short time in the great desert of the Gama Empire on the Northwest Continent would have been nothing more than a Fool's Dream.

But when she thought back to everything Lei Dong had done to her after meeting her, as well as the control he had placed deep within her soul, she still remembered that feeling of wishing she were dead. It remained vivid in her memory.

Therefore, whenever she did not know how to face him, Medusa's first reaction was to run back inside.

When Lei Dong saw that Medusa wanted to run the moment she saw him, he froze slightly. After all, he was so handsome now. Shouldn't she throw herself at him instead of turning around and running?

Something seemed wrong with this plot, didn't it?

Lei Dong immediately shouted in displeasure, "Medusa, after four years apart, have you forgotten how terrifying This Young Master is? How dare you run the moment you see me!?"

Medusa, who had originally wanted to dart away, could not help but tremble when she heard Lei Dong's shout.

She instantly froze and did not dare move. Just now, she had only been thinking about how she should face Lei Dong, but she seemed to have forgotten that this man had always summoned her at will and dismissed her whenever he pleased!

At that moment, her wavering heart became clear.

"Love?" That simply did not exist. For a devil who only knew how to control her, what the hell could she love about him?

Medusa forced herself to calm down. Then she turned back expressionlessly, and her proud Queenly bearing appeared once more. Looking at Lei Dong, she said flatly, "What do you want!?"

Lei Dong had already approached Medusa. Hearing her tone, he nearly exploded on the spot!

Ever since he was born, others had always obeyed him. He disliked Medusa acting this way, so he said, "Oh? Looks like a few years of comfort have made you forget your own identity, haven't they?"

Lei Dong did not know what Medusa was thinking. He only knew that this woman needed disciplining again. After all, she was actually putting on a Queenly attitude in front of him once more?

However, Lei Dong had to admit that he really liked Medusa like this.

As for whether Medusa would love him or hate what he did, those were not things Lei Dong cared about. Her life was in his hands, after all. Why would he need her love?

Medusa had originally worn a cold and aloof expression, but after hearing the word "disciplining," she grew frightened once again. She thought Lei Dong was going to activate the lightning within her body and torment her again. She immediately wanted to submit... After all, she never wanted to experience that feeling of being unable to live or die ever again.

However, before she could speak, a force pulled her entire body forward. In the next moment, she crashed into Lei Dong's sturdy embrace.

The moment Lei Dong pulled Medusa into his arms, she felt dizzy and confused, but she also breathed a sigh of relief. At least this so-called "disciplining" was not soul torment!

However, when she felt the Big Hand covering her soft, mountainous curves, Medusa instinctively wanted to resist.

But after seeing the cold look in Lei Dong's eyes, she immediately abandoned the thought.

She truly did not dare resist, because she feared that rejecting Lei Dong would bring even more terrifying treatment. After all, the man before her was not the type to show consideration for a woman's feelings!
