"No, you can't!!!"

Panic appeared on Qing Lin's delicate oval face. She clasped her hands before her chest and cried out almost instinctively.

Having suffered bullying since childhood, she had always been timid. She treated everyone politely, terrified of being disliked or insulted. She had always felt that life was bleak and painful.

Not until she received the Diary Copy did she learn that she, too, could be needed and liked by someone.

From that moment on, Chu Xiao became the light that filled her entire world.

Absolutely, absolutely no one could kill Young Master Chu Xiao!

And the woman before her gave her a terrifying feeling that she could truly do as she said.

"Ah!"

Her shriek pierced the clouds. Qing Lin's delicate body trembled as her gem-like, crystal-clear eyes began to flicker. Three tiny green dots suddenly emerged around her pupils. After briefly blurring, they became clear, like three tiny flower buds.

Immediately afterward, a ghostly glow appeared. The three dots began to spin, transforming within moments into three minuscule green flowers.

A strange power emerged from those green flowers, becoming a beam of azure ghostly light that shot out fiercely.

"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!?"

The smile on Medusa's face froze, and she waved her hand almost instinctively.

As a peak Dou Huang powerhouse, she could barely employ Spatial Lockdown.

Within a hundred-meter radius, energy fluctuations below the Dou Zong level could neither penetrate nor spread.

But that action also left her with no time to dodge, and she was struck by the somewhat eerie ghostly light.

The beam slowly moved over her body before finally stopping at the center of her brow. It began to shrink gradually, while the light contained within grew brighter and brighter.

"Hmph!"

Medusa gave a proud snort.

She was a snake-person. Soon after birth, snake-people would have the soul of a snake-shaped demonic beast infused into them through a secret technique, becoming their companion soul. But she was not a snake-shaped demonic beast.

The legendary Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were indeed formidable, but controlling her was absolutely impossible.

"Disperse!"

Powerful Dou Qi surged from within Medusa, and the heaviness clouding her mind vanished in an instant.

The ghostly light dispersed, and the tiny flowers in Qing Lin's eyes rapidly faded away before finally disappearing.

Had she not witnessed the entire process herself, Medusa would have thought everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. No wonder." Medusa flashed to Qing Lin's side, caught her as she fell, and placed her back on the bed. Then she fell into a daze.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were the greatest strange eyes in the world. They almost exclusively appeared in the descendants of humans and snake-people, so Medusa, as the Snake-People Tribe's queen, understood them very well.

These eyes were the nemesis of all snake-shaped demonic beasts. Aside from a small number possessing pure ancient bloodlines, they could forcibly control them all. Once the eyes matured, they could form a space of their own to store the things they controlled.

As their owner's strength increased, the limit of that eye-space would also rise, while the strength of the snake-shaped demonic beasts stored within would slowly be absorbed.

As for humans and other non-snake-shaped demonic beasts, although they could not be controlled, their souls could still be drawn out and their bodies seized.

In theory, as Qing Lin grew stronger, if she could control a snake-type creature at the Dou Emperor level, she could reach the Dou Emperor realm herself.

And if she controlled a snake-type creature at the Heaven Supreme level...

"If you nurture her early enough, she may have a chance of becoming a Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme."

"The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils may not be enough, but you're an alchemist. Perhaps you can help her talent evolve into five flowers, or seven flowers?"

Medusa had not expected a single act of spying to bring her two unexpected gains.

She was in Stone Desert City. Knowing that one of Chu Xiao's two cousins had founded a mercenary group here, and that Qing Lin was in it, she had naturally come to take a look and verify the authenticity of the Diary's contents.

Of course, after being tormented sixty-nine times by the Chu Xiao's Notes Copy, she actually believed it completely. Thus, when she saw Qing Lin in person, she felt no great stir in her heart. Instead, she was thinking about how to make a reasonable appearance when Chu Xiao arrived.

Then, she heard Qing Lin talking to herself.

She actually knew that Chu Xiao was coming to find her.

She could foresee the future, just like Medusa herself.

A guess arose in Medusa's heart, and she prepared to test it.

In the end, Qing Lin was too easily frightened and even awakened the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

"Fortunately, I set up Spatial Lockdown early on. Otherwise, the fluctuations from your awakened talent would have been detected by the experts of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and they would have taken you away."

Medusa sat down on the bed again and quietly waited for Qing Lin to wake up. She planned to have a proper talk with her and confirm the guess in her heart.

Meanwhile, Yun Yun spread her Dou Qi wings and flew directly into the Xiao Family, landing in the training grounds. Her presence stunned everyone.

"Are you Sect Leader Yun Yun?"

Xiao Zhan and Fang Yi hurried to the training grounds, their faces set with determination.

If Yun Yun had come to cause trouble for Xiao Yan, though they were no match for her, they would still...

"Teacher, it seems I'll have to break my promise to you."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists after Old Yao reminded him that Yun Yun had arrived at the edge of the square.

Old Yao sighed deeply from within the ring. "If I borrow your body to act, I can stop her."

A brilliant light burst from Xiao Yan's eyes at those words.

But the next moment, it was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

"But you have not yet become a Dou Zhe. If I act, your meridians will all rupture. Even if you survive, you will become completely crippled. Not even a Grade 8 Pill will be able to restore you," Old Yao said heavily.

Yet Xiao Yan smiled freely. "Then I'll just be a cripple. I've grown used to being mocked these past three years. Being an ordinary person wouldn't be so bad."

Old Yao's heart sank, and killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes.

If he had to act, then he would kill Yun Yun.

Then he would send away the more promising younger members of the Xiao Family, along with Xiao Zhan and Fang Yi—especially Chu Xiao.

With Chu Xiao around, there would still be a chance for revenge in the future!

"Old Ling, be prepared."

Xun Er came to one side of the square with her hands behind her back. She spoke calmly, a flicker of golden flame appearing in her eyes.

If Yun Yun dared lay a hand on anyone from the Xiao Family, then even if she had once had an ambiguous relationship with Brother Chu Xiao, she would still have to die today.

"Whoosh!"

Unaware that a sword hung over her head, Yun Yun nodded to Xiao Zhan and Fang Yi and said calmly, "Clan Leader Xiao Zhan, I have already heard about what happened when Yan Ran came to your clan to break off the engagement."

Clan Leader?

Your clan?

Those forms of address made many people relax inwardly.

This Dou Huang powerhouse did not seem to be here to make trouble.

"This..." Xiao Zhan opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.

Objectively speaking, there was nothing wrong with Nalan Yanran wanting to break off the engagement, but the way she handled it had been highly improper.

But even if he had the nerve to say that to Yun Yun, he still had to consider the entire Xiao Family.

He was truly bewildered that Yun Yun had come personally over this matter.

Had she cast aside the bearing of an expert and the broad-mindedness of a Dou Huang?

"Yan Ran acted improperly. I agree with that as well. The Gathering Qi Powder was compensation." Yun Yun continued, saying something that astonished everyone. "Since the three-year agreement has already been made, canceling it would also be inappropriate. I believe the two should simply have a private match when the time comes. There is no need for everyone to know about it."

"If Yan Ran wins, the matter will be written off from then on."

"If young friend Xiao Yan wins, Yan Ran will apologize to him publicly and provide the Xiao Family with appropriate compensation."

"What does Clan Leader Xiao Zhan think?"

What did he think?

Xiao Zhan felt as though he were dreaming.

He was completely convinced by Yun Yun's bearing and magnanimity.
