"At the time, I definitely thought the spot Chu Xiao chose was safe." Yun Yun's ears reddened as she stubbornly explained herself.

Ya Fei snorted with laughter and nodded. "A woman dresses to please the one who appreciates her. I understand, Sister."

Yun Yun:!

She just liked being clean. It was not because she wanted to look pretty in front of Chu Xiao.

She had been powerless back then. How could she have had the mind for such frivolous things?

After I was injured, Little Yun Er ended up taking care of me. As the sole direct disciple of the former sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, she had grown up living no worse than a princess of the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family. It was her first time taking care of someone. Even something as simple as grilling fish tasted awful, yet she stubbornly forced herself to eat it to save face—and made me eat it too.

"Hmph, serves you right."

Inside a secret chamber beneath one of the Xiao Family's residences, Xun Er opened her eyes, gloating.

You deserved to suffer a little for fooling around outside.

At the Mittel Auction House, unable to endure Ya Fei's gaze any longer, Yun Yun argued, "It was my first time grilling fish for someone, and he was injured. Isn't it normal not to waste food?"

Once she had time, she would immediately learn how to do it. Then she would amaze Chu Xiao!

That forcing led to a problem. While grilling the fish, she had not taken the right seasoning from my Storage Ring. Instead, she took out a bottle of aphrodisiac.

The Women:!!!

Is this really something we can watch without paying?

"Aphrodisiac." Cao Ying's big eyes widened as she stared at the Diary expectantly, her legs unconsciously pressing together.

Is the climax finally coming!?

"Heh, just as expected, he's no good person." Feng Qing Er curled her lips.

What decent person carried aphrodisiacs around with them?

"Could the accident between this queen and him have happened because of that?" Medusa shifted her posture, her gaze deep and grave.

Yun Yun's body swayed, and blood rushed into her delicate face.

She had actually sprinkled aphrodisiac over the grilled fish and forced herself and Chu Xiao to eat it.

At the time, she could not use Dou Qi. Wouldn't that mean...

So that was how our ambiguous relationship began!?

This aphrodisiac had been given to me by Little Yan Zi. After he first learned alchemy, he had been unable to suppress his curiosity as a man and refined some, then gave me a bottle. As a proper man, I was also rather curious about such things, so I casually stored it in my Storage Ring as a memento. Who knew Little Yun Er would...

The Women:!

We weren't interested in where the aphrodisiac came from.

We were interested in what happened after they took it. Write faster!

"Xiao Yan!" Xun Er clenched her small fists.

It was that bastard's fault again. He had even added another confidante to Brother Chu Xiao's side.

He already had a path to getting beaten!

Fortunately, my Soul Power was strong, and the pain in my body helped keep me calm. But Little Yun Er could not endure it, so I had no choice but to knock her out and throw her into the cold spring inside the cave to cool down. The process was quite suggestive, so there was no need to mention it. In the end, nothing happened between us as man and woman; I merely saw her body naked.

Smack!

Cao Ying slapped the bed.

What did he mean, there was no need to mention it!?

He should have mentioned it thoroughly!

What was there that I, the noble holder of a Diary Copy, could not see!?

"Phew!" Yun Yun let out a breath of relief.

If she had truly lost her virginity like that, she would not have been angry, but she would still have regretted it.

Learning that he had merely seen her naked made her feel extremely shy as well, but she could barely persuade herself to accept it.

After all, it had been an accident, and Chu Xiao had saved her life.

After such a special experience, our place in each other's hearts became different. During the days we spent together afterward, we also confirmed our feelings for each other. But we both knew that, given our identities, we were not suited to be together for now. After I helped her obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal, she left me her close-fitting inner armor and a Profound-Grade wind-attribute cultivation method and Dou Skill before departing.

Seeing this, Yun Yun secretly nodded. That really was something she would have done.

As the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, she had received so many resources and so much support ever since childhood.

As Yun Zhi, she could be with a mere Dou Master. But as Yun Yun, sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, she absolutely could not!

No matter how much she liked him, reason would make her leave. Then she would quietly wait for the man to grow stronger, or for herself to break through to Dou Zong and completely disregard such matters.

After Little Yun Er left the Demon Beast Mountain Range, I found Little Yan Zi again. We continued cultivating in seclusion together, mastering the Earth-Grade Low-Level Dou Skill Old Yao had taught us.

Nearly a year later, after both of our cultivations had broken through, we left the Demon Beast Mountain Range and headed to the Tagor Desert to seek information about Heavenly Flames.

Many things happened during that time. One of the most important was meeting Qing Lin in the mercenary group my eldest and second brothers had established in Stone Desert City.

It was truly laughable. There were descendants born between the Snake-People Tribe and humans. In most cases, the ones at fault were male Snake-People or humans, while the women were victims, and the children were even more innocent. Yet both Snake-People and humans regarded them as a disgrace. Not abusing them was already considered tremendous mercy.

Seeing how pitiful she was, I took her in as my maid, intending to give her a peaceful life.

"Young Master Chu Xiao!" Qing Lin's eyes were filled with emotion.

This man was her salvation.

Good people were rewarded. Qing Lin awakened her talent and made a tremendous contribution to helping Little Yan Zi and me find the Heavenly Flame.

"Her talent... does that mean the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?" Medusa rested her cheek on one hand, light flickering through her narrow eyes.

What contribution could the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils make in finding a Heavenly Flame?

Most likely, Qing Lin sensed its aura after she took away the Green Lotus Core Flame.

However, by the time Little Yan Zi and I found the place, we discovered that someone had already beaten us to the Green Lotus Core Flame. We were one step too late.

At this moment, I wonder whether Cai Lin has found the Green Lotus Core Flame yet. In the original timeline, she only brought it to the Snake-People Tribe's sacred grounds two years from now.

If I go there in a few days and refine it first, it will not affect her plans.

Snake-People Tribe?

The Women holding Diary Copies stirred at those words.

So this woman named Cai Lin, Chu Xiao's second empress, was actually one of the Snake-People?

"Wait!"

Ya Fei's expression abruptly changed, disbelief in her voice. "This Cai Lin... isn't she Queen Medusa!?"

"No way!?" Yun Yun exclaimed. "That is Medusa, the infamous peak Dou Emperor."

"Why not?" Ya Fei's peach-blossom eyes curved as she looked Yun Yun up and down. "You, the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect and a Dou Emperor, still couldn't resist getting involved with a mere Dou Master—"

Ya Fei did not say the rest. Yun Yun formed a sword with her fingers and placed it against Ya Fei's throat.

"Say those two words again and guess whether I'll stab you."

Ya Fei: I'm ninety-nine percent sure you wouldn't dare, but I can't afford to gamble!

"I mean, it must be Queen Medusa." Ya Fei swiftly changed the subject. "Would an ordinary person have the strength to find the Green Lotus Core Flame and bring it back to the Snake-People Tribe?"

Ya Fei's cultivation talent was lacking, but she possessed a special instinct for judging people and things, along with an exceptional memory. She had a Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart and was skilled at making use of her strengths. Whenever she had spare time, she read all kinds of books to expand her knowledge.

She remembered that the Snake-People Tribe's bloodline was cold in nature and feared heat. That was why the major human nations had joined forces to suppress them in the depths of the scorching Tagor Desert, restricting their development.

Therefore, the Snake-People Tribe should fear the power of Heavenly Flames the most. Being able to take away the Green Lotus Core Flame already proved how strong she was.

"To make Queen Medusa bear him a daughter... impressive. Truly impressive." Yun Yun's tone was strange.

Clearly, she was a little jealous.

Getting involved with you is pretty impressive too, Ya Fei thought.

But after touching her neck, she decided not to tease Yun Yun for the moment.

"Still, for little brother Chu Xiao to subdue Queen Medusa... he's truly ruthless."
