Snake Woman Yue Mei

In the clear lake, a Snake Woman with an exceptionally voluptuous figure emerged from the water. With her back to Liu Xi, she shook out her long hair.

Her silky black hair spread through the air like a peacock fanning its tail, the droplets flung from it sparkling crystal-clear above the lake. As her hair fell loose, it clung tightly to her snow-white back.

Drops of water slowly trickled down her delicate, flawless skin, sliding over her fragrant shoulders and across her alluringly slender waist before finally falling into the lake, sending ripples spreading outward.

Liu Xi was actually hidden behind a large tree by the lake. However, the Illusory Heart Technique he had obtained was an Illusion Technique that manipulated the five senses through Spiritual Power. At that moment, Liu Xi used the Illusory Heart Technique to completely blind the Snake Women's sight and hearing, rendering himself unseen and his words unheard. Thus, he concealed his presence—and while hiding behind the tree, Liu Xi unexpectedly witnessed this fragrant live spectacle.

Yet Liu Xi had overlooked one thing. As the Snake Woman gathered her long hair with her slender hand and slowly turned around, her gaze was drawn to a pile of green clothes casually left on the opposite shore of the lake.

Her eyes immediately narrowed. With a coquettish laugh, she called out to her Snake People guards, "Hehe, Yue Xing!"

At the call, a cold-faced, sharp-eyed Da Dou Shi stepped out from among the Snake People guards. She hurried to the lakeshore and bowed respectfully. "Lady Yue Mei, what are your orders?"

Yue Mei clasped her hands together, scooped up some clear water, and poured it over herself. Then she lifted her exquisite chin toward the other pile of green clothes on the shore before slowly saying, "It seems there were other 'guests' in my lake today. They should be hiding somewhere. Find her for me!"

After respectfully accepting the order, the Snake People guard named Yue Xing flashed a vicious look in her eyes. She then returned to the other guards, and after exchanging a few brief words, they scattered in all directions to search for traces of Liu Xi and Qing Lin.

When Qing Lin saw that the clothes she had taken off to bathe had exposed their whereabouts, she watched the Female Snake People begin searching everywhere for them. Her eyes reddened with anxiety as she said to Liu Xi in a tearful voice, "Young Master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to bathe, they wouldn't have found us."

Liu Xi remained unruffled. He gently comforted the anxious Qing Lin, saying, "It's fine. They won't find us. I was the one who failed to notice that they were heading toward the oasis. It has nothing to do with you!"

And that was indeed the case. When a Da Dou Shi-level Snake Person passed not far from Liu Xi and Qing Lin, she merely glanced in their direction before looking away, noticing nothing unusual.

Only then did Qing Lin breathe a sigh of relief. Good thing they didn't find us. Ling Shuang said that Snake Woman bathing over there is a genuine Dou Wang, one rank higher than it is. It would be bad if she discovered us and dragged Young Master into this!

After searching for roughly ten minutes, Yue Mei's Snake People guards gathered together again. Their expressions were all grim. They had found no trace of anyone, as though the person had vanished into thin air.

In the end, Yue Xing, the captain of the guards, approached Yue Mei with a guilty expression to apologize. Lowering her head, she said, "My apologies, Lady Yue Mei. We found nothing."

Upon hearing that, Yue Mei gave a cold snort and cursed, "Useless trash! Hmph, she didn't even have time to put on her clothes. Let's see where she can run off to today!"

Yue Mei immediately formed a hand seal. The power of a mid-level Dou Wang erupted from her as she shouted, "Ten Thousand Snakes Descend!"

Countless tiny, brilliantly colored snakes seemingly formed from pure energy appeared out of thin air over the previously clear surface of the lake.

A cold gleam flashed through Yue Mei's eyes as she shouted again, "Go! Find her for me!"

The snakes scattered in groups in every direction, their dense masses quickly filling the oasis.

Seeing the snakes filling the sky, Liu Xi was speechless. What kind of grudge is this?! I only took a bath in this lake! This oasis isn't your personal property—do you really have to be so relentless?! Do you think I'm hiding because I'm afraid of you?!

Liu Xi was using an Illusion Technique, not spatial arts. With so many tiny snakes swarming over, they would eventually notice something unusual. Besides, even a clay figurine had a temper, much less Liu Xi, who possessed such pride.

Fine, no more hiding it. I'll lay it all out. Today, I'm definitely going to teach you a proper lesson. As for what happens afterward, I'll worry about it afterward!

Liu Xi first instructed Qing Lin to protect herself and ordered Ling Shuang not to leave her side. Then, under Qing Lin's worried gaze, he smiled confidently and said, "Even if we're both Dou Wangs, your Young Master is still the strongest."

Liu Xi immediately connected with the Spirit Gathering within his body. The Green Lotus Core Flame surged out in an instant, and Green Flame appeared around him. As it spun continuously with Liu Xi's movements, it transformed into a fiery vortex that burned every tiny snake rushing toward him into ash.

However, the moment the Green Lotus Core Flame appeared, Liu Xi could no longer conceal himself. He then slowly strolled out of the flames and calmly said to Yue Mei, who had been staring gravely at the blazing Green Flame ever since it appeared, "Why go to all this trouble? You could've just left after bathing. Did you really have to force me out so you could get beaten up?"

As Yue Mei looked at the handsome long-haired young man emerging from the terrifying Green Flame, as well as the petite girl behind him who was obviously wearing an oversized Sky Blue Robe, her expression shifted repeatedly.

The scene fell silent for a moment. Then Yue Mei suddenly teased, "I was wondering which little slut dared sneak into the oasis I occupied and bathe here while I was away. So it's a handsome little human. How about it, handsome? Would you like to visit Older Sister's tribe?"

Liu Xi felt no warmth whatsoever toward Yue Mei's sudden enthusiasm. He sneered, "You think you might not be able to handle me alone, so you want to lure me into your territory, where you'll have three hundred axemen lying in ambush. Then, at a single command from you, they'll all rush out and chop me into mincemeat?"

Yue Mei was not angered by his words. Her eyes remained full of seduction as she said, "How could that be? We of the Snake People Race are the most hospitable of all, especially toward handsome humans like you. Those little sluts in Older Sister's tribe will definitely serve you to your heart's content. They're far more flavorful than that little girl behind you!"

Liu Xi gave her a teasing look. "I have heard that the Snake People Race is exceptionally gifted in certain respects, even surpassing ordinary human women. But I'm not interested in ordinary Snake Women. How about you serve me instead? Then I'll go have a look."

When Yue Mei heard that Liu Xi wanted her to serve him, a flash of killing intent flickered through her narrowed pupils, but she swiftly concealed it. Rising from the lake, she displayed her snow-white, voluptuous body before Liu Xi without reservation. Her moist eyes brimmed with bright springtime allure as she spoke seductively, her breath fragrant as orchids. "Is that so? That isn't impossible."

Hearing this, Liu Xi became even more wary of the woman. His right hand discreetly moved behind his back as he feigned delight. "Sure. Then I'll go take a look."

When Yue Mei heard Liu Xi agree, the seduction on her face became even more intense. Her Snake Tail swayed as she approached him, her imposing "Pectoral Muscles" bobbing from side to side with every movement, exceedingly mischievous.

"Alright. Older Sister will make you feel so good today that you'll die from pleasure."

As soon as her words fell, Yue Mei had already reached Liu Xi. All her springtime allure and seduction transformed into intense killing intent.

"Die! Coiling Snake Hand!"

Terrifying Dou Qi extended from Yue Mei's right hand, transforming into the body of an energy snake. Its head was savage and horrifying, its stench overwhelming. One look was enough to tell that it was filled with deadly venom as it lunged straight for Liu Xi's throat.

But Liu Xi would not simply wait to die. His right hand, which had been hidden behind his back, carried scorching energy as he struck his palm toward the biting snake maw.

"Blowing Fire Palm!"

"Hiss, hiss." Flames and poisonous gas collided, sending up waves of white smoke carrying a foul stench. In terms of sheer quantity, Yue Mei, as a mid-level Dou Wang, naturally held the advantage. But in terms of quality, Liu Xi's Heavenly Flames were enough to burn Yue Mei's snake venom into nothingness.

With her sneak attack having failed, Yue Mei could only retreat helplessly. Not only had her plan to numb him with a surprise attack failed, but Liu Xi had also seen her naked. Yue Mei was so furious that she nearly ground all her silver teeth to pieces.
