You Don't Want to Drink Your Big Sister's Bathwater?

Above the clear sky, a huge sun hung high in the sky, its scorching rays shining on the golden desert, baking the tiny grains of sand until they were as hot as red-hot iron pellets.

In the desert, due to the intense heat, wisps of hot air seep out from the yellow sand, eventually evaporating the space into a somewhat distorted and illusory state.

In the endless desert, two figures suddenly appeared slowly. Judging from their travel-worn faces, they had obviously been in the desert for a long time.

A moment later, the two walked up a towering sand dune, looked around, and then the man on the left took out a sheepskin map from his Storage Ring and carefully examined the most accurate route.

"Looking at the route here, it seems we're getting close to the depths of the Tagor Desert."

Xiao Yuan slowly moved his finger along a path, licked his dry lips, and spoke in a slightly low voice to Xiao Yan beside him.

"Ugh, this damn Tagor Desert is just too big... It took us a whole month to get here from Shi Mo City. If it weren't for Hai Lao's map showing the exact desert supply stations, we would have been in serious trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed and smiled wryly, finding a bittersweet humor in his words.

After leaving Shi Mo City, the two followed the route on the map and headed deep into the Tagor Desert. Because the weather in the desert was extremely unpredictable, the two traveled on foot, cultivating as they went.

In the Tagor Desert, besides the magical beasts hidden in the sand, the most feared creatures are the Snake-People. Few in the desert are willing to be their enemies, as their ability to manipulate venomous snakes for sneak attacks is truly difficult to defend against.

However, these Snake-People, who would be a huge problem for ordinary people, posed no trouble at all for the Xiao brothers, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, who had accurate maps and the help of Yao Lao's powerful soul perception. Before each danger arrived, the two were able to avoid the Snake-People Tribe and some patrol teams in advance.

Of course, there were also instances where they encountered Snake-People by accident. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan did not hold back in these situations. Instead, they used swift and decisive methods to kill the snake people before they could even raise an alarm. After all, being surrounded and killed by a large number of Snake-People in the Tagor Desert would be an extremely troublesome situation.

In addition, they also needed to cultivate along the way, so their progress was not fast. It took them a full month to get close to the depths of the Tagor Desert.

Currently, the two are located near one of the Eight Great Tribes of the Snake-People Tribe, which is basically guarded by at least a Dou Ling expert, or even Dou Wang expert. With Xiao Yan's abilities, it would be difficult for him to sneak over there unnoticed.

Xiao Yuan was confident that he wouldn't be discovered by the Snake-People Tribe after concealing his aura, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't encounter patrol teams. Once he made a move, his aura would definitely be exposed.

Therefore, they had no choice but to avoid this powerful tribe in front of them, otherwise, if they encountered a Dou Wang- level expert, they would be in big trouble.

After all, although Yao Lao was powerful, it was not easy for one person to protect two people. If they were entangled by the Snake-People Tribe, it would also be a very troublesome matter. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan would not be foolish enough to think that with Yao Lao's protection, they could do whatever they wanted with the Snake-People Tribe.

However, they need to replenish their water supply one last time. After all, if they go deeper into the desert, the oases with water sources are basically controlled by the Snake-People Tribe, so they can hardly rely on them.

Xiao Yuan's gaze swept across the map, finally settling on the marker of the nearest oasis.

"Hmm, this place seems a bit too close to that Snake-People Tribe..."

Looking at the oasis sign, and then glancing at the crimson dot almost next to it, representing the Eight Great Tribes Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown.

"There's no other way. This is the only oasis within a hundred miles. Going there is risky, but it's not worth taking such a long detour just for water! Besides, the places that look adjacent on the map are actually quite far apart. If something goes wrong, we'll have time to escape."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head and analyzed in a deep voice.

"Yes, that's true!"

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then continued to walk forward with Xiao Yuan, facing the yellow sand and with his back to the sky.

As Xiao Yuan expected, what seemed like a short trip took the two of them nearly three hours. It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened and the temperature began to drop that the lush greenery of the oasis was finally revealed.

As they entered the oasis, the sweltering air cooled down. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan released their soul perception abilities and explored the surroundings before leaping into the lush forest with peace of mind.

To be honest, life in the desert is not easy. All you see every day is yellow sand. If it weren't for the ability to cultivate and distract yourself, just walking in this monotonous desert for a month would drive you crazy with boredom.

As expected, Xiao Yuan broke through to the Seven-Star Dou Master half a month ago, while Xiao Yan broke through to the Three-Star level yesterday.

The targeted training plan devised by the two disciples of the Yao Lao has yielded quite gratifying results.

Xiao Yan's body was smeared with Burning Blood.

Xiao Yuan's body was covered in Burning Balm.

Burning Balm is an enhanced version of Burning Blood. It can not only accelerate the cultivation speed of Fire Attribute Douqi, but also accelerate the cultivation speed of earth-attribute Dou Qi.

However, this is something that Xiao Yuan can use. A person's Dou Qi can have multiple different attributes. In the Douqi Continent, this is a unique phenomenon.

"Splash splash".

Just as Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were walking in the forest, searching for a water source, a sound of splashing water rang out.

Hearing the sound of water, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The heat in his heart gradually dissipated with the crisp sound of water. However, just as he was about to rush out of the jungle, Xiao Yuan pressed him to the ground.

"Shh!"

After pinning Xiao Yan down, Xiao Yuan put his index finger to his lips and said silently.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan pointed to the end of a path beyond the bushes ahead.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan looked over and was horrified to find that several slender snake women stood motionless with cold and fierce expressions. Their sharp eyes, like those of hawks, constantly swept across the surrounding jungle. They gripped their weapons tightly, seemingly ready to kill any intruders at any moment.

Although these snake women had slightly dark skin, their looks and figures were above average. However, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan couldn't appreciate their beautiful figures at all.

Because they sensed that among these snake women, there were actually four Da Dou Shi, and the rest were all Dou Shi of five stars or above.

The two exchanged a glance and both noticed the helplessness in each other's eyes.

With this lineup, there's no way to secretly wipe them out.

Xiao Yuan's mood was even worse.

If things go as expected, then the water in this water source is probably no longer safe to drink.

So, Xiao Yuan raised his hand and gently pressed it on Xiao Yan's shoulder, exerting a little force, and then made a gesture indicating that if things went wrong, they should retreat immediately.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, but seeing the determination on his brother's face, he realized that something was wrong. He nodded and then followed Xiao Yuan, quietly retreating away.

However, shortly after the two left, a small snake swam out of the nearby bushes and into the water.

"Laugh!"

With a soft splash, a curvaceous woman emerged from the lake, tossing her long hair as water droplets splashed onto the surface, creating ripples.

Then, her long hair clung to her snow-white shoulders, and drops of water clung to her delicate skin, before sliding down her shoulders, across her alluring waist, and into the clear lake of her body.

Below the water's surface, a faint blue snake tail could be seen swaying back and forth; clearly, this was a Snake-People.

At this moment, she held a small green snake in her palm. After a moment, the snake turned into energy and dissipated. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's previous actions appeared in her mind, and an alluring smile appeared on her charming face.

Her eyes, as clear as spring water, were fixed on the direction Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan had left in. She murmured to herself with interest, "They're so alert. Those two little human creatures must have come to fetch water, right? Heh, they're quite good-looking!"

"Brother? What's wrong?"

After leaving the oasis, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan with a puzzled expression and asked.

"I sensed a powerful aura in the lake just now, probably from a Dou Wang. I estimate that the team led by the four Da Dou Shi are her subordinates."

Xiao Yuan sighed and said helplessly.

"Dou Wang!?"

Xiao Yan was startled upon hearing this. He glanced at the oasis with lingering fear, then said with some distress, "What should we do? We don't have much water left."

"If all else fails, I'll just use my Water Attribute Douqi. It'll just take a bit of effort. I can't really go head-to-head with that Dou Wang expert, can I?"

Xiao Yuan shrugged helplessly upon hearing this.

I thought that since I arrived earlier than the original timeline, I wouldn't run into Yue Mei, but I still did.

Honestly, he didn't want to drink Yue Mei's bathwater.

The next moment, a charming yet slightly cold and murderous laugh suddenly rang out above the two of them, "You two little ones are quite clever, but how come so many people would love to drink my bathwater, and you left without even looking back? I'm very disappointed!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's expressions changed. Looking up, they saw a full moon hanging high in the sky, and a beautiful figure in black robes with a pair of energy wings on her back was smiling at the two brothers.

Damn it! Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were stunned. They had run out in advance, but they were still discovered.

This really is a "teacher!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately called out in his mind.

However, the only response he received was Yao Lao Xiao Yan's deafening silence.

"Damn, this is Dou Wang! Even if he's training me, is it really necessary to train me like this?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Hello, sister. We're just passing by and wanted to find some water to drink. We're not fortunate enough to have the water in the lakes of that oasis. Goodbye!"

Xiao Yuan grabbed Xiao Yan, and his figure immediately turned into a blur and disappeared, leaving only a wisp of black mist.

?

Seeing Xiao Yuan run away so quickly, Yue Mei was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and chased after him, smiling charmingly, "You two little ones, why don't you come with your sister to the tribe for a visit? Don't you humans love to take us snake women as slaves? Well then, I'll take you as my slaves too, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head, his face full of resistance.

Even if he were to become Star Wrath, he should be chosen by Medusa. What level is Yue Mei at? You want to drag him back to be Star Wrath's power?

"No, and you have no right to call me 'sister' all the time!"

Xiao Yuan responded coldly as he ran away.

Tonight, either he'll run into Yun Yun, or Yao Lao intervene. In any case, he has powerful backers, so as long as he runs as fast as he can, he's unlikely to be in any danger.

As for Xiao Yan, given Xiao Yuan's physical condition, as long as Xiao Yan puts away the Mystic Heavy Ruler, Xiao Yuan would consider Xiao Yan's weight negligible.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiao Yan, whom he was carrying, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'm not qualified? This little guy's got a tough tongue, but I wonder if he'll still be so stubborn once he's in my hands!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's response, Yue Mei's pretty face turned cold. She suddenly reached out with her slender hand, and five streams of dark blue energy shot out. As they intertwined, they finally condensed into five enormous blue energy snakes.

The energy serpent broke through the air barrier with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived behind Xiao Yuan. Immediately, it opened its huge mouth full of fangs and fiercely bit at his back.

Xiao Yuan felt a fierce gust of wind behind him, and his expression darkened slightly. As his Dou Qi circulated, his Purple Cloud Wings shot out, and his figure suddenly rose higher, dodging the five huge energy green snakes.

"Hmm? Douqi Transformation Wings? No, it's Flying Dou Technique? Little guy, you're quite lucky to have something like this. I'm getting more and more interested in you."

Yue Mei was quite surprised to see the Purple Cloud Wings on Xiao Yuan's back, but she quickly reacted. With a wave of her hand, five huge energy green snakes reappeared and slammed into Xiao Yuan's back like lightning.

However, a gust of wind swept by, and the five energy snakes passed directly through Xiao Yuan's body.

Clearly, this was an afterimage.

"Farewell!"

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, his figure began to float away like a flying catkin, and in a few flashes, he had already reached hundreds of meters away.

Such speed! It seems to be some kind of high-level Dou Technique. I'm going to have an unexpected gain today!

A hint of surprise flashed in Yue Mei's eyes. Xiao Yuan's speed just now, coupled with the Flying Dou Technique of the Purple Cloud Wings, even though he was only a Dou Shi, was enough to keep him alive even if he was below the Dou Wang.

"However, I am Dou Wang!"

As a soft laugh rang out, the enormous energy wings on Yue Mei's back flapped, and the next moment, her figure vanished from the spot.
