In the desolate desert, the wind and sand are constantly blowing, and the howling wind swirls in the sky, carrying a wisp of sand away into the distance.

Two figures, one horizontal and one vertical, walked (floated) at a leisurely pace.

On Xiao Yuan's forehead, a Seven-Colored Snake Seal was faintly visible.

To prevent Xiao Yuan from regaining his strength and slipping out of her control, Medusa unleashed her full power to set up the Serpent Sealing Technique.

This slowed down his recovery process considerably.

Xiao Yuan had some reservations about this.

But the alluring beauty turned a deaf ear, and when she got annoyed, she covered Xiao Yuan's mouth and nose with her hand.

A powerful Dou Zong expert almost suffocated from holding his breath.

This is outrageous!

But to be fair, the Queen's hands were also very smooth and had a strange, pleasant fragrance.

It smells somewhat like datura flowers, but milder.

Unfortunately, the Queen did not give Xiao Yuan the chance to hold her hand, which left Xiao Yuan somewhat disappointed.

The two had been traveling in this strange manner for two and a half days.

Not a single person saw it.

If it weren't for the two's formidable strength, and the fact that Xiao Yuan still had some water and food stored in his Storage Ring, they probably would have already panicked or even despaired.

After all, we were in an unfamiliar place, and no one knew when we would be able to leave.

However, Medusa was very familiar with the desert environment. After exploring around, she finally found a desert road this morning. If she followed the road, she would eventually be able to get out.

"There's a mountain ahead. It looks like we're almost out of there."

Medusa said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble."

Xiao Yuan nodded with a smile.

Although his Dou Qi was sealed, he was not flustered at all.

He himself also knows the Serpent Sealing Technique, so it's not difficult to break it.

But since the beauty wanted to play this way, Xiao Yuan was happy to cooperate, since with her strength, she could easily solve most problems.

If they really can't win, they will naturally break the seal and let you take action.

Xiao Yuan completely understood the sense of disappointment that the glamorous beauty felt.

In just three years, she fused with the soul of the Heaven Swallowing Python and advanced to the Dou Zong. But Xiao Yuan, that guy who has no martial ethics, went directly from Dou Shi to Dou Zong, and his combat power was even comparable to the Peak Dou Zong.

The powerful Your Majesty had a chance to stand up and vent her anger, only to find that she couldn't defeat the despicable Xiao Yuan.

Not to mention, Xiao Yuan was accompanied by Heavenly Flame Venerable and Yao Lao, a terrifying being whose soul form possessed the strength of Dou Zun.

But Xiao Yuan was right; Medusa did not actually have such a strong desire to kill him.

Even she herself couldn't figure out what her attitude towards Xiao Yuan was.

Over the years, she had watched Xiao Yuan grow up step by step. She did have some affection for this young man who had once boldly expressed his love, but at the same time, she was also dissatisfied with Xiao Yuan's womanizing ways.

Moreover, she didn't seem to mind Xiao Yuan's physical contact with her.

If it were anyone else, even if they got close to her, it wouldn't be possible. If they dared to look at her even once, she would slap them to death.

Anyway, it's very complicated. Before her evolution, when her mind was full of cultivation and protecting the Snake-People Tribe, the feelings between men and women were still too unfamiliar to her.

Medusa's mind was racing, and she seemed to be contemplating the meaning of life.

Xiao Yuan, who was recovering from his injuries and regaining his Dou Qi, did not disturb her thoughts.

Before they knew it, the two of them had finally arrived at the mountain peak they had mentioned earlier.

Medusa looked up and saw a rather precipitous mountain rising abruptly from the ground. In the center of the mountain was a huge crack, as if it had been cleaved open by brute force. The crack was about ten feet wide, forming a canyon.

"There's the scent of snakes here."

Medusa glanced around and said calmly.

"I am very weak now, Your Majesty, you must protect me."

Xiao Yuan lay in mid-air and shrugged.

"I'll show you what the pain of Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring Body is in a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Medusa snorted coldly and continued walking forward.

Xiao Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes closed slightly.

If anyone is to be devoured, it must be Her Majesty the Queen herself; if anyone else tries to harm him, they will likely suffer a terrible death.

"Snort!"

Seeing that Xiao Yuan was actually smiling, Medusa felt that she had been manipulated again.

The moment the annoying snort faded, the entire canyon trembled violently. Immediately, the trees on both sides of the canyon collapsed, and the faint traces of giant snakes could be seen.

"Bang!"

Giant shadows burst forth from both sides of the canyon, eventually blocking the entire path. Their ferocious maws hissed, flicking their pungent tongues, and their chilling eyes locked onto the two people in the center of the canyon.

At the same time, Medusa's alluring face also turned gloomy.

She had already used her Space Power, so why were they still so blind? Thinking about this, she became even more annoyed and immediately withdrew her Space Power.

"Hiss"

Xiao Yuan, who fell to the ground with a thud, aggravated his internal injuries, and his lips curled into a grin.

Looking at the giant snakes that completely blocked the road, Xiao Yuan's expression turned hostile. He had been in a good mood and wasn't planning to do anything to these small fry, but someone was just asking for trouble! As the road was blocked, rustling sounds came from the surrounding jungle, and then countless venomous snakes of different sizes and colors emerged, completely surrounding the convoy.

"Heh heh, such beauties actually think they can slip past Master Xia's nose?"

As the encirclement took shape, a strange laugh suddenly rang out in the sky, and then a dark green figure swiftly flew down from the top of the canyon, appearing above the two in a few breaths.

The figure looked quite strange. Although it had a human body and limbs, its skin was covered with dense, dark green scales. On its head was a ferocious snake head, and its small, vertical pupils stared at the two people below with a hint of lewdness.

Furthermore, behind this half-human, half-snake monster, there was a pair of dark green Douqi Wings, which, with a slight flap, stirred up a gust of wind that swept through the canyon.

Xia Mang looked down at the two women from his high position and suddenly lewdly said, "Why don't you two beauties stay and become my wives?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan, regaining his senses, frowned.

Has this idiot been kicked in the head by a donkey? Can't he tell the difference between men and women? "Don't think that just because you're dressed as a man, I can't tell you're a beauty!"

Seeing Xiao Yuan frown, the Demon Snake Xia Mang, who had misunderstood, laughed smugly.

"Believe it or not, I'll chop off your penis and stuff it in your mouth, then shove your head down your ass?"

Xiao Yuan dusted himself off and glared at the Demon Snake Xia Mang above, cursing angrily. At the same time, a slightly weakened Dou Wang aura appeared.

"Heh, you're putting on quite a show, but I can smell your fragrance from way out of here! You mere Dou Wang, you might as well surrender!"

The Demon Snake Xia Mang laughed loudly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan turned around and grabbed Medusa's arm.

"Go to hell!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan slapped out from a distance, his powerful soul force condensing to directly knock the flying Demon Snake Xia Mang down and slam it heavily onto the ground.

"Puff!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blackish blood. Azure Lightning flashed beneath his feet as he appeared beside the Demon Snake Xia Mang. With a standard soccer instep shot, he kicked Xia Mang in the head.

Boom! The Demon Snake Xia Mang turned into a black afterimage, was kicked away, and crashed into the mountain wall.

Xiao Yuan followed closely behind, relying on his abnormal physical strength to brutally attack the Demon Snake Xia Mang, while chanting incantations.

"A mere Dou Wang?"

"Want me to be your bandit queen?"

"You want my queen to come along too?"

"How dare you!"

"Do you think I'm completely powerless just because I don't get angry?"

"I finally get to spend some time alone with my queen, and you have to jump out and disgust me!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

Amidst the cursing and swearing, a terrifying sonic boom erupted. Xiao Yuan's terrifying physical strength, which was only slightly weaker than Zi Yan's, unleashed a dreadful gust of wind. Before long, the aura of the Demon Snake Xia Mang began to weaken.

The serpentine monsters below, seeing the handsome man who had previously seemed sickly now unleashing a frenzied attack like a mad beast, were terrified and turned to flee.

"We can't afford to mess with him, we really can't afford to mess with him!" Medusa watched Xiao Yuan's ferocious demeanor with great interest, a hint of a smile appearing in her bewitching eyes.

A moment later, Xiao Yuan, covered in dark green snake blood, stopped. Looking at the rotten flesh that had become a puddle of flesh plastered on the mountain wall, he still felt unsatisfied and threw out a ball of dark golden Heavenly Flames, which reduced it to ashes.

Unfortunately, the Magic Core of the Demon Snake Xia Mang was destroyed by the berserk Xiao Yuan.

Whew. That feels good, my mind is clear now! Xiao Yuan glanced at the group of venomous snakes scurrying away, and then looked at the Demon Snake Xia Mang, who was now just ashes. He finally felt much better.

But then, after a wave of dizziness, Xiao Yuan's vision went black, his body swayed, and he fell backward.

Hmm? Such a soft touch!

Before fainting, Xiao Yuan felt as if he had fallen into the arms of a beautiful woman, which made him feel quite comfortable.

It's good to feel dizzy!

"You show-off!"

Looking at Xiao Yuan in her arms, whose injuries had worsened due to the surge of qi and blood, Medusa shook her head and channeled a stream of Dou Qi to calm the turbulent qi and blood within Xiao Yuan's body.

She then continued to use her Space Power to carry Xiao Yuan on his journey.

The journey after passing through the Ten Thousand Snakes Gorge was quite smooth. Over the course of several days, apart from the occasional minor troubles, their speed was not slowed down.

After a period of rest and recuperation, Xiao Yuan's strength gradually recovered to about 70-80%. The injuries he suffered were also rapidly healing under the combined effects of his Dou Qi and the pills. Judging from this progress, he was likely to recover even sooner than Xiao Yuan had expected.

Finally, after Xiao Yuan's injuries had fully healed, the two arrived at a city called Tianbei City.

Because Medusa's face and figure were so striking, the two changed their clothes before entering the city.

The familiar, wide black robes completely concealed their figures.

When passing through the city gate, there was a check, but after Xiao Yuan displayed the aura of Dou Wang level, he was politely let through.

After entering Tianbei City, the two found an inn to stay in. Then, Xiao Yuan went out to gather some information.

He vaguely remembered that someone he knew had been here before.

Tianbei City, Han Clan.

Inside the Council Hall, the atmosphere was quite tense. Many Hong Clan stood with their arms crossed, sneering at the Han Clan members. At the head of the group was a man dressed in a blue robe. He was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. His face was not exactly handsome, but he had a certain charm. His brows revealed an undisguised arrogance, and he certainly had the capital to be so domineering.

"Hong Chen, you've gone too far by barging into my Han Clan today! Don't think that just because you're a disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, you can act with impunity. My Han Clan has stood strong in Tianbei City for so many years, not because we were trampled on!"

In the hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe spoke slowly. His tone was not loud, but it had an air of authority that did not require anger.

"Uncle Han, there's no need to threaten me. I've come today simply to ask if the conditions my Hong Clan raised a few days ago have been answered?"

The man in blue, known as Hong Chen, smiled nonchalantly, then his gaze suddenly shifted to the silver-haired woman beside him, whose pretty face remained completely expressionless, and he grinned.

"My Han Clan would never allow our daughter to marry someone she doesn't like! The Han Clan will never agree to the Hong Clan's demands!"

The middle-aged man said decisively.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then don't blame the Hong Clan for being ruthless!" Upon hearing this, Hong Chen's face darkened slightly, and he sneered.

"Even if my Han Clan is no match for your Hong Clan, if you want to devour my Han Clan, I dare say your Hong Clan will suffer severe damage!"

The middle-aged man stared at Hong Chen with a sinister gaze and spoke slowly.

Hong Chen sneered again, stood up, and said casually, "Perhaps Uncle Han doesn't know yet, but I am already a candidate for inner cabinet disciple of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion. It won't be long before I become a formal inner cabinet disciple."

Hong Chen's words were like a bombshell dropped into the hall. Not only did everyone's expression change drastically, but even Han Yue, who had always been expressionless, had her long eyelashes tremble slightly.

The middle-aged man's eyes grew increasingly gloomy, and beneath that gloom lay a hint of bitterness. Ever since Hong Chen joined the Wind and Thunder Pavilion a year ago, the Hong Clan had been using its power to their advantage, gaining considerable influence in Tianbei City. With Hong Chen's talent and the resources of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, it was indeed very likely that he would become an inner disciple of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion!

In this way, his influence within the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion will definitely increase significantly, and the Hong Clan's influence will rise even further!

"By then, one Han Yue won't be enough; I'll also want Han Xue to marry me!"

A hint of covetousness flashed in Hong Chen's eyes.

He had been coveting the two beautiful sisters of the Han Clan for a long time!
