What Reason Does This King Have to Stay by Your Side?

Thunderclouds gathered over Tianbei City, and thunder roared.

The enormous lightning array blotted out the sky. At the very center of the array, on the ground, the giant fist of lightning, filled with violent lightning power, was shrinking little by little. Moreover, the speed of shrinking was getting faster and faster. At first, it was only shrinking inch by inch, but later it shrank by feet and feet. In an instant, it completely entered the dazzling figure covered by silver lightning.

At the same time, the aura emanating from the shimmering silver figure became increasingly terrifying.

Upon seeing this, the three elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion immediately retreated. Although they didn't know what Xiao Yuan had done, even a fool could sense that the kid was in terrifying condition! However, their Dou Qi was almost completely depleted. Although they had taken pills to restore their Dou Qi, refining the pills would still take some time.

After all, they didn't possess a rare and wondrous object like Heavenly Flames, which could maximize the refining speed of pills.

The shimmering silver figure slowly raised its head, its silver eyes, flashing with lightning, filled with indifference.

"Is this... the Demon Lightning Body?"

Xiao Yuan slowly clenched his fist, and the silver light on his body gradually receded into his body. However, silver lightning patterns appeared on the surface of his skin. These patterns covered his entire body, forming mysterious designs on his chest and back, which looked quite mysterious.

Deeper still, Xiao Yuan could clearly feel the explosive power within his body.

In terms of strength, his current physique is probably only comparable to that of Zi Yan after she reaches the seventh level.

However, in terms of overall physical fitness, she is naturally inferior to Zi Yan, after all, that little girl's true form is the supreme demonic beast, the Ancient Void Dragon, possessing the most powerful physical body.

However, as a High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique, the Demon Lightning Body has far more uses than that.

In addition to the most obvious improvement in physical strength, Xiao Yuan's resistance to lightning energy has also greatly increased, and he has also gained some affinity for lightning energy.

Furthermore, the power or effect of the lightning-attribute Dou Technique he uses will be significantly enhanced.

For example, Xiao Yuan watched the three figures retreat rapidly and took a step forward.

Azure and silver lightning flashed beneath his feet, and Xiao Yuan's figure blurred as three figures appeared simultaneously in front of the three elders. His lightning-studded fists slammed directly into their faces.

Boom! Three aged figures collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood, their eyes gradually losing their light.

But Xiao Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with them. He immediately reached out and grabbed their souls, which surged forth with immense spiritual power. He then skillfully stuffed their souls into the jade bottle and put away their bodies and Storage Ring.

"The three elders are dead!"

In the sky, the Dou Huang expert of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion muttered to himself in disbelief, as if trying to convince himself to accept the truth.

However, since they were already there, Xiao Yuan had no intention of letting them leave.

"Heavenly Lightning Movement! "Xiao Yuan shouted in his heart, and his body was immediately enveloped in silver light. The next moment, Xiao Yuan transformed into silver heavenly thunder and rushed into the sky.

Swoosh! The next moment, to everyone's astonishment and disbelief, the heavenly lightning that Xiao Yuan had transformed into flashed through the crowd of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion at an extremely fast speed. A moment later, the bodies of twenty-three Dou Emperor and forty-six Dou Wang expert trembled, and then they all exploded, turning into a sky full of blood mist! Looking at the sky full of blood mist, the people in Tianbei City couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, clearly stunned by Xiao Yuan's ruthless methods.

"Even the Three Great Elders of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion, working together to set up the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Array, couldn't trap Xiao Yuan. That's terrifying."

"By his own strength, he fought against the Three Great Elders of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion and many other powerful figures in the pavilion, and finally killed them all. Xiao Yuan's name will surely spread throughout the Northern Region in just a few days."

"Haha, this was truly exhilarating! This trip was definitely worthwhile. This intense battle is the most I have ever witnessed in my life. Among the younger generation, Xiao Yuan is probably a formidable opponent."

"It is said that there is a Miss Feng in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, whose talent for cultivation is extraordinary. She is a candidate for the next leader of the East Pavilion. I wonder if Xiao Yuan can stand up to her if she makes a move?"

"Hehe, among the younger generation in Central State, where can you find such a ruthless person? Let alone Miss Feng, even if the Pavilion Master of the North Pavilion, Fei Tian, were to come in person, I'm afraid he would have a hard time getting any advantage from Xiao Yuan!"

"."

As the powerful figures of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion fell, the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Array in the sky also dissipated, and many discussions arose in the city. Xiao Yuan's figure then appeared in front of the Han Clan.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yuan's upper body clothing had been ravaged by the lightning, leaving only some charred strips of cloth, tied by a belt and hanging around his waist. His inverted triangle figure and strong, perfectly shaped muscles made many Han Clan unable to look away.

Han Yue was also momentarily lost in thought, and her pretty face flushed slightly as she looked at Xiao Yuan's strong physique.

Han Xue covered her eyes, seemingly embarrassed to look, but behind those slightly parted fingers were a pair of bright eyes.

"I never expected that young friend Xiao Yuan's strength would be so terrifying. In my opinion, even Peak Dou Zong expert might not be your match." An old voice suddenly rang out, and then an old man appeared beside Han Chi, cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuan and said, "I am Han Fei."

"I have met Mr. Han."

Xiao Yuan cupped his hands in return.

"Well, leave this to us. You young people have a lot to talk about, so have a good chat."

Han Fei nodded with a smile, his gaze sweeping over his two great-granddaughters.

With his experience, he could naturally tell that both girls probably had their eyes on Xiao Yuan.

He had been secretly watching what was happening these past few days, but unfortunately Xiao Yuan was too strong, giving him no chance to make a move.

But he knew how to make Xiao Yuan feel more favorably toward the Han Clan.

"Well, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Han and Uncle Han."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, then led the two sisters, Han Yue and Han Xue, towards the courtyard where he was resting.

"Han Chi, send someone to tidy up this place, then come find me."

Han Fei glanced at the chaotic surroundings left by the battle, gave an order, and then disappeared.

Upon hearing this, Han Chi immediately arranged for people to clean up the mess, and then went to Han Fei's secluded place.

The secret conversation between the two could not escape Xiao Yuan's notice, but Xiao Yuan didn't care much.

Because the two sisters, Han Yue and Han Xue, were each holding one of his arms. The older sister didn't say much, but her eyes kept wandering over him, and her pretty face gradually turned red. The younger sister, on the other hand, was like a lark, chirping incessantly in his ear.

"Brother-in-law, how are you so amazing? How did you cultivate?"

"Brother-in-law, you were so cool just now! You defeated three Dou Zong experts all by yourself!"

"Brother-in-law, you have such a great body, can I touch it?"

"Brother-in-law."

"You little rascal, you're quite the chatterbox!"

Xiao Yuan reached out and gently rubbed Han Xue's head, speaking with a warm smile.

"Brother-in-law, touching your head will stunt your growth!"

Han Xue shook her head, dodging Xiao Yuan's clutches, and pouted as she spoke.

"Hehe, it's alright, I do have some pills here that can help people grow taller."

Xiao Yuan said with a mysterious smile.

"Really? I want it! I want it!"

Upon hearing this, Han Xue's eyes gleamed with longing. She hugged Xiao Yuan's arm tightly, and the softness of her chest made Xiao Yuan feel incredibly comfortable.

"But it only works on monsters."

Xiao Yuan finished speaking the second half of his sentence.

"Ah?"

Han Xue was taken aback when she heard this, but then realized that Xiao Yuan was just teasing a child, so she immediately reached out and patted Xiao Yuan's chest.

"Brother-in-law, you're so naughty!"

Immediately afterwards, Han Xue's face turned red; that slap just now felt really good.

"Alright, stop teasing Xue Er."

Han Yue said with a hint of helplessness.

It was obvious that her younger sister had really taken a liking to Xiao Yuan, her brother-in-law; otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so intimately with him.

Just as she herself said, she and her sister Xue Er were going to marry the same person eventually, but fortunately, they both liked this person very much.

"Oh, is the senior jealous?"

Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.

Han Yue rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuan upon hearing this, and then said, "Am I such a petty person? You bastard, how dare you slander me!"

As she spoke, Han Yue also punched Xiao Yuan in the chest.

Hmm, it feels really good.

Han Yue couldn't even imagine how intense it would be when that massive body pressed down on her, rising and falling. Her thoughts raced, completely veerging off course.

Xiao Yuan had no idea what inappropriate things Han Yue was thinking; he was actually quite eager to take the opportunity to cultivate.

Just now, when he was cultivating his Dou Technique by drawing lightning into his body to strengthen his physical body, his internal organs were also strengthened. This gave his five Qi Mansion some unexpected benefits, and the Dou Qi within them surged and fluctuated, showing signs of advancement! However, with his two sisters by his side, he was not in a hurry. The three of them chatted and laughed, and along the way, many members of the Han Clan cast respectful glances at them.

The Han Clan couldn't find a single fault with their son-in-law.

As for Han Xue, she was happy staying by Xiao Yuan's side, so naturally no one would find fault with her. Everyone knew that the two sisters, Han Yue Han Xue, had a very good relationship. As long as they were willing, even if they both married Xiao Yuan, no one would think there would be any problem.

After returning to the courtyard at a leisurely pace, Xiao Yuan felt the increasingly intense fluctuations of his internal Dou Qi, and his expression became more serious.

"Senior, Xue Er, I sense an opportunity to advance. I need to train a bit."

Xiao Yuan said solemnly.

"Advancement?"

The two sisters were taken aback by what they heard.

"So you're going to advance again?" Xiao Yuan nodded, then took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, handed it to Han Yue, and said, "Senior sister, this is the Imperial Zenith Pill. It may take me quite a while to advance. You two can use this time to refine the pills I gave you to improve your strength."

"The Imperial Zenith Pill!?"

Han Yue's eyes widened upon hearing this.

First it was the Dou Ling Pill, and now it's the Imperial Zenith Pill. Xiao Yuan's extravagant spending is truly unbelievable to her.

When she was still in the Inner Academy, Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills seemed far inferior to his younger brother Xiao Yan's, but now it seems that Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills have become extremely powerful.

What a freak! The thought that Xiao Yuan might now be a Sixth Grade Alchemist, and could easily kill even a Dou Zong expert, made Han Yue feel like she was dreaming.

Although Xiao Yuan was already very powerful back then, he seems to be even more astonishingly powerful now.

"It's not difficult to refine. Go back and find some Medicinal Herbs at home for me, and I will help you refine them all into pills."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Alright, then you should go into seclusion now. You don't want to keep me waiting too long, do you?"

Han Yue nodded, then leaned close to Xiao Yuan's ear and whispered something as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

After saying this, her pretty face turned red, and she pulled Han Xue to the door of another Secret Chamber in the courtyard. She pushed Han Xue in first, and then hid in the Secret Chamber herself.

"Looks like I really need to speed up my cultivation."

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, then turned and walked into the Secret Chamber to begin his seclusion.

However, before that, "Your Majesty, perhaps you should first break my seal?"

Xiao Yuan spread his hands to his side with a hint of helplessness.

"."

"My dear Queen?"

"."

"Baby?"

Do you want to die?

A slightly chilly voice followed, and a glamorous beauty appeared beside Xiao Yuan with a cold face, speaking with murderous intent.

Today, Her Your Majesty is still wearing the familiar red dress, but the style is obviously much bolder than before. The waist is cut out on the side, the chest is slightly low, and the snow-white softness that cannot be hidden under the lace trim makes it impossible to look away.

"Oh, don't be angry. If you don't like being called 'baby,' I'll just call you 'sister' from now on!"

Xiao Yuan's smiling face, combined with his handsome features, made Medusa feel no ill will towards him.

"Hmph, I am not one of your many female lovers!"

Upon hearing this, Medusa snorted coldly.

"That's not true. Those are all true loves, not just lovers. Her Your Majesty is also someone I love, no different from them."

Xiao Yuan said in a very serious tone.

"I am the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe!"

Upon hearing this, Medusa couldn't help but emphasize it.

"I know, I didn't say you weren't, but to me, you are just the woman I like. The Snake-People Tribe will be fine with Ya Fei's protection. Before coming to Central State, among the things I asked Xiao Yu to take back was Break-Sect Pill for Hai Lao. With his foundation, he will probably be able to break through to the Dou Zong within two years. In addition, he and you have had some past acquaintances. With him stepping in to appease you, the Snake-People Tribe will be fine. You have carried the burden for so many years, so you should take a rest. I'll take care of everything."

Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this, then put his arms around Medusa's shoulders and said softly.

Medusa was taken aback upon hearing this.

Over the years, no one has ever said such a thing to her.

The elders and members of the tribe all saw her as their hope, expecting her to lead the Snake-People Tribe to revive. Their eager, expectant eyes were like heavy burdens weighing on her shoulders.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the risk of devouring the Heavenly Flames to evolve.

Looking back now, I realize that without this little guy sharing so much energy, I probably would have died back then.

Even if they don't die, they will most likely lose their memories temporarily and forget who they are because of the Heaven Swallowing Python.

Moreover, if she hadn't been by Xiao Yuan's side and consumed many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, she wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly and gradually fuse with the Heaven Swallowing Python's soul.

He said he would take advantage of Xiao Yuan's weakness to kill him, but deep down he also longed to take this opportunity to come to this wider world and make his mark.

Besides, staying by his side doesn't seem so bad. Wait, when did this kid's hand get on my body?

Medusa snapped out of her daze and saw Xiao Yuan with his hands on her shoulders. Her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"A pervert!"

Although she was still verbally abusive, she ultimately didn't knock Xiao Yuan's hand away.

"I was born as the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, and I have no name."

Medusa turned her head to the side and said calmly.

"How about I call you Cai Lin? The first time I heard about you was when I discovered your Cai Lin in that underground Magma World."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan took out a snake scale that emitted a seven-colored light from his Storage Ring.

Upon hearing this, Medusa turned her head, looked at the Seven-Colored Snake Scale in Xiao Yuan's hand, and lowered her eyelids slightly. "Whatever you say."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and touched Xiao Yuan's brow. Seven-Colored Snake Seal appeared, then transformed into a seven-colored ray of light and returned to her body.

"Call!"

Feeling the seal within his body disappear and his fighting Dou Qi finally able to circulate without hindrance, Xiao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, they might have to face the relentless pursuit of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. The lifting of the Serpent Sealing Technique has finally eliminated a small hidden danger. This means that Medusa should now be called Cai Lin, and that Cai Lin's attitude towards herself has also changed. Everything is turning for the better.

"If you don't want to be sealed, just break the seal yourself. Anyway, it will be difficult for me to threaten you again in the future."

Seeing Xiao Yuan breathe a sigh of relief as the seal was broken, Medusa turned cold, and she said indifferently.

"Ah?"

Xiao Yuan was still in shock, wondering what he had done to offend this cold and beautiful woman.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving!"

Cai Lin's tone was somewhat cold, which made Xiao Yuan feel uneasy.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Although Xiao Yuan couldn't figure out what went wrong, he knew that if he let the person go, all his previous words would have been in vain.

So he stepped forward and hugged Her Your Majesty was inexplicably upset.

"What are you doing? Release me at once!"

Cai Lin's face turned bright red almost instantly as she struggled and hissed in a low voice.

Despite being Dou Zong expert, she was like a panicked little girl, unable to put up any effective resistance.

Being held tightly in those strong arms was an experience Cai Lin had never had before.

Those thick pectoral muscles pressed against his large, soft chest, part of the skin of his chest pressed together without any clothing covering it, giving him an electric shock-like feeling that made his whole body go limp.

"You lecherous scoundrel."

Cai Lin's eyes began to glaze over.

Why must our relationship be based on threats?

Hearing Xiao Yuan's gentle voice, Cai Lin finally regained some of her senses. After a moment of silence, she still didn't speak.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she was indeed somewhat afraid that she would no longer have a sufficient reason to stay by the side of the man in front of her.

"Snort!"

After thinking it over, she still didn't know how to answer. She could only snort coldly, circulate her Dou Qi, escape from Xiao Yuan, straighten her clothes, and hurriedly run away.

"If I don't threaten you, what reason do I have to stay by your side!"

The figure disappeared, followed by words tinged with embarrassment and annoyance.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly. This Cai Lin was so stubborn.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I've seen countless people, but I've never seen a greedy fellow like you who flirts around and wants both women and hearts."

The mocking voice of Heavenly Flame Venerable echoed in Xiao Yuan's mind.

"I can't help it, I'm just that lecherous."

Xiao Yuan shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Haha, a man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth is wasting his life. Who wouldn't like a pretty girl? Alright, hurry up and focus on your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable laughed heartily before offering his reminder.

"Yes, it's time to start cultivating."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this, and immediately sat cross-legged. Although there was still a faint scent of datura flowers lingering in his arms, it did not affect him. On the contrary, it helped him get into the state of mind even faster.

With his mind focused on his body, Xiao Yuan began to guide the Dou Qi of the five Qi Mansion within his body according to the circulation path of the cultivation technique, and began to advance.

For Xiao Yuan, a minor promotion only requires one thing: sufficient energy.

It is obvious that Xiao Yuan is not lacking in energy.

That giant fist of lightning contained almost all the Dou Qi three Dou Zong, twenty-three Dou Emperor, and forty-six Dou Wang.

Xiao Yuan used most of it to cultivate Dou Technique and temper his body.

However, the remaining portion should not be underestimated. After being refined, it transformed into the purest energy, becoming the opportunity for this advancement.

Since all that's needed now is to guide the advancement process, Xiao Yuan can focus his mind on other things.

Besides improving his strength, he also needs to improve his alchemy skills as soon as possible.

It's not that I'm planning to attend any Pill Gathering; that kind of thing can be left to Xiao Yan.

The main reason was that he didn't want to casually create a physical body for Heavenly Flame Venerable.

However, if one were to use the Heavenly Flame Venerable's own physical body, then the Bone Growing Blood Melting Pill would be required.

The Bone Growing Blood Melting Pill is considered a high-grade seventh-rank pill, but if the alchemist is skilled enough, it can be refined into Rank 8 Pill.

Xiao Yuan has not yet refined any Grade 7 Pill, but his soul power and alchemy skills have already reached the seventh-grade level.

Although there is still some distance to go before reaching the advanced seventh rank, it is not an insurmountable goal.

The only problem is that the Medicinal Herbs are hard to find.

However, among the dozens of Storage Ring that were just confiscated, there were quite a few Medicinal Herbs and some cultivation resources, which might be able to solve part of the Medicinal Herbs problem.

However, in this sense, murder and robbery are indeed the fastest way to get rich.

In addition, the cultivation of the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body should also be put on the agenda.

Furthermore, the three Tian Yao Kui Wind, Thunder, and Lightning must also be refined as soon as possible.

As for the materials, Xiao Yuan wasn't worried.

With so many Storage Ring, the materials are plentiful.
