Snake People Sacred Temple, the Fiery Queen Emerges from Her Bath

Having dealt with the voyeur, Xiao Yao wasted no more time. He brought Qing Lin along and, with his other hand, seized the snake woman Yue Mei before him as though carrying a chick.

"Let's go. We'll pay a visit to your Snake People Tribe's temple."

Xiao Yao's voice was calm, yet it carried the force of an unquestionable command.

"Y-yes, Senior..." Yue Mei pursed her seductive red lips, her delicate body trembling as she hurriedly agreed. Yet her mind was racing.

No! This man's strength is unfathomable. Since he specifically asked for Her Majesty the Queen, he must mean trouble! I have to find a way to stall for time and notify the four Grand Elders of the temple to prepare!

Having made up her mind, Yue Mei took the initiative to "lead the way."

"Senior, our temple lies deep within the desert. The journey is long, and the path is full of quicksand and poisonous miasma. Please follow me."

As she spoke, she deliberately flew in the wrong direction, intending to lead Xiao Yao on a long detour.

However, Xiao Yao merely watched her with the look of someone observing a clown perform. Under the Lesser Heavenly Secret Technique, the Snake People Sacred Temple was clearer in his mind than his own backyard.

"No need."

Xiao Yao spoke indifferently, directly interrupting her performance.

Holding Yue Mei, he turned and shot off in the direction completely opposite to the one she had indicated!

"Ah—!"

Yue Mei only had time to let out a scream before the terrifying speed frightened her speechless! Every little scheme in her heart was utterly crushed at that moment! She finally realized in despair that before this terrifying young expert, all her thoughts were as childish and laughable as those of a three-year-old.

He seemed more familiar with the way home than she was!

In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, an enormous and majestic city, brimming with primitive and wild beauty, appeared at the edge of their vision. At the center of the city stood an ancient temple built from massive bluestone blocks, radiating an ancient aura that compelled all serpents to submit.

From time to time, dozens of fully armed snake people could be seen patrolling the vast desert with poisoned spears in hand, their sharp gazes sweeping carefully across the surroundings. Any creature that was not of the Snake People Tribe would be slaughtered by them. Wherever they passed, trails left by their swaying snake tails remained behind.

The blazing sun in the sky gradually descended toward the west. A massive city faintly appeared at the end of the horizon. Beyond the jagged rocks lay the temple where Queen Medusa resided.

Xiao Yao casually swept the area with his Heaven Realm soul.

Hmm, there are four Peak Dou Emperor auras beneath the central altar. This is the foundation of the Snake People Tribe.

He did not stop. He directly passed through the crude defensive formation and headed straight into the temple, toward the location of that most powerful aura!

At the center of the palace was a lake warded by poisonous restrictions. Within it was a small pool filled with crystalline liquid, wreathed in white mist. Even from far away, one could feel the extreme chill contained within it. It was a whole pool of Ice Spirit Cold Spring! Countless heavenly treasures, long extinct in the outside world, grew around the pool.

"Not bad!" Even Xiao Yao could not help but praise it.

His gaze fell upon the Ice Spirit Cold Spring! The sight before him in the next instant made even Xiao Yao's normally tranquil heart surge violently!

There, in the bone-piercing spring water, a flawless, mature, voluptuous, devastatingly beautiful body that seemed too perfect to exist in this world was languidly reclining against the edge of the pool.

A luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe wrapped around her graceful body. Her full, fiery, exquisitely curved figure exuded a bewitching allure. Her pair of narrow pale-purple eyes seemed naturally enchanting as they shifted, capable of drawing in the gaze of nearly every man. Her snow-white, jade-like skin appeared even more crystalline against the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, delicate enough to break at the slightest touch.

Beneath the purple brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was exposed, swaying lazily and radiating a wild, exotic charm. Dressed in that regal purple brocade robe, her wild and seductive allure made one's entire body burn.

That beautiful face finally made Xiao Yao understand why so many people near the desert said that Queen Medusa's beauty was enough to rival her fearsome reputation. For a woman like this, only the words "bewitchingly gorgeous" seemed fitting. Yet beneath that bewitching beauty, she also possessed the nobility and grace of an empress.

A beauty emerging from her bath! Peerless beauty in all the world!

Damn... Xiao Yao could not help but complain inwardly. Again?! Isn't the treatment for a chosen son like me a bit too good?

Still, complaints aside, he could not help but sigh.

As expected of Queen Medusa. She truly is... a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, unmatched beneath the heavens!

At that moment, Her Majesty the Queen, who had been resting with her eyes closed, seemed to sense Yue Mei's aura. She slowly opened those violet snake eyes that could enchant all living beings, her voice carrying a trace of laziness and displeasure.

"Yue Mei, why have you returned? Why are you not resting in your Charm Snake Tribe? Why have you come to see me, and why do you not speak?"

Her bewitching purple eyes swept casually over the scene. What entered her view was not only the terrified Yue Mei, but also one tall and one small figure. The instant she saw the man in black and the little girl, her languid expression froze!

The aura of a Peak Dou Emperor instantly erupted, and overwhelming killing intent and icy cold swept across the entire area!

"Humans?! You seek death!"

"Splash!"

With a splash of water, her incomparably graceful naked body was instantly covered by a layer of seven-colored gauze!

Then, with a wave of her jade-like hand!

"Shadowing Snake Hand!"

Several enormous energy serpents formed from Dou Qi tore through the air with chilling killing intent and lunged wildly at Xiao Yao! At the same time, a giant python shot out and viciously lashed toward Qing Lin. Its terrifying power shook the air until sharp sonic booms rang out.

Facing the several energy serpents tearing through the air with chilling killing intent, along with that giant python, Xiao Yao's face did not show the slightest ripple.

Only when the energy serpents were about to touch the corner of his robes did he casually wave his hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, only several dull sounds, like bubbles bursting.

Those terrifying energy serpents, which Queen Medusa had unleashed with all her strength and which could easily tear a Dou Wang expert to pieces, shattered inch by inch beneath that wave as though they had encountered their natural nemesis, vanishing into the air in an instant!

"Hmm?!"

Queen Medusa's violet snake eyes, filled with killing intent, suddenly constricted!

A rare expression of gravity appeared on her peerlessly bewitching face!

He blocked my attack so easily. There is no such person in the Gamma Empire. Could he be...

"No matter who you are!" Queen Medusa held a snake-shaped long whip that was also seven-colored and pointed it at Xiao Yao from afar. Her voice was as cold as ten-thousand-year ice. "I do not care how you silently infiltrated my temple."

"Today, you must die here!"
