I'm a Decent Man

Blue Eagle let out a cry and followed behind Lin Mu.

The man and eagle soon returned to Medicine Valley. Seemingly sensing the poisonous gas in the surrounding air, Blue Eagle appeared extremely uneasy, growling continuously as the icy aura around its body began to stir restlessly.

Boom!

Black and White Flames blazed up, enveloping Blue Eagle and gradually calming it down.

After passing through the Medicine Garden and reentering the chaotic space, Lin Mu had barely stepped inside when the two Medicine Puppet Kings appeared before him. Startled, he formed the Kun Peng Method in his hand and nearly unleashed it.

However, when Lin Mu heard Xiao Yi Xian's bell-like laughter from nearby, the Kun Peng Method in his hand dissipated at once.

"Did I scare you?"

Xiao Yi Xian flashed out from behind the two Medicine Puppet Kings and smiled playfully at Lin Mu.

"You... these Medicine Puppet Kings?"

Feeling the surging, powerful aura within Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Mu knew that she had succeeded. She was now a genuine Dou Wang powerhouse.

"The residual image left behind by that senior has dissipated, but he gave these two Medicine Puppet Kings to me as his final gift. So now, they obey me."

Xiao Yi Xian explained.

Even Lin Mu could not help feeling a little envious upon hearing that.

Not only had she obtained a tremendous opportunity herself, but she had also gained two Three-star Dou Ancestor bodyguards. With the two Medicine Puppet Kings joining forces, they could likely fight even a five-star Dou Ancestor.

"It's impossible not to be jealous."

Lin Mu smiled helplessly.

At this moment, Blue Eagle stepped forward and stopped beside Xiao Yi Xian.

"You... how did you become like this?!"

Xiao Yi Xian was startled. Looking at her companion, now completely transformed, she was first stunned, then astonished.

After hearing Lin Mu's explanation, she could not help but feel delighted. She thanked Lin Mu on one hand and rejoiced over her companion's increased strength on the other.

"This Medicine Valley should belong to you now."

Lin Mu and Xiao Yi Xian left the distorted space. Looking at the many remaining herbs in the Medicine Garden, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly before suddenly asking, "Lin Mu, where is Medusa?"

"She succeeded, but she has fallen asleep for now."

Lin Mu spread open his palm. A little colorful snake lay quietly in the center of his hand.

"She does look rather cute like this. Are you planning to keep a woman like Medusa as a pet?" Xiao Yi Xian gave Lin Mu a strange look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm a decent gentleman. Why does it feel like you have quite an issue with Medusa?"

Xiao Yi Xian gave a soft snort. "I have no issue with her. Even if I dislike her personality, it is only because she has sufficient strength. As for someone else, he went on a trip through the desert with two beautiful women. How carefree."

"Ah, haha, haha."

Lin Mu laughed awkwardly. Chatting and laughing together, he and Xiao Yi Xian left Medicine Valley. Once they were standing outside the entrance again, Xiao Yi Xian lightly waved her slender arm, releasing Dou Qi from within her body to seal Medicine Valley once more.

"Let this Medicine Valley and that senior remain asleep here forever."

Xiao Yi Xian bowed, then turned around.

"So, what are your plans next?"

Lin Mu asked. Without realizing it, Xiao Yi Xian's fate had already changed because of him. As for what she would do next, even Lin Mu did not know.

"I should return to Qingshan Town first. After living there for so long, how can I simply leave just like that?"

"Afterward, I might take a trip to the Cloud Empire."

Lin Mu froze. "The Cloud Empire?"

"Yes. There are many Poison Masters there. Although I inherited that senior's legacy, I am still not proficient enough in using my Calamity Poison Body. I think traveling through the Cloud Empire would suit me very well."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled. "Perhaps by the time I return from the Cloud Empire, I'll be even stronger than you."

"Sure. Then I'll wait for that." Lin Mu smiled and nodded as well.

"Though it isn't as though I must go to the Cloud Empire. Staying by your side seems quite nice too." Xiao Yi Xian's sudden words left Lin Mu unsure how to respond. Seeing his awkward expression, Xiao Yi Xian could not help laughing aloud.

"I'm joking. Someone already has a Beauty Snake beside him, and you still want me to follow you? Dream on!"

Lin Mu smiled helplessly. "The Cloud Empire is surely full of dangers. If you go there alone to train, you won't suffer any less."

"If you follow me, I'll keep you safe."

Seeing that Lin Mu did not appear to be joking, Xiao Yi Xian froze. A blush immediately appeared on her delicate cheeks, making her even more captivating beneath the setting sun.

"I have two Medicine Puppet Kings with Dou Zong-level strength now. Ordinary people cannot do anything to me."

Xiao Yi Xian then continued, "Perhaps the next time we meet, I'll choose to travel with you."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

The two chatted with smiles as they left the desert together, heading toward Qingshan Town.

Snake People Race settlement.

Xiao Yi Xian remained some distance away, while Lin Mu descended into the Snake People Race's main hall. As Lin Mu appeared, several of the Snake People Race's elders emerged as well.

"It's you. Where is Her Majesty the Queen?" one of the elders could not help asking.

"With me here, she naturally succeeded in evolving."

Lin Mu gently placed the sleeping Seven-Colored Little Snake before the Snake People Race elders. They looked at one another, their eyes overflowing with wild delight.

"This is the legendary Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python! Her Majesty the Queen really succeeded! Now, our Snake People Race will have a true Dou Zong powerhouse!"

"Lord Lin Mu, we old fellows were somewhat discourteous before. Please do not take offense!"

"That's right, Lord Lin Mu. We old fellows promise you here and now that you will be the only human our Snake People Race will ever regard as an honored guest!"

"Hehe, if Lord Lin Mu truly has feelings for Her Majesty the Queen, we old fellows can offer you some advice. We watched Her Majesty the Queen grow up, so we definitely know everything you want to know."

"Since that is the case, let us talk about Her Majesty the Queen's childhood..."

Lin Mu: "..."

Lin Mu was helpless. These old fellows only dared act so boldly because Medusa was currently asleep. Otherwise...

Their fate would be hard to predict.

In the end, Lin Mu still kept Medusa by his side. Although the elders hesitated somewhat at his request, they ultimately agreed. So long as Her Majesty the Queen remained safe and sound, she would return one day.

When that time came, the rise of the Snake People Race would be unstoppable.
