Flirting, Snake People Holy City

The five people left the scorching underground world with the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake, returning to the desert surface where the blinding sand filled the sky.

The scorching sunlight poured down, which was completely different from the muggy heat underground.

Medusa gently swayed her snake tail, her tone tense, "Shen Wen, the matter of the Heavenly Flames is over, can we talk about things between us now?"

What she kept in mind naturally was Shen Wen's previous promise to help her purify her bloodline and breakthrough Dou Ancestor.

Hearing this, Shen Wen smiled easily, however, and asked in reverse, "What, is Her Majesty the Queen already in a hurry to issue a eviction notice?

Aren't you planning to invite us to sit a while in your Snake People Holy City?

It will also give me a chance to experience the local customs and practices of the Snake People Clan."

Medusa's expression tightened slightly, and the jade hand within her sleeve clenched slightly.

Inviting humans, especially humans with such sensitive identities, to enter the core hinterland of the Snake People Clan was a major taboo among the clan.

However, facing Shen Wen's gaze, which looked casual yet was impossible to refuse.

Thinking of the future of the Snake People Clan and her own promise.

She found that she simply had no room for refusal.

This guy, who was so gentle to Dan Chen, was yet so overbearing when it came to her, and anything he did allowed for no refusal!

...Fine. Medusa suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, her voice cold, "This Queen will invite you all to the Holy City for a chat."

Shen Wen nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Xiao Ding who was respectfully waiting aside, and instructed, "Xiao Ding, the matters here, including the information related to the Heavenly Flames and the Snake People Clan, must be sealed off and not spread out."

"Rest assured, Milord, Xiao Ding understands!" Xiao Ding hurriedly bowed in agreement, feeling a chill in his heart as he knew this matter was of great importance.

During the flying boat's smooth flight toward the Snake People Holy City.

Inside the cabin, Cao Ying had changed into her own dress, but the scene of "showing each other utter sincerity" deep underground still lingered in her mind.

Whenever she saw Shen Wen, her enchanting cheeks could not help but flush with a blush.

Shen Wen naturally took in this appearance of hers entirely, a playful smile in his eyes as he deliberately leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Madam's appearance right now, is she reminiscing about the underground affair?"

As for the titles of husband and wife, the two seemed to have tacitly accepted them already, yet Cao Ying would still occasionally feel shy about Shen Wen's address.

"You!" Cao Ying looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling as she glared fiercely at him, her earlobes red enough to bleed. "Don't think about it! Don't mention it! That... that was an accident!"

"An accident?" Shen Wen raised an eyebrow, his smile growing even more teasing, "Your husband risked being burned by the Heavenly Flame to save Madam from danger.

With such a great contribution, does Madam want to dismiss it with a single 'accident'?

Aren't you going to give some substantive reward?"

Cao Ying choked with anger, vexed and annoyed. "Reward? You... you saw... saw everything!"

The last few words were squeezed out almost from between her teeth.

Shen Wen spread his hands with an innocent look, "This can't be blamed on me, the Heavenly Flame was too domineering and burned Madam's clothes.

I closed my eyes and didn't even have time to react."

His words were sheer nonsense; the situation had been critical at the time, and how could he have bothered to close his eyes, lest Cao Ying be burned to ashes by the Green Lotus Core Flame by the time he opened them.

Cao Ying was so infuriated by his rogue attitude that her teeth itched, but thinking that he had indeed saved her and helped her successfully refine the Heavenly Flame, her heart softened involuntarily.

Biting her lip, she struggled for a moment, and asked with a voice like a mosquito, "Then... what reward do you want?"

The smile in Shen Wen's eyes deepened as he pointed to his cheek and said, "Simple, just kiss me on the cheek."

Cao Ying's face instantly exploded into a deep red, her beautiful eyes widening.

Having just experienced such an embarrassing matter, she was now supposed to proactively kiss him?

Yet looking at Shen Wen's expectant and smiling gaze.

Her heart beat like a drum, and as if possessed by a ghost, she raised her tiptoes slightly, closed her eyes, and moved toward his cheek.

However, the moment her enchanting red lips were about to touch Shen Wen's cheek, Shen Wen suddenly tilted his head.

A warm and moist sensation printed precisely upon his lips.

Cao Ying abruptly opened her eyes, met Shen Wen's playful gaze, and instantly realized she had been teased!

"Shen Wen! You scoundrel!"

Consumed by shame and anger, she slapped Shen Wen's solid shoulder, then covered her face and rushed out of the cabin like a frightened rabbit.

This scene.

Just happened to be seen clearly by Medusa, who was outside the cabin instructing Qing Lin on how to simply control the power within her body, Dan Chen, who was meditating intently, and Qing Lin.

Looking at Cao Ying's flushed back as she ran away, all three of them wore expressions of slight confusion.

Medusa frowned slightly, finding it difficult to understand this kind of flirting behavior between humans.

Dan Chen's little face turned slightly red, as if she understood something, and she quietly lowered her head.

Qing Lin blinked her large eyes, looking blankly in the direction where Cao Ying had disappeared, then at the smiling Shen Wen inside the cabin, and whispered to Medusa:

"Her Majesty the Queen, what's wrong with Ying Jie?"

Medusa calmly withdrew her gaze without answering; right now, her mind was completely filled with worry about the future development of the Snake People Clan, so where would she find the time to care about these issues.

She was helping Qing Lin cultivate solely because Shen Wen valued Qing Lin quite a bit, and she might be able to put in a good word for her later.

Such matters that she didn't understand very well herself.

She couldn't be bothered to solve Qing Lin's doubts either, and simply said calmly, "Don't worry about so much, just cultivate properly. Don't let your young master abandon you by then!"

Qing Lin was startled at once. To her, the young master abandoning her was a matter of catastrophic proportions, and she nodded vigorously, "I will cultivate properly!"

Under Medusa's guidance, the flying boat advanced toward the Tagor Desert Depths, finally arriving at the core of the Snake People Clan.

The Holy City.

The flying boat had just approached the outer periphery of the Holy City and had yet to land.

Four immensely powerful auras suddenly awakened like sleeping fierce beasts, soaring into the sky from the four directions of the Holy City!

The majestic pressure was like an invisible mountain, carrying the unique Yin Cold and murderous aura of the Snake People Clan, roaring down to crush the flying boat!

They were shockingly the four Dou Huang Peak elders of the Snake People Clan!

This pressure was not aimed at anyone in particular, but was more like a warning and deterrence, proclaiming that the majesty of the Snake People Holy City could not be violated.

However, before this pressure had completely descended—

"Hmph!"

A crisp yet cold feminine snort came from within the flying boat.

The next moment, a fiery-red, slender figure had already appeared in front of the flying boat.

Cao Ying's pretty face was frosted, and the shyness she previously felt facing Shen Wen had long been replaced by the sharpness of the present moment.

Facing those four pressures capable of suffocating ordinary Dou Emperors.

Her jade hand lifted slightly, and a wisp of green flame, seemingly weak yet containing destructive power, leaped from her fingertips.

Immediately, the green flame swelled against the wind, transforming into a green lotus phantom that suspended above her head.

The lotus slowly rotated, and a scorching, violent aura—not the least bit inferior to the joint pressure of the four elders—diffused outward, completely resisting, burning, and scattering the enveloping Yin Cold Qi!

Green Lotus Core Flame!

Cao Ying stood proudly in the air, her dress fluttering in the heatwave, and her enchanting face was now filled with confidence and assertiveness as her cold voice resounded across this desert:

"Snake People Clan, is this your hospitality?"
