Xiao Chuan had no interest in killing Yue Mei and the others. Killing them would be useless; he might as well keep them around to hold Queen Medusa in check.
And now, he had her in his grasp.
Queen Medusa, just wait to submit to me!
A Dou Wang within a year?
If Xiao Chuan was ruthless enough, he might even be able to jump straight to Half-Saint. But he truly had no choice—he just couldn't bring himself to do it!!
"Her Majesty the Queen is safe and sound. She said she will come back to find you after some time." Xiao Chuan swept his gaze over them. "You can get lost now!"
"Can we know where Her Majesty the Queen has gone?" Yin Shi needed to know Queen Medusa's situation, or he would have no way to explain himself when he returned.
Killing intent flashed in Xiao Chuan's eyes as a Dou Emperor's aura swept out. "Either get lost, or die here!"
Yin Shi and the others hardened their hearts. They felt that if they stayed any longer, Xiao Chuan really would kill them.
Yun Yun watched Yue Mei and the others flee in disgrace, then turned back toward him. "Did you successfully refine the Heavenly Flame?"
"I did." Xiao Chuan summoned the Green Lotus Core Flame into his palm, where a cluster of azure fire swayed gently.
Yun Yun's face was full of astonishment. That terrifying fiery aura could only be a Heavenly Flame.
But she was more concerned with where Queen Medusa had gone. "Where is Queen Medusa?"
"Right here!"
Xiao Chuan summoned the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
"This is Queen Medusa?" Yun Yun stared blankly at the little snake. Why was it kind of adorable?
Xiao Chuan had the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python return to his sleeve. "Let's go back first. We still need to help Hai Bo Dong make his medicine!"
Yun Yun nodded and flew back to Shi Mo City with him.
"Are you two all right?" Hai Bo Dong was only a Dou Ling; following them would only have held them back. "Who got the Heavenly Flame?"
"I did."
Xiao Chuan took out his pill cauldron. "I'm feeling full of energy right now, so I'll refine your Po'e Pill first."
"This guy is Hai Bo Dong?"
Queen Medusa naturally knew Hai Bo Dong. That had been a long time ago, and she herself was the reason his cultivation had fallen.
She just had not expected Xiao Chuan to be an alchemist as well.
"Let me try out the Green Lotus Core Flame!"
There were many firsts in life. This was Xiao Chuan's first time using a Heavenly Flame, and the feeling was far better than Purple Flame.
Yun Yun and Hai Bo Dong did not disturb Xiao Chuan as he refined the pill. Yun Yun remained as calm as still water, but Hai Bo Dong paced anxiously in circles.
It was not that he did not trust Xiao Chuan. The medicinal ingredients had taken him a long time to gather, and if anything went wrong, all his efforts would be wasted.
Hai Bo Dong did not want Xiao Chuan to fail. He only wanted him to successfully refine the Po'e Pill so he could recover his Dou Emperor strength.
No one knew how much time passed.
When the fragrance of medicine drifted out from the room, Hai Bo Dong and Yun Yun both rose to their feet and looked toward the door.
"You can come in now!"
As Xiao Chuan's voice rang out, Hai Bo Dong rushed forward first and was the first to enter the room.
"Young Master, did it succeed?"
"The Tier 6 Po'e Pill is complete."
Xiao Chuan tossed the pill to Hai Bo Dong. The latter caught it, his eyes shining brightly. His cultivation could finally be restored.
"A Tier 6... Po'e Pill?" Queen Medusa remained silent for a long time. Xiao Chuan being a Dou Emperor was already unbelievable, yet he was also a Tier 6 Alchemist...
Was this guy some kind of master of time management?
How had he managed to balance cultivation and alchemy!?
Becoming a Tier 6 Alchemist was far more difficult than advancing to Dou Emperor. Otherwise, alchemists would not be so revered throughout the Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Chuan took out the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and stroked its head. "Queen Medusa, I bet you're very surprised right now, aren't you?"
Queen Medusa snorted coldly inside the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, though no one outside knew it.
Hai Bo Dong stared dumbfoundedly at the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. "Young Master, this is Queen Medusa?"
Xiao Chuan nodded. "That's right. Queen Medusa, the one who caused your cultivation to fall."
"Young Master, could you not bring up the one thing I don't want to talk about?" Hai Bo Dong had no desire to be struck by dead memories. "I'll go refine the pill first."
"Go ahead." Xiao Chuan knew Hai Bo Dong had waited for this day for a long time.
Yun Yun entered from outside. "I've already done what I promised you. You can't keep breaking your word, can you?"
"I was only joking before. I'm actually quite a man of my word." Xiao Chuan pulled Yun Yun down to sit, poured her a cup of tea, and casually shut the door.
"Why did you close the door?"
Yun Yun felt that Xiao Chuan had ulterior motives. He was probably about to do something improper.
Xiao Chuan said reluctantly, "I'm preparing to return to the Xiao Clan. After this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again."
"It would be best if we never met again!"
Yun Yun rose to leave, but Xiao Chuan grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Chuan held Yun Yun's fragrant shoulders and leaned close to her ear. "One last time. I promise it will be the last time. And after this, I will make one move for the Misty Cloud Sect!"
At those words, Yun Yun fell silent. She was weighing the gains and losses. After all, she had already given herself to Xiao Chuan twice; one more time was not impossible.
She did not know Xiao Chuan's identity, but his future was boundless. In just a few short months, he had risen from Dou Wang to Dou Emperor.
Others did not know, but Yun Yun understood better than anyone that this man's potential was simply unfathomable.
Moreover, she could tell that if she did not agree to him once more, he would definitely keep pestering her afterward.
"All right..."
Yun Yun nodded in embarrassment.
Xiao Chuan swept Yun Yun into his arms. "You should be used to it by now, so let's try everything!"
Clothes fell to the floor.
The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python slithered out and stared at the two people on the bed.
"Shameless! Absolutely shameless!" Queen Medusa had never expected the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect to be this sort of person!!
No!!
You stupid thing, what are you looking at?
Turn your head already!!
Queen Medusa was about to go mad. Why did this stupid snake insist on staring?!
Why was it getting a little hot?
No, why was he so big!?
All at once, Queen Medusa realized that she seemed to have been led astray by this stupid snake too!!
She immediately entered slumber, unwilling to pay attention to what was happening outside, yet unable to resist listening out of curiosity.
You wouldn't know without listening, but once she did, she was startled.
Why was this Sect Master Yun so good at making those sounds!?
Even as a woman, Queen Medusa felt something after hearing it.
Damn Yun Yun, you're ruining my Dao heart!!
Queen Medusa had no choice but to sink fully into slumber. She planned to wake up again in half an hour.
Half an hour later.
"No, why are you still going after half an hour?" Queen Medusa felt like her ears were growing brains!
Destroy it all!!
After quite a while, Yun Yun staggered out of the room, formed Dou Qi Wings, and left Shi Mo City.
"My eldest and second brothers have been taken care of. Next, I can return to the Xiao Clan." Xiao Chuan knew Xiao Yan's coming-of-age ceremony was approaching, and he had promised to return.
He looked at the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python not far away. "Little snake, come here. Are you hungry? Want to have a taste?"
The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python wriggled over and quickly arrived before Xiao Chuan, raising its little head to look at him.
"You bastard, you won't even spare a snake!?" Queen Medusa cursed furiously within her soul.
Before you continue
