Taking Yue Mei as a Concubine, Reward: Emperor-Tier Cultivation Technique, Nine Suns Burning World Scripture

Medusa set the wedding date for tomorrow, a timeline that could be described as extremely urgent. Aside from Yue Mei, who remained by Medusa's side as a dowry maid, the Four Great Elders and the various leaders all began to take action.

With the Top-Grade Sect-Breaking Pill as an incentive, the Great Elder naturally threw herself wholeheartedly into preparing for the wedding, and the entire Temple City began to mobilize under her scheduling.

Even with only one day of preparation time, it would absolutely be handled in a grand and beautiful manner.

After the seven leaders returned to their respective tribes, they also began to prepare congratulatory gifts. Since their Queen was getting married, even if some leaders were unwilling, they dared not be sloppy with the gifts they were expected to offer.

The news that Queen Medusa was to be married tomorrow quickly spread from the Temple City to the various large and small tribes of the Snake-People Tribe.

Countless snake-people were greatly astonished, all gossiping about who the Wang Fu was, while simultaneously preparing their own gifts, offering their most precious treasures to Medusa to present a blessing for the Queen's wedding.

Due to the regulations of the Snake-People Tribe, the Queen and the Wang Fu were not allowed to meet before the wedding. Gu Shenge was arranged to stay in a palace, with Yue Mei following by his side; he could order her for anything he needed.

Watching the busy snake-people guards and snake-women outside the hall, Gu Shenge was somewhat looking forward to the wedding banquet with Medusa tomorrow. Although the time was rushed, given the efficiency of the Snake-People Tribe, he assumed they would not disappoint him.

He turned his head to look at Yue Mei, who was guarding the entrance, and called for her to come in.

"Wang Fu, I wonder what you have called me for?"

Yue Mei asked Gu Shenge respectfully. Not to mention that the other party was the Queen's husband, his status as a Dou Emperor alone was enough to earn her respect.

Gu Shenge looked at this charming, gorgeous, mature, and voluptuous snake-woman, revealing a smile toward her with a voice as soft and warm as the sun.

"I presume Leader Yue Mei is already aware that your Queen has asked you to marry me as a dowry maid. I wonder if Leader Yue Mei has any other opinions, and whether you are willing to be my concubine?"

Facing his inquiry, in terms of subjective willingness, Yue Mei was reluctant. However, her own Queen had already spoken, and it wasn't just her being sent as a dowry; even the Queen's personal guard captain was being sent as well, so she naturally dared not have any excess opinions.

A charming smile appeared on Yue Mei's pretty face, and she said coquettishly: "Since it is the Queen's decision, Yue Mei naturally obeys. As long as the Wang Fu does not look down upon this humble self, that is enough."

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Gu Shenge's mind.

[Ding~ Detected that Charm Snake Leader Yue Mei is willing to marry the host as a concubine. Does the host wish to take her as a concubine?]

Gu Shenge: "Naturally, I would not look down upon her."

[Ding~ Marriage Contract beginning to be signed...]

[Ding~ Signing complete. Congratulations to the host for taking a virtuous concubine. As this is the host's first time taking a concubine, the reward is super-doubled.]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Emperor-Tier Cultivation Technique Nine Suns Burning World Scripture, 100,000 Origin Points, and five Xuan-grade draws.]

[Ding~ Betrothal gifts have been issued: Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Origin, Heaven-Tier Low-Grade Cultivation Technique Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring Spirit Art, one Top-Grade Dou Ling Pill, one Top-Grade Emperor-Breaking Pill, and one Transformation Pill.]

After listening to the system's notification, a trace of regret flashed in Gu Shenge's eyes. Yue Mei was only a virtuous concubine; if she were a noble concubine, the rewards would surely have been higher.

Yue Mei also sensed the Marriage Contract being signed within her body, and her diamond-shaped snake pupils revealed shock. She looked at Gu Shenge in disbelief; what was going on here?

Seeing Yue Mei so surprised, Gu Shenge explained: "No need to be surprised. Your Queen and I also have a Marriage Contract. You can understand it as a marriage certificate—apologies, I forgot you don't have things like marriage certificates here. You can understand it as a guarantee; it is beneficial to both you and me."

"Since you are now my concubine, I naturally will not treat you poorly. I will hand your betrothal gifts to your Queen after the wedding, and she will naturally pass them on to you. Take this Transformation Pill first."

After speaking, a Transformation Pill appeared in Gu Shenge's hand. He handed it to the still-surprised Yue Mei. As for the remaining betrothal gifts, he would give them to Medusa together after the wedding as agreed.

A while later, Yue Mei took the Transformation Pill, her head in a whirl. She needed to report this matter to Queen Medusa. After taking her leave from Gu Shenge, she twisted her enchanting snake waist and left the palace.

Gu Shenge knew she had gone to find Medusa and did not stop her. Instead, he took a crimson-gold jade slip from the system space; this was the Emperor-Tier Cultivation Technique, the Nine Suns Burning World Scripture.

He mobilized his soul power to envelop the jade slip, reading the scriptures of the Nine Suns Burning World Scripture.

A long time later, Gu Shenge withdrew his soul power, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes. This Emperor-Tier cultivation technique had some similarities to the Burning Mantra.

The Burning Mantra relied on absorbing Heavenly Flames, evolving step by step from Huang-tier low-grade to Emperor-tier.

But the Nine Suns Burning World Scripture was even more domineering than the Burning Mantra. It did not need to store Heavenly Flames; it directly refined them to evolve the Burning World Divine Sun.

For every additional Divine Sun, the cultivation speed would increase twofold. Furthermore, even without active cultivation, the Divine Sun would autonomously circulate within the body, drawing in, absorbing, and refining the energy of heaven and earth to convert it into Dou Qi.

When the technique reached perfection, one could drive nine Heavenly Flame Divine Suns to scorch the heavens and refine all things!

Gu Shenge was extremely satisfied with this Emperor-Tier cultivation technique. Paired with the Nine Yang Heavenly Art, it was perfect.

Moreover, his Solar Sacred Body naturally contained a Divine Sun, making every breath a form of cultivation. Added to the amplification of the Nine Suns Burning World Scripture, his future cultivation would truly be as simple as eating and drinking.

It just so happened that there was a Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert. After the wedding, he would call his beloved wife to go and retrieve it together.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, following the descriptions in the Nine Suns Burning World Scripture, forming the Yang Seal with his hands, and as his Solar Dou Qi circulated, he entered a state of cultivation.

On the other side, inside the Queen's palace.

After hearing Yue Mei's report, a trace of astonishment flashed in Medusa's eyes. She had not expected that Yue Mei would also have a Marriage Contract signed.

"Did you say anything to him?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Mei recalled the events and repeated her conversation with Gu Shenge to Queen Medusa.

Once Medusa heard it, she carefully recalled her own conversation with Gu Shenge, looking for commonalities.

A moment later, she gradually understood why Gu Shenge was able to sign a Marriage Contract with them. When they agreed to marry Gu Shenge as wife and concubine, it triggered some kind of rule, thereby signing the Marriage Contract.

It was truly impossible to guard against!

Medusa became increasingly curious about Gu Shenge's origins. He had suddenly appeared on her island, was able to double the force of his counterattacks, possessed the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, could casually produce high-grade super-pills like the Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill, and also had the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python Origin and an Emperor-Tier cultivation technique. He had gone from a commoner with no cultivation to a Dou Emperor in one month—what secrets were hidden in this guy?

"Yue Mei, do not tell anyone else about the Marriage Contract. As for Hua She'er, tell her to go to the Wang Fu's place as well."

Medusa instructed Yue Mei. Since Hua She'er was also a dowry maid she had designated, she naturally could not be an exception. They had all signed the Marriage Contract, so she had to sign it too.

"By the way, did the Wang Fu give you any betrothal gifts?"

Yue Mei nodded, then shook her head, taking out the Transformation Pill Gu Shenge had given her and offering it to Medusa with both hands.

"Wang Fu gave me a Transformation Pill. He said the rest of the betrothal gifts will be presented to you, Queen, after the wedding."

"Take the Transformation Pill tonight. After all, Wang Fu is human."

Medusa looked at the Transformation Pill, naturally understanding the intention behind it. After all, Gu Shenge was human; although the Snake-person customs could be used by humans, it would be troublesome, so it was better to follow the human way.

"Yes, Queen."

Yue Mei nodded respectfully, turned, and swayed her enchanting snake waist as she left. Medusa looked at her own vibrant red snake tail, lost in thought.
