Obtaining the Heavenly Flame Reward, Fallen Heart Flame

Mo Basi lay in his quarters, his wounds still unhealed.

A Snake-Person hurried inside.

"Lord Mo Basi, the Queen has returned."

The Snake-Person said.

Mo Basi sat up abruptly, a flash of joy appearing in his eyes.

"The Queen is back?"

Mo Basi asked.

"Yes."

The Snake-Person nodded.

Mo Basi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain of his wounds as he stood up.

"Let's go, I must see the Queen."

Mo Basi said.

The Snake-Person hesitated for a moment and did not move.

"What is it?"

Mo Basi frowned.

"Lord Mo Basi, the Queen, she..."

The Snake-Person stammered.

"Speak!"

Mo Basi said coldly.

"The Queen has ordered that you be stripped of your position as one of the Eight Great Leaders."

The Snake-Person said, "She commands you to reflect on your mistakes, and you are not permitted to leave your quarters without her authorization."

Mo Basi's expression changed drastically.

"What did you say?"

Mo Basi said in disbelief.

"The Queen said that you challenged Xiao Chen while she was away, which violated the tribal laws."

The Snake-Person said, "Therefore, she has stripped you of your leadership position."

Mo Basi's face turned livid.

He clenched his fists, his entire body trembling.

"Xiao Chen..."

Mo Basi gritted his teeth as he spat out the name.

Ignoring the Snake-Person's words, he strode out of his quarters.

Enduring his pain, Mo Basi arrived at the great hall.

Medusa sat upon the throne, speaking with the First Elder.

Seeing Mo Basi walk in, Medusa frowned.

"Who gave you permission to come here?"

Medusa said coldly.

Mo Basi knelt on the ground.

"Queen, I have been wronged!"

Mo Basi said urgently, "It was Xiao Chen who struck first; he defied his superior!"

"I am one of the Eight Great Leaders, what right does a piece of trash like him have to lay a hand on me?"

Medusa looked at him, her expression darkening.

"Defied his superior?"

Medusa said coldly, "Do you think I don't know what happened?"

"It was you who went to cause trouble for Xiao Chen, and it was you who struck first."

"Xiao Chen was merely forced to retaliate; how can you claim he defied his superior?"

Mo Basi's expression shifted.

"Queen, I..."

Mo Basi tried to defend himself.

"Enough."

Medusa interrupted him, "As one of the Eight Great Leaders, you do not think of contributing to the tribe, but instead target the younger generation at every turn."

"You still have the face to come here and cry injustice?"

Mo Basi gritted his teeth.

"Queen, Xiao Chen he..."

Mo Basi still wanted to say something.

"From today on, Xiao Chen will take your place and become one of the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake-People Tribe."

Medusa said indifferently.

Mo Basi's expression changed drastically.

"What?!"

Mo Basi said in disbelief, "On what grounds?"

"On the grounds that he is a Nine-Star Dou Wang."

Medusa said coldly, "And on the grounds that he defeated you with a single palm strike."

"Is this reason enough?"

Mo Basi's face turned deathly pale, and he could not speak.

He knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling.

"Withdraw."

Medusa said indifferently, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave your residence."

Mo Basi stood up, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

He walked out of the great hall, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Xiao Chen.

That piece of trash not only snatched his position as a leader but also gained such high regard from the Queen.

Mo Basi clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his palms.

When Xiao Chen returned to his residence, Yue Mei was sitting inside waiting for him.

"You're back?"

Yue Mei asked.

Xiao Chen nodded and sat down beside her.

"I heard the Queen brought back a young girl from Shimo City to be your concubine."

Yue Mei said.

"I heard."

Xiao Chen said indifferently.

Yue Mei looked at him and was silent for a moment.

"Are you very happy?"

Yue Mei asked.

Xiao Chen glanced at her.

"What, are you jealous?"

Xiao Chen laughed.

Yue Mei snorted.

"Why would I be jealous?"

Yue Mei said indifferently, "You are my husband; if you want to take a concubine, could I even stop you?"

"But I am just curious, what kind of girl is worth the Queen personally going to capture her?"

Xiao Chen's heart stirred.

Shimo City.

A young girl.

Could it be Qing Lin?

"I heard that the girl possesses the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?"

Xiao Chen revealed a smile; it really was the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Yue Mei fell silent.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils—that was a legendary ocular technique.

Those who possess this ocular technique can suppress serpentine magical beasts, or even control them.

Such a talent is extremely rare among the Snake-People Tribe.

"No wonder Queen Medusa wanted to capture her personally."

Yue Mei said, "A talent like this is truly worth it."

Xiao Chen did not speak.

He was thinking about something else entirely.

Qing Lin.

She was one of the love interests of Xiao Yan.

In the original story, Qing Lin was captured by the Snake-People Tribe, later rescued by Xiao Yan, and remained by his side ever since.

Now, Queen Medusa had captured Qing Lin directly to marry her to him.

He had effectively intercepted one of Xiao Yan's love interests ahead of time.

Xiao Chen felt a secret thrill in his heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yue Mei looked at him.

"Nothing."

Xiao Chen smiled, "The Queen seems to treat me quite well."

Yue Mei glanced at him and said nothing.

Look at how smug you are.

That night, Xiao Chen and Yue Mei returned to their room.

Yue Mei closed the door, turned around, and looked at Xiao Chen.

"You are taking a concubine tomorrow."

Yue Mei said.

"Mm."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Tonight..."

Yue Mei said.

Xiao Chen looked at her without speaking.

Yue Mei looked back at him, and the two stared at each other for a moment.

Yue Mei stepped forward and reached out to unfasten her clothes.

Xiao Chen reached out, pulled her toward him.

He swept her into his arms.

Then followed a night of madness.

The next morning, when Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a system voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding, the Multi-Child Multi-Blessing System reward is being calculated."

Xiao Chen quickly focused his mind.

"Host has received a Multi-Child Multi-Blessing reward."

"Distributing..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heavenly Flame, Fallen Heart Flame!"

Xiao Chen sat up abruptly.

Fallen Heart Flame!

The Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

Xiao Chen widened his eyes, his heart filled with wild joy.

Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth.

Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth.

It was even stronger than the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Xiao Chen raised his hand, and a colorless flame appeared in his palm.

The flame burned silently, emitting an extremely high temperature.

This was the Fallen Heart Flame.

The Cultivation Cheat Device can refine the Dou Qi within the body, allowing cultivation speed to multiply.

Xiao Chen clenched his fist, and the flames dissipated.

He glanced at Yue Mei beside him; she was still asleep.

Xiao Chen lay back down, closed his eyes, and felt the changes within his body.

Two types of Heavenly Flame circulated within him, echoing one another.

Green Lotus Core Flame, Fallen Heart Flame.

With these two Heavenly Flames, his strength would be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, the Fallen Heart Flame could accelerate his cultivation.

His cultivation speed would only get faster and faster.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, which were filled with anticipation.

After taking his concubine today, his strength would rise once more.

By then, even if he encountered a peak Dou Emperor, he would have nothing to fear.

Xiao Chen sat up and began to get dressed.

Today was the day he would take his concubine.

Qing Lin.

Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

He had successfully intercepted one of Xiao Yan's love interests.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curled upward slightly.

This feeling was truly damn satisfying.
