Let our master and disciple marry Xiao Chen?

Nalan Jie looked at the two of them and gave a bitter smile.

"Queen Medusa has broken through to the Dou Zong realm."

Nalan Jie said.

Jia Xingtian's expression changed drastically.

"What did you say?"

"Queen Medusa has broken through to the Dou Zong realm."

Nalan Jie said, "She was just here, wounded both me and Sect Leader Yun Yun, and abducted Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran."

Jia Xingtian's face turned deathly pale.

Fa Ma was also stunned.

"Queen Medusa... Dou Zong..."

Fa Ma muttered, his eyes filled with shock.

"What did she come here for?"

Jia Xingtian said in a deep voice.

"I don't know."

Nalan Jie shook his head and said, "After she wounded us, she left with Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran."

"They headed in the direction of the Tagor Desert."

Jia Xingtian fell silent.

Having lived for so many years, he had never felt such fear as he did now.

With Queen Medusa at the Dou Zong level, no one in the Jia Ma Empire was her match.

"We are in trouble now..."

Jia Xingtian said in a deep voice, "Medusa breaking through to the Dou Zong realm is a catastrophe for the Jia Ma Empire."

"If she wants to invade the Jia Ma Empire, we won't be able to stop her at all."

Fa Ma also nodded.

Fa Ma said, "Medusa is a Dou Zong powerhouse; we cannot afford to offend her."

"We can only hope she doesn't go on a killing spree."

Jia Xingtian took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart.

"You should also prepare to respond at any time."

Nalan Jie and Fa Ma nodded.

The three of them left separately.

Tagor Desert.

Snake-People Tribe settlement.

Queen Medusa landed in front of the main hall with Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran.

Several snake-people saw Queen Medusa and hurriedly bowed.

"Queen."

Queen Medusa nodded and led the two of them into the hall.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran were brought into the hall, their internal Dou Qi still suppressed, leaving them unable to muster any strength.

"Medusa, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Yun Yun said coldly.

Queen Medusa sat on her throne and looked at them.

"I already said, I brought you back to the Snake-People Tribe."

Queen Medusa said indifferently.

"Why did you bring us here?"

Yun Yun asked.

Nalan Yanran could not help but speak up as well.

"What exactly do you want?"

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "Even though you are a Dou Zong powerhouse, our Jia Ma Empire is not to be bullied!"

"My teacher is the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, and my grandfather is the head of the Nalan Clan!"

"If you dare to harm us, the Jia Ma Empire will not let you off!"

Queen Medusa looked at her, expressionless.

"Are you finished?"

Medusa said indifferently.

Nalan Yanran's expression shifted.

"You!"

Nalan Yanran wanted to say something more.

Medusa raised her hand, cutting her off.

"I am announcing a decision."

Medusa said, "I am marrying both of you to Xiao Chen so that you may bear offspring for my Snake-People Tribe, continue our lineage, and strengthen the snake tribes."

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran were both stunned.

A moment later, Yun Yun reacted, her face turning livid.

"What did you say?"

Yun Yun asked in disbelief.

"I am marrying you off to Xiao Chen."

Medusa repeated.

"Delusional!"

Yun Yun said coldly, "I am the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect; how could I possibly marry into your Snake-People Tribe?"

"In your dreams!"

Nalan Yanran also shouted angrily, "I would rather die than marry into the Snake-People Tribe!"

Medusa looked at them without speaking.

She raised her hand, and two streams of Dou Qi shot into the bodies of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran.

Both of their expressions changed.

"What did you do?"

Yun Yun said in a deep voice.

"A sealing technique."

Medusa said calmly, "I have sealed your Dou Qi."

"From today on, you cannot use your Dou Qi; you are no different from ordinary people."

Yun Yun's face turned deathly pale.

She sensed the Dou Qi within her body and found that it had indeed been sealed.

No matter how she tried to circulate it, she could not mobilize even a sliver.

"Medusa, you!"

Yun Yun gritted her teeth.

"Don't waste your energy."

Medusa said indifferently, "You cannot break a Dou Zong's sealing technique."

Yun Yun bit her lip and remained silent.

Nalan Yanran also checked the Dou Qi in her body and found it similarly sealed.

Her face turned ashen, her eyes filled with fear.

"Medusa, you cannot treat us like this!"

Nalan Yanran said urgently, "My grandfather will not let you get away with this!"

"The Jia Ma Empire will not let you off either!"

Medusa glanced at her.

"The Jia Ma Empire?"

Medusa said calmly, "The strongest person in your Jia Ma Empire is Jia Xingtian, a peak Dou Huang."

"I am now a Dou Zong; do you know the gap between a Dou Zong and a Dou Huang?"

Nalan Yanran's face went white, and she was unable to speak.

"Take them away."

Medusa said to the snake-people beside her, "Arrange rooms for them and prepare for the wedding to be held on an auspicious day."

"Yes."

Several snake-people replied respectfully.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran were led away.

Both women wanted to resist, but with their Dou Qi sealed, they were completely unable to put up a fight.

They could only be taken away by the Snake-People.

Inside the Stone Hall.

Medusa sat upon her throne, watching the two figures depart.

She leaned back against the throne, the corners of her lips curling upward.

"Dou Zong..."

Medusa murmured, "Truly powerful."

She raised her hand, gazing at her palm.

Back when she was at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, although she was one of the top powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire, she still found it strenuous to face the combined forces of the Misty Cloud Sect and the royal family.

Things were different now.

With strength at the Dou Zong level, she was an invincible existence within the Jia Ma Empire.

Medusa withdrew her gaze, a flicker of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

"Once Xiao Chen marries these two, to what extent will his strength rise?"

Medusa muttered to herself.

"If Xiao Chen can also break through to the Dou Zong realm."

"Then, the Snake-People Tribe will have two Dou Zong powerhouses..."

A flash of excitement crossed Medusa's eyes.

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the distant desert.

"Multi-Child Multi-Blessing..."

Medusa whispered, "It truly is a heaven-sent opportunity."

"My decision back then was the right one."

Xiao Chen was cultivating in an open space deep within the tribe.

The Dou Qi within his body flowed slowly, flames burning through his meridians to refine the energy, doubling his cultivation speed.

The aura of a Six-Star Dou Huang radiated from him, causing the surrounding air to grow heavy.

"Six-Star Dou Huang..."

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, feeling the power within his body, and the corners of his mouth curled upward.

How many days had it been?

Going from a Three-Star Dou Zhe to a Six-Star Dou Huang—no one would believe such speed if he told them.

Xiao Chen clenched his fist, preparing to continue his cultivation, when a figure approached from the distance.

Yue Mei.

"Xiao Chen."

Yue Mei walked up to him and spoke.

"What is it?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Queen wants you to come to the Stone Hall."

Yue Mei said, "She has returned from the human empire and brought back two women to be your concubines."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart stirred.

"So fast?"

Xiao Chen said.

"You know how efficient Queen is."

Yue Mei pouted, her tone tinged with a hint of jealousy.

Xiao Chen looked at her and smiled.

"What, are you jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous?"

Yue Mei huffed, "You already have two wives, and now you're adding two more; do you think I could even keep up?"

Xiao Chen reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Xiao Chen held Yue Mei's slender snake-waist and laughed, "Don't worry, I will share my affection equally and won't neglect you."
