Inside the Stone Hall.
Queen Medusa sat upon her throne, her fingers tapping lightly against the armrest.
Seeing Xiao Chen walk in, she lifted her head.
"You've arrived?"
Queen Medusa said indifferently.
"My Queen."
Xiao Chen cupped his fists and said, "I heard you brought back two women from the human empire?"
"That is correct."
Queen Medusa nodded and said, "Two, just as I promised you."
"I will arrange the grand wedding for you in two days."
Xiao Chen cupped his fists and said, "Many thanks, my Queen."
Queen Medusa waved her hand.
"There is no need to thank me."
Queen Medusa said, "The stronger you are, the more beneficial it is for the Snake-People Tribe."
"I do this for the tribe as well."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"My Queen, I would like to see those two women."
Xiao Chen said.
Queen Medusa glanced at him and stood up.
"Follow me."
After saying this, Queen Medusa walked out of the Stone Hall.
Xiao Chen followed behind her.
The two passed through several corridors and arrived in front of a room.
Queen Medusa pushed open the door and walked inside.
Xiao Chen followed her in, and upon seeing the two people in the room, he froze.
Yun Yun.
Nalan Yanran.
The master and disciple sat on the edge of the bed, their expressions looking quite unpleasant.
Seeing Queen Medusa walk in, Yun Yun stood up.
"Medusa, how long exactly do you intend to keep us locked up?"
Yun Yun said coldly.
Queen Medusa ignored her and instead looked toward Xiao Chen.
"These are them."
Queen Medusa said indifferently, "The Misty Cloud Sect leader, Yun Yun, and her disciple, Nalan Yanran."
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them, his heart blooming with joy.
It was actually these two.
Yun Yun, a Dou Huang powerhouse and leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Nalan Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Nalan Clan and Xiao Yan's fiancée.
No, that should be his former fiancée.
The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curled upward slightly.
This was truly an unexpected delight.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran also noticed Xiao Chen.
"Who is he?"
Yun Yun frowned and said.
"He is Xiao Chen."
Queen Medusa said indifferently, "The man you are to marry."
Yun Yun's expression changed.
"It's him?"
Yun Yun said coldly, "A member of the Snake-People Tribe wants to marry me?"
Nalan Yanran also furrowed her brows, looking Xiao Chen up and down.
"Make me and my teacher marry him?"
Nalan Yanran said unhappily, "What right does he have?"
Medusa did not speak.
Xiao Chen did not speak either.
Just as Nalan Yanran was about to continue, she suddenly sensed something.
Her expression changed.
"Your... your strength..."
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
She could feel it.
The aura on Xiao Chen was very strong.
It was stronger than any of the younger generation she had ever seen.
Even her teacher, Yun Yun, was far behind Xiao Chen.
"Dou... Dou Huang?"
Yun Yun felt it too.
She looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with shock.
Dou Huang.
This Snake-People Tribe member, who did not look very old, was actually a powerhouse at the Dou Huang level.
And not just a beginner Dou Huang of one or two stars.
He was at least a Six-Star Dou Huang.
"How is this possible..."
Yun Yun muttered.
The youngest Dou Huang in the Jia Ma Empire was over thirty years old.
Yet Xiao Chen looked at most twenty.
A twenty-year-old Six-Star Dou Huang?
This talent was simply shocking.
Medusa watched their reactions, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
"Xiao Chen's strength is already that of a Six-Star Dou Huang."
Medusa said indifferently, "Furthermore, it took him less than a month to advance from a Dou Zhe to a Six-Star Dou Huang."
Yun Yun's expression changed drastically.
"Less than a month?"
Yun Yun said incredulously, "That's impossible!"
"Even a peerless genius couldn't advance from a Dou Zhe to a Dou Huang in a month."
Medusa looked at her and said calmly, "I have no need to lie to you."
Yun Yun fell silent.
She looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Less than a month, from a Dou Zhe to a Six-Star Dou Huang.
What kind of monster was this?
Nalan Yanran was also stunned.
She looked at Xiao Chen, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She had broken off her engagement with Xiao Yan precisely because Xiao Yan was a loser.
But now, Medusa was asking her to marry a Six-Star Dou Huang.
And such a young Six-Star Dou Huang at that.
Nalan Yanran bit her lip and said nothing.
Medusa continued, "By marrying Xiao Chen, your strength will also be able to improve."
"This is a tremendous stroke of fortune; do not be ungrateful."
Yun Yun frowned.
"Strength improvement?"
Yun Yun asked, "What do you mean?"
"Marry Xiao Chen, and your strength will be able to improve."
Medusa said, "I have no need to explain that much to you."
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.
Marrying Xiao Chen could increase their strength?
That was nonsense.
But Medusa was a Dou Zong powerhouse; she had no reason to lie to them.
Yun Yun's heart was full of questions, but Medusa did not continue to explain.
"Prepare yourselves well; the grand wedding will be in two days."
After saying this, Medusa turned and left.
Xiao Chen glanced at the two of them and followed her out.
Only Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran remained in the room.
"Teacher, do you think... what Medusa said is true?"
Nalan Yanran asked in a low voice.
"Can our strength really increase by marrying that Xiao Chen?"
Yun Yun was silent for a moment.
"I don't know."
Yun Yun said, "But Medusa is a Dou Zong powerhouse, and she has already sealed our strength; there is indeed no need for her to lie to us."
"Besides, that Xiao Chen is indeed a Six-Star Dou Huang."
Nalan Yanran bit her lip.
"Then... do we really have to marry him?"
Nalan Yanran asked.
Yun Yun did not speak.
At night.
Xiao Chen returned to Qing Lin's residence.
Qing Lin was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him.
"You're back?"
Qing Lin asked.
Xiao Chen nodded and sat down beside her.
"I heard that Queen brought back two more women."
Qing Lin said, her tone carrying a hint of jealousy.
"I heard."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Qing Lin looked at him and bit her lip.
"Are you very happy?"
Qing Lin asked.
Xiao Chen smiled and reached out to pull her into his arms.
"What, are you jealous too?"
"No..."
Qing Lin lowered her head, her face turning slightly red.
Xiao Chen looked at her, feeling a sense of anticipation in his heart.
If he married Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, what kind of rewards would he receive?
Yun Yun was a Dou Huang powerhouse.
Although Nalan Yanran was a bit weaker, her talent was excellent.
By marrying them, his strength should skyrocket.
He might even be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm.
Xiao Chen felt a surge of excitement.
He lowered his head and looked at Qing Lin in his arms.
"Tonight..."
Xiao Chen said.
Qing Lin looked up at him, her face turning even redder.
Xiao Chen reached out and gently pushed Qing Lin down.
Qing Lin let out a soft cry, offering no resistance.
A night of intimacy followed.
The next morning.
When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a mechanical 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 completed the task of spreading branches and leaves, rewards are being distributed..."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the tier 6 medicinal pill, the Huangji Pill."
Xiao Chen felt a jolt in his heart.
The Huangji Pill?
A tier 6 medicinal pill that could help a Dou Huang expert increase their strength by one star.
He glanced at Qing Lin beside him; she was still asleep.
Xiao Chen sat up and put on his clothes.
Just then, Qing Lin woke up as well.
She opened her eyes, felt the Dou Qi within her body, and her expression changed.
"My... my strength..."
Qing Lin said in disbelief.
"Did you break through to Dou Ling?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"One-star Dou Ling..."
Qing Lin murmured, her eyes filled with shock.
She had been a nine-star Da Dou Shi before, and overnight, she had broken through to a one-star Dou Ling.
Qing Lin looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Could it be because of Xiao Chen again...
