Snake-People Tribe.
Xiao Chen stood in the middle of the main hall, dressed in a red robe.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran stood beside him in red wedding dresses.
Neither of them looked very happy.
Yun Yun's face was expressionless, her eyes filled with coldness.
Nalan Yanran bit her lip, her heart full of resentment.
Queen Medusa sat at the head of the hall, watching the three of them.
The First Elder stood to one side, ready to announce the ceremony's completion.
Just then, a Snake-Person hurried inside.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
The Snake-Person spoke urgently, his voice trembling.
Medusa furrowed her brows.
"What is it?"
Medusa asked coldly.
"A powerful expert is approaching the Snake-People Tribe. His aura is strong. I'm afraid he's a Dou Zong."
The Snake-Person said.
Medusa's expression darkened.
"A Dou Zong?"
Medusa rose to her feet, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes.
"I'll go take a look."
After speaking, Medusa flashed away, flying toward the outskirts of the tribe.
Outside the tribe.
Medusa landed and looked into the distance.
Several figures flew toward her from afar and landed in front of her.
At their head was a white-haired man in a white robe, radiating a terrifying aura.
A Dou Zong.
A trace of caution flashed in Medusa's eyes.
"Who are you?"
Medusa asked coldly.
"Yun Shan of the Misty Cloud Sect."
Yun Shan said calmly. "Queen Medusa, I've heard much about you."
Medusa's expression changed.
Yun Shan?
She had always thought he had perished.
She hadn't expected him to have broken through to the Dou Zong realm.
Medusa looked at him without speaking.
Behind Yun Shan stood Yun Leng and several other elders.
Gu He was among the group as well.
"Queen Medusa, hand over Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran."
Yun Shan said calmly. "I can let bygones be bygones."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid the Snake-People Tribe will pay the price."
Medusa gave a cold laugh.
"Hand over Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran?"
Medusa said icily. "They are already members of my tribe. How could I hand them over to you?"
"Yun Shan, though you are a Dou Zong, so am I."
"If you want to take them from me, it won't be easy."
Yun Shan's expression darkened.
"In that case, I'll have no choice but to fight."
After speaking, Yun Shan struck at Medusa with his palm.
Medusa raised her hand and met his attack.
"Bang!"
Their palms collided with a muffled thud.
Both of them staggered back several steps before steadying themselves.
Medusa's expression was grave.
Yun Shan was also a Dou Zong, and his strength was no less than hers.
Yun Shan looked at Medusa, a trace of caution flashing in his eyes as well.
"Queen Medusa, you truly live up to your reputation."
Yun Shan said calmly. "But today, I will take Yun Yun and Yanran with me."
"Then try."
Medusa said coldly.
The two attacked again, their Dou Qi colliding with a series of deafening booms.
The Snake-People and the Misty Cloud Sect members nearby retreated, not daring to approach.
They couldn't interfere in a battle between Dou Zong experts.
Yun Leng watched the fight in the distance, his expression grave.
"Can the old sect master win?"
An elder asked in a low voice.
"Hard to say."
Yun Leng said solemnly. "Medusa is a Dou Zong too. They're evenly matched."
"It seems taking the Sect Master and Yanran away won't be easy today."
Gu He stood to one side without speaking.
He watched the battle in the distance, his brows tightly furrowed.
Inside the Stone Hall of the Snake-People Tribe.
Xiao Chen stood in the middle of the main hall, looking outside.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran were also looking outside, their expressions complicated.
"Teacher, someone has come to rescue us."
Nalan Yanran said, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
Yun Yun nodded without speaking.
She could sense a familiar aura.
It was her teacher, Yun Shan.
"It's your grandmaster."
Yun Yun said, her voice trembling.
Nalan Yanran was taken aback.
"Grandmaster? Old Sect Master Yun Shan?"
Nalan Yanran asked in disbelief. "Wasn't he already...?"
"He's still alive."
Yun Yun said. "And he's already a Dou Zong."
A trace of delight flashed in Nalan Yanran's eyes.
"Grandmaster has come to save us."
Nalan Yanran said, then looked at Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, did you hear that? My grandmaster is a Dou Zong expert."
Nalan Yanran said coldly. "If you dare lay a hand on us, my grandmaster won't let you get away with it."
Xiao Chen looked at her without speaking.
"I suggest you let us go."
Nalan Yanran said. "Otherwise, the Snake-People Tribe will be in trouble."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Are you finished?"
Nalan Yanran's expression changed.
"You..."
Nalan Yanran was about to say something more.
Xiao Chen ignored her and looked at Yun Yun instead.
"Let's go."
Xiao Chen said.
Yun Yun looked at him, frowning.
"Where?"
Yun Yun asked.
"To the bridal chamber."
Xiao Chen said.
Yun Yun's expression changed.
"You..."
Yun Yun was about to speak.
Xiao Chen reached out, took Yun Yun's hand, and led her toward the bridal chamber.
Nalan Yanran stood frozen in place, her face livid.
"Xiao Chen, let go of my teacher!"
Nalan Yanran cried urgently.
Xiao Chen ignored her.
"Xiao Chen, if you dare touch my teacher, I'll never forgive you!"
Nalan Yanran shouted angrily.
Without looking back, Xiao Chen kept walking.
"Xiao Chen, did you hear me?"
Nalan Yanran shouted. "My grandmaster won't let you get away with this. The Misty Cloud Sect won't let you get away with this either!"
Xiao Chen paid her no mind.
Nalan Yanran tried to catch up, but several Snake-People blocked her way.
"What are you doing? Move!"
Nalan Yanran shouted angrily.
The Snake-People didn't budge.
Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth, able only to watch Xiao Chen lead Yun Yun away.
Inside the bridal chamber.
Xiao Chen closed the door and looked at Yun Yun.
Yun Yun stood in the room, her expression troubled.
"Xiao Chen, you..."
Yun Yun was about to speak.
Xiao Chen stepped forward and put an arm around her waist.
Yun Yun shuddered and tried to push him away.
But her hand stopped halfway.
She looked at Xiao Chen, a complicated feeling welling up inside her.
This man was a Snake-Person.
An enemy of humankind.
But his gaze left her unable to bring herself to refuse, and she didn't know why...
Yun Yun bit her lip, torn inside.
She had meant to refuse.
But for some reason, her hands wouldn't push Xiao Chen away.
Xiao Chen lowered his head and kissed her.
Yun Yun closed her eyes. At first, she struggled fiercely, but then...
The two fell onto the bed.
Yun Yun's face flushed red, and her breathing grew uneven.
She wanted to push Xiao Chen away, but her hands had no strength.
"Don't..."
Yun Yun whispered, her voice trembling.
Xiao Chen did not stop.
Yun Yun bit her lip and said nothing more.
The night passed.
Yun Yun leaned against Xiao Chen's chest, her face flushed as she panted softly.
She had never imagined that she would end up like this with a Snake-Person.
And she had been abducted to the Snake-People Tribe and forced to marry him.
Yet for some reason, she felt not the slightest trace of disgust toward what had happened the previous night.
Yun Yun closed her eyes and stopped thinking about it.
The next morning.
When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.
"Ding! Calculating rewards from the Multi-Child Multi-Blessing System."
Xiao Chen quickly focused.
[Host has completed taking a wife and concubine. Reward: cultivation base of a Three-Star Dou Zong.]
