Marrying a wife and taking concubines, Xiao Yixian?

"The Dou Technique in Medusa's hands is definitely at the Earth Tier."

He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Nalan Jie sighed.

"It's useless to talk about that now."

"Medusa is a Dou Ancestor, and that Xiao Chen is also a Dou Ancestor."

"We are no match for either one of them."

Jia Xingtian gave a bitter smile.

"Xiao Chen..."

He muttered the name.

"To be a Dou Ancestor at such a young age, and a Tier 7 Alchemist to boot."

"Why must someone like that be born into the Snake-People Tribe? If only he were from our human empire..."

Yun Shan stood there, the unwillingness on his face practically overflowing.

He had finally managed to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm.

First, he was defeated by a single palm strike from Xiao Chen.

Then, he was sent flying by a palm strike from Medusa.

He had gone to the Snake-People Tribe twice, and both times he had returned in defeat.

Yun Shan clenched his fists.

But what could he do, even with his unwillingness?

The strength of the Snake-People Tribe was no longer something he could shake.

Jia Xingtian leaned back against his chair and closed his eyes.

"Forget it."

"Do not provoke the Snake-People Tribe again in the future."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Nalan Jie nodded.

"Old Jia is right."

"Those two Dou Ancestors of the Snake-People Tribe are not people we can deal with."

Yun Shan did not speak, but he did not refute the statement either.

The great hall fell quiet.

At dusk.

Xiao Chen left the Snake-People Tribe alone and arrived in the desert.

He unfurled his Dou Qi wings and flew at a low altitude.

His gaze swept across the sand dunes, searching for medicinal herbs.

He had used up quite a bit of his stock in his system inventory and needed to replenish it.

Sea Buckthorn Root.

Sun Vine.

Desert Lotus.

These few items could only be found deep in the desert.

Xiao Chen landed on a sand dune, bent down, and pulled a medicinal herb from the sand.

Sun Vine.

He stored the Sun Vine in his system inventory and continued forward.

He found a few more Sea Buckthorn Roots.

He collected them one by one.

Continuing onward, he found two Desert Lotuses.

He collected those as well.

The medicinal herbs in his system inventory were once again well-stocked.

Xiao Chen unleashed his Dou Qi and flew back in the direction of the tribe.

Moti Mercenary Group base.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li sat inside their tent.

The two of them had just received the news that Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan had joined forces to attack the Snake-People Tribe, only to return in a crushing defeat.

"Even Jia Xingtian and the old sect master Yun Shan were defeated when working together."

Xiao Li said, his tone filled with shock.

"Just how strong have those two Dou Ancestors of the Snake-People Tribe become?"

Xiao Ding remained silent.

He recalled the day Qing Lin was taken away by Queen Medusa.

At that time, Queen Medusa had merely stood there, and the aura she exuded had rendered them unable to even move.

"Queen Medusa was already a peak Dou Emperor to begin with."

Xiao Ding said.

"Now that she has broken through to the Dou Ancestor realm, her strength is naturally even greater."

Xiao Li shook his head.

"It's not just Queen Medusa."

"I heard that the Snake-Person named Xiao Chen is even stronger than Queen Medusa."

Xiao Ding's brows furrowed even tighter.

Xiao Chen.

He had never heard this name before.

When did such a young Dou Ancestor emerge from the Snake-People Tribe?

Xiao Li continued.

"Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan couldn't even withstand a single move from Queen Medusa."

"And that Xiao Chen hadn't even made a move yet."

"If he had joined in, I'm afraid none of those experts from the Jia Ma Empire would have made it back."

Xiao Ding took a deep breath.

The strength of the Snake-People Tribe had far exceeded their imagination.

"Forget it."

Xiao Ding said.

"These matters are not for us to manage."

Xiao Li nodded.

Both of them fell silent.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance.

They both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The Snake-People Tribe had two Dou Ancestors.

Once this news spread, it would inevitably shake the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Several days later.

Xiao Chen arrived at the Tagor Desert.

He planned to make a trip to Shimo City to purchase some medicinal herbs.

Upon reaching Shimo City, he toured the pharmacies in the city and bought the herbs he needed.

Just as he was preparing to return, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

[New mission released: Take a wife or concubine, target Xiao Yi Xian, gain the initial favor of Xiao Yi Xian, reward: Multi-Child Multi-Blessing once.]

Xiao Chen looked at the prompt on the system panel and chose to accept it immediately.

He pulled back his thoughts, unleashed his Dou Qi, and flew in the direction of Qingshan Town.

Qingshan Town.

Xiao Chen landed outside the town, suppressed his aura, and walked inside.

He hadn't walked far before he saw a crowd of people gathered ahead.

He walked over and saw Xiao Yi Xian crouching on the ground, bandaging the wounds of an injured mercenary.

The mercenary had a deep, bone-exposed gash on his arm, and Xiao Yi Xian carefully applied medicinal herbs before wrapping it with cloth strips.

"Alright, don't let it touch water for the next few days."

Xiao Yi Xian said.

"Many thanks, Miss Xiao Yi Xian."

The mercenary hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this arm of mine would have been ruined."

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head.

"It was just a small favor."

She stood up and went to treat the wounds of another mercenary.

Several mercenaries gathered around her, their eyes filled with gratitude.

"Miss Xiao Yi Xian has such a kind heart; whenever us rough men get hurt, we rely entirely on her for treatment."

One mercenary said.

"That's right, if it weren't for Xiao Yi Xian, who knows how many of us would have died by now."

Another mercenary chimed in.

Xiao Chen stood outside the crowd, watching Xiao Yi Xian's busy figure.

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Move aside, all of you."

Several mercenaries were pushed away as Mu Li walked over with a few of his men.

A lecherous smile hung on Mu Li's face.

"Xiao Yi Xian, come with me."

Mu Li said.

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at him, her expression darkening.

"I don't have time."

Xiao Yi Xian said indifferently.

"You don't have time?"

Mu Li sneered.

"My father is the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. You dare to refuse when I ask you to come with me?"

Xiao Yi Xian ignored him and continued to treat the mercenary's wounds.

Mu Li's face sank.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

He stepped forward and reached out to grab Xiao Yi Xian's wrist.

Xiao Yi Xian stepped back, dodging his grasp.

"Mu Li, don't go too far."

Xiao Yi Xian said coldly.

"Too far?"

Mu Li laughed.

"There isn't a woman in Qingshan Town that I, Mu Li, have set my sights on and failed to obtain."

He waved his hand.

"Take her away."

Several of his men immediately surrounded her.

The mercenaries who had just been treated by Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward.

"Young Master Mu Li, Miss Xiao Yi Xian is unwilling, so please don't force her."

One mercenary said.

"Get lost."

Mu Li slapped the mercenary across the face.

The mercenary staggered back two steps, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

The expressions of the other mercenaries changed, but none dared to speak again.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group held significant power in Qingshan Town, and they could not afford to offend them.

Mu Li's men surrounded Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian's face turned pale, but she did not back down.

Just then, Xiao Chen walked out from the crowd.

He walked up to Xiao Yi Xian and stood in front of her.

Mu Li frowned when he saw Xiao Chen.

"What kind of thing are you?"

Mu Li said coldly.

Xiao Chen looked at him without saying a word.

"I'm asking you a question."

Mu Li said.

"If you know what's good for you, get lost and stop meddling in other people's business."

Xiao Chen still did not speak.

Mu Li's expression darkened.

"You're courting death."

He waved his hand.

"Get him."

Several subordinates immediately rushed toward Xiao Chen.

One mercenary drew his blade and slashed toward Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

The mercenary flew backward, crashed heavily onto the ground, and breathed his last on the spot.

The other subordinates were stunned.

Xiao Chen did not give them time to react.

He struck out with several more palms.

All the subordinates fell to the ground; two were killed instantly, and the rest lay on the ground wailing.

Mu Li's expression changed drastically.
