The Queen is going to take a concubine for Xiao Chen?

"Satisfied."

Xiao Chen said.

"Then how will you thank me?"

Yue Mei leaned in closer and asked softly.

Xiao Chen looked at her without answering.

He reached out and pushed Yue Mei down onto the bed.

Yue Mei let out a soft cry, caught off guard.

Xiao Chen had already leaned over her.

Yue Mei's face flushed slightly, and she did not resist.

The candlelight flickered, casting shadows on the wall.

A long while later, Yue Mei leaned against Xiao Chen's side, a blush still lingering on her face.

"Tell me, what kind of woman do you think the Queen will find for you this time?"

Yue Mei asked.

"I don't know."

Xiao Chen said, "But whatever the Queen chooses, it shouldn't be bad."

"Aren't you afraid I'll be jealous?"

Yue Mei chuckled softly.

Xiao Chen lay back and looked at the ceiling.

Nine-Star Dou Wang.

This was only the beginning.

Once the Queen returned and he took a concubine, his strength would rise again.

By then, he might even be able to break through to the Dou Emperor realm.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

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

Xiao Chen was stunned and quickly focused his mind.

"Host has united with Yue Mei, completing the wife-taking mission."

"System rewards are being issued..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heavenly Flame, the Green Lotus Core Flame!"

Green Lotus Core Flame?

The Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking?

Xiao Chen widened his eyes, his heart filled with extreme excitement.

A Heavenly Flame!

In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, Heavenly Flames were treasures that all alchemists and powerhouses dreamed of.

Xiao Chen looked at the cyan flame in his palm, the corners of his mouth curling upward uncontrollably.

With the Green Lotus Core Flame, his strength would increase significantly.

The power of a Heavenly Flame was enough to make a Nine-Star Dou Wang rival a One-Star Dou Emperor.

Or perhaps even stronger.

"As expected of the system..."

Xiao Chen whispered, his eyes full of excitement.

Just then, Yue Mei beside him also woke up.

She sat up, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly froze.

"This..."

Yue Mei's expression changed, her eyes filled with shock.

She could feel that the Dou Qi within her body was much stronger than it had been yesterday.

No, not just much stronger—it had increased by a huge margin.

Yue Mei quickly looked inward to check her cultivation level.

A moment later, her expression changed completely.

"Eight-Star Dou Wang?"

Yue Mei muttered in disbelief.

She remembered clearly that she had been a Seven-Star Dou Wang just yesterday.

Furthermore, she had been stuck at the bottleneck of the Seven-Star Dou Wang realm for a very long time.

She hadn't even reached the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Wang realm.

How could she have broken through to an Eight-Star Dou Wang overnight?

"How is this possible..."

Yue Mei said in shock.

She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the Dou Qi within her body.

That was right, it was indeed an Eight-Star Dou Wang.

Moreover, the density of her Dou Qi was even stronger than that of an ordinary Eight-Star Dou Wang.

Yue Mei opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Chen beside her.

"What exactly is going on?"

Yue Mei asked, her voice filled with bewilderment.

Xiao Chen looked at her and smiled.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"I've broken through to an Eight-Star Dou Wang."

Yue Mei said, "I was a Seven-Star Dou Wang last night, and today I've become an Eight-Star Dou Wang."

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Chen's heart stirred.

Did the system reward not only give him the Heavenly Flame but also improve Yue Mei's strength?

Xiao Chen thought about it and felt it must be the feedback effect of the Multi-Child Multi-Blessing System.

The system had previously stated that when he improved his own strength, there was a chance to provide feedback to those around him.

It seemed Yue Mei was the beneficiary.

"What do you think is the reason?"

Xiao Chen asked.

Yue Mei looked at him, her eyes filled with suspicion.

"Could it be... because of you?"

Yue Mei asked tentatively.

Xiao Chen did not speak.

Yue Mei stared at him for a long time, then shook her head.

"That shouldn't be it."

Yue Mei said, "How could it be because of you that I broke through the bottleneck."

"I must be overthinking it."

After saying this, Yue Mei got up and put on her clothes.

She walked to the door and looked back at Xiao Chen.

"I'm heading out first."

Yue Mei said.

Xiao Chen nodded.

After Yue Mei left, Xiao Chen raised his hand, and a cyan flame appeared once again.

"Green Lotus Core Flame..."

Xiao Chen muttered, "With this, even against a Dou Emperor expert, I have the power to put up a fight."

He clenched his fist, and the flames dissipated.

In the Snake-People Tribe, a figure walked over from a distance.

Mo Basi.

One of the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake-People Tribe, with the strength of an Eight-Star Dou Wang.

He had been guarding the perimeter for many days and had only returned to the tribe today.

Just as he entered the tribe, Mo Basi sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

The looks the tribesmen gave him were all somewhat strange.

Mo Basi frowned and stopped a tribesman.

"What happened?"

Mo Basi asked.

The tribesman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Lord Mo Basi, are you not aware yet?"

"Lady Yue Mei... has gotten married."

Mo Basi's expression changed.

"Married?"

Mo Basi exclaimed, "Married to whom?"

"Xiao Chen."

The tribesman said.

Mo Basi was stunned.

Xiao Chen?

That trash of a Three-Star Dou Zhe?

"What did you say?"

Mo Basi said in disbelief, "Yue Mei married Xiao Chen?"

"Yes."

The tribesman nodded, "It was the Queen's order; the wedding was held just yesterday."

Mo Basi's face turned livid.

Without another word, he turned and headed straight toward Yue Mei's residence.

Yue Mei had just stepped out of her residence when she saw Mo Basi walking toward her.

"Mo Basi?"

Yue Mei was slightly taken aback, "You've returned?"

Mo Basi looked at her, his expression grim.

"Yue Mei, I heard you married Xiao Chen?"

Mo Basi asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Yue Mei said indifferently.

"Why?"

Mo Basi said urgently, "Even if it was the Queen's order, he isn't worthy!"

"He's a Three-Star Dou Zhe trash, what right does he have to marry you?"

Yue Mei frowned.

"Mo Basi, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you."

Yue Mei said coldly.

Just then, Xiao Chen walked out of the residence.

When Mo Basi saw Xiao Chen, a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

"You are Xiao Chen?"

Mo Basi said coldly.

Xiao Chen looked at him and said calmly, "I am."

"What right do you have to marry Yue Mei?"

Mo Basi gritted his teeth, "You are a Three-Star Dou Zhe trash, what qualifications do you have?"

"You have no qualifications!"

Xiao Chen looked at him without saying a word.

Mo Basi possessed the strength of an Eight-Star Dou Wang and was indeed a top-tier expert among the Snake-People Tribe.

But to the current Xiao Chen, an Eight-Star Dou Wang... meant nothing.

"Mo Basi, that's enough."

Yue Mei said coldly, "Xiao Chen is my husband, watch your tone."

"Yue Mei, you..."

Mo Basi looked at her in disbelief.

"I said, this is my business."

Yue Mei said indifferently, "Whether Xiao Chen is worthy or not is not for you to decide."

Mo Basi's face turned livid.

He looked at Yue Mei, then glanced at Xiao Chen, the hostility in his eyes intensifying.

Just then, Second Elder walked over.

"Mo Basi, you've returned?"

Second Elder smiled.

"Second Elder."

Mo Basi said in a deep voice.

Second Elder took a look at Xiao Chen, then at Yue Mei, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"Mo Basi, you don't know yet, do you?"

Second Elder said, "Her Majesty the Queen has already gone to the human empire in person."

"What is she doing in the human empire?"

Mo Basi frowned.

"To help Xiao Chen take a concubine."

Second Elder said indifferently.

Mo Basi's expression changed drastically.

"What?!"
