After Xiao Chen and Yue Mei left side by side, they arrived at an open space deep within the tribe.
The surroundings were very quiet.
Xiao Chen looked at Yue Mei and spoke slowly.
"Thanks for what happened just now."
Xiao Chen said.
Regardless of anything else, Yue Mei had, after all, stood up for him in that situation.
Xiao Chen felt he had to express his gratitude in one way or another.
Yue Mei glanced at him and said, "What are you thanking me for?"
"For stepping out and defending me just now."
Xiao Chen said.
Yue Mei gave a bitter smile.
Although she had stood up to defend Xiao Chen just now, she hadn't really been of any help.
She was still no match for Mo Basi.
"Since I have already married you, from now on, I will not allow anyone to speak ill of you."
At the same time, the Second Elder and several other elders gathered together.
They sat around a stone table, their expressions looking very grim.
"You all saw it just now, didn't you?"
The Second Elder said in a deep voice, "Xiao Chen defeated Mo Basi with a single palm strike."
"After taking the Blood Burst Pill, Mo Basi's strength had been raised to a Nine-Star Dou Wang!"
One elder said, his voice filled with disbelief.
Another elder said, "Xiao Chen, wasn't he a Three-Star Dou Zhe before?"
"How did he suddenly become a Nine-Star Dou Wang?"
"What on earth is going on?"
The Second Elder gritted his teeth.
"I can't figure it out either."
The group looked at each other, seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
"Could it be that Queen helped him increase his strength?"
One elder asked tentatively.
"Otherwise, with his trash-level strength as a Three-Star Dou Zhe, how could he have improved so quickly?"
"Impossible."
The Second Elder shook his head and said, "Although Queen is powerful, it is impossible for her to turn a Three-Star Dou Zhe into a Nine-Star Dou Wang overnight."
"Then what is going on?"
The Second Elder was silent for a moment.
"I don't know."
The Second Elder said, "But one thing is certain."
"Xiao Chen is likely no longer the trash he used to be..."
The Second Elder said in a deep voice, "He now has the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Wang."
"In the entire Snake-People Tribe, apart from Queen, I am afraid no one is his match."
The several elders all fell silent.
This information was difficult for them to accept for the moment.
"Then what should we do from now on?"
One elder asked, "We didn't exactly treat him well before."
"What else can we do?"
"He is a Nine-Star Dou Wang; can we really afford to keep offending him?"
After Mo Basi returned to his residence, he collapsed directly onto his bed.
His entire body was covered in wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood.
Several members of the Snake-People Tribe followed him inside, and upon seeing his condition, they were all startled.
"Lord Mo Basi, what happened to you?"
A tribesman said urgently, "Who hurt you like this?"
Mo Basi did not speak.
"Lord Mo Basi, should I go find one of our tribe's physicians?"
Another tribesman asked.
"No need."
Mo Basi said coldly.
"But your injuries are so severe..."
The tribesman still wanted to say something.
"I said no need!"
Mo Basi roared.
The few Snake-People were startled and quickly shut their mouths.
Mo Basi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.
He had lost.
He had lost to Xiao Chen.
He had lost to a piece of trash he had always looked down upon.
"How is this possible..."
Mo Basi muttered, his voice filled with unwillingness.
He could not understand it.
How could that piece of trash Xiao Chen improve his strength so quickly?
"All of you, get out."
Mo Basi said coldly.
The few Snake-People exchanged glances, not daring to say anything more, and quickly retreated.
Only Mo Basi remained in the room.
He closed his eyes, the scene from earlier replaying in his mind.
That palm strike from Xiao Chen had looked ordinary, yet he had been completely unable to resist it.
That power was shockingly strong.
He simply could not withstand it.
"Nine-Star Dou Wang..."
Mo Basi muttered in a low voice.
He clenched his fists, only to helplessly loosen them again.
Mo Basi could not understand it.
A piece of trash who was a Three-Star Dou Zhe.
How on earth did he manage to advance to a Nine-Star Dou Wang so quickly?
He turned over, and the pain from his wounds made him gasp.
"Xiao Chen..."
Mo Basi gritted his teeth as he spat out the name.
That evening, Xiao Chen and Yue Mei returned to their residence.
Yue Mei closed the door and turned to look at Xiao Chen.
Yue Mei's expression was very calm.
Yet, as she looked at Xiao Chen before her, a blush flashed across her cheeks.
This was something no one had ever seen on Yue Mei's face before.
"Xiao Chen."
Yue Mei suddenly spoke.
"Hm?"
Xiao Chen looked at her.
Yue Mei did not speak, simply reaching out to unfasten her clothes.
Xiao Chen watched her without moving.
Yue Mei stepped forward and looked at him.
"Why don't we..."
Yue Mei said with a slight blush, then her body slowly leaned down, pressing against Xiao Chen.
The next morning, when Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.
"Ding, Multi-Child Multi-Blessing reward settlement in progress."
Xiao Chen hurriedly focused his mind.
"Host has completed the task of spreading branches and leaves."
"Distributing rewards..."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Multi-Child Multi-Blessing reward!"
"Host's strength has increased to: Three-Star Dou Huang!"
Xiao Chen sat up abruptly.
Three-Star Dou Huang!
He had jumped directly from a Nine-Star Dou Wang to a Three-Star Dou Huang!
Xiao Chen clenched his fists, feeling a surging, majestic power within his body.
That was the power of the Dou Huang level.
It was countless times stronger than a Nine-Star Dou Wang.
"Three-Star Dou Huang..."
Xiao Chen muttered in a low voice, the corners of his mouth unable to stop curling upward.
He glanced at Yue Mei beside him; she was still asleep.
Xiao Chen lay back down, closed his eyes, and felt the power within his body.
Three-Star Dou Huang.
Within the Snake-People Tribe, apart from the Queen, he no longer had any rivals.
Moreover, this was only the beginning.
Once the Queen returned from the human empire and allowed him to successfully take her as a concubine, Xiao Chen's strength would be able to skyrocket once again.
He believed that as long as he was given enough time.
Let alone a Dou Huang expert, even a Dou Ancestor would be nothing to fear.
Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation.
He sat up, walked to the window, and pushed it open.
The morning air rushed in, carrying a dry scent.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
The power of a Three-Star Dou Huang flowed through his body, making him feel full of strength.
Xiao Chen said in a low voice, "The system truly did not disappoint me."
He turned around and looked at Yue Mei, who was still asleep.
This woman, from her initial disdain to her current protection of him.
The change was indeed significant.
Xiao Chen walked back to the bedside and sat down.
Yue Mei turned over but did not wake up.
Xiao Chen looked at her without speaking.
In his mind, the system panel displayed a few lines of text.
Host: Xiao Chen
Strength: Three-Star Dou Huang
Wife: Yue Mei (Eight-Star Dou Wang)
Xiao Chen looked at the panel, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
Just at this moment.
Yue Mei, still in her dreams, noticed the surging of Dou Qi within her body and suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
She immediately woke up in a start.
Yue Mei discovered that her own strength had actually increased as well!
Her expression was one of complete shock.
