Medusa Leaves, Heading to Heavenly Snake Mansion

Through last night's fierce battle, Tang Chen felt that Medusa seemed to have something on her mind.

Seeing the conflicted look on her face this morning only confirmed his guess.

After their many intimate encounters, Tang Chen had long figured out Medusa's temperament. Seeing her like this, he guessed that she had something to ask of him, so he asked bluntly, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"It's about the Snake-People Tribe's recent relocation. I... can I go back for a while?" Medusa voiced her request, her tone carrying a faint hint of coquettishness.

"You're my personal maid. If you leave, who will serve me?" Tang Chen said with a faint smile.

Seeing Tang Chen refuse, Medusa's disappointment was plainly visible.

However, Tang Chen changed the subject, lifting Medusa's chin with a mischievous smile. "It's not impossible for me to let you go back. But first, you'll have to satisfy me."

Seeing Tang Chen's wicked expression and the suggestive look in his eyes, Medusa, who had already gained some experience, naturally understood what he meant.

Her little face reddened as she slowly lowered her proud head and began skillfully and earnestly getting to work.

Two hours later, Medusa moved her sore, numb lips and looked at Tang Chen with resentment in her eyes.

Tang Chen was quite satisfied with Medusa's service and teased, "Not bad. Keep up the good work next time."

Medusa felt so embarrassed she could die. As the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, she had actually...

Seeing how embarrassed Medusa was, Tang Chen stopped teasing her. He took something from his Storage Ring and handed it to her. "Take this."

"This is?" Medusa looked at the item in her hand, her face showing a trace of confusion.

"A Space Jade Slip I refined. If you're in danger, crush it. Once I sense it, I'll immediately come to your side..." Tang Chen explained calmly and unhurriedly.

Holding the item Tang Chen had given her, Medusa felt warmth rise in her heart. Her eyes, as she looked at Tang Chen, were filled with tenderness.

Medusa was not very good at expressing herself and preferred practical actions. She directly planted a kiss on Tang Chen's lips, displaying all the dominance of a queen.

Their lips parted at once. Medusa fought back her embarrassment, left behind a word of thanks, and fled in a fluster.

Tang Chen licked his lips and said with a smile, "This little queen is quite shy."

After Medusa left, Tang Chen spread his soul power across the entire residence. Qing Lin was cultivating, while Xiao Yi Xian was still in seclusion, digesting her inheritance.

"It's time to visit Heavenly Snake Mansion." Tang Chen pondered for a moment before speaking softly.

Previously, Tang Chen had still been somewhat uncertain, but now that he had broken through to Dou Zun, he had little to worry about.

After saying that, Tang Chen was just about to tear open space.

As though he had sensed something, his hand paused.

Then his figure flashed, and he instantly arrived outside the imperial capital.

"I was just about to look for you, yet you delivered yourself right to my door." The corners of Tang Chen's lips rose as he teased the woman before him.

Lv Man was startled by Tang Chen's sudden appearance and hurriedly pulled away from him. She asked fearfully, "Y-you... who are you?"

"Don't worry. You'll soon find out what I want." Tang Chen offered no further explanation and reached out with one hand toward Lv Man.

"Not good!" Feeling a terrifying pressure, Lv Man was greatly alarmed. She immediately used Dou Qi Transformation Wings and fled at top speed.

Yet no matter how she flew, she could not move even an inch. Instead, the distance between her and Tang Chen steadily shrank.

Tang Chen tore open a spatial rift, grabbed Lv Man, and stepped inside.

Heavenly Snake Mansion.

A rift appeared in the sky above Heavenly Snake Mansion, and Tang Chen emerged from it, with the immobile Lv Man still dangling from his hand.

Tang Chen stood in the void as the pressure of a Dou Zun burst forth from his body, instantly enveloping the entire Heavenly Snake Mansion.

Inside a secret chamber within Heavenly Snake Mansion, an old woman sat cross-legged. Sensing Tang Chen's pressure, her aged eyes slowly opened, and her figure instantly vanished from the chamber.

Tang Chen did not wait long before two figures appeared before him. After sensing them, he found that one was a middle-aged woman with the strength of an eight-star Dou Zong, while the other was an old woman around the strength of a two-star Dou Zun. However, this Dou Zun's blood and qi had declined, leaving her pathetically weak.

Seeing Tang Chen's youthful face, the old woman's expression immediately changed in shock.

Not daring to be negligent, she came before Tang Chen and bowed. "Friend, may I ask what brings you to Heavenly Snake Mansion today?"

"Is this person from Heavenly Snake Mansion?" Tang Chen's expression remained calm as he tossed Lv Man before the two women as though throwing away trash.

After receiving confirmation from the middle-aged woman, the old woman carefully asked, "She is indeed from Heavenly Snake Mansion. Did she offend you in some way, sir? I apologize on her behalf. Please name whatever compensation you require, so long as it is within our power."

The old woman did not become arrogant just because she was one star higher than Tang Chen.

First, she was already old, and her strength had long declined from its peak. There was no way she could be Tang Chen's match.

Second, such a young Dou Zun could not possibly lack a powerful force behind him. He was certainly not someone a mere Dou Zun like her could afford to provoke.

Therefore, to stay alive, her attitude was exceedingly humble.

"I want all of Heavenly Snake Mansion's research materials regarding the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils." Tang Chen did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Could it be that someone by your side possesses the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?" the old woman asked tentatively.

Tang Chen was not afraid of her knowing and directly nodded.

"That's wonderful! Why not send her to Heavenly Snake Mansion? Our research into the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils is the most thorough. Here, her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils will receive the finest cultivation."

With an excited expression, the old woman began telling Tang Chen just how excellent Heavenly Snake Mansion was.

"Either you bring me all the materials, or I will take them myself." Tang Chen's expression was indifferent, and his tone allowed no argument.

He could not trust Qing Lin to Heavenly Snake Mansion. What if she were mistreated?

As he spoke, Tang Chen released his aura. The temperature of the surrounding world began to rise, while faint dragon roars echoed from within his body.

"This..." Seeing Tang Chen act so overbearingly, the old woman's face became extremely unpleasant.

Before the old woman could react, Tang Chen appeared before her in an instant at an eerie speed, his hand directly clamping around her throat.

"Don't play any tricks. Killing you would be easy for me." Tang Chen's gaze was cold as blades, and his tone was grim.

With Tang Chen gripping her throat, the old woman could barely even resist. The Dou Qi throughout her body could not circulate, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Though both were Dou Zuns, the difference between her and Tang Chen was like heaven and earth.

Only when the old woman was nearly rolling her eyes did Tang Chen release her. However, he still planted a fire seed within her body. Should they dare play any tricks, Tang Chen could take her life at any time.

The gap in strength completely extinguished the old woman's thoughts of resisting. To preserve her life, she could only order her subordinates to bring out every piece of information related to the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

They had stored all those materials together in a Storage Ring, which the mansion master presented to Tang Chen with both hands.

After receiving the Storage Ring, Tang Chen sent his soul power inside to inspect it. Once he confirmed that everything was in order, he put it away.

Having achieved his goal, Tang Chen did not linger. He tore open space and returned to the Jia Ma Empire.

Back at his residence in the imperial capital, Tang Chen handed the Storage Ring to Qing Lin, and Qing Lin entered seclusion.

Not long after Qing Lin entered seclusion, Xiao Yi Xian also emerged. After leaving Qing Lin with means to protect herself, Tang Chen took Xiao Yi Xian to the Chu Yun Empire in search of the Nether Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the Heavenly Flames Ranking.
