Breakthrough, Spring, Strange Fire, Taisui!

Shen Shihuang listened to Yue Mei's words.

He was slightly stunned.

The Queen's husband?

Queen Medusa cast a glance at Yue Mei, who then sheepishly returned to the ground. "Let us head back first."

He returned to the great hall with Queen Medusa.

At this moment, inside the hall.

A portion of the Snake-Person Tribe's powerhouses were present, their gazes all converging on Shen Shihuang.

"You have all seen it."

"He has awakened."

Queen Medusa spoke directly, "Since the moment of my birth, he has been by my side. From this day forward, he is my husband and will rule the entire Snake-Person Tribe alongside me."

"His strength is the same as mine—both at the peak of the Dou Huang realm."

"Does anyone here object?"

Faced with Queen Medusa's declaration, not a single person in the Snake-Person Tribe dared to object. Meanwhile, Shen Shihuang was still in a daze; had he really just become Queen Medusa's husband?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing that Shen Shihuang was also at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, the elders and commanders of the Snake-Person Tribe present naturally would not object. Furthermore, in a sense, Queen Medusa and Shen Shihuang had already shared a bed for many years.

Watching this scene, Shen Shihuang wanted to say something, but he could only keep his mouth shut.

Inside the palace.

The curtains hung low, and a purple snake tail coiled upon the bed. Queen Medusa looked at Shen Shihuang. "The black flames on your body seem to be like a Heavenly Flame; they are a type of Heavenly Flame, aren't they?"

Shen Shihuang nodded.

"That's right, it is a Heavenly Flame, though I am not yet clear on the specifics." Shen Shihuang was also puzzled. According to his own conjecture, it should be a Heavenly Flame, yet he possessed absolutely no information regarding this particular one. The only thing he knew was that he could use it as he pleased.

It was somewhat mysterious.

"No matter."

"It is likely because you have only just awakened. Moving forward, I will have people collect some Dou Techniques for you to cultivate."

Looking at Queen Medusa, Shen Shihuang asked in confusion, "Do you truly want me to be your husband?"

Queen Medusa's snake tail moved, coiling up as she came behind Shen Shihuang and rested her chin on his shoulder. "Although you appear human, you and I share a symbiotic relationship."

"I can absorb some of the energy that escapes from your body, which has a tremendous effect on increasing my strength. Moreover, you have been sleeping by my side for many years..."

"My husband can only be you."

Shen Shihuang turned his head, his face nearly touching Queen Medusa's, and a fragrant scent drifted into his nostrils.

Queen Medusa gently removed her veil, revealing a peerless countenance. "From now on, you shall manage the Snake-Person Tribe with me."

As she spoke.

Queen Medusa's red lips slowly pressed against Shen Shihuang's.

Hum~~~~~~~~

In an instant.

The black flames on Shen Shihuang's body erupted, completely enveloping the two of them.

"I am actually breaking through?"

Queen Medusa widened her eyes, staring at Shen Shihuang.

Shen Shihuang also realized that his own strength was beginning to climb.

And so.

Queen Medusa wrapped her arms around Shen Shihuang's head, and the two kissed passionately.

Within the black flames, Queen Medusa's snake tail slowly began to undergo a transformation. By now, the clothing on her body had completely fallen away, and she was entwined with Shen Shihuang, with soft moans occasionally escaping her lips.

After a long while of intensity, a majestic aura erupted from Queen Medusa's body, sweeping across the entire Snake-Person Tribe.

The tribesmen of the Snake-Person Tribe outside felt this aura.

They knelt down one after another.

"The Queen has broken through to the Dou Zong realm!!"

A look of great joy appeared in the eyes of the Snake-Person tribesmen.

Yue Mei also knelt on the ground under the pressure of this aura, saying, "The Queen's husband is truly a lucky star. The moment he awakened, the Queen broke through to become a Dou Zong powerhouse. From now on, in the Jia Ma Empire, who would dare to be an enemy of our Snake-Person Tribe?"

"Indeed, indeed!"

On the bed.

Clothes lay scattered about.

A night had passed.

A powerful aura once again swept through the entire Snake-Person Tribe.

"Is this the aura of a Dou Zong powerhouse?"

"Could it be that the Queen's husband has also broken through?" Yue Mei exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

"Haha!"

"Our Snake-Person Tribe has produced two Dou Zong powerhouses at once!"

"How joyous, how joyous!"

The bed curtains hung low, heavy with the lingering scent of spring.

Shen Shihuang lay on the bed, Queen Medusa's hair splayed across his chest as she rested upon him. "I never expected that the opportunity for my breakthrough would ultimately come from my husband."

"It truly was a Heavenly Flame."

Shen Shihuang raised a hand, and a black flame appeared.

Queen Medusa turned her head to look at the black flame in Shen Shihuang's hand. "Husband, you knew?"

Shen Shihuang replied, "Yes."

"It is a type of Heavenly Flame."

"It is called the Taisui Flame."

The Taisui Flame.

A Heavenly Flame born within the void of time, appearing as a pure, abyssal black. It possessed the power of time, though the Taisui Flame in Shen Shihuang's hand at this moment was only in its nascent stage. To improve the quality of the Taisui Flame, one had to absorb the origin fire seeds of other Heavenly Flames.

The most terrifying part was this:

Once it absorbed the origin fire seed of a certain Heavenly Flame, the Taisui Flame would simultaneously possess the abilities of that flame.

If it were to absorb the origin fire seed of the Void Devouring Flame, then in a sense, the Taisui Flame would also become the Void Devouring Flame, and its devouring capabilities would be acquired by the Taisui Flame.

It was simply terrifying.

"Heavenly Flames are rare treasures of the world; where am I supposed to find others?"

After understanding this, Shen Shihuang could not help but smile wryly.

Heavenly Flames.

They were not easy to find, and even if he knew where they were, could he really do it? It was simply impossible for him to absorb the origin fire seed of a Heavenly Flame as he was.

"It seems I must think of a way."

The Taisui Flame in Shen Shihuang's hand grew increasingly intense, filling the entire room, before he rolled over and pulled the Queen back into position. "My Queen, I feel that we can continue..."

Following that, low, muffled sounds drifted out continuously...
