Yun Yun's Contrast

The distorted figure within the flames suddenly erupted with violent Dou Qi, and Medusa, temporarily insulating herself from the agony, took a deep breath.

Then, she abruptly opened her mouth, and a powerful suction force burst forth from within.

The Green Lotus Core Flame was instantly pulled toward her in a torrent. At first, the flames struggled frantically, scorching Medusa's body.

Layers of charred black appeared upon her skin, yet she did not show the slightest intention of retreating.

As the flames were gradually drawn into her body, Medusa began to tremble violently. Her eyes flickered with the radiance of fire, reflecting both agony and exhilaration.

The energy within her body collided and merged incessantly; Medusa felt as though her very soul were being reshaped.

Suddenly, a brilliant seven-colored light bloomed from within her, illuminating the entire cavern in a kaleidoscope of colors.

Amidst the radiance, Medusa's figure gradually blurred. Her body began to curl and shrink, the once slender human silhouette slowly transforming into a small, exquisite python.

The serpent's body was covered in magnificent seven-colored scales, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura as the light rippled across them.

A moment later, the light slowly receded, and a small snake, about the thickness of an arm and a foot in length, appeared in place. It was Medusa, having completed her evolution—the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

The tiny Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python lay limply on the ground, looking around with an innocent, bewildered expression.

It appeared that the original consciousness of the Queen had faded away.

Seeing this adorable sight, Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and finally revealed a gentle smile.

He extended his finger toward it: "You're much cuter like this..."

The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was quite exceptional, possessing immense talent and formidable strength, along with the ability to devour other magical beasts or energy to enhance its own power.

Only a magical beast of this caliber was barely qualified to remain by the side of a Great Emperor.

"From now on, you shall be called Xiao Cai..."

Hearing Xiao Fan's call, Xiao Cai nodded happily, then crawled onto his finger and burrowed into his sleeve.

Hmm... the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe had been tamed by him!

"Alright..."

Next, it was time to prepare for the return journey.

He had been wandering out for long enough.

Xiao Fan beckoned with his hand,收纳 the now extremely weakened Green Lotus Core Flame.

His figure flashed, and he soared into the air.

Then, he flew at an incredible speed toward... well, the direction of the Misty Cloud Sect.

The Misty Cloud Sect stood atop the peaks of the mountains. On its main summit lay a refined sanctuary: the private chambers of the Misty Cloud Sect Leader, Yun Yun.

The room was like a corner of a fairyland, its decor exuding elegance and luxury.

Pale blue silk curtains hung lightly from the ceiling, resembling a silver river cascading down from the heavens.

A white jade vanity stood by the window, and several landscape paintings hung on the walls, the scent of ink lingering in the air.

Yun Yun stood quietly by the window, her gaze fixed blankly on the scenery outside.

Her beautiful eyes flickered with complex emotions, a tangle of confusion and inner conflict.

The memories of that night surfaced in her mind against her will.

Ge Ye had been reduced to a cripple; the once-talented disciple of the sect was now like a walking corpse, having become simple-minded after waking.

Her own disciple, Nalan Yanran, was also devastated, the vitality of her past long since vanished.

She knew that they had brought all of this upon themselves.

However, that Xiao Fan, who had instigated it all, had actually... actually pressed his lips to hers!

"..."

That detestable fellow!!

Yun Yun was immersed in her chaotic thoughts, completely unaware that a figure had appeared silently in the room like a ghost.

Thanks to a mysterious and powerful concealment formation, his arrival had not been detected by anyone in the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Sect Leader Yun..."

That familiar voice drifted over, and Yun Yun instinctively turned her head with a start.

However, the moment she turned, her cherry lips were instantly sealed.

Yun Yun widened her eyes in shock, instinctively struggling to break free.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Fan quickly pulled his lips away and leaned close to her ear.

His soft breath teased her sensitive earlobe like a feather.

"Sect Leader Yun, you wouldn't want anything to happen to the Misty Cloud Sect, would you?"

Yun Yun's face was flushed with shame and indignation, her heart roaring: How could there be such a shameless person in this world!

Immediately after, the two embraced and kissed tightly once more.

Yun Yun's hands pushed weakly against Xiao Fan, but her feeble resistance appeared so pale and powerless before his immense and overbearing strength.

Yun Yun's heart was filled with conflict; she was annoyed by Xiao Fan's unreasonableness, yet she worried that the Misty Cloud Sect would suffer an unprovoked disaster because of her defiance.

Gradually, Yun Yun's resistance grew weaker and weaker, and her body trembled slightly.

It was unclear whether it was anger, fear, or some other indescribable emotion at play.

After a long while, Xiao Fan finally released Yun Yun.

Looking at the woman in his arms with her hazy gaze, a trace of satisfaction flashed in the depths of his eyes.

How did that saying go again?

Power amplifies a person's desires.

Some people choose power, some choose women, and some choose money.

And as for him, Xiao Fan... since he was a future Great Emperor and currently possessed the capital to run rampant across the Gama Empire.

Then naturally, it was... to act without restraint!

He wanted it all!

Of course, he was not the type to force himself on a beautiful woman just because he saw one.

Perhaps it was the Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus, or perhaps it was the Heaven Realm Soul, but regardless, ever since he had advanced to Dou Zong.

A woman's emotions held no secrets from him.

Whether it was joy or disgust, hatred or gratitude, he could perceive it all clearly.

That night, he had naturally sensed the strange emotions and joy within Yun Yun's heart, which was why he had dared to act so boldly.

Otherwise, how could he have acted like a man who had never seen a woman before and forced his love upon her the moment they met?

For a mature woman like Yun Yun, a sect leader who was reserved on the surface, one had to be a bit overbearing!

If the man did not express his intentions and the woman remained reserved, the result would be that the two could never come together!

At this moment, Yun Yun gasped for air, crystalline tears shimmering in her eyes as she glared at Xiao Fan, her voice trembling and filled with anger: "What exactly do you want?"

But Xiao Fan saw through her soul that trace of joy hidden beneath her annoyance.

[Joy +1, Joy +1, Annoyance +2]

Very well, playing the contrast game, are we?

The corners of Xiao Fan's mouth curled up, outlining a wicked smile.

That smile revealed a dangerous aura and the confidence of someone in total control: "Sect Leader Yun, you should understand my intentions."

Yun Yun bit her lip until it turned pale; she turned her head away and said resolutely: "Don't you dare dream of it!"

Xiao Fan gently pinched Yun Yun's chin, applying slight pressure to force her to look him in the eye.

His gaze was filled with an overbearing nature that brooked no refusal: "That is not for you to decide."

Yun Yun: "Mmph... wuwu~"

[Shame and Anger +1, Shame and Anger +2, Shame and Anger +3]

In the deep, quiet, and mist-shrouded forbidden back mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect, ancient trees towered all around, their branches and leaves intertwined.

They blocked out the few remaining rays of sunlight, making the place appear eerie and oppressive.

Yun Shan was alone in this tranquil spot, deep in thought.

He glanced at his reflection on the smooth, mirror-like stone wall, his white hair scattering in the wind.

"I must hurry and break through to Dou Zong..."

If he did not break through to Dou Zong soon, his lifespan would come to an end right here...

Just then, the previously silent space around him suddenly rippled with a strange fluctuation.

A black shadow emerged silently like a ghost, without the slightest sound, as if it had seeped directly out of the darkness...
