She Xian exhausted every ounce of his skill, squeezing out from between the two soft, fragrant bodies at an incredibly tricky angle.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he took a deep breath.
He could finally breathe air that wasn't tainted by the scent of a woman.
Losing the warmth in her embrace, Bai Suzhen's phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of loss, her slender hands still held in a hugging posture.
Medusa Queen let out a cold snort.
Her snake tail curled in displeasure, and her pale purple phoenix eyes were filled with disdain.
She Xian stepped back twice, crossed his arms over his chest, and swept his gaze back and forth between the two... snake demons.
"Cough, let's get things straight."
He looked at Bai Suzhen: "You, go first."
"Where did you come from?"
"And why did you become my Martial Soul?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen tilted her head and recalled earnestly for a moment.
"This humble one is Bai Suzhen, and I only remember that I have been searching for my husband."
Her voice was as soft as a spring breeze brushing against water.
"In the dark, there was a pull that guided me all the way here."
"It wasn't until that light shone just now that I appeared here."
At this point, she raised those almond eyes, which were filled with affection and smiles, and her gaze landed on She Xian, resolute and affectionate.
"My husband is the one I am looking for."
"Of this, I am absolutely certain, and I can stake my life on it."
She Xian's mouth twitched.
He sized up this face that could topple kingdoms.
With snow-white skin, flower-like features, eyes brimming with emotion, and clothes as white as snow, her temperament was gentle to the very bone.
She was the spitting image of Little White from White Snake: Origin.
But the problem was...
"Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"
She Xian pointed at himself with a serious expression.
"My name is She Xian, She—Xian, not Xu Xian."
"Even our surnames are different, how can you be so certain that I am your husband?"
Bai Suzhen blinked, taking it for granted: "A husband is a husband, the name is not important."
She Xian: "..."
Good grief, it could really be like that.
He decided to set aside this preposterous topic for now and turned his gaze to the other.
"What about you?"
Hearing this, Medusa Queen's pale purple phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were unwilling to waste words on a human.
But after a moment of silence, she still spoke in a cold voice.
"This Queen... remembers being in the depths of the Tagore Desert, searching for the Green Lotus Core Flame."
Her slender fingers tightened slightly, and a faint crease formed between her brows.
"The moment I was about to seize that flame, I encountered some kind of accident."
"My consciousness blurred, and when I woke up... I was in this godforsaken place."
She Xian's pupils shrank violently.
Tagore Desert!
Green Lotus Core Flame!
A string in his brain twitched fiercely.
Isn't this the plot of Battle Through the Heavens?
Is she actually that Medusa Queen from the Dou Qi Continent?
Did a character from the Dou Qi Continent transmigrate to the Douluo Continent?
No, more accurately, she became his Martial Soul.
For a moment, She Xian almost lost control of his facial expressions.
The two in front of him:
One was a devoted snake demon waiting for a thousand years,
The other was a ruthless and decisive Snake-People Tribe queen.
"Human, withdraw your gaze!"
Medusa Queen's cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
Those phoenix eyes were now filled with undisguised disgust.
Her snake tail slowly rose, and the tip emitted a dangerous hissing sound.
"This Queen does not know why I am trapped in such a place, but if you dare to stare at this Queen with those disgusting eyes again—"
Killing intent permeated the air like a physical force.
"!!!"
The hair on the back of She Xian's neck stood up instantly.
However, at that very moment, a white shadow flashed.
Bai Suzhen had appeared in front of She Xian before he even realized it.
Her wide white sleeves fluttered gently, and her gentle face now carried a touch of seriousness.
"Big sister, my husband is my person."
Her tone was still soft, but every word was heavy and resonant.
"I ask that you do not harm him."
Medusa's phoenix eyes sharpened: "Don't call this Queen big sister!"
"Then... little sister?"
"Are you courting death?!"
The air crackled with gunpowder.
She Xian stood behind Bai Suzhen, resting a hand on his forehead.
Why did these two feel like fire and water?
But at that moment, a thought flashed through his mind.
Are they really his Martial Souls?
She Xian took a deep breath and tentatively channeled the Soul Power in his body.
A faint ripple of Soul Power surged from his Dantian.
The next second,
Bai Suzhen's body trembled slightly, and a silver glow flashed around her.
Medusa's snake tail stiffened, and purple light spilled from between her scales uncontrollably.
Both of them felt that connection simultaneously.
"This is..."
Bai Suzhen looked down at her hands and then at She Xian, a light of surprise blooming in her almond eyes.
"It really is so!"
"Even after a thousand years, there is still an unbreakable bond between my husband and me!"
She clasped her hands together, smiling like a flower, so happy she almost spun around.
Medusa Queen's reaction, however, was the exact opposite.
She froze in place.
Having vaguely understood the situation, her face turned from cold white to ashen, then to something nearly distorted.
"This Queen actually has to depend on a human to survive?"
This was something she, as the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, could not accept.
She Xian fell silent for a second and nodded honestly.
Flames of rage surged in Medusa's phoenix eyes.
She glared at She Xian, her gaze wishing it could burn two holes through him.
But immediately after, she felt it.
No matter how much killing intent she held in her heart, her body could not inflict any substantial harm on the human in front of her.
Because he was her "host."
To harm him was to harm herself.
This realization almost drove Medusa Queen to madness on the spot.
"Damn it!"
She gritted her teeth and spat out the two words, her entire body erupting in purple light.
"Despicable human!"
The exquisite, proud figure transformed into a cluster of purple light, merged into She Xian's body, and vanished.
The corners of She Xian's mouth twitched slightly.
Well, Her Majesty the Queen had gotten so angry she ran off.
However...
He turned to look at Bai Suzhen, then looked down at his own hands.
Twin serpent martial spirits, serpent demon transformation.
One came from the Legend of the White Snake, possessing the spiritual consciousness and knowledge of a thousand-year-old serpent demon.
The other came from Battle Through the Heavens, possessing the combat experience and insight of a Dou Huang powerhouse from the Dou Qi Continent.
This was clearly his cheat code!
She Xian took a deep breath, his expression turning solemn.
"Little White." It was the first time he had addressed Bai Suzhen this way.
Bai Suzhen was slightly startled, then a smile rippled across the corners of her eyes and brows. "Please speak, husband."
"The fact that beast martial spirits can take human form must never be known by anyone."
His tone was uncharacteristically serious.
"I can expose the twin serpent martial spirits, and I can expose that the martial spirits possess intelligence."
"But your human forms, that is our greatest trump card."
Douluo Continent had intelligent martial spirits like Luo San Pao that could manifest outside the body.
But a martial spirit that took human form and possessed intelligence was unheard of.
"If this matter leaks, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Bai Suzhen nodded solemnly. "I understand."
"Rest assured, husband, I will never let anyone discover it."
She Xian let out a long sigh of relief.
Fine, at least on the matter of "keeping secrets," their camps were temporarily aligned.
