Stepping out of the crown prince's bedchamber.

The cool night breeze blew head-on, calming She Xian's turbulent inner energy somewhat.

He had not gone far when Little White's soft, sweet voice rang out in the depths of his mind, delicate and lovely, like an orioles' song emerging from the valleys of Jiangnan.

"Husband... this servant has an extremely important matter to discuss with you in detail."

She Xian abruptly stopped, a trace of surprise rising in his heart.

Little White had always been gentle and considerate, and rarely spoke to him in such a serious tone.

If even she called it an "important matter," it was certainly no trivial affair!

"Perfect. Teacher just arranged a new room for me. Let's head back and talk it over slowly."

She Xian muttered as he quickened his pace, darting into the luxurious side chamber right beside Qian Renxue's bedchamber.

He entered, shut the door, and slid the bolt into place in one smooth motion.

After confirming there were no prying eyes or ears nearby, She Xian let out a long breath and sat cross-legged on the thick, soft couch.

Buzz!

A gentle white glow swept through the room.

Exceptionally pure soul power rose like smoke and mist as a slender, graceful figure quietly condensed within the chamber.

Her white robes were fairer than snow, her dark hair cascading like a waterfall.

Little White appeared out of thin air in human form.

Her gauzy long dress could not conceal her exquisite, curvaceous figure.

Her jade-like pretty face held an indescribable tenderness and seriousness.

But before She Xian could admire his White Lady's peerless beauty, the temperature in the room suddenly plunged to freezing!

Boom!

A noble, violent cloud of light mixed with supreme ferocity exploded outward!

A figure that seemed like heaven's most perfect creation appeared, her snake tail swaying behind her.

Beneath Medusa Queen's purple brocade robe, her slender waist and delicate shoulders were faintly visible, while the ravine before her chest was breathtaking.

Her arms were folded over her chest, squeezing that astonishing abundance into an even more spectacular sight.

Her soul-stealing eyes gleamed with icy light as she looked coldly down at She Xian on the couch.

Two unparalleled beauties of utterly opposite styles had appeared in the cramped room at once.

The visual impact of the sight shot straight to his head!

She Xian swallowed.

"Your Majesty, why did you come out too?"

Medusa Queen merely gave him a cold glance and did not bother replying.

"..."

Fine. She Xian was already used to the queen's attitude.

After steadying himself slightly, She Xian turned his gaze back to Little White.

"Little White, what exactly is this important matter you mentioned?"

Little White moved with graceful steps and sat down beside the couch.

A pair of fair, delicate little feet peeked out beneath her skirt.

She lightly furrowed her brows and pondered for a long while, seemingly organizing her words.

"Husband, ever since you absorbed that two-thousand-year Ice Flood Dragon soul ring and your soul power broke through to rank thirteen, some vague fragments of information suddenly flashed through the depths of my memories."

"It was an extremely strange sensation."

She Xian's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "A sensation? What kind of sensation?"

"I cannot explain it clearly either."

Little White gently shook her head.

Her soft, slender jade hand rested over her chest, her eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty.

"I simply feel that somewhere on this land called Douluo Continent, there seem to be things scattered about that are deeply connected to my origin."

"As long as those things exist, my soul feels a faint resonance and longing."

The moment she said that, She Xian's pupils abruptly contracted!

Almost instinctively, he raised his head sharply and looked toward Medusa Queen, who stood nearby with her arms crossed.

That sounded far too familiar!

When Medusa Queen had first awakened as his second martial soul,

it was because she sensed a strange summons somewhere on this continent

that they followed the clues and found the storage ring Medusa Queen had left behind on Douluo Continent all those years ago!

And now,

Little White had developed a similar emotional stir and instinctive resonance!

Noticing She Xian's gaze,

Medusa Queen's lovely brows furrowed slightly.

A flicker of surprise passed through her cool eyes.

"Why are you looking at me?"

The queen gave a cold snort, her low, imposing voice carrying a bewitching allure.

"Husband, could it be that some magical treasure or personal item I once used was scattered across the continent when it came to this world with me?"

Little White gently interrupted the queen's sarcastic taunt and voiced her own guess.

Magical treasures?

Countless famous scenes from White Snake legends in his previous life flashed through She Xian's mind.

White Lady's Realgar Sword?

Or the Bone Hairpin from White Snake: Origin, capable of absorbing the power of heaven and earth?

No, that was White Lady's dowry for herself!

"Little White!"

She Xian's breathing became somewhat hurried.

He grabbed Little White's cool, silky-soft hand and eagerly asked, "Little White, can you clearly sense where they are?"

"Let's go investigate right now!"

Little White obediently allowed She Xian to hold her hand.

She leaned forward slightly, a faint fragrance drifting toward him.

However, she ultimately sighed with some regret.

"The sensation is too vague, Husband."

"The distance is simply too great, as though separated by countless mountains and rivers."

Little White leaned close to She Xian and breathed softly beside his ear.

"Moreover, there is more than one place where I sense movement."

"There is one in the north, and there also seems to be another aura calling to me from the east."

The north? The east?

She Xian quickly brought up a map of Douluo Continent's powers in his mind.

Far to the north, aside from the Heaven Dou Empire's border, there was only humanity's forbidden zone—the Far North!

As for the east... that was the eastern part of the continent, even extending into the boundless sea!

"One in the north and one in the east... the distance between them is enormous."

She Xian's overheated mind instantly calmed down.

Perhaps this vague sensation would only become clearer once Little White got close enough to the targets.

It seemed he could only verify them one by one once he was strong enough to enter those dangerous regions.

Food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and roads had to be walked one step at a time.

Having thought it through, She Xian instead let go of the anxiety in his heart.

Meeting Little White's clear, watery eyes, tinged with unease, he wrapped her jade hand in his palm.

"Little White, don't worry."

"Whether it's the north or the east, no matter what hardships lie ahead, once my soul power grows stronger, I'll personally take you across every inch of Douluo Continent."

"As long as it belongs to you, even if gods took it away, I'll help you seize it back piece by piece!"

Every word rang firm and forceful, carrying the undisguised passion and determination of youth.

Little White's delicate body trembled lightly, tears glimmering in her beautiful eyes.

She only felt a warm current surge from the tightly held palm of her hand straight into her heart.

"Husband..."

Little White softly leaned against She Xian's shoulder, her breath fragrant as an orchid, her little face filled with happiness and emotion.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort devoid of warmth abruptly tore through the tender atmosphere in the room.

Medusa Queen looked down sideways at the two stuck together, a mocking sneer curling across her proud lips.

"Empty boasting."

"You're only a rank-thirteen Soul Master, a brat whose feathers haven't even grown in yet, and you dare boast about taking someone across the continent?"

"Do you know that in those dangerous places, any random ten-thousand-year soul beast could crush you into minced flesh?"

Hearing the queen's merciless, sharp-tongued downpour, She Xian did not get angry.

He turned his head and smilingly examined Medusa Queen's breathtakingly beautiful face.

His gaze swept over her long, straight legs and astonishing curves as he laughed lightly.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. I'm the fairest person there is."

"When my strength reaches the top someday, not only will I find Little White's belongings, I'll help you find your treasures as well!"

Medusa Queen's delicate body visibly stiffened.

Deep within her domineering eyes, a trace of unnatural panic flashed past with incredible speed.

But with the towering pride of a Snake-People queen, how could she possibly yield in words?

"Impudent!"

Medusa Queen's brows shot up, a mix of fury and alarm surfacing on her exquisite face.

"Why would this queen need flattery from a lowly human brat like you?"

"Put away those honeyed words you use to deceive foolish snakes!"

"If you dare look at this queen with such disrespectful eyes again, even at the cost of damaging my soul, I will punish you, human brat!"

After saying that,

Medusa Queen coldly flicked her sleeve,

turning into a brilliant stream of light that darted back into She Xian's body, refusing to show herself again.

Watching the queen return as though fleeing,

Little White, who had been leaning against She Xian's chest, could not help but burst into laughter.

Little White covered her rosy lips with slender fingers, her eyes curving like crescent moons as she teased, "Husband... could it be that Sister Queen was moved by your passionate declaration just now, and ran away because she was embarrassed?"

"Nonsense!"

"Utterly absurd!"

Medusa Queen's furious, bone-chilling voice exploded through She Xian's mind!

"And you, foolish snake, this queen is warning you one last time: stop being so self-indulgent in front of me!"

"And you are not allowed to call me Sister!"

"This queen's noble Snake-People bloodline has nothing whatsoever to do with a snake demon like you!"

Her furious roars echoed in the depths of his soul, making She Xian's head ache.

Yet Little White was completely unafraid of the queen's threats. Instead, she tilted her head and laughed even more happily.

Having two peerless snake ladies inside him, one cold and one fiery, one gentle and one fierce, arguing endlessly in his mind every day, gave him no end of headaches.

She Xian helplessly rubbed his temples, a wry smile hanging on his lips.

His future journey across the continent was destined to be anything but peaceful.
