Computer Parts and a Straight Man of Steel!

The desert oasis lost the heat of day at night, but from a small wooden cabin came soul-stirring moans that made men's blood race...

The snake-woman warriors had finally endured their leader's moans. Every one of them was intensely curious about the battle situation inside the cabin.

Inside the wooden cabin, Gu Xia and Yue Mei were both fully clothed. Gu Xia's clothes were not even rumpled as he sat calmly to one side, elegantly sipping the tea he had plundered during the day. Yue Mei's clothes, on the other hand, were slightly disheveled. Other than the messy bedding, there were no other traces whatsoever. It was nothing like the steamy aftermath the snake-woman warriors had imagined...

(So what exactly were you expecting?)

"Tsk, tsk. Boys really need to protect themselves when they're out and about. There are always seductresses trying to take advantage of you!"

Gu Xia sneered and slowly set down his teacup. A mere Dou King wanted to use a charm technique on a Dou Di-level straight man of steel? Was she dreaming?

As for what had happened half an hour earlier to create this bizarre scene in the cabin, that had to be told from the moment Yue Mei brought Gu Xia back to the oasis...

Time rewound to an hour earlier.

Yue Mei had warmly and gently brought Gu Xia back to the oasis camp where she was currently on leave. Afterward, she had told Gu Xia to clean himself up first, while she personally went to prepare dinner for him. Take note: Yue Mei personally—emphasis on personally!—went to prepare dinner for Gu Xia!

"Little one, go take a bath first. It's been a whole day. Big sis doesn't want to sleep with a smelly little cutie tonight!"

"What? There's something this good?"

Yue Mei: "???"

"Uh... I mean, there's even somewhere to take a bath here. Big sis is just too good to me!"

Seeing Gu Xia hug her in "excitement," Yue Mei let out a bell-like laugh.

"Hehe... As long as Little Xia listens to big sis, big sis will always be good to you~"

After saying that, she gave Gu Xia's cheek another hard kiss, then happily twisted her seductive, fiery body as she left...

"Damn it, why does this snake demon love taking advantage of me so much?"

Once he was sure Yue Mei had truly gone far away, Gu Xia hurriedly wiped the lip print off his face. He wiped as he walked into the bathroom. Did they think he was really going to take a bath? He was actually going out to investigate Yue Mei!

As a Dou King-level powerhouse with so many subordinates, would she truly be willing to personally cook for a fourteen-year-old kid from another race, one she had known for less than a day and who was only at the ninth stage of Dou Qi? Even if that fourteen-year-old kid really was handsome! But as a super diamond titanium-alloy-level straight man with emotional intelligence infinitely close to zero, Gu Xia knew that unless it was his mother, any unsolicited kindness had an ulterior motive!

"Good thing I learned a concealment technique from the old man!"

Gu Xia silently activated his concealment art, and his figure gradually blended into the shadows. His aura and body seemed to turn intangible, his presence suppressed to the absolute minimum. As long as he did not encounter someone with higher cultivation than himself, he would not be discovered. But would someone with peak Dou Di cultivation ever encounter someone stronger than himself?

It could be said that Gu Xia's concealment technique was almost impossible to detect—unless he went looking for trouble...

After using the concealment technique, Gu Xia openly walked out of the small cabin. The snake-woman guards nearby acted as though they could not see him and continued faithfully carrying out their duties.

Following his senses, Gu Xia quickly found Yue Mei's location. He appeared behind her as if teleporting, watching this alluring Dou King-level beauty of a snake woman prepare her so-called dinner without noticing a thing...

"Hehe, little one. No matter what your purpose is in approaching our snakefolk tribe, considering how cute you are, this queen will reluctantly take you as her husband..." Sure enough, even acting worthy of an award could hardly make snakefolk lower their guard against humans, even if that human looked weak and was also very handsome!

Gu Xia: "..."

But Yue Mei had no idea that her "plot" had been completely exposed before the eyes of her target...

Watching all her little movements from behind her, the Dou Di thought to himself. Yet he did not reveal himself to stop and punish this curvaceous snake demon. On one hand, his plan required Yue Mei's cooperation. On the other, he wanted to see what miraculous computer part—crossed out—thing this demon planned to use to make him become her husband...

"Hehe, as long as he eats this specially made True-Love Pink Powder, unless he's a Dou Emperor-level powerhouse, even a piece of wood will forever fall in love with the first person it sees upon waking. Don't blame big sis for using medicine, little one. Who told you to smell so tempting and be so cute? To make sure you won't abandon big sis because of the Queen after I bring you back, big sis has no choice but to do this..."

Gu Xia: "???"

What the hell? True-Love Pink Powder? Was this stuff really that powerful? It could even work on wood? Was she using cheats or something? And that scent—wasn't that cheat only effective on magical beasts? Since when did it work on her too? Oh, she was snakefolk. Never mind, then. Sure enough, there were always villains trying to harm the emperor! And she was after his body too!

After learning Yue Mei's intentions, Gu Xia did not linger. With another step, he instantly returned to the bathroom. Though a Dou Di came with a purification effect—physical purification—he still had to put on an act, right? Taking a bath without even wetting his hair—was he using some kind of quantum bathing method?

"Little one, come eat once you're done bathing. You must be hungry too..."

Just as Gu Xia finished bathing, Yue Mei returned to the cabin carrying a fragrant dinner. Looking at Gu Xia, who had just finished bathing, she did not know why, but she felt that the scent on him had become even stronger—and even more tempting. Even she, a dignified Dou King-level powerhouse, had nearly been unable to resist pouncing on him...

"Okay!"

Gu Xia had just walked out of the bathroom when he heard Yue Mei call him. He answered obediently.

Yue Mei had made a unique snakefolk desert dish, two portions in total. She placed the portion laced with computer parts—crossed out—a certain medicine in front of Gu Xia, and "personally watched" as he happily took his first bite.

Thinking everything was settled, she began eating her own portion as well.

One minute later...

Eh? Why did these charcoal-grilled sandworm legs taste a little different from before? It felt like there was something strange added. Had my cooking gotten worse?

Three minutes later...

Eh? Why am I feeling hotter and hotter? Is it because I'm too excited?

Five minutes later...

Wonderful! So Little Xia likes me too! I should have known there was no need to use that Companion Phosphorus Powder that could only be used once in a lifetime. But this seems pretty good too...

Ten minutes later, the opening scene appeared.

Gu Xia merely calmly added an illusion to her. After finishing his meal, he sealed off his hearing. Watching the seductive beauty on the bed hug the blanket and writhe around, his heart remained utterly unmoved. He even found it a little funny...

Fine, that was so like him...
