A Major Domestic Violence Scene

After taking the pill Lei Qi had given her, Cao Ying showed no major changes at first. She merely stared blankly at him with those bewitching eyes.

Lei Qi himself was full of confusion.

But just as he was puzzling over it, a foul smell suddenly emerged.

"Ah!!!"

Cao Ying naturally caught the strange smell as well. When she realized it was coming from herself, her whole body went numb.

"This is only cleansing impurities from your body. Your cultivation aptitude will definitely improve afterward," Lei Qi said.

"Eek~"

Cao Ying's little face flushed bright red, and she ran into the room without looking back.

Though Lei Qi had tried to comfort her, she simply could not accept herself being so smelly.

Most importantly, this was in front of Lei Qi!!!

Seeing this, Lei Qi did not go after her. After all, what Cao Ying probably wanted least right now was for him to stay by her side.

Rather than going to his own main residence, Lei Qi went to Cai Lin's quarters, because he still needed to strengthen the bond between them.

Seeing Lei Qi arrive, Cai Lin frowned slightly. "I need to cultivate."

Wanting it all day long—who could keep up with that!

"I recently happened to acquire a cultivation technique that requires two people working together," Lei Qi said with a smile.

"You..."

Cai Lin was somewhat annoyed. Although cultivating together was more enjoyable, the results were absurdly poor!

"Slow down..."

Unfortunately, Cai Lin did not really refuse Lei Qi's requests.

"Cai Lin, what must I do to completely win your heart?" Lei Qi asked, resting his head on Cai Lin's shoulder.

She had not expected Lei Qi to expose her hidden thoughts with a single sentence.

Indeed, even now, she had not completely submitted. She had not reached the point of being devoted to him alone and regarding Lei Qi as her entire world.

She had not wanted to say it, but seeing Lei Qi ask—and deliberately pinch her—Cai Lin said, "You have to be stronger than me."

"So you think I'm not stronger than you?" Lei Qi laughed.

It seemed she was unconvinced!

"Of course. You're only a three-star Dou Huang. How could you be stronger than me?" Cai Lin said at once.

She was now a genuine Dou Zong expert. A husband weaker than herself?

That was something Cai Lin could not accept. Or rather, every generation of Medusa could only be conquered by the strong. Once conquered, they would remain devoted for life, no matter what the future held.

Speaking of which, that boy Xiao Yan had simply been lucky, blessed by fortune.

After all, the greater factor in his winning over Medusa had been the influence of the Heaven-Swallowing Python's soul. Combined with his cheat-like life and rocket-like growth in strength...

Otherwise, how could he possibly have conquered that beautiful snake?

But Lei Qi was different. He was only a Dou Zong—Lei Qi was not incapable of fighting one!

"Then let's go. I'll satisfy you," Lei Qi said.

Conquering a queen through feelings took time. Using strength to make her submit completely was the key!

"???"

Cai Lin looked at Lei Qi in surprise. She thought he was joking.

The gap between them was enormous!

How could he dare??

"What's with that disbelieving expression? You don't really think strength alone can decide everything, do you?" Lei Qi said.

Cai Lin frowned. She naturally knew that fighting above one's level was possible, but she was now the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python. Trying to fight above one's level against her?

Impossible, alright!

"How about this? Let's add a wager. If I win, I believe you'll submit to me wholeheartedly. That goes without saying. But if you win, I'll give you freedom. And I'll help your Snake-People Clan cultivate two Dou Zongs and four Dou Huangs within a few years," Lei Qi said.

"Are you... serious?" Cai Lin was deeply tempted, but she was unsure whether Lei Qi was joking.

"Of course. That is, provided you can defeat me." Lei Qi nodded.

Cai Lin immediately stood up, looking as though she were about to attack.

"No, even if we're going to compete, not here. Besides, do you know what state you're in right now?" Lei Qi said meaningfully.

Hearing that, the queen seemed to recall something, and a blush surfaced on her face.

A moment later, the two figures came to a stop within a stretch of mountains and forests outside the Thunder Realm. Beneath the mountains lay an endless plain.

This was a training ground for descendants of the Thunder Clan and young members of the Thunder Clan who possessed bloodline power. Some magical beasts were raised here as sparring targets.

Naturally, there was a barrier here, so the magical beasts could not leave. The strongest ones here were only a few sixth-tier magical beasts, and those were deep within the mountains.

Any magical beast that had cultivated to the sixth tier was generally qualified to become a mount and would not be casually killed. They were also sparring opponents.

"Here will do," Lei Qi said.

"Fine!"

After Cai Lin answered, vast seven-colored energy surged from her body like a tide. It finally descended from the sky like a seven-colored canopy, with her figure at the center of it.

Seeing how serious Cai Lin was, Lei Qi grew somewhat excited as well.

Ever since leaving the clan grounds, he truly had not fought anyone.

Lei Qi immediately stomped down fiercely. His wings moved, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm shot through the air toward Cai Lin like a giant python!

Boom!!!

The queen naturally evaded it with ease, but from the thunderous roar echoing through the air, she understood that Lei Qi was not being arrogant—he was genuinely strong!

At the very least, when she had been at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, she might not have been able to suppress him.

But recalling what Lei Qi had just said, the queen naturally would not let the matter rest.

With a clench of her slender hand, a seven-colored serpentine longsword materialized. With a swing of her arm, the blade twisted into a bizarre arc, and its tip thrust forward viciously!

Terrifying force surged from the blade. The longsword in her hand let out a clear cry, then suddenly shook. Dense afterimages instantly emerged, completely enveloping Lei Qi in the briefest moment.

Rumble!!!

Yet Medusa's sword qi shattered immediately against the surging lightning that Lei Qi met head-on without dodging or evading!

Seeing this, Medusa gained a new understanding of Lei Qi. The next moment, she transformed into a streak of colored light and charged at him.

Lei Qi remained calm and unhurried. Black lightning covered his entire body as he charged forward. The instant the two figures collided, a mighty energy fluctuation erupted!

Bang bang bang!!!

Boom boom boom!!!

Battles between Dou Huang experts were always tremendously destructive, much less one between a Dou Huang and a Dou Zong. The fluctuations were especially terrifying!

Although Lei Qi was a Dou Huang, Cai Lin understood the moment they exchanged blows that he was completely comparable to a Dou Zong expert!!

In just a short clash, they had already exchanged nearly twenty or thirty moves. At this moment, Medusa gathered power into a punch. There was nothing particularly tricky or vicious about it; it was simply incomparably heavy. Under that terrifying force, even the surrounding space distorted, while the air itself caved into a faint arc. An invisible air cannon formed over her fist, releasing a piercing whooo that resounded through the heavens.
