Yue Mei

With a thought, streams of spiritual power surged out from his Mud Pill Palace, slowly spreading toward the tent.

"Who is spying here?" Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out, extremely clear in the silent desert. At once, dozens of snake-person guards rushed in every direction, searching for the invading enemy.

"Damn it, there's an expert." Jia Lie Jun was startled and hurriedly slipped silently into the depths of the lake.

"Lord Yue Mei, no trace of the enemy was found nearby." The snake-person guards respectfully bowed to a snake-woman who had walked out of the tent. The snake-woman had dark skin, long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, and a snake tail sliding across the sand. Her figure was fiery, extremely alluring, and filled with an exotic charm.

The corners of Yue Mei's lips lifted slightly, and her gaze turned to the shimmering surface of the water. Ripples spread across it in rings. "Found you." Her delicate jade hand lightly covered her red lips, her voice filled with seduction. Her body trembled slightly, and a pair of cyan wings slowly appeared behind her. With a gentle flap, her figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared above the water.

Yue Mei's jade hand curled into a claw and sucked toward the lake. In an instant, the lake water condensed into a water snake, with a pointed mouth and sharp fangs. Her flaming red lips parted slightly, and she sprayed a mouthful of green poison into it. The water snake then charged into the lake.

Suddenly, purple light glowed across the lake surface. With a loud boom, like a thunderclap exploding, water splashed dozens of meters into the sky. A purple fire dragon opened its bloody maw and charged at Yue Mei. Facing the sudden attack, Yue Mei smiled faintly. A powerful surge of Dou Qi gathered toward her palms, forming a Dou Qi shield several zhang thick. The fire dragon slammed into the Dou Qi shield with a thunderous crash, but the shield remained completely undamaged. Suddenly, the purple fire dragon raised its head and rushed into the sky, transforming into arrows in midair before shooting toward the ground like meteors. The flaming arrows set the tents ablaze, and firelight instantly soared into the sky, illuminating the dark night as if it were day.

"You ran pretty fast." Looking at Jia Lie Jun several li away, Yue Mei giggled, but that laughter contained a dense killing intent, and her spring-water-like eyes were filled with cold light. "Continue guarding this place. Queen Medusa's breakthrough is imminent. If anything changes, send word immediately. I'll go after him." As soon as she finished speaking, she had already appeared several li away.

Jia Lie Jun desperately flapped his wings. The Purple Fire in his hand compressed into a sphere, and he hurled it fiercely at the desert. Thunderous explosions rang out again and again, blasting yellow sand into the sky, several dozen meters high. In an instant, a rain of yellow sand fell from the air.

"Little fellow, how cunning. But that won't work on big sister." Yue Mei formed seals at high speed and cried softly, "Condense." The yellow sand rapidly gathered into a giant python several dozen zhang long, tightly pursuing Jia Lie Jun.

"Life Transformation Rune Array, rise." Dozens of Spiritual Power Barriers rose from the ground. With a loud rumble, the sand snake slammed heavily into the Spiritual Power Barriers and shattered on impact.

"Quite a few tricks, huh?" Yue Mei frowned. Though the space ahead was completely empty, she could sense strong energy fluctuations radiating through the air. The Spiritual Power Barriers constantly shifted positions, surrounding Yue Mei. "Whoosh, whoosh" sounds rang out continuously as spiritual power arrows tore through the air and shot at Yue Mei from all directions.

Yue Mei brought her focus to its peak, not daring to be careless in the slightest. This was the first time she had encountered such a peculiar kind of energy. It was actually formless and transparent, and she could only judge it by the energy fluctuations it emitted. Suddenly, a powerful wave of Dou Qi swept out, and pale cyan Dou Qi rapidly covered Yue Mei's entire body, transforming into thick Dou Qi Armor. Little Dou Qi snakes crawled all over Yue Mei's body, then burst out and collided head-on with the spiritual power arrows. Bang, bang sounds rang out continuously.

Dou Qi wrapped around her fist, and Yue Mei punched fiercely forward. With a crack, a fissure appeared on the Spiritual Power Barrier. The crack spread continuously, and finally, with a bang, it shattered apart, then slowly dissipated into the air. "Little fellow, why are you running? When big sister catches you later, I'll be sure to dote on you properly." Yue Mei spoke with an alluring expression.

That seductive voice sounded behind him. Jia Lie Jun looked back and saw Yue Mei only several zhang away from him. "Pretty big sister, you keep chasing me and won't let go. Don't tell me you like me? But that won't do. I'm Queen Medusa's future husband, the man who will become the future king of your Snake People Tribe. I advise you to withdraw at once. Once I become the Snake People Tribe's son-in-law in the future, I'll definitely have Queen Medusa promote you properly."

Hearing this, Yue Mei burst into laughter, and the mountains immediately rose and fell. "Handsome little brother, are you still not awake? Otherwise, you wouldn't be daydreaming." Yue Mei spoke with a face full of charm. Then her figure flashed several times, and in the blink of an eye, she was already flying side by side with Jia Lie Jun. Her snake tail struck heavily toward Jia Lie Jun's back.

With a bang, Jia Lie Jun let out a muffled groan, and his body plummeted rapidly downward, smashing heavily into the desert and forming a huge pit. Jia Lie Jun was buried beneath the yellow sand. Yue Mei waved her jade hand, and the yellow sand rose. Jia Lie Jun lay quietly in the sandpit, then climbed to his feet. His hair was covered in yellow sand, and sand clung to his face as well, making him look rather wretched.

"Tell big sister, what were you trying to do by sneaking into the desert? Maybe if big sister is happy, I'll take you as my boy toy." Yue Mei stared at Jia Lie Jun with a bright smile, though the depths of her eyes were filled with killing intent. For the moment, she was not planning to kill him. She intended to torture him slowly, prying open his mouth bit by bit and making him reveal his purpose in sneaking into the Snake People Tribe. Besides, she was also very interested in that formless power.

"I'm not into using public buses for private business," Jia Lie Jun muttered quietly. Yue Mei looked puzzled and raised her fist.

"I'll talk." Jia Lie Jun immediately caved. Hearing this, Yue Mei was stunned, then lightly covered her cherry lips and giggled. "Handsome little brother, you really have no backbone. I thought big sister would have to torture you properly before you talked. But big sister likes you this way."

Jia Lie Jun said with a face full of grief and indignation, "Originally, I was a child from an ordinary family, living an ordinary, happy life with my childhood sweetheart, Xun Er. Then one day, an evil man named Xiao Yan suddenly came to our door. His strength was extremely high, and he hated the Snake People Tribe to the bone. Somehow, he heard that Queen Medusa was preparing to break through to Dou Zong. Seeing that my strength wasn't bad, he threatened me with Xun Er's safety and forced me to sneak into the Snake-People Tribe to gather information. I had no choice, so I could only obediently accept my fate."

Yue Mei's spring-water-like eyes stared straight at Jia Lie Jun, as if trying to see whether he was lying. However, when she heard that Queen Medusa was planning to break through to Dou Zong, she already believed him seventy to eighty percent.

"Big sister, let me join the Snake People Tribe. I want to take revenge on Xiao Yan and wipe away this hatred. Besides, marrying a snake-person has been my lifelong dream." Jia Lie Jun's eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred, making anyone who did not know the truth think he and Xiao Yan truly had a deep blood feud.
