Chapter 122

Earlier on the same day, Gu He and his group set off from Jia Ma Empire. It was no ordinary group, and apart from Gu He, it comprised ten people; seven Dou Spirits, two Dou Kings, and a peak Dou Emperor.

They were elite amongst the elite; everyone in the group had a unique identity and status in the empire. Therefore, one would need to think twice before dealing with them.

The group sat on the back of the fifth-tier flying magical beast and headed straight towards the capital of the snake-people tribe in the inner-most region of the Tager desert.

Everyone sat silently with different ideas in their minds. No one was solely present to help Gu He acquire the heavenly flame.

Few Dou Spirits' heads were filled with greed as they wanted to capture a few female snake-people and enslave them.

Apart from Gu He, the two other Dou Kings had old grudges against the snake-people, and they wanted to use it as an opportunity to weaken the opponent.

And Yun Yun was solely present to take the pills for her precious disciple. This was the plight of people who couldn't become an alchemist; otherwise, how could a peak Dou Emperor like Yun Yun agree to Gu He's request?

...

Outside the Desert Rock City's gate, a youth in black clothes stood with a reluctant expression; it was Xiao Yan.

He explored the cave in the past few days and was disappointed not to find the heavenly flame. Still, his expression returned to normal after finding Queen Medusa's scale.

He was reluctant to part with his elder brothers, whom he met after so long. But the heavenly flame was too crucial for Xiao Yan. His future depended on it. So he couldn't afford not to pursue it.

After taking one reluctant look at the gigantic city, Xiao Yan exhaled deeply. "It is time to try our luck," Xiao Yan muttered in his heart. Then, a pair of purple wings materialized on his back, and he soared into the sky.

...

Back to the present.

As the celebrations continued, no one noticed that the moon had replaced the sun in the sky. The tribe leaders let go of their status and drank wine with others.

Compared to the outside, the atmosphere in Xiao Ning's room was the opposite. With silence, there was a strange mood in the air.

Even though she had already prepared herself earlier, Medusa couldn't help but feel shy.

'What is this strange feeling?' Medusa thought in her mind. She secretly looked at Xiao Ning's face, and a struggled expression flashed on her face.

"Husband," Medusa muttered in a mosquito-like voice. Her face turned apple red as she spoke. It made her more charming than ever.

Xiao Ning heard her and his body stiffened for a moment; he turned to face her and stood stunned. Even after being immune to her charm, Xiao Ning couldn't stand her cute appearance.

Maybe only he, Xiao Ning, was blessed enough to live to see the domineering Queen Medusa behaving like this.

Medusa saw Xiao Ning's face, and she bit her lips. Then, after her momentarily internal struggle, she slowly came closer to him, stood on her toes, and locked her lips on his.

Xiao Ning's eyes widened as if a lightning bolt had struck him. He never imagined Medusa to be the one who would take the first step.

His pupils became dark golden as he felt her soft lips, and his breath became heavy.

Medusa felt his changes, and suddenly she pushed him to the bed. Then after taking a deep breath, she slowly undressed.

A body that could mesmerize any man alive stood naked in front of Xiao Ning in a few seconds. The perfect body which all men dreamed of was in front of him.

Xiao Ning's breath became faster, and the blood within his veins began to boil. Even with his powerful will, he couldn't think straight anymore. The desire hidden in the depths of his body took control.

Xiao Ning grabbed Medusa and pulled her on top of him the next instant. Then a night full of youthful passion and unending pleasure began. The unconcealed voices coming from within would make anyone blush. In the beginning, the two acted a bit awkwardly, but as the time progressed, they forgot about everything else.

...

Old Lin, in plain clothes, waited in the desert in the distance from the city. It was only a matter of time before the intruders arrived with his perception.

"I will make an exception today. Forgive me, master, for going against your order," he muttered.

Not long after, a group of people sitting on the back of a magical beast appeared in his sight. It was Gu He's group.

Old Lin smiled sinisterly after seeing them, but he did not move. He was curious about their purpose.

"Stop," Yun Yun, who covered herself in a black robe, spoke in a slightly different voice. Everyone, including Gu He, jumped off the magical beast and hovered in the sky.

They saw an old man standing near them, and cold sweat formed on their forehead. Because there were no wings behind the old man's back, and he stood leisurely in the air like he was on the ground.

'A Dou Ancestor!' The same thought popped up in everyone's mind.

Gu He clenched his teeth, moved forward, and spoke solemnly, "Senior, the junior's name is Gu He, a fifth-ranked alchemist from Jia Ma Empire. Is there any specific reason why senior stopped us?"

Old Lin chuckled lightly. His gaze swept through the group and stopped at Yun Yun's figure for an instant before he retracted his gaze. Finally, he asked softly, "No, there is no reason. Do me a favor and return from where you came from."

"Otherwise, die!" A pressure akin to thousands of mountains erupted from his frail body and pressed on Gu He and others. It was pure momentum without any killing intent mixed in it.

Gu He and others turned ugly the moment the pressure descended on them. Their bodies started sinking, and if they continued like this, it was only a matter of time before their bodies smashed to the ground.

Even Yun Yun, the strongest among them, couldn't resist and was in the same situation as them. What horrified them was that the strength of the kind-looking old man standing in front of them was far greater than they had imagined.
