Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 98 Cute Little Snake (Bonus Chapter, another 10,000-point reward, thank you)

"Ugh!!"

The shrill, mournful cry emanating from the temple shattered the tranquil night and resounded throughout the entire ancient holy city!

Now,

Everyone looked up in horror toward the direction of the temple in the holy city.

Some people wanted to go to the temple where the purple light was blazing, but they were blocked by the purple energy barrier. This barrier was prepared by Queen Medusa long ago, and even a Dou Huang powerhouse would find it difficult to open.

"Her Majesty the Queen..."

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Hua She'er looked up into the distance with some worry.

"So, they really want to use a different kind of fire to achieve extreme evolution? That's truly insane," the mysterious woman in black robes in the distance murmured.

At this moment, the temple was already enveloped by a layer of purple energy barrier, making it difficult for her to enter for the time being. Therefore, she could only wait outside with the snake people for the final result of the evolution.

……

……

……

the other side,
The blue flame above the temple was burning fiercely, and within it, the purple serpent, which was tens of meters long, was frantically writhing its huge body. The scales on its body began to twist and deform rapidly shortly after entering the strange fire, and were eventually forcibly burned and melted by the strange fire!
After the snake scales melted and fell off, bright red flesh was revealed, and blood gushed out. However, the blood was also burned into nothingness by the terrifying temperature of the strange fire the moment it appeared. The bloody flesh without scales was instantly charred black under the burning of the strange fire!
It's like peeling off a person's fingernail and then burning it with a red-hot iron! It's probably a thousand times more painful than that kind of torture!
"Ugh!!"

Within the blue flames,

After nearly half an hour of high-pitched screams, Queen Medusa's voice gradually weakened, and the purple serpent's enormous body had stopped tumbling in the air!

"Boom!"

A muffled thunderclap resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
Thick dark clouds suddenly enveloped the entire holy city of the Serpent People. Gale-force winds raged across the sky, and even the bright moon was swallowed by endless darkness. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as the dark clouds rolled, like the roar of thousands of ferocious beasts.

A suffocating atmosphere permeated the air, making even breathing difficult!
Then a thunderclap exploded!
in an instant,
The pitch-black night sky was instantly illuminated by a bolt of lightning, followed by a massive silver thunderbolt that shot down from the dark clouds, piercing through the purple light barrier and striking the giant purple serpent engulfed in strange fire!
In the vast ancient city,
The atmosphere fell slightly silent for a moment, as everyone was stunned by the sudden thunder.

As Queen Medusa's chilling, piercing screams faded away, the entire city gradually fell into a deathly silence.

"What was that lightning tribulation just now? Could it be that Queen Medusa has successfully evolved?" Gu He's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a low voice with a hint of shock.

"Not sure."

The mysterious woman in black robes beside him shook her head slightly.

"Should we retreat now?" Gu He asked hesitantly, his brows furrowed. He was worried that Queen Medusa had already successfully evolved.

"Let's wait and see. Even if she successfully evolves, finding a quiet place to stabilize her cultivation and heal her injuries is the wisest course of action," the woman in black said calmly.

Gu He nodded, and the fighting spirit within his body gradually surged, ready to retreat at any moment.

Although the purple light barrier had been shattered by the heavenly lightning, the explosion of the 'heavenly tribulation,' 'strange fire,' and 'purple light barrier' was like a special chemical reaction, forming a thick, bluish-purple fog that flickered with faint arcs of electricity, looking quite eerie.

Judging from their appearance, just a tiny bit of them would be enough to cause spontaneous combustion, so even a Dou Huang level expert could only patiently wait for them to dissipate on their own!
now,

In this ancient holy city,
The eyes of countless snake-people were focused on the temple shrouded in mist, their hearts filled with unease and anticipation. The power and majesty of the Medusa Queens throughout the ages had always been like a deity, serving as the faith and pillar of the snake-people. The final result of this evolution would undoubtedly affect the survival of their entire snake-people race!

……

……at the same time,

A tall, serene figure with silver hair slowly emerged from inside the temple. Using some unknown method, the figure ignored the eerie fog and easily entered the temple without anyone noticing.

"Failed?"

Xiao Yue stood on the ruins of the temple.
A faint purple smoke and blue mist lingered around her. The magnificent palace built in the heart of the lake had long since collapsed in the terrifying heavenly calamity. It reflected a faint glow under the moonlight, adding a touch of poignant beauty to the desolate scene.

On the ground ahead,

The once slender snake body, covered with beautiful purple scales, was now charred black. Its massive body, which was over ten meters long, was now reduced to a small section, a testament to its tragic state.

"In the end, they still didn't choose to trust me..."

He slowly picked up a pill that shone with spiritual light from the scorched ground.

Upon seeing this, a strange look flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes. She sighed softly, feeling a sense of regret and sorrow, along with a subtle sadness.

During these days together,
She actually admired the Snake-People Queen quite a bit, knowing that she wasn't as cold and ruthless as the rumors suggested. Her courage to let the strange fire consume her was not only a desire for a higher realm, but also for the countless tribespeople suffering in this desert behind her.

They stood there in silence for a moment.
Xiao Yue placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the giant snake's corpse, then waved her hand to retrieve the raging blue lotus flame in the air. This was part of the deal with Queen Medusa; regardless of whether the other party successfully evolved, the flame would ultimately belong to her.

"Eh…"

After taking one last look at the black, mangled corpse of the giant snake, Xiao Yue sighed softly and turned to leave. However, just as she turned to leave, a faint wriggling sound caught her attention.

Xiao Yue couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
Her long, silvery-white hair swayed gently in the night breeze. Xiao Yue looked down at the charred remains of the body and saw that the remains of the purple snake were actually wriggling slightly.

after that,

Under Xiao Yue's gaze,
The charred remains of the giant snake, which appeared to have been dead for a long time, miraculously concealed a glimmer of life! At that moment, a tiny and fragile life quietly emerged from its charred body!

"Crack!"

The charred, blackened remains of the giant snake, lying stiff and limp on the ground, suddenly began to slowly peel off its charred skin! It seemed as if something was about to burst forth from its body.

This is a slender little snake less than ten centimeters long, with pale purple eyes and its body covered with tiny, iridescent scales. It is so beautiful that it is almost excessive. Such a beautiful little creature would probably make even some human women who are naturally afraid of snakes forget their fear and disgust in front of it.

The little creature didn't seem afraid of the silver-haired human in front of it. It slowly poked its head out and looked around at the world with its big, adorable eyes full of curiosity.

Xiao Yue's eyes flickered slightly. She slowly squatted down and reached out her slender fingers to touch the small snake.

"Hiss-"

The little snake flicked its delicate tongue, making a soft hissing sound.

When its gaze fell on Xiao Yue's outstretched, slender fingers, it seemed to sense a familiar aura. It felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Xiao Yue and slowly swam towards her, extending its small, delicate tongue to gently lick her fingers.

in an instant,
The soft, slightly moist touch of that delicate little tongue traveled through Xiao Yue's fingertips, causing her fingers to involuntarily retract slightly. That silky softness seemed to gently pluck a string deep within her heart.

"I never expected it would actually succeed..."

Xiao Yue said softly,
She stretched out her slender, long fingers and gently stroked the snake's body. The delicate scales seemed like the most exquisite works of art under her fingertips. Each touch felt like an electric current passing through her heartstrings, bringing a wonderfully warm feeling.
