Breaking the Masked Man

If it's the former, then everything is easy to discuss.

If it is the latter, then it means that both Cai Lin and Cai Die will have to embark on the path of evolving different flames!

Think of this.

He couldn't help but look at Ling'er, who he had left sleeping soundly to the side. In the past few days, the little one had been like she was hibernating, lazily lying down and sleeping, seemingly digesting the accumulated essence of plants in her body.

Could it be that we'll have to rely on this little guy in the end?

Chapter 123 The purpose of life is to be happy.

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

On this day, a powerful aura erupted from the depths of the secret chamber, and the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open.

Immediately, a beautiful figure came into Yao Yan's view.

Like swallows returning to their nests, the newly emerged butterfly transformed into a streak of light and flew into Yao Yan's arms. Looking up at his exquisitely beautiful face, her clear, gentle peach blossom eyes filled with deep affection, she chuckled sweetly, "Young Master, have you missed me?"

Yao Yan casually put his arm around her slender waist, and upon hearing the familiar words, smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."

"I miss you too, young master~"

With a slight tightening of her fair arms, Cai Die wrapped her arms tightly around Yao Yan's neck. At this moment, she seemed to wish she could meld Yao Yan into her own body, while also letting Yao Yan experience Ling'er's 'pain'. The soft, warm thing in front of her was enough to suffocate a person.

Fortunately, Yao Yan is now a Dou Wang level expert, and his breath-holding skills are still very strong, so there is no question of resistance. He lets Cai Die express her joy.

The old man's slightly surprised voice rang in Yao Yan's ears: "Boy, you're having an affair with the current Medusa Queen?!"

He was no stranger to the Medusa Queen's clan, and had even had contact with them before. Because of this contact, Yao Lao naturally understood the nature of this race. It was no exaggeration to say that it was extremely difficult for a human to gain their affection. Even a Dou Zun powerhouse could not subdue them and could only obtain a warm corpse at most.

Once someone takes a liking to you, you'll be there for them through thick and thin.

They will only fall in love with one man in their entire lives!

"You're really being rude. What do you mean by 'having an affair'? We call this free love."

Yao Yan refuted Yao Lao's statement with his soul power, but his smile remained unchanged. He reached out and patted the rather excited Cai Die, saying, "Come down, so many people are watching."

Cai Die playfully stuck out her tongue, released her arm from Yao Yan, and then, as if she had thought of something, whispered in Yao Yan's ear, "Sister failed to break through. Don't make her angry later. I can feel that she is in a very bad mood right now."

As if to verify the words of the colorful butterfly, the cold-faced Queen Medusa slowly swam out of the secret chamber.

Her queenly attire remained unchanged, exuding a cold arrogance and regal bearing. With a sway of her waist, the hem of her purple skirt gently rocked, revealing an indescribable allure that stirred a fire within men. A moment later, she stood before Yao Yan and the others, her deep purple eyes glancing at Yao Yan. Her soft voice carried a hint of unease: "I have failed. It seems that the only way to break through to the Dou Zong realm is through that path!"

As she said this, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

As the current Medusa Queen, she could be ruthless to outsiders, and naturally she could also be ruthless to herself.

Compared to her foolish younger sister, she undoubtedly yearns for strength far more.

Yao Yan used his soul power to sense the condition of the two women.

Cai Die undoubtedly broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Huang realm, and the Imperial Pill was not wasted. Cai Lin's condition was a bit strange. His Dou Qi was much weaker than before. It seemed to have burst out briefly, but it dissipated again due to his physical condition and did not directly break through the barrier between Dou Huang and Dou Zong.

The bloodline shackles of the monster were like a genetic lock, binding her tightly and preventing her strength from progressing beyond its limits.

He pondered for a moment before speaking to reassure you, "It's not a complete failure. At least it allowed you to experience the feeling of a Dou Zong. This will only benefit you in your future breakthrough to Dou Zong, and will not do you any harm. As for the other path, there's no need to rush it for now. Your current condition is not suitable for trying it."

"This king knows."

Cai Lin glanced at Yao Yan, then looked at Hua She'er and Yue Mei behind him, before flying towards her palace without looking back. She needed to find a place to calm down. Perhaps she was indeed a little impatient, but seeing Yao Yan's strength improve so rapidly, how could she remain indifferent?

Especially since she is a strong-willed person, seeing someone who was originally 'weak' surpass her, only she knows how she felt.

"Isn't my sister scary when she's angry?"

After her sister had walked away, Cai Die whispered to Yao Yan. She clung to Yao Yan's arm, her little expression incredibly cute, as if she was afraid Cai Lin would hear.

"I think it looks pretty good!"

Yao Yan pondered for a moment before giving his evaluation. Perhaps it was just a personal preference, but he actually preferred aloof and mature women. Of course, he didn't reject sweet girls either... In short, he was open to anyone who was pretty; he really wasn't picky.

Confucius said: "Food and sex are human nature!"

A fondness for beautiful women is simply a man's nature.

Upon hearing this, Cai Die pouted angrily, glared fiercely at Yao Yan, and said jealously, "I knew that you liked my sister more, no wonder she always said that what you can't have is the best. You stinky young master, you bad young master, you heartless young master!"

As she spoke, she pinched Yao Yan's waist hard, but Yao Yan had mastered body tempering and his skin was thick and tough, so he didn't feel any pain.

However, Yao Yan wasn't stupid; he still cooperated by showing a pained expression.

"Ouch... Let go!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Die immediately released her grip, looking at Yao Yan suspiciously and pouting, "Young Master, don't lie to me. I didn't use any force."

"It really hurts."

Yao Yan said helplessly while rubbing her waist.

At this moment, Ling'er poked her head out of his arms. After sleeping for a while, the green color on its fur became more and more intense, and the aura of the second-level Green Wood Fox also surged to the third level, but its appearance remained the same, without much change.

"Ling'er, have you missed me?"

Cai Die wasn't really stupid; she knew Yao Yan was lying to her. So, the moment she saw Ling'er, she lowered her head to greet her. She really liked this cute and ungrateful little white-eyed fox.

What woman doesn't love cute things?

Rainbow Scales: ...

Ling'er tilted her head and then shrank back into Yao Yan's arms, seemingly unwilling to snuggle into Cai Die's embrace. It wasn't until Yao Yan pinched her neck and handed her over to Cai Die that the little one reluctantly lay down in her arms, her big, fluffy ears drooping, looking listless.

"You don't like me holding you that much~"

Looking at the little guy's expression, Cai Die couldn't help but mutter to herself. She couldn't understand why the little guy liked Yao Yan so much.

Yao Yan smiled. He knew why this little foodie didn't like Cai Die. It was because Cai Die's fighting spirit was cold, and as a spirit of a different kind of fire, he naturally wouldn't be very close to Cai Die. This was a matter of elemental restraint. Perhaps only if Ling'er truly possessed enough intelligence could this be changed.

"Cai Die, go to my room and wait for me for a while. I'm going to see your sister and talk to her about something."

He straightened his expression and said quite seriously.

Looking at Yao Yan's expression, Cai Die nodded obediently.

"You guys go too."

Yao Yan looked at Hua She'er and Yue Mei, signaling them to follow Cai Die, and then flew towards the palace where Cai Lin was.

Cai Die watched Yao Yan leave with tender eyes. After he entered the palace, she slowly turned and walked away. At the same time, the smile on her face faded slightly. She glanced at Hua She'er and Yue Mei beside her, and all the tenderness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a calmness. As if she had transformed into Cai Lin in an instant, she said calmly, "Sister asked you to serve the young master?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Flower Snake nodded in agreement, her posture remaining humble and respectful.

Yue Mei hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She hadn't had much contact with Cai Die, so she didn't know her personality and naturally didn't dare to say anything recklessly.

"So, are you...?"

Cai Die frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

Hua She'er and Yue Mei exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and remained silent. There were some things they couldn't resist. From the moment Cai Lin gave them to Yao Yan, some things were already destined. And Yao Yan was clearly not a gentleman. They were essentially throwing good money after bad.

Cai Die clenched her fist, feeling a pang of bitterness and resentment, yet helpless, and could only walk forward in silence.

……

the other side.

The old apothecary's tone was full of schadenfreude: "You let those two snake women go with your girlfriend, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will find out about your affair with them?"

"It's better to guide than to block. She'll find out sooner or later. Besides, this was arranged by her sister, and her sister doesn't want me to touch her too early."

Yao Yan remained composed, his tone even more calm.

"It was arranged by her sister, won't you refuse?"

The old doctor asked, puzzled.

Yao Yan remained calm and said, "Why should I refuse? I never said I would remain chaste for her, even though I like her very much."

"Sometimes I really doubt whether you're a young man or not."

Yao Lao couldn't help but complain, "Everyone was once a teenager. Teenagers are impulsive, passionate, lose their minds, and will do anything for love... But he couldn't find any trace of these traits in Yao Yan. The other person was like an adult, extremely calm in his actions, and had his own set of principles, although those principles were quite flexible."

"With more experience, you will naturally mature."

Yao Yan smiled and said nonchalantly that he was long past the age of being willing to do anything for love, and besides, having come to this vast world, why would he draw any more rules and regulations for himself?

People live for freedom and to make themselves happier.

Chapter 124 It got robbed already?!

Human sorrow is not shared; you should never expect others to understand your pain.

Just like this moment.

Yao Yan was in a very good mood. Ever since he started cultivating the Burning Technique and using it to devour the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, he felt much more relaxed. The constraints and pressures he used to feel were greatly reduced because he knew that he now had the resources to continue playing in the Dou Qi Continent and the confidence to play until the end.

If he was once merely Hun Xuzi's 'puppet,' then he now undoubtedly possesses the ability to retaliate.
