Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 87 Thunder from the Sky

"Second brother, are you injured?"

Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Li, whose left hand was bandaged, and asked with some surprise.

At this time, he and Hai Bodong returned to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. Medusa did not accompany them but waited outside the city.

Her figure was too conspicuous, and if she came to a human city, the Gama Empire would misunderstand her, thinking that the snake people had designs on the human border.

Especially now, with Xiao Bai promising to help her evolve her strange fire, she doesn't want any conflict with the Jia Ma Empire and prioritizes her own breakthrough.

"Hmph! It's just a minor injury!" Xiao Li snorted coldly, speaking disdainfully. Although injured, he seemed to be in good spirits.

Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding told Xiao Bai about their experience on the way back.

The Sand Mercenary Group, Rob Yao?

"I understand!" Xiao Bai said calmly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Where's Qinglin?" Xiao Bai looked around but didn't see the little girl.

"Young master, young master!"

Before Xiao Ding could answer, a soft, sweet voice came from behind, and a figure in green hurriedly ran out from the backyard.

"Why are you running so fast! Aren't you afraid of falling?" Xiao Bai looked at the panting little girl in front of him, gently tapped her head, and scolded her.

"Hehe~ Qinglin wants to see Young Master as soon as possible!" The little girl smiled foolishly at him, two dimples appearing on her face.

Seeing Qinglin's adorable, dazed expression, Xiao Bai couldn't help but pat her little head.

"I'm leaving!" Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, then took out 100,000 gold coins from his storage ring.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Ding was a little displeased, and Xiao Li's face also turned cold. Then Xiao Ding said:

"Are you treating us like outsiders? We're just helping you dig a tunnel, it's not a big deal!"

Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "These gold coins aren't for you, they're for the mercenaries who were killed or wounded. Remember to give them double the compensation!"

Then he took out three porcelain bottles from his storage ring. These were pills refined by Xiao Bai. Although they were only first-grade, they contained the Qi of Yi Wood, which had a miraculous effect on healing injuries.

"This is for you! Take it!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had no choice but to accept it.

"You have everything on you, right?" Xiao Bai looked down at Qing Lin.

"Mmm...it's all in the ring Young Master gave Qinglin!" The little girl shook the storage ring on her hand, nodded and smiled.

Xiao Bai bought this ring in Wutan City. He bought three at the time: one for Little Fairy Doctor, one for Qing Lin, and the last one contained a strange fire.

"Take care!" Xiao Bai nodded to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, picked up Qing Lin, wings appeared behind him, and he soared into the sky, with Hai Bodong following closely behind.

"Sigh! I don't know how this guy cultivated!" Xiao Li sighed with envy as he looked at Xiao Bai's figure in the sky.

When he returned, Xiao Ding told him about what happened underground. He was so shocked to hear that Xiao Bai was a Dou Wang that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

He had fought with Xiao Bai before, and although he couldn't discern Xiao Bai's cultivation level, he assumed that Xiao Bai was at most a few minor cultivation levels higher than him.

Who knew this guy was so strong? Does that mean Xiao Bai was just being lenient with them back then?

"Take it slow!" Xiao Ding patted his second brother's shoulder and comforted him with a wry smile.

Just as the two were seeing Xiao Bai off, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and a crimson bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed somewhere in the city.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were stunned. They had been watching Xiao Bai the whole time and knew that the lightning bolt just now had come from him.

"Big brother, which direction is that...?" Xiao Li looked at Xiao Ding in disbelief at the direction the lightning had struck.

"That's right, that's the direction of the Sand Mercenary Group!" Xiao Ding nodded affirmatively.

At this moment, the Sand Mercenary Group was completely silent.

On the mercenary group's training ground, hundreds of people watched in disbelief as a thunderclap sounded in the sky and a streak of crimson lightning fell.

Rob, the leader of the mercenary group who was gathering his members to guard against the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, was instantly cleaved into a blackened charcoal. Even Mo Xing, who was standing next to him, was affected and fell to the ground, his flesh mangled.

"Run! Run! The mercenary group is finished!"

"That's right, the commander must have offended a powerful figure. I just saw someone flying overhead!"

"Flying over? That means they must be at least a Dou Wang level expert! No way, I'm leaving the mercenary group. I'm no longer a member of the Sand Mercenary Group!"

"Yes, yes, neither of us. How about we join the Desert Iron Army? I heard the benefits there are pretty good!"

"Okay! Let's go! Together, together!"

Xiao Bai and his two companions arrived at a sand dune outside the city. Xiao Bai was not particularly disturbed by what had just happened; it was just a matter of a bolt of lightning.

Looking at the beautiful figure standing not far away with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distance, Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat.

She wore a red and gold brocade robe, her delicate and full figure was like a ripe peach, and her black hair was not bound by a crown, but was casually scattered behind her head, hanging down to her slender waist.

From Xiao Bai's perspective, her perfectly alluring profile was bathed in the soft golden light of the setting sun, making her appear both enchanting and divine.

She possesses both qualities, along with an innate elegance and nobility, making her incredibly alluring.

"What a femme fatale!" Xiao Bai's heart trembled violently, and he couldn't help but sigh silently. This was still before she grew legs. If she broke through, her allure would probably be even greater.

However, thinking of her temper, Xiao Bai immediately shook his head.

If you can conquer this woman, there's absolutely nothing to say. Medusa was devoted to only one person her whole life until death. She was simply a model of a beautiful, strong, and family-oriented virtuous wife.

"All done?" Medusa turned to look at Xiao Bai and said calmly.

At this moment, she exuded a calmness and grace that seemed to come from within, as if she were born with it. Regardless of the protection of others, she could hold up the sky on her own.

"This is... a child born from a snake-person and a human?" Medusa asked, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes as she saw Qinglin.

It should be noted that snake people and humans can hardly have offspring. Even if there is a negligible chance, the children born rarely live past the age of two. But this little girl in front of me seems to be over ten years old.

"Her name is Qinglin, and she is my maid!" Xiao Bai introduced with a smile.

"Heh~ Maid," she glanced at Xiao Bai with disdain, seemingly recalling the scene when this stinky man said he wanted to take her as a pet and maid.

"What? Regretting not becoming my maid?" Xiao Bai ignored her disdain and teased her.

"Men... there isn't a single good one!" Medusa glanced at Xiao Bai indifferently and uttered a leisurely sentence from her red lips.

He then looked at Qinglin and beckoned to her: "Little one, come here!"

Qinglin looked at her young master, and seeing him nod slightly, she walked over and said in a soft voice, "Qinglin greets beautiful sister!"

Medusa's gaze softened as she looked at the little girl before her, pointed to her own snake tail, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Qinglin shook her little head and said, "Don't be afraid, Qinglin has scales too!" As she spoke, the little girl showed the scales on her arm.

Medusa looked at the blue scales on her wrist with a complicated expression. After a long while, she sighed softly.

"You don't hate Qinglin?" Xiao Bai asked slowly, noticing her expression.

"Why should I hate her? She's just an innocent little girl! Besides, she has snake-people blood, so she's one of my people. Have you ever seen a king hate his own people?"

Medusa glanced at him sideways and said coldly, her face expressionless.
