Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 41 Entering Stone Desert City, Little Girl Qinglin!

"Could such a genius be from Central Plains?"

Hai Bodong had now regained his former strength as a Dou Huang. He transformed his Dou Qi into wings and hovered in mid-air outside Mo City.

He watched in a daze as Gu Fei and Little Fairy Doctor rode away on the enormous flying magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and murmured to himself.

Hai Bodong could certainly recognize that the enormous magical beast was the overlord of the outer edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a sixth-tier magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

A sixth-order magical beast is equivalent to a human Battle Emperor in cultivation. The Amethyst Winged Lion King is even at the mid-sixth order. Even he has to be careful when facing it head-on.

Now that Hai Bodong's cultivation has been restored and the seal has been broken, the once-dominant Ice Emperor has finally returned in full force.

His cultivation was sealed away by Queen Medusa, leaving him to live a miserable and aimless life in Stone Desert City, tending to a small shop.

Perhaps Hai Bodong was lucky this time, running into Gu Fei, or perhaps he was unlucky, being extorted by Gu Fei and losing a large sum of money.

In the past, the unruly Ice Emperor might have had a good fight with Gu Fei.

Now, after so many years of reflection, he has lost the spirit he once had.

Moreover, although he couldn't see through Gu Fei's strength, he could still sense the terrifying energy hidden within that seemingly frail young man's body.

Therefore, the sudden surge in strength did not cause Hai Bodong to have any ill intentions towards Gu Fei.

He was certain that Gu Fei's strength far surpassed his own.

The aura that Gu Fei emitted that time was much stronger than when Hai Bodong faced Queen Medusa back then.

Hai Bodong's intuition told him that this unpredictable young man was extremely dangerous.

Although Hai Bodong didn't know the purpose of those fragmented maps that held unknown treasures, he still had a clue about them.

The secrets hidden behind these fragments of maps are definitely not small.

After all, it was because of these fragments of the map that he was hunted down by Queen Medusa back then.

He ended up in a sorry state, with his cultivation sealed and forced to hide and flee.

Queen Medusa was no ordinary woman; she was the absolute queen of the Serpent People.

Proud and powerful as she is, this is probably the first time she has gone to such lengths, to find Hai Bodong and those fragments of the map, to search for him personally.

"I've been gone for so long, it's time to go back to the capital and see how my old buddies are doing!"

A moment later, Hai Bodong gently exhaled a breath of stale air, his brows relaxed, and he finally put aside the thoughts of Gu Fei and the incomplete map in his mind.

He spent too much energy and time on these things.

Now that Gu Fei had taken them all away, he felt a long-lost sense of relief.

After all, guarding the treasure and constantly fearing that Queen Medusa might appear before him and mercilessly annihilate him was an extremely arduous task.

This time, Gu Fei has finally freed himself from a heavy burden.

Before leaving, Hai Bodong took one last look at the enormous city situated on the edge of the desert where the land meets the desert.

Yellow sand filled the sky, and enthusiastic people thronged the streets. Everything was so familiar, yet today we were suddenly saying goodbye.

Hai Bodong had also thought that he might grow old in Shimo City in constant fear, but fortunately, someone gave him the opportunity to go back.

He sighed softly, his expression slightly melancholy. These decades of seclusion had made him, who was originally very indifferent, develop some feelings for this place.

Hai Bodong did not look back, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

He didn't know if he would ever come back in this lifetime.

The old shop on the street corner quietly closed down, and no one knew where the old shopkeeper had gone; all that was known was that the shop had never reopened.

……

Meanwhile, as the Lion King carried Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian deeper into the desert, the surrounding climate became increasingly hot.

However, while atop the Amethyst Winged Lion King, shielded by an energy barrier, Little Fairy Doctor did not feel the heat.

She sat on the lion king's broad back, gazing at the scenery below.

The difference between this place and Qingshan Town is so great that even though Little Fairy Doctor has seen it several times, she still can't help but marvel.

Along the way, they saw a lot of local customs and culture, and even saw snake people, which aroused great curiosity in Little Fairy Doctor.

"So this is a snake-man? Brother Gu Fei, walking with a snake's tail seems quite unique!"

Little Fairy Doctor wasn't afraid of these snake-like creatures.

Her eyes were filled with innocent curiosity.

Gu Fei simply smiled and didn't tell her what kind of terrifying existence the snake people were to humans.

One day, Little Fairy Doctor yawned and looked down again.

But what they saw was a battle between snake people and humans in the desert below.

There were more than a dozen tall snake-men who surrounded seven or eight humans.

The snake-men were tall and physically strong, making the humans among them appear weak and pitiful.

At this point, Gu Fei began to explain that most snake people loathe humans and are cruel, with many killing anyone they see.

If nothing unexpected happens, all of these humans will be killed in this siege.

The Serpent People and the humans of the Gama Empire are mutually hostile, to the point that they attack each other upon first meeting.

This hatred has accumulated over time, and there is no absolute right or wrong; it is a disaster for both sides.

Originally, Gu Fei had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

However, when Little Fairy Doctor saw this scene, she did not hesitate to ask Gu Fei for help.

"Brother Gu Fei, please help them!"

Little Fairy Doctor spoke in a pleading tone, her eyes filled with pity.

Because she saw that among the humans below, there was a woman holding a child.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei glanced at Little Fairy Doctor. The panic in her eyes made Gu Fei feel her kindness once again.

Since Little Fairy Doctor had spoken, how could Gu Fei remain unmoved?

So he immediately ordered the lion king to fly in that direction.

The lion's size was so great that even before it got close, it terrified both sides, causing them to scatter and flee, thus giving the humans a sliver of hope.

……

At the Lion King's speed, it only took half a day to approach Stone Desert City, the city furthest from the border of the Gama Empire.

Upon arriving here, Gu Fei paused for a moment.

He remembered that Qinglin, the poor girl with half human blood and half snake-human blood, was in this city.

According to Gu Fei, Qing Lin is kind-hearted, but she has suffered unfair discrimination and abuse since childhood.

Even with such great talent, it has never been unleashed.

So, Gu Fei had an idea.

He wanted to train Qinglin ahead of time.

Perhaps only when she becomes powerful will those who once discriminated against and insulted her dare not do so again, and only then can she obtain fairness instead of unwarranted abuse and insults.

Moreover, Qinglin is a significant character in the original work, and her luck must be good. If she can stay by his side for a long time, it will be very helpful for Gu Fei to collect emotional points.
