It was getting close to dusk.

Half of the setting sun lingered on the mountain peak, and the twilight dyed the clouds on the horizon red.

[Xiao Yan: I've finally recovered enough from my injuries. Tonight I plan to sneak back to the Snake-People's royal city to seize the Strange Fire. They're guarding it too closely right now, and it's a bit difficult for me to handle it alone. Brothers, which of you two is free to come and lend a hand? @Lu Xian @Ye Fan]

[Ye Fan: What's the rush? Take your time honing your skills against those snake demons. They can't kill you anyway. Once you've honed your skills enough, spend another ten days or so in seclusion to break through to the Divine Bridge. Then you can easily snatch the Strange Flame.]

[Xiao Yan: Delay will only lead to unforeseen circumstances. Who knows what the Snake-People will do with the Strange Fire? I won't feel at ease until I get my hands on it. It's not too late to challenge them to a fight and hone my skills after I've seized the Strange Fire.]

[Ye Fan: There's no way around it. I just broke through and am currently consolidating my realm. My Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron is also in a critical stage of refinement, so I can't get away for the time being. You should ask Brother Lu for help.]

[Lu Xian: I do have some free time. I'm bored anyway. It would be nice to see the scenery of the desert and experience some exotic customs. You use a time-travel talisman, and I'll be there right away. Consider it a vacation.]

Xiao Yan sent Lu Xian a personalized red envelope.

[Xiao Yan: Don't let it go to waste.]

On the bustling streets of Tiandou City, Lu Xian, who had been sitting for an afternoon, finally got up and stretched his muscles.

Abstract value balance: 426000.

After Lu Xian's soul power was raised to the Soul King level, his internal soul power became even stronger. He replenished his abstract value while farming it, and in one afternoon he farmed more than 400,000. This efficiency was unparalleled, almost twice as much as before!

"Young man, are you about to leave?" The juice stall owner was a middle-aged man. He was very polite to Lu Xian and especially liked this handsome young man sitting outside his shop as a living advertisement. He often attracted many infatuated girls to come and chat with him, which made his business inside the shop much better.

Moreover, he once happened to see this young man, and he realized that he was no ordinary person. He flew away in a flash and was a very powerful Soul Master.

"yes!"

Lu Xian smiled faintly and replied, "I'm destined to be busy. Another long trip ahead. Boss, I'll come again next time!"

"You're welcome anytime."

The owner was very welcoming, saying, "From now on, the juice will be free for you."

Lu Xian smiled and waved his hand, then leisurely walked into a small alley on the side. A teleportation portal quietly opened in his path.

After a while, the alley was deserted and quiet.

Dou Qi Continent.

The Tagor Desert.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged beneath a weathered rock several tens of meters high. This was a shady spot where the weathered rock blocked the sun from the harsh desert sunlight. His lips looked dry, and his black outfit was tattered and stained with blood, as if he had just been through a fierce battle.

Even though it was almost dusk, the sun in the desert was still scorching, and the temperature was extremely hot and dry. The ground beneath our feet was baking and constantly radiating a suffocating heat. The heat slowly rose up, causing our vision to become somewhat distorted and blurred.

Lu Xian slowly stepped out of the teleportation portal. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Yan's disheveled appearance, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards.

"Hey! Isn't that Emperor Yan?"

"You've only been gone a short while, and you're already like this?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at that face, how did he get beaten up like that?"

He was teased several times as soon as he arrived, and Xiao Yan's face immediately darkened.

Damn it, wasn't it you, the thing that caused this whole mess of me turning into a horse pit by fighting spirit?

Otherwise, how could I have been chased down and beaten up by a group of snake people?

"I only look disheveled. In reality, how could those snake people be a match for me! If I weren't worried about the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, I wouldn't even need to ask you for help. I could have taken care of them all by myself!" Xiao Yan stood up and replied with a rather disdainful and stubborn tone.

"Ah, right, right, right!"

Lu Xian smiled but didn't expose him. He glanced around and then looked into the distance. It was his first time in a desert, and he found the scenery quite novel.

At first glance, everything in sight is a golden expanse, and the yellow sand underfoot, under the scorching sun, is almost like scalding hot iron pellets.

However, this temperature had no effect on Lu Xian at all. On the contrary, he felt that the sand was very soft and comfortable to walk on.

"Lead the way, Little Yanzi. I can't wait to see the Snake People's capital. A capital in the desert, how intriguing!"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "You want to see the royal city? I think you clearly just want to see the alluring snake woman, don't you?"

Lu Xian gave a thumbs up in surprise: "You even knew that? You really are a mind reader!"

"Those are fucking roundworms!" Xiao Yan shouted.

Two streaks of rainbow light rose up, one after the other, and instantly shot off into the distance.

In the vast desert, the wind and sand raged. The two of them braved the wind and sand and quickly rode the rainbow. The rainbow light was like a protective aura, blocking all the fine sand mixed with the wind that came towards them.

As night fell, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, a stark contrast to the daytime heat. A full moon slowly rose, clear as a silver plate, casting a cool glow that draped the desert in a dreamlike veil.

The undulating sand dunes in the distance outline a soft silhouette, and the sand glitters under the moonlight, intertwining with the tranquil moonlight to create a desolate beauty that is different from that of green mountains and clear waters.

At night, the wind in the Tagor Desert seems even more deafening than during the day.

"How much longer?"

Lu Xian had been flying with Xiao Yan on the rainbow for more than half an hour. This desert was frighteningly vast, and they still hadn't reached their destination.

"Soon!"

After calculating the distance in his mind, Xiao Yan said, "It's about another hundred miles or so before we reach the Snake-People's Royal City!"

"Brother Lu, with your help this time, the two of us can storm in through the main gate. Together, we'll smash those snake demons' heads to pieces, avenge our humiliation, and leave them with rivers of blood!"

Xiao Yan was furious after being beaten during the day, and now that his father was helping him, he was determined to get his revenge.

laugh--

Lu Xian suddenly braked abruptly in mid-air, his gaze fixed on a small black dot about ten miles away. Xiao Yan, who had overtaken it on his rainbow-riding flight, turned back, somewhat puzzled. "Brother Lu, why did you suddenly stop?"

"There's someone in that oasis. Judging from the intensity of their aura, I think it's very likely Queen Medusa." Lu Xian's gaze was fixed on the oasis. There was a hidden aura in that oasis, much stronger than the Amethyst Winged Lion King that Lu Xian had seen before.

A person with this level of aura in the Tagor Desert is very likely to be Queen Medusa.

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan excitedly said, "Let's capture their snake-people queen first, and then make them exchange her for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!"

"Let's dive over and check it out first."

Lu Xian called out and landed on the ground with Xiao Yan on a rainbow. Traveling on a rainbow would make them too conspicuous and easy to spot, but landing on foot would make them much smaller.

In addition, Lu Xian used his divine sense to conceal the fluctuations of his and Xiao Yan's auras, so as long as the two of them were careful, it would be almost impossible for them to be discovered.

The two stealthily made their way towards the oasis. The shallow footprints left behind on the surface of the yellow sand were soon covered by the wind and sand, hiding all traces beneath the desert.

The journey of more than ten miles was nothing to the two of them, and they soon approached the oasis. The dry desert air became much cooler and more humid as they got closer.

"With snake-men guarding her, it seems Queen Medusa is really here..." Xiao Yan said in a low voice.

"They're just a bunch of lowly maids, probably only at the Dou Shi or Da Dou Shi level. Ignore them."

Lu Xian's figure blended into the shadows of the oasis's vegetation, his movements elusive and ghostly in the night. Xiao Yan followed suit, taking his steps forward. The two were like phantoms in the night, and the snake-woman maids guarding the perimeter were too weak to detect their infiltration.

In a few breaths, Lu Xian and Xiao Yan swam to the center of the oasis. They could faintly hear the splashing sound of water being stirred ahead. The two looked at each other, and then grinned as if they had thought of something.

At the same time, he silently hid behind a large rock, peeking out to quietly look ahead.

Then they both showed disappointed looks, and put on their clothes!

Ahead lay a clear lake, its pristine waters reflecting the moonlight. Amidst the shimmering waves, the silhouette of a curvaceous woman emerged from the lakebed, tossing her long hair behind her back to the two men.

Her long hair clung to her snow-white shoulders, and drops of water clung to her delicate skin, then slid down her shoulders, across her alluring waist, and finally dripped into the lake, creating ripples.

Beneath the lake's surface, a bright red short skirt concealed a section of purple snake tail, appearing and disappearing, stirring the undercurrents and exuding a wild beauty.

Even from a distance of nearly a hundred meters, Lu Xian could still clearly see how supple and powerful her taut waist was. It was hard to imagine what breathtaking arcs that supple waist would twist in bed.

Lu Xian thought to himself: This waist, I could play with it for a year!

The woman casually brushed her long hair aside, then slowly turned around. Under the pale moonlight, her exquisite face was alluring and enchanting. Her beautiful, diamond-shaped eyes shimmered with a tender, spring-like allure, yet also held a cold, authoritative air befitting someone long accustomed to a high position.

Her gaze swept over the rock, seemingly oblivious.

They began to dance gracefully in the middle of the lake, oblivious to their own surroundings.

"As expected of Queen Medusa!"

Xiao Yan crouched behind the large rock and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Lu, should we make our move now?"

"You don't need to speak so softly. My divine sense is surrounding you, she can't hear you. As for taking action, there's no rush. Let's enjoy the show a bit more."

After Lu Xian responded, he peeked out again, noting that the scene of Queen Medusa dancing was not something that could be seen all the time.

Xiao Yan curled his lip at this, feeling that Lu Gou had probably taken a fancy to this snake spirit, and his fists might have gone limp by now, unable to bear to beat her.

Thinking about it from a more unethical perspective, I might have just jumped out to give this snake demon a good beating, only for Lu Gou to unleash his shameless nature and stage a hero's rescue, while also beating me up in the process.

Xiao Yan had no doubt that Lu Gou was capable of such a despicable act!

After all, Lu Gou's nickname wasn't given lightly. In Lu Gou's eyes, women were far more important than brothers. He had done countless things, like betraying his brothers to seduce a girl...

After thinking it over, Xiao Yan decided to wait and see.

In the middle of the lake.

A slender figure greets the bright moon, her posture as graceful as a serpent winding through the air. As she spins, her long hair cascades down like a waterfall, and her eyes, like spring water, gleam with a mysterious light. Her dance is sometimes gentle and sometimes powerful, with red petals fluttering and swirling around her like butterflies. She is alluring and enchanting, beautiful and majestic.

She seemed to be conversing with heaven and earth through her dance, infusing the snake people's prayers into this exotic dance.

"What is she doing? Admiring herself?" Xiao Yan also peeked out, staring intently.

"I told you to read more books, and now you know nothing, don't you?" Lu Xian explained with a sidelong glance, "This is the Snake-People Queen's blessing dance!"

"After she finishes this dance, she'll probably go back and use the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to advance her cultivation level!"

"what?"

Xiao Yan became anxious upon hearing this: "Shouldn't that be my strange fire? She took it and used it, what am I supposed to use?"

"Why are you panicking? Don't you even use your brain? Snake people are born with a cold constitution, how could they possibly absorb a strange fire? She's preparing to use the strange fire to temper her body, try to break through and establish herself, and glimpse the Dou Zong realm!" Lu Xian explained calmly.

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the strange fire was still there, that was good. "So, what's next?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Xian said, "Let's wait until she transforms with the strange fire. After she's transformed, it won't be too late for us to collect the strange fire."

I knew it!

Xiao Yan glanced at him speechlessly. "Brother Lu, I've noticed you're staring at this snake spirit so intently, could it be that you've taken a liking to her?"

"Weren't you watching intently too?" Lu Xian retorted.

"Tsk, I'm not like you. I only like Xun'er. As for other beauties, I can only admire them at most. What about you? Can you say that you only like Naiqi?"

Xiao Yan stared at him with a cold smile, while Lu Xian remained calm and composed.

"You don't understand. I just want to give all the girls in the world a warm home. Besides, this year is the Year of the Snake. If you don't play with snakes in the Year of the Snake, how can good luck accompany you?"

Xiao Yan was shocked. "No way! Her tail is a snake's tail? Even if you really subdue her, you still can't... you know, right? Can you even use it?"

"I don't even like snake tails. I can sleep with one in the summer and save on air conditioning costs..."

Xiao Yan: ...

You understand fetishes!

After a long silence, Xiao Yan finally spoke, "Brother Lu, may I ask you a question?"

"ask!"

"If I were to fight Queen Medusa right now, you would have to choose one person to help you—me or her?"

"Huo Huo, why would you ask such a stupid question? Do you know why the character for 'love' (爱) has the character for 'friend' (友) underneath?"

Why?

"Because love is above friendship!"

Xiao Yan's face darkened.

You son of a bitch!
