Not only were the snake-people unable to understand, but Dan Wang Guhe and the others were also dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unsure of what to say.

"Your Majesty, he is a human! How can he be your husband? Leave him!" The young tribal chief, with his colorful, serpentine tail, was glaring angrily, his hand gripping his weapon trembling with rage. Queen Medusa was the goddess he had always dreamed of, even if she was the Queen herself. Otherwise, what had driven him to risk his life all these years?

Seeing Queen Medusa's apparent confusion, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly interrupted her, turned to the snake-people, and softened his tone slightly, saying, "That's enough for you snake-people for today. I will come back to find you while we wait for it!"

"You too, get out of here!" Turning to face Dan Wang Guhe and the others, Xiao Xuanyuan roared. If he hadn't asked Yao Lao to intervene, Guhe and the others would probably have lost their lives here. Even a Dou Huang level expert like Yun Yun wouldn't have survived, since they were facing Queen Medusa, who had advanced to the Dou Zong level.

Yun Yun wasn't particularly moved by the fact that the man in black had managed to trick Queen Medusa into his clutches with just a few words. She was still somewhat grateful to him, after all, she would have been dead if he hadn't come to her rescue. As for that rather familiar feeling she had just experienced, she quickly forgot about it. How could that boy in the Monster Mountain Range possibly have such strength?

Thinking this, Yun Yun cupped her hands in thanks, turned around with complicated thoughts, gently flapped the azure wind wings on her back, and flew away. Gu He and the others followed closely behind. Faced with the unpredictable situation, which was no longer under their control, leaving as soon as possible was the only right choice.

Seeing Yun Yun leave, Xiao Xuanyuan finally felt relieved. Turning to look at the still-clamoring snake-people, he shook his head slightly and took Queen Medusa's hand, saying, "Natasha, let's go. Let's ignore these snake-people."

"Okay." Queen Medusa nodded obediently.

"You are not allowed to take Her Majesty the Queen away!" At this moment, the leaders of the eight major tribes of the Snake-Man race were united in their hatred and stepped forward to stop them, along with many powerful members of the Snake-Man race.

"What? Are you trying to stop me from taking my wife away?" As he said this, the old doctor made his move. With a flick of his sleeve, a streak of light shot out, instantly sending the eight leaders flying backward. With another flick of his hand, he sent many of the snake-people's powerful members flying in the same direction.

"Can you please not hurt these people?" Perhaps it was an inner calling or a blood connection, but Queen Medusa stopped Yao Lao from killing them. Yao Lao didn't speak, but glanced at the beauty in his arms, then opened a path, simply repelling the snake people without harming their lives.

To a powerful figure like Yao Lao, these snake people were just small fry, and he dealt with them in no time. Afterwards, he took Queen Medusa and flew away. In no time, their figures disappeared into the distant horizon, leaving behind many snake people who wanted to chase after them but could not catch up and looked at each other in bewilderment!

About fifteen minutes later, Yao Lao, accompanied by Queen Medusa, arrived at a city in the Tagor Desert. Yao Lao returned to his ring, and Xiao Xuanyuan emerged. After landing, he led Queen Medusa into the city.

After a leisurely stroll through the city, Xiao Xuanyuan had gathered all the necessary materials and supplies. He and Queen Medusa then rested for a day at an inn, and once they were fully refreshed, they returned to the Monster Mountain Range together. This time, he planned to absorb the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame he had acquired!

After searching the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Xuanyuan finally found a waterfall cave, somewhat similar to the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain in mythology. After instructing Queen Medusa to guard outside, he began the final preparations for devouring and refining! Having previously devoured the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame and the Dragon Flame Strange Fire, Xiao Xuanyuan was now quite experienced in devouring and refining strange fires, and he made the final preparations with ease.

Even so, Xiao Xuanyuan did not dare to be careless. He continued to adjust his breathing step by step to restore his peak condition and prepare a lot of materials before he began to devour.

"Heaven and earth appear, cycles of reincarnation begin, energy condenses, and a strange fire is born..."

A tiny, suppressed flame had barely appeared in the air when, in an instant, the surrounding temperature skyrocketed, water vapor billowed, and a misty fog enveloped everything. Without hesitation, Xiao Xuanyuan snapped his eyes open, opened his mouth, and inhaled. The small flame, releasing terrifyingly high temperatures, entered his mouth, instantly enveloped by a special energy, and traveled into his abdomen…

Three hours later, the Water Curtain Cave under the waterfall evaporated and disappeared, revealing a huge pit. Xiao Xuanyuan was sitting in the middle of it, surrounded by water mist. However, the area around him was like a vacuum, with even the air evaporated.

A sudden, long howl pierced the surrounding silence, tearing through the sky and reaching the highest heavens, startling the surrounding magical beasts and birds into fleeing in terror. Xiao Xuanyuan abruptly stood up. At this moment, his aura surged, soaring like a flying dragon. He progressed through the ranks of Dou Shi: five stars, five and a half stars, five stars full… breakthrough, initial six stars, stabilized, six stars full… seven stars, eight stars, nine stars full… finally, he broke through to the Dou Shi level, reaching the Great Dou Shi level, one star full, still a little short of two stars!

"You've reached the level of a one-star Grand Dou Master, just one step away from becoming a two-star Grand Dou Master. Not bad, not bad!" Inside the ring, Yao Lao stroked his long white beard and nodded.

At the same time, the Burning Technique also advanced rapidly, from the intermediate level of the Profound Rank to the advanced level of the Profound Rank... but it almost became an Earth Rank technique, only remaining between the advanced level of the Profound Rank and the Earth Rank!

Chapter 137 An Obedient Wife

"Hmm, not bad. I'm at the peak of a one-star Great Dou Master, just one step away from becoming a two-star Great Dou Master. Hehe... The Burning Technique is also a near-Earth-rank technique. I'll see if I can find some strong special flames to help the Burning Technique advance to the Earth-rank!" Xiao Xuanyuan was quite satisfied. With a thought, the fusion flame hidden in his Soul Absorption surged out. This powerful flame, a mixture of Purple Flame, Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, Dragon Flame, and Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, was now silvery-blue!

"Appear!" Xiao Xuanyuan shouted, and the fused flames appeared from his palm. The surrounding plants withered instantly and turned to ash. Even the water vapor in the air evaporated into nothingness. After the flames appeared, everything nearby was burned to nothingness, and the flames continued to spread to distant places. The rocks and stones around Xiao Xuanyuan's feet melted continuously.

Whoosh... The flames kept rising and flickering in the wind, but gradually, Xiao Xuanyuan felt that the silver-blue flames in his palm were becoming somewhat out of control, constantly releasing extremely terrifying temperatures. He tried to control the ground beneath his feet, but the rocks were melting and collapsing faster. His soul perception was being consumed more and more, and gradually, the meridians in his body began to burn and ache. He felt pain, and this pain was intensifying!

"It's over, kid! You advanced too fast, your level jumped too fast, and now you can't control the strange fire!" Seeing this, Yao Lao immediately reacted and released his powerful soul perception. With the help of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he instantly suppressed the strange fire and energy that was constantly overflowing from Xiao Xuanyuan's body. With Yao Lao's help, Xiao Xuanyuan gradually regained control and finally put the fused silver-blue flame back into his storage space!

"Phew!" After letting out a long breath, Xiao Xuanyuan looked helplessly at Yao Lao and asked, "Yao Lao, what should we do now? Is there any quick way to stabilize my current strength?" He had seen everything that had just happened. Perhaps he had been too eager to improve his strength, and now, because of this, his realm was unstable, which was a side effect, like a defect or gap in his strength. If this gap wasn't filled, it would have an extraordinary impact on his future advancement, or it would affect his performance in battle, giving his opponents an opportunity to take advantage!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan's brows furrowed.

"I do have a way, but it depends on whether you dare to do it!" The old man pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xiao Xuanyuan to see his reaction.

Xiao Xuanyuan frowned and said, "Speak! I've done anything for strength! I've even risked my life, faced death, so what else wouldn't I dare to do!"

The old apothecary nodded slightly and said, "I was right about you, kid. You've got guts. Let me tell you this..." As he spoke, the old apothecary leaned close to Xiao Xuanyuan's ear and used a secret technique to transmit his voice. No one else could hear it except the two of them.

"Hmm, I see. Anyway, there's no other way but to do it..." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded in agreement. After Yao Lao finished speaking, he also took a deep look at Queen Medusa, then disappeared in mid-air and vanished into the ring.

Seeing Queen Medusa frowning and staring blankly at him from a distance, Xiao Xuanyuan beckoned to her and said, "Natasha, come here, I have something to tell you!" Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa hesitated for a moment, then instantly rushed over. When she arrived, she asked in confusion, "Husband, what do you want me to do? It seems you couldn't control your fighting spirit just now, causing chaos around us..." Queen Medusa was a Dou Zong level expert who had advanced to the next level. Even when the silver-blue flames burned the surrounding area, they couldn't harm her. She simply blocked them with a layer of fighting spirit defensive energy shield.

"Come closer..." Xiao Xuanyuan tempted Queen Medusa. Queen Medusa moved even closer.

"Come closer, come closer, come right in front of me, face to face." Looking at Queen Medusa gradually approaching in mid-air, Xiao Xuanyuan waved helplessly, as she was already quite far away.

At Xiao Xuanyuan's repeated requests, Queen Medusa couldn't help but roll her eyes like a little girl, but she still flew to his side. Dou Zong level experts can generally fly in the air without relying on any external force to stay in the void, unlike Dou Zong level experts. Even Dou Huang level experts need to use Dou Qi to condense flying wings to fly and stay in the air!

Xiao Xuanyuan scooped her up in his arms and said softly, "Will you do whatever your husband says tonight? Your husband will cherish you!"

"Hmm, but husband, the flames you were cultivating just now were terrifying. If those flames exploded inside your body, I bet you would..." Queen Medusa looked at him with curiosity and longing.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This is my Heavenly Rank Battle Technique, my life. How could it possibly harm its master?" Xiao Xuanyuan pressed his finger lightly against her lips, stopping her from continuing.

"Oh, but you couldn't control it just now!" Queen Medusa blinked, looking like an adorable, curious child.

"As long as you listen to your husband tonight, not only will he make you incredibly happy, but you can also help him with his work..." Xiao Xuanyuan said, his eyes full of tenderness, and gently kissed her.

In the blink of an eye, daylight was replaced by a sky full of stars, their light shining brightly, with streaks of starlight occasionally streaking across the horizon. The night was exceptionally beautiful, but within the Monster Mountain Range, the roars of unknown monsters echoed throughout the mountains and forests, shaking the very fabric of the landscape. In the dense, pitch-black forest, pairs of bright, flashlight-like eyes, large and small, would occasionally peek out, adding an air of mystery and danger to the Monster Mountain Range night…

As the sun began to set, Xiao Xuanyuan had already led Queen Medusa into a cave temporarily carved out on a cliff face. Inside, a powerful silver-blue flame raged. Although Xiao Xuanyuan dared not unleash its full power, he could at least control a single flame. In just a short while, a relatively large cave was created. Xiao Xuanyuan then had Queen Medusa gather some firewood from the surrounding forests and cook a delicious dinner for the evening.

These past few days, he and Queen Medusa had grown tired of eating dry rations. Now that they finally had some meat, they naturally wanted to feast. Before entering the city, Xiao Xuanyuan had already prepared fine wine. Now, with the aroma of the boiled and roasted top-quality magical beast meat, not only he himself, but even Queen Medusa, a member of the snake-people, couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked on with longing eyes, her beautiful eyes darting around, looking pitifully at the cooked meat.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but chuckle. He took out some fine wine from his storage ring and handed it to her, saying, "Come on, wife, drink this wine properly. Don't use your fighting spirit to neutralize the alcohol, or you'll be letting your husband down." As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyuan also handed her a large skewer of fragrant roasted meat. This was exceptionally fine meat from the magical beast, the Emerald Deer, which was now extremely rare. Xiao Xuanyuan wanted to capture some to raise in the future, otherwise, with the mercenaries' hunting over the years, this magical beast would become an endangered species and face extinction!

Chapter 138 Nine Heavens Mystic Bird

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's gesture, Queen Medusa hesitated for a moment, but still took a small sip of the wine.

"Ugh..." Perhaps because it was her first time drinking wine brewed by humans, Queen Medusa choked and coughed uncontrollably. Seeing Queen Medusa's condition, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but find it amusing. He stepped forward, gently patted her back to smooth it out, and said with a smile, "Wife, drink slowly. This might be your first time drinking such fine wine, so you may not be used to it yet. But this wine has a mellow and sweet taste; it's very delicious!"

After a while, Queen Medusa finally recovered and said, "Husband, I'll drink some more."

This fine wine is called Fragrant Beauty, a very high-grade wine. Not only is it sweet and mellow, but its brewing cycle is also long, making it extremely precious and rare. Xiao Xuanyuan spent a huge amount of money to buy it, because he has plenty of money!

When she took her second sip, Queen Medusa was no longer like she was the first time. This time, she put down the wine jug, closed her eyes slightly, and looked completely relaxed.

"Haha... Wife, isn't it delicious? This is 200,000 gold coins per jar, and luckily we had some in stock. I spent 2 million gold coins to buy ten jars!" Xiao Xuanyuan laughed heartily.

"Mmm, it's so delicious!" Queen Medusa exclaimed with delight after taking a sip.

"That's good, my husband, I have plenty more," Xiao Xuanyuan said, walking to the wall and quickly creating a stone platform. He then took out a large number of tableware from his storage ring, arranged them slightly, and a table decorated like a candlelight dinner was ready.

Using what was available, they added two stone benches next to the stone platform and laid out comfortable animal hides on them, making this dinner incredibly romantic. A set of exquisite celadon tableware was placed before Queen Medusa, and he said, "Wife, this is a candlelight dinner, how can we eat so carelessly! That's so unromantic!" As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyuan poured her a full glass of fragrant wine, and then poured one for himself.

"Come, let's drink this cup of nuptial wine." Xiao Xuanyuan gestured, and he and Queen Medusa exchanged cups. Although Queen Medusa didn't quite understand, with Xiao Xuanyuan leading the way, they both drank it down in one gulp.

Beside her were roasted and boiled meats, accompanied by various vegetables and seasonings, already smelling incredibly tempting. Now, they were all placed on the table. Seeing these delicious dishes in front of her, Queen Medusa, like a little glutton, could no longer resist her greed and began to devour them with her fork. The key was that she didn't know how to use chopsticks. Xiao Xuanyuan taught her, but with the delicious food in front of her, she was too lazy to learn and just started eating directly.

"Sigh, the world of foodies." Xiao Xuanyuan sighed slightly, joined the ranks of foodies, and toasted with Queen Medusa.

In this wondrous atmosphere, and since it had been explained beforehand that one could not use one's fighting spirit to dispel the alcohol's effects, after drinking three large jars of "Fragrant Beauty," Queen Medusa's beautiful face was already flushed with an intoxicating red, and she had entered a drunken state. At this point, she was even babbling incoherently.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan knew the time was ripe. He quickly took out a high-grade folding bed from his storage ring and spread it out in the bridal chamber. Then, he helped Queen Medusa over, gently covering the outside of the ring with his soul perception. Several beams of battle qi shot out, and the bridal chamber instantly turned pitch black. However, in a short while, the bridal chamber was filled with the fragrance of spring, and an intoxicating melody slowly unfolded...

These past few days, Xiao Xuanyuan has been on the move. In ten days, it will be the Alchemist Conference in the Holy City of Jiama Empire. He must arrive in advance and not miss this grand event!

That day, Xiao Xuanyuan planned to reach Qingshan Town, the nearest town near the Monster Beast Mountain Range, to rest and recuperate for the night before riding the Wind Spirit Bird towards Jiama Holy City. He remembered this Wind Spirit Bird; he had captured it in a cave on a cliff in the Monster Beast Mountain Range. It was quite beautiful, resembling the Heavenly Demon Phoenix he had encountered in the spatial barrier, but its feathers were blue, possessing a trace of the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird.

That's why Xiao Xuanyuan signed the Soul Contract with it. As long as this soul contract exists, its fate is inextricably linked to Xiao Xuanyuan's. With just a thought from him, this Wind Spirit Bird is absolutely overpowered, with complete control in Xiao Xuanyuan's hands. Even if Xiao Xuanyuan, its master, dies, this Wind Spirit Bird will definitely die with him. Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan naturally wouldn't forget its existence. Upon returning to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he immediately summoned it.

The Wind Spirit Bird is now a top-tier Tier 3 magical beast. Perhaps due to the Di Sheng Contract, its advancement speed has been incredibly fast in a short period of time, from the initial Tier 3 level when it was first discovered to the current Tier 3 top-tier magical beast. According to Yao Lao's observation, he asserted that it was influenced by its master. The Wind Spirit Bird is a descendant of the ancient Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, possessing divine beast bloodline and the attributes of wind and fire, which complement each other. Now, having received the connection and feedback from the Di Sheng Contract between the two, it has also received a considerable amount of overflow.

"Based on my current understanding of this kind of creature that possesses a trace of divine beast bloodline, as long as you properly unblock its meridians and occasionally inject some essence of strange fire into its body to help it condense its demon core, it will definitely become an invaluable asset to you in the future!" Elder Yao said slowly, his brows slightly furrowed, and continued, "Now that this Wind Spirit Bird has reached the top level of the third rank, it only needs one step to enter the fourth rank. You should make preparations for it!"

"Prepare what? Isn't it supposed to advance on its own?" Sitting on the back of the Wind Spirit Bird alongside Queen Medusa, Xiao Xuanyuan frowned slightly as he transmitted his thoughts to the spirit of Yao Lao within the ring.

"You're acting all innocent after getting a good deal. If a spiritual creature with divine beast bloodline were to advance through its own strength, the time it would take would increase exponentially. In the later stages, when its lifespan is nearing its end, it would at most reach the fifth level, equivalent to a human Dou Huang. That would be a huge waste of its time. However, with your help, the master of the Devouring Strange Flame, then it..." At this point, the old doctor left the question unanswered.

"What will happen then?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

"Hehe, I dare not speak for others, but with you, an extraordinary master possessing several kinds of strange flames, as long as you nurture it properly, it is possible to fully awaken its divine beast bloodline and advance to the ninth rank. Moreover, if you obtain enough of its ancestral bloodline, it can even evolve into the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird. At that time... hehe, is there any place on this Dou Qi Continent that you, kid, cannot go?" Yao Lao slowly and skillfully coaxed Xiao Xuanyuan into the realm of riding the Wind Spirit Bird and roaming the Dou Qi Continent, giving him unlimited room for imagination.

"Then I can collect all the beauties of the Dou Qi Continent..." For a moment, Xiao Xuanyuan was filled with anticipation and daydreams, and his mouth almost watered.

"What are you thinking, kid?" Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's somewhat lecherous look, Yao Lao interrupted him helplessly: "It's not that simple. Do you think it's that easy for the Wind Spirit Bird to evolve into the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird divine beast? The spiritual herbs and treasures needed in the process are countless. Do you know how rare a drop of the bloodline of that ancient divine beast, the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, is? Even at my current age, I haven't even seen a shadow of the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, let alone its bloodline. I was only fortunate enough to see it once before at a top auction in the Central Continent..."

"You brat, do you know that for this drop of divine beast bloodline, all the top alchemists in the entire Central Continent were alarmed? At that time, even many hidden forces came out..." Recalling that auction, the old alchemist couldn't help but sigh and hiss repeatedly.

Chapter 139 Forced Marriage

Listening to the old doctor's eloquent explanation, Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to be deep in thought. He really didn't expect that the Wind Spirit Bird had such a great background.

"This Nine Heavens Mystic Bird is so magical, could it be on par with the Ancient Void Dragon, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and the Nine Netherworld Python?" Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hehe, to be specific, there are currently five major magical beast families on the Dou Qi Continent: the Ancient Void Dragon, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, the Nine Netherworld Python, the Azure Phoenix Clan, and the Scorpion Dragon Clan. Among them, the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan rank first and second in strength. As for the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, this magical beast is not ranked high because its numbers are extremely rare. However, in terms of strength, its formidable combat power is enough to rival the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. You have also seen the remains of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan within that sealed barrier. Even though they have been passed down for thousands of years, their strength is not to be underestimated..." Old Yao slowly explained.

"Oh." Xiao Xuanyuan listened with interest as the old medicine master revealed some secrets.

During his conversation with the old doctor, Qingshan Town soon came into view. Xiao Xuanyuan still remembered that after leaving home, the first place he came to was Qingshan Town. He still remembered the naivety of Xiao Yixian when he first met her at Wan Yao Zhai. At that time, he was just a small seven-star Dou Zhe. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

This time, Xiao Xuanyuan planned to resupply in Qingshan Town before setting off back to Wutan City, and then head to Jiama Holy City to participate in the grand event of the alchemy world, the Alchemist Conference!

To avoid drawing attention, Xiao Xuanyuan sent the Wind Spirit Bird back to the nearby Monster Mountain Range to hide a kilometer away, while he led Queen Medusa into the town. Several months had passed, and Green Mountain Town remained largely unchanged. The only difference was the presence of many unfamiliar faces, and the number of mercenaries had increased significantly.

The mercenaries were mostly scattered individuals and small groups, their equipment and skills varying greatly. However, they were predominantly men, mostly rough and burly, which was nothing unusual. Normally, with Xiao Xuanyuan's precocious handsome face, he wouldn't have attracted much attention; at most, his outstanding charisma might have caught the eye of some women. But with the stunning Queen Medusa following him, suddenly, every time they stepped onto the street, the eager, blatant gazes of those rough men were fixed on them, making them very uncomfortable!

"Who is this greenhorn? And why is he followed by such a beautiful woman?" said a burly man with a wolf fang mark between his eyebrows.

“That’s right, brother, this kid is so young, he probably isn’t very strong. Why don’t we…” As he spoke, the man with the mustache made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Barça, stop fooling around. Today is our Second Regiment Commander's wedding banquet. If we start drawing blood now, it will ruin the atmosphere," the burly man replied.

"That would be a shame. If we could get our hands on that woman, we brothers would be happy to have some soup!" Another mercenary following behind the rough-looking man licked his lips.

"Speaking of which, it makes sense. That fair-skinned and delicate little wench from Wan Yao Zhai dared to defy our Commander Mu. If the Commander is displeased, Wan Yao Zhai will be finished." The burly man curled up a cold smile.

"Hmph, as long as the bandit leader intervenes, Little Fairy Doctor will obediently submit and become our bandit leader's wife! Hehe..."

Xiao Xuanyuan didn't care about the mercenaries on the street at first. As long as they didn't provoke him, he would just ignore their gossip. But when he suddenly heard them mention "Little Fairy Doctor", he immediately realized that something had happened to Little Fairy Doctor!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward, stopped the three mercenaries, and asked, "Are you from the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group?"

"Who are you from, kid? How dare you block my way? Are you looking for death?" The young follower named Basa stepped forward and reached out to push Xiao Xuanyuan.
