"Heh… so the famed Queen Medusa of the Great Desert is just a trash-talking snake after all."Xiao Yan sneered as he looked at the colorful little serpent lying in his palm, throwing out a mocking taunt.
The seven-colored little snake's violet eyes flashed with a human-like anger, but soon it closed its eyes and pretended to fall asleep, acting as if it heard nothing.
Seeing her—or it—put on such a shameless display, Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly.
"No matter how long you play dead… sooner or later, I'm definitely going to play with this snake."With that rather bold thought in mind, he shoved the tiny serpent back into his sleeve.
"If you mess with me again, I'll stuff you down my pants next time."Xiao Yan growled.
The next second, the seven-colored little snake suddenly trembled in his sleeve—then chomp!
A sharp sting shot up his arm.
"…You're still f***ing biting me?!"
Xiao Yan sighed after being bitten again.
"One day I'm gonna have to beat my wife…"
With that thought drifting in his mind, he closed his eyes again and continued devouring the Heavenly Flame.
The energy of a Heavenly Flame was terrifying. Even the nineteenth-ranked Qinglian Earth Heart Flame held more raw power than a normal Dou Zong could withstand.
The reason the Xiao Yan of another timeline only rose two or three stars after devouring it while still at the Dou Shi level was simply because his body couldn't handle more.
But now—with Xiao Yan already a Dou Zong—the massive energy of the Qinglian Earth Heart Flame still had enough "aftershock" to keep pushing his cultivation forward. That lingering power would continue until he reached the Dou Zun realm before finally thinning out.
By then, he would be hunting flames ranked in the top ten anyway.
Thus, the devouring restarted, and Xiao Yan's aura rose like a rocket.
Inside the distant hut, Xiao Yi Xian—finally well-rested after sleeping for a full day and night—put on her clothes and stretched lazily. The exhaustion she'd been covered in had melted away, replaced with fresh, vibrant energy.
"That bastard…"Thinking about those three wild, chaotic days, her face flushed again.
"Xiao Yi Xian-jie…"
Little Qinglin blinked her big eyes at her.
"Yes, Qinglin?"Xiao Yi Xian smiled gently.
"N-nothing…" Qinglin's cheeks reddened, then curiosity slipped out:"Is the Young Master… really that powerful?"
"Huh?"Xiao Yi Xian's face instantly turned pink again. She pinched Qinglin's soft cheek hard.
"You little brat—what's going on in that head of yours?"
Qinglin's tiny face stung, but she wasn't scared. After all the time they'd spent together, she understood Xiao Yi Xian's personality well.
"But you were screaming so much you lost your voice…"
"You little brat!!"Xiao Yi Xian pinched harder, making Qinglin yelp.
That was enough warning—Qinglin stopped teasing her.
When she finally behaved, Xiao Yi Xian nodded, satisfied."It's getting dark. We should cook."
"Mm!" Qinglin nodded obediently.
"It's been days since I ate your cooking, jie. Mine is… way too horrible."
Hearing that, Xiao Yi Xian smiled warmly again.
For a quiet, gentle woman like her, aside from growing herbs and studying medicine, cooking was one of her greatest joys.
Qinglin, born into poverty, never had many chances to cook. Her skills were still rough.
After her breakthrough to Da Dou Shi, Xiao Yi Xian not only grew stronger—she could flip woks like feathers. Soon, a whole table of delicious dishes was ready.
"Wow! It looks amazing!"Qinglin's face lit up with pure happiness.
For a girl who'd suffered almost her whole life, every good meal was a blessing. Ever since Xiao Yan rescued her, life had become full of warmth.
Just having people care about her—and food in her bowl—was already a dream come true.
"Eat," Xiao Yi Xian said softly.
"Then I'll start!" Qinglin beamed and began devouring her food.
Xiao Yan was always cultivating. Even when he came out, he rarely ate, so the two girls never waited for him.
"Xiao Yi Xian-jie… those three days in the hut… what were you two eating?"
As Qinglin ate, she suddenly lifted her head.
"Eating? What eating?"Xiao Yi Xian blinked, confused.
"You know… when you two get tired doing that, you must've eaten something, right?" Qinglin gestured innocently.
Xiao Yi Xian's calm, elegant face instantly went bright red.
"But you sounded like you were eating something really delicious…" Qinglin asked, puzzled.
"…Was that on purpose or an accident?" Xiao Yi Xian narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"P-purpose…"Qinglin trembled and whispered,"Then… then I won't eat anymore…"
"Eat your food."Xiao Yi Xian smacked her little head and shoved her face back into the bowl.
"S-sorry, jie… I don't want to eat anymore…" Qinglin said, teary-eyed.
"No. When you're older, your Young Master will personally feed you what you're curious about."Xiao Yi Xian huffed coldly, lips curling with a dangerous smile.
Three days later—
A terrifying surge of energy erupted from the distant mountain, sweeping across the entire basin and surrounding forests.
Countless magical beasts trembled and flattened themselves to the ground—including Xiao Yi Xian's pet, Xiao Lan.
Having just reached rank two, Xiao Lan stared in dread.
Only now did it truly understand just how terrifying the human it once provoked was.
Inside the hut, Qinglin's little face went pale as she sensed the immense aura.
So this… is the Young Master's true power?Even though the pressure avoided her, she still felt overwhelmed.
Xiao Yi Xian stood frozen as well, her face paling.
BOOM!
With a massive blast, the small mountain Xiao Yan used for seclusion shattered and collapsed into rubble.
As the dust cleared, a tall figure in black quietly hovered in the sky.
Feeling the surging power within him, Xiao Yan smiled faintly.
"Five-Star Dou Zong."
