The Black-Corner Region was already scarred and battered at this moment. Both the Hun Clan and the Alliance had ceased their clash, leaving the battlefield to Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and the Void Swallowing Flame.
However, instead of fighting one another, they surrounded an old man dressed in simple robes. It was precisely the emperor pill embryo that had just escaped from the Ancient Emperor Cave.
"Void Swallowing Flame, do you truly intend to commit such a merciless act? Do not forget, if not for my help back then in tearing apart the restraints for you and the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, how could you have escaped? You promised me back then that you would save me from this place as well!" At this moment, the emperor pill embryo was extremely anxious. Right from the start, it had recognized that Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun were the two Nine-Star Dou ShengPeak experts who had previously helped Xiao Se snatch the Tuoshe Ancient EmperorLegacy.
When obtaining the Emperor Origin Source, Xiao Se was already an Eight Star Dou Sheng, and it seemed he also cultivated the same Cultivation Technique as the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, capable of controlling numerous Heavenly Flames, including the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.
Now, two years had passed, and without any unexpected accidents, he had already achieved the Dou Di Realm.
If Xiao Se were to emerge from seclusion, it, this emperor pill embryo, would find it extremely difficult to survive.
Facing the curses of the emperor pill embryo, the Void Swallowing Flame only dazed for a brief moment. Confirming that there was no such memory, it could only say indifferently, "Apologies, I completely do not understand what you are talking about, however..."
When words reached this point, its voice paused, and then it smiled strangely: "However, this time, I am indeed here to save you out. Come with me..."
"Bastard, Void Swallowing Flame, do not think I do not know what scheme you are playing. Could it be that you have not noticed that something is wrong with the situation?"
The Void Swallowing Flame froze, frowning as it asked, "What do you mean?"
"Things having come to this, I will not hide it from you either. The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Emperor Origin Source has already been seized. Once that person emerges from seclusion, he will definitely break through to Dou Di. By then, let alone me, even you will cease to exist."
"What." Hearing this, the Void Swallowing Flame's expression changed drastically, no longer able to maintain its original composure. That Emperor Origin Source was something it was determined to obtain. Now that it had actually been seized, did that not mean all its efforts had been in vain?
"The Emperor Origin Source?!" Hun Tiandi's expression instantly turned somewhat unsightly, because he had never heard the Void Swallowing Flame mention it at all. Looking at Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, he found that from beginning to end, they maintained a relaxed and leisurely appearance. Shifting his gaze to the Void Swallowing Flame, he roared, "Void Swallowing Flame, what is the meaning of this?!"
The Void Swallowing Flame did not directly answer Hun Tiandi, instead looking at the emperor pill embryo and asking in a deep voice, "When was the Emperor Origin Source taken away by someone?"
"Two years ago. Back then, it was these two fellows who blocked me, and then it was taken away by someone who cultivated the same Cultivation Technique as the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. It is still not too late for you to flee for your lives now; otherwise, once that fellow emerges from seclusion, none of us will be able to escape," the emperor pill embryo tempted step by step.
"Damn it. No wonder I always felt these two fellows were not right," the Void Swallowing Flame cursed out loud, its gaze locked onto Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun. "You had already entered the Ancient Tomb long ago. Without the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, how on earth did you manage it?"
"How did we manage it? Of course it was because I sent them in."
An overwhelmingly powerful aura that surpassed heaven and earth permeated the entire sky. Immediately following this, space rippled, and Xiao Se slowly stepped out from the Void Realm. In an instant, the originally clear sky dimmed into darkness, as if the entire heaven and earth were collapsing and paying homage to him, lowering its arrogant head.
"Dou Di!" Gazing at the suddenly appearing Xiao Se, Hun Tiandi, the Void Swallowing Flame, and the emperor pill embryo instantly cried out in shock and horror. That overwhelmingly powerful aura emanating from his entire body, which surpassed heaven and earth, plunged Hun Tiandi and the rest of the Hun Clan members into deep despair...
"You guessed correctly. As a prize, please journey together to the Yellow Springs!" Speaking thus, Xiao Se grabbed with a large hand, and a heaven-covering giant hand appeared out of thin air, sealing and covering the space where Hun Tiandi, the Void Swallowing Flame, the emperor pill embryo, and the numerous Hun Clan experts were located.
Hun Tiandi died, and the Hun Clan was destroyed. Including Hun Tiandi, the numerous experts of the Hun Clan were either refined by Xiao Se into Puppets to eternally guard the Xiao Family or left behind to serve as Materials for refining physical bodies. Only a few descendants who had not participated in the Hun Clan's atrocities of slaughtering the continent were spared, but their memories regarding the Hun Clan were erased, and they were dropped into the Douluo Space to live the lives of ordinary citizens.
The Void Swallowing Flame and other Heavenly Flames were summoned back into the body of Xiao Se, who had already achieved the emperor Realm. Along with the Ice Fire Dragon Flame, a total of twenty-three Heavenly Flames fused into the Emperor Flame.
As for the emperor pill embryo, it was refined by Xiao Se into a true Emperor-grade Medicinal Pill and given to Xiao Xue to assist her in breaking through to Dou Di, while also granting Bibi Dong the Dou Di Bloodline, elevating her strength to the Nine-Star Dou ShengPeak.
The Hun Clan crisis on the Fighting Qi Continent was resolved, and peace returned thereafter.
In the Black-Corner Region, the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy had already been rebuilt after the great war between the Hun Clan and the Alliance ended.
The teachers and students who had previously been evacuated to the Hai Meng Headquarters for refuge also returned one after another. Because Xiao Se advanced to Dou Di and the Xiao Family's Dou Di Bloodline was activated, Xiao Yu, whose strength had skyrocketed from Dou Zong to a Semi-Saint in one breath, also returned here. Although the people of the Sea Alliance had tried to persuade her to stay, Xiao Yu still chose to return here.
Because a man once had Grand ElderSu Qian of the Jia Nan AcademyInner Academy leave a sentence for her: "When all dust settles, I shall take you to see all the splendor of the World."
On this day, it was once again time for the Inner Academy's new students to enroll and hold the Fire Energy Hunting Competition.
At the entrance of the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, Vice Principal Hu Gan, as he had done for ten years, led the new students selected to enter the Inner Academy to open the Inner Academy spatial barrier, arriving at the forest where the Fire Energy Hunting Competition took place.
A young woman with a graceful figure, otherworldly beauty, and an outward appearance of around twenty years old came into view.
"Hehe, Elder Xiao, I did not expect that you would be presiding over the Fire Energy Hunting Competition this year. I will have to trouble you with this group of new students." Vice Principal Hu Gan bowed forward, his demeanor extremely respectful.
"Vice Principal Hu Gan need not stand on ceremony. Hu Jia and I are friends; you should still call me Xiao Yu just like before." Xiao Yu shook her head, her face showing neither joy nor sorrow.
Vice Principal Hu Gan revealed a bitter smile. How could he possibly dare? Now that Xiao Yu's strength had advanced to a Semi-Saint, her status had risen accordingly. Let alone a mere Outer AcademyVice Dean like him, even that elusive Dean would have to yield three parts of courtesy upon seeing her.
Furthermore, even if Xiao Yu were an ordinary person, she was not someone he would dare to overstep against, because standing behind her was the first Dou Di in ten thousand years—Xiao Se.
A group of surrounding new students saw this scene and began discussing it one by one.
"Who is this beauty? To actually be able to make Vice Principal Hu Gan, who has already broken through to Dou Zong, so respectful."
"You do not even know this? She is our Inner Academy's number one beauty, ElderXiao Yu! She is a genuine Semi-Saint. Even our Inner Academy's Grand ElderSu Qian, who has broken through to Dou Zun, and the mysterious Dean Lord have to yield three parts of courtesy upon seeing her!"
"Great Dou Master, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong... Semi-Saint. Good heavens, there seem to be so, so many major Realms separating them."
"Hehe, there is something even more exaggerated. Do you know our Senior Xiao Se?"
"Of course, he is my idol! The name of the Xiao Heavenly Emperor—who throughout the entire Fighting Qi Continent does not know of it? I heard the Inner Academy even has a statue of him, his venerable self!"
Because after achieving the emperor Realm, Xiao Se did not proclaim himself the Flame Emperor like Xiao Yan in the original work, yet the people of the Fighting Qi Continent dared not directly call his taboo name, they bestowed upon him the title of Emperor Xiao. As for the character 'Heavenly' in the middle, someone felt that the two characters 'Emperor Xiao' were not enough to match Xiao Se, so it was added later on. Thus, the name of the Xiao Heavenly Emperor spread along with it.
"ElderXiao Yu is Senior Xiao, the Xiao Heavenly Emperor's cousin. Rumor has it that in their childhood, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and their relationship was very ambiguous."
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a man in green robes suddenly walked out from the crowd. His clear, pitch-black pupils were as deep as water, and a head of black long hair draped over his shoulders without giving any sense of incongruity. The entire person seemed like the convergence of all the World's spiritual beauty, embodying handsomeness, nobility, and elegance all in one.
Amidst the stunned gazes of the students, the green-robed man walked towards Xiao Yu, took the latter's hand and kissed it lightly, then issued an invitation, "This beautiful Young Miss, this humble one has just purchased two sightseeing tickets for the Fighting Qi Continent. I wonder if I might have the honor of inviting you to accompany me."
Xiao Yu was stunned at first, followed immediately by shaking her head: "No."
Just when everyone thought Xiao Yu was going to fly into a rage and teach this profligate son with nothing but a good appearance a lesson, Xiao Yu's next sentence directly caused everyone's glasses to drop in shock, "After the Fire Energy Hunting Competition ends, you can."
"Then I will wait for you here." The green-robed man returned a smile, quietly standing to the side.
Xiao Yu slowly nodded, and across her peerlessly beautiful delicate face, a trace of an imperceptible smile overflowed.
Within the crowd, the numerous new students watched the actions of the two, their eyes all revealing looks of disbelief.
"Hey hey, I did not see wrong, right? That person not only kissed ElderXiao Yu's delicate hand, but even dared to invite ElderXiao Yu on a date, and the crucial point is that ElderXiao Yu actually agreed! Am I crazy, are you all crazy, or has the World gone mad?" One of them rubbed his eyes and cried out in shock.
After a long while, another person fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, speaking word by word with a rather agitated expression in reply: "No, you are not crazy, neither am I, and everyone is not crazy. I once saw Senior Xiao's portrait; he is the Xiao Heavenly Emperor."
Northwest Continent, Jia Ma Empire, Gama Holy City, Hai Meng Headquarters.
Because of Xiao Se achieving the emperor Realm, the Sea Alliance's influence rose with the tide, and the Mittel Auction House under the Sea Alliance leaped from being the Northwest Continent's number one auction house to becoming the Fighting Qi Continent's number one auction house.
At the Mittel Auction House headquarters, on the huge crystal auction stage, Ya Fei, who had already broken through to Dou Zun due to obtaining a God Position in the DouluoWorld, was leisurely sitting on a luxurious sofa.
Below the auction stage was a sea of people, among whom many coveted Ya Fei's beauty, yet not a single person dared to raise their eyes to look, because she was the woman of the Xiao Heavenly Emperor.
However, this auction was different from the past; most of those who came were female, and among them, there were even female Dou Sheng experts.
The scene was extremely bizarre.
Ya Fei propped her rosy cheek with a jade hand, lazily waving her jade arm. Space rippled, and a beautiful maid holding a brocade box appeared out of thin air. The brocade box slowly opened, and a round Medicinal Pill emitting colorful light came into view.
"Youth-Preserving Pill. After consuming it, one can eternally maintain their youth and never age. The starting bid is one hundred million gold coins."
As Ya Fei's voice fell, the atmosphere in the venue instantly was pulled to a climax as people competed to bid.
"I bid two hundred million."
"I bid five hundred million."
"One billion, I bid one billion."
Eternally maintaining youth was an almost irresistible temptation for every female. Before long, the price of the Youth-Preserving Pill skyrocketed to three billion, a price called out by a female Dou Sheng from the Yan Clan.
Just when everyone thought the overall situation was settled, a majestic yet calm voice suddenly echoed across the venue: "I bid ten billion."
The next second, a cyan figure had already appeared on the crystal auction high platform.
Looking at the suddenly appearing cyan figure, Ya Fei raised her head to glance at him. Her slender, beautiful eyes clearly flashed a trace of resentment as she shook her head and said softly, "Still not enough."
Xiao Se smiled faintly, and space rippled. Ya Fei's entire figure maintained its original posture as she rose into the air out of thin air. Xiao Se smoothly pulled her into his arms in a princess carry, saying softly, "Then what if you add me as well?"
Ya Fei hesitated for a moment, slightly nodding. Her alluring face revealed a smile that could Charm all living beings, "It can be considered."
In a small valley located in the eastern outer perimeter of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a hundred miles adjacent to Qingshan Town.
The sky above the valley was shrouded in clouds and mist, possessing a spatial barrier that even Dou Sheng experts would find difficult to break. Below the valley, birds sang and flowers smelled fragrant; a peerlessly beautiful young girl dressed in a waist-cinched long dress was holding a watering can, tending to the surrounding flowers and plants.
Beside her, a cute little girl around two years old, whose appearance resembled the young girl by three to four parts, but whose aura had already reached Dou Sheng, resembling an exquisite porcelain doll, was lightly waving her small hands to tease butterflies. Her round, big eyes revealed curiosity about this World.
"Mommy, do you think Daddy will come find us?" The little girl blew gently, and the butterfly was startled and flew away. She raised her head innocently to ask the peerlessly beautiful young girl.
The peerlessly beautiful young girl hesitated for a moment, put down the watering can in her hand, pulled the little girl into her arms, and gently comforted her: "He will."
"But what if Daddy doesn't come?" The little girl asked again.
"Then the two of us mother and daughter will stay here forever, waiting for him to return." The peerlessly beautiful young girl gently stroked the little girl's forehead.
Right at this moment, space suddenly rippled, and a green-robed man walked out from the Void Realm. He smiled bitterly and said, "Xian'er, it is truly not easy to find you. You say, was it worth it for you to use the spatial barrier I left behind that can shield against Emperor Realm Soul perception?"
"If it were really that easy for you to find me, wouldn't that be letting you off too easily?" Xiao Yi Xian said indifferently. However, her tear-glistening eyes indicated that her heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
"Is this our child? When was she conceived? Why didn't you tell me at all?" Xiao Se slowly walked to Xiao Yi Xian's side and gently stroked the little girl's face.
"I wanted to tell you, but at that time your heart was entirely focused on Xun'er. Would it have been useful if I told you?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were filled with resentment, and years of grievances turned into tears that could no longer be stopped from flowing down.
"I'm sorry, Xian'er, it was me who didn't consider your feelings." Xiao Se gently wiped away the tears at the corner of Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, his heart filled with self-blame.
Seeing her mother crying, the little girl held in Xiao Yi Xian's arms immediately bared her fangs and brandished her claws, swinging her small fists. Although the little girl was already a Dou Sheng, due to her tender age, she had no sense of proportion in her strikes. She only knew that her mother had been made to cry by someone, and she was very angry, so she wanted to teach the other party a lesson. Her pink fist heavily hammered onto Xiao Se's chest. Below Dou Sheng, if one were to be struck by this, almost none would escape unscathed. However, Xiao Se was a true Dou Di; this life-threatening punch from the Dou Sheng little girl striking his chest had almost no difference from the force of an ordinary little girl.
"Little Blue, do not make a fuss. This is your daddy." Xiao Yi Xian also reacted, wiped away her tears, and hurriedly stopped her.
"You are Daddy?" The little girl revealed a dazed expression. Her small head pondered for a moment, and she threw herself into Xiao Se's arms as if she were very familiar, sobbing, "Daddy, Little Blue has finally waited for you. Little Blue and Mommy missed you so much. Little Blue even thought Daddy wouldn't come anymore."
Xiao Se gently stroked the little girl's back, saying softly, "Isn't Daddy here now? Daddy misses you all very much as well, and will not abandon you and your mommy."
Saying this, Xiao Se shifted his gaze to Xiao Yi Xian, asking somewhat surprised, "Xiao Lan? Isn't that the name of your former mount?"
Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at him, and with a gentle pat of her jade hand on the little girl's bottom who had startled the Dou Sheng little girl, a bright flash of light transformed her into another peerlessly gorgeous blue-robed maiden.
The blue-robed maiden said: "Lord Xiao Se, the 'Lan' of the Young Lord is the 'blue' of blue, while my 'Lan' is the 'Lan' of the Cloud Mist Sect."
"Uh." Xiao Se's expression turned somewhat awkward, shifting the topic to say, "Xiao Lan, it's quite a nice name."
"I haven't named her yet; Little Blue is just a milk name. You are her father, her name should be chosen by you." Xiao Yi Xian glared at Xiao Se, saying with a serious expression.
Xiao Se nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's call her Xiao Xian, with the meaning of Little Fairy."
At the Sea Alliance Headquarters, because Xiao Se's wives often needed to go into seclusion, and because Qing Lin only needed enough snake-type Demonic Beasts to increase her cultivation due to her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, she spent more time by Xiao Se's side, taking on the role of the children's mother. Except for Qian Renxue, she had looked after almost every child.
In her spare time, Qing Lin would make clothing. For instance, the clothes Xiao Se was wearing right now were almost all made by her.
On this day, because Xun'er was in seclusion, she had entrusted the children to Qing Lin's care as usual. Qing Lin had just coaxed the two babies, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xiaoxiao, to sleep and was embroidering in the room.
"Qing Lin." With a ripple in space, Xiao Se stepped out from the Void Realm.
"Big Brother." Seeing Xiao Se suddenly appear, Qing Lin was flustered at first. She hurriedly hid the embroidery under her pillow, then rushed over, threw herself into Xiao Se's arms, and acted coquettishly.
Xiao Se gently stroked Qing Lin's small head, looked up at the head of the bed behind her, and asked softly, "Qing Lin, what are you doing?"
"No—nothing." Qing Lin's pretty face turned crimson, and she avoided his gaze.
Xiao Se smiled faintly and waved his hand. The embroidery under Qing Lin's pillow automatically flew into his hand. He looked at it and was shocked to discover that what Qing Lin had embroidered was exactly how he looked in his youth, wielding a demonic sword, while Qing Lin was wearing his old green shirt, standing on tiptoes, and kissing him on the cheek.
"Qing Lin, you..." Xiao Se's mouth opened slightly, and he was momentarily speechless.
"Big Brother, don't misunderstand, Qing Lin was just..." Qing Lin hurriedly explained, but tears fell uncontrollably. Just when she thought Xiao Se was going to reject her, he lowered his head, kissed her lips, and smiled, "From now on, don't be my little sister anymore; be the children's mother."
Qing Lin was stunned, but she quickly reacted and nodded, her pretty face blushing furiously.
Three days later, after leaving Qing Lin's room, Xiao Se went straight to the palace where Medusa resided.
"Daddy." Seeing Xiao Se enter, Xiao Cai, who had already grown into the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old girl, rushed up and threw herself into Xiao Se's arms. Xiao Cai followed closely behind, flew onto Xiao Se's shoulder, and affectionately rubbed against his cheek.
Xiao Se quite enjoyed nuzzling Xiao Cai, then gently stroked Xiao Cai's small head. Perhaps to communicate more with his daughter, even though Xiao Se clearly sensed that Medusa was in the room, he still asked the daughter, "A Cai, what are you doing here? Where is your mother?"
"A Cai is just here playing with Auntie Xiao Cai. Auntie Xiao Cai just told me a lot of stories about when Dad was young." Ever since the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python appeared and evolved into the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, to distinguish between Xiao Cai and his daughter Xiao Cai, Xiao Se had given his daughter the nickname A Cai.
"Uh..." Xiao Se's mouth twitched in surprise, and he said to the small nine-colored snake on his shoulder, "Xiao Cai, you didn't tell A Cai everything that happened during the time you were by my side, did you!"
"A Cai is Master's daughter, can I not tell her?" The small nine-colored snake blinked its round, light purple eyes, its pupils revealing innocence and a faint mist of tears.
Seeing the small nine-colored snake looking like it was about to cry if he said no, Xiao Se hurriedly transmitted, "Y-you can tell her, but A Cai is still young. You cannot tell her about what happens when I sleep with Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others at night."
"Master, Xiao Cai understands." Seeing that Xiao Se was not blaming her, the small nine-colored snake rubbed against Xiao Se's cheek affectionately again.
Xiao Se put down Xiao Cai and Xiao Cai, half-knelt, touched both of their small heads, and instructed, "A Cai, you continue playing with Xiao Cai for now. I'm going inside to see your mother."
"Go ahead, Daddy, but remember to make time to play with me later." A Cai readily agreed.
Xiao Se continued to instruct, "Xiao Cai, help me look after this little girl. Don't let her cause any more trouble."
"Understood, Master. I will ensure the little master's safety," Xiao Cai responded.
Xiao Se shook his head helplessly and turned to enter the room. He wasn't worried about his daughter's safety, but rather that the little girl's cultivation had suddenly skyrocketed to the Peak of an Eight Star Dou Sheng, and she couldn't fully control her power, so she didn't know her own strength.
The biggest victim among them was Hai Bodong. Although he had reached the Half-Step Dou Zun level with the support of the Sea Alliance's resources, because he knew how to play with ice, he was dragged out by this little one to play wildly and ended up being "played" to the point of breaking.
If Ya Fei hadn't asked Yao Chen to help refine a Life Bone Fusion Blood Pill, he would likely have lost his old life.
Because of this, Ya Fei had complained to him quite a bit.
In the end, it was Xiao Se who gave Hai Bodong a drop of essence blood from an ice-attribute Dou Sheng-level Demonic Beast, helping him advance to Dou Zun, and only then did the matter subside.
Otherwise, Hai Bodong was, after all, one of the first to follow him, and he couldn't break his heart.
Walking into the room, Xiao Se saw Medusa handling Sea Alliance affairs.
"You're back!" Seeing Xiao Se enter, Medusa stopped her work and lazily stretched, her charming, curvaceous figure fully displayed.
Xiao Se gave a wicked smile, flew forward, swept her up in a bridal carry, and headed toward the bed, chuckling, "Sha Sha, I think it's time we gave A Cai a little brother or sister."
"I think you just want to add another daughter or son for yourself," Medusa shot him a glance with her beautiful eyes.
"It means roughly the same thing, doesn't it?" As he spoke, Xiao Se carried Medusa and fell onto the soft bed.
At this, Medusa rolled her eyes. The words might be the same, but the actions were vastly different.
Three hours later, Medusa lay in Xiao Se's arms, exhausted in body and mind, and pouted, "Are you a dog? You can't get enough."
"Yes, I am a dog. Woof, woof." As he spoke, Xiao Se rolled over and reached out to hug Medusa.
"Don't." Medusa hurriedly pushed Xiao Se away.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Se looked puzzled.
"I'm sweating a lot right now and feel sticky. I'm going to take a bath first," Medusa said seriously.
"Then let's bathe together. It's the perfect time for a mandarin duck bath," Xiao Se said.
"No, otherwise you'll start acting up again later. I'll finish washing first, then you can wash," Medusa sternly refused.
"Alright then." Helpless, Xiao Se had to agree.
"You are not allowed to use your Soul power to peek, or I will tell Xue'er that you once lusted after her body. I know that precious daughter of yours doesn't just have father-daughter feelings for you," Medusa stood up.
"Uh... that... that's too ruthless." Xiao Se gasped. Back when he mistakenly thought Xiao Xue was Qian Renxue, there was indeed a period where he had lusted after her body. At that time, Medusa hadn't fully merged with the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python and had been by Xiao Se's side, knowing many of his secrets.
If Xiao Xue found out about this, he would be socially dead on the spot!
"Then you are not allowed to peek. Although my Soul power isn't as strong as yours, it has at least reached the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm, and I have cultivated the Returning to Origin Soul Technique, so I am very sensitive to Soul fluctuations. As long as there is even a trace of fluctuation, even if it's just my imagination, I will tell Xue'er," Medusa gave Xiao Se a flirtatious glance, then walked elegantly into the bathroom with mysterious steps, leaving Xiao Se with a charming back view.
Finally, with a clang, she closed the bathroom door.
Looking at the closed bathroom door, Xiao Se pursed his lips, "This little woman really needs a lesson every three days, or she'll start tearing down the roof. She dares to threaten me. Just wait until you come out; I'll show you."
As he spoke, Xiao Se slowly closed his eyes to rest.
After about half an hour, the bathroom door opened. A fresh fragrance of a woman who had just bathed drifted out, followed by crisp footsteps.
"Hmm? Did Sha Sha change her body wash? Let's see how I deal with you later." Xiao Se didn't open his eyes, continuing to pretend to sleep. When the footsteps approached, he pulled the person into his arms.
Suddenly, Xiao Se realized something was wrong.
Although the appearance was the same, the temperament and softness were completely different.
Wait, this isn't Medusa?
He immediately let go of the beauty in his arms. Looking at that flushed, pretty face, how could Xiao Se not guess who it was? He asked somewhat awkwardly, "Die, why are you..."
"It was Big Sister who told me to come over." Die's pretty face turned even redder. She avoided his gaze and replied, feeling a bit of pain.
"She should have already taken A Cai to the Douluo Space to find Feier, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others by now."
Hearing this, Xiao Se subconsciously radiated his Soul power, only to find that Medusa and her daughter were no longer at the Sea Alliance Headquarters. Recalling the words Medusa said two years ago before entering the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, "I will no longer oppose the matter between you and Die," Xiao Se couldn't help but smile bitterly. He then said to the beauty in his arms, "Let's continue."
"Mm." Die nodded slowly, quietly closed her eyes, and welcomed the most beautiful moment to come.
After coming out of Medusa's palace, Xiao Se saw Yun Yun, who had just sent A Si to Yao Chen to study and was preparing to return to the Cloud Mist Sect.
"Yun'er." Xiao Se caught up with her.
"Xiao Se, when did you get back?" Yun Yun stopped her flight, a flash of surprise appearing on her stunningly beautiful face, and she flew into Xiao Se's arms.
It had been over two years since they last met. At that time, Xiao Se said he was going into seclusion to break through to Dou Di. Yun Yun thought it was just a joke; after all, no matter how much of a GeniusXiao Se was, there hadn't been a Dou Di on the Fighting Qi Continent for ten thousand years, and how could a Dou Di be so easy to break through to?
It wasn't until a few months ago, when A Si's Dou Di Bloodline was activated and his cultivation skyrocketed to Dou Sheng, that Yun Yun learned Xiao Se had truly achieved the Dou Di Realm and had wiped out the members of the Hun Clan who were slaughtering the Fighting Qi Continent in the Black-Corner Region.
But since then, there had been no news of Xiao Se. Originally, Yun Yun thought Xiao Se had been delayed by something and would need some time before returning, but she didn't expect to meet him today.
"I just returned to the Sea Alliance not long ago," Xiao Se said with a smile. "Are you going back to the Cloud Mist Sect?"
"Yes, I just sent A Si to Elder Yao's place and was preparing to go back," Yun Yun said, a flash of hesitation crossing her eyes. "Do you want to come along?"
"Yun'er, when did you learn to be so polite with me? Could it be that, like the others, you think I've changed after achieving the Dou Di Realm!" Xiao Se released his hold on Yun Yun, took her hand, and kissed it gently. The next second, the scenery around them had changed to the back mountain square of the Cloud Mist Sect.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran was practicing swordplay. Seeing Xiao Se and Yun Yun suddenly arrive, she immediately sheathed her sword and came up to greet them, saying respectfully, "Teacher, Big Brother Xiao Se."
Yun Yun nodded slightly and gently stroked Nalan Yanran's fair cheek. The latter looked like she was enjoying it.
Looking at Nalan Yanran, who had grown into a graceful young woman, a wicked thought couldn't help but arise in Xiao Se's heart—master and Disciple.
But immediately thinking of Yun Yun, he knew she wouldn't agree, so he ultimately gave up. He took a jade bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Nalan Yanran, "Yanran, I don't have anything good to give you. Now that your cultivation has reached the Peak of Dou Zong, here is a bottle of essence blood from a wind-attribute Dou Sheng-level Demonic Beast. The violent energy inside has been removed by me. Take it and refine it; it will be enough to allow you to break through to the Dou Zun Realm."
"Many thanks, Big Brother Xiao Se." Nalan Yanran didn't act coy; furthermore, given the current relationship between the two, there was no need to be coy.
Putting the jade bottle into her storage ring, Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Se, then at Yun Yun, a flash of envy crossing her eyes. After a slight pause, she suddenly smiled, "Teacher, Big Brother Xiao Se, you two chat first. I'm going to practice."
After saying this, she turned around, her jade hand lightly covering her chest. She took a deep breath, stepped into the Void Realm, and her figure turned into a stream of light, disappearing from the square.
Watching the place where Nalan Yanran disappeared, Xiao Se was slightly distracted. At this moment, Yun Yun's coquettish voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "What are you looking at? She's already gone."
"Oh, let's go too." Xiao Se took Yun Yun's hand and walked towards her boudoir.
Yun Yun's pretty face flushed red. As she followed Xiao Se, she asked, "Hey, Xiao Se, did something happen between you and Yanran?"
"No!" Xiao Se shook his head, then heard Yun Yun say, "Then why do I notice that every time Yanran sees you, she looks dejected, as if she's been dumped by a boyfriend? Be honest, did you provoke her?"
"How could that be, wifey? These years, every time I met her, weren't you present?" Xiao Se shrugged slightly. Although he lusted after the master-Disciple duo, he hadn't had the chance to act on it yet!
"Then it must have been that Alchemist Convention ten years ago," Yun Yun sighed in her heart and muttered to herself, "I should have thought of that earlier."
"Thought of what?" Xiao Se asked, puzzled.
"No—nothing. Let's hurry inside." Yun Yun replied subconsciously.
But as soon as these words left her mouth, she regretted them. Her face immediately turned red. Why go back? They both knew exactly what for, yet she had actually urged him to hurry—that was quite intriguing.
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Se swept her up, instantly disappeared from the spot, and reappeared in Yun Yun's boudoir. Under Yun Yun's shocked and shy gaze, Xiao Se transformed into a hungry wolf and pounced on her.
By the time Xiao Se left the Cloud Mist Sect, a week had passed. Yun Yun, as if she had discussed it beforehand with Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others, took A Si and headed to the Douluo Space.
Xiao Se arrived at his next stop, the Sea King Pavilion in the Black-Corner Region, because his Soul power sensed that the Little Cat was there, and his DiscipleNing Rongrong, whom he hadn't seen in years, was also there.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had completely grown into two great beauties. Because Xiao Se had also obtained a God Position for Ning Rongrong during their last trip to the God Realm, both women's cultivation was now at the Dou Zun level. Among them, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation had even reached the Peak of Dou Zun.
