Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 109 Showdown in the Bathroom (4k-word long chapter, two chapters combined)

Small hotel
Xiao Yue returned to her room, gently closed the door, prepared some hot water, and began to enjoy her bath.

After flying through the vast desert for so many days, even though she and Yun Yun had methods to avoid dust and dirt and keep their bodies clean at all times, they still felt uncomfortable after being in the desert for a long time.

This explains why Queen Medusa always traveled with a large ship that served as a mobile palace whenever she went out.

Once everything is ready,
Xiao Yue slowly untied her clothes, which fluttered down like snowflakes, revealing her porcelain-white skin. As she stepped into the bath, the warm spring water instantly enveloped her body, bringing a sense of comfort.

This spiritually rich hot spring water comes from the royal hot spring inside Queen Medusa's palace. It is heated by the fire deep in the desert and has many strange and mysterious effects. Xiao Yue felt that this spiritual spring was quite good, so she packed a little bit to take with her.

"Haven't you been quiet for a moment after eating so many pastries today?" Xiao Yue chuckled as she reached out and grabbed the mischievous, pretty little snake from the water.

"Woo~"

The colorful little snake wriggled its soft body in Xiao Yue's hand, as if it were being affectionate. It rubbed its little head against Xiao Yue's palm, then flicked out a long, thin red tongue and gently licked her cheek affectionately.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yue knew that the other party must be craving something again. She lightly flicked the other party's little head, and then flicked a purple spirit crystal from her fingertip to feed the little guy who was acting cute and charming in front of her.

The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python had a particular fondness for Purple Spirit Crystals, which were filled with pure fire-attribute energy, giving Xiao Yue the illusion that she was being fed cat food every time.

"Hiccup~"

The little snake swallowed the amethyst whole.
Then, she tilted her head back contentedly and let out a satisfied burp, a tiny wisp of purple flame rising from her small mouth.

"Puff~"

suddenly,

The colorful little snake seemed to be drunk, so it squinted its eyes, wobbled for a while, and then, dizzy and disoriented, fell into Xiao Yue's bathtub with a 'plop,' splashing a small drop of water.

The once docile and adorable seven-colored snake had now transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman, and her soft body was, by sheer coincidence, pressing down on Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue was slightly taken aback. She slowly raised her head and saw a pair of bright, beautiful eyes that were staring at her with a hint of icy coldness.

That face, so close yet breathtakingly beautiful, seemed like a masterpiece of nature. Even now, with its icy, murderous glint in her bright eyes, it still possessed an irresistible, alluring charm.

After Xiao Yue came to her senses, although her heart was racing a little, she still calmly said, "It's been a long time, Your Majesty."

at this time,

The steam rising from the bathtub between the two added a touch of mystery and ambiguity.

"Yes...it's been so long...so long that...I've almost missed you..." Queen Medusa took a deep breath, recalling the humiliation she had suffered these past few days. She gritted her teeth and spat out those words almost through gritted teeth.

Saying,

She stretched out a long, slender arm, as white as jade, clearly intending to suppress Xiao Yue and let her taste that feeling too.

"Close the door, open!"

Feeling the terrifying power emanating from the other party's hand, Xiao Yue couldn't help but sigh slightly, her gaze becoming more solemn. She silently recited a phrase in her heart, and then successively opened the two divine shackles within her body!
With the opening of the two divine gates,

Several strange black cracks appeared on Xiao Yue's face, and her aura surged wildly. She reached out her slender jade fingers and grabbed the other party's smooth, snow-white arm, firmly pinning it in the air and forcefully stopping Queen Medusa's suppressive force.

"Ok?"

Queen Medusa was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.
Although her cultivation level has not fully recovered, she can still mobilize the terrifying physical power of the Devouring Python. She never expected that Xiao Yue could actually compete with her in strength!

"It seems you've been hiding something all along!" Queen Medusa was somewhat annoyed that she had been kept in the dark for so long.

Xiao Yue did not answer.

She simply stared silently at Queen Medusa, as if waiting for her next move.

"Humph!"

When Queen Medusa saw that Xiao Yue did not respond, she snorted coldly. Then, an even more powerful aura surged from her body, and the surrounding air seemed to be affected by this aura, beginning to fluctuate violently.

She tightened her grip, her proud nature now subtly challenging Xiao Yue's strength, hoping to overpower her with sheer power.

Xiao Yue frowned slightly upon seeing this.

This seemingly aloof and arrogant queen appears to be challenging her, and Xiao Yue can't help but wonder if she should open a few more layers of divine restrictions.

But at this moment,
Queen Medusa turned pale, as if her soul had been struck a heavy blow.

"Damn it! You little brat, stop right there..."

She said, somewhat annoyed,
However, before she could finish speaking, a burst of intense seven-colored light suddenly erupted from her body.

Then Queen Medusa's body began to slowly shrink, eventually turning back into that cute and obedient seven-colored snake.

"Woo~"

The colorful little snake regained control of its body, staring timidly at Xiao Yue with its big eyes, seemingly afraid that Xiao Yue would blame it.

"It's alright, you did a great job..."

Looking at the little snake that had turned back to normal, Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and gently stroked the head of the seven-colored snake, speaking softly to comfort it.

Having activated two divine restrictions in succession, she was clearly somewhat weak now that the effects wore off.
After catching her breath, Xiao Yue stood up from the bathtub. Water droplets slid down her body, forming graceful arcs. She took out a soft bath towel and draped it over herself, covering her curvaceous and alluring figure.

The colorful little snake seemed to understand Xiao Yue's words. The little guy obediently rubbed against Xiao Yue's palm, then flicked out a thin red tongue and gently licked Xiao Yue's hand. Its timid eyes seemed to say that it would never be greedy again.

"What happened?"

Yun Yun entered the room and looked at the somewhat weak Xiao Yue, and asked solemnly.

Although Xiao Yue and Queen Medusa made very little noise, she still vaguely sensed something unusual from next door.

"It's nothing, Her Majesty the Queen just woke up briefly..." Xiao Yue said with a light laugh.

Yun Yun was speechless upon hearing this.

Such a dangerous situation would surely terrify most people. After all, given Queen Medusa's ferocity, even she, a fellow Dou Huang powerhouse, would have no choice but to run away if she encountered her! Not to mention that Medusa has now successfully evolved.

"Little one, come and eat this..."

Xiao Yue took out a pill and fed it to the seven-colored snake. This pill was the one that Queen Medusa had not taken before.

"What is that?" Yunyun asked curiously.

"I made some pills for Medusa before, but she didn't take them. This is just a precaution, in case she gets out of control when she wakes up again," Xiao Yue said with a slight smile.

Seeing her become somewhat cunning, Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh silently. It seemed that Queen Medusa's distrust of the pills she had refined was not without reason.

…………

……

The next morning, early in the morning,
After the brief incident last night, Xiao Yue and Yun Yun also set off from the town and continued their journey towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range of the Mulan Empire.

Half a month later,

The two of them concealed their whereabouts and traversed thousands of miles before finally arriving at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, located on the edge of the Mulan Empire.

"There are quite a few spies from various factions gathered here; it seems many factions have gotten wind of the situation..."

Since entering the heart of this endless mountain range, they had already sensed different auras from several groups of people on their way here, including many Douhuang-level experts. It seems that they were all extremely interested in what the Cangyun Venerable left behind in the past!

That's normal.

After all, even Yun Yun, who was far away in the Jia Ma Empire, could receive some news. There was no reason why the major powers of the Mu Lan Empire and the surrounding empires would not receive any information. And a treasure that might be left behind by a Dou Zun powerhouse would be something that no power in the Northwest Continent would not be tempted by!
However, to Xiao Yue's surprise, she sensed some energy from an old friend on the way.

Soul Palace!

Xiao Yue could sense the eerie aura emanating from them from a great distance!
"It seems this adventure won't be easy..."

Yun Yun said softly, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

Along the way, she naturally sensed the various powerful auras hidden in the shadows. At this time, there were quite a few Dou Huang experts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Just from what she sensed on the way, there was a high-level Dou Huang, far beyond what she, a three-star low-level Dou Huang, could compare to.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly. She understood that none of these forces could be easily dealt with by them, not to mention the existence of the Soul Palace, a terrifying organization that could easily kill even a Dou Zong.

“However, we still have a trump card in our hands, which we can release at a crucial moment…” Xiao Yue said with a soft smile.

Yun Yun nodded knowingly, and the two smiled at each other. Then they quickened their pace and traversed the vast mountains and forests. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was very large, stretching for thousands of miles, boundless and with complex and varied terrain.

Finding the exact location left behind by Venerable Cangyun in the past is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack! This is why all the forces have tried so hard but failed to find it.

However, this difficulty in finding her only applies to others; it would be a different story if it were Yun Yun.

"go with!"

Yun Yun stretched out her slender, jade-like fingers and made several hand seals in mid-air. As her hand gestures fell, the swords passed down by the successive Yunlan Sect Masters rang out with a clear, resonant sound.

The strange, cyan longsword seemed to be drawn by something, slowly rising into the air, circling a few times, and then flying swiftly towards a direction in the south.

Yun Yun and Xiao Yue exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then followed.

Half a day later,
The two finally arrived at a secluded valley. The valley was ordinary and seemed to have nothing unusual about it.

"The Azure Phoenix Sword stopped here, so this should be the place we're looking for," Yun Yun said softly.

"It doesn't seem like anything special..."

Xiao Yue looked down at the valley below.
She couldn't sense anything special about this place; everything seemed ordinary, no different from a normal valley. But that was normal; if there were anything special, those forces would have found it long ago.

"hiss~"

At this time,

Xiao Cai seemed to sense something. She raised her upper body towards the valley and began to hiss softly.

"Has Xiao Cai discovered something?" Yun Yun asked softly, her eyes fixed on Xiao Cai.

"Hiss, hiss~"

Xiao Cai continued to neigh, seemingly trying to convey some message to Xiao Yue.

unfortunately,

Xiao Yue couldn't understand her snake language, so she didn't know what the little guy was saying.

Seeing this, Xiao Cai gave up trying to communicate with her, slowly turning her little head, her pale purple snake eyes fixed on a direction deep in the valley.

Xiao Yue and Yun Yun exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, followed Xiao Cai's guidance into the depths of the valley. As they went deeper, the surrounding air became increasingly humid, as if a faint mist was permeating the air.

The vegetation in the valley has become increasingly lush, with all kinds of exotic flowers, rare herbs, and towering ancient trees everywhere.

suddenly,

The colorful little snake stopped and coiled up beside a huge ancient tree, its snake eyes fixed on the ground in front of it.

Xiao Yue and Yun Yun followed Xiao Cai's gaze and saw an inconspicuous huge stone slab on the ground. The slab was covered with moss and vines, and looked like an ordinary stone.

"Is this the place left behind by Venerable Cangyun?" Xiao Yue asked softly.

Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and carefully examined the stone slab.

Although it looked completely ordinary on the surface, a strange aura could be faintly felt emanating from under the stone slab. Yun Yun reached out and gently stroked the moss and vines on the stone slab, and the patterns on it gradually became visible.

“This is… the Azure Cloud Seal of the first patriarch of my Yunlan Sect!” Yun Yun looked at the pattern on the stone slab, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

Xiao Yue was confused. Although she didn't know what it was, it sounded very impressive.

"this…"

Yun Yun hesitated for a moment.

She knew very well what this seal meant; it was like Pandora's box, and no one knew what would happen once it was opened.

However, while she was still struggling, the colorful little snake beside her had already made the decision for her. The little guy simply used its tail to lift up the huge stone slab.

"Click~"

As the immensely heavy stone slab was opened,

A dark, gaping hole appeared before the two of them, emanating a chilling aura, as if something was sleeping inside, or perhaps something was quietly awakening.

"Your ancestor's Azure Cloud Seal was opened so easily?" Xiao Yue couldn't help but glance at Yun Yun beside her.

"It's not that simple..."

Yun Yun shook her head.

The patterns on the stone slab are merely a warning; the real prohibition lies within.
