Breaking the Masked Man

Unlike Venerable Tianhuo's moral bottom line, Old Yao's bottom line was obviously very flexible, and he spoke with great confidence, leaving Venerable Tianhuo stunned. However, there was one thing Venerable Tianhuo was certain of: Queen Medusa was indeed quite fond of Yao Yan, and perhaps she had truly fallen deeply in love with him... After all, he had only known them for a short time, so there were some things he shouldn't say too much about.

Think of this.

Venerable Tianhuo suddenly said, "That kid's soul realm has reached the Spirit Realm. Theoretically, he should be able to withstand the backlash of that evil fire and remain calm."

“If we were inside, he would probably hold out to the death… that’s why I pulled you out.” The old man chuckled, then paused, his tone softening slightly: “It’s better to guide than to suppress. This anger can’t be kept bottled up forever. Rather than letting him harm other women, it’s better to find someone who is compatible with him.”

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhuo didn't say anything more. He nodded and followed the other party out of the secret chamber. As for how the other party would deal with that wicked disciple Han Feng, he wasn't curious. After all, he wasn't very familiar with Elder Yao, and it was obviously better to keep a distance since he was new here.

On the contrary, Yao Lao was filled with curiosity about Venerable Tianhuo. Perhaps it was because he had resolved his inner conflict, but his mindset seemed to have returned to what it was before.

……

Queen Cai Lin, the Medusa, was completely unaware of what the two old men were whispering about. At this moment, she was focused on Yao Yan, sensing the changes in his body and trying to feel the power of the strange fire. Perhaps because she was too close to Yao Yan, the Fallen Heart Flame in his body also generated the power of the original heart fire in her body. A scorching aura instantly surged through her body, making her pretty face turn a little red.

Fortunately, he was quite strong, and the battle qi he cultivated was of the fire attribute. With the assistance of his companion soul, the Purple Nether Flame Serpent, he was able to make perfect use of it.

The primordial heart fire, which seemed terrifying to outsiders, not only posed no harm to her, but also tempered her fighting spirit and body.

"This power... is it the power of the heart fire from the Fallen Heartflame?"

Cai Lin blinked her beautiful eyes, a hint of surprise appearing. She then stared at Yao Yan for a moment, hesitated for a second, then twisted her waist and moved closer to Yao Yan. She then coiled her enchanting purple snake tail and began to cultivate beside Yao Yan.

Yao Yan paid little attention to what was happening in the outside world. At this moment, his mind was completely immersed in his body, feeling the fusion of the two flames. The process of the fusion of the origins of the different flames was extremely peculiar, as if it contained some kind of profound rule. If he could fully understand it, he might be able to understand the true meaning of the Burning Technique.

However, given Yao Yan's current cultivation level, it is obviously impossible for him to understand these things. At most, he can use this to improve his understanding and control of the strange fire.

Time flows slowly by, and the years seem to lose their meaning.

In a quiet, secluded room.

The two figures remained seated facing each other, their bodies surrounded by faint white flames that appeared and disappeared repeatedly, causing their auras to intensify. After an unknown amount of time, when the white flames on Yao Yan's body were replaced by emerald green flames, Cai Ling, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly opened her eyes. A look of surprise and doubt appeared on her beautiful and aloof face as she stared at the emerald green flames that had appeared on Yao Yan's body.

The aura emanating from the flames was exceptionally terrifying; just staring at them evoked an extreme sense of danger.

Its level of danger has undoubtedly exceeded that of the original Fallen Heartflame.

"Done?"

As Cai Lin watched all this, she thought to herself.

At this moment, Yao Yan slowly opened his eyes. The two strange fires that had been fused in the vortex of his body had been completely replaced by a ball of emerald green flame. Thanks to the power of the Fallen Heart Flame, the traces of seventh-order beast fire that had been attached to it had also disappeared.

His dark eyes were covered by emerald green flames, and an incomparably powerful battle qi surged from his body, coursing through his limbs and bones. The warm feeling caused his aura to soar in an instant, breaking through from the nine-star Dou Wang level to Dou Huang. And it didn't stop there. He broke through from the one-star Dou Huang level to the two-star Dou Huang level in an instant, then stepped into the three-star level, and only slowed down when he reached the four-star Dou Huang level.

The speed at which his strength increased left Cai Lin, who was standing to the side, completely stunned. She couldn't help but purse her red lips, and a look of astonishment rose in her eyes.

She knew that the bottleneck of becoming a Douhuang wouldn't stop Yao Yan, but the speed at which the other party's strength was improving was a bit too exaggerated.

"A four-star Dou Huang, not bad~"

Yao Yan smiled, then concealed his aura and absorbed the emerald green flames erupting from his body into his 'Spirit Absorption'. He then prepared to tease the Medusa Queen in front of him. However, the moment he poured the fused strange fire into his 'Spirit Absorption', he suddenly trembled. He then felt his heart being gripped tightly, and an indescribable evil fire rose from his lower abdomen, instantly circulating throughout his body, causing his body to turn red in an instant.

Damn it, I almost forgot... Yao Yan's smile immediately froze. He had gotten a little carried away and had forgotten the biggest problem with devouring strange fire.

He had experienced this reaction when refining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but the reaction back then was far less terrifying than after the fusion of the two different flames. At least he was able to remain calm then, but now he felt he was about to lose control, especially with Cai Lin so close to him.

The beauty and allure of Queen Medusa can perhaps only be truly appreciated by those who have seen her in person. Her delicate skin, graceful and proud figure, and cold yet charming face all tantalize the senses of men.

"..."

Yao Yan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and intended to suppress his desire. He couldn't do something as shameless as forcing himself on someone, especially since Cai Lin was Cai Die's older sister. Even if he wanted to have sex with her, he would do it openly and honestly.

Cai Lin also came to her senses at this moment. Seeing Yao Yan's breathing suddenly become disordered, she couldn't help but sway her waist and lean over, her eyes filled with concern and doubt: "What happened? Wasn't he fine just now? How did he suddenly become like this?!"

Her sweet and soft voice, even if unintentional, was like a seductive little hand, teasing Yao Yan's fragile nerves.

The faint, pleasant fragrance only amplified the stimulating effect.

At this moment, Yao Yan also realized why Cai Lin was the only one left in the entire secret room. Where did Yao Lao and Venerable Tian Huo go? He didn't believe that these two old men didn't know the aftereffects of the fusion of the different flames. They actually left Cai Lin alone in the secret room, making him a lone man and woman in the same room, as if they were afraid that he wouldn't be stimulated enough.

Those two old geezers... Yao Yan didn't know whether to praise them or scold them for a moment, but one thing he was sure of was that Cai Lin had really stimulated him a lot. The abnormal evil fire in his body increased several times in an instant. When he opened his eyes, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

"Are you... alright? I'll go find them, just bear with it!" Cai Lin was well aware that Yao Yan was in bad shape, and immediately wanted to find Yao Lao and the others for help.

“No need, they can’t help me.” Yao Yan reached out and grabbed Cai Lin’s slender arm. Her breathing became heavier, but fortunately, her eyes were still somewhat clear. Looking at Cai Lin’s charming and beautiful face, she slowly said, “Now, only you can help me.”

Cai Lin was taken aback by his words, her beautiful, delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly: "Tell me, how can I help?"

"I didn't expect that the combination of the two different flames would produce such a huge reaction. The evil fire energy it generated has already attacked my heart. If I don't release it, I am very likely to suffer a qi deviation..." Yao Yan clenched his fist and said with great difficulty.

"you……"

Cai Lin was not oblivious at this moment. She was not a naive girl who knew nothing. How could she not understand the meaning behind Yao Yan's words? Her gaze immediately turned cold. "Don't even think about it. Don't forget, I am Cai Die's sister!"

She probably didn't realize how much her words stimulated Yao Yan. The queen-like demeanor she exuded at that moment further aroused Yao Yan's deepest desire, a desire for conquest stemming from his male instincts.

"But I can't hold it in any longer."

Yao Yan said, her face flushed, her eyes almost completely clouded by desire.

"Bear with it, I'll take you out to find women!" Cai Lin said, her pretty face slightly flushed, gritting her teeth.

"I'm not that kind of person."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yan immediately released Cai Lin and sat cross-legged with great determination, seemingly trying to suppress the evil fire with his willpower. However, this suppression had the opposite effect, causing his body to begin to emit white mist.

"Then why did you accept my gift back then!" Cai Lin questioned immediately. Yao Yan hadn't been so noble when he accepted Hua She'er and the others.

“It’s different. I thought they were the dowry of the colorful butterflies.”

Yao Yan said confidently. He could still hold back at the moment, and at the same time, he wanted to see what Cai Lin thought of him, and whether she would really watch him be burned by the evil fire and choose to stand by and do nothing.

"you……"

Cai Lin was furious and glared at Yao Yan. The man was about to die, and he was still sticking to his principles. Yao Yan used to be quite clever, but when it came to these things, he suddenly had a so-called bottom line. Did he really want her to serve him? He was dreaming.

"Do you think I care whether you live or die?!"

She stared at Yao Yan with a cold and arrogant gaze, and gave a soft snort.

Yao Yan obediently spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura becoming increasingly chaotic, and his body temperature rising alarmingly high, as if he were about to explode at any moment. It seemed that if Cai Lin didn't give it to him, he would truly die to show Cai Lin what he was capable of.

Cai Lin: ... (End of Chapter)

Chapter 174: Unable to Extricate Oneself

174.

Cai Lin had originally intended to turn away upon hearing Yao Yan's words, regardless of his life or death. However, upon seeing him spitting blood, her graceful purple snake tail seemed to weigh a ton, rendering it unable to move. Her emotions became incredibly complex. She couldn't bear to watch Yao Yan suffer such a qi deviation, but asking her to help him... given her pride, she clearly couldn't accept it.

For a moment, she was also caught in a dilemma.

While suppressing the evil fire within his body, Yao Yan also observed Cai Lin's movements. If the other party really left, he obviously couldn't force her to stay. Although the evil fire within his body was troublesome, he wasn't without ways to suppress it; it was just a bit of a hassle.

As the old doctor said, some things are better managed than blocked; the more you block them, the more violently they will erupt next time.

Strange fire is a wondrous thing born from heaven and earth.

Regardless of its later attributes, it is still essentially Yang. For a normal person, refining one is already the limit. Forcibly fusing it, not to mention whether it can be melted, the Yang energy brought by the two different flames alone is something that ordinary people cannot withstand, especially in their youth when the Yang energy in their body is extremely strong. With the slightest stimulation, it will be uncontrollable... at least two times.

He didn't leave... Yao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Cai Lin didn't turn around and leave immediately. He didn't want to just find any woman to settle things with, especially with Cai Lin by his side. If he didn't have any feelings for her, it would be self-deception.

No normal man in the world could resist the temptation of Queen Medusa, and Yao Yan was no exception.

In the past, it was simply a matter of restraint.

"I can't hold back anymore!" Yao Yan opened his eyes again, his eyes bloodshot, his body radiating a scorching aura. He let out a low roar and, like a beast, embraced Cai Lin, pulling her delicate and graceful figure into his arms. He could even feel her soft warmth.

Cai Lin was ambushed, and a hint of panic appeared in her cold and beautiful eyes. She parted her red lips slightly and scolded, "Yao Yan, how dare you!"

Her words were cold and sharp, but she didn't exert any strength in her hands, letting Yao Yan hold her delicate body.

If Yao Yan still didn't understand what Cai Lin meant at this moment, then he had wasted his time traveling. He selectively ignored Cai Lin's words, lowered his head and kissed her soft lips, wantonly teasing her. The evil fire power in his body could no longer be suppressed, and it turned into a ball of emerald green flame that directly enveloped the two of them.

The terrifying heat instantly burned their clothes to ashes.

A blush appeared in Cai Lin's eyes. She was also affected by this evil fire at this moment, and her remaining rationality vanished in an instant. However, her memory had not completely disappeared. Pride in her heart made her bite down hard on Yao Yan's shoulder, as if she wanted to leave a mark on him.

But the person in front of her had very thick skin. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't leave a single mark. Instead, her teeth ached from clenching them.

“…Ah~”

As Yao Yan suppressed her emotions, Cai Lin seemed to sense what was about to happen, and a sense of melancholy and confusion filled her heart. At this moment, even she herself did not know what she was thinking. Could it be that she had really fallen in love with this boy?

How could that be? He's the man my sister has her eye on!

Their thoughts seemed to linger at that moment, but in the next instant, lust completely overwhelmed their thoughts, leading them to engage in the most primal activity.

……

The Tagor Desert, home of the Snake People.

In the quiet palace.

A slender snake woman stood gracefully, dressed in a colorful dress that outlined her breathtaking curves, exuding an alluring charm. Her appearance was also extremely perfect and beautiful, with fair and delicate skin, flawless without a single imperfection. However, her eyes seemed somewhat dazed at the moment, as if she were reminiscing about something. In her arms, she held a green fox, which was idly wagging its tail, as if it were having a pleasant dream.

"Ling'er, you're so carefree. Young Master has been gone for so many days, and you don't even miss him..."

The woman glanced down at the silly-looking 'magical pet' in her arms and muttered something under her breath, seemingly envious of Qingmuhu's carefree life. She had once enjoyed such a life under her sister's protection, but now, all of that was gone.

Now, not only does Cai Die have to suffer the pain of unrequited love, but she also has to deal with the internal affairs of the snake people.

However, these experiences also gradually matured her, giving her a queenly demeanor. As for how much of it was imitation of her sister, perhaps only she herself knows.

"Your Majesty~"
