The towel froze in her hands.
Her emerald-like eyes lit up.
"Yes! I want to!"
After last night, her feelings toward Ye Chen were no longer simply loyalty.
She wanted to stand beside him, not far behind him.
She wished she could one day catch up to the man she loved.
Ye Chen nodded, smiling.
"Good. I'll teach you some basic breathing techniques first."
Since Qing Lin was still below the level of a true Fighter, she could not sense her inner pathways or cultivate proper techniques.
Ye Chen could only help by building her foundation.
He brought out precious medicinal pills and guided her step by step.
The blue lotus he had retrieved from the magma began to show its purpose
When Qing Lin meditated on it, her cultivation speed was far above ordinary people, almost unnatural.
While guiding her, Ye Chen also cultivated on his own.
His strength had already reached the peak of Eight-Star Dou Spirit when he arrived in the desert.
Now he was only a small step away from the realm of Dou King.
His talent and speed were terrifying
But it still wasn't enough.
The danger brought by the abduction of Xiao Xun'er had not yet been resolved.
A powerful expert from the Ancient Clan could arrive in Wu Tan City in half a year.
With Ye Chen's current strength, he couldn't resist a Dou Venerate, much less defy an entire ancient clan.
He needed power.
More power.
He took out a jade bottle.
Inside was a fiery-red lotus seed....the Earth Fire Lotus Seed.
The pure energy inside it was overwhelming.
Unlike the violent essence of the Green Lotus Core Flame, which he couldn't absorb, the lotus seed contained mostly refined energy.
Perfect for cultivation.
Ye Chen swallowed it.
It turned into a surge of blazing energy that rushed down his throat like a raging river, smashing into his meridians with brute force.
Ye Chen focused inward.
Despite its ferocity, his meridians endured it
His Dragon-Elephant Physique and high-level cultivation protected him.
The fiery energy melted into droplets of jade-green liquid.....each drop containing the seed's purest essence.
Ye Chen activated the Devouring Origin Art.
His Dou Qi churned like a beast, sucking the jade liquid dry and sending its power into his cyclone at terrifying speed.
Boom!
A muffled internal sound—
His cultivation surged from Eight-Star to Nine-Star Dou Spirit in an instant.
Outside the room, guards felt the sudden burst of pressure and trembled.
Soon even the City Lord, Xu Guang, rushed over, staring in awe.
"This aura… he's grown stronger again…"
But Ye Chen wasn't done.
"This lotus seed isn't enough to reach Dou King."
He swallowed another.
Then another.
Time passed—
Two days and two nights.
Until finally… on the third morning…
Ye Chen's aura exploded like a volcanic eruption, shaking even the stone walls.
Far away, Xu Guang felt a wave of suffocating pressure.
"Such terrifying momentum… did he just break through Dou King!?"
At the same time, dozens of kilometers outside Stone Desert City....
A purple silhouette in the sky suddenly froze mid-flight.
Her charming eyes narrowed with surprise.
"That aura… someone is breaking through to Dou King?"
Then the purple figure shot toward the city.....
Queen Medusa.
After flying at high speed for over ten minutes, Ye Chen descended onto a remote sand dune. ..This place was nearly a hundred li away from Stone Desert City....far enough that no one should easily find him.
But the moment his speed slowed, a sharp sound sliced through the air behind him.
Ye Chen turned around.
A graceful silhouette emerged from the sky like a falling violet star.
The woman who arrived wore an elegant, noble purple robe.
The fabric clung perfectly to her curvy, mature figure—soft, fragrant, dangerous.
Beneath the robe, a long amethyst-colored serpent tail swayed gently, releasing an intoxicating wild charm.
Her long, silky black hair cascaded naturally over her shoulders, framing her slender waist.
With every small movement, her aura of enchanting allure mixed seamlessly with the inherent dignity of a queen....deadly and mesmerizing.
When Ye Chen's gaze finally landed on her stunning face, his heart involuntarily trembled.
So this was Queen Medusa.
At last, he understood the meaning of the word bewitching.
Beautiful wasn't enough. Seductive wasn't enough. Regal wasn't enough.
She was all of them at once.
