Among the women Xiao Yan knew, when it came to enchantment and allure, perhaps only Ya Fei from Wu Tan City could compare. “Gulp…” Staring at this enchanting woman, Xiao Yan’s throat slightly rolled, his hand slowly moving to his thigh, giving it a harsh pinch. The intense pain brought him back to some degree of clarity. His gaze swept over the lake beside the woman, beneath the clear water, a green snake tail swayed gently, exuding a wild allure.
“Snake people…” he murmured softly, squinting his eyes. In an instant, his face was covered in shock because he discovered that with his soul perception, he could not detect what level the naked woman in front of him was.
“Trouble… This woman is at least a Dou Ling or even a Dou Wang level expert.” Swallowing, Xiao Yan vaguely guessed the woman’s strength. Just as he was about to choose to retreat, he suddenly noticed that the naked woman in the lake turned her sparkling eyes towards where he was hiding. He felt a slight shock: “With Elder Alchemist helping me hide my aura, how could she possibly detect me?”
The enchanting snake woman in the lake, with eyes like spring water, stared intently at Xiao Yan’s hiding spot. After a moment, she covered her red lips and laughed, “Little human, did you think you could steal a glance at big sister and just leave like that?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the snake woman clapped her slender hand on the lake surface, a water arrow rising. She opened her red lips, spitting a stream of green venom into the arrow, then launched it with great force towards where Xiao Yan was hiding.
Although the snake woman’s words were as gentle as lovers’ flirtation, her actions were extremely vicious. If Xiao Yan had been hit by the poisonous arrow, he would have lost his life or at least a layer of skin.
Fortunately, since Xiao Yan had sensed the terrifying power of the snake woman, he had been keeping his mind focused on her. Seeing her strike so quickly, he instantly stepped hard on the ground, dashing out horizontally.
“Swish…” The water arrow missed, and the trees where it fell wilted rapidly within moments.
Xiao Yan glanced at the large patch of withered trees where he had stood before, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath. This woman’s poison was too fierce, wasn’t it?
“Hehe, I didn’t expect such a pretty little guy…” Seeing Xiao Yan rush out from the trees, the snake woman’s eyes lit up. Unbothered by her bare upper body, she smiled, “You can continue washing, elder sister… I’m just passing through.”
“Haha, little one, you’ve got some skill. But in this forest, there are thousands of hidden venomous snakes. Do you really think you can kill them all?” she said, glancing indifferently at the dead snake.
The snake woman’s red lips parted, and a strange sound wave emitted from her mouth. With the sound wave, rustling noises suddenly rose in the woods. In just a moment, the trees around Xiao Yan were swarming with various venomous snakes. These snakes, with their cold triangular pupils, stared ruthlessly at Xiao Yan below, ready to spray their deadly venom at the command of the snake woman.
Seeing the snakes surrounding him, Xiao Yan felt his scalp tingle. He realized why the woman had detected his presence—she could control these snakes, making it like having countless spies in the dense forest. He must have been spotted as soon as he entered the oasis.
“Madam Yue Mei, do we need to kill him?” Suddenly, several snake women who had been guarding the path appeared on the surrounding tree trunks, coldly staring at Xiao Yan and asking softly.
“Hehe, no rush… It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a human dare to come this far,” the snake woman called Yue Mei said coquettishly. She swung her snake tail, gracefully gliding to the shore, standing there with her nude body.
Two figures flashed behind Yue Mei, covering her body with a black robe, concealing the sight that would inflame any man.
Yue Mei, letting her subordinates dress her, combed her wet hair and smiled at Xiao Yan, “Little one, can you tell me why you’re here? You should know, humans rarely venture deep into the desert, let alone near the oasis. Are you a spy for the Jia Ma Empire? Are you planning to start a war again?”
By the end, Xiao Yan could clearly feel the coldness in Yue Mei’s enchanting smile.
“Cough… I was just passing through, looking for some water. As for being a spy, do I look like one?” Xiao Yan spread his hands, speaking innocently, while also subtly scanning for a way to break free.
“Hehe, indeed, you don’t look like one…” Yue Mei’s enticing eyes scanned Xiao Yan, and she smiled, her smile beautiful.
“Hehe, since I don’t look like one, then you continue washing. I’ll be taking my leave,” Xiao Yan said, laughing. Stepping hard on the ground, he shot towards the nearby jungle.
“Come back!” As he moved, a snake woman from the side of a tree appeared in front of him, thrusting a sharp spear at Xiao Yan’s head.
“Great Dou Shi…” Feeling the dense battle qi from her, Xiao Yan’s lips twitched, gripping the heavy ruler and swinging it with all his might.
The heavy ruler whistled past, the pressure of the force bending the nearby bushes.
“Clang!”
With the crisp sound, Xiao Yan’s body recoiled, leaving a series of footprints on the ground before dissipating the terrifying force.
Compared to Xiao Yan’s retreat, the Great Dou Shi snake woman was much calmer. Her body slightly swayed, dissolving the force of the ruler, and she raised her eyes, staring coldly at Xiao Yan.
“Phew… No wonder you’re a Great Dou Shi, the difference is…” Shaking his slightly numb hand, Xiao Yan licked his lips, bitterly smiling.
“Hehe, little one, since you’re here, why leave? Come play at my tribe, I guarantee you’ll forget you’re human,” Yue Mei said, her eyes showing a hint of surprise, then coquettishly smiling.
“Never mind, I still prefer being human. A tail isn’t very convenient for walking…” Xiao Yan sighed, rotating the heavy ruler in his hand and putting it away in his ring. He looked at the enchanting woman in the luxurious black robe, grinning.
Hearing Xiao Yan’s mocking words, Yue Mei’s face turned cold, her smile fading. “Since that’s the case, stay here as fertilizer for the oasis…”
“Kill him!” With a wave of her hand, Yue Mei’s words were filled with cold killing intent.
Hearing her order, the snake women immediately unleashed their killing intent towards humans. They rushed forward, their venomous spears glowing ominously under the moonlight, aiming at Xiao Yan below.
“Phew…” Feeling the killing intent from all sides, Xiao Yan took a deep breath. His back trembled, and large purple wings shot out. He stomped hard on the ground, and with a burst of energy, his body soared into the sky.
Reaching mid-air, Xiao Yan flapped his wings, waving at the stunned snake women below, “Goodbye, ladies, continue your bath. I really am just passing through…”
“Battle qi turning into wings?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s wings, Yue Mei’s face showed a hint of shock. But after a moment, she furrowed her brows, shaking her head, “No… It’s not battle qi. Little one, you’re becoming more and more interesting. How could I let you go so easily?”
Covering her lips, Yue Mei chuckled, her eyebrows full of cold killing intent. Looking at Xiao Yan flying out of the oasis, she waved at the snake women, “You go back to the tribe. I’ll see if this little one can escape from me.”
“Yes, madam!” Hearing this, the snake women about to chase him stopped, bowed respectfully to Yue Mei, and without hesitation, vanished into the jungle.
After all the snake women had left, Yue Mei slowly lifted her face, watching Xiao Yan’s almost invisible black dot, smiling seductively. Her body trembled, and a pair of large wings formed behind her, solidifying into a pair of light blue energy wings.
Flapping her wings, Yue Mei’s body rose rapidly, chasing after Xiao Yan.
“Hehe, little one, if people knew a mere Dou Shi could escape from me, I’d be laughed to death by those guys,” she mused, her laughter gradually fading into the cool oasis, returning to its usual calm.
