--- Chapter 133 ---

After the accident of Soul-Recovering Medicine, the Western Region of the Dou Qi Continent was in chaos. Gu Clan declared antagonism against the factions participating in sieging the representatives of Gu Clan when attending the auction at the Heavenly Gathering Clan.

Even though the atmosphere in the Central Plains seems calm, several new bounties have been placed all over the area to avenge Gu Clan's representative. It doesn't directly link to Gu Clan, as they used other associates to put the bounty, so the other party can't take revenge.

Unless they are coming to the front door of Gu Clan, that is. But that will be courting death.

In a few days, a bounty war happened on the Central Plains. People are getting chased and killed, cashing out wealth from the Ancient Clans and other major factions.

However, one person cannot be found nor killed in these past days. And that person was a youth named Xiao Yan, whose appearance was brief at the incident. Yet he successfully steals the Soul-Recovering Medicine and runs away with the help of Dou Saint.

Many people tried to search for his whereabouts due to bountiful rewards worth a fortune, but they couldn't find him. These bounty hunters even searched the Jia Ma Empire and terrorized Xiao Clan, who lived in the North Northwest Region for almost a year.

Even then, Xiao Yan didn't come out. His whole family was tortured and treated worse than slaves by the bounty hunter.

In the end, Xiao Yan gained another moniker.

A heartless and wimpy thief.

...

...

Baek Ain and his partners arrived at the long yet massive river connected to the open sea. After the interception of the Jade Demon Sect's people, they decided to take an alternative route. It's not that they were afraid of Jade Demon Sect, but they didn't want to be annoyed.

"Hmm, so this is Muddy Dragon River." Baek Ain observed the muddy river extending to several thousand miles. He could spot the interchange area of the muddy river to the sea because the brown water turned faint blue there.

His companions also looked at the river with an amused expression.

"Dragon Bank Estuaries..." Lan Rou commented, frowning slightly.

"Does that Magical Beast still live here? Or has it already reached the open sea?"

Yi Xian noticed Lan Rou's expression and asked, "What are you talking about, Sister Rou?"

"Magical Beast?"

Lan Rou nodded and explained, "When I lived as Orchid Ancestor, a powerful Magical Beast lived in the Muddy Dragon River."

"It should be connected to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe in a way or two."

"When you lived was around four centuries ago, right?" Yao Ling confirmed Lan Rou's statement, to which the silver-haired beauty responded with a nod.

"Then, you must have talked about the Nine Serene Serpent Dragon Senior."

"What a mouthful name." Yafei giggled slightly.

Cai Lin's mouth twitched because she technically evolved from being the Queen of Snakemen to Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. That's one more word compared to Nine Serene Serpent Dragon.

She looked away and mumbled, "Maybe I should change my title in the future."

Xue Rongrong sensed something and warned them, "Something is coming."

The Muddy Dragon River suddenly shook and splashed water everywhere.

Baek Ain erected a Dou Qi shield, activating his Ashen's Eyes to see the surroundings more clearly. He was surprised to see a large swarm of Magical Beast under this muddy water.

It's not just one or two Magical Beasts, but hundreds if not thousands of them. Not to mention these Magical Beasts are Rank 5 to 7, possessing human-like intelligence.

A muddy water pillar shot up abruptly, revealing a gigantic serpentine body. Covered by streamline-shaped white scales, a snake-type Magical Beast appeared before their eyes. It stretched over a hundred miles and was topped by two curved greenhorns, matching the charmed green eyes.

"Hmm, those green eyes..." Baek Ain murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, his companions were shocked.

"What the fuck." Yi Xian blurted straightforwardly.

Yafei couldn't feel the strength of this massive serpent and couldn't help but question something solemnly. "Rank 9 Magical Beast, there is no other explanation." She was sure of her guess.

Cai Lin frowned at this serpent because she could feel her Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's Bloodline churned slightly. It had never happened before.

"A serpent with curved horns. Serpentine Dragon." Lan Rou recalled her memories. "This fellow's bloodline has mutated."

"Wait, who's that?"

Everyone watched a small figure standing on the Serpentine Dragon's head. It was a young lady in a green robe, her dainty green eyes marked with unique patterns and her loose green hair scattered by the winds.

Her appearance looks like a refined young noble lady.

"Qing..."

"Qing Lin?" Baek Ain recognized the young lady immediately.

"Huh? Stop joking, Ain. How could that cute Qing Lin-!" Yi Xian was about to refute Baek Ain's claim, but the young lady they talked about changed her expression to this excited, bubbly one and jumped to their side.

"Shit, It is Her!"

Qing Lin landed on the dock near them and ran away to Baek Ain, staring at him with bright eyes.

Baek Ain chuckled and opened his arms, "Go on."

Qing Lin hugged Baek Ain tightly and even sniffed his scent. They hadn't met for more than seven months, so she longed for his existence.

"Boss-!"

"Call me Brother Ain." Baek Ain said when she was about to refer to him as boss.

Qing Lin let out a satisfied smile and uttered excitedly, "Hehe, Brother Ain~! I missed you~!"

"It's been a while since we met, Qing Lin." Baek Ain patted Qing Lin's head, making her squeal.

The skinny girl he saved in the Tager Desert one and a half years ago has grown into a fine young lady. She's evolving from a weak duck to a beautiful swan. Amusing analogy, but Baek Ain couldn't express his feelings fully.

"Hi, Sister Xian, Sister Fei, Instructor Rou." Qing Lin greeted the others with a bow. But she awkwardly stopped when spotting Cai Lin.

"And this woman?"

"Y-You're Queen Medusa! Big Brother Ain, run away!" She realized and hurriedly warned Baek Ain while seemingly controlling the massive serpentine dragon with her pupils' ability.

"I'll handle this monster for you!"

ROAR!!!

The serpentine dragon roared at Cai Lin.

Cai Lin raised her brow as Qing Lin's aura exploded, reaching 5-Star Dou Venerate instantly.

"How?!" Yafei and Yi Xian's eyes widened in disbelief.

But to Baek Ain and Cai Lin, the answer is clear.

"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. I see that you were born in my clan. That explained how you despised me." Cai Lin sighed sadly.

"It seems me being a Queen cannot hide the ugliness of the Snake People."

"Come. Attack me, little girl."

"I'll accept your hatred."

"I don't hate Snake People." Qing Lin indifferently retorted. "I just hated you for hurting Big Brother Ain..."

Baek Ain laughed helplessly on the side. Even Yafei, Yi Xian, and Lan Rou laughed just like him, confusing Elder Xue Rongrong and Yao Ling.

Cai Lin was confused. Even though she had watched Baek Ain's journey from the Jia Ma Empire to this moment, sometimes she took a short nap to fasten her evolution. She could only recall a few things about this green-haired girl.

"Hurry up, Sisters! Run!" Qing Lin was emotional.

"PFFT-! HAHAHAHA~!" Yi Xian couldn't hold her laughter.

Baek Ain patted Qing Lin and explained, "She's with us."

"Don't worry. That woman won't do anything bad because I've tamed the big baddie, Queen Medusa."

"Who tamed me, huh?" Cai Lin fiercely glared at Baek Ain.

"Really?" Qing Lin frowned, summoning other snake-type beasts from the dimension inside her pupils.

Baek Ain appeared behind Cai Lin and slapped her ass gently, "Yup."

Pa!

"Hnn~!" Cai Lin moaned lightly because Baek Ain applied Nirvana Touch in that slap. "Y-You!"

Baek Ain innocently picked Cai Lin's hand and added, "See?"

"She didn't try to do anything bad to me."

Qing Lin blinked her green eyes and nodded, "Okay, as expected of Big Brother Ain."

"You even tamed Queen Medusa."

"HAHAHAHAHA~!" Yi Xian is dying of laughter at this sight. Ya Fei and Lan Rou only giggled, trying to maintain their looks.

Cai Lin huffed and gazed at Yi Xian, giving the poisonous lady a cold yet calculating look. "Just you wait..." She vowed silently.

"Anyway, how did you reach Western Region?" Baek Ain changed the topic of conversation.

Qing Lin blushed and answered, "It's actually like this..."
