Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were both surprised by the fiery and dazzling scene before them and stopped in their tracks.
"Let me show you something impressive!" Gu Fei said with a smile, diving directly into the magma. Soon, he emerged with the two-headed fire snake.
This act also stimulated Qinglin and activated the physical effect of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils.
"Oh my god, Qinglin, you can actually subdue a fourth-level monster..." Xiao Yixiang said, amazed and pleased for Qinglin.
Gu Fei then briefly introduced the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil physique to both of them.
The two-headed fire snake, once terrifying and cunning, now stood quietly after being tamed by Qinglin. Qinglin found it surprisingly well-behaved and smiled.
This smile showed her relief about her own bloodline and her gratitude toward Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yixian.
[Qinglin feels grateful, and her emotion value increases by 70]
Gu Fei observed her calm demeanor and felt much happier himself.
With Qinglin leading the two-headed fire snake, Gu Fei easily reached the place where the Qinglian Earth Core Fire was born. He collected the Green Lotus Platform and the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds and put them into his ring.
"Brother Gu Fei, did you find the strange fire this time?" Xiao Yixiang asked with anticipation.
"No," Gu Fei replied, shaking his head. He took out a colorful scale and said, "This scale was left by Queen Medusa. It seems the strange fire here was taken by her. We may need to go to the snake people."
"Is that so? That's a pity!" Xiao Yixiang expressed her regret, as she knew Gu Fei came here to find the strange fire.
Qinglin realized that Queen Medusa was likely the powerful aura she sensed six months ago.
The three of them then returned to the restaurant in Shimo City. Gu Fei waited for them to freshen up before knocking on the doors of Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin's rooms.
He looked serious, which made Qinglin inexplicably nervous.
"Qinglin, since you have such a strong physique, you are a great candidate for cultivation. Next, I will teach you the method of cultivation," Gu Fei said seriously.
"Um!" Qinglin nodded seriously.
[Qinglin feels grateful, and her emotion value increases by 70]
Her heart was filled with gratitude and joy. She looked forward to being strong enough to protect Brother Gu Fei and Sister Xiao Yixian.
After the teaching session, Xiao Yixiang decided to share something she had been holding back.
"Qinglin, I actually have a special physique similar to yours, which is hated and feared by many. It's called the Evil Poison Body."
She explained the threat and hidden dangers of the Evil Poison Body. Xiao Yixiang wasn't sure if she was comforting Qinglin or expressing her own fears. She worried that one day she might be hated and ultimately harmed because of her poisonous body.
But seeing Qinglin made her feel a bit relieved.
Qinglin finally understood why the Little Fairy Doctor avoided physical contact and sometimes seemed to avoid her touch.
Upon learning about the Evil Poison Body, Qinglin became concerned for the Little Fairy Doctor.
At this point, Gu Fei said, "Don't worry, I have a way to address the hidden dangers of the Evil Poison Body. It will require a lot of materials, but once I find the strange fire, I will gather those materials and resolve it as soon as possible."
"Really?" Xiao Yixiang's eyes brightened, and her depression lifted with surprise.
Gu Fei noticed the fear behind her bright smile but said nothing, waiting for her to express her own thoughts.
[Xiao Yixian feels hopeful, and her emotion value increases by 100]
After hearing Gu Fei, the Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face. Qinglin was genuinely happy for her.
The next two days were spent preparing in Shimo City. Gu Fei, Xiao Yixiang, and Qing Lin bought supplies and visited various shops.
Gu Fei decided it was time to leave for the desert area occupied by the snake people. He summoned the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which caused some confusion for Qing Lin.
The Little Fairy Doctor occasionally looked up at the sky as if expecting something.
"Brother Gu Fei, Sister Xiao Yixiang, why haven't we left yet?" Qing Lin asked.
The Little Fairy Doctor smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a moment."
Qing Lin watched in amazement as a huge flying monster approached from the sky, circled above them, and landed smoothly on the ground.
[Qinglin is shocked, and her emotion value increases by 70]
"This is Brother Gu Fei's flying magic beast. Isn't it impressive?" the Little Fairy Doctor explained with a smile.
[Qinglin is shocked, and her emotion value increases by 70]
Seeing Qinglin's dazed expression, Gu Fei smiled and helped Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin onto the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Qinglin finally woke up, her face full of excitement.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King flew into the sky, and Qinglin shared the Little Fairy Doctor's excitement as it was her first time on the lion king's back.
Following their map, they arrived at the Mei Snake Tribe's territory after a full day of flying.
After such a long journey with two women, Gu Fei found an oasis for them to bathe in the lake.
"This is the territory of the snake people. Please leave immediately!" The snake people of the Mei Snake Tribe, having noticed the large flying beast, were initially tactful.
"Get out of here if you don't want to die!" the lion king roared, its wings creating a powerful gust that blew many of the snake people away.
Under the overwhelming power, the remaining snake people dared not advance.
Meanwhile, a hundred miles away in the desert, a battle raged. One side was Yue Mei, leader of the Mei Snake Tribe, and the other side was Gu He and his group, who had come to search for strange fire.
