"Dou King?" Hai Bodong chuckled, lifting his lower leg a large step off the ground, treading on thin air. "What if it's a Dou Zong expert?"
Looking at Hai Bodong standing in mid-air, the middle-aged alchemist felt a chill all over his body, and his voice even began to stammer: "Dou... Dou Zong..."
A Dou Huang expert was already an absolute powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire. When had an expert of this level ever appeared?!
Jialie Bi and Oba Pa also began to shiver and stammer.
They had only ever seen the words "Dou Zong level expert" in ancient texts; this was the first time they had heard someone mention it.
Hai Bodong adjusted his breathing, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.
With a bang, a bone-chilling cold current erupted from Hai Bodong's body, instantly freezing the courtyards of the two families.
A gentle breeze blew past, and with a whoosh, ice and snow filled the sky. The courtyards of the two families were instantly leveled.
"The ice power was contained only within the two courtyards, without any leakage onto the street. Elder Hai's strength is truly far beyond what it was back then," Xiao Yan said admiringly.
Simply increasing strength is easy, but being able to precisely control one's power is not so simple.
"I can't compare to you young people," Hai Bodong said with a chuckle, waving his hand.
His current strength was thanks to the pill Xiao Yan refined, and after his realm improved, his control over ice also increased proportionally.
"Those two..." Hai Bodong pointed at the two snake girls embracing each other in the distance, a strange smile on his face.
Young geniuses always had certain quirks, and these snake girls were truly a good match.
Xiao Yan hadn't paid too much attention to this trip, only ensuring there were no loose ends. He had noticed these two auras but hadn't realized they were a pair of snake girls.
No wonder Hai Bodong's ice Dou Qi, despite its overwhelming attack coverage, left no redness on their skin, nor any signs of frostbite.
They were just startled by the massive changes in their surroundings.
The physique of snake girls was mostly Yin and cold, so a cold environment caused them no harm.
The two snake girls had exquisite faces that exuded a pitiful charm, making them endearing.
They didn't look old, probably around twenty, but their figures were exceptionally curvaceous.
Long hair clung to their snowy shoulders, their skin was delicate and flawless, and their flat stomachs had no excess flesh.
They wore exotic clothing similar to their snake tails, in red and blue, with a bandeau top revealing their incredibly alluring snake waists.
Although they were a bit far apart, having encountered many beauties, Xiao Yan could still clearly imagine how supple those taut waists must be.
If they were on a bed, what breathtaking curves would those supple little waists twist into?
Just two ordinary snake girls were so tempting. Xiao Yan found it hard to imagine what kind of charm Medusa, the Snake People Queen, would possess?!
Watching Xiao Yan's fixed gaze, Hai Bodong chuckled inwardly.
Young men with high talent and virile blood naturally enjoyed these things.
Snake girls were not cheap, and seeing that both snake girls were beautiful and graceful, their price would definitely be higher.
Hai Bodong looked down at the ground, wondering who these snake girls were bought for by the family, or if everyone had a share. If they knew they had gone so cheaply to Xiao Yan, he wondered if they would die of anger and come back to life.
Xiao Yan also didn't stare intently at the two snake girls. He raised his hand and waved, "You two, don't just stand there. Come here."
The two snake girls exchanged glances. Their slender snake waists twisted, and their pair of delicate, ice-blue snake tails swayed slightly as they gracefully moved towards Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong.
Hai Bodong whispered, "These two snake girls seem to have been trained by an auction house for a while, losing their wildness. Otherwise, seeing two strangers like us, they would most likely pounce and attack."
Xiao Yan retorted, "Could it be that they weren't also deterred by the power of Elder Hai's strike?"
Hai Bodong was dismissive: "These snake girls have extremely fiery temperaments. They need time to be tempered, and they won't be easily intimidated by one or two powerful displays."
Looking at the confident Hai Bodong, Xiao Yan knew that, given his background from the Primer Clan, he was likely very knowledgeable about such dealings. He chuckled and said, "It seems Elder Hai has quite a bit of research into this matter."
"This... why are you bringing it up on me?" Hai Bodong was a bit embarrassed for a moment. "I'm just old and have seen more."
"No need to explain, no need to explain," Xiao Yan gave Hai Bodong an understanding look.
Hai Bodong opened his mouth, then looked at the snake girls who had approached and swallowed his words.
Alright, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths.
Looking at the two pitiful snake girls, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You two are quite lucky. I'm going to the Tagor Desert soon. When I go, you two can return to the Snake People race."
Hearing this, the two snake girls were both stunned, almost disbelieving their ears: Were there still men who didn't love them, snake girls?
Even if he wasn't interested in women, selling them would still bring in a lot of gold coins.
Hai Bodong was also stunned for a moment. Just let them go?
Xiao Yan chuckled, "You didn't hear wrong. When the time comes, you can go back to the Snake People race. Don't get caught again."
These two snake girls were indeed good, but they were only about the same level as his few maids.
Their charm, due to their race, was roughly comparable to Ya Fei's.
Having two more snake girls wouldn't benefit him much, nor would it help his cultivation.
It would be better to do a small favor for Queen Medusa. He would need Medusa's help for his upcoming cultivation.
The condensation of the Fallen Heart Flame had gone astray. Now, it was no longer about condensing this one Heavenly Flame, but about creating a stronger flame based on the Fallen Heart Flame.
The "Bodhi Three Insights" and "Vajra Four Rectifications" were not only interconnected but also constantly progressing.
The condensation of the Super Fallen Heart Flame was gradually becoming clear, only lacking Medusa as a powerful catalyst.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't seem to be faking it, his clear face made it easy for even the two snake girls to feel good about him. They gratefully said, "Young Master, you truly are a good person."
"Good person?" Xiao Yan laughed heartily. This wasn't a good term. He had inexplicably received two "good person" cards. "Come back with me first."
"Just take them back like that?" Hai Bodong coughed lightly.
Snake girls with two snake tails looked quite appealing, but taking them onto the street like that would be a bit conspicuous.
"Elder Hai, if you hadn't said anything, I would have been reckless." Xiao Yan raised and shook his arm, looking down at the beast-storing ring on his wrist, which he had spent some effort refining.
