A pink curtain obscured all view from outside the room.
In the hazy darkness, only two figures could be seen, entwined and toasting.
Though he'd imbibed a considerable amount of wine, Mo Tang remained remarkably clear-headed.
For a Dou Wang-level warrior, the idea of drunkenness was a joke.
But what's the saying? It
's not the wine that intoxicates, but the person himself!
Su Mei had transformed into a serpent, her lithe waist twitching, her entire body resting against Mo Tang's chest.
Slowly, Mo Tang began to sense something was amiss.
Su Mei's movements became increasingly suggestive, even reaching under his shirt and caressing him.
Mo Tang shuddered, "Damn it! Is this little devil trying to kill me right here and now?"
He quickly grabbed the treacherous hand.
He had a real snake on his chest, and he wasn't afraid of getting bitten!
Sensing Mo Tang's nervousness, Su Mei's seductive smile deepened. She teased, "Little Tang, don't hold my hand... I have something even better for you to play with..."
Mo Tang's lips twitched, feeling his body reaching its limit. He knew immediately that this sensual dinner needed to end.
Su Mei, who was already in high spirits, was naturally very unhappy about this.
However, she didn't intend to force herself on him, which made Mo Tang breathe a sigh of relief.
Returning to his room, Mo Tang inhaled his own feminine scent, tinged with alcohol, then undressed and took a good bath.
Sitting in the warm water with his eyes closed, Mo Tang pondered the day's events.
"Deputy Leader of the Rakshasa Sect, that's not bad..."
Indeed, after Su Mei's personal honey-trap seduction, Mo Tang finally accepted her invitation and became the Deputy Leader of the Rakshasa Sect.
Of course, this wasn't a genuine fascination with women, but a decision made after careful consideration.
Due to its geographical location, the Black Horn Region has become a gathering place for fugitives from all over the continent.
This has also made it the only place capable of gathering all the resources of the entire Dou Qi Continent...
Constantly, rare resources from various regions converge here.
Here, advanced techniques and fighting skills, as well as various divine weapons and armor, medicine cauldrons, medicinal herbs, high-level elixirs, and so on, rarely seen outside, are all available.
In such a unique place, Mo Tang naturally desires to establish his own power...
However, the Black Horn Region has its own rules.
To survive in this chaotic and barbaric place, one must rely on overwhelming strength.
Unfortunately, Mo Tang currently lacks such power, so relying on a local power to regenerate through a shell company has become a very practical method.
...
...
Opening his eyes, he stepped out of the bathtub.
Mo Tang sat cross-legged on his bed and waved his hand to open his system panel.
"Intermediate energy detected: 300 points. Absorb?"
"Yes/No."
"Yes!"
As Mo Tang finished his words, the Blood Spirit Branch he held in his hand instantly turned to dust and vanished into thin air.
After absorbing and transforming all the herbs he had purchased today, Mo Tang's intermediate energy level had increased by over a thousand points.
A one-star Dou Wang upgrade to a two-star Dou Wang required nearly three thousand points of intermediate energy, so he couldn't raise his strength by another star at the moment.
However, he still had nine Earth Fire Lotus Seeds in his hand. These contained even more energy than the Blood Spirit Branch. If he absorbed and transformed all of them, it would definitely be enough to ascend to a two-star Dou Wang...
Thinking of this, Mo Tang pulled out another cyan Fire Lotus Seed from his ring.
"Intermediate energy detected: 350 points. Absorb?"
"Yes/No."
Mo Tang raised his eyebrows.
As expected, the energy content of these Earth Fire Lotus Seeds was astonishing.
"One Earth Fire Lotus Seed has 350 points of intermediate energy, and nine of them will have 3150 points of intermediate energy, which is more than enough for me to improve my strength to a two-star Dou Wang."
Thinking of this, Mo Tang finally showed a relieved smile on his face.
It seems that his operation was very effective.
But just when he was about to absorb and transform the Earth Fire Lotus Seed in his hand, his chest suddenly surged, and then a small, cold thing came out from inside.
"Hey, hey..."
Xiao Qi, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, called Mo Tang twice like a spoiled child, and then nudged the Earth Fire Lotus Seed in Mo Tang's palm with his head. Its intention was self-evident.
Mo Tang's face darkened, and he grinned and said, "You little guy, you are really greedy! I still have a use for this thing, so I can't let you eat it..."
"Hey... hey, hey..."
Xiao Qi ignored Mo Tang's words and simply rubbed her little head against his palm. Finally, she rolled over, revealing her white belly, like a child throwing a tantrum.
Mo Tang slapped his forehead helplessly, smiling wryly, "Hey, hey, you little bastard, mind your appearance!"
You share this body with that proud Queen. If she knew you were acting so shamefully, she'd be furious!
But on second thought, leaving the Earth Fire Lotus Seed to Xiao Qi was actually a good idea.
After all, his system wasn't picky about food and could absorb herbs of any attribute. And as a top-tier fire-attributed magical beast of an ancient species, only this high-level fire-attributed spiritual object could boost Xiao Qi's growth.
The companion amethyst source she'd previously used as rations had long since been consumed. Although she was still digesting the alien fire energy within her body, it would eventually run out.
Therefore, to ensure her growth wasn't delayed, finding her new food was urgent.
According to Mo Tang's calculations, if the little one completely digested the nine Earth Fire Lotus seeds, she would likely pass through her larval stage and enter her growth phase.
Considering that the fully formed Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python could rival a peak Dou Zun-level warrior, Xiao Qi, once in her growth phase, would be able to truly unleash the power of a Dou Zong-level warrior. This would be a significant boost for Mo Tang, far more important than even increasing her Dou Wang rank by one star!
With this in mind, Mo Tang abandoned the idea of absorbing and transforming the Earth Fire Lotus seeds as well.
Patting Xiao Qi's head, Mo Tang smiled at her, "Alright, alright, stop messing around. I'll keep this for you."
"But you can't eat it until you've completely refined and absorbed the fire energy within you..."
By giving up on transforming the Earth Fire Lotus seeds, Mo Tang also temporarily gave up on improving his cultivation, instead focusing on directly upgrading his Earth-level combat skill, Three Thousand Thunders, to the Grand Perfection stage.
With the bonus of three thousand thunders at the great success level, the improvement in Mo Tang's combat effectiveness would even exceed the improvement in his cultivation by one star.
