Having resolved the He family issue, Mo Tang reorganized the Mo Alliance.
Previously, the Mo Alliance was merely a loose alliance. While its members voluntarily adhered to its rules as it grew stronger, it ultimately remained a true power.
This time, Mo Tang aimed to revamp everything. He established a Council of Elders, inviting the leaders of the alliance's leading families to serve as members and jointly manage the alliance's chores. These included
the Hester family, a family as renowned as the He family, and the Nalan family, which had lost Nalan Jie. The Mo family naturally had a representative as well, namely Mo Lan, the Mo family patriarch, who had been forcibly boosted to Dou Ling level through elixirs.
Mo Tang stipulated that members of the Council of Elders must be at least Dou Ling level, otherwise they would appear to be too weak.
Furthermore, Dou Wang-level warriors formed the Offering Group. As Alliance Offerings, they enjoyed all the benefits of the alliance and received an annual sixth-grade elixir as a reward.
The Offering Group was led by the Lion King Yan Shi, a peak Dou Wang-level warrior.
As for the Pill King Gu He, Mo Tang had him establish the Alliance's own Medicine Hall, independent of the Alliance's Elders and Worship Council, answering solely to the Alliance Leader.
All Alliance alchemists would be assigned to the Medicine Hall, responsible for refining elixirs for the Alliance on a regular basis. When a specific elixir was needed, the Alliance would also be tasked with procuring herbs.
With a sufficient supply of elixirs, Mo Tang believed that within five years, a group of Dou Wang and even Dou Huang-level warriors would emerge from the Alliance.
After reorganizing the Mo Alliance, Mo Tang also announced an alliance with the Serpent People, stipulating that the two sides must coexist peacefully. Conflicts would require mediation, and irreconcilable situations would require direct confrontation in the competition arena...
This approach minimized losses for both sides.
However, Mo Tang's rule, in the years that followed, unexpectedly sparked a boom in competitive arenas throughout the Eastern Province and cities bordering the Tagor Desert.
Having done all this, Mo Tang knew it was time to leave.
If he wanted to rapidly improve his strength, he couldn't stay in one place for long.
After all, even when you're cutting leeks, you still need to give them time to grow afterward...
During this time, Mo Tang could move on to more fertile land to continue harvesting.
The next morning, several figures flashed by on a peak outside Yancheng.
Gazing at the sprawling city at the foot of the mountain, Mo Tang tilted his head slightly and whispered to Xiao Yixian, "This time, I'm likely leaving the entire Northwest Continent. Are you really planning on coming with me?"
Xiao Yixian rolled her eyes playfully. "What? You want to get rid of me? Are you looking for another woman, afraid I'll be a distraction?"
Mo Tang's eyes glared. "How dare you slander Qingbai out of thin air!"
"Tsk!"
Why two voices?
Mo Tang turned and saw Medusa, who shared Xiao Yixian's disdainful glare.
"You don't believe it either?"
Queen Medusa looked at him calmly, saying, "From what I've seen and heard, I don't believe it."
"...!" He
suddenly felt he shouldn't have given her the Soul Melting Pill so quickly.
"I still like the way you looked when I held your tail..."
These words instantly broke the once aloof Queen Medusa's defenses.
"If you dare say that again, I'll silence you forever!"
Mo Tang chuckled, realizing he actually quite enjoyed seeing the Queen panicking. What could he do?
"Alright, enough kidding. From now on, I'll have to look after the affairs of the Jiama Empire. Oh, and about the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun and I are away, so you should pay more attention to it too..."
Queen Medusa sneered, "Where's your face? Where's your face?"
The Mo League was fine, but they'd actually left the Yunlan Sect to me too. So, should I even look after your little lover?
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned," Mo Tang laughed heartily.
"Humph! You're certainly thick-skinned," Queen Medusa sneered, completely helpless against this man's shamelessness.
"But... even if you're thick-skinned, you need to be healthy. There are already three of you, I think that's enough to fill your body..."
The resentful words startled Mo Tang.
He had never seen the Queen in such a state before... He
slowly stepped forward, extending his arms without hesitation, and gently embraced Medusa.
As soon as his arms touched her delicate form, she tensed up, a touching blush spreading across her cool, beautiful face...
While this wasn't their first intimate encounter, it was their first genuine embrace.
After a brief embrace, Mo Tang released his grip and whispered to Medusa, "Remember my words, protect yourself!"
While he didn't know when the Soul Palace would erupt in war in this lifetime, Mo Tang didn't expect Medusa to choose a direct confrontation.
Even if the Mo Alliance was destroyed, Mo Tang wouldn't be too heartbroken. But if anything happened to Medusa, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life...
"You... be careful too. If you run into any trouble you can't resolve, let me know. I'll rush you wherever you are!"
Medusa bit her lip lightly, her voice deep and resolute.
Queen Medusa looked like this, probably more than anyone could imagine.
Little Doctor Fairy, watching the two of them, rolled her eyes. It's just
a short absence, isn't it? It's not like you're never coming back, is there a need for such a life-or-death separation?
Besides, you're all so openly showing off your affection, so what should I, who also got the female lead role, do?
Are you jealous?
But she was already used to Mo Tang's scumbag nature.
Just as Mo Tang was about to say goodbye and leave, a thought struck her. She tilted her head slightly to look at Medusa and whispered, "I heard that even after Medusa's transformation into a human, she had to undergo a baptism at her tribe's altar before she could have sex. Is that true?"
Even Queen Medusa was a little stumped by Mo Tang's sudden question.
Her usual decisiveness had vanished.
Her rosy little mouth parted slightly, and her slender neck instantly stained pink. Something stuck in her heart, but she couldn't utter a single word because of the turmoil in her heart...
For her, fighting and even taking lives were something she could do without blinking an eye. However, in front of such a naked man and woman, she instantly became like a panicked little girl, unsure how to answer such a question.
Finally, the somewhat embarrassed and angry Queen shouted at the wretched man, "Get lost!"
and then ran away with a red face without looking back.
