On the streets of Mo City.
Nie Yuan and Medusa walked side by side.
The latter had a thin veil over her face, but her voluptuous figure was still very eye-catching.
"Your Majesty, Hai Bodong..."
Nie Yuan tried to speak, but was immediately interrupted.
Medusa looked ahead and said, "If it weren't for your sake, given the level of offense he just committed, I would have killed him instead of sealing his power."
Nie Yuan sighed.
The untamed Medusa Queen was just that wild and domineering.
He did not doubt the truthfulness of Medusa's words.
This woman was once a ruthless figure who led the snake people to attack the Gama Empire; she killed people entirely according to her mood.
"Um?"
Slightly startled, Nie Yuan realized Medusa was gone. Turning around, he saw her walk into a shop and quickly followed her.
This is a shoe store.
As soon as Medusa entered, even with her face covered, her stunning figure still attracted the attention of the shop assistants.
She looked at the shoes on the shelf.
Just as Nie Yuan asked Hai Bodong, snake people have no feet, only snake tails, and they move by sliding their tails on the ground.
But Medusa was a queen, and also a woman, so she would have a pursuit of beauty.
Shoes are something she cares about a lot.
The shop assistant kept introducing the products to the customers.
But Medusa ignored her, her gaze fixed on a pair of deep purple shoes.
"Try it on? If it fits, I'll buy it."
Nie Yuan took it and waved it in front of Medusa.
She didn't speak, but her eyes remained fixed on him.
Nie Yuan instructed the shop assistant to bring over a chair. He wiped the seat, and Medusa sat down on it.
Kneeling on one knee, Nie Yuan put the shoes on Medusa's jade feet.
"Tsk, it doesn't make my skin look fair enough."
Nie Yuan glanced at them, then got up and brought over green and light yellow ones one after another.
At first, it was only Medusa who was interested, but in the end, it became a costume change that Nie Yuan enjoyed.
"Are you addicted to touching it?"
Medusa's eyes held a cold indifference.
"I was just helping you try on shoes, and you really are..."
Nie Yuan's expression stiffened slightly. He released her foot, turned around, and went to calculate the cost with the shop assistant, "I'll take all of these. How much?"
Medusa stood up and tried to take a few steps.
...
After leaving the city.
Nie Yuan handed her the bag containing the shoes, rubbed his fingertips together, and produced a wisp of fighting spirit with flames. "If you absorb it into your body, it should be able to soothe that soul for a while."
Medusa could feel the desire within her body, so she did not refuse.
Sure enough, that inner dependence on Nie Yuan disappeared.
A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
"Don't make wild guesses. It has nothing to do with the strange fire; it's because of my cultivation technique."
After capturing the image, Nie Yuan placed his right palm in front of Medusa's eyes, conjuring the image of Xuanwu, a miniature Xuanwu turtle with several small snakes wrapped around its back.
Medusa's eyes widened slightly as she clearly sensed the affection and desire to get closer to the little turtle-backed snake that the soul within her possessed.
I see.
She suddenly realized what was happening, but was still puzzled. "Why is this happening?"
"It should be related to me burning you. I guess it's because you haven't fully evolved. If I burn you again for a while, you probably won't be affected by that soul anymore."
Nie Yuan said uncertainly.
He felt that this was different from the companion soul, which simply wanted to absorb the aura from his Xuanwu.
Perhaps it's because Xuanwu's realm is higher.
After all, he was cultivating a divine-level spiritual technique.
Where are you going?
Medusa suddenly realized that Nie Yuan was deliberately sending her away.
"Go back to Yunlan Sect. I am the sect leader of Yunlan Sect."
Nie Yuan replied.
Medusa's expression darkened slightly, and she was about to speak.
"Don't even think about controlling me! Believe me or not, I'll take you down with me! If I die, you won't be able to suppress that soul!" Nie Yuan deliberately exposed his neck.
Now that the reason is clear, Medusa really doesn't dare to gamble. If that soul takes over her body, she doesn't know how long she'll have to wait to take it back.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Nie Yuan and said, "If the wisp of aura you gave me disappears, I will come looking for you. Don't even think about hiding!"
"Don't worry, I'll come to you. I might need your help with something then."
Nie Yuan smiled slightly, stepped back a distance, waved his hand, spread his battle qi wings, and soared directly into the sky.
...
Yunlan Sect.
Inside the main hall, Yun Yun sat alone, dressed in a moon-white robe, her head bowed. She was not cultivating, and her beautiful, elegant face, which exuded nobility, had faint dark circles under her eyes.
Footsteps approached from the doorway. She looked up and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes when she saw who it was.
"Yunling, how's it going? Any news about Nie Yuan?"
As the other person approached, Yun Yun couldn't wait to ask.
The person shook his head.
The light that had risen in Yun Yun's eyes gradually dimmed.
"Sect Master, the Sect Master will definitely be alright, don't worry too much."
Yun Leng said.
But a wicked glint flashed in his eyes; he wished Nie Yuan would die outside and never return to Yunlan Sect.
"Have all the disciples been sent out? And those outer sect elders, tell them to get moving and report to me immediately if there is any news about Nie Yuan."
Yun Yun wouldn't listen to his comforting words at all.
Because she was there at the time, she was well aware of Nie Yuan's situation, which was not optimistic.
Since returning to Yunlan Sect, she has dreamt of that night, the moment she attacked Nie Yuan, every time she falls asleep.
Yunyun would wake up from her dream in a cold sweat every time.
If Nie Yuan hadn't moved at that moment, he probably would have pierced his heart and killed him directly.
Yun Yun never intended to kill Nie Yuan.
But at that time, she never imagined that person was Nie Yuan...
"Yunling, is there anything else?"
Seeing that the other person hadn't left, Yun Yun asked.
Yun Leng took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Yun on the table in front of her.
The inscription reads "Invitation to the Birthday Celebration of Mo Cheng, a Member of the Mo Family."
Yun Yun looked at Yun Leng with a hint of confusion.
"Sect Master, Mo Cheng is an outer disciple of our Yunlan Sect. In recent years, he has contributed the most offerings among the outer elders. He hopes to invite the Sect Master to attend this event."
Yunling clasped his hands in a fist salute.
Yun Yun frowned slightly. "He's just an outer sect elder. Right now, all I want to do is confirm Nie Yuan's whereabouts and safety as soon as possible. I have no interest in anything else."
"Sect Master, this Mo Family..."
Yunling has no intention of giving up.
"Alright, go tell Yanran to go in my place."
Yun Yun interrupted him directly before he could finish speaking.
After hesitating for two seconds, Yun Leng nodded in agreement and turned to leave the main hall.
After leaving the main hall, out of Yun Yun's sight, Yun Ling smiled and said, "It's done. That old bastard Mo Cheng is really generous. He actually spent so many gold coins just to get the young sect leader to show up."
He rubbed his thumb against the ring, a slight smile curving his lips.
Since being stripped of his title as Grand Elder by Nie Yuan and then reinstated as Grand Elder, Mo Cheng has shown the most discernment these past few days.
"Nie Yuan? You'd better die out there. You're an ungrateful wretch. When you first arrived at the sect, I took such good care of you, but once you took over the sect, the first person you targeted was me."
Yun Leng pouted and spat to the side.
He then personally went to inform Nalan Yanran, who had no objections when she heard that it was arranged by her teacher.
After setting a specific time, she found Ge Ye and prepared to ask him to come along.
Meanwhile, Yun Ling found a disciple and said arrogantly, "Mo Li, the young sect master has agreed to keep the appointment. Go back and tell your grand elder."
"Thank you, Elder Yunling."
A flicker of excitement crossed the man's face as he took out a card and respectfully handed it over with both hands.
Yunling didn't answer immediately, "What's this?"
"Grandpa said that the Grand Elder has taken over Yunlan Sect again, so there must be a lot of money in the sect... This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Mo Li answered.
Yun Leng laughed and took it, patting him on the shoulder, "Focus on your cultivation, don't worry about resources."
