Battle Through the Heavens: I had no intention of getting involved, but a yandere beauty stuck to my

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but lower her head and sigh helplessly. It seemed that the disappearance of her junior brother was a huge blow to her master.

Nalan Yanran's casual remark, however, seemed completely unaware that it would come true.

At this moment, Xiao Miao was genuinely busy, being pursued and killed.

Xiao Miao glanced back at the woman chasing him from time to time, a hint of annoyance flashing through his mind. He had been flying in the air for two hours.

If this continued, his fighting spirit would be exhausted, and the woman behind him wouldn't give him any chance to recover, leaving him completely helpless.

Xiao Miao thought for a moment, then stopped and waited for the woman behind him to approach.

Before long, the two figures, which were initially far apart, became visible silhouettes of each other.

"Why did you stop running? Did you give up?"

Seeing the cold words from the person in front of him, Xiao Miao spoke calmly:

"How can you catch me? You've been chasing me relentlessly. Let's make a deal, what do you want in return for letting me leave?"

After speaking, Xiao Miao couldn't help but glance around. All around was a damn desert, with not a single human city in sight. It seemed he had gone to the wrong place again.

Looking at the man who had yielded before her, the snake-woman simply spoke:

"It's nothing, I just want the strange fire in your body. Don't be nervous, I just want to invite you back to the Snake-People Clan to make a deal with me. If you agree, our Snake-People Clan will form an alliance with you, and the previous matter will be wiped clean. In addition, we will also pay you an extra sixth-grade pill. How about it?"

As he watched the beautiful woman in front of him speak calmly, Xiao Miao's remaining fighting spirit quickly gathered when he heard that her purpose was the strange fire on her body, but he soon relaxed it.

After listening, Xiao Miao frowned.

"What kind of deal could make you so generous? Are you perhaps planning to discard me after I've served my purpose?"

After hearing Xiao Miao's words, the woman merely glanced at him sideways.

"If I wanted to discard you after you've served your purpose, I wouldn't wait any longer. I can do it now. I'm sure you don't have much fighting spirit left in your body. I can promise that this won't do you much harm, and I won't need to take away your strange fire."

Xiao Miao's expression changed, not expecting that his internal condition could be seen so clearly.

"I can agree to that, but let me recover my fighting spirit first."

The thought of returning to the enemy's base with him, coupled with the fact that he had very little fighting spirit left, made Xiao Miao feel uneasy.

The snake-woman did not speak, but simply nodded and stepped aside.

Xiao Miao did not completely believe his words. He circulated his fighting spirit to his left hand, then sat cross-legged, took out a Qi-restoring pill from his storage ring, and swallowed it.

If the woman beside him made the slightest movement, Xiao Miao would immediately channel his fighting spirit into the tattoo on his left hand, waking Xiao from his slumber.

This is Xiao Miao's biggest trump card, and the source of his confidence in restoring his fighting spirit in front of the snake-woman.

The snake-woman standing to the side couldn't help but feel a little strange seeing Xiao Miao like this.

First, he was shocked that the other party actually dared to restore his fighting spirit in front of him. Second, he was shocked to see that the pills the other party used to restore his fighting spirit were all low-grade pills.

Watching Xiao Miao eat low-grade pills like candy, I couldn't help but wonder how a Dou Wang expert could end up in such a poor state.

Does this mean they can't even produce decent recovery pills? Or has the human race declined in recent years?

If conditions allowed, Xiao Miao wouldn't want to do it this way either, but the recovery pills among them were already scarce, and he had used them all up while traveling. To recover, he had no choice but to swallow low-grade pills. He was also absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to speed up his journey.

Even so, it still took three hours to recover 70% of his fighting spirit. The snake-woman beside him had already shown helplessness on her face, but when she thought that the strange fire on his body would be of great use to her, she could only suppress her irritation and anger and wait silently.

Having recovered 70% of his fighting spirit, Xiao Miao was absolutely confident that he could use a secret technique to escape thousands of miles away. Moreover, seeing the impatience that had already surfaced in the snake-woman waiting beside him, yet she had not made a move, Xiao Miao, keeping his promise, had no choice but to go with her to find out what was going on. If she wanted to make a move then, it would be too late.

By then, it wouldn't be considered that he broke his promise. Besides, he didn't think the other party would break their promise after he had recovered. Wouldn't that mean waiting for several hours for nothing and giving the enemy a free boost to their fighting spirit?

Since that's the case, let's go and see what they want to do with the strange fire on their bodies that makes the other party so patient.

As usual, please support me. Thanks to Fairy Brother for the monthly pass.

Chapter 26 Conversation

During their journey back, Xiao Miao and the woman beside him chatted from time to time and learned that her true identity was Medusa, the current queen of the Snake People tribe in the Tagor Desert.

Legend has it that Medusa, the queen of the snake people, is powerful and has a cold personality, but she is also incredibly beautiful. Looking at the gorgeous woman in front of him, Xiao Miao couldn't help but sigh at the veracity of the rumors.

After all, these are just rumors used by every household to coax their children. If you don't go to sleep, the snake people will come and swallow you!

"Every queen of my Snake-Human race merges with the soul of a sixth-tier magical beast. When her cultivation reaches the peak of the Dou Huang realm, she finds it difficult to break through to the Dou Zong realm and can only seek the help of rare treasures of heaven and earth. Strange Fire is one of them."

Xiao Miao frowned as he looked at Medusa beside him and asked in return:

"So you want me to use the different flames to help you break through to the Dou Zong realm?"

“The natural energy of the strange fire is violent and uncontrollable. Now that you have someone who controls a strange fire to help you, the success rate of the strange fire’s transformation can be increased. Moreover, apart from the one in your hand, I have never seen any other strange fires. I only have some information about them, but it is too vague and ethereal.”

Hearing Medusa's frankness, Xiao Miao understood somewhat and felt a slight admiration for her.

Back then, Xiao Miao also wanted to swallow it whole. If it weren't for Xiao's strong help, she would probably have been burned to ashes by the strange fire long ago. However, Medusa now doesn't need to devour the fire seed; she only needs to use the strange fire to transform.

As the two remained silent throughout the journey, they soon arrived at the spot where the leader of the eight snake-men had been seriously injured and lying on the ground.

At this moment, the eight leaders below had already recovered about 40-50% of their injuries, and they watched their queen return, with Xiao Miao following behind her.

Yan Ci stepped forward first, and seeing Xiao Miao following behind him, he smiled and said to Medusa:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on successfully capturing this human."

Seeing this simpleton so dazed, Xiao Miao was speechless. Didn't this idiot see that he had followed him here on his own? How did he become a spoils of war in his mouth?

"I really don't know how you, you idiot, became the leader of the snake people. Can't you tell I came here voluntarily?"

Xiao Miao wasn't going to tolerate him either, and immediately retorted.

When Yan Ci heard the man in front of him slander him like this, he was immediately furious, but after hearing his words, he couldn't make up his mind, so he turned to look at Medusa.

When Medusa noticed that other eyes were focused on her, curiosity flashed in them, as if she wanted to confirm whether what Zhen said was true.

Seeing this, he nodded, and then spoke again:

"Let's go back to the Holy City first."

On the way back to the Holy City with Medusa, the leaders of the eight snake people understood Xiao Miao's role, but they were still indignant. They thought that as long as they captured him, there was no need to negotiate so politely and offer him benefits after the deed was done.

But they forgot that if Medusa hadn't arrived in time, they would probably be buried in the wilderness long ago.

However, there are always some snake people who are simple-minded and have a fierce personality.

The snake-man leader, named Mobas, with his strong, muscular physique, immediately spoke:

"Your Majesty, let's capture this brat directly. It's not time for us to deal with him yet."

Completely disregarding the fact that the "kid" he was referring to was standing right beside him, Xiao Miao's eyes narrowed slightly beneath his mask upon hearing this, and he murmured to himself:

"Looks like I went too lightly."

Medusa, sitting on the throne, felt a flash of anger in her eyes when she heard Mobas speak like that. Since when did her decisions need to be questioned by others?

"Mobas, are you questioning my decision?"

"No, Your Majesty, I simply..."

Seeing that the Queen was about to get angry, Mobas quickly lowered his head, but he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"Since you have a different opinion, I'll give you that chance. As long as you capture that kid you mentioned, we'll do it your way. How about it?"

Looking at the Queen's cold face, Mobas couldn't help but want to slap himself twice.

To expect him to take down Xiao Miao alone is a recipe for disaster. They couldn't even defeat him when there were eight of them fighting him, and they were even seriously injured. How could he possibly capture Xiao Miao by himself now?

Seeing this, Xiao Miao couldn't help but speak up:

"It seems this snake-man leader is quite dissatisfied with me. What, you want free labor? Well, do as your queen says. If you can beat me, I'll help you for free."

Seeing Xiao Miao condense that shimmering yellow ice essence in his hand again, Mobas couldn't help but retreat, fearing that he would be blown up at such close range.

Seeing this, Medusa, who was in a high position, frowned repeatedly. Mobas was once considered brave, but now he was in such a state that he had completely lost his title as one of the eight leaders of the snake people.

Ignoring the comical scene before her, Medusa turned her cold gaze to the remaining seven people below, and spoke softly from her beautiful red lips:

"If anyone has any objections, we'll stick to Mobas's conditions from before. Whoever meets them will be dealt with according to his terms."

Upon hearing the Queen's words, the expressions of the other seven snake people changed, and their previously indignant expressions instantly fell silent.

Joking about letting them go up and fight one-on-one is like asking them to jump around in the toilet – they're all asking for trouble.

Seeing this, Xiao Miao spoke calmly.

"How cowardly."

Hearing this further fueling the fire, the group looked on with anger but dared not speak out. Medusa, sitting high above, sighed and then spoke:

"You may all leave now. I have important matters to discuss with him."

Upon hearing the Queen's words, the others, not wanting to stay with Xiao Miao, this jinx, quickly left the palace.

As Xiao Miao watched the others leave, he turned his gaze to Medusa in the main seat. No matter how many times he looked at her, he was still somewhat shocked by the woman's appearance.

Having not observed carefully before, now that the two are looking at each other, Medusa naturally cannot see anything through Xiao Miao's mask.

Medusa, however, was stunningly beautiful, with a natural allure in her eyes and brows, and her phoenix eyes, adorned with red makeup, were even more captivating.

However, due to her good looks since childhood, she was highly immune to appearances and quickly withdrew her gaze from it, turning instead to the teacup in her hand. Through the reflection of the tea, she saw the white fox mask on her face and couldn't help but ponder her experiences over the past few days.

Medusa, seeing the masked man withdraw his gaze from her face, couldn't help but feel a little curious. She knew her appearance best, and could be considered stunningly beautiful, but the masked man in front of her only glanced at her a few times before looking away.

For a moment, the two, who should have been discussing a deal, remained silent, their eyes deep in thought as they pondered their own ideas.
