BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 46: Yue Mei's Apprehension



"Heh, I didn't expect to encounter a Dou King-level expert so soon after entering the desert. You must be one of the leaders of the snake people tribe, right?" Gu He smiled as he lightly flapped the wings of Dou Qi on his back, taking a step forward. He looked at a seductive snake woman in the distance with a grin.

The snake woman was enchanting, with a voluptuous figure that easily drew attention. Her beautiful, diamond-shaped eyes shimmered with a hint of seductive allure.

"Who are you? Why have you come to the depths of our tribe in the middle of the night? Don't you know that this area is forbidden to humans?" Yue Mei's charming smile vanished, replaced by a cold, stern expression. Clearly, she had no intention of making small talk in the face of this sudden and terrifying group.

"We wish to see the Queen!" Gu He stated directly.

"See Her Majesty, the Queen?" Yue Mei's beautiful eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc as she sneered, "Our snake tribe has been at odds with humans for years. What is there to discuss?" "If you're wise, you'll leave immediately. Otherwise, when the eight leaders of our snake tribe gather, the number of strong fighters in the Jia Ma Empire will significantly dwindle," Yue Mei threatened.

"Looks like there's nothing to talk about," Gu He said, clearly not intimidated by her threat. As he finished speaking, two Dou Kings beside him began to encircle Yue Mei.

Realizing the unfavorable situation, Yue Mei chose to retreat.

...

Back at the oasis, the snake people of the Mei Snake Tribe, cowed by the Lion King's presence, dared not approach the oasis, instead sending out messages. A sixth-rank magical beast, even their strongest leader, Yue Mei, would likely be unable to stop it. Moreover, Yue Mei had already left.

The remaining snake people could only keep a wary eye on the Lion King and Gu Fei's group, their eyes filled with caution. These snake people, who usually slaughtered humans on sight, now dared not attack.

After Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin finished bathing and changed into clean clothes, Gu Fei decided to move on.

The Little Fairy Doctor looked gentle and soft, while Qing Lin, with her cold green eyes, appeared delicate and charming. Both women, dressed in the less conservative dresses of the desert, were striking in their beauty.

The desert was scorching hot. Although protected by Dou Qi, the Little Fairy Doctor found it troublesome and followed Qing Lin's example, braiding her long purple hair and letting it drape over her shoulder. The sight of her graceful appearance momentarily stunned Gu Fei. The Little Fairy Doctor, wearing an open dress that revealed her fair arms, blushed shyly. Noticing Gu Fei's gaze, her ears turned red, and she quickly looked away.

Little Fairy Doctor feels shy. Emotion value +100

The three of them mounted the Amethyst Winged Lion King and continued deeper into the desert.

As night fell, a massive fortress of a tribe slowly appeared on the distant horizon. The fortress was ablaze with lights. However, the flickering lights betrayed a sense of unrest.

The towering walls, dozens of meters high, were densely packed with arrow towers. The tips of the arrows, tinged with a faint purple, gleamed coldly in the moonlight, aimed precisely and chillingly at every corner. Anyone struck by these arrows would be riddled with holes.

But strangely, a massive path had been forcefully carved through the fortress's tight defenses. Even more bizarrely, all the arrow towers near this path had been smashed to pieces by some unknown, powerful force.

Gu Fei, seeing the stronghold breached from a distance, was thoughtful.

"Could it be that Gu He and his group came ahead of us and forcibly breached the Mei Snake Tribe's fortress?"

Gu Fei mused to himself as he gazed at the fortress ahead.

However, he recalled that in the original story, Gu He and his group hadn't set out yet at this point. But from the signs of destruction, it could only be Gu He's group. No one else had such strength, and anyone with such power wouldn't suddenly venture deep into the desert and precisely locate the Mei Snake Tribe.

So, it had to be Gu He, who, for some special reason, had acted ahead of schedule.

But Gu Fei soon dismissed his overthinking. Perhaps his crossing into this world had caused some butterfly effects. It was normal for some events to deviate from their original course, and he didn't need to dwell on it.

Gu Fei looked ahead at the fortress and decided he didn't need to be so cautious. After all, this was the territory of the snake people.

"Lion King, charge straight through. Don't stop," Gu Fei ordered.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King paused for a moment, then continued at full speed, heading directly towards the Mei Snake Tribe.

Within the snake people tribe, the guards initially noticed nothing amiss. It wasn't until they saw the massive beast approaching from afar that they realized something was wrong.

"Stop it!" someone shouted angrily.

Immediately, cold arrows and numerous poisoned spears flew out from the walls.

The Lion King snorted disdainfully. Did these snake people underestimate it? Did they think they could stop it with a few small, poisonous attacks?

With a flap of its wings, the Lion King summoned a powerful gale. The wind blew away the poisoned spears, which fell harmlessly to the ground. The Lion King, unfazed, continued flying, ignoring the attacks.

Gu Fei, not being bloodthirsty, refrained from killing anyone despite his forceful entry into the tribe's territory. He merely had the Lion King fly over the fortress without causing any

harm.

After flying over the Mei Snake Tribe, Gu Fei continued on his journey. Along the way, he encountered several groups of snake people who tried to block their path, but none posed any

real threat.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King flew high in the sky, out of reach of most ground-based attacks.

...

One day later, in the Holy City of Medusa.

Inside a spacious and luxurious hall, Yue Mei, wearily leaned against a chair, her lazy gaze occasionally sweeping across the empty purple crystal throne on the high platform. She couldn't help but shake her head in exasperation.

Rubbing her smooth forehead with a slender hand, a joyful expression suddenly appeared on the woman's delicate face as she looked up at the dark shadow that shot into the hall like

lightning.

"You're finally here..."

The woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she saw the dark figure enter the hall.

"Yue Mei, what happened?"

"Why did you issue three emergency orders? Are these humans really that strong?"

The figure entering the hall was clearly a male snake person, exuding a faintly fierce aura.

Glancing at the male snake person of equal status in the tribe, Yue Mei sighed softly and lazily replied, "Very strong... I ran into them last night and had to flee. And it's not just this group!"

"Oh? Do you know their exact strength?" Hearing this, the male snake person's eyes narrowed as he walked into the hall and sat down in front of the wide table, his voice tinged with a coldness that was hard to conceal.

"A Dou Emperor, three Dou Kings, and four Dou Spirits," Yue Mei replied, pursing her red

lips.

As she spoke again, her posture straightened, and the lazy expression on her face turned serious. "The most important thing is the other group!"
