141: Taste the exotic

Chapter 141: Taste the Flavors of Exotic Lands

Returning to the Snake-People Tribe’s temple, Medusa was taking care of the Small Beast.

Soul Cang walked over and heard Medusa calling the child a 'little rascal' repeatedly, which immediately darkened his expression.

"How can you be such a mother?" Soul Cang held the Small Beast in his arms.

Medusa replied, "You’re a big rascal, so the child we had is naturally a little rascal."

There was no way to respond to that… Soul Cang pretended not to hear.

After a serious discussion, the child’s name was finally decided: Feng.

However, a character was added in the middle to signify their generation.

Soul Cang borrowed a character from his previous life, naming the child Soul Feather Maple.

But Medusa still called the Small Beast 'little rascal' herself, confidently stating that it was a nickname.

That night, after the Small Beast had fallen asleep, the two sat on the roof of the great hall, shoulder to shoulder, gazing at the starry sky.

Soul Cang discussed his idea of integrating the three empires with Medusa.

"You want me to be the Alliance Leader?" Medusa was startled.

Soul Cang said, "Yes, I’ve given this a lot of thought. First, you are the person I trust the most. Second, in the Gama Empire, you are also the strongest, and you have experience leading the Snake-People Tribe, so leading the Cang Alliance should be no problem."

"Alright, I accept." Medusa's heart was already filled with sweetness the moment she heard the first sentence about being the person he trusted most.

Immediately, Medusa looked at Soul Cang and asked, "What about you? What are you going to do?"

When it came to the best candidate for Alliance Leader, it was undoubtedly Soul Cang.

Therefore, Medusa was curious what Soul Cang still needed to be busy with, as he was already a Dou Zun and not far from being a Dou Sheng.

With such strength, he was already a sufficiently powerful expert on the continent.

Soul Cang was silent for two seconds, then said, "Get stronger."

"Get stronger?" Medusa repeated.

"Mm." Soul Cang nodded slightly, looking at the starry sky, "This world isn't as peaceful as you think; it's filled with many dangers. For you, for our child, I still need to continue getting stronger."

Medusa didn't press him about what dangers he meant; she trusted that Soul Cang wouldn't harm her.

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the sky.

Soul Cang smiled faintly, then pulled Medusa back into the temple.

On the other side, that shooting star disappeared into the darkness halfway through its descent.

"Why could Soul Cang discover me?" The shooting star transformed into a figure, which was Void Swallowing Flame.

On one hand, it was Soul Emperor's commission; on the other hand, it was his own curiosity.

Void Swallowing Flame continued to observe Soul Cang; for example, just now, he had been hidden in the night sky.

However, he noticed that Soul Cang kept staring in his direction.

With countless stars twinkling, Void Swallowing Flame, out of helplessness, could only use his power to create the illusion of a flickering void.

But Soul Cang's gaze seemed to be fixated, refusing to move.

Void Swallowing Flame had no choice but to use the form of a shooting star to conceal himself.

Yet, he couldn't understand why Soul Cang could discover him.

If it weren't for his concerns about the Dou Di's cave dwelling, Void Swallowing Flame would truly want to capture Soul Cang and study him thoroughly.

…

A few days passed in a flash.

Deep in the Tagor Desert, a wind suddenly began to blow, and countless clouds in the sky gathered towards one spot, even all the Dou Qi was absorbed.

At the Snake-People Tribe’s temple, Medusa saw this scene with some worry.

"It's fine, it's one of us. I'll go over there." Soul Cang said with a smile, and his figure flashed.

At the center of that storm, a phantom figure irritably knocked a pill into a bottle.

Then his gaze fell upon the body that was slowly floating up.

"Yao Chen, I've revived first." Yao Tianhuo's cheerful voice rang out.

The body's eyes suddenly opened, and the surrounding Dou Qi, as if swallowed by a whale, surged frantically into Yao Tianhuo's body.

Yao Tianhuo's strength soared, and the powerful fluctuations sent sand and gravel on the ground flying into the distance.

From afar, yellow sand filled the sky, as if a sandstorm was about to form.

The Small Beast clung tightly to the medicine cauldron with all four limbs, spewing flames from its nostrils, and looked towards Yao Tianhuo.

"Congratulations, Skyfire Venerable." At this moment, a voice carrying a faint smile sounded.

The next second, the violent scene in this world gradually returned to calm.

The Small Beast, with its four limbs treading on the void, bounced and leaped towards Soul Cang.

Halfway there, it suddenly stopped, turned back to hug all the bottles filled with pills, and then ran towards Soul Cang.

"You worked hard." Soul Cang glanced at it and accepted the porcelain bottles.

The Small Beast, praised, became even more joyful and scampered around wildly.

Yao Chen's old face darkened when he saw this scene, thinking, 'What kind of master, what kind of flame!'

"The feeling of having a body is truly different." Yao Tianhuo descended, examining himself with a very satisfied expression.

Soul Cang smiled, "How much of your strength has recovered?"

"I am now a five-star Dou Zun, just a tiny bit short of my peak state." Yao Tianhuo replied, "It might be related to my own skeleton."

For this body refinement, the pills were excellent, and the essence blood was also from an eighth-tier magical beast.

Yao Tianhuo felt that he hadn't fully recovered, entirely due to the influence of his own skeleton.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

But he didn't regret it; his own body, in its original flavor, was better.

Upon recovering his flesh and blood, Yao Tianhuo's first order of business was to eat!

In a restaurant in the imperial capital, Yao Tianhuo ordered every dish on the menu, then began to eat.

After a hearty meal with plenty of wine, Yao Tianhuo felt as if life was perfect at that moment.

He sighed, "Eating, indeed, is the second happiest thing in life."

Soul Cang curiously asked, "Only second? What's the first then?"

Yao Tianhuo glanced at him: "Aren't you just asking the obvious, you fellow?"

Soul Cang was stunned.

Yao Tianhuo said, "Think about what you were doing every time you sealed the two of us."

"Oh…" Soul Cang realized, "Don't you understand 'see no evil'?"

Yao Tianhuo picked his teeth and said, "I understood that centuries ago, you don't need to teach me."

As he spoke, he looked at Soul Cang and said, "Do you want to go experience the first happiest thing?"

"Take it easy, don't kill anyone." Soul Cang waved his hand, warning him.

This old fellow was also disrespectful of his age; he had just revived and wasn't thinking of doing anything proper.

However, Soul Cang could understand.

After all, Yao Tianhuo's state was no different from being released from prison.

In fact, Yao Tianhuo's time was much longer than being in prison.

Yao Tianhuo chuckled, "Are you afraid of Medusa?"

"Get lost, get lost." Soul Cang glared, "That's love, not fear."

Yao Tianhuo left, with a burst of laughter, leaving a message that he would start working tomorrow, and if Soul Cang had any instructions, he should think them over tonight.

That night, Soul Cang spent it with Ya Fei, not returning to the Snake-People Tribe.

The next day at noon, at the dining table, Soul Cang suggested that Yao Tianhuo take a trip to the three surrounding empires.

Because Hai Bodong and the others had been gone for some time, and there had been no news, which was a bit abnormal.

Yao Tianhuo agreed, and immediately after the meal, he set off without stopping.

"So eager?" Soul Cang watched Yao Tianhuo's retreating figure shrink into a small dot, feeling a bit surprised.

At this moment, Yao Chen said faintly, "Eager? I think he wants to taste the flavors of exotic lands."

Soul Cang was stunned, 'Holy crap, it seems what Yao Chen said actually makes some sense.'

Wait, that's not right. In his impression, Skyfire Venerable wasn't this kind of person. How could he have changed so much after being revived by him?

Does proximity to cinnabar make one red, and proximity to ink make one black?

Shaking his head, Soul Cang didn't accept this explanation. 'Come on, I'm a proper person, how could I have influenced him?'

No, it must be Skyfire Venerable's own nature.

In fact, the real situation was not far from what Soul Cang imagined.

In the original work, when he was with Xiao Yan, the situation was so dangerous, surrounded by powerful enemies, who would dare to relax?

But Soul Cang was different; currently, he had no enemies, and if action was truly needed, Yao Tianhuo knew it wouldn't even be his turn.

So, he thought, since he had finally been reborn, shouldn't he enjoy life properly?
