123: Chapter 123

The Dragon Clan began to cheer excitedly, feeling that victory was right before their eyes.

Tian Kui immediately poured a bucket of cold water on their enthusiasm: "Everyone, don't celebrate too early. The upcoming stages will only be more difficult than before, and there are many uncertain factors waiting for us."

"Even if we reach the Tianyuan Secret Realm, we still need to accurately locate the entrance to the Demon Emperors Tomb, which is no longer in the same position it was ten thousand years ago."

"I'm not trying to scare everyone. Those who want to give up can leave now. The Dragon Emperor didn't set any restrictions back then, allowing everyone to participate."

"At this point, only the truly strong can continue to move forward."

She glanced at Ao Wuming: "Is there anyone from the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon clan who wants to withdraw?"

Ao Wuming shook his head decisively: "None. Whoever dares to act like a coward should expect to be expelled from the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon clan."

Both the Demon Race and the Ghost Race indicated that there were no deserters among them.

Xiao Bai proposed a bold idea: "Why must we follow the map? Can't we just fly over from an altitude of ten thousand meters?"

"Everyone's strength has reached the Level 5 Demon King level or above; any one of us could dominate a region if we went out. Flying at ten thousand meters altitude is not a difficult task."

As soon as these words were spoken, they received quite a bit of response, with many feeling it made a lot of sense.

Tian Kui said disdainfully: "White Snake Alliance Leader, you are so smart; why didn't you just fly over from the air when we were in the Bewildering Forest?"

"Uh... that's because that area had gravity suppression. As soon as you entered the airspace above the Bewildering Forest, you would fall straight down."

"Well, there you go. Since that's the case, what is there to argue about?"

Xiao Bai immediately explained: "I meant, can we bypass these dangerous areas and air-drop directly into Tianyuan?"

"No!"

Tian Kui pointed to the lit-up markers on the map, as well as some gray areas marked with question marks.

She explained the mystery behind it: "According to the map's interpretation, all the gray areas along the way need to be lit up. Otherwise, even if you try to bypass them using opportunistic methods, you won't be able to find the Demon Emperors Tomb."

Gui Jianchou was the only one among them who had been to the Demon Emperors Tomb. He studied it carefully for a while and agreed with Tian Kui's statement.

"Everyone, the Blood Moon Demon Emperor is a Level 9 Peak Demon Emperor. He is the only Demon Emperor powerhouse on the Xuan Tian Continent and also the highest combat power in the Lower Realm."

"His strength is unquestionable. Back then, the Demonic Lord, the Dragon Emperor, and the Ghost Emperor joined forces to enter, but they couldn't gain any advantage."

"They have been in seclusion to Cultivate for over ten thousand years, and their injuries have yet to fully recover to this day."

With the acknowledgement of this person who had personal experience, the previous voices of doubt were decisively eliminated.

"Everyone, rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning. You must not rest separately."

Previously, the three major races had been fighting on their own. It wasn't until they experienced the Bewildering Forest, which caused them heavy losses, that they were willing to listen to Tian Kui's advice and tacitly accept her as the commander of the allied forces.

The cunning and treacherous Ji An did not express any position; he kept watching to see what Gui Jianchou intended.

Currently, the Demon Race had the weakest strength, and since the Ghost Race had nothing to say, he naturally dared not act rashly and could only obediently cooperate with this operation.

Xiao Bai secretly glanced at Feng Yun and saw her leaving the temporary camp alone.

During the meeting just now, Feng Yun's face was gloomy, and she didn't say a word. She seemed to have something on her mind as she slowly walked toward the cliff.

Xiao Bai decisively followed her: "Damn, Yuner couldn't be thinking of doing something desperate after hearing that there are so many difficulties ahead, right?"

"I have to hurry up and follow her. If anything happens to her, I'll cry my eyes out."

Feng Yun walked to the edge of the ten-thousand-foot cliff and looked up at the star-studded night sky.

The always arrogant and proud Queen suddenly sighed with emotion: "Compared to the vast stars, we are truly too insignificant."

"Even if we possess great magical power and can destroy a hill in an instant, so what? We still cannot hold our destiny in our own hands."

Xiao Bai suddenly felt that something was very wrong: "Damn, damn, damn, she's really going to jump down. She's already started making her will."

"Yuner, please don't jump!"

Xiao Bai quickly ran forward, wanting to stop Feng Yun, but he accidentally tripped over a vine.

He bumped Feng Yun straight off the cliff. Well, now she didn't even need to jump.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Xiao Bai immediately jumped off the cliff to chase after Feng Yun's falling body. He didn't know what was going on, but at this moment, Feng Yun felt that her magical power had completely disappeared.

She seemed to be just an ordinary Snake Person, without the strength of a Level 8 Demon King at all.

Xiao Bai transformed into a giant python to add weight to himself, attempting to catch up with the rapidly falling Feng Yun.

He used his long snake tail to decisively wrap around Feng Yun's slender waist, while his mouth bit tightly onto a crooked tree on the edge of the cliff.

Ding-dong!

The snake tail was like a rubber band, coiling around Feng Yun and bouncing a few times in the air; it was very elastic and resilient.

"Yuner, are you okay!" Xiao Bai said with a face full of worry.

Feng Yun instantly recovered her magical power and hovered above the cliff, glaring fiercely at Xiao Bai.

"Are you out of your mind? I was just coming out to get some fresh air."

"And you, you bumped me off a ten-thousand-foot cliff. In that situation, my mind went blank, and I couldn't use my magical power for a moment."

Embarrassment appeared all over Xiao Bai's face.

"I'm sorry, when I saw you like that, I really thought you were going to jump off the cliff to commit suicide. That's how it's always acted out in scripts."

"There's a cave over there. How about we go in and rest for a while?"

Feng Yun flew in first and sat on a rock to calm her mood.

Xiao Bai then dashed into the cave. In the dead of night, with a man and a woman alone, this small cave looked like a trysting room no matter how you looked at it.

Chapter 163 Queen: Kiss me quickly!

"Yuner, don't you think this cave is a bit hot?"

Feng Yun seemed to understand Xiao Bai's tricks very well and kept a safe distance of two or three meters from him the whole time.

As soon as Xiao Bai approached, she would take the initiative to dodge.

"Call me Queen. I don't want to repeat it a second time."

"Also, put away the lust in your mind. I don't buy that act of yours."

Xiao Bai spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "We're so familiar with each other, and yet you still want me to call you Queen? It makes me look like a simp."

Feng Yun retorted: "Isn't it?"

Xiao Bai kept spouting sweet nothings and flirtatious nonsense on the side, but Feng Yun covered her ears, not wanting to hear it at all.

When she was chatting with Tian Kui earlier, she had already figured out Xiao Bai's playbook completely.

It was nothing more than those few moves: slowly getting close, saying some cheesy romantic lines, and creating a little bit of suggestive romance.

Performing some fancy operations and finding the right moment to push them down directly—this method might be very effective against those female demons who are new to the world.

But the one in front of him was a cold and aloof Queen, and she had a strategist like Tian Kui constantly reminding her.

The reason why Xiao Bai was able to take advantage of her before was simply because when she was going through the Heavenly Fire Tribulation, she was seriously injured and completely unconscious, which allowed him to seize the opportunity.

"Are you done talking?"

"I'm going back to the camp to rest."

This cave seemed to be prepared specifically for Xiao Bai. How could he miss such a good opportunity? Moreover, having had many combat experiences in caves before, he instantly felt like he was back on his home turf.

He decisively stepped forward, grabbed Feng Yun's jade hand, and pointed to the sky: "Look, there are shooting stars."

This move was indeed very effective. Feng Yun quickly looked up and did see a few shooting stars, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

After the shooting stars streaked across the sky and disappeared, Feng Yun turned her head and accidentally kissed Xiao Bai on the face.

"Wow, Yuner! You're for real."

Feng Yun slowly raised her hand, wanting to slap Xiao Bai in the face.

It was quickly grabbed by Xiao Bai, who placed Feng Yun's slender jade hand on his chest.

As if possessed by the King of Cringe, he began to spout cheesy romantic lines: "It hits my body, but it hurts your heart."

Combined with some greasy dialogue from TV dramas: "Once there was a sincere love placed before me..."

Having reached this point, Feng Yun was a little moved. Along the way, Xiao Bai had been at her beck and call, and she had received quite a bit of care from him.

Even a hard stone should slowly melt and soften, right?

Feng Yun, who had absolutely no experience in love, gradually began to have her defenses broken under Xiao Bai's fierce bombardment.

Xiao Bai secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Yeah, I'm about to get her. The Queen has the strength of a Level 8 Demon King, yet she didn't resist. That means she agrees."

He lecherously licked the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself: "In a while, I'll strip the Queen naked and burrow into her hole without any scruples."

"In such a secluded cave, no one will come to disturb us."

The always cold and aloof Queen suddenly became gentle: "Does Brother Bai really want to have Yuner?"

"That's for sure. The romantic words just now weren't a joke; they were all my most genuine feelings."

Look, the Queen's heart has softened, and her tone of voice is very different. Xiao Bai firmly believed that this time, she wouldn't be able to escape.

If I can't even handle this, what's the use of this iron rod?

Feng Yun asked again: "Are you sure?"

Xiao Bai nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice: "Sure and certain. It's getting late, let's hurry. We have to go to work tomorrow."

Feng Yun slowly took off her terrifying golden mask, revealing the face of an old lady over eighty years old.

With a slight twitch, the wrinkles on her face crushed a few mosquitoes to death.

The bright moonlight shone at the entrance of the cave, and Feng Yun's cursed old face could be seen clearly.

"Quick, kiss me."

Xiao Bai hurriedly shook his head to show his inner resistance. He had thought it was nothing before, thinking that it would be the same with the lights off.

But when he was actually there, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Especially when Feng Yun's mouth twitched and the wrinkles on her face kept convulsing; it was even more terrifying than the Black Mountain Old Demon.

"Don't you want to have me? Now I will fulfill your wish. Kiss me quickly."
