Chapter 142: Bringing Xiao Yi Xian Back to the Tagor Desert
Wu Tian casually tossed out the sleeping Little Amethyst Winged Lion King. The sudden appearance of this little beast startled Xiao Yi Xian. Before she could react, Wu Tian had already wrapped an arm around her slender waist and carried her onto the lion's back. Feeling his firm hands around her waist, Xiao Yi Xian's delicate face flushed a soft shade of pink. Wu Tian, seated behind her, shook his head helplessly before silently commanding the little beast to take off at full speed.
Xiao Yi Xian's petite body tensed slightly as she shifted uneasily.
"Sit tight. Its speed is much faster than your little Lan," Wu Tian whispered into her ear.
The moment his breath brushed against her ear, Xiao Yi Xian's body stiffened completely. A wave of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her ears and slender neck turned a deep shade of red, as if she were a ripe peach about to burst with juice. Her heartbeat pounded uncontrollably, her mind in complete disarray.
Seeing that she had finally stopped squirming, Wu Tian commanded the beast to speed up even more. In an instant, a streak of purple light shot through the sky, and they vanished into the horizon.
Meanwhile, back in Qing Shan Town, the herb gathering team and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group slowly regained consciousness. Realizing Wu Tian and Xiao Yi Xian were gone, Mu She's sharp eyes quickly spotted a powerful Xuan rank technique lying near the cliff's edge Lion's Roar Art.
As Wu Tian and Xiao Yi Xian soared through the sky, something strange began to happen. Whether it was due to the strong air currents or because its master was simply too heavy, the little Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly started shaking mid flight.
And with it so did Wu Tian and Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian was fortunate since Wu Tian held her tightly. Wu Tian, however, was "unlucky." Due to the turbulence, his hands moved erratically up and down, shifting with the jolts.
Xiao Yi Xian's breath hitched, and a soft, unintentional gasp escaped her lips.
Wu Tian frowned. "Xiao Zi, what's going on? Can't you fly more steadily?"
The little beast: …
You're asking ME what's going on? You don't know? Is it MY speed, or YOUR hands?!
"Deadly Tyrant… this speed is just fine," Xiao Yi Xian murmured, her face blushing even more.
Wu Tian sighed helplessly. "Fine, then keep going like this."
The little beast: Being a mount is truly a tragic fate…
Wu Tian glanced at Xiao Yi Xian's side profile, his mind recalling what had just happened.
Of course, he wasn't thinking about those unmentionable moments just now no, what weighed on his mind was the danger she had just narrowly escaped.
Had he not arrived in time at the cliff, Xiao Yi Xian might have consumed that deadly poison to trigger her Woeful Poison Body. If that had happened, she would have completely lost control, transforming into a terrifying Poison Master one even she herself would come to despise.
Her Woeful Poison Body was terrifyingly potent. As long as she consumed powerful poisons, her strength would skyrocket. Just as Wu Tian needed Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yi Xian's source of power came from poisons.
The problem? Heavenly Flames were rare and difficult to obtain, whereas deadly poisons were far too easy to come by.
With her Seven Colored Poison Manual, she could concoct lethal poisons effortlessly. And once she started, she wouldn't be able to stop.
She had given him the map to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
So in return, Wu Tian would never allow her to become a mindless Poison Master. If she was going to wield poison, she would do so without becoming a monster.
…And this definitely wasn't because he was interested in Xiao Yi Xian's body.
Really, there wasn't much to be interested in right now. She was barely more developed than Gu Xun'er…
Under Wu Tian's command, the little Amethyst Winged Lion King flew far faster than Wu Tian had when he traveled alone.
In just one day, they arrived at the Tagor Desert.
Once inside the desert, Wu Tian considered visiting an old acquaintance. However, with Xiao Yi Xian by his side, he decided to put that thought aside for now.
But as soon as they returned to the royal city, something annoying happened.
Because the little Amethyst Winged Lion King was a Tier 3 magical beast and was flying straight toward the city at full speed it immediately triggered an emergency defense response.
The two most stunning snake women of the clan, Hua She'er and Yue Mei, led the defensive formation, readying their bows and spears.
Seeing this, Wu Tian had no choice but to descend first, landing near the city walls and pointing at the little beast. "It's my mount."
The moment Hua She'er and Yue Mei saw that it was Wu Tian, their expressions changed completely.
Without hesitation, they and the other snakefolk dropped to their knees, paying respects to their Guardian Spirit Elder.
But when the little beast landed with Xiao Yi Xian
Wu Tian watched in utter disbelief as Hua She'er and Yue Mei exchanged a glance…
And in their serpentine eyes… he saw an unmistakable glint of betrayal.
Their Guardian Spirit Elder had brought back two new "mounts"…
And one of them was an exceedingly beautiful woman!
Wu Tian immediately understood their expressions.
They think I'm two timing…
But he didn't bother explaining.
Even his Queen Medusa hadn't punished him for "betrayal" why should he care what anyone else thought?
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian had been staring at Wu Tian the entire time, her expression shifting between shock and realization.
At last
She understood his true identity.
Deadly Tyrant… it all made sense now.
He wasn't just some mysterious expert.
He was the Guardian Elder of the Snake People Tribe.
He was the strongest being in the Jia Ma Empire.
He was Medusa's man.
Despite feeling a small pang of disappointment, Xiao Yi Xian didn't react negatively.
Sure, she was reluctant to share him…
But thinking about it rationally Wu Tian was too extraordinary.
Even the legendary Medusa had fallen for him.
She was just a small town healer.
As long as she could stay by his side, she was content.
Wu Tian caught the slight trace of sadness in her eyes and let out a soft chuckle.
Ruffling her hair, he said, "What are you thinking about? You've been flying all day without bathing you reek. Go wash up, I've got something for you to do afterward."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's face instantly turned crimson.
Wash up? And then… do something?
D Do what exactly?!
What else could they do?!
"Hmph! Deadly Tyrant, you say I stink, but you haven't bathed either! You're even smellier than me!"
Wu Tian nodded seriously. "You're right. In that case… let's bathe together."
"Wha ?!" Xiao Yi Xian's face exploded in a deep red. Her eyes widened in pure shock.
"D Deadly Tyrant… y you're serious?!"
