Chapter 51: Will We Have the Chance to Meet Again?
The four Dou Emperors with combined attack skills were formidable, and if it were an ordinary Dou Ancestor, they would have to think twice before engaging. However, Gu Fei was no ordinary Dou Ancestor.
Even though the four Dou Emperors could significantly enhance their combat power with their combined skills, they posed no threat to Gu Fei.
In the sky, the four old snake women who appeared cautiously observed their unusually young opponent, not daring to underestimate him.
"Form the array!"
Suddenly, one of the old women screeched, and the four of them exchanged glances before taking a step forward.
If Gu Fei's strength wasn't as overwhelming, they wouldn't need to go all out. However, the moment they faced Gu Fei, they felt a chill down their spines.
Their instincts warned them that Gu Fei was extremely dangerous, prompting them to use their most powerful techniques right from the start.
A cold, green light spread across the sky, causing Gu He and his group to show fear in their eyes. The snake-people, out of fear, quickly retreated. Gu Fei merely glanced at the spectacle.
The green light abruptly shot towards Gu Fei. It moved incredibly fast, seemingly about to pierce through Gu Fei's heart in an instant.

He merely raised his right hand, and the green light abruptly stopped before it could reach his palm.

With a gentle flick of his wrist, the green light reversed direction, transforming into several fine lines that shot towards the four old snake women.
The four old women, panic-stricken, tried to dodge, but they were still wounded by the attack, spitting out a mouthful of dark blood. The four Dou Emperors, naturally, were no match for Gu Fei and were easily defeated by him.

However, in the next moment, Gu Fei suddenly furrowed his brows, causing Yun Yun to look at him with concern. He felt a slight pain in his sleeve, faint but noticeable. The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python might be playful, but it wouldn't mess with him like this.
Perhaps because Gu Fei had attacked the four elders of the Snake-People Tribe, Queen Medusa's emotions surged with extreme anger. This emotion helped temporarily suppress the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, allowing Medusa to maintain control of the body.
Gu Fei understood that the earlier incident likely involved Queen Medusa's meddling.
After that initial terrifying strike, Gu Fei didn't follow up with another attack. He simply stood there, coldly watching them. "Block me again, and you'll die!"
Gu He and his group, still reeling from the shock, couldn't hide their astonishment.
Gu Fei was simply too monstrous.
Yun Yun, having seen Gu Fei's heaven-defying strength many times, was not as surprised as the others.
She merely thought to herself that this guy had gotten stronger yet again…
At this moment, Gu He, from afar, had a flicker of realization. Seeing Yun Yun and Gu Fei's apparent familiarity, he seemed to recall something.
Mumbling to himself, he said, "Yun Yun clearly knows this person. Could it be that the pill from before was given to her by this young man? But how could such a young person possibly refine a perfect pill like that!"

He was unwilling to believe it, but the situation seemed to suggest it was true.
In truth, Gu He had always secretly admired Yun Yun and had dreamed of being her hero. Knowing that his strength was inferior to hers, he focused on his alchemy skills.
Seeing someone else rescue her instead of himself, he couldn't help but feel bitter.
But how could he, a mere mortal, compare to a monstrous genius like Gu Fei?
Gu He felt a deep sense of melancholy.
Meanwhile, Yun Yun hesitated for a long time, lightly biting her lip before finally speaking, her voice filled with hesitation: "Will we have the chance to meet again?"
"What I mean is, where is your family located? Would I… have the chance to visit?"
Yun Yun spoke to Gu Fei in a very reserved manner.

Even though she knew the answer Gu Fei would give, she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to hear his response.
She held a sliver of hope in her heart.

"You have too many things to keep you busy. I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to travel far next time. If we are fated, we will meet again."
Gu Fei looked at the cold woman in front of him, her eyes trembling slightly, her delicate face showing a calm expression, though a subtle expectation lingered in her clear eyes.
He answered her somewhat cruelly.
However, Gu Fei left a bit of room in his words.
His gentle yet rejecting response left Yun Yun feeling a fleeting sense of desolation.

In her life, she stayed in the Jia Ma Empire, she had achieved considerable success at a young age, becoming the leader of a major sect as a woman and reaching the realm of a Dou Emperor.
Though not exactly second to none and above all others, she was highly respected, admired by countless disciples, and revered for her name "Yun Yun."
Looking back, she had enjoyed a life of glory.
But now, she realized that those achievements were not advantages—they were perhaps the very things that held her back.
If… she weren't the sect leader, but just an ordinary person, would she be able to follow her heart without hesitation?
Would she, at this moment, be able to follow Gu Fei and leave without looking back?
Yun Yun's emotions were complex as she gazed deeply at Gu Fei, her beautiful eyes brewing with unnamed feelings.

The two of them then parted ways.
…
"Little one, you need to behave, or I'll have to punish you."
After bidding Yun Yun farewell, Gu Fei went to a secluded place and took out the small snake, cool as jade, from his sleeve.
He placed the little snake in his palm, lifting it to eye level, staring at it intently.
Sensing Gu Fei's gaze, the Seven-Colored Little Snake also raised its tiny head high, its light purple eyes filled with intelligence.
Its mouth slightly opened, a cold forked tongue flicking out, and its body leaned toward Gu Fei's face, as if trying to lick his cheek.
It looked completely innocent and silly.
At this moment, it was clear that the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was in control of the body.
However, Gu Fei knew that the suppressed soul of Queen Medusa could still perceive everything happening outside.
But none of this concerned Gu Fei- his strength was enough that he didn't fear whatever tricks Queen Medusa might try to pull.
Afterward, Gu Fei returned to where Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were.
Thanks to the Lion King's protection, even with the snake-people constantly rushing to defend their sacred city, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin remained very safe, with no snake people daring to offend them.
The Sixth-Rank flying magical beast and its mysterious master had become the most feared existence in the hearts of the snake people.
When Gu Fei returned, Xiao Yi Xian noticed his good mood. She looked at him and asked with a smile, "It looks like you've obtained the Heavenly Flame?"
Gu Fei nodded, and Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up with joy, a radiant smile on her face.
Xiao Yi Xian's happiness increases, Emotion Points +100
The Amethyst Winged Lion King then carried the three of them away from the holy city.
Gu Fei planned to find a quiet place to refine and absorb the Green Lotus Core Flame.
