"Oh my! Invincible in the whole world!"
"Doesn't that mean, just some rewards from Lord Xu Ran would be enough for our Snake-People Tribe to rise up?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Our vision can't be so shortsighted anymore. If our Snake-People Tribe really gain the favor of Lord Xu Ran, then in the future we could probably compete with those most powerful Magical Beast families on the entire Continent. In this world, although we lack a deep foundation, if Lord Xu Ran helps us, with such a top expert around, who would dare to bully our Snake-People Tribe?"
"In the future, we could even follow Lord Xu Ran to conquer the world. We might as well leave this desert; I've wanted to see the Human Clan's territories for a long time. The conditions here are too harsh."
"Lord Xu Ran must have cultivated to the peak and then grew tired of power, wandering around to experience life. I've heard that in the end, those strong individuals all go to the most ordinary places to experience life, what's it called... The Great Dao is Simple."
Several Elders had almost begun planning their beautiful lives.
However, they understood that with their Snake-People Tribe's current strength, even serving as Lord Xu Ran's servants would probably not be up to par.
And to gain Lord Xu Ran's favor, the only option was...
"The Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe implores Her Majesty to consider the tribe and try to draw Lord Xu Ran in... at all costs, even if it is..." At this moment, the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe was kneeling on the ground, earnestly pleading.
By now, they were no longer thinking just for their own personal development, but also for the future of their species.
Such an opportunity, presented to any power in the world, would not be missed.
"Yes. If we miss this opportunity, how could we face our ancestors after a hundred years?"
...
Queen Medusa was somewhat embarrassed by the numerous Elders.
Having her own personal matters discussed openly indeed made her feel awkward.
However, this was indeed a good thing for the Snake-People Tribe.
If she truly married Xu Ran, in the future she would have many opportunities to help the Snake-People Tribe. Not only for the tribe, but for herself as well, she was utterly defenseless against such a domineering and powerful man like Xu Ran.
She had always liked men who were powerful and unparalleled.
In her heart, only those men were worthy of her.
If they couldn't even defeat her, how could they conquer her?
In fact, when she first heard about Xu Ran, the Seventh Rank Alchemist, she had taken notice of him, but after learning about his indulgent lifestyle, she extinguished that thought.
But now, she felt that even if Xu Ran was a womanizer, it didn't matter. His "Cultivation Level" had reached the pinnacle, he would live a long life, so what if he was a bit unrestrained? Moreover, she now found this version of Xu Ran very real, free and uninhibited, which not only made him stand out but also made her like him even more.
In summary, when strength is lacking, being a womanizer amounts to: a lustful scoundrel, shameless, and an irresponsible man.
But when powerful; charming and suave, a talent matched with a beautiful lady, free and uninhibited, and even exuding a sort of devilishly charming beauty.
That's the difference.
In the end, it all comes down to whether the "content" is rich enough. And Xu Ran is a man of rich "content."
"I've already made my decision."
"If Lord Xu Ran really wants it, I will not refuse."
"No matter what, I will draw closer to Lord Xu Ran. I will make the Snake-People Tribe prosper under my hands," Queen Medusa said solemnly.
As the Queen Medusa, it was her undeniable responsibility to strengthen the Snake-People Tribe.
Soon, the news of Queen Medusa becoming a Dou Zong Expert swiftly spread throughout the entire Snake-People Tribe, thanks to the deliberate sharing by a few Elders. In no time, the whole tribe was celebrating universally, their lands filled with voices of congratulations and cheers.
Today, every member of the Snake-People Tribe could rest, and they would also receive many of the tribe's accumulated goods from over the years.
The Elders felt that these originally decent resources no longer caught their eye. In the future, their tribe would obtain even more and better resources.
On top of a towering hillside, Xu Ran looked down at the Snake-People Tribe's settlement in the oasis below, his heart filled with countless emotions.
For those people, even the slightest favor could make them tearfully grateful.
"I will lead our people towards prosperity," he vowed.
Amid the fragrant breeze, Queen Medusa arrived in a long red dress, her approach as graceful as her attire. The scent carried by the wind was so delightful that Xu Ran couldn't help but take in several deep breaths.
"Rest assured, I will help you. With me here, no one dares to bully you," Xu Ran promised.
He certainly didn't believe that, in this world, there was anyone who would truly dare to oppose him.
Not even those Dou Di Families could come close.
"Hmm."
Queen Medusa nodded her head lightly and obediently lay in Xu Ran's embrace.
"Xu Ran, why are you so strong? You must be more than just a Dou Saint, right?" Queen Medusa asked, furrowing her brows slightly with curiosity. What was Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level"? Could a Dou Saint really be that powerful?
"I should be the only Dou Di on the Fighting Spirit Continent at present," Xu Ran said with a smile, "Do you believe that?"
"I believe!"
Queen Medusa stated decisively.
At the same time, her heart surged with boundless waves.
A Dou Di!
Was she now together with a Dou Di?
It was almost like a dream. Queen Medusa's reverence for a Dou Di Expert was akin to how a cultivator with the Douzhe Cultivation Level revered a Dou Zong Expert.
Dou Di!
That was the realm of legends!
And now, the man beside her was a genuine Dou Di.
"Do you really believe it? Aren't you afraid I'm deceiving you?" Xu Ran asked as he played with Medusa's long hair, twirling it around his hand. He enjoyed fiddling with a girl's hair and then gently combing it for them.
"What's there to fear? You are so powerful, how could you possibly deceive me? Moreover, I believe you wouldn't lie to me," Queen Medusa said, showing self-awareness. Xu Ran was already so strong that it made no sense for him to lie about it. Even if Xu Ran was merely a Dou Saint Expert, he was still an unreachable presence in her eyes.
"Haha. Such a good girl, here's your reward." Xu Ran held Queen Medusa's head and planted a firm kiss on her cheek, eliciting a series of delicate giggles.
"Actually, I'm not from this world; I come from another. In that world, I was a high and mighty god who could decide the fate of all beings. After growing bored there, I came here. Your world is somewhat stronger than ours, and this space is connected to the real Great Thousand World. So, I came to experience it in advance, while mastering Alchemy, to prepare for my future journey to a vaster world," Xu Ran found himself sharing these things with Queen Medusa for some reason.
