over the next few days the desert filled up with all sorts of different people mostly alchemists friends.
There were sects and families filing in all over for a piece of the cake. Hundreds and hundreds of cannon fodder cultivators and clan members. Yun Yun had to wear a hood so the misty cloud sect couldn't recognize her.
There was a person she didn't want to run into here from the sect. The pill king gu he. he had hired tons of people to come help him get the heavenly flame. As a tier 7 alchemist he had money and pills and favors to spend.
He also had a 1 sided crush on Yun Yun too bad she's mine now haha.
I had prepared for this event by asking carpet bro from aladins words if he would be kind enough to fly us over and let us watch on his back. He drove a hard bargain and I've got to pay for a deep cleansing carpet scrub but he accepted.
the others were rather curious about a sentient carpet but he was cool.
soon it was time for the big guns to roll out. tons of people practically stampeded towards the snake man kingdom. The higher ups all were either flying or taking magical beast pulled carpets.
our group just chilled on the rug with snacks and a floating umbrella. I even got a lap pillow from harribel as she fed me fruits. Such soft thighs mmmm.
basically we all looked like we were just taking a trip to the beach I even had on swim trunks man it was hot.
other people gave us quite a few odd looks one even tried to buy rug man. he was denied of course and pulled the classic 'do you know who I am?!' stunt only to be splattered by a Waterball from my lap pillow for talking to much.
Vicious. After that we were left alone to chat the whole trip in peace and munch on food.
Soon we arrived before a massive gated city filled with snake people ready for combat. The powerful warriors on the wall looked over the humans with bloodlust and eagerness.
Got to admit dunno who I should root for as humans kidnap a lot of the snake women for sexual needs as they are quite exotic and beautiful. The snake people kill quite a lot of humans and do the same thing.
honestly humans are mostly assholes not gunna lie. my votes up in the air.
Standing on the wall with the rest of the powerful snake people was a woman with long black hair and quite a beautiful body including her long purple snake tail.
Her eyes swept over all the invaders to her kingdom with a cruel look. 7 figures flew in the air before her each as strong as Yun Yun. But that's not what worried her.
Her eyes locked onto me happily swinging my feet back and forth off the carpet ignoring my immense fear of heights for a good vantage point.
Everyone else she could get a power lock on except me. What's my cultivation you ask? Not a fucking clue I passed off everything to the cultivation bodies. My body kind of just releases massive pressure all the time and that can be bad for people around me so I just have to supress everything or I'd end up like starrk was killing off everything around him just by walking around.
her face took on a grim look as she raised her hand and fired off a beam of green poisonous dou qi at me. I just slapped it away.
"That's quite rude. Attacking visitors without warning." My voice rang out.
Her face dropped even more.
"What are you here for?" Her voice rang out sounding like a beautiful melody.
"Heavenly flame. And I enjoy a good scuffle." I said with a smile.
The others in the air all eyed me seriously at this point.
I looked like a regular young master wearing flip flops and shorts sitting on a magical rug kicking my feet happily.
She could only frown bitterly as she hadn't expected someone like me to show up.
"Honestly you guy can have your little war over the flame and you can sneak off and try to absorb it but get burned to a crisp cause you don't even know how to use it properly and I can sit here and watch. No skin off my bones." I say with a smile.
The white haired man in the center of the flying group called out to me. "Sir you may have heard of me before my name is pill king gu he. I work with the misty cloud sect and it would be giving us face if you can let us have the heavenly flame. I'd be sure to pay back all the favors as I'm a tier 7 soon to be tier 8 alchemist." he said bowing towards me.
I just laughed. "Honestly I'd rather the snake people have it than you guys." I said to the confused man.
"Is there some kind of misunderstanding between us or have we offended you in some way?" he asked curiously.
"I just don't like you guys honestly."
This would be a first for everyone to hear someone say this just right out to someone working for the strongest sect in the empire.
Medusa also studied me curiously after what I'd said. She indeed had no idea how to use the flame and just planned to swallow it along with some other objects to push her cultivation forward and evolve into a human.
She examined me more closely. Before something peaked her interest. It was a couple of scents she could barely pick up in the wind. Her eyes widened in shock. before zooming off towards me.
I was curious about what was going on so I just let her do whatever. She appeared right in front of me and started smelling and touching me.
"You smell of dragons and the king serpent why?" she demanded.
king serpent? it took a minute for it to click. blinky the basalisk.
the venom does flow through me so I guess I'd smell like it.
"The king serpent venom flows through my veins and as for the dragon part well I am technically a dragon god soooo." my hand morphed into a scaled claw with dragonforce leaking out.
The snake people all bowed down as they felt the force.
I was confused as a pair or ruby lips connected to mine. "My king." said Medusa seductively.
"Well this is a twist. mind explaining what's going on?" I asked the woman.
apparently it was some snake tribe customs for the queen to marry the snake king and I guess I counted.
"Well bad news fellows looks like the snake people are my people now so." I clapped happily to the people on the ground.
I heard my brother quietly ask "Are you allowed to do that?"
"Apparently so." I replied.
Gu He looked absolutely furious.
"Your making a fool of me aren't you?" He shouted.
I held up my hand and pinched my fingers together. "Maybe a little bit."
The man lit up like a fireball and started hurling flame style attacks at me. apparently this was the signal for an attack.
However to me this was an oppurtunity. I raised my hand an the entire area felt a wave of pressure. the sand around the whole area moved and formed a giant wall trapping everyone inside.
"Well this is quite a pickle you've caused." I say putting out my flaming flip flops.
Medusa was standing protectively in front of me with her top slightly singed.
"These flip flops where quite expensive you know. cost me like 8 dollars man. I'll have to take something of equal value from you." I pondered for a moment before taking out a jade. This was a memory jade from a different cultivation world. People used it to store information to pass down from generation to generation. With a small gust i was already in from of the man grasping him by the throat. "Now don't think about alchemy okay?" his eyes glaze over and the crystal starts to turn a bright blue. Apparently he thought about alchemy and now the crystal is taking whatever knowledge he had on alchemy of course he will still know it.
After a few minutes the crystal flashes and turns a dark blue signifying completion.
"Well that should pay for my shoes." I swipe the spatial ring off his finger. "This should pay for Medusas new shirt." he tries to struggle but I just hurl him towards the ground and smash him into a sand dune with as loud *Boof* noise.
"Does anyone else care to test my patience?" I call out looking at the hundreds of people below. Before raising my hand and a massive tidal wave of sand flies into the air above them.
"Before you answer I'll let you know that I'm easily frightened and this sand is heavy so it might drop if you scare me." I said with an innocent tone as the looked up in horror before fleeing. One of the flying men quickly pulled gu he out of the sand before flying off carrying the man. So ends the war.
