As he opened his eyes, he saw the clearing around him transformed. The grass was now an ethereal shade of green, and the trees were shimmering with a golden light.
He heard the sound of footsteps and turned to see a beautiful woman approaching him. She had long, flowing hair and eyes that sparkled like diamonds.
"Who are you?" Li Xuan asked, stunned by her beauty.
"I am Mei Ling," she replied, a smile playing at the corners of her lips. "I have been sent to aid you in your quest to become a new god."
Li Xuan was taken aback. He had never heard of Mei Ling before, but he could feel the power emanating from her.
"Thank you for coming," he said, bowing respectfully.
Mei Ling smiled and motioned for him to stand. "I have much to teach you," she said, "and I will not rest until you have mastered the power of the dragon."
Over the next few days, Mei Ling trained Li Xuan in the ways of the dragon. She showed him how to control its power and channel it into his body, making him stronger and more agile than he had ever been before.
As he trained with Mei Ling, Li Xuan could feel his body changing. His muscles grew denser, and his reflexes became lightning-fast. He knew that he was becoming a true master of the dragon's power.
But Mei Ling was not the only woman to join his harem.
One day, Li Xuan was meditating in the clearing when he felt a gentle touch on his shoulder. He opened his eyes to see a stunningly beautiful woman standing beside him.
"I am Wei Ying," she said, her voice like a song. "I have come to help you on your journey."
Li Xuan was taken aback by her beauty and the kindness in her voice. He felt a powerful attraction to her and knew that she would be a valuable asset to his harem.
Over time, more women joined his harem, each one bringing unique skills and abilities to aid him in his quest. There was the fierce warrior Zhang Lei, the wise sorceress Mei Hua, and the cunning assassin Liu Fang.
Li Xuan watched in amazement as Mei Ling channeled the dragon's power. Her movements were fluid and precise, her eyes blazing with a fierce determination. He knew that he had much to learn from her if he was to achieve his goal of becoming a new god.
Mei Ling turned to him and spoke, her voice low and commanding. "You must harness the power of the dragon and make it your own. Only then will you be able to ascend to the heavens and claim your rightful place among the gods."
Li Xuan nodded, feeling a sense of awe and reverence for Mei Ling. He knew that she was the key to unlocking his true potential.
As he trained with Mei Ling, Li Xuan pushed his body to the limit. He sparred with her, his movements becoming more fluid and graceful with each passing day. He felt the dragon's power coursing through his veins, filling him with a sense of invincibility.
But with great power came great danger. One night, as Li Xuan meditated in the clearing, he heard a rustling in the bushes. He leapt to his feet, drawing his sword.
Suddenly, a figure leapt out of the darkness, her eyes blazing with fury. It was Mei Hua, the sorceress of his harem. She had been possessed by an evil spirit, and now she stood before him, ready to strike.
Li Xuan's heart raced as he faced Mei Hua, her eyes glowing with an otherworldly power. He knew that he had to stop her, but he also knew that he couldn't harm her.
"Mei Hua, it's me, Li Xuan!" he shouted, hoping to reach her somehow.
But Mei Hua was lost to the darkness, and she attacked with a ferocity that surprised Li Xuan. He dodged and parried her blows, trying to find an opening to subdue her.
Suddenly, a blast of energy erupted from Mei Hua's hands, sending Li Xuan flying backward. He crashed into a tree, gasping for breath.
