Chapter 4 - Awakening

* In the throne Hall*

Medusa was sitting on her throne lost in thoughts recalling the previous events that happened during the ritual her eye brows tense clearly indicating her worries. She was worried and glad a little bit as her sister have escaped the death however she was worried as well about her sister situation and how would she be.

Recalling the event that still give her the headache . She still couldn't understand what had happened during the ritual first the appearance of Yao Yan second due to Dieba using forbidden technique.

Everything was going just fine she had decided to make her the queen which will satisfy the elders and the tribe as well instead of splitting the tribe in two factions it was better for her to sacrifice herself for the better future.

She chose to sacrifice herself because she can't see her sister's death but everything changed. She doesn't know where was dieba teleported or was she is danger or how is she and also cause of the human mercenaries. Although dieba may be dou haung but she was too soft and innocent she could be easily deceived by those humans.

Damn humans! Medusa shouted angrily "if u even touch a hair of her I will slaughter your kind"

What gives her the headache was also yao yan although she had seen him in palace but never talked to him.,but she remember the look in his eyes a pure arrogance and how he looked at her was same as she looked at humans like inferior creatures. Also the bloodline pressure he brings to her is something very different that was the also reason he had same position as her in the tribe no he had higher position then her, even elders doesn't dare to contradict his actions.

Then again he never interfere in any tribe matters always in close door cultivation. That's why his presence during the ritual and quite shocking. When he entered she was only thinking why is he here and the intimidation his bloodline brings even left the elders lost for words.

In the history of snake people tribe this has never happened before, a male born in the generation of Medusa. Every Medusa is born from an egg but this time not only two Medusa were born but also two eggs were produced instead of one but unlike a normal egg this egg contain dark black hard shell with scales on it giving off sinister aura all over it. And what came out was a male instead of female which was shocking.

However unlike Medusa and dieba fate he was born to rule after elders realize he contains much stronger and higher bloodline they decided to cultivate him as a future king. Although it was against the tribes rule and it has never happened before in snake people history they still decided not to kill him or it was they could not kill him.

Because what the egg hatched was a cocoon hard enough to resist any dou wang attacks that's why elders decided to wait and this wait continued for whole 100 years greedily absorbing all the fire dou qi in surrounding so much that all fire dou qi was almost vanished which was very shocking and strange considering that this was a desert.

Which has almost limitless fire dou qi for 100 years the temperature of the whole tribe had become normal and the heat which was unbearable has become somehow bearable .

During the years the cacoon has grown quite big and when it hatched what came out of it was a handsome young very different from any snake people male he had delicate smooth white skin, black long hair sharp sword like eyebrows a pointed nose and dark red crimson eyes like abyss if u look into them u might lose your soul his tail was jet black with the same scales as his egg had his tail had a different beauty and quite suits him.

And his cultivation had already reached at dou haung level so at this time elders can't do anything to him and unlike Medusa he doesn't care about tribe rules at all. He was only obsessed with cultivation and had a cold attitude he ignored everything and just wants to cultivate.

However elders had a deal with him if humans ever attacked on tribe or if they faced any battle he will come out to help them and in return they will give him resources and won't disturb his cultivation.

So when he came to the ritual everyone was shocked.

Medusa was worried about dieba that if they both teleported together in same location he might kill her because she knew he didn't care for anything other then cultivation but at the same time dieba might be safe from humans if Yao yan doesn't kills her.

Medusa lost in thoughts decided to take matters in her hand as every situation can potentially take her sister's life. So Medusa decided to issue a bounty for human mercenary group as humans they had more freedom then snake people because many strong people where always keeping eye on snake people movements so they can't move so freely however when it comes to mercenaries it was a different story so she decided to issue a bounty for dieba.

YaoYan was cultivating while dieba was asleep suddenly he feels a deep burning sensation on his back like something hot crawling all over his back which was really painful for him he gritted his teeth trying not to make noise his back was so hot that his black cloth started to burn this sensation continued for sometime and slowly Disappeared.

Yao yan finds himself gasping for air as he feels like he have stop breathing after some time he slowly adjust his condition and calm down a bit only to find his shirt has completely burned and he realized that on his back he had a huge tattoo of a snake no, one couldn't call it a snake but rather a creature that resembles a mixture of snake and dragon considering the scales he had.

YaoYan realize his soul power has increased significantly not to mention his mental had taken leap and bounds and increase in his perception he was now sure nothing can escape from his perception.

It was all due to the tattoo he had on his back which has mysteriously appeared on his back.

Maybe this was his golden finger but he was sure it has something to do with his bloodline which has become more pure and his his cultivation has become more profound he was sure he can handle a newly promoted dou zong powerhouse and was invincible below dou zong even if Medusa had come right now and fought with him

He can surely defeat her easily. right now he truly feels invincible . His eyes slowly fell on dieba sleeping face it seems like she was having a nightmare. Yao yan who was familiar with the plot knows she is having flashbacks right now. As he says in voice only he can hear.

"I will never let you die and give you the freedom you wish for" at this moment even he doesn't realize his back tattoo glow brightly in crimson color.
