Celestial 'War God' Return

The Emerald Scale Python looked at Tang Xiao, hesitating to hand over the two old men from the Shen Clan. However, the snake eventually gave in and nodded in agreement, as he had saved it from the poison.

Not wanting to waste the opportunity, Tang Xiao took out a few more pills and placed them in front of the Emerald Scale Python, which stared at him in confusion. "These pills are mostly basic pills and beast pills, but they will be useful for improving some aspects of yourself. After you swallow them, you will experience a significant change in yourself, and you will become the true overlord of the forest; not even the Xuanluo Beast can resist you."

Situ Lingxi looked at those pills, and she was really shocked after recognizing their grade. She looked at Tang Xiao’s back, wondering where he got so many peak-grade pills. ’Even in this realm, such pills are difficult to find, yet he has so many of them.’

Duanmu Jingjing also experienced a moment of shock after recognizing the grade of those pills, but her expression turned calm again the next second. She didn’t bother asking Tang Xiao about the origins of those pills, as everyone has their own secrets, and she wasn’t a nosy woman.

The Emerald Scale Python bowed its head in thanks to Tang Xiao, and its tail swept the pills towards it and swallowed them one by one.

Tang Xiao simply smiled and looked at the two unconscious old men. He considered sending them into the ark, but Situ Lingxi and Dongfang Jingjing were with them. He inwardly sighed and sent them to the ark, which shocked both women.

Tang Xiao didn’t bother to explain to Situ Lingxi and Dongfang Jingjing, and he asked Xiao Ai to do something to the two old men.

Dongfang Jingjing had no intention of asking Tang Xiao, but Situ Lingxi was different from her, and she was truly curious about the disappearance of the two old men. "Where did you send them away?"

"I hid them somewhere, and I’ll bring them back after I do something to them." Situ Lingxi knew that Tang Xiao was giving her inconsistent answers, but she realized that she couldn’t force him to reveal his secrets to her. "Since our business here is finished, we should return to camp now, and we will leave early in the morning."

"Have you found the exit from this forest?"

Tang Xiao shook his head at Duanmu Jingjing. "I remember our previous routes, but I don’t know if we can find the exit. We arrived at that place because we entered a teleportation formation, so we have to look for it to get back to the original route."

’Hey, Xiao’er! Can you use your void element to get us out of this forest?’ Tantai Lingyan sent a voice transmission.

Tang Xiao glared at Tantai Lingyan. ’Master, the void element is my trump card; there’s no way I’m going to reveal it in front of them, right? Duanmu Jingjing is indeed a good woman, but I don’t trust Situ Lingxi and the people from the Shao Clan, let alone Song Jinghao.’

’Well, that’s true.’ Tantai Lingyan cast a sidelong glance at Situ Lingxi, who was looking at Tang Xiao curiously. "Let’s go back."

"Let’s go." Duanmu Jingjing, Tantai Lingyan, and Mu Qingge immediately walked out of the cave.

Tang Xiao looked at Situ Lingxi, who was focused on the Emerald Scale Python. "Are you thinking of forming a contract with the snake?"

"No," Situ Lingxi shook her head. "This snake is one of the three overlords of this forest, and I’m too weak to be its master, so it won’t agree to form a contract with me."

Tang Xiao looked at the Emerald Scale Python, which was busy swallowing the pills. "This snake is quite powerful, so you should increase your strength if you want to become its master. With the influence and support of the Situ Clan, I believe you will reach the Peak Tyrant Level or even the Saint Level. When you reach that stage, you can come to this forest again and form a contract with it."

"The Saint Level, huh?" Situ Lingxi turned to Tang Xiao. "I’m aware of my limitations, and I’m not confident that I can reach that stage. Even Uncle Taixu and my aunt haven’t reached that stage yet, so I don’t dare to dream too high."

"Do you know that your mindset is too narrow?" Tang Xiao patted Situ Lingxi’s shoulder. "Whether ordinary people or cultivators, we will never be able to achieve the best in life if we don’t have lofty dreams. The essence of being a cultivator is to defy the heavens and defy fate, and we will only be ordinary cultivators if we don’t have the determination and conviction to do so. If you want to become a powerful cultivator and surpass everyone, you have to dream big and strive hard. After all, dreams without effort are useless, right?"

"You’re right." Situ Lingxi looked at Tang Xiao. "What is your biggest dream in life?"

"Become the strongest cultivator in the universe."

"Huh?" Situ Lingxi was shocked. "Do you really want to become the strongest cultivator in the universe? Aren’t your dreams too lofty?"

Tang Xiao didn’t argue with Situ Lingxi. "As I said before, we must dream big to achieve success, but success won’t come without hard work. For most people, the dream of becoming the strongest cultivator in the universe is too lofty, but I believe I will achieve it in the future, and I just have to work much harder than other cultivators to do so."

"Why do you want to become the strongest cultivator in the universe?"

"To protect myself and my loved ones." Tang Xiao raised his right hand and clenched his fist. "In the past, my parents were betrayed by those closest to them, and they killed them in front of my eyes."

"Is... is that true?" Situ Lingxi’s voice trembled; she didn’t expect that Tang Xiao had experienced such a cruel incident in the past.

"On the day of that incident, I was still five years old, and I witnessed their cruel and depraved actions with my own eyes." Tang Xiao recounted the events of that night many years ago to Situ Lingxi, which greatly shocked her. "After I became a cultivator, I killed most of those people, and a few of them turned crazy. I swore that my big sister and I would never experience such an incident again, and I could only fulfill my vow if I worked harder than other cultivators. I’m still weak now, and many cultivators are far beyond my reach, but I believe I will surpass them in the future."

Situ Lingxi looked at Tang Xiao in daze. If she were in his shoes, she would definitely go crazy after witnessing such incidents. "I didn’t expect you to have such a past."

"Everything is in the past, and I have achieved my revenge." Tang Xiao paused. "However, a powerful cultivator who supports those people is still alive, and he is too strong for me at my current level. That’s why I left my home realm and went to this realm, and I will return there after my cultivation reaches his level. At that time, I will kill him with my own hands, and my revenge will be complete."

Situ Lingxi could hear the determination and conviction in Tang Xiao’s voice. "Do you really think I can reach the Saint Level?"

"Yes," Tang Xiao nodded. "Even though I’ve only known you for a few days, I can tell that you are a talented woman; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to reach the Middle Tyrant Level at your current age."

"Oh? You can detect my cultivation?" Situ Lingxi asked with a look of surprise.

Tang Xiao nodded and answered truthfully, "I knew your cultivation level from the start, so I decided to avoid you. Yet, you’re here now, and we eventually became a team."

"Hehe," Situ Lingxi giggled. "Does that mean you’re no longer afraid of me?"

"How could I not be afraid of you?" Tang Xiao asked back with a bitter smile. "Your cultivation is much higher than mine; you are also the young miss of the prominent Situ Clan, and your aunt is the queen of the Taixu Kingdom. As for me, I have no backer in this realm, and I have to rely on myself."

Situ Lingxi fell silent in thought. "What do you think if I become your backer?"

"Huh?" Tang Xiao’s eyes blinked repeatedly. "Our relationship isn’t that close, and—"

Situ Lingxi suddenly tiptoed, hugged Tang Xiao, and kissed his lips.

’What the hell is with this woman? Why did she suddenly kiss me? Ah! Forget it! Since she threw herself at me, I just had to respond, right?’ Situ Lingxi trembled slightly when Tang Xiao hugged her waist, and he began to return the kiss. She didn’t back down, closing her eyes and letting him kiss her.

Situ Lingxi was shocked when Tang Xiao pried her lips open, and his tongue quickly invaded her mouth, searching for hers. Unlike Earthlings, people in the Canglan Realm didn’t know about French Kiss, and his actions confused her.

However, Situ Lingxi wasn’t an innocent woman, and she was quite smart. Even though she had never French kissed before, she quickly adapted to the situation and followed Tang Xiao’s lead.

Situ Lingxi stuck out her tongue and hooked it with Tang Xiao’s, with their lips moving in rhythm while enjoying their wet kiss. ’I’ve never kissed like this before, but it feels so good.’

Situ Lingxi wasn’t a cheap or easy woman; she was a proud woman from a prominent clan. However, her mindset was too simple and modest, and her recent experience of peeping at Tang Xiao and Mu Qingge having sex somewhat broadened her perspective.

They kissed for some time before Tang Xiao separated their lips, and Situ Lingxi’s face was already completely red. "Our kiss was really unusual, but I liked it."
