As Xiao Han was lecturing, the atmosphere on the other side grew increasingly tense.
Gu He insisted that the Heterogeneous Fla must be in dusa's possession, while dusa truly didn't have it. Neither side was willing to yield.
"Since Your Majesty refuses to part with it, this Gu has no choice but to take it by force," Gu He said in a deep voice. "Please forgive my offense!"
dusa's beautiful eyes turned cold. "You want to fight?"
"Enough talk! If you want to fight, then let's fight!" A burly, lion-like man beside Gu He laughed wildly and was the first to shoot towards the Snake People. The others also assud battle stances, except for the black-robed person who seed to hesitate, casting a deep look at dusa before following their companions.
In the next second, everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, and the man leading the charge was thrown back like a kite with its string cut.
He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Old Lion!"
"Yan Lion!"
Gu He's group was shocked by this turn of events, breaking out in cold sweat and abruptly stopping to check on the man's condition.
It's worth noting that Yan Lion was also a Dou Emperor powerhouse, and dusa was only at the peak of Dou Emperor. It should have been impossible for her to repel Yan Lion with a single strike, and moreover, they hadn't seen dusa make any movent.
A trace of confusion appeared on dusa's alluring face. She hadn't even made a move yet, so why did this person fly back on his own?
At this mont, a hoarse, aged voice suddenly sounded in dusa's ear. The voice was soft yet clear, as if soone was whispering right next to her ear.
"Co to your palace for a mont."
dusa's expression froze for an instant. She would never forget this voice, even if she were turned to ashes. It belonged to the person who had pinned her down and beaten her a few years ago, all while pretending to act like "I'm doing this for your own good, why won't you listen?"
"He" had really co?!
"Yue i, stop them. I have matters to attend to and need to leave for a while," dusa swept her gaze over her subordinates, her voice sowhat gritted.
Yue i was initially stunned, then respectfully responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Just as dusa was about to leave, a black shadow instantly appeared in front of her. A cyan longsword, carrying a fierce wind, slashed towards dusa.
"How dare you!" Seeing the black-robed person suddenly attack, dusa's subordinates all changed their expressions drastically. They flapped their energy wings and rapidly rushed towards the black-robed person.
"You shouldn't interfere recklessly." Two shadows flashed over, and two people from Gu He's side intercepted the Snake People midway.
"Get out of the way!" dusa's beautiful face turned cold. She slightly moved to the side, and intense red energy erged, deflecting the black-robed person's sword.
The black-robed person remained silent, their attacks becoming increasingly fierce.
The opponent was also a Dou Emperor, and although their level wasn't as high as dusa's, they had superior combat techniques. dusa wasn't in the mood for battle, yet the two seed evenly matched.
As they entangled, dusa grew sowhat irritated: "Human, I'll say it one more ti. Get out of the way!"
The black-robed person's movents paused slightly. dusa seized the opportunity, instantly condensing a massive purple snake that charged towards the black-robed person with sky-shattering montum.
Faced with the enormous, ferocious snake, the black-robed person didn't move at all. They lightly waved their sleeve, and suddenly, a huge cyan tornado appeared floating before them.
"Boom—"
The giant snake and the tornado violently collided. A massive shockwave centered on them suddenly rippled outwards! Imdiately, yellow sand filled the air, and the huge air currents made everyone around instinctively step back.
As the sand gradually dispersed, it revealed the two figures in the center. By now, the black-robed person's hood had been blown off by the gale, revealing their true appearance.
With a noble phoenix hairpin and delicate features, Gu Xun'er, hiding in the shadows, recognized the person at a glance.
"It's actually Senior Yun Yun?" Gu Xun'er was surprised for a mont. "Is there... so grudge or entanglent between her and dusa?"
Xiao Han remained composed: "I don't know."
She wasn't an all-knowing sage; how could she possibly know everything?
dusa raised her slender hand, gently brushing away the swirling yellow sand and smoke. She looked at the silent Yun Yun with a lazy expression, the smile on her lips seeming sowhat bored. "Oh? So it's the Cloud Mist Sect's Sect Master. This Queen wasn't aware that we had any grudges."
Hearing this, Yun Yun's hand gripping the sword tightened repeatedly, her eyes becoming even more profound. She seed to want to say sothing but only moved her lips, unable to utter a word.
Seeing Yun Yun's deanor, Xiao Han felt that these two must know each other and have so history. But dusa's attitude suggested that... they weren't familiar?
"If you continue to obstruct , don't bla this Queen for being ruthless," dusa's eyes narrowed slightly, her voice perated with killing intent.
As soon as she finished speaking, dusa cast another cold smile at everyone present and disappeared from the spot.
Yun Yun stared at the place where dusa had vanished for a long ti before finally letting out an almost imperceptible sigh. She withdrew her thoughts and turned her attention to the Snake People present.
"Uh... Yun Yun, do you know Queen dusa?" Seeing her expression wasn't good, Gu He couldn't help but curiously ask.
Yun Yun's long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, her voice sowhat cold: "In this Gamma Empire, who doesn't know Queen dusa?"
Gu He awkwardly fell silent. That wasn't what he ant, but seeing Yun Yun's appearance as if suppressing anger, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
Having known Yun Yun for so many years, this was the first ti he had seen her like this. In the past, no matter what happened, she was always so calm and unperturbed, as if she never got angry.

dusa's usual residence was in a lake located in the deepest part of the palace. In the center of the lake was a small island, surrounded by rippling water, with no bridge leading to it.
As soon as dusa arrived at her small island residence, she saw two young won sitting against a tree at the edge of the island.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, scanning the two. She could sense a familiar aura from the young woman dressed entirely in black robes but without a hood. However, she didn't connect this person with the black-robed figure in her mory. After all, the person in her mory could easily defeat her, a Dou Emperor, while the young woman before her looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Having sensed dusa's aura early on, Xiao Han lazily raised her eyelids and glanced at her: "You're here?"
dusa's face turned cold: "Who are you to speak to this Queen in such a manner?"
Xiao Han was slightly stunned, then rembered that she wasn't wearing her hood now.
"Forgotten who I am?"
This ti, she used the elderly voice she often employed.
dusa's pupils suddenly constricted: "It's you?!"
How is this possible??
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old Dou Venerate??
What kind of joke is this??
Xiao Han stood up, ignoring the turmoil in the Queen's heart. She dusted off her clothes and slightly raised her chin: "What? Don't rember?"
dusa's facial expression almost cracked. She let out a cold laugh, gritting her teeth: "I wouldn't forget you even if you turned to ashes......"
Gu Xun'er's confused gaze flitted between the two. She could sense that dusa seed to want nothing more than to kill her senior sister right then and there.
Do these two know each other?
"It's nothing much, we fought once a few years ago," Xiao Han said calmly.
Thinking of Xiao Han's terrifying strength and combining it with dusa's reaction, Gu Xun'er suddenly understood.
She's a queen after all, at least leave her so face!
dusa didn't want to dwell on this matter with Xiao Han; it was simply embarrassing. She folded her arms across her chest, her voice returning to its original lazy nobility, tinged with the unique allure of the Snake People: "Are you here to deliver the Heterogeneous Fla?"
Xiao Han denied: "My Junior Sister has absorbed the Heterogeneous Fla."
Hearing this, Queen dusa turned her gaze to the breathtakingly beautiful young woman behind Xiao Han, who resembled a green lotus: "Junior Sister? Then what are you here for?"
"The Heterogeneous Fla isn't suitable for you," Xiao Han said flatly. "Snake People are cold-natured."
dusa coldly curled her lips: "But that's the only thing that can make this Queen evolve. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of success, this Queen must try!"
Xiao Han shook her head and took out a jade box from her system space. Then, she carefully lifted the lid. An oppressive, extrely dense cold qi seeped out from within. In an instant, a layer of frost covered the nearby pool surface.
The jade box contained a shallow layer of black liquid, which looked rather unimpressive.
dusa didn't know what this was, but she could sense the extrely terrifying cold power it contained.
"What is this?" dusa's eyes suddenly beca fiery. She could feel that the effect of this thing on her would far surpass that of the Heterogeneous Fla!
Xiao Han pondered for a mont, then said: "This is Frigid Yin Dragon Saliva, an extrely cold substance. Its rarity is comparable to a Heterogeneous Fla."
As if!
The Frigid Yin Dragon Saliva was far more precious than a Heterogeneous Fla. She had only discovered this by chance in the deepest part of the Extre North. According to the system, this extrely cold substance could only be produced in the Extre North, ford by gathering all the yin qi under heaven. It took over ten thousand years to condense just this small amount.
However, compared to the Heterogeneous Fla, the Frigid Yin Dragon Saliva was more suitable for dusa.
She pushed it forward: "Take it."
dusa didn't accept it, her suspicious gaze scanning Xiao Han: "Such a precious thing, and you're just giving it to ?"
It's well known that humans are never up to any good. She couldn't believe this person would be so kind-hearted.
Xiao Han knew of her suspicion but only said flatly: "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't need to go to such lengths."
"It's just better to fulfill a promise once made."
dusa was choked by Xiao Han's blunt words, but she had to admit that what Xiao Han said was true. With Xiao Han's strength, if she wanted to kill her, she indeed wouldn't need to go to such trouble.
After a while, she finally curled her lips and reached out to take the jade box: "It seems you humans do have so good things."
Xiao Han chose to ignore this statent from dusa, which she couldn't tell was praise or criticism. She looked up at the sky, then turned to dusa and said: "If you're ready, you can absorb it and break through now."
dusa's snake eyes narrowed slightly: "Can you guarantee success?"
Xiao Han sneered: "What? You weren't afraid of a one in ten thousand chance, but now you're scared?"
"Scared?" A dangerous curve appeared on dusa's lips. "This Queen has never been scared."
Xiao Han said calmly: "Don't worry, I have my ways. I can purify your bloodline during your breakthrough, making your evolution smoother."
dusa narrowed her eyes, staring directly at Xiao Han, while Xiao Han maintained her calm deanor.
After a long while, dusa finally smiled slowly: "Hmph, I'll trust you this once."
