Chapter 350: Strengthening Cai Lin

In the Battle Qi Plane, within an unknown cave, a figure enveloped in flames of a light blue hue was revealed. The figure, entirely draped in fiery red, had her clothes completely burned away, leaving her perfectly exposed in this natural cavern.

Not far from her, a young man who appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen stood, his gaze fixed on the alluring form before him. After a moment, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Cai Lin is truly breathtaking, devoid of humanity."

The young man was named Mu Chen. It had been a full ten days since he arrived in this place. During these ten days, he had silently guarded this spot, never leaving even a step.

After departing from the Douluo God Realm, Mu Chen and Cai Lin were transported to an unknown location. Mu Chen had simply found a nearby cave and gifted Cai Lin the Blue Lotus Earth Fire.

Strange Fire was a treasure that fighters dreamed of. Any type of Strange Fire could incite a storm of bloodshed in the world of fighters. Naturally, Cai Lin did not refuse Mu Chen's generous gift. Thus, the scene before him unfolded.

After about three to four hours, the light blue flames surrounding Cai Lin began to converge inward toward her body. Before long, all the flames were absorbed into Cai Lin.

Cai Lin opened her eyes, just in time to meet Mu Chen's gaze.

Mu Chen congratulated her, "Congratulations, Cai Lin!"

"Thank you."

Cai Lin smiled knowingly. A mountain breeze swept through, sending a chill across her. It was then that she realized she was sitting cross-legged before Mu Chen completely naked. Every detail of her body was laid bare before his eyes, without a single flaw hidden.

Cai Lin's face flushed. She did not scream in embarrassment, for she was the Medusa Queen of the Snake-People Tribe. She was not angry either, as this was not the first time Mu Chen had seen her naked form.

With a thought, Cai Lin's delicate hand touched her Storage Ring, retrieving a piece of clothing to put on. Once she was dressed, Mu Chen reached out his hand, but Cai Lin did not take it.

Mu Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Still not willing to accept me?"

Cai Lin remained silent. Her feelings for Mu Chen were quite special. They had only known each other for a short time, but after witnessing Mu Chen being harmed in the Douluo God Realm, her heart was filled with anger. They had already crossed the line once, indulging in forbidden fruit. However, now Cai Lin's true form as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, combined with the evolution from the Strange Fire, had restored her to her original state.

Cai Lin's feelings for Mu Chen were indeed unique. She did not love him, yet she cared for him. It was a feeling akin to that of a lover.

"Are you not coming with me to explore the continent?" Mu Chen asked as he walked toward the cave entrance.

"No, I don't know how long I've been away from here. The Snake-People Tribe cannot do without me; I need to go back and check on things," Cai Lin replied.

"Alright. Take this." Mu Chen flicked his fingers, and four red beads appeared in his hand.

"This is... Fire Lotus Seeds!" Cai Lin exclaimed in shock. She recalled that when she obtained the Blue Lotus Earth Fire, she had also received eleven Fire Lotus Seeds.

"Yes." Mu Chen nodded, smiling, "You have refined the Blue Lotus Earth Fire, but your fire control ability is still lacking. Once you absorb the energy from these four Fire Lotus Seeds, your fire control ability will surely reach a much higher level."

"Okay." Cai Lin's eyes sparkled, and she did not refuse Mu Chen's kindness. She stored the four Fire Lotus Seeds in her Storage Ring and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you."

"Thank? How do you plan to thank me?" Mu Chen teased.

"..." Cai Lin.

"I don't want just verbal thanks. If you're going to thank me, make it something substantial." Mu Chen mischievously suggested.

"Substantial?" Cai Lin looked at Mu Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, substantial." Mu Chen nodded, tilting his face closer to Cai Lin, pointing at his cheek.

"..." Cai Lin's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed. Before Mu Chen could react, she actually leaned in and gave him a light peck.

"..." Mu Chen.

Now it was Mu Chen's turn to be shocked and bewildered.

Mu Chen had only been joking with Cai Lin, playing around. Recently, for some reason, Cai Lin had been keeping her distance from him. He never truly expected her to kiss him, yet she did.

After a moment of surprise, Mu Chen reached out, wanting to take their relationship a step further. However, his hand grasped nothing but air. Cai Lin seemed to be able to predict Mu Chen's next move, evading his grasp with a slight shift of her foot.

Buzz

When Mu Chen looked at Cai Lin again, the space around her rippled, and she transformed into a vibrant rainbow, dashing off in a random direction.

Cai Lin was gone!

Cai Lin had indeed left, and her voice echoed softly in the surrounding space.

"Mu Chen, until we meet again. If you have time, you are welcome to visit my Snake-People Tribe."

Mu Chen stood rooted to the spot, watching Cai Lin depart. It was not until her figure disappeared from the horizon that he slowly murmured, "I will."

Now, although Cai Lin's Dou Qi (Martial Energy) level was only at the Dou Zong (Martial Ancestor) realm, all her Dou Qi had been transformed into God Power in the Douluo God Realm, and she possessed the Strange Fire, the Blue Lotus Earth Fire. Defensively, at the Dou Zong (Martial Ancestor) level, no one would be a match for Cai Lin. Even fighters at the Dou Zun level would find it hard to contend with her.

The Snake-People Tribe was located in a remote area of the Dou Qi (Martial Energy) continent. With Cai Lin's current abilities, she could even unify the Northwestern continent if she wished.

As Mu Chen thought of Cai Lin, another figure emerged in his mind. That figure was Bibi Dong.

Mu Chen had not forgotten that Bibi Dong was brought to this realm by him. The last time he left the Dou Qi (Martial Energy) continent, Bibi Dong had appeared in the Tagore Desert. He wondered how she was faring now.

If Mu Chen were to meet Bibi Dong again, would he have to call her mother-in-law?

Thinking of Bibi Dong, Mu Chen also recalled Xiao Yu, and Ya Fei. Oh, and Nalan Yanran. Upon returning to the Douluo continent, he wondered if Nalan Yanran had grown up.

"First, let's head to Qingshan Town!"

Mu Chen had not forgotten that he still had a task to complete. That was to go to Qingshan Town and check in at the Ten Thousand Medicines Shop to meet the Little Medical Sage.

Buzz

With a thought, Mu Chen left behind a long trail of flight. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared tens of thousands of miles away. His terrifying speed was unmatched in the Battle Qi Plane!
