BTTH I can strengthen all things

"Buzz!"

The powerful Dou Qi collided, causing the four Snake People elders to be knocked back several steps.

"I've already held back."

Yun Tianming had a kind expression, and his robes fluttered without wind.

"Impossible!"

"Didn't they just say he had just advanced to Dou Ancestor?"

"How could he easily destroy our Fusion Qi Method?"

The four Snake People elders showed expressions of horror. With the Fusion Qi Method, even facing a 3 or 4-Star Dou Ancestors, they would still have a fighting chance. They had originally planned to give Yun Tianming a show of strength, but instead, they were forcibly subdued by his 1-Star Dou Ancestor!

"I have already warned the elders not to overstep."

Cai Lin spoke slowly, seeming somewhat irritated by these old-timers who acted superior.

"Your Majesty, we are doing this for your own good!"

"You are the first Medusa in the Snake People Tribe to awaken the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline in thousands of years. Such nobility—are you truly willing to marry a human?"

The four Snake People elders earnestly persuaded her.

"I can't defeat him."

Cai Lin's words were succinct.

Despite her 6-Star Dou Ancestor strength, she acknowledged that she was no match for Yun Tianming, who could kill a 7-Star Dou Ancestor. Of course, this was also what she admired about Yun Tianming—great strength was the best charm!

"Your Majesty! Although this person is very strong, if the eight leaders of our tribe join forces, along with a few of us, it would be sufficient."

"To ensure the purity of the Snake People Tribe's bloodline, you should marry within your own kind."

The four Snake People elders still persisted in their persuasion.

"Too weak."

"I don't like weak men."

Cai Lin coldly rejected them.

"This…"

The four Snake People elders were immediately left speechless.

"Elders, reaching the Dou Ancestor realm at my age should be enough to prove my exceptional talent."

"Moreover, I am also a Seventh Grade Alchemist, so I can ensure that my offspring will receive the best resources for cultivation."

Yun Tianming presented his own advantages.

"Producing offspring is a top priority for our Snake People Tribe! The Medusa bloodline is exceptionally powerful, so while the baby is still in the womb, it requires countless miraculous medicines to nourish it. This way, the strength of the baby at birth will be even more formidable, and its potential will be extremely terrifying!"

"According to the tribe's Secret Technique, the nourishment of Medusa babies is divided into three grades—upper, middle, and lower. Babies nurtured with these three grades will have varying levels of potential."

"Lower-grade Secret Techniques only require some ordinary, energy-rich medicinal pills. Middle-grade Secret Techniques start with a Sixth Grade Pill called Snake Marrow Bone Shedding Pill as the main ingredient. High-grade Secret Techniques, however, require a very difficult-to-make Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, a Seventh Grade Pill, which can maximize the potential of the Medusa baby, resulting in terrifying future achievements. However, this pill is extremely difficult to refine and is accompanied by Pill Lightning, which can destroy both the pill and the person if not handled carefully. Over the years, our Snake People Tribe has never had a Medusa bloodline nurtured by a high-grade Secret Technique."

The four Snake People elders spoke about the Secret Technique nourishment all at once, clearly well-prepared, and then they locked their fervent gazes on Yun Tianming.

Yun Tianming understood immediately. These old-timers, after all their roundabout talk, were simply aiming for a High-level Pill!

But this was just what he wanted; refining pills was merely a trivial task for him.

"Elders need not worry. My offspring will definitely receive the best Secret Technique nourishment. As for the Seventh Grade Pill: Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, I will take care of it!"

Yun Tianming's firm response caused the four Snake People elders to show expressions of surprise, and their attitude made a complete turnaround: "Hehe~ Mr. Yun, you truly are a sincere person!"

"Oh? Weren't the elders just saying that Queen Medusa is of unparalleled nobility and should not be married to just anyone?"

Cai Lin sneered slightly, her eyes showing a hint of mockery.

"Ahem~ Your Majesty, you are mistaken!"

"From ancient times to the present, which strong person on the Dou Qi Continent does not have numerous wives and concubines?"

"It is said that many children bring great fortune. Producing outstanding bloodlines is the most important thing for a tribe!"

"Exactly, exactly~ Mr. Yun is a remarkable person, and you and Her Majesty the Queen are truly a match made in heaven!"

The four elders began to persuade earnestly.

They had originally planned to sternly reprimand Yun Tianming, but the offer he made was too generous—it was a Seventh Grade Pill!

As long as the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill nourishes the next generation, the future Medusa offspring would at least become a Dou Ancestor, and might even reach higher levels!

—————

With the unanimous approval of the Snake People Chief, Yun Tianming and Cai Lin became partners.

"Tonight, let's begin."

Cai Lin took the initiative to speak, which surprised Yun Tianming.

"In such a hurry? Aren't we going to have a wedding or some sort of ceremony?"

"Hmph! Don't bring human customs to the Snake People Tribe. Also, Yun Tianming, you seem to have misunderstood something. My interest in you is purely out of admiration for your strength and the willingness to have offspring with you."

Cai Lin's expression was cold and aloof, showing no warmth.

"Alright, we'll discuss it later."

Yun Tianming skillfully carried on.

At first, Cai Lin was able to maintain her pride as a queen, but as time went on, her body's reactions made her unable to help but embrace him, her teeth clenched and her gaze gradually becoming dazed.

"Wait, Cai Lin, are you treating me like livestock?"

Yun Tianming was shocked to see Cai Lin activate part of her Magic Beast power.

"Hmph~ Who said this is all there is to it?"

Cai Lin's eyes were full of seduction, her breath fragrant, with lines of pink Dou Qi swirling around her.

"This is what you've forced me to do!"

Yun Tianming took a sharp breath and decisively used the system's enhancement privileges.

One month later.

Yun Tianming sensed a new life energy developing within Cai Lin's womb.

"Can I finally take a break now?"

Yun Tianming swallowed a few pills, and the color began to return to his pale face.

"Yun Tianming, well done!"

"Yue Mei, Hua She'er, from today onwards, you will take my place."

Cai Lin summoned the two Snake People Tribe leaders. Her thinking was similar to Yun Yun's: if she could bring his disciples into the curtain, then she could have her subordinates do the same.

"Your Majesty, isn't this… a bit inappropriate?"

"Lord Yun Tianming is your husband."

The two women were incredulous, wondering what kind of unusual operation this was.

"What? Are you unwilling?"

Cai Lin's eyes narrowed, her sharp gaze seeming to penetrate them.

"It's not that we're unwilling."

"Ahem~ If it's Her Majesty's order, we are willing to comply."

Yue Mei and Hua She'er exchanged glances and quickly made their decision.
