--- Chapter 134 ---

Qing Lin fumbled with her fingers and explained the journey she had walked on so far, "So, when was the last time we parted... The teacher and I returned to Sky Serpent Mansion, only to find an elder discovering a map to an explored Secret Realm."

"My teacher was too excited and immediately brought me there."

"And we got stranded for months with no backups. I survived by controlling every snake-type Magical Beast in the secret realm and somehow becoming one of its rulers."

"Months have passed quickly, and I've tried every way to get out of that place until one day, I discovered a peak Rank 8 Magical Beast White-Scaled Serpentine Dragon guarding a water canal."

"We fought for a month before I successfully tamed him. He's quite an opponent." She glanced at the massive Serpentine Dragon, telling it to come closer.

Patting the Magical Beast, Qing Lin put on a solemn expression and explained, "But things aren't over yet."

"Does this have something to do with other rulers? You did mention being one of them." Baek Ain suddenly asked.

Qing Lin blushed in shame as she answered, "Yes..."

"I-I'm lacking compared to Big Brother Ain and Sisters, so I only conquered 1/4 of the Mellowing Serpent Dragon Secret Realm."

"Mellowing Serpent Dragon Secret Realm!!" Yao Ling's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you telling the truth, young lady?"

"Um, yeah? Of course, I'm telling the truth." Qing Lin answered while looking at this bizarre woman. "I'd never lie to Big Brother Ain."

Everyone believed Qing Lin. The amount of conviction she had in Baek Ain wouldn't get belittled by other feelings.

"1/4 of the Secret Realm isn't a bad achievement." Baek Ain chuckled before giving Qing Lin more pats. He showered her with affection and made Cai Lin somewhat vexed.

"Can you explain more about the other rulers, though?"

"Mm, okay." Qing Lin nodded slightly. "The Mellowing Serpent Dragon Realm is a vast plain separated into four areas. According to my research over six months, this Secret Realm is where Mellowing Serpent Dragon buried himself."

"The Muddy River, Forest King's Domain, Ghost King's Palace, and Serpent Dragon Grave."

"I was teleported to the Muddy River with my teacher. Its original ruler is Rank 9 Nine-Headed Boa Snake, which I have tamed."

"Upon noticing my reign, other rulers started attacking me. My cultivation base is severely lacking, as you can see. I'm only 5-Star Dou Venerate."

"However, my pupils' power helped me a lot. I've been fending off those Magical Beasts for months and survived the bitter fight. They are old fogies who don't know where to stop..."

The corner of Yafei and Yi Xian's mouths simultaneously twitched when hearing Qing Ling's humbleness on her cultivation base. A reminder, they are still hard-stuck at the 10-Star Dou Ancestor Realm.

They have this urge to bully her for some reason.

Baek Ain chuckled and said, "Continue, Qing Lin."

Qing Lin enjoyed Baek Ain's pats and continued, "Those rulers are Rank 9 Magical Beasts also. They are Diamond Ape King, Weeping Shadow Bat, and Three-Horned Dragon."

"I lightly injured them with my parasites' specialty, but Rank 9 is too strong. And my pupil's power is severely limited to Snake-type Magical Beast, so it could only make them feel dizzy for a second or two."

"Fighting against three Rank 9 Magical Beasts isn't easy. I couldn't do it with confidence a few months ago."

"Big Brother Ain, you're stronger than me. How could that be?" Qing Lin giggled innocently.

Baek Ain shook his head as he told the truth. Before discovering the Sage Kingdom, or else known as the Behemoth Paradise now, Baek Ain wasn't confident enough to fight Half-Saint Expert.

Qing Lin still didn't realize the cheating power of her pupils. She literally could increase her cultivation base by enslaving more snake-type Magical Beasts. That sounds ambiguous at first glance, but imagine a thousand, if not ten thousand, Rank 7 to 9 Magical Beasts supplying Qing Lin with their strength.

She just stated one of her tamed Magical Beasts was Rank 9. That should be enough to put into perspective just how powerful and unfair her innate talent is. Her cultivation is the same as Baek Ain, and he's a System fricking user.

He transmigrated to this world, for fuck sake.

Still, it doesn't mean Qing Lin's strength is comparable to Baek Ain's.

If we use RPG terms, Qing Lin would be a Beast Tamer while Baek Ain's All-Round Cheater Class. Since she focused on one aspect, her strength will be more prominent in that field.

"Elder Yao Ling, are you interested in the Secret Realm?" Baek Ain smiled at Yao Ling.

Yao Ling clicked her tongue, "Of course I am."

"Who wouldn't?"

"Me." Qing Lin raised her hand innocently. "I just want to get out of that bothersome place."

"Why am I not surprised..." Yao Ling rolled her eyes.

Baek Ain clapped his hand and returned, "Then, it's settled. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe will help us conquer the Mellowing Serpent Dragon Secret Realm."

"As for the reward, we will do a 19:1 split."

"And our tribe is the later split, isn't it?" Yao Ling sighed helplessly. Even if she asked more, she probably got a little increase in this split.

Baek Ain expanded his sense and commented, "We are not alone in this area as Qing Lin and her Serpentine Dragon's appearance gained a lot of attention."

"Rou, cover us."

"Got it." Lan Rou created a thick mist all over the Muddy Dragon River.

"Qing Lin, the path toward the Secret Realm. Is it still open or not?" Baek Ain asked while gazing toward the Muddy Dragon River.

Qing Lin shook her head and replied, "No, it's closed."

"The only way we unlock the Secret Realm's entrance is by using the blood essence of the Serpentine Dragon, which Little White has. However, his blood essence becomes weaker after I unlocked the entrance once, so our chance is to wait for a week."

"Blood essence... I'll solve the problem later." Baek Ain thought of using his Ashen-Eyed Behemoth's bloodline to trigger the Serpent Dragon's recovery, but that would kill the Magical Beast.

His other option is using an Alchemy Pill.

"Let's go to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python first."

"Okay." Everyone responded in agreement.

Yao Ling escorted them to a secret route by crossing the Muddy Dragon River and using an underground path, which was "actually." excavated several hundred years ago.

They soon arrived at the yellow-colored waterfall.

Baek Ain was fascinated by the yellow color of the waterfall and commented, "So much Earth Dou Qi in this water."

"No wonder Nine Serene Deep Ground Python was blessed with Earth Elements. You guys are living with it."

Yao Ling lifted her nose proudly, "Hehehe~! It is nothing."

"This waterfall is just a small flow connected to the Nine Serene Spring."

"Once you visit the Nine Serene Spring, you'll be even more surprised!"

"I hope so. My expectation is hard to please." Baek Ain has seen too many amazing things in this world.

"Hmm, this smell?"

"Blood, someone is fighting outside!"

They keenly observed the surrounding area from the other side of the waterfall curtain, seeing two individuals fight.

Yao Ling recognized both of them.

"Leader! First Elder!"
