Standoff Between Two Countries

in the desert.

A procession was moving forward, and Qi Mo, sitting on a simple carriage, was sore from the jolting.

Ancient means of transportation were outdated.

It bounces up and down every now and then.

Even the toughest person will get injured.

However, in order to maintain the image of the god as a great deity, he had no choice but to endure it.

The Queen Mother of the West was in the carriage ahead. If she turned around and realized something was wrong, then things would be in trouble.

This wicked old hag is not so easily fooled.

In particular, Qi Mo could sense that the Queen Mother of the West was becoming increasingly hostile towards him.

Is your butt hurting badly?

Are you constantly afraid that the Queen Mother of the West will attack you?

Do you feel insecure in unfamiliar places?

Do you know why you have this thought?

Qi Mo secretly rolled his eyes.

That familiar tone, those familiar words—he already knew what the system wanted to do.

They're definitely trying to trick me into buying something.

Just as Qi Mo had expected, the system started recommending items from the store.

[You only have this kind of thinking because you're not strong enough.]

Don't miss out! This enhancement potion can greatly increase your strength.

Seeing that Qi Mo remained unmoved, the system used its trump card.

This enhancement potion can not only be taken orally, but also used for research.

How wonderful it would be to develop an enhancement potion all by myself...

Qi Mo was tempted.

He loved doing research and experiments, and he was completely defenseless against this new drug.

If he could, he would love to start researching enhancement potions right now and stop worrying about the war between the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom and the Jingjue Kingdom.

He asked himself:

"How much is a single enhancement potion?"

[Not expensive, not expensive, 500000 points]

"500000? Why don't you just rob me? I only have a little over 700,000 points left."

Not long ago, I showed off in front of the soldiers and earned a lot of points.

Adding that to what came before, it comes to just over 700,000.

Qi Mo suspected that this unscrupulous system set the price based on how many points he had.

Yes, very likely. That's in line with the system's style.

Bah! Garbage system! I curse your ancestors!

Buy it or not? If you don't want to, then forget it.

[Oh dear, a drug that could enable human evolution is right in front of you. Are you really just going to give it up like this?]

What a pity, what a real pity!

Qi Mo gritted his teeth.

"I've bought the dog system."

[500000 points have been deducted; enhancement potion redemption successful]

Do you want to take it now?

I can help you suppress the enhancement potion and absorb it little by little.

This process won't be too painful.

Qi Mo rejected the suggestion without even thinking about it.

What a joke! He bought the enhancement potion for research purposes, not to drink.

Moreover, even if he were to drink, he would only drink half; the other half, of course, was used for research.

At the very front, Little Sun, having bullied the Snake Mother for a while, got bored and flew towards Qi Mo.

"Master, Master, I've already taken that wretched snake as my underling."

"It promised me that if that wretched woman, the Queen Mother of the West, were to harm you, it would betray her and help us stab her in the back."

Qi Mo raised his head, looked at the little sun flying over, and smiled slightly.

This is good news.

The fact that the Snake Mother had become one of their own was something the Queen Mother of the West probably never imagined.

This old hag has always regarded the Snake Mother as a powerful weapon.

If I were betrayed one day, I'd probably be so angry I'd vomit blood.

"Little Sun, well done."

"From now on, don't stray too far from me; protect my safety at all times."

Qi Mo had no idea whether the Queen Mother of the West would secretly send someone to attack him.

However, being a cautious person, he still felt that he needed to take precautions.

Moreover, even if the Queen Mother of the West doesn't take action, the Jingjue Kingdom might still send assassins, so it's better to be careful.

"Yes, Master."

The little sun flew into the carriage and quietly hovered above Qi Mo's head.

On the carriage in front, the Queen Mother of the West turned around and glanced back.

That little sun seemed to have changed somewhat.

Previously, they would only stay obediently by the side of the gods, but now they can move freely.

Could it be that the gods can bestow "spirituality" upon all things in heaven and earth?

…………

The group walked for two days and finally reached the border.

Qi Mo stepped down from the carriage and secretly rubbed his buttocks.

He has suffered greatly these past two days.

"Hiss!"

The snake mother crawled towards this side, wanting to get intimate with her newly recognized little sun.

The little sun gave it a disdainful warning not to come near.

"Big fat snake, this is my master, whom you have met before."

"From now on, when you see my master, you must be very respectful."

"Do whatever he tells you to do, understand?"

The snake mother nodded in a human-like manner.

It has lived for hundreds of years and has a high level of intelligence, but it is unable to communicate with others.

Even the Queen Mother of the West sometimes couldn't understand its meaning.

Moreover, that woman always liked to whisper some crazy things in its ear.

Several times, it fell asleep while listening to it.

Qi Mo had never touched the head of such a large python before, and couldn't help but feel curious.

He stretched out his hand and raised it in mid-air.

"Lower your head, I want to touch it."

The Snake Mother paused for a moment, seemingly trying to understand the meaning behind Qi Mo's words.

"Big fat snake, are you looking for death?"

"Quickly lower your head."

"Useless trash!"

The little sun used its round body to bump the snake mother's head.

The snake mother was beaten, but dared not retaliate, and looked aggrieved.

It obediently lowered its head.

Qi Mo touched the huge snake head.

These scales are quite large, about the size of a palm.

But could you please stop sticking your tongue out? It smells terrible.

"Alright, go play somewhere else."

He waved his hand.

The snake mother wisely left.

However, it kept turning back, wanting to play with the little sun.

Little Sun only wanted to stay by Qi Mo's side, ignoring the Snake Mother completely.

Not far away.

The Queen Mother of the West's lips twitched as she looked at the Snake Mother's pathetic state.

She always felt that the Snake Mother had betrayed the enemy.

"Damn it, I've been feeding and treating you to all sorts of good food and drink."

"But you're fooling around with other people, you traitor, you traitor!"

The Queen Mother of the West cursed inwardly.

She originally intended to use the Snake Mother to establish her authority with Qi Mo and prove that she was not someone to be bullied.

They also wield considerable power.

But plans can't keep up with changes. In just two days, the Snake Mother had become Qi Mo's "person".

She was so tired that she didn't want to talk anymore.

Seeing the Queen Mother of the West looking so distraught, a maidservant asked with concern:

"Queen Mother of the West, what's wrong?"

"Are you tired from traveling for two days?"

"Is it because of the war with Jingjue Kingdom that you are uneasy?"

"If it's because of the Jingjue Kingdom, you don't need to worry."

"This time, the deity has come with us."

"A small kingdom like Jingjue is no match for our Queen Mother of the West Kingdom."

The Queen Mother of the West turned her head and glanced at the maid.

I'm exhausted because of this god you talk about. Do you have the guts to kill him?

If you're incompetent, shut up.

This maid is becoming increasingly oblivious to everything.

It seems that once the war begins, we can send her to be cannon fodder...

…………

On the other side, over in the Kingdom of Jingjue.

The Queen of Jingjue gazed at the camp of the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom, a thoughtful expression on her face.

In the past, the Queen Mother of the West dared not provoke her, and the two countries lived in peace.

But now, why does the Queen Mother of the West dare to wage war against her so openly?

Did the Queen Mother of the West obtain other powerful abilities?

But she was fearless.

As the queen of Jingjue Kingdom, she has been able to rule the country for so many years, and naturally she also possesses some extraordinary powers.

Queen Mother of the West, if you dare to start a war, then I will fight you to the death and see who is stronger.

She planned to launch a surprise attack at night, catching the Queen Mother of the West completely off guard.

Time passed second by second.

Under the cover of night, soldiers from the Jingjue Kingdom were quietly approaching the camp of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West seemed to have anticipated this, and had sent people to guard the area around the camp in advance.

The soldiers of Jingjue Kingdom are planning a surprise attack and are already approaching the camp.

Don't rush to show yourself. Wait until they start fighting, when it's getting intense, then show yourself.

[At that time, I'm sure I'll be able to earn even more Shock Points.]

The system offered suggestions and became increasingly excited as it spoke.

Although Qi Mo didn't want to pay attention to the system, he felt that what it said made a lot of sense, so he prepared to do as it said.

Outside the camp.

The Snake Mother closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, and completely ignored the Queen Mother of the West's summons.

It can't hear, it can't hear, it can't hear.

Could the Queen Mother of the West please stop blowing her whistle?

It's so noisy.

It just wanted to stay with the boss and didn't want to look at that sickly and neurotic face every day.
