BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

The beautiful puppets in front of him were all created by Xiao Feng specifically for miscellaneous tasks. With their assistance, Xiao Feng could save a lot of time when refining artefacts.

In the original plot of Under One Person, Ma Xianhong created many puppets called "Ruhua" for such chores.

The beautiful puppets Xiao Feng created were enhanced versions of these "Ruhua" puppets.

Since Xiao Feng used materials from Tier 4 magical beasts to craft these puppets, their defence was comparable to that of a Tier 4 beast, and their strength and speed were on par with peak Tier 3 magical beasts. Their overall strength equalled that of a peak-level Dou Master.

With just a thought, the beautiful puppets started working—some hammering metal, others serving tea, and a few giving massages.

...

Time passed slowly, and about a week later, Qing Lin successfully broke through to a one-star Dou Master.

After breaking through, Qing Lin didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed the "Life-Devouring Pill" that Xiao Feng had given her.

It took Qing Lin two full days to completely absorb the pill's power, and her cultivation skyrocketed to a one-star Dou King.

What surprised everyone the most was that Qing Lin's hair did not turn white, and her lifespan showed no signs of being shortened.

It wasn't that the "Life-Devouring Pill" had no side effects. Instead, Qing Lin used her "Spirit Snake Death Substitution Technique" to transfer all the damage to a Tier 3 Stone Rock Snake.

That unfortunate Stone Rock Snake, after bearing all the damage on her behalf, had its lifespan reduced from hundreds of years to just three.

When Xiao Feng learned of this, he was both surprised and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"So, this is how we're playing it? All three of us took the 'Life-Devouring Pill,' but it turns out I'm the only one who got hit by its side effects! After all this time, the clown turns out to be me?"

After reporting her breakthrough to Xiao Feng, Qing Lin, along with Queen Medusa, she left the Serpent Clan's royal city to tame the Tier 6 snake-type magical beasts that had already been chosen.

Since Tier 6 snake-type magical beasts are equivalent to Dou Emperor-level powerhouses, they are considered overlords in the Magic Beast Mountain Range and the nearby human empires. Their territories are also far apart from each other.

According to Queen Medusa's original plan, she only intended to help Qing Lin tame two Tier 6 snake-type magical beasts. After that, Qing Lin would be able to tame the others herself.

However, plans needed to catch up with changes. On their way back to the Serpent Clan's royal city, Queen Medusa and Qing Lin were blocked by an Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor.

Relying on its connection to the Sky Serpent Mansion, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor brazenly attempted to propose to Queen Medusa.

As a flying magical beast known for its speed, even if it couldn't defeat Queen Medusa, it could easily escape from her.

Unfortunately for the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, it was out of luck. It encountered both Queen Medusa and Qing Lin at the same time.

While Queen Medusa was keeping the snake emperor occupied, Qing Lin used her Green Snake Triple-Jade Flower Pupils to enslave it forcibly.

Thus, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor became Qing Lin's new mount, and they returned to the Serpent Clan's royal city a few days earlier than expected.

With no more concerns to hold her back, Queen Medusa immediately began preparing to evolve her bloodline, while Qing Lin sought out Xiao Feng and the Little Medical Fairy to share her good news.

Seeing the three Tier 6 snake pets Qing Lin summoned, Xiao Feng patted her head and said, "Well done! The Ice Dragon Python, Flame Snake Emperor, and Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor combined with the Myriad Snake Array—there probably aren't many in the entire Jia Ma Empire who could be your match."

(^▽^)

Qing Lin, feeling a bit shy, smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the 'Life-Devouring Pill' you gave me, Master. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through to Dou King so quickly, let alone tame Bai Ya and the others."

Though her power had increased significantly, what made Qing Lin happiest was that she could finally truly help Xiao Feng.

As long as Xiao Feng gave the word, Qing Lin would immediately lead her Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor and the others to attack the Yun Lan Sect and give Nalan Yanran a good beating.

Qing Lin walked over to the Little Medical Fairy, took her delicate hand, and said, "Sister Xian'er, if anyone dares to bully you or Master again, I'll make sure they regret it!"

"Our little Qing Lin has grown up. She knows how to protect people now. So sweet~"

Ever since Queen Medusa took Qing Lin as her disciple, Qing Lin's once soft and timid nature had become much more authoritarian under her influence.

Of course, when it came to Xiao Feng and the Little Medical Fairy, Qing Lin remained her usual sweet self.

...

A few days later.

Serpent Clan Royal City, Island in the Heart of the Lake.

Under the tense gazes of the four elders and Qing Lin, Queen Medusa slowly removed her purple robe, revealing her proud figure, and then formed a hand seal.

"Shua!!!"

Accompanied by a blinding flash of purple light, a massive purple serpent, over ten zhang in length, suddenly appeared before Qing Lin and the elders.

The purple serpent's body was long and powerful, radiating an elegant beauty. Its eyes were filled with determination as it glanced back at Qing Lin and the four elders before resolutely charging toward the Green Lotus Core Flame.

The once palm-sized Green Lotus Core Flame, after being attacked by the purple serpent, expanded into a massive fireball a hundred meters in diameter, engulfing the purple serpent.

"Ah—"

As the purple serpent was enveloped by the Green Lotus Core Flame, Queen Medusa's hair-raising scream echoed throughout the entire Serpent Clan royal city.

The Little Medical Fairy, who had been playing chess with Xiao Feng, heard Queen Medusa's scream. Her face changed slightly, showing a hint of concern. "I wonder if Her Majesty will be able to survive this ordeal?"

After spending several months together, the Little Medical Fairy had come to regard Queen Medusa as a friend, so that she couldn't help but worry.

Xiao Feng smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry! Her Majesty is blessed with great fortune; she'll be fine."

Xiao Feng's calmness wasn't because he didn't care about Queen Medusa's safety, but because during breakfast, he had already foreseen her successfully evolving in the future.

In the vision Xiao Feng had seen, Queen Medusa, just like in the original story, had successfully evolved into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

Queen Medusa's agonised wails continued for over half an hour before they gradually subsided.

Seeing that the purple serpent's once massive body, over ten zhang long, had been reduced to just two or three zhang, the four elders' hearts were in their throats.

Looking at the charred, lifeless remains of the purple serpent, the third elder couldn't help but speak, "Could… could it have failed?"
