"Does that change anything?" Nuwa asked confused as she gazed at Yiren. "My daughter and I are Xuefeng's wives and I don't see any problem."
"No! She is still my mother!" Drakos denied firmly. "For you, it might be normal but I won't let that happen."
"Come on, it's the Dragon Race we are talking about. If we can get their open support, many other races will follow suit," Xiao Wen called out with logic. "We already have the Mermaid Race as well as a well-known Trade Union and House of Dragon's support. I'm sure we will receive Elvish Race support as well. Dragon Race is crucial for our goals."
"That doesn't change anything. I won't let Xuefeng sleep with my mom. This shouldn't even be a discussion," Drakos argued. "We can use Katherine's influence to get their help instead."
"That won't work," Katherine denied right away. "The moment I married a human, that's when my influence ended. The only way for us to get the Dragon Race on our side is to receive the Queen's support."
"No, no, no, no, no," Drakos repeated while shaking his head.
"Didn't you cut your ties with the Dragon Race and want to have your revenge?" Katherine questioned.
"Doesn't matter. That is still my mother," Drakos replied. "She was the only one who actually supported me so I have nothing against her."
"Man…" Ryan whispered as he came to Xuefeng's side. "You know you won it when your wives are the ones who search for new girls for you…"
Xuefeng smiled wryly but there was nothing he could say about it. If it wasn't important, his wives wouldn't even consider such a solution.
"Okay, okay, let's not think so far in the future," Wuying finally stopped the discussion as it led nowhere. "We should focus on the matters at hand."
"Momo, have you been to the deepest level in the Hellhole?" Xuefeng asked, successfully switching the topic.
"I personally did not since that level is not connected to our water system. We can only access the base that humans created in the Second Level so when it comes to the deepest level, only my Queen reached there," Momo replied. "She said a powerful expert is guiding that place and doesn't let anyone inside. She herself only exchanged a few words with her before only to be forced away with a warning."
"I see. I guess we will move deeper after we reach that base you were talking about," Xuefeng decided. "How many people are located there?"
"The last time we checked, there were a few hundred of them there," Momo reported, making everyone smile. There were bound to find more targets to kill and this time it wouldn't be a one-person show.
Even though they were swimming, they moved much faster thanks to the strong current. In just one hour, they finally reached their pitstop.

Thud!
A big male body flew across the bar, causing everyone to laugh.
"Give up Old Bear! This lady is too fierce for you!" Drunk Cultivators called out at the middle-aged man who just got slapped across the face. The culprit turned out to be Dandan who sat alone by the bar counter while drinking a dark beer.
"If you come close once again, I will cut off your arm and pierce it deep up your ass," Dandan warned, giving him a stern look. One could tell she wasn't in a good mood yet those men kept teasing her.
"Damn, you bitch!" Old bear cursed as he lifted himself up embarrassed. "If you are so strong then step outside with me. I will show you—"
"What?" Dandan cut him off. "You want to show me your tiny friend? I'm sorry but I'm not interested."
Her counter made everyone laugh again, causing the man to turn red from anger. He walked up to the counter while pulling out a sword but instant pressure from everyone in the bar stopped him in place.
"Old Bear, sit the fuck down and grab a beer. This is the best inn in this damned place. If you dare mess it up, I will be the one to stick something up your ass," the Cultivators called out sternly, causing Old Bear to put down his weapon.
"You are lucky. If not for them, I would already fuck you up," Old Bear called to Dandan to save his ego she suddenly stood up after gulping down her beer.
"Let's go then."
"Huh?" Old Bear looked at her confused.
"Why do you look like you didn't shit for a month? You wanted to fight then come. It just happens that I need some pocket change," Dandan said in disdain and walked towards the exit. "It just so happens I'm in a mood to beat someone up."
Old Bear remained in his place, suddenly looking like he didn't want to fight anymore.
"Hahaha! If you don't fight her we will look down on you!" the Cultivators laughed hard, causing the man to finally follow Dandan outside. There was little to no entertainment in the Hellhole so how could everyone miss this fight?
Dandan waited on the outside while cracking her neck, waiting to let off some steam after what happened earlier that day. When Jiao got swallowed by the gigantic worm, she searched everywhere to find her but failed miserably. She followed the path the worm created but it created so many tunnels, she finally got lost.
If not for the fact that she found a few Cultivators in one of the random tunnels, she would never find her way out. Now she was alone in the second level while not even knowing if her best friend was dead or alive.
'Damn it!' Dandan cursed in her mind when she thought about it. She was the one who suggested going to the Hellhole and now, Jiao was most probably dead.
Even when she tried to convince others to help her search, they asked her to be their slave in return, leaving Dandan with no other options.
"If you think I won't kill you, then you are mistaken," Old Bear announced, breaking her train of thoughts.
"That's good. It just happens I want to kill you too," Dandan replied and launched forward without any warning. Too bad, before she even reached him, a sudden explosion threw them off.
"Is someone else fighting?" Old Bear questioned and his question got answered by three fireballs exploding right after above their heads. They were loud enough to wake up anyone in the small town.
Dandan was about to fly up to see what was going on when she heard a familiar voice reverberate in the cavern.
"Everyone get your asses out of the buildings! This is a robbery! If I don't see you outside in the next ten seconds, your chances of survival will drop to zero!"
Dandan's eyes widened as she screamed in her mind. 'Xuefeng!'
What was he doing in this place? It didn't matter. She could finally get some help!
"Time is up! Everyone, fly above the city with your hands up so I can see them. Ladies to the left! Guys to the right! Move, move!" Xuefeng ordered boldly as he waved around with his sword. "If I don't see your hands up, I'm going to shoot!"
"Who the fuck is this clown?!" Old Bear questioned while all the Cultivators that came out didn't even move. They all looked at Xuefeng's group as if they were delusional.
There were a few hundred of them in the base while Xuefeng was in a group with less than twenty people. Who would take him seriously after sensing they were mostly in the Immortal Stage?
"Ignore them. Let the Dark Fate Sect handle them." Someone else commented as they simply watched. Sure enough, a group of black-cloaked Cultivators flew up to face them and end the drama.
Some thought it was already over as they began walking back to the Inn but Dandan was sure, this was just the beginning.
"I don't see your hands up in the air. I guess you want to die," Xuefeng called out with a shrug and aimed the tip of his sword at the Dark Fate Sect's disciples. "Bang!"
"This is Dark Fate Sect's territory! Stop causing problems or I will have to—"
Thud!
The Leader of the Dark Fate group started threatening only to realize one member was already dropping down from the sky, smashing headfirst at the ground.
"One down. Who's next?" Xuefeng asked as he aimed his Dragon Edge at the Leader. "Bang!"
As soon as that same word came out of his mouth, the Leader stopped showing signs of life and dropped dead. It was finally at that time when everyone realized that man wasn't joking.
An Ancient Celestial Cultivator died just like that?!
"If you don't want to die, get your asses in the air! I don't have time to joke around," Xuefeng called out sternly, causing the people to suddenly move. They didn't fly up like Xuefeng ordered but scrambled in all directions, trying to escape.
Xuefeng only smirked as he gazed at his companions.. "Ladies, I will leave that to you."
