Xiao Yan stared blankly at Seven-Colored Little Snake wrapped around his wrist, couldn't help but let out a breath, then sighed softly and said.
It would be a lie to say that he is not scary, but he is a Dou Zong strong man, and he is also a Dou Zong strong man who is obviously hostile to him! Xiao Yan said he was not afraid and even he didn't believe it.
But being afraid is of no use at all. Being afraid will not make the enemy pity you.
So turn fear into strength.
Xiao Yan's pretending to sigh did make him relax. For him, he was almost used to such a tense and exciting life.
Fortunately, I have a big heart, otherwise it would be hard to say. I would be scared to death every day.
Just as Xiao Yan was gradually relaxing his nerves in the room and preparing to go to bed to practice, Yao Lao said, "Are you really going to do this Queen Medusa's request?"
"Then Soul Fusion Pill, do you really plan to give it to her?"
Yao Lao's tone was a little solemn. Queen Medusa was different from Xiao Yan's other troubles before. Not only was she the first Dou Zong strong person that Xiao Yan had encountered so far, but she had always been by Xiao Yan's side, like a poisonous snake that would bite him from time to time.
But Xiao Yan really doesn't know if Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is a venomous snake. I guess it's not the case even if it's so powerful that it flies away, right?
Xiao Yan sat quietly on the bed, crossed his legs, and began to prepare for practice.
The energy of Flame Mantra circulates throughout his body, breathing in the Dou Qi here.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan said, "Why don't you give it to me? Queen Medusa can't threaten me anyway."
"According to my guess, Queen Medusa most likely wants to completely complete the fusion of his soul with Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python through Soul Fusion Pill, and use this as a basis to break the restriction that the girl has placed on her from being able to attack you... Although I am not entirely sure whether her approach is feasible, but if nothing happens, she will be able to transform freely by then, and her body will be completely back under her control."
"Even if the ban is still in place at that time, a Dou Zong who doesn't have the same heart as you after all... This is too dangerous."
The assumptions given by Yao Lao also indicate his views and positions.
Xiao Yan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. To be honest, I'm a little unsure about how to treat this Queen Medusa now. Just because I have a restriction, I can't do whatever I want to her. I won't die even if I die in the future."
"But it's not a problem to just leave her alone all the time. Wan Guniang can't protect me all the time. I'll probably have to solve this problem myself."
Xiao Yan's words made Yao Lao nodded slightly. It seemed that his apprentice was not spoiled by the girl's constant care. This was a good thing.
"In my opinion, it is better to give Soul Fusion Pill to her. As for the next step, maybe I will inevitably need to have contact with her. Teacher, you also said that a Queen Medusa who is not on the same page as me is really too dangerous, but what if she is willing to help me? It is not out of the threat of the ban, but her own will. Then I can get the help of a strong Dou Zong."
Yao Lao nodded. He admitted that what Xiao Yan said was reasonable, but he still couldn't agree with it.
"Are you serious? Queen Medusa is Queen of the Snake-People Tribe. What kind of deep hatred does Snake-People Tribe have with humans? Just look at the little girl named Qing Lin in the yard - do you think such an arrogant person like her would choose to help us?"
"No matter how arrogant you are, you still have to eat the fireworks of the world."
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, explaining, "Teacher, you said at the beginning that Snake-People is female, and there are very few Snake-Peoples with fire attributes. How about Snake-People with fire and wood attributes?"
As soon as Xiao Yan said this, Yao Lao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "You mean, there is no alchemist in the Snake-People Tribe at all?"
"A person who can become Rank 6 Alchemist or even Tier-7 Alchemist in the future, I think Queen Medusa will not be in a hurry to kill people as soon as they get the first pill."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan smiled and reached out from his sleeves to pull out Seven-Colored Little Snake, who was about to fall asleep, and rolled it into a round snake cake in the palm of his hand.
Seven-Colored Little Snake's originally hazy and full sleepy eyes gradually regained their vitality, and then looked up at Xiao Yan in a somewhat confused manner. However, he was not angry because Xiao Yan disturbed its rest. Instead, he took the initiative to rub Xiao Yan's fingertips from his head.
Seeing that Seven-Colored Little Snake was so well-behaved, Xiao Yan, who had gradually realized the joy of raising Pokémon, could not be stingy, so he took out a small jade bottle from Storage Ring, dropped two drops of Amethyst Accompanying Source, and poured it into his palm, making the excited little snake very happy.
"You can tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal, right? Little one?"
Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"You mean that Queen Medusa may not want to kill you in the future, but wants you to be used by her?"
Yao Lao understood what Xiao Yan meant and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's just a guess in the end. I just think that it is not easy for the Snake-People Tribe to produce an alchemist. The birth of a high-level alchemist is even more difficult than the birth of the next generation Queen Medusa from the Snake-People Tribe clan. Now that there is an opportunity in front of her, she may not really come as she says."
Xiao Yan explained, "After all, Tagor Desert is in a poor and remote place. Snake-People Tribe has not been involved with other forces and races. It is considered that they have been at peace during this period. This... is really not necessarily the case."
The Amethyst Accompanying Source in the hand was almost eaten, and the Seven-Colored Little Snake in the hand of Xiao Yan let out a Purple Fire surging burp. After drinking and eating, sleepiness also came up. Without choosing any place, he lowered his head directly on the hand of Xiao Yan and fell asleep.
Xiao Yan gently touched Seven-Colored Little Snake's head and said at the same time, "So, the next Soul Fusion Pill may not just be a simple transaction between me and Queen Medusa, but may also be my certificate of investment to prove my worth to her."
"At that time, there will be no need to use so-called prohibitions to forcibly restrain her in the transaction between us."
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan at this moment. For some reason, he just felt a little inexplicable and suddenly laughed.
Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao's laughter and couldn't help but raise his head. "What's wrong, teacher, do you think what I said is wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Yao Lao heard this and temporarily suppressed his laughter, but said, "Although the hypothesis you mentioned seems a bit risky to me, it may be worth a try."
"As for why I'm laughing... do you know who you looked like just now?"
"Huh? Who?"
This time it was Xiao Yan's turn to look stunned.
"Of course it's the girl."
Yao Lao laughed, and Xiao Yan blinked. He looked like Wan Guniang... right?
In the Imperial City, a dark shadow had been silent for a long time. It seemed that it felt that the time had come, and then it hid in the shadows of the surrounding things and moved closer to the courtyard where Xiao Yan and the others were.
Just when he was about to approach the courtyard, the infiltrator thought that maybe her practice in recent days had reached the next bottleneck, and her soul perception had become somewhat restrained. However, just when he was about to take a step further, the voice he had been wary of suddenly sounded behind him.
"It's true that I haven't been feeling well these past two days, but I'm not dead—!"
The sweet voice inevitably contained a bit of triggered anger. When the voice came, the body of the person hiding in the shadow shook violently, trying his best to resist the sudden Soul Fluctuation.
"How many times have I told you, if you want it, just grab it yourself. What's the point of putting an informant here? Control? Does she treat me like a dead person?!"
Yao Wan's voice was rarely filled with anger, and with her Soul Fluctuation, the figure hiding in the shadow could no longer hold it back and had to groan.
"——Talk."
Yao Wan's voice came from all directions. The infiltrator who had always remained silent had no choice but to finally say, "Miss's order, Ling Ying has no choice but to complete it."
"——Oh, he's not dead yet."
Yao Wan's tone gradually returned to its usual calmness, but the gaze that came from nowhere looked at Ling Ying, who in her eyes was no different from standing upright on the street, and said, "I haven't seen you showing up some time ago. Originally, I thought she should give up... but... huh."
"It's no wonder that Miss is worried about Young Master Xiao Yan...Wan Guniang."
Ling Ying had no choice but to explain, but before he could say the word "medicine" in his mouth, he felt that the space around him seemed to be shrinking, so he could only change his words temporarily.
"Worried? What are you worried about me for?"
Yao Wan was amused by Ling Ying's words. "She had the nerve to say what she was worried about? Why didn't she worry when Xiao Yan narrowly escaped death? Why didn't she worry when I found Heavenly Flames for him? Huh?"
Ling Ying had no choice but to deal with it by pretending to be deaf and dumb. After all, this was originally the fault of the lady. It was not convenient for him to speak, and everyone was at fault.
"——That's all, it's all in vain to talk to you, a doormat."
Soon, Yao Wan gradually controlled his emotions.
"By the way, doesn't she like to know how Xiao Yan is doing these days?"
Ling Ying looked up, and he was shocked, and another Healing Pill fell on top of his head.
"Then just say - Xiao Yan has almost forgotten about her - how about that?"
Yao Wan's words made Ling Ying's mouth twitch slightly. Even with the young lady's temper, she would probably be furious after hearing such a provocation.
Having said that, this Yao Clan's Young Miss has never been at odds with the lady from the beginning. If she were to say this, the lady would probably be...
Ling Ying couldn't help but shook his head. This was not something he could solve. He had better retreat first and inform the lady of the situation here——
Ling Ying knew that Yao Wan had no intention of keeping him at all, so he left immediately after accepting the Healing Pill.
