The Serpent-People Tribe's Affairs Settled

Yang Shan did not show much emotion upon receiving the message.

Now that we're in the main storyline of "The Serpent-People tribe's tribulation," it's naturally easier to raise Medusa Queen's favorability.

If it weren't for Yang Shan, the Serpent-People tribe would have been severely weakened, if not wiped out.

At least two of those four Nine Star Dou Huang elders will die!

Whether the Green Lotus Core Flame can be preserved remains a question.

For such a significant contribution, he only gained this little bit of favorability. Yang Shan thought of his beloved "senior sister" again.

He wanted to improve his relationship with Xiao Xun'er, but he had no chance at all! He needed to accumulate more strength and then find a way to get to Central Plains as soon as possible.

There are still many great opportunities waiting for him in Central Plains! However, everyone's plan to go to the front line to gain experience has completely failed.

Yang Shan specifically asked Xiao Aotian about the situation at the front lines.

Xiao Aotian declared that he was wreaking havoc, and once the Fallen Heart Flame was unleashed, the players of Mulan Valley were simply unable to withstand it. Even after using up all the poison in his Lucky Poison Hand Storage Ring, they still couldn't match his kill count! He even single-handedly killed the Fifth Elder of Mulan Valley.

Yang Shan told everyone the news, and they stopped walking.

Yi Qingyang took the initiative to pay for Yang Shan and the others to have a simple meal.

Even in games, you shouldn't be constantly on the go; you should have some free time.

So Yang Shan treated Yi Qingyang to a good meal! During the meal, Yi Qingyang asked curiously, "Brother Yang! How much favor did you gain from Medusa this time?"

Yang Shan: "You also received positive feedback?"

Yi Qingyang seemed quite happy:

"Yes, I gained a little bit. This is what I got from resisting Pill King Gu He. It's a pity I couldn't kill him, otherwise I should have gotten two points. I only met Medusa once before when I was a guest elder and got a little bit of favorability, but it seems that you get a little bit of favorability as long as you become a guest elder."

Seeing how happy Yi Qingyang, Yang Shan felt bad about discouraging him too much, so he could only make up a white lie. He exaggeratedly said, "Damn, you're really lucky. I only got three points!"

Tears Chao Bafang, "I didn't do it at all!"

Su Yitang cried:

"I don't have any either."

Yi Qingyang: "And what about Brother Zhu?"

Zhu Tianpeng, who was watching Yang Shan kick Medusa's shapely buttocks, wiped his drool and asked, "Brother Yang, how was the feedback from that kick? Can you elaborate?"

Yang Shan: "???"

Su Yitang slammed her hand on the table and stood up:

"You, Zhu Tianpeng, I'm still here! Discussing this in front of girls, how can you be so shameless?"

Zhu Tianpeng said awkwardly, "Well, Su Meinu, I got too engrossed in watching the video."

Yang Shan shook his head repeatedly and advised, "Lao Zhu, watching porn videos every day is pointless. Try dating a Snake-People NPC with a perky butt and you'll see."

Zhu Tianpeng's eyes lit up. "That's right! Great idea!"

Su Yitang said angrily, "Hmph, Zhu Tianpeng, you really are a lecherous old man!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "Our Brother Yang the Soul Hall’s First Player! We employees should definitely follow Brother Yang's example!"

Su Yitang scoffed, "Tch, the boss is nothing like you. The boss doesn't need to seduce anyone; people practically throw themselves at him! Why do you think the boss drew his sword so quickly? He has no interest in women, okay? You dare kick Medusa's ass?"

Zhu Tianpeng said helplessly:

"Su Meinu, you're being a bit too obsequious to Brother Yang. It's not appropriate."

Su Yitang slammed her hand on the table and stood up:

"Is it wrong for me to fawn over my boss? Are you going to pay me a salary?"

Zhu Tianpeng cried out in distress, "Brother Yang, help me!"

Yang Shan not only failed to help, but also added fuel to the fire:

"Save what? Su Yitang is mocking you like this, can you stand it? A real man shouldn't be a coward when playing a game. Go and fight Su Yitang one-on-one, beat her, and she'll shut up."

Zhu Tianpeng: "If I could beat Su Meinu, would I need to ask you for help?"

Chao Bafang came and clung to Zhu Tianpeng's shoulders:

"Lao Zhu, save your breath. Su Meinu has already been promoted from employee to secretary. Look at your 300 pounds, do you really expect the Great God to help you instead of Su Meinu?"

After receiving Yang Shan's "favoritism," Su Yitang defiantly raised her head, her pretty face full of pride.

Although Yang Shan is currently the most popular male player in the entire server, countless female players want to win his Yang Shan.

The most outrageous one is Yu Feifei, who looks like the visual center of a popular girl group. She has both good looks and a great figure, and she even offered Yang Shan an exorbitant dowry, which Yang Shan refused!

Only Su Yitang could receive Yang Shan's favoritism!

Yi Qingyang caught a glimpse of Su Yitang's radiant expression out of the corner of his eye.

It wasn't just "bleeding" in his heart, it was "bleeding profusely"! But Yi Qingyang was quite open-minded about it.

Su Yitang has relatively little exposure on the forum, but her popularity remains high.

Many players have said that Su Yitang's screenshots are okay, but not particularly stunning at first glance.

But once you look at Su Yitang's third-party perspective video and turn the static footage into a dynamic one, you can immediately see that Su Yitang's face is flawless from any angle!

After the recording was turned off, whenever he saw any words related to Su Yitang on the forum, Su Yitang's image would unconsciously appear in his mind.

Some even used a word that seems unrelated to beauty to describe Su Yitang's face: clear!

This word received unanimous praise from Su Yitang's fans.

Love at first sight can often be equated with lust at first sight.

Yi Qingyang realized that his desire for Su Yitang stemmed entirely from his lust for her impeccable beauty.

However, Yi Qingyang has strict requirements for himself in this regard.

If love cannot blossom, Yi Qingyang will absolutely not allow himself to fall too deeply into it.

So, Yi Qingyang could only silently say in his heart, "Brother Yang, you really deserve to die!"

After a satisfying meal, Yang Shan and the others logged off to rest.

When Yang Shan logged back in and opened the door, he saw Yue Mei already waiting at the door.

"This humble servant greets Your Excellency, the True Lord!"

Yue Mei's outfit today is even bolder than before! If her collar were just an inch lower, Yang Shan is sure the system would give him a "health warning"! Having experienced too much, Yang Shan's immunity to beauty has basically reached its limit, otherwise he wouldn't have done something like kicking Medusa.

Of course, we still have to watch it.

Scientific research has shown that when men admire beautiful women, their optic nerves, eye muscles, and retina rapidly adjust, accelerating blood circulation around the eyes, thus achieving the effect of brightening the eyes and refreshing the mind.

Furthermore, men who spend some time looking at beautiful women every day tend to have more stable blood pressure, a slower pulse, and experience increased dopamine secretion, which promotes blood circulation and significantly reduces their risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Therefore, in order to live a long life and reduce the risk of disease, Yang Shan also needs to insist on looking at beautiful women every day! Yue Mei naturally noticed that Yang Shan was looking at her, and was secretly delighted:

"The Queen has specially ordered me to come and wait."

Yang Shan: "Does the Queen have something to discuss with me?"

Yue Mei: "The Queen has broken through to the Dou Zong. Mulan Valley has temporarily retreated. The Queen said that we should properly thank the True Lord!"

Yang Shan said calmly, "Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Yang Shan then noticed that when Yue Mei was almost at the courtyard gate, she took out a light gauze cloak from her Storage Ring and draped it over her shoulders, covering her barely-there clothes! Yue Mei explained, "In the True Lord's courtyard, I felt relaxed, so I was a little more casual. Please forgive me, True Lord."

This explanation was so deliberate, it was practically saying, "I'm showing it to you!" Yang Shan was usually quite easygoing, so he replied:

"You may feel free to do as you please in my courtyard; I do not mind."

Yue Mei: "Thank you for your understanding, True Lord!"

[Ding! Yue Mei feels she has finally gained your attention using her beauty. Overjoyed, Yue Mei favorability rating increases by 3. Current favorability rating: 43.]

Ignoring the other person's beauty until after multiple interactions before giving them affirmation is a very effective tactic! Yang Shan used it on Ya Fei, Xiao Xun'er, and Yun Yun.

Both have some effect.

After all, beautiful women also have self-awareness. Ignoring someone's beauty is equivalent to breaking their perception, which may naturally arouse their curiosity.

Of course, this requires patient groundwork time and time again, and the prerequisite is that the other party is willing to actively trigger multiple interactions for this tactic to be effective.

Using it on important NPCs like Ya Fei might only yield 1 point of favorability.

But Yue Mei is different. Yue Mei is easier to win over, and the difference in status between Yang Shan and Yue Mei is huge! Yang Shan is on the same level as Medusa Queen, while Yue Mei's status is much lower.

Furthermore, Medusa Queen personally ordered that Yue Mei serve Yang Shan well!

Therefore, in a sense, Yue Mei is the first NPC who, despite her low status, fawns over Yang Shan!

After countless attempts and failures, finally, "hard work pays off," and he gained Yang Shan's approval! This is somewhat similar to the treatment players receive in the Novice Realm! It can only be said that Tian Yao Company is too willing to please players. As long as a player's status and strength are sufficient, there will definitely be low-status NPCs groveling before them.

However, Yang Shan is indeed quite powerful, and the one who fawns over him is Yue Mei, a beauty from the original novel!

If Xiao Aotian found out about this, he would definitely find something to burn with the Fallen Heart Flame.

He was still considering that since he couldn't handle Medusa Queen for the time being, he should settle for getting his hands on Hua She'er first.

Before Hua She'er's situation was even settled, Yue Mei, whose status was similar to hers, was already fawning over Yang Shan!

Yue Mei led Yang Shan to the reception room outside the Serpent-People Temple.

In the reception room, Medusa Queen sat in the main seat.

Her lower body was no longer snake-shaped.

The silhouette outlined by the sheer skirt is breathtaking.

Even Xiao Yu, who has a distorted narcissism about her beautiful legs, would probably pale in comparison.

If we really want to compare her to a popular NPC, then Han Yue, the second most beautiful girl in the Jia Nan Academy, might be able to rival Medusa Queen, especially with the "black stockings bonus".

In the guest seats in front of Medusa Queen sat Xiao Aotian, Yi Qingyang, and Lucky Poison Hand.

The three guest elders made significant contributions to the Serpent-People tribe Serpent-People tribe this crisis.

Therefore, Medusa Queen summoned the three of them to reward them for their contributions.

The three of them also gained an additional 1 point of favorability from Medusa Queen.

"Xiao Aotian, I heard that you killed the Fifth Elder of Mulan Valley on the front lines, and that you, as a Nine-Star Dou Wang, killed a two- Dou Emperor. Your potential is quite impressive!"

Receiving praise from Medusa Queen, Xiao Aotian's lips curled into a wide smile that reached his temples.

"Not at all, Your Majesty flatters me. But I am indeed very strong, after all, I possess the Fallen Heart Flame!"

The Lucky Poison Hand in the back couldn't help but complain to Yi Qingyang:

"Look how capable he is!"

Yi Qingyang: "If you have Heavenly Flames, you can too!"

Lucky Poison Hand: "This is tough! I switched from wood to poison, and I haven't found a single Strange Wood! I don't even know if any of them are poisonous! I'm really worried!"

Yi Qingyang whispered:

"I did trigger the opportunity of obtaining a rare metal, which cost me five points of Good Fortune. Unfortunately, there's no follow-up yet, so I'll have to wait a while longer."

Lucky Poison Hand: "Good heavens! Making a fortune in silence, huh?"

Yi Qingyang and Lucky Poison Hand were discussing the Heaven and Earth Oddities, while Xiao Aotian was still bragging to Medusa Queen.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, now that I've become a guest advisor, I will naturally lend a hand when the time comes. Once I break through to the Dou Emperor, my combat strength will surely increase significantly!"

As Xiao Aotian spoke, a smile appeared on Medusa Queen's face.

This filled Xiao Aotian with immense joy. "Could it be that Medusa Queen likes my type? I just casually showed off, and she laughed?"

The next second, Medusa Queen stood up and walked gracefully toward Xiao Aotian.

Xiao Aotian's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of his chest.

"Here it comes! My chance has come! Yang One-Blade, so what if you got Ya Fei? I have Medusa!"

"It's here! It's getting closer and closer! Holy crap, this is the first time I've seen Medusa up close like this, she's absolutely stunning! I'm waiting for the ' Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship' pairing to be implemented."

As Xiao Aotian was wildly imagining things, Medusa floated past him and said, "Little Friend Yang Shan Xiao Aotian, you've finally arrived."

In that instant, Xiao Aotian felt as if he had been struck head-on by Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning! His inner world collapsed instantly!

Xiao Aotian was almost unable to control the killing intent within him!

When he stiffly turned his head, he saw that Yue Mei was following behind Yang Shan. Yue Mei was completely in the manner of a maid, respectfully following behind Yang Shan.

Xiao Aotian had already placed his hand on the Ruler Hilt: "Damn it! Yang Shan, you really deserve to die! You really deserve to die!"

Yang Shan was unaware that Xiao Aotian had such a rich inner world; he even greeted Xiao Aotian:

"Hey, Mr. Xiao, you're here too!"

Xiao Aotian forced a smile:

"Yes, yes, Boss Yang, what a coincidence."

Xiao Aotian forced himself to calm down.

You have to stay calm.

"We really can't beat them!" Medusa Queen said to Yang Shan with a smile.

"Little Friend Yang Shan, the Serpent-People tribe is in great crisis this time, and we are very grateful for your help. I really don't know how to repay you."

Yang Shan waved his hand. "Don't talk about these things. I've already said, just keep the accounts."

Medusa Queen: "But if you don't order anything, I will feel uneasy."

Yang Shan: "No, there's nothing about your Serpent-People tribe that I find appealing! My friendship with you is solely due to your potential Medusa Queen!"

Lucky Poison Hand, that chatterbox, moved to Xiao Aotian's side again:

"Boss Xiao, Yang Shan is such a good actor!"

Xiao Aotian's teeth were almost ground to powder:

"Yeah, he's really putting on an act!"

These three guest advisors had to appease Medusa.

Yang Shan is doing well; now that he's here, Medusa has to appease him!

Is the difference in status really that big? Xiao Aotian originally wanted to leave; he really didn't want to stay here, but curiosity compelled him to stay.

He really wanted to see how Yang Shan interacted with Medusa Queen Medusa Queen favor.

Seeing that Yang Shan was unyielding, Medusa Queen was also very distressed.

Although she had already broken through to the Dou Zong, Yun Shan's previous experiences were still vivid in her mind.

With Ink Iron Marshal's assistance, Yang Shan is more than capable of challenging low- Dou Zong! Moreover, Yang Shan can refine Break Sect Pill and Break Emperor Pill, which would be of great help to the Serpent-People tribe.

Medusa Queen was proud and arrogant, but she was not ungrateful.

You can't afford to offend Yang Shan!

Yang Shan took out Favor Record: "Your Majesty, please hurry up and write it down, I am very busy!"

Xiao Aotian couldn't hold back any longer and sent a message to Yang Shan through his friends list. "Boss Yang, are you really not playing with fire? Is this how you treat Medusa?"

Yang Shan: "What else?"

Xiao Aotian: "At least... at least be a little more polite, right?"

Yang Shan: "What's the point of being polite to Medusa?"

Xiao Aotian: "."

Yang Shan's answer left Xiao Aotian speechless.

Yes!

What's the point of being polite to Medusa Queen? Xiao Aotian: "Then be as arrogant as you?"

Yang Shan: "I advise you to cherish the goodwill you have earned so hard."

Xiao Aotian: "Why? You're so arrogant, yet Medusa is still so polite to you?"

Yang Shan: "I am the Blade Sovereign, understand?"

"Grass!"

Xiao Aotian really wanted to have a serious talk with Yang Shan, but he ultimately gave up.

Because Yang Shan wasn't bragging; he really is awesome! It's only natural that Medusa Queen was polite to him! The Break Sect Pill was given to him by Yang Shan, Yun Shan was crippled by Yang Shan.

As for the other players, they really don't deserve to be treated like this by the current Medusa Queen!

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Aotian could only utter four words: "You're awesome!"

Among men, these four words truly represent the highest level of affirmation!

You have to admit it!

Medusa Queen ultimately failed to persuade Yang Shan to compromise.

She couldn't very well tell him to his face that she was giving Yue Mei to Yang Shan as a maid, could she?

As the king of the Serpent-People tribe, he should protect them. Sending Yue Mei to serve Yang Shan Serpent-People tribe merely a temporary measure.

Medusa Queen could not bring herself to ask her own people to use such methods to benefit the tribe! Reluctantly, Medusa Queen also recorded this great favor in her Favor Record.

After retrieving the Favor Record, Yang Shan then said:

"Oh, right, I just remembered something Red Sand Continent is now my territory. I would like to trouble the Queen to designate it as a forbidden area, prohibiting anyone from approaching! Including the Serpent-People tribe!"

Medusa Queen: "Absolutely no problem. I am more than willing to help Little Friend Yang Shan!"

Although Medusa Queen had already prepared to seize the rare Red Sand Continent in the Tagor Desert after breaking through to the Dou Zong.

But if it could repay Yang Shan's favor, Medusa Queen was willing to make concessions!

To everyone's surprise, Yang Shan's next words almost choked Medusa Queen to death!

"Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I don't need your help. I'm just reminding you that if anyone enters Red Sand Continent, they will offend me. I'm known for killing without blinking an eye!"

Medusa Queen: "My Serpent-People tribe are the same?"

Yang Shan: "I'm telling you this to avoid any misunderstandings. After all, I can't make all the magical beasts in the Red Sand Continent understand that the Serpent-People tribe should be avoided as much as possible."

Medusa Queen's eyelids twitched. "Little Friend Yang Shan, you mean... you've already captured the magical beasts of the Red Sand Continent?"

Yang Shan: "That's natural. Otherwise, where did the Rat Tide and Insect Tide in the Mulan Valley camp come from?"

Why did Yang Shan, that Old Schemer, make Medusa Queen finish writing the Favor Record before bringing this up?

This was all to prevent Medusa Queen from having the chance to repay the favor! Medusa Queen quickly adjusted her mindset.

She wouldn't turn against Yang Shan because of the Red Sand Continent.

Medusa Queen took a deep breath:

"I understand. Then I would like to cooperate with Little Friend Yang Shan!"

Yang Shan: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Medusa Queen: "I humbly request that Little Friend Yang Shan, allow my Serpent-People tribe to enter Red Sand Continent to collect water and food. In exchange, I will deploy troops to guard the area outside the Red Sand Continent!"

Yang Shan: "This is simple. Let Yue Mei lead some elite Profound Moon Tribe to guard the border long-term. I will go and inform the Red Tail Scorpion Beast in a moment. Then, I will naturally deliver the things the Queen wants to the border!"

The resources of the Red Sand Continent are far from saturated. Giving some water sources and low-grade spiritual plants that are of no value to Yang Shan to the Serpent-People tribe will not cause Yang Shan any loss.

Medusa Queen breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, everything will be done as Little Friend Yang Shan wishes!"

Yue Mei, who had been standing respectfully behind Yang Shan, got another cushy job because of a single sentence from Yang Shan! The Tagor Desert is resource-scarce; water and food are much more precious than in other places!

If we let her lead the elite of the Profound Moon Tribe to garrison the area, wouldn't the supplies sent out, besides supplying the Serpent-People Temple, be prioritized for their tribe?

[Ding! Yue Mei thinks you've been taking extra care of him and has given her a great job. Yue Mei's favorability towards you increases by 2. Current favorability: 45!]

After dealing with the Serpent-People tribe, Yang Shan didn't linger.

He rushed back to the Gama Holy City and handed over Ink Iron Marshal to Tie Yang for repairs.

During this short time, I secretly went to see Ya Fei.

After appeasing Ya Fei, Yang Shan then went to Yun Yun's current secret residence.

At this moment, Yun Yun had just finished her cultivation for the day.

Having regained her spirits, she had a clear goal, so she seemed to have returned to the time when she first joined the Misty Cloud Sect, and she cultivated with extra diligence.

Aside from cultivation, Yun Yun spent most of her time sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought.

"We've known each other for so long, yet I have nothing to show for it, Yang Shan."

"Hmm? Senior Yun Yun, your strength has improved so quickly? You discovered me so easily?"

Yun Yun turned around, and the figure that had been lingering in her heart for so long came into view.

No need to look at objects to think of people, the people are already in front of you. This chapter mainly serves as the ending and transition of the plot. There is nothing important to write about Protector Wu and Yun Yun, so it is just mentioned briefly.

But with only this much content for the day, the Battle Emperor Lord inevitably find it boring.

So Sky stayed up all night to write another chapter.

The author who spoils his readers the most is none other than me!
