Arriving at the Jia Ma Empire

Zi Yan instantly felt the warmth of Xiao Tian's embrace, and her heart softened in an instant. She quickly shook her head; she was angry right now, how could she just give in like that?

Absolutely not allowed!!

Zi Yan began to struggle and thrash about, almost like trying to catch a pig, and was nearly lost.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong this time. Don't be angry. I've prepared a gift for you."

A Jade Bottle appeared in Xiao Tian's hand, and one could vaguely see that it contained pills of various colors.

"What gift?" Zi Yan immediately stopped struggling and looked at the thing in Xiao Tian's hand with bright eyes.

Seemingly realizing she'd made it too obvious, she forced herself to turn away, saying, "No gift will do; I'm not that easy to forgive you."

"Really? What a waste of such good pills, especially the fruit-flavored one."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes gradually brightened, and she couldn't help but secretly swallow, but she still managed to resist turning away.

Xiao Tian naturally noticed Zi Yan's little trick. He knew Zi Yan's weakness, and this trick always worked on her.

"If nobody wants it, then just throw it away."

"No, I'll forgive you for now since you offered me a gift and begged me. But this is something only you and I can know; no one else can know."

She quickly reached out and snatched the Jade Bottle from Xiao Tian's hand, then couldn't resist pouring out a pill and chewing it.

During this time, she didn't forget to find a comfortable position to lie down in Xiao Tian's arms.

Looking at Zi Yan's adorable appearance, Xiao Tian gently stroked her pigtails: coaxing Zi Yan is the most effective trick, of course, it only works on himself. If it were anyone else, they would have been killed by Zi Yan with a single punch long ago.

Xiao Huiying, who was flying, revealed a strange look in her eyes. She thought to herself: I know everything. I even saw it from beginning to end. I asked you before to dispel your concerns. If you know that I saw it, wouldn't it be even harder to coax Master?

Zi Yan: My sister and I are of one heart, yet you're playing tricks on me?

After flying for half a day, Xiao Tian and his group had entered the territory of the Jiama Empire.

As expected of the Heaven Comet Dragon's flying speed, a journey that would take others four or five months can be covered in just half a day at her speed.

"Comet Shadow, go to the Serpent Clan first."

"Yes, Master."

"Hmm, are we almost there?" Zi Yan, who had fallen asleep in Xiao Tian, slowly opened her eyes upon hearing Xiao Tian's voice.

"Yes, we're almost there. Let's head to the Serpent Clan first."

"Is this Fei Yan Sister's clan? I thought they were going straight to the battlefield. Should we call Fei Yan Sister out?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan instantly became very interested, but she still had a lot of interest in the Medusa race.

"No need for now, we'll talk about it when we get there. If there are no enemies, we'll go straight to the battlefield."

Xiao Tian gently shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan instantly perked up. "I'm going to fight ten Dou Wang later, and I can even fight Dou Emperor. I'll show them the power of my fists!"

"Alright, I'll leave it all to you." Xiao Tian ruffled Zi Yan's purple hair and said affectionately.

He's a true warmonger; he gets all fired up whenever there's a fight.

Xiao Tian simply picked her up with one hand, carried her to the edge, and gazed at the distant scenery.

Zi Yan also kept looking at Xiao Tian's home empire, her eyes full of curiosity.

Black Mountain Fortress.

Cloud Sky Emperor —or rather, Yun Shan and Jia Xing Tian— stood atop the city wall, gazing at the dark, imposing camp in the distance, their eyes filled with apprehension and worry.

"Fortunately, young friend Xiao Yan returned just in time, otherwise it would have been dangerous."

Jia Xing Tian frowned deeply and sighed. He recalled that if Xiao Yan hadn't intervened earlier and severely injured the Mu Lan Three Elders clan, Black Mountain Fortress might have been in danger.

"The intelligence we've gathered points to Three Great Empires, but Yan Luotian hasn't appeared. Could he be making some kind of move?"

Jia Xing Tian looked into the distance and said in a deep voice.

Yun Shan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Yun Shan wasn't particularly worried; he was waiting for rescue. If all else failed, he'd just play the Cloud Sky Emperor. After all, what was his Misty Cloud Sect Master compared to his life?

Below the city walls, a man and two women were standing together.

One of them, dressed in black armor, would sometimes check the army's situation, and sometimes look at the man.

A woman wearing a light blue short skirt leaned against the man, her eyes occasionally glancing warily at the woman in armor.

The man, dressed in a long black robe and carrying a huge ruler on his back, was resting with his eyes closed.

He appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he didn't dare to open them at all, because he also sensed that something seemed off.

The woman in armor was Yao Ye, and the one in the Azure Dress was Nalan Yanran.

As for why Xiao Yan is here, it's because he came back to propose marriage, and unfortunately, he got caught up in this mess.

As a passionate young man, he followed Lion Heart Marshal to Black Mountain Fortress.

Nalan Yanran also realized that Yao Ye seemed to have fallen for her man, and if she wasn't careful, she might be the one to be stolen away.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She reached out and twisted the soft flesh of Xiao Yan's body. Xiao Yan immediately felt the pain from the broken armor, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Yao Ye also noticed the change in Xiao Yan's expression, and she observed what was going on. A slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to rest in my tent? I know a little about healing techniques and might be able to help you."

"No need, I was just thinking about something," Xiao Yan said with a light laugh to Yao Ye.

"Alright then, if Mr. Xiao Yan needs anything, he can always come to me." After saying this, Yao Ye turned and left to continue directing the army's deployment.

"What? You've taken a liking to her? Why don't you try her healing techniques?" Nalan Yanran stared at Xiao Yan with a malicious look.

Xiao Yan secretly groaned and shook his head frantically.

The Serpent Clan, the Snake-People Holy City.

A battle is taking place at this moment, and it's even a one-sided battle.

In a battle where ten people surround one person, the side with more people is often at a disadvantage.

"Yan Luotian, although you are Dou Zong, the Serpent Clan are not a place where you can run wild."

The Third Elder of the Serpent Clan stared coldly at the middle-aged man before him and shouted sharply.

The middle-aged man was none other than Yan Luotian, the Sect Master of the Golden Goose Sect Yan Luotian Sect of the Luoyan Luo Yan Empire.

"I came here to see just how beautiful your Queen is. If she truly satisfies me, I intend to make her my concubine, and then I will offer you, the Serpent Clan, your protection."

"You're courting death!" Upon hearing this, the Eight Great Leaders and Grand Elder of the Serpent Clan flew into a rage and attacked Yan Luotian as if their lives depended on it.

"Eight Serpents Poisonous Seal! Activate!" The Eight Great Leaders joined forces to summon a giant serpent, which was clearly much more powerful than the Five Serpents Poisonous Seal, and struck at Yan Luotian.

The Grand Elder also unleashed their signature Dou Technique.

"Yan Luo Chang Kong!" Yan Luotian threw a punch directly at the three attacks, and a huge golden wild goose crashed into the three attacks.

The three attacks were instantly shattered by the golden goose, turning into countless specks of light that scattered in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the undiminished force surged like a raging wave, instantly sending the ten people flying.

They tumbled helplessly in the air, spitting blood from their mouths, and crashed to the ground in a sorry state some distance away.

"I advise you to hand over Queen Medusa to me, otherwise..."

Just as Yan Luotian was about to issue a threat, he noticed that the ten people he had knocked away were being held up by a force, and then a cold voice came from above:

"Oh, what else? I'm quite curious."
