Princesses, Setting a Trap for Queen Medusa!

Xiao Chuan had prepared quite a few Adult Gifts for Xiao Yan, including several introductory books on artifact refining and formations.

As long as Xiao Yan mastered them, he would receive system feedback. By then, he would become an Omnipotent Dou Emperor.

He also had the Companion Amethyst Source, which could allow Xiao Yan to obtain and refine Purple Flame, raising him several Minor Realms.

Xiao Chuan wandered outside for quite some time before returning to the Mite'er Family.

Teng Shan had dealt with quite a few visitors. Only after sending them all away did the Mite'er Family finally quiet down.

"Young Master Xiao is back?"

Xiao Chuan nodded. "You've worked hard, Patriarch Teng."

"Not at all. So many people came to visit our Mite'er Family—it's all thanks to Young Master Xiao!" Teng Shan said with a smile.

"Ya Fei is already mine. If the Mite'er Family has any problems it cannot resolve, you can come to me." Xiao Chuan made himself perfectly clear.

As the head of the family, Teng Shan immediately understood. "Then we'll have to rely on Young Master Xiao from now on."

Just as Xiao Chuan was about to leave, three more people suddenly arrived from outside: Mu Chen from before, along with an old man and two young women.

"Master Xiao!"

Mu Chen hurried over. "I was disrespectful before. This is the apology gift we prepared anew. Please accept it."

Xiao Chuan glanced at the gift. It was a fine pill furnace, far better than the one he currently used.

"I stopped taking the earlier matter to heart long ago. Patriarch Mu is too courteous."

"My son Mu Zhan was in the wrong. It is only proper that we offer compensation. As long as Master Xiao has not taken it to heart, that is enough." Mu Chen felt that he had to erase the negative impression Mu Zhan had left on Xiao Chuan, no matter the price.

Teng Shan stepped forward. "Master Xiao, you may not know the others. Let me introduce them."

Xiao Chuan nodded.

"This is Jia Xingtian the Elder of the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family. He is also a Dou Emperor Expert."

Teng Shan then introduced the two young women. "These two are Princesses of the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family: the First Princess Yao Ye and the Youngest Princess Yao Yue."

"Master Xiao, we meet again." Yao Yue's eyes sparkled as she looked at Xiao Chuan. She herself was an Alchemy Genius, but compared to Xiao Chuan, she fell far short.

Xiao Chuan remembered that this Xiao Yao Yue had seemed to be standing nearby when he was at the Alchemist Guild.

"Greetings, Master Xiao." Yao Ye was not as enthusiastic as Yao Yue. Even in her aloofness, she wore a modest smile.

They were Sisters. Yao Yue had not fully grown up yet, so she still looked like a child.

Yao Ye was different. She had always cultivated in the military, and her entire bearing was cold and stern. Yet that was precisely what would stir a man's Desire for Conquest.

As Xiao Chuan nodded in response, Jia Xingtian joined the conversation. "Master Xiao, we came to ask you for a favor."

"What favor?"

"You are a Tier 6 Alchemist. We would like to ask you to refine a Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill for our Imperial Family." Jia Xingtian continued, "Our Imperial Family will reward you generously!"

Xiao Chuan stroked his chin. "I can refine it, but I do not have the time right now."

"Then how confident are you, Master Xiao?"

Although Jia Xingtian could ask Pill King Gu He to refine it, the medicinal ingredients were extremely precious. Naturally, they would choose a Tier 6 Alchemist with the highest chance of success.

"One hundred percent."

Xiao Chuan's answer greatly shocked Jia Xingtian. Even Pill King Gu He would not dare say such a thing.

This showed that—

Xiao Chuan's pill-refining skill was absolutely above Pill King Gu He's.

Jia Xingtian said respectfully, "We have already prepared all the ingredients. We will await Master Xiao's pill refinement at any time."

Xiao Chuan knew that Jia Xingtian wanted to refine the Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill to treat the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Beast.

The Deep Sea Flood Dragon Beast was the Guardian Divine Beast of the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family, a Sixth-Order Water Attribute Magical Beast whose peak strength rivaled that of an Eight Star Dou Emperor.

It was one of the Jia Ma Empire's Top Combat Power.

"Since Master Xiao has matters to attend to, we shall not disturb you further." Jia Xingtian took the Sisters and bid farewell, with Mu Chen following right behind.

After coming outside, Jia Xingtian looked at Yao Ye and Yao Yue. "What do you two think of Master Xiao?"

Although the Imperial Family was the most powerful force in the entire Jia Ma Empire, if Xiao Chuan truly grew stronger, even the entire Imperial Family might not be worth mentioning.

Yao Ye and Yao Yue were both meant to be married off eventually. Jia Xingtian felt that if they could win Xiao Chuan over, it would be for the best.

"Great Grandfather, do you want to give us to Master Xiao?" Yao Ye asked.

Yao Yue immediately raised her hand. "I'm willing to marry Master Xiao. I just don't know whether he would be willing."

Yao Ye, however, gave a bitter smile. "His talent is so extraordinary. He will not remain bound to the Jia Ma Empire, and he may not think much of us. Great Grandfather, you should stop fantasizing."

Jia Xingtian shook his head and sighed. He knew that Xiao Chuan and Ya Fei of the Mite'er Family had already gotten together.

Still, he wanted them to win Xiao Chuan over. It would count as preparing another path for the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family.

"Great Grandfather, I will cultivate diligently and protect the Jia Ma Empire!" Yao Yue declared solemnly.

Jia Xingtian nodded, though there was still a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Two days quickly passed.

Xiao Chuan's promise had been incredibly effective. They had even found the ingredients needed for the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill that Hai Bo Dong required.

With that, Hai Bo Dong was only one final step away. As long as he could obtain the Sand Mandala, his cultivation could return to the peak of his youth.

Ya Fei had wanted to see Xiao Chuan off, but she simply could not get away. She had not gone to the Mittal Auction House for three days already.

After leaving his room, Xiao Chuan arrived at the family's entrance, where Hai Bo Dong had been waiting for quite some time.

At that moment, a Graceful Figure approached through the sky in the distance and soon landed before them.

Teng Shan was greatly shocked when he saw her. Wasn't this Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect?

Hai Bo Dong was the same. He had not known that Xiao Chuan had this connection as well—he had even summoned the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Since everyone is here, let's go!"

Xiao Chuan flew with Hai Bo Dong, while Yun Yun flew alone. During that time, they did not exchange a single word.

Yun Yun had initially wanted to surpass Xiao Chuan in speed, but she quickly recalled her previous encounter with the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

He had escaped while pursued by an Aerial Overlord like the Amethyst Winged Lion King. His flying speed was certainly no slower than hers.

Thus, she abandoned the idea.

Yun Yun felt that Xiao Chuan had not invited her here for anything good. "Why did you ask me to come?"

Xiao Chuan then told the two of them about their plan.

"This is the only way." Hai Bo Dong had searched for so long without finding it. It was entirely possible that it was within the Snake-People Tribe's settlement.

Xiao Chuan looked at the two of them. "So, you two are responsible for spreading the news far and wide. Then wait for my good news."

"Xiao Chuan, is the information you found about the Heavenly Flames real?" Hai Bo Dong asked curiously.

Xiao Chuan smiled. "Honest Dealing. Otherwise, how could I lure Queen Medusa out?"

"You're ruthless indeed, using a real Heavenly Flames to lure Queen Medusa." Hai Bo Dong gave him a thumbs-up.

Xiao Chuan instructed them seriously, "Remember, you must follow my plan exactly. I'll head to the Snake-People Tribe's settlement first and lie in wait."

"Alright!"

Yun Yun and Hai Bo Dong nodded.
