Hiss!

On Misty Cloud Mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun sucked in a sharp breath.

She rubbed her eyes vigorously, making sure she was not hallucinating.

"Is our Jia Ma Empire really so blessed with talent?" Yun Yun felt reality had become utterly fantastical.

The Northwest Continent was vast, and the Jia Ma Empire was merely one of several empires in a corner of the southwest, hardly noteworthy.

Even compared to several neighboring empires, it was somewhat inferior. Both the Luo Yan Empire and the Chu Yun Empire had Dou Zong experts overseeing them. Although the Mu Lan Empire had no Dou Zong, it possessed the Mu Lan Three Elders, who could join forces to fight a Dou Zong.

Yet Xiao Ting had "told" her that the Jia Ma Empire had top-tier gifted cultivators such as the Woeful Poison Body and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Although the Woeful Poison Body came with misfortune, and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils belonged to a mixed-blood descendant of Snake-People and humans.

"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python should be Queen Medusa."

After her initial shock, Yun Yun quickly calmed herself and began to think seriously.

Queen Medusa's companion snake-type magical beast was the Purple Nether Flame Snake. Yun Yun vaguely remembered Yun Shan mentioning that, if this magical beast encountered enough opportunities, it could awaken the bloodline of its ancient ancestor and evolve into the ancient magical beast, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

"I wonder who possesses the Woeful Poison Body and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Could they be Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin?" A guess arose in Yun Yun's heart.

If Xiao Yi Xian possessed the Woeful Poison Body and also had close ties with the Child of Luck, then she could be linked to an "unfulfilled regret."

As for Qing Lin, judging from her name alone, she seemed somewhat connected to the Snake-People Tribe. She was highly likely to be that mixed-blood individual with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

"Should I find them in advance?" Yun Yun could not help feeling tempted.

As far as she knew, although those with the Woeful Poison Body did not meet a good end, they could all reach the Dou Zong realm at an extremely fast pace.

If the Misty Cloud Sect had a Dou Zong expert overseeing it, even if only for a few years, it would bring enormous development.

The Woeful Poison Body was an innate poison master. Using one against the Chu Yun Empire would practically be like wielding a divine weapon.

There was even less need to mention the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Its cultivation talent was no weaker than the Woeful Poison Body's, yet it did not come with any "misfortune."

"I can search for them in secret." Yun Yun felt that this matter could not be handled too openly.

If Xiao Ting noticed and deduced that she had a Notebook Copy, the loss would outweigh the gain.

"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python."

Queen Medusa smiled confidently. This was definitely referring to her.

She knew it. She would certainly succeed in using the Heavenly Flames to complete her evolution.

Now that she had obtained the remnant soul and damaged magical core of a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, this was even more certain.

She did not pay much attention to this matter. Instead, she cared more about the owner of the "Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

Everyone knew that this rare talent could only be born among the descendants of Snake-People and humans.

She had once expressly forbidden male Snake-People within the tribe from abducting human women. She had also slaughtered many to warn humans against setting their sights on Snake-People women. Yet such matters could never truly disappear.

"The one with this talent should be that Qing Lin." Medusa began to entertain the thought of abducting her.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were the nemesis of snake-type magical beasts. Not only did Qing Lin herself have boundless prospects, but she could also enslave a whole host of snake-type magical beasts.

For the Snake-People Tribe to develop, it needed not only powerful experts to protect and lead it, but also an endless supply of high-tier snake-type magical beast souls for the younger tribespeople to implant as companion beasts.

To the Snake-People Tribe, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were practically a strategic weapon.

"Looks like I'll have to put some effort into finding her."

Queen Medusa continued on her way, treating the search for the owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and Qing Lin as a top priority.

After all, Qing Lin was the most likely owner of those Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

"The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?"

In the Mo Tie Mercenary Group within Shimo City of the Tagor Desert.

Qing Lin, who was sweeping the courtyard, had her eyes shift slightly. She had a strong premonition that Xiao Ting was talking about her.

But soon, she mocked herself with a smile. "How could someone like me possibly possess a talent acknowledged by Young Master Xiao Ting?"

Qing Lin knew nothing about the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, so she perfectly missed the correct answer.

All she could think about was when Xiao Ting would come to find her.

If he could take her away from this sea of suffering...

"Even if I have to be your personal maid for the rest of my life, that would be enough."

"What exactly does the Jia Ma Empire have!?"

At the Wind Lightning Pavilion in the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range, Feng Qing'er remained stunned for quite some time before recovering.

She did not think much of the Woeful Poison Body. Her clan had clear records stating that its potential could at most reach the Dou Zun realm. While one could grow stronger merely by consuming poison, the faster one grew, the faster one died, eventually becoming a creature driven by the craving for poison.

But the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were different. They were suspected to be connected to the Heavenly Snake Emperor of old and had deep ties to the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python. They were the natural masters of snake-type magical beasts. Their owner had no inherent cultivation limit, or rather, the strength of the snake-type magical beasts she could control was her limit. Her chances of becoming a Saint were extremely high.

There was also the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Though it could not rival the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which stood alongside the Ancient Void Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, it was about on par with the current Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

"I must think of a suitable reason to go and see for myself."

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, the Woeful Poison Body, a descendant of the former Xiao Tribe, and Yao Lao ending up there—there had to be something extraordinary about that place.

The same thought appeared in Cao Ying's mind. She was also considering what excuse she could use to visit the Jia Ma Empire without making Xiao Ting suspicious.

"This Notebook Copy is so infuriating. Why can't I tell anyone about it? At the very least, I should be able to tell Xiao Ting." Cao Ying pouted as she complained.

Inside Yuhua Hall on West Street of Wutan City, Xiao Yi Xian abruptly stood up, her lovely face cycling through several expressions.

The instant she saw "Woeful Poison Body," she was certain it referred to her.

She was naturally close to poison and would occasionally release toxic energy. Did that not perfectly match the words "poison body"?

As for misfortune... that was equally fitting.

"Big Sister Xiao Yi Xian." Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's face gradually lose all color and turn pale, Xun'er immediately made a guess, and a trace of pity rose in her heart.

"Xun'er, how much do you know about the Woeful Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian raised her eyes, looking at Xun'er with a face full of hope.

"This..." Xun'er hesitated.

If she told Xiao Yi Xian about the Woeful Poison Body, she might not be able to endure it.

"Tell me, please." Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and grabbed Xun'er's hand. Her voice trembled, while her determined gaze carried a plea.

"The Woeful Poison Body..." After hesitating for a moment, Xun'er began to explain.

As Xun'er spoke, all color completely drained from Xiao Yi Xian's face.

She subconsciously murmured, "An unfulfilled regret, an unfulfilled regret... so this is what an unfulfilled regret means."

"Perhaps in the story, because of my Woeful Poison Body, I became partners with Xiao Yan, an alchemist, only to die from the Woeful Poison Body in the end."

Upon hearing this, Xun'er immediately comforted her. "Big Sister Xiao Yi Xian, these are only your guesses. They may not necessarily be the predetermined ending of the original course."

"Besides, we have Brother Xiao Ting now. We have encountered extraordinary opportunities."

"The future can definitely be changed!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood. Light bloomed in her eyes as she said to Xun'er, "Little Sister Xun'er, you must help me."

"Tomorrow, I must get to know Xiao Ting."

If she was ultimately destined to end her life in tragedy.

Then why not end it early while she still could, sparing herself the suffering?

Xun'er: "..."

Brother Xiao Ting, look at what you've done to poor Xiao Yi Xian!
