The Four Great Elders
Cai Lin nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Our Snake People Clan is adjacent to the Jia Ma Empire, but our Snake People Clan is much smaller compared to the Jia Ma Empire. If the Chuyun Empire wants to send troops, the Jia Ma Empire will definitely not stand idly by!"
"The Snake People Clan's strength is still too weak. If possible, I plan to form an alliance with the Jia Ma Empire!" Cai Lin said, her lazy eyes slowly sweeping over everyone.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the powerful members of the Snake People Clan changed immediately. Mo Bass was the first to jump out and say, "No! Your Majesty! Our Snake People Clan and humans have always been at odds, and we also have a blood feud with the Jia Ma Empire. How can we form an alliance with the Jia Ma Empire!"
Yan Li nodded and said, "That's right, my Snake People Clan will only fight to the death, we will never ally with the Jia Ma Empire!"
The words had barely left her lips when Cai Lin coldly shouted, "Mo Bass, Yan Li, don't forget, I am the Queen of the Snake People Clan!"
The icy voice sent a chill down everyone's spine. Its extremely authoritative aura forced everyone to lower their heads and remain silent, not daring to utter a single word. Mo Bass and Yan Li were no exception, not daring to say another word!
Yue Mei glanced at the Queen's cold expression on the high throne, and then said, "Queen Majesty, the Chuyun Empire is still unsure whether to send troops. Wouldn't it be too early for us to form an alliance with the Jia Ma Empire now?"
Cai Lin pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need to form an alliance with the Jia Ma Empire now. This is just an idea of mine, and it's something the Snake People Clan will only do when they have no other choice. For now, let's have all the Snake-People from the eight tribes migrate to the royal city, just in case something else happens later!"
Yue Mei nodded slightly, while the other commanders did not speak out against Cai Lin. They all left the hall and returned to their respective tribes to prepare to relocate their tribesmen to the royal city.
Outside the royal city, Mo Bass's back trembled slightly, and his Dou Qi Wings whipped up a whirlwind as he chased after a stern-faced male Snake-People.
"Hei Du Boss!"
Upon hearing Mo Bass's voice, Hei Du, who was flying in mid-air, paused slightly and looked back. "Mo Bass? What is it?"
Mo Bass approached Hei Du Hei Du said, "Let's go together. I also have some things to discuss with Brother Hei Du!"
Hei Du didn't think much of it and simply nodded in agreement. The two of them flew forward together.
Mo Bass asked, "Brother Hei Du, did you see the little girl sitting next to Her Majesty the Queen today?"
Hei Du nodded and said, "I saw it, that girl is no ordinary person!"
Hei Du gave a simple evaluation. After all, he was also Dou Huang expert. Although Little Zi Yan was Dou Wang expert, the power contained within her body was something even he was very wary of!
Mo Bass asked with a hint of skepticism, "Brother Hei Du, what exactly is the relationship between this little girl and Her Queen? Have you noticed that Her Queen has seemed different since her return?"
After a moment of silence, Hei Du nodded and said, "That's right, Her Majesty the Queen doesn't seem so cold-blooded anymore; she seems to have more warmth now!"
Mo Bass said, "That's right. When I accompanied Her Queen to the four elders, I heard some news. Do you know who Her Majesty the Queen has been by her side during this time?"
Hei Du glanced coldly at Mo Bass and said, "Stop playing coy with me, just tell me!"
Mo Bass said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, Her Majesty the Queen said that she has been staying with a human recently, and this human is from the Jia Ma Empire, I think his name is Xiao Yu!"
"Humans?" Hei Du's expression turned somewhat grim.
You should know that Her Majesty the Queen was one of the most averse to humans among the Snake People Clan. It's quite incomprehensible to Hei Du that she would spend so much time with humans now!
Hei Du looked at Mo Bass and said, "Are you suggesting that Her Majesty Queen proposed an alliance with the Jia Ma Empire because of this human?"
"That's not impossible, is it?" Mo Bass said in a deep voice.
Hei Du's cold, triangular eyes narrowed slightly, then he looked at Mo Bass and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go back and relocate our people to the royal city first. I trust Her Queen will make the right decision!"
Mo Bass nodded slightly and said, "Alright, then, Brother Hei Du, I'll be going now!"
Hei Du watched Mo Bass's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and said in a low voice, "Your Queen, would you take a liking to a human?"
The slightly low voice gradually dissipated in the gale, and Hei Du flapped its wings violently, soaring into the distance.
In the Snake People Clan's Grand Hall, only Yue Mei, Hua She'er, and Zi Yan remained. Hua She'er looked at Cai Lin and said, "Queen Majesty, you won't be leaving again after this return, will you? For the past few weeks, everyone in the Snake People Clan has been eagerly awaiting your return. Now that you're back, I believe you will lead our Snake People Clan to new heights!"
Cai Lin looked at Hua She'er and said, "I won't be leaving the Snake People Clan for a while, Hua She'er, you've done a great job!"
Hua She'er quickly bent down and said, "It's what I should do!"
Yue Mei, standing to the side, chuckled, "Her Queen has now broken through to the Dou Zong realm and even cultivated a human form. It seems that Queen Majesty's choice to use Heavenly Flames for evolution was the right one!"
Zi Yan, sitting to one side, asked, "Evolution of Heavenly Flames? Is it the kind of fire that Xiao Yu used?"
Zi Yan had also seen the flames Xiao Yu used when refining pills before. Even she felt a chill run down her spine at those flames, and she really couldn't understand why her Sister Cai Lin had to suffer such pain.
Cai Lin looked at Zi Yan and smiled faintly, "For the sake of evolution and self-preservation, this is what the Snake People Clan -Snake People Clan Queen must do!"
Hua She'er and Yue Mei were astonished to see a slight smile on Queen Majesty's face. In all these years, neither of them had ever seen Queen Majesty smile!
At the same time, they felt heartbroken and aggrieved for Her Queen, simply because she was the Queen of the Snake People Clan, and she had sacrificed so much for the Snake People Clan. Even if she was engulfed by Heavenly Flames, she still wanted to carve out a new world for the Snake People Clan!
Hua She'er and Yue Mei didn't stay long; one had to go back to relocate her people, and the other had to protect the safety of the palace. Cai Lin, on the other hand, led Zi Yan deeper into the palace.
Cai Lin led Zi Yan to a dark cave, from which a chilling aura emanated.
Zi Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Sister Cai Lin, where is this? Are you going in?"
Cai Lin nodded slightly and said, "That's right. If you're not used to it, stay outside for a while!"
Cai Lin naturally noticed Zi Yan's discomfort, but didn't make a fuss about it, and considerately told Zi Yan to wait for her outside.
Zi Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding Sister Cai Lin!"
Cai Lin chuckled softly, "You, stay outside and don't run around!"
"Mmm!" Zi Yan nodded repeatedly in response.
