Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa's Relationship Was Far from Simple

As soon as Xiao Yan stepped outside, he saw Hai Bodong and Lu Man looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a new species.

???

He was completely bewildered and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yan asked.

Where is Queen Medusa?

Hai Bodong looked behind Xiao Yan and asked.

"You've gone back, haven't you?"

Xiao Yan certainly couldn't tell the truth, so he just gave a casual reply.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong breathed a sigh of relief; that was terrifying!

Don't be fooled by how brave he seemed just now.

However, he also relied on his shrewd insight to see that the relationship between Xiao Yan Queen Medusa was not simple, which is why he dared to say that.

To be honest, it didn't really sound like a threat; it was more of a show of loyalty.

But she was still quite frightened by Queen Medusa's gaze.

That woman was terrifying!

He's already reached the Dou Zong!

"What exactly is your relationship with Queen Medusa?"

Hai Bodong didn't dare ask that question, fearing the woman would hold a grudge, but Lu Man wasn't afraid and asked directly.

"Uh, what kind of relationship? I'm not sure either, a cooperative relationship?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and then said.

As soon as he said that, he saw Hai Bodong and Lu Man roll their eyes at him.

Can a partnership allow you to rest your head on someone's lap?

I don't believe you!

"Wow, awesome!"

Hai Bodong had already figured it out: Xiao Yan's relationship with Queen Medusa was definitely not innocent.

"Tsk, to be able to win over Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan is truly remarkable."

Lu Man couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Ahem, you can't just say things like that!"

Xiao Yan didn't really care about what Lu Man said.

However, the soul of a certain Medusa inside the Heaven-Swallowing Python in his sleeve could not tolerate such idle gossip and was already preparing to reappear.

Xiao Yan shook his arm, signaling the Heaven-Swallowing Python to give him some strength, and then immediately changed the subject.

"Thank you so much, Elder Hai and Sister Lu Man, for protecting me last night. Now that I've completed my cultivation, it's time to leave. Elder Hai, would you like to come with me?"

Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

"Well, there's nothing worth lingering here. You've destroyed that Ice Cave thoroughly enough, saving me the trouble. Let's go. I'll take you to the Mittel Auction House."

Hai Bodong nodded, then led Xiao Yan and Lu Man out of the Ancient Map Shop and headed straight for the Mittel Auction House without any hesitation.

That's just his nature. This so-called secluded place is just a temporary stop. Even though he's been here for over twenty years, he still doesn't have much emotional attachment to it.

His roots, in the end, are still in the Mittel Family.

Soon, led by Elder Hai, Xiao Yan and Lu Man entered the Miter Auction House located in Mo City.

Hai Bodong casually summoned a maid, informed her, and then led Xiao Yan and the other person to the reception room.

A moment later, Ya Fei, dressed in a red cheongsam, pushed open the door and entered.

"Wow, Xiao Yan's aura has become much stronger. It seems he encountered quite a fortuitous opportunity in the desert!"

She said with a smile.

"Sister Ya Fei has become even more beautiful in the few months I haven't seen her."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan stood up to greet him, smiling as he spoke.

"Elder Hai, is that your breath?"

Since they practiced the same cultivation method, Ya Fei was naturally able to sense that Hai Bodong's aura was significantly stronger than before.

"Hmm, this kid has successfully refined the Break-Obstacle Pill, and my seal has also been broken. I've now recovered to the Dou Emperor level."

Hai Bodong said with a smile.

"Congratulations to Elder Hai, Ya Fei! You've finally regained your former strength."

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's face lit up with joy.

It's important to understand that the Mittel Family hasn't had Dou Huang expert in charge for far too long. Now that Elder Hai has returned, the Mittel Family finally has a chance to return to its former glory.

Moreover, Elder Hai had treated her well, and she regarded Elder Hai as her teacher, so naturally she hoped that he could recover his strength as soon as possible.

"Hehe, it's not a complete recovery. After all, I've been sealed for so many years, so my strength has declined somewhat."

Hai Bodong waved his hand and said.

"That's already very good. As for restoring him to his peak condition, we can find another way. I believe that as an alchemist, Xiao Yan will definitely have the corresponding methods."

Ya Fei smiled upon hearing this, showing no concern whatsoever.

"I do have some skills in this matter, but let's discuss it later. Sister Ya Fei, could you please send someone to fetch Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin? I have some things to tell them."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, then his expression turned serious as he spoke.

"Good!"

Seeing Xiao Yan become serious, Ya Fei immediately suppressed her smile, called over a maid, gave her an order, and then nodded to Xiao Yan.

"Sister Ya Fei, let me introduce you. This is Elder Lüman of the Heavenly Lu Man Heavenly Snake Mansion. She is also a Dou Huang expert."

Xiao Yan also introduced Lu Man to Ya Fei.

"So it's a senior from the Heavenly Snake Mansion? Ya Fei greets Elder Lu Man Barbarian!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei bowed to Lu Man.

"Hehe, Sister Ya Fei, you're too kind. I have a good relationship with Brother Xiao Yan. You can just call me 'sister.' Calling me 'senior' makes me feel old!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Man covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Then let's do as Sister Lu Man says."

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei nodded with a smile, but inwardly she was somewhat wary.

Xiao Yan's luck with women is really good. This Lu Man Barbarian's strength and figure seem to be no less than his own. He just doesn't know what her appearance is like. She shouldn't be too bad. Her only disadvantage is probably her age.

She's young, so she can act mature.

But mature women can't pretend to be young.

However, it seems that Xiao Yan brother doesn't have much interest in her, so she shouldn't be an enemy for the time being.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, footsteps came from outside the door, and Xiao Yi Xian in a white dress and Qing Lin in a light green dress walked in hand in hand. Upon seeing Xiao Yan, the two women's eyes visibly brightened.

"Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin!"

Xiao Yan smiled and stood up to greet him.

"Young Master Yan!"

Xiao Yi Xian simply smiled and nodded, while Qing Lin rushed over and hugged Xiao Yan, her face full of dependence and affection.

Lu Man, who was standing nearby, felt a slight chill in his heart upon seeing this scene. It seemed that Xiao Yan was really not joking.

This little girl is clearly obsessed with Xiao Yan; she's a total fangirl. She's gone to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to cultivate; it's likely that everyone in the Heavenly Snake Mansion will follow Xiao Yan's lead from now on.

But...

She observed carefully, and after seeing the three small dots that were faintly visible in Qing Lin's eyes, her mood immediately brightened.

It really is the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!

Excellent! The Heavenly Snake Mansion is about to take off!

After nodding to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan pulled Qing Lin and came to Lu Man.
