Ya Fei: Whenever I Think of You, Oh-Ho-Ho, Oh-Ho-Oh~

Three days later, the Snake-Person Tribe's migration plan was finalized, and Xiao Yan was ready to set off for the Imperial Capital.

"The Jia Ma Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect have always been wary of the Snake-Person Tribe. If I were to go in person, it would cause some trouble." Queen Medusa stood atop the city wall, her fingertip lightly touching Xiao Yan's chest, a dangerous smile curving her lips. "You carry the Prince Token and can negotiate on behalf of the Snake-Person Tribe. Besides, your fiancée is in the Imperial Capital, so it wouldn't be convenient for me to go."

Xiao Yan was dressed in a magnificent purple robe adorned with gold accessories. It was a standard robe specially made for Prince Consort by the Snake-Person Tribe. Xiao Yan had ten similar robes in his Storage Ring, all of them matching the Queen Medusa's style. Wearing this outfit made Xiao Yan's already handsome face even more noble, truly giving him the air of a king of his tribe.

Hearing the slight bitterness in Queen Medusa's words, Xiao Yan remained unperturbed, simply smiling as he put his arm around her waist.

"Jealous? My trip to the Imperial Capital was mainly for important business. Sister Ya Fei will also help me advance the Snake-Person Tribe migration. She's my fiancée, and you're my fiancée too. However, we need to discuss our marriage arrangements further."

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa raised an eyebrow noncommittally and gave Xiao Yan a look, letting him guess for himself.

"Don't worry, I won't deliberately delay. After the Snake-Person Tribe completes its migration, I'll ask my father to go to the Snake-Person Tribe to arrange the marriage between the Snake-Person Queen and the Prince Consort. As for Xiao Yan's marriage to Medusa, we can postpone it. What do you think?"

Xiao Yan leaned closer and whispered in Queen Medusa's ear.

Queen Medusa merely snorted softly upon hearing this, her eyes curving slightly as if a smile had appeared, but her beautiful face remained cold and aloof. She reached out and placed a Seven-Colored Scale into his palm.

"If those old fogies are blind and try to harm you, just crush this scale, and I will be there in an instant. Remember, you are now Prince Consort of the Snake-Person Tribe. With me backing you up, you don't need to be timid in your actions."

In fact, Queen Medusa knew that with Xiao Yan's current strength, even if all the experts of the Jia Ma Empire set out together, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat him alone.

She said this mainly because she was quite satisfied with Xiao Yan's answer earlier, and she didn't want Xiao Yan to shoulder all the pressure himself. As long as the Heaven-Swallowing Python's soul didn't cause trouble, she was a genuine Dou Zong powerhouse!

And that was their most powerful wave.

Although she's not as unrelated as Xiao Yan, her combat strength, possessing the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python form, is still considered quite formidable compared to most experts of the same level.

Not far behind the two, Hua She'er and the leaders of the Eight Great Tribes of the Snake-Person Tribe were all lined up in a neat row.

Although their Medusa still maintained a cold expression, her noticeably gentler tone of voice made them inwardly grumble.

It's worth noting that even Hua She'er and Yue Mei, who were closest to the Medusa, rarely experienced such gentle treatment.

All I can say is that His Highness the Prince Consort is truly too powerful!

In front of so many people, he was so affectionately holding Her Majesty the Medusa's waist and whispering in her ear, and the Medusa seemed quite pleased to hear it.

Meanwhile, Hua She'er and Yue Mei were already high on their cravings.

The morning glow spilled across the desert, and the rising sun slowly ascended to mid-sky at the edge of the horizon, perfectly encompassing the figures of Xiao Yan Queen Medusa. The glow enveloped the two, as if draping them in a crimson-gold robe for their impending separation.

To Hua She'er and Yue Mei, the scene was truly breathtaking.

Unlike the other seven rough men who admired Xiao Yan, the two women were more moved by the fact that Her Majesty the Medusa had found a good home, and also happy for the beauty of this moment.

I should get going.

Xiao Yan carefully put away the Seven-Colored Snake Scale that Queen Medusa had given him, his smile fading as he spoke seriously.

Okay, I'll wait for your good news.

A hint of tenderness flickered in Queen Medusa's eyes. She nodded slightly, took a step back, clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and smiled gently.

Upon seeing this, the Hua She'er and the Eight Great Leaders behind her all bowed in unison.

"Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Prince Consort!"

Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly, and blue fire wings popped out from his back. With a flap of his wings, he slowly floated up, looking down at the cold and noble figure on the city wall. After a moment, his gaze swept over the nine figures with considerable auras behind her, and he laughed loudly:

"My friends, when I return, it will be the day the Snake-Person Tribe emerge from the Tagor Desert! That day will not be too far off!"

After he finished speaking, a faint rumble of thunder sounded, and a flash of silver-gray lightning streaked across the sky. A few breaths later, Xiao Yan's figure completely disappeared into the vast and desolate horizon of the Tager Desert.

On the city wall, Queen Medusa's purple eyes gazed silently in the direction he had left. The gentle smile that had just graced her lips gradually faded, replaced by her usual cold and dignified demeanor.

"Medusa Majesty, His Highness the Prince Consort's journey will surely be successful."

Hua She'er stepped forward and spoke respectfully, bringing Queen Medusa back to her senses, which seemed to be drifting away with Xiao Yan.

Queen Medusa slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and swept her eyes over the Eight Great Tribes leaders and Hua She'er standing bowing behind her. Her voice regained its usual cold and authoritative tone:

"Xiao Yan's departure with the Prince Token represents the will of my Snake-Person Tribe. The migration concerns the future of our race and cannot be compromised." She paused, her tone becoming more forceful, carrying the oppressive aura of Dou Zong powerhouse and Medusa's authority. She declared without room for argument, "From this moment forward, the Eight Great Tribes will proceed according to the previous plan, fully tightening their defenses, reorganizing their tribes, and inventorying their supplies. The migration is imminent. Those who slacken or delay will be punished according to the ruthless rules of our race!"

"Yes, Your Medusa!"

Everyone felt a chill and responded in unison, their voices echoing across the silent city walls.

They knew the Medusa's style of doing things well. Migration was a matter of great importance for the survival of the race and could not tolerate the slightest mistake. Even without Queen Medusa saying anything, they knew what to do.

Queen Medusa nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on the direction of the Imperial Capital, a faint glint of fierceness flashing deep within her purple eyes.

Hopefully, those old fogies in the Jia Ma Empire will know what's good for them. If she finds out that anyone dares to cause trouble for Xiao Yan, she really will kill their entire family. Anyway, everyone in the Jia Ma Empire knows her fearsome reputation. If it weren't for Xiao Yan, the Jia Ma Empire might very well be the Snake Empire!

As a Dou Zong expert, she possessed that kind of confidence!

Now we're just waiting for Xiao Yan to return safely with good news.

With these thoughts in mind, Queen Medusa flicked her sleeves, turned around, and walked down the city wall with elegant steps. Her magnificent skirt swept across the stone steps, leaving behind an awe-inspiring silhouette.

The seven leaders looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves:

"I wonder if His Prince Consort's journey was successful..."

"With the Prince Token in hand and Her Medusa's backing, surely the Jia Ma Imperial Family wouldn't dare to go too far?"

"It's said that the old ghost Misty Cloud Sect of the Yun Shan has already gone into seclusion to try and reach a higher level, and that old monster of the Jia Ma Imperial Family is no pushover either..."

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of! If they dare to harm my Prince Consort, Her Majesty the Medusa will really kill them all. Besides, even if we join forces, we can't pose any real threat to Prince Consort Highness. I don't think there should be any major problems!"

Hua She'er and Yue Mei, who were standing to the side, did not participate in the discussion. After exchanging a glance, they nodded in tacit agreement.

Trust Medusa Majesty's judgment!

Prince Consort Highness's abilities and strength are certainly beyond question!

We must also trust His Highness the Prince Consort.

After all...

For some unknown reason, the two of them received Dou Ling Pill as a gift from Xiao Yan.

Therefore, apart from the Medusa, these two were the Snake-Person Tribe who trusted Prince Consort Xiao Yan the most.

Actually, there's nothing special about it. When he transformed into a snake woman and infiltrated the Snake-Person Tribe, he was fortunate to have been taken care of by these two older sisters. This Dou Ling Pill is just what he needs to repay their kindness.

It mainly consisted of ordinary pills, which Xiao Yan himself felt were not presentable.

Moreover, he specifically asked Queen Medusa, Snake-Person Tribe have basically been unable to buy the Dou Ling Pill- Fighting Pill, a kind of pill that helps with cultivation, over the years. Hua She'er and Yue Mei have never had the opportunity to enjoy this kind of pill, so there is no need to worry about the pill's effects diminishing after taking it.

The difficulty of refining a mere Dou Ling Pill is not high for Xiao Yan now, and it is just right to use it to repay a debt of gratitude.

But for Hua She'er and Yue Mei, this was an inexhaustible debt of gratitude they could never repay to the Prince Consort.

If it weren't for the fact that His Prince Consort was the Medusa's man, both of them would have wanted to offer themselves to him directly.

Handsome, talented, strong, fierce in battle, an expert in alchemy, and upright—he's a true all-rounder, practically the perfect template for the other half.

Come to think of it, for Medusa of her status, having two personal maids shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Hua She'er and Yue Mei exchanged a glance, unable to resist indulging in wishful thinking.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking; they wouldn't dare compete with Her Medusa for a man!

You'll die!

Jia Ma Holy City, the Imperial Capital.

Deep within the Mittel Family headquarters, in a luxurious study.

Wearing a red, fitted cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her mature charm, Ya Fei was working at her desk.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she rapidly moved the fingers of an exquisite white jade abacus, producing a crisp and melodious "click-clack" sound. She was calculating the vast financial records of the Mittel Family and the preliminary budget framework for future trade with the Snake-Person Tribe.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the study door.

"Come in."

Ya Fei didn't even look up before speaking.

A maidservant pushed open the door and entered, her face full of respect. "Young Clan Chief, we have just received the latest secret message from the Tager Desert."

Ya Fei paused, her hands moving the abacus, and looked up at her, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Speak quickly!"

"The secret message indicates that a few days ago, the Snake-Person Holy City experienced a strong energy fluctuation, suggesting that powerful figures were engaged in battle. The leaders of the Eight Great Tribes were also not in their tribes, most likely having gone to the Holy City."

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei nodded knowingly. She knew that Xiao Yan had arrived at the Snake-Person Tribe and was making arrangements for their affairs.

Although he didn't know how far his relationship with Queen Medusa had progressed, if Queen Medusa had also awakened her memories like him, the Snake-Person Queen would most likely not refuse what Xiao Yan wanted to do. Moreover, this was a good thing for the Snake-Person Tribe, so Queen Medusa couldn't possibly disagree.

However, since the message was from several days ago, it seems that Xiao Yan has almost finished his business. In that case, he should be arriving in the Imperial Capital in the next few days, right?

Thinking of this, Ya Fei immediately spoke up:

"Pass on my order: mobilize all the resources of the family to closely monitor all entrances and exits to the Imperial Capital, especially those coming from the direction of the Tager Desert! I need to know as soon as possible whether Xiao Yan has entered the city!"

Upon hearing this, the maidservant acknowledged and withdrew without asking who Xiao Yan was.

Because Xiao Yan's appearance had already spread throughout the Mittel Family through portraits and images.

After all, he is the husband of Ya Fei, the young Clan Chief, and the son-in-law to whom the Mittel Family has staked everything. If a misunderstanding arises because they don't know him, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

In fact, this matter was ordered personally by Mittel Teng Shan.

This is not a rare occurrence. It is said that several hundred years ago, there was a family in the Imperial Capital whose dissolute son did not recognize his family's nobleman and humiliated him in every way, causing the nobleman to leave in anger. As a result, the family declined and perished because it lost the nobleman's help.

This story was told to Mittel Teng Shan by Hai Bodong when he was young.

He was very curious at the time and asked Hai Bodong what he would do if he were that important person.

At that time, Hai Bodong had a sneer on his face and said that if it were him, he would kill that dandy's family directly.

If the family members are reasonable and praise him for doing a good job, he is willing to help the family; if they harbor resentment, he will walk away; if they dare to speak up for those who deserve to die, or even speak ill of them, he will not hesitate to kill them all.

After listening, Mittel Teng Shan's attitude towards Hai Bodong became even more respectful.

For the Mittel Family, Hai Bodong was a benefactor, someone who had practically given them a second chance at life, so they couldn't afford to be negligent.

Moreover, Mittel Teng Shan also knew that some of the elders' children in the clan were not only incompetent, but also brainless, and their age was about the same as Xiao Yan's. If they happened to meet and said something they shouldn't, wouldn't that bring shame to the clan?

Despite the connection with Ya Fei, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan still quite tolerant of the Mittel Family. But wouldn't it be a huge loss if he damaged his relationship with the Mittel Family because of such a fool?

The Mittel Family has endured to this day, learning from history and establishing many rules, behind which lie bloody lessons learned.

After the maid left, Ya Fei wanted to lower her head and continue handling her affairs, but her longing for Xiao Yan made her somewhat restless.

Come to think of it, it's been a while since she's seen Xiao Yan.

That's a strange thought.

For some reason, Ya Fei's pretty face flushed slightly. After a moment, she stood up and decided to go home, take a shower, and change into some elegant clothes.

After that, she would use an ice-attribute Dou Qi Gauze to cover herself, ensuring that she would not sweat or get any dust on her.

She wanted to be in her best condition to welcome the arrival of her beloved!
