Infiltrating the Snake-Person Tribe Temple

When Xiao Yan regained some consciousness, he heard a conversation coming from afar.

How badly are her injuries?

"My lord, her injuries have been almost completely healed. It seems she was attacked by a powerful human and managed to escape, fleeing all the way back."

"Yes, Medusa Majesty seems to be in seclusion during this period. When I went to pay my respects, I only met with Hua She'er, the captain of Medusa Majesty's guard. According to her, Medusa Majesty seems to intend to expand the size of the guard and has requested that the Eight Great Tribes select outstanding members to participate in the selection..."

"Sir, do you mean to let her participate in the selection as well?"

"Hmm, this girl has a good appearance and figure, no wonder she was targeted by humans. The fact that she managed to escape shows that she's clever. Let her give it a try."

"Yes, sir, I will tell her when she wakes up."

Queen's Guard?

Xiao Yan's mind gradually cleared as he sorted through the information he had just heard, and he was overjoyed.

It's truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly."

Joining the guard would be a great opportunity for him!

As the powerful aura at the doorway receded into the distance, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and looked around. What came into view was a rather exquisite room.

At a table not far away sat a familiar-looking Snake-People, the female leader of the guard team we had seen earlier.

"You're awake? Don't worry, you're safe now. We're on the outskirts of the temple. This is where Lady Yue Mei's guards live; no human will dare to intrude."

The Snake-People- woman smiled at Xiao Yan in a friendly manner.

"Is this the outer perimeter of the temple where Her Majesty the Medusa resides?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked bewildered, but quickly revealed a hint of excitement at his impending successful pilgrimage.

"Yes, I am Yue Mei, the captain of the guard under Lady Yue Ying. What is your name, and which tribe are you from?"

Yue Ying asked with a smile.

"My name is Hong Yan. I don't know which tribe I belong to. As far back as I can remember, I've been wandering around the desert. Later, in the desert near Mo City, I was captured by a human powerhouse at the Dou Ling level and imprisoned in a cage. Every now and then, he would draw some of my blood. Two months ago, I escaped while he was fighting with someone and had no time to spare."

Xiao Yan had already prepared the script and began to enter his "actor mode." On his pure and innocent face, he showed the same pitiful expression as Qing Lin, tears welled up in his eyes, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he were recalling some terrible past.

Seeing the Snake-People girl's tearful appearance, Yue Ying felt quite sorry for her and stepped forward to hug her.

Suddenly embraced by the snake woman dressed in only a few pieces of cloth, and feeling two soft mounds on his face, Xiao Yan, the young virgin, stiffened, his tail even hardening slightly.

Yue Ying thought Xiao Yan had developed psychological trauma from being imprisoned for too long. Xiao Yan sighed for her poor little sister and hugged him even tighter, gently patting his back to comfort him.

"Don't worry, no one will bully you anymore. Lady Yue Mei plans to send you to participate in the selection for the Queen's Guard. If you succeed, you will stay here. This is the safest place for the Snake-Person Tribe."

Xiao Yan didn't speak, because he couldn't breathe.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Yue Ying realized her mistake and apologetically released Xiao Yan.

"Thank you, Sister Yue Ying, but can I really participate in the Queen's Guard selection? After all, my strength isn't that great..."

Xiao Yan is quite cultured; when he's acting, he goes all the way.

"Strength can be cultivated, but your looks are truly a gift. If you were a few years older, I wonder how many people you would charm."

Yue Ying smiled and patted Xiao Yan's waist, saying...

How strange...

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, but a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

"I don't care about any of that. I just want to live well, become strong, and then kill that old bastard!"

Seeing this, Yue Ying nodded and said softly, "You should rest and recuperate first. I'll go tell Lady Yue Mei that you've woken up."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Yue Ying."

Xiao Yan nodded obediently and watched Yue Ying leave the house.

"Hehe, you may say no, but your body says otherwise..."

"But you're quite the talent to come up with such a method, and you're really lucky. You just happened to catch the Queen's Guard expanding its recruitment. If you can sneak in, not only will the Sand Mandala be within your grasp, but you might even get to personally serve Queen Medusa while she changes clothes..."

The Old Yao's frivolous laughter echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

"I don't want to die!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan thought to himself helplessly.

After all, it's only Fifth-grade Pill. It's already extremely difficult to fool Dou Wang expert. Do you really think you can fool the Snake-Person Queen, who is at the Peak Dou Emperor?

They're really asking for it!

"Alright, since you're going to participate in the selection, you need to do some preparation. You need to master some basic Dou Technique and abilities of the Snake-Person Tribe, otherwise if you use the Eight Extremities Collapse as soon as you make a move, you'll be exposed immediately."

The Old Yao said with a smile.

"Teachers even have things like this?"

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

"Nonsense, of course not. I secretly collected some while you were sleeping soundly."

After speaking, Old Yao directly channeled a wealth of information into Xiao Yan's mind.

"Tsk, although alchemy isn't very reliable, at least there's something else that's reliable, so it's alright, I guess."

After processing all that information, Xiao Yan sighed.

"Hmph, you don't know how lucky you are. You should be thanking me!"

The Old Yao snorted coldly and said indifferently.

"You're welcome."

Xiao Yan pursed his lips, then focused on cultivating the Snake-Person Tribe Dou Technique collected by Old Yao.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yue Ying also found Yue Mei.

"My lord, she's awake. She's yet another pitiful victim of human persecution..."

As Yue Ying spoke, she told Yue Mei the story that Xiao Yan had just made up for her.

"Mo City?"

Yue Mei seemed lost in thought.

That place doesn't belong to any of the Eight Great Tribes' territories, so it's impossible to determine which tribe this person named Hong Yan belongs to. Judging from his tail, he might be from the Flame Snake Tribe, but the Flame Snake Tribe is extremely far away from Mo City.

However, it seems there is indeed a Dou Ling level expert in Mo City. More than ten years ago, when she was still at the Dou Ling level, she fought against that person. That person seems to have the Medusa's seal on him. It seems that he captured people to break the Medusa's seal?

In that light, it's no wonder that this Hong Yan ended up in human hands, still a virgin...
