Outside Serene Water Snake Valley, the spatial vessel was ready.
This time, Xiao Fan did not make a grand spectacle of his departure. He merely gave a few simple instructions regarding the valley's defenses.
Yao Tianhuo remained behind to guard the valley. Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan would accompany him, while Medusa and Qing Lin stayed behind to defend Serene Water Snake Valley.
Holding the reorganized defense map, Qing Lin stood at the valley entrance with slightly reddened eyes. Yet she did not cling to Xiao Fan as she had in the past.
She merely said softly, "Brother Xiao Fan, I'll protect this place."
Xiao Fan reached out and rubbed her head.
"I know."
Qing Lin had been cultivating diligently lately. The sensing range of her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils had expanded greatly, and she had even marked several secret deployment routes of the Nine Nether Deep Earth Python Tribe. She was no longer merely the little girl who hid behind others. She had begun learning how to guard a place of her own.
Xiao Fan said quietly, "Don't exhaust yourself. Guarding the snake valley doesn't mean working yourself to collapse."
Qing Lin nodded vigorously.
"Mm, I'll be good."
Medusa stood nearby, her red dress blazing like fire, her expression as cold and stunning as ever.
Looking at Xiao Fan, she said indifferently, "Those old men of Danta recognize skill. Since you're going, don't lower your stance."
Xiao Fan smiled. "Is Your Majesty worried about me?"
Medusa shot him a cold glance.
"This Queen merely fears that you'll return covered in wounds again. Troublesome."
Zi Yan bit into a medicinal fruit and said seriously, "You are worried."
Medusa: "..."
Xiao Yi Xian could not help but laugh softly.
Xiao Fan accepted the Soul Scale Medusa tossed to him
