"Xiao Yan, it's not surprising that the Snake-People Tribe would visit my Xiao Household. After all, our Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe have already established a very deep relationship."

Moreover, it is said that Queen Medusa, who went missing six months ago, has returned.

However, why was you specifically mentioned in this letter of Calling Card from the Snake-People Tribe?

In the study, Xiao Zhan looked at his son with a puzzled expression.

This has never happened before!

The Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe have had dealings with each other for a long time.

After all, as the cooperation between the Xiao Household Snake-People Tribe deepened, how could they not visit each other regularly?

It's common for people from the Xiao Household to visit the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City, and for the Snake-People Tribe to visit the Xiao Household.

Perhaps it's because the Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe have developed a cooperative relationship, because in recent years, there have been almost no large-scale conflicts between the Snake-People Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire.

You should know that nowadays, quite a few powerful people's goods are being transported through the Snake-People Tribe's channels via the Xiao Household family's connections.

It is precisely for this reason that the relationship between the Snake-People Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire, which had frequent conflicts in the past, has now eased to the point of being like that of allies!

This naturally made it much easier for the Snake-People Tribe to enter and Jia Ma Empire.

However, all the visits between the Xiao Household family and the Snake-People Tribe were related to cooperation; there was never a single instance where they specifically requested to see anyone.

Moreover, Xiao Yan is not currently managing the various affairs of the Xiao Household, so logically speaking, it is almost impossible for the Snake-People Tribe to specifically request to see Xiao Yan.

Therefore, there must be more to this than meets the eye!

As the patriarch of the Xiao Household, Xiao Zhan couldn't possibly be unable to understand such a simple principle.

Sure enough, after asking the question, Xiao Zhan kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.

Then he saw his son give him a somewhat guilty look.

"Xiao Yan, tell me honestly, has there been some misunderstanding between you and the Snake-People Tribe?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan remained silent, Xiao Zhan made his own guess.

"Father, what are you thinking? How could I have any misunderstanding with the Snake-People Tribe? It's just..."

However, how could Xiao Yan possibly bring himself to ask for help in such a situation?

Was he going to tell his father that he had slept with Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe?

I simply can't say that!

"Just what?"

Xiao Zhan pressed for an answer.

There's a problem, there must be a problem!

This was Xiao Zhan's intuition as a father.

Besides, Xiao Yan's expression is obvious; he's not blind, is he?

"Father, you'd better not ask anymore. I'll handle this myself. I'll meet with the envoy from the Snake-People Tribe when he arrives!"

Later, I will probably also make a trip to the Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe.

Xiao Yan clearly didn't want his somewhat muddled relationship with Medusa to ruin the friendship between the Xiao Household family and the Snake-People Tribe.

Moreover, he couldn't ask his father or the Xiao Household for help with this kind of thing!

"Alright, you've always had your own ideas, kid. Since you've said so, I won't interfere. However, if you need any help, both your father and the Xiao Household will do everything in our power to assist you!"

Xiao Zhan first sighed, then spoke with unusual seriousness.

"I know, thank you, Dad!"

Xiao Yan sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Three days later, the Snake-People Tribe arrived as promised!

The person who came was Yue Mei, one of the Eight Great Commanders had been in charge of communication and cooperation with the Xiao Household!

Like the other Snake-People Tribe, Yue Mei is half-human and half-snake. She has beautiful long golden hair, a seductive figure, and a charming appearance.

"Commander Yue Mei, it's been a long time!"

After the Xiao Household clansmen brought Yue Mei into the Xiao Household from the city gate, Xiao Zhan personally greeted her at the gate.

Yue Mei was, after all, a member of the Snake-People Tribe, and Wutan City was a city inhabited by humans.

Even though relations between the Snake-People Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire have eased somewhat in recent years, Ordinary still harbor an innate fear of the Snake-People Tribe.

Therefore, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, it was still necessary to have Xiao Household clansmen personally welcome the other party into the Xiao Household compound from the city gate.

Of course, it's not hard to tell from Xiao Zhan's words that this was probably not his first time interacting with Yue Mei.

After all, when the Xiao Household Snake-People Tribe, Yue Mei was in charge of handling the matter entirely under Medusa's instructions.

"Xiao Clan Leader, it's been a long time! You still look as dashing as ever!"

Yue Mei then offered a polite greeting.

However, as Yue Mei spoke, her gaze swept behind Xiao Zhan, clearly looking for someone.

Then, she spotted Xiao Yan and identified her target!

However, she hasn't shown any unusual behavior yet.

"So they really came for me!"

Xiao Yan, noticing Yue Mei's gaze, thought to himself.

Afterwards, Xiao Zhan welcomed Yue Mei into the Xiao Household's reception room.

After the guests and hosts took their seats, Xiao Zhan and Yue Mei, as usual, discussed various cooperation matters.

However, this time, Xiao Zhan clearly sensed that Yue Mei was somewhat absent-minded.

During their discussion, Yue Mei would occasionally glance at her son.

However, although Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, as well as Xiao Yan, had noticed this, they didn't feel comfortable asking because Xiao Mei hadn't brought it up.

Finally, after some time, the cooperation between the Xiao Household family and the Snake-People Tribe was discussed and concluded.

Then, Yue Mei naturally steered the conversation towards Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Clan Leader, this must be Xiao Yan, the young Young Master of the Xiao Household? He is indeed extraordinary and has an elegant demeanor!"

Yue Mei narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully.

Xiao Yan had actually met Yue Mei before at the Xiao Household.

However, at that time, Yue Mei was only visiting the Xiao Household to discuss matters, and Xiao Yan had only seen her a few times from afar.

After all, the Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe were discussing cooperation; why was he getting involved?

This was the only time Xiao Yan would come, because the Snake-People Tribe's Calling Card specifically mentioned it.

"Hehe, Commander Yue Mei, you flatter me. This lad still has many shortcomings!"

Xiao Zhan smiled at this moment, and it was clear that he felt very proud when others praised Xiao Yan.

At the same time, Yue Mei's eyes darted around, and she spoke again, "Xiao Clan Leader, Madam Xiao, actually, besides discussing cooperation with the Xiao Household, there is another matter that concerns Young Master Xiao Yan."

This point should already be clearly stated in my Snake-People Tribe's Calling Card, shouldn't it?

"Yes, I have already read the Calling Card. I wonder why Commander Yue Mei specifically mentioned wanting to see Xiao Yan this time? Could you please enlighten us?"

Xiao Zhan didn't mince words and directly asked the question that was on his mind.

"To be honest, my Snake-People Tribe has something we'd like to confirm with Young Master Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, and we hope Young Master can help us!"

Yue Mei also spoke directly.

"Commander Yue Mei, please speak. Anything that Xiao Yan can do, he will naturally not refuse!"

This was the first time Xiao Yan had spoken.

Whether it was out of friendship between the Xiao Household Snake-People Tribe, or his fleeting affair with Medusa, the Snake-People Tribe now needed his help, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yue Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she couldn't force him to do anything else; Xiao Yan's agreement was the best outcome for now.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, would you please drop a drop of your blood onto this crystal ball?"

As she spoke, Yue Mei took out a crystal ball, about the size of a human head, from her Storage Ring. The ball had a bright green luster.

"No problem!"

Although he didn't know Yue Mei's intentions, Xiao Yan did not refuse.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, the couple standing to the side, opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but seeing that Xiao Yan had already agreed, they remained silent.

Immediately, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. When Yue Mei handed him the emerald green crystal ball, he gently drew a line between his fingers, forcing out a drop of bright red blood.

"Tick-tock~"

The drop of blood was instantly absorbed by the crystal ball.

"Buzz~"

At the same time, the next second, a deep red color suddenly appeared in the emerald green crystal ball and lingered for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Yue Mei's gaze suddenly sharpened, and then she looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression.

"It really is you, Young Master Xiao Yan..."

"Hmm? What do you mean by that, Commander Yue Mei?"

Yue Mei's inexplicable words left Xiao Yan somewhat bewildered.

At the same time, he was also unaware of what the current situation meant.

Until Yue Mei uttered her next sentence...

"Young Master Xiao Yan, Her Queen is pregnant!"

The moment Yue Mei finished speaking, Xiao Yan was completely stunned.
