Dreams and Change

It was about three months later that Xiao Yan returned to the Snake-People Tribe Holy City.

There's nothing we can do; the Northwest Continent is such a small place that there aren't many high-level magical beasts.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, the strongest being is the Amethyst Winged Lion King of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was only Tier Six magical beast, which did not meet Xiao Yan's goal.

However, when Xiao Yan was searching for Seventh-Order Magical Beast, he still made a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire.

Then, to his dismay, he discovered that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was still only at the Tier Six.

Unbeknownst to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he had once again narrowly escaped death.

In fact, when Xiao Yan saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a thought that was not human flashed through his mind.

The plan is to first refine a Medicinal Pill to help the Amethyst Winged Lion King break through to the Seventh-Order Magical Beast, and then kill it yourself!

After thinking it over, Xiao Yan decided to give up for the time being.

Firstly, it's too much of a waste of time.

Secondly, given that this was a newly evolved Seventh-Order Magical Beast, Xiao Yan wasn't sure if the quality of its Monster Core would affect his unborn child.

The former is a minor matter; if the latter happens, he will never forgive himself!

Furthermore, the reason Xiao Yan temporarily gave up was because he considered it his last resort.

If no other suitable Seventh-Order Magical Beast can be found, wouldn't we have to resort to this inhumane solution?

I wonder if the Amethyst Winged Lion King would shed tears of sorrow if he knew the truth?

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Later, Xiao Yan successfully found and hunted two more Seventh-Order Magical Beast in other places.

Our poor Amethyst Winged Lion King has successfully escaped what seems like its umpteenth ordeal...

However, Xiao Yan wasn't easy either.

It took a considerable amount of effort to find the Seventh-Order Magical Beast.

Add to that the subsequent hunting, and it becomes even more difficult.

After all, at the same level, monsters often have the advantage over humans.

Their powerful bodies endowed them with defensive capabilities far superior to those of humans!

Furthermore, Xiao Yan is currently only Low-Star Dou Zong, so it's quite reasonable for him to get injured while hunting Seventh-Order Magical Beast, right?

Of course, this is actually just what Xiao Yan wants someone to think...

Behind the Imperial Palace of the Snake-People Tribe Holy City, Medusa sat as usual on her throne.

Since becoming pregnant, Medusa has found that her energy levels have indeed decreased significantly, and she often feels sleepy.

Logically speaking, with her Dou Venerable cultivation level, she should be able to do without sleep. She only needs to cultivate for a little while each day and she will be full of energy the next day.

But things have been different lately.

Even after doing that, she still gets sleepy from time to time!

At first, Medusa didn't realize it and just thought it was a coincidence.

But as this situation became more and more frequent, she naturally guessed that it was due to the baby in her womb.

It's perfectly normal for pregnant women to feel sleepy!

Medusa was taking a nap on her throne.

During this short break, she even had a dream!

In the dream, Xiao Yan paid a heavy price for hunting down two Seventh-Order Magical Beasts.

Even after returning, there were signs that his injuries had worsened...

"Xiao Yan!"

Just then, Medusa also woke up and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Was it a dream...?"

Medusa wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and murmured to herself.

Thinking about the content of her dream, Medusa's mood was not very pleasant at the moment.

After all, that must have been a nightmare for her, right?

Just then, a hurried figure suddenly rushed in.

"Your Queen, Young Master Xiao Yan has returned!"

The Snake-People Tribe guard who delivered the message reported the news with a mixture of urgency and respect.

"Oh? Is that so? Then let him come in by himself."

Medusa first raised an eyebrow, then spoke as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

She said it was just a dream!

It caused her to feel inexplicably flustered.

"But, Your Queen..."

However, at this moment, the Snake-People Tribe guard showed a hesitant expression.

"But what?"

Seeing the guard's appearance, Medusa was instantly startled, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked him a question.

"Your Queen, Young Master Xiao Yan... he's seriously injured..."

"Call out"

Almost the instant the guard finished speaking, Medusa's figure had already vanished from her sight.

"No, it was just a dream, just a dream!"

As she rushed out of the Imperial Palace, Medusa kept muttering to herself.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she felt incredibly panicked at that moment!

But she knew her own heart very well; she simply didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Yan!

With these thoughts in mind, Medusa soon saw the person she wanted to see.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan was being supported by another person, his face pale, as if he might faint at any moment.

"Your Queen!"

At this moment, the person supporting Xiao Yan let out a gasp.

The person supporting Xiao Yan was none other than Yue Mei!

"Ahem~, yes, it's Medusa! Two Tier Seven Monster Core, I... I've got them..."

Xiao Yan slightly raised his eyes and, with great "difficulty," handed over two Monster Core in his hand, one emitting red light and the other green light.

Those are clearly fire-attribute Monster Core and wood-attribute Monster Core!

At the same time, as Xiao Yan finished speaking, his eyes finally closed, and his outstretched hand fell to his sides.

Xiao Yan finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a "coma"!

"Xiao Yan!"

As Medusa cried out in surprise, her figure had already appeared in front of Yue Mei.

"Click," "Click"

Accompanying this was the sound of the two Monster Core that Xiao Yan had been holding falling to the ground.

However, at this moment, Medusa had no time to care about the two Monster Core.

"Yue Mei, hand Xiao Yan over to me!"

Medusa spoke in an irresistible tone.

Her eyes and brows revealed an obvious sense of anxiety.

"Ah? Yes, Your Queen!"

Seeing this, how could Yue Mei dare to hesitate even slightly?

Immediately afterwards, Medusa picked Xiao Yan up in her arms and quickly left.

Only a stunned Yue Mei remained, along with two Seventh-Order Magical Beast Monster Core that had fallen to the ground.

"Her Queen seems to have changed..."

Yue Mei murmured to herself.

After a moment of stunned silence, Yue Mei picked up the two Monster Core that had fallen to the ground and then chased after them.

As for Medusa, at this moment, her face showed nothing but anxiety.

In fact, as the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, she had absolutely no need to personally carry the "severely injured and unconscious" Xiao Yan inside.

Yue Mei could have done this back then.

However, for some reason, even if Yue Mei was just supporting Xiao Yan, let alone holding him, she found it somewhat offensive!

It can only be said that Medusa's attitude towards Xiao Yan has undergone a clear change.

After all, even Yue Mei noticed this!

At the same time, Medusa once again recalled the dream she had just had.

Xiao Yan returned severely injured, then his injuries worsened, and finally...

The current situation seems to be transitioning to the second step.

"No! No! It was just a dream, just a dream!"

Medusa's silver teeth were already biting her red lips, so hard that blood was seeping out!
