Training in the Black-Corner Region, the Heaven Swallowing Python Stirs
Xiao Yan had been training in the Black-Corner Region for some time. By now, so many people had fallen at his hands that even he had lost count.
As for why he was so "popular"...
He had that excessively youthful face to thank for it.
At first glance, he looked just like a greenhorn fresh out of the gate, clueless about everything.
And so, in this chaotic land where people would eat you alive and spit out your bones, nearly everyone thought he was a soft persimmon they could squeeze at will.
And if he was a soft persimmon, naturally, everyone who saw him wanted to give him a squeeze.
Xiao Yan had repaid them with a lesson they would never forget. Those who deserved killing, he killed without mercy.
Gradually, as the bodies piled up, a faint aura of blood began to cling to him.
Ever since that bloody aura had settled over him, far fewer fools had come forward to provoke him.
Through the fighting and scouting of the past few days, Xiao Yan had gained a rough understanding of the power structure among the Black-Corner Region's various factions.
Naturally, the name of "Medicine Emperor" Han Feng had also reached Yao Lao's ears, which was what prompted Xiao Yan's earlier question.
With the two of them working together, killing Han Feng would take no more than the snap of a finger.
Now, as long as Yao Lao gave the word, Xiao Yan would head for Maple City without hesitation and personally crush that beast who had betrayed his master and turned against his ancestors.
Hearing of Han Feng's whereabouts once again, Yao Lao fell silent inside the ring for a long time. In the end, he only let out a faint sigh and, unusually, said nothing.
Xiao Yan understood how completely Yao Lao had taught Han Feng everything he knew, and how much hope he had placed in him. He had practically regarded him as his own son.
To be stabbed in the back with a fatal blow by the disciple he had raised with his own hands-such pain could not easily be soothed by a few words from someone else.
Seeing that Yao Lao remained silent, Xiao Yan said no more and decided to find a place to stay in the city before him.
He found an inn, booked a superior room, and settled in by himself.
"Black Seal City... I wonder if I'll run into the third remnant map at this point in time." Through the inn window, Xiao Yan gazed from afar at the imposing silhouette of the Black Seal City Auction House and quietly considered his options.
He had come to Black Seal City to try his luck and see if he could get his hands on the third Demonic Flame Remnant Map ahead of time.
Pulling his gaze back, Xiao Yan decided to wash up properly first.
The endless killing of the past few days had kept his mind in a constant state of high tension.
Although the Dog Talisman and Horse Talisman could dispel his physical fatigue, he still felt that he ought to stop and rest every so often.
Letting his tense mind relax for a moment would also be good for the mental health of a teenager like him.
He planned to take the evening to rest properly, then try his luck at the Auction House first thing tomorrow morning.
After setting up a Restriction at the door and greeting Yao Lao, Xiao Yan had just gotten ready to lie down and sleep when he suddenly sensed something unusual from the Heaven Swallowing Python bracelet on his wrist.
"The Heaven Swallowing Python is waking up?" Xiao Yan's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly focused his attention.
He saw that the two Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons had fully awakened. They were gazing at him curiously with two pairs of bright, glittering eyes.
Xiao Yan sensed the auras of the two pythons, and delight immediately spread across his face.
The little fellows' auras had grown noticeably stronger once again. It seemed their slumber and evolution hadn't been in vain.
"Not bad!" He smiled and reached out to rub the heads of the two Little Sky Swallowing Pythons.
Then he took out two bottles of Companion Amethyst Source, pulled out the stoppers, and held them out to the girls. "Come on, little ones. Drink up and grow big and strong."
The two little fellows were already familiar with the routine. They each latched onto a bottle's mouth and gulped down the contents.
Before long, they had drained every last drop of Amethyst Source from the bottles. When they were done, they even licked their lips, still wanting more.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was about to take out two more bottles when the little fellows' eyes suddenly began to turn red, and dazzling, multicolored light burst from their bodies.
"Holy crap, what's..." Brilliant colors flooded the room, so dazzling that it was nearly impossible to keep one's eyes open.
The sudden turn of events startled Xiao Yan into blurting out a curse.
He immediately realized what was happening. Having read the original novel, he knew this sight all too well: it was the sign that the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was about to take human form.
"Teacher, you should sleep for a bit. I'll call you when it's over!" Xiao Yan hurriedly shouted into the ring, then swiftly activated the power of the Sheep Talisman, neatly blocking Yao Lao's perception completely.
Trapped inside the ring, Yao Lao was first taken aback, then guessed at the reason. He could only smile helplessly and shake his head.
As soon as the blocking was complete, the multicolored light filling the room began to slowly fade.
Before Xiao Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a heavy weight drop into his arms. Two impossibly soft bodies landed securely on his lap, one on either side.
A refreshing, heart-stirring fragrance rushed toward him, enveloping him completely.
The light vanished entirely, and two identical, breathtakingly beautiful faces appeared right before his eyes.
Cai Lin and Cai Die sat on his lap, one on each side. Their two soft snake tails swayed unconsciously against him, sending waves of tingling sensation through his body.
Most importantly, neither sister had a stitch of clothing on. Their two pairs of enticing curves were laid bare before Xiao Yan, without a single thing to hide them.
A cold sweat broke out across Xiao Yan's back, and he secretly congratulated himself for blocking Yao Lao in time. Otherwise, if that old geezer had seen this, Xiao Yan would have lost out big time.
Since he had just finished bathing, he was wearing only a thin robe.
With the three of them pressed skin to skin, they could all clearly feel the warmth coming from one another.
Six eyes met. They stared at one another, and for a time, no one spoke.
"Ha... hello there! How are you two?" Xiao Yan finally broke the silence.
His hands unconsciously wrapped around the sisters' slender, soft waists. As if led by some unseen force, his fingertips pinched a soft, full part of them.
The two sisters finally reacted and turned their heads away in unison, their little faces red enough to drip blood.
Even Cai Lin, usually so haughty and regal, had ears burning bright red. She looked just like a boiled shrimp.
"Brother-in-law... you're so bad!" Feeling Xiao Yan's restless hand, Cai Die was the first to lose her composure. She clenched her little fist and gave him a shy, indignant thump.
But her voice was soft and sweet, with not the slightest hint of reproach. If anything, she sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
Cai Lin also shot Xiao Yan a shy, indignant glare. Her eyes were practically brimming with tears.
The two of them hurriedly twisted free from his lap.
As soon as they left, a strange sense of emptiness and longing welled up in Xiao Yan's heart.
The two women looked down and realized they were still completely naked. In a panic, they channeled Dou Qi into clothes that covered their bodies, only just managing to conceal their alluring, blood-stirring curves.
"How... how do you two feel now?" Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly and asked sheepishly.
He really hadn't been able to hold back just now, and he hadn't controlled his strength either. He had grabbed them hard.
He had to admit, the feel had been absolutely top-notch.
Even now, faint reddish finger marks remained on the two women's tender skin.
"Brother-in-law, you can't squeeze so hard next time." Cai Die pouted and rubbed the spot that he had pinched sore, looking terribly aggrieved.
