Xiao Yan had spent some time training in the Black-Corner Region. So many people had fallen to him that even he had lost count.

Why was he so "popular"?

He had his ridiculously young face to thank for that.

At a glance, he looked like a greenhorn fresh out of the gate who knew nothing about the world.

And in this lawless place, where people ate each other alive, nearly everyone took him for an easy mark.

Naturally, everyone wanted a crack at an easy mark.

Xiao Yan gave them lessons they would never forget. Those who deserved to die, died. He showed no mercy.

As the bodies piled up, a faint scent of blood began to cling to him.

After that, far fewer fools came forward to provoke him.

Through days of fighting and exploration, Xiao Yan had also gained a rough grasp of the powers at work in the Black-Corner Region.

Naturally, word of Han Feng, the "Medicine Emperor," reached Yao Lao as well. That was why Xiao Yan had asked him about Han Feng earlier.

With their combined strength, killing Han Feng would take no more than a flick of a finger.

All Yao Lao had to do was give the word, and Xiao Yan would charge straight to Maple City and crush that beast who had murdered his master and betrayed his lineage.

Hearing news of Han Feng again, Yao Lao remained silent in the ring for a long time. In the end, he merely sighed and, unusually, said nothing.

Xiao Yan understood how much Yao Lao had taught Han Feng and how much hope he had placed in him. He had practically raised Han Feng as his own son.

The disciple he had raised with his own hands had stabbed him in the back. That pain was not something a few comforting words from anyone else could erase.

When Yao Lao remained silent, Xiao Yan said no more. He decided to find a place to stay in the city first.

He found an inn, booked one of its better rooms, and settled in alone.

"Black Seal City... I wonder if the third piece of the Demonic Flame Remnant Map will be here yet." Through the inn window, Xiao Yan gazed at the towering outline of Black Seal City's auction house in the distance and made his plans.

He had come to Black Seal City to try his luck and see whether he could get his hands on the third piece of the Demonic Flame Remnant Map ahead of time.

Drawing his gaze back, Xiao Yan decided to wash up first.

The ceaseless killing of the past few days had kept his nerves wound tight.

The Dog Talisman and Horse Talisman could ease his physical fatigue, but he still felt he ought to stop and rest now and then.

Giving his mind a chance to relax would be good for his mental health as a teenager, too.

He planned to rest properly tonight, then try his luck at the auction house in the morning.

After setting a ward at the door and letting Yao Lao know, Xiao Yan was about to lie down when he felt something stir in the Heaven Swallowing Python bracelets around his wrist.

"Are the Heaven Swallowing Pythons waking up?" Xiao Yan perked up and hurriedly examined them.

Both Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons were fully awake, gazing at him with two pairs of bright, curious eyes.

Xiao Yan sensed their auras and broke into a delighted smile.

The two little ones had grown noticeably stronger. Their slumber and evolution had not been for nothing.

"Not bad!" Smiling, he reached out and rubbed the two Little Sky Swallowing Pythons on their heads.

Then he took out two bottles of Companion Amethyst Source, pulled out the stoppers, and held them before the pair. "Here you go, little ones. Drink up and grow big and strong."

The two little ones knew the routine. They latched onto the bottle mouths and gulped away.

Before long, they had drained both bottles to the last drop. They even licked their lips, still wanting more.

Xiao Yan was about to take out another two bottles when their eyes gradually turned red and dazzling multicolored light burst from their bodies.

"What the hell? Is this..." Colored light flooded the room, so bright he could barely keep his eyes open.

The sudden change startled a curse out of Xiao Yan.

Then he realized what was happening. Having read the original story, he knew this sight well: the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons were about to take human form.

"Teacher, take a nap! I'll wake you when it's over!" Xiao Yan called into the ring. He immediately activated the Sheep Talisman and cut off Yao Lao's senses completely.

Shut away inside the ring, Yao Lao froze for a moment before guessing what was happening. He could only shake his head with a helpless smile.

As soon as Yao Lao's senses were blocked, the colored light filling the room began to fade.

Before Xiao Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden weight landed in his lap. Two exquisitely soft figures dropped onto his legs, one on either side.

An intoxicating fragrance swept over him and enveloped him completely.

When the light vanished, two identical, breathtakingly beautiful faces appeared inches from his own.

Cai Lin and Cai Die sat on either side of his lap, their supple snake tails swaying unconsciously against him and sending tingles through his body.

More importantly, neither sister wore a stitch of clothing. Their alluring figures were laid completely bare before Xiao Yan.

Cold sweat broke out across Xiao Yan's back. Thank goodness he had acted quickly and blocked Yao Lao. If that old geezer had seen this, Xiao Yan would have missed out on something priceless.

He had just bathed himself, so he wore only a thin robe.

With their skin pressed together, all three could clearly feel one another's warmth.

Six eyes met. They stared at one another, and for a moment, no one spoke.

"Ha... hello, you two!" Xiao Yan finally broke the silence.

His hands slipped around the sisters' slender waists of their own accord. Before he knew it, his fingers had given a certain soft, full spot a squeeze.

The sisters finally came to their senses and turned their heads away in unison, their faces flushed crimson.

Even Cai Lin, usually so proud and aloof, was red to the tips of her ears.

"Brother-in-law... you're awful!" Feeling Xiao Yan's wandering hand, Cai Die could bear it no longer. She clenched her little fist and thumped him in embarrassed indignation.

But her voice was so soft that she sounded less like she was scolding him and more like she was flirting.

Cai Lin shot Xiao Yan a fierce, embarrassed glare. Her eyes were almost brimming with tears.

The two hurriedly twisted free of his lap.

The moment they left, Xiao Yan felt a strange emptiness and already missed having them there.

Looking down, the sisters realized they were still naked. They hastily used their Dou Qi to form clothing over their bodies, barely concealing their alluring curves.

"H-how do you feel now?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and asked sheepishly.

He really had not been able to stop his hand just now. He had not controlled his strength, either, and had squeezed hard.

He had to admit, the feeling had been extraordinary.

Even now, faint red fingerprints lingered on the sisters' delicate skin.

"Brother-in-law, you can't squeeze so hard next time." Cai Die pouted and rubbed the sore spot with an aggrieved look.
