Chapter 212: The Queen's Provocation
"What did you just say?"
In Tengshan's room, Hai Bodong stared at his old subordinate, utterly dumbfounded.
The information Tengshan had just relayed was so overwhelming that Hai Bodong's mind could hardly process it.
That boy named Xiao Yan wasn't even eighteen years old yet?
A Dou Zong powerhouse who could refine peak tier seventh grade pills?
His two protectors were rumored to be half saint level experts?
He once defeated over twenty Dou Zong powerhouses while at the peak of Dou Huang?
He subdued three Dou Zun powerhouses to establish a faction called the Yan Alliance?
His background was incredibly deep, with a grandfather who was a bona fide Dou Sheng?
He even resurrected Yun Potian?
All this inconceivable information hammered into Hai Bodong's ears, leaving him shocked, confused, and ultimately numb.
Only now did he truly understand just how powerful Xiao Yan was and how much the entire Jia Ma Empire had changed.
"Hai Lao, come now, stop just drinking and have some peanuts." Tengshan cheerfully picked up a few peanuts and placed them on Hai Bodong's plate, but inwardly, he couldn't help feeling smug.
Ever since he had started following Hai Bodong, he had never seen the old man so dumbstruck.
After a long silence, Hai Bodong finally smiled faintly.
"Although all this is incredibly shocking, I must admit it's exciting. This could very well be the opportunity for our Mittel Clan to rise to prominence."
He clinked glasses with Tengshan, the calm returning to his face. "Let's drink."
"Drink, drink!" Tengshan laughed heartily, subtly trying to preserve the dignity of his once proud elder brother.
The sound of creaking beds filled the air throughout the night. By the time dawn broke, Xiao Yan casually stepped out of Ya Fei's room.
"If you want this young master to assist with your cultivation, you better be prepared to handle it," Xiao Yan said as he flicked his sleeves, leaving behind no trace of guilt.
He made his way to a quiet room where neither Ya Fei nor Xiao Yi Xian would bother him and pulled a tiny, limp, multicolored snake from his sleeve.
The snake lay motionless in his palm, its body cool to the touch, as if lifeless.
"Queen, wake up! Wake up!" Xiao Yan gently poked the little snake's body with his finger.
There was no response.
"Sleeping so soundly, huh?" Xiao Yan smirked, flicking a droplet of Purple Heaven Serpent's blood onto the tip of his finger.
The moment the drop appeared, the little snake twitched slightly before opening its violet, enchanting eyes. Its tail coiled around Xiao Yan's pinky, rubbing against it like a spoiled child seeking affection.
"Wake the woman inside you, and I'll give you this," Xiao Yan said, tapping the snake's tiny head.
The multicolored snake gave him a pitiful glance before reluctantly closing its purple eyes.
Moments later, a burst of rainbow light flashed in Xiao Yan's hand, and suddenly, a soft, curvaceous figure appeared in his palm.
"What business do you have with me?" Medusa asked coolly, conjuring a shimmering multicolored gown to cover her alluring figure, seemingly to prevent Xiao Yan from getting any ideas.
Xiao Yan, however, stared at her with a righteous expression.
"Why so eager to get dressed? Do you really think someone as virtuous as I am would try anything inappropriate?"
Medusa froze for a moment, then a stunning, seductive smile spread across her cold, breathtaking face.
"Ha! If you're virtuous, then I must be a saint who heals the world."
Xiao Yan chuckled internally. You might not be a saint, but you could certainly heal me.
Flicking his fingers, he produced a small, purple glowing pill.
The moment the pill appeared, its fragrant aroma wafted into Medusa's delicate nose. Her body shivered slightly, and a flash of interest lit up her eyes.
"What kind of pill is that?" she asked.
"A sixth grade pill, Soul Fusion Pill," Xiao Yan said, smiling. "It'll help you quickly merge with the Heaven Swallowing Python's soul and restore your strength faster."
He casually slipped an arm around her incredibly supple waist, holding the pill to her lips with a sly grin. "Here, let me feed you."
"You're the first man bold enough to speak to me like this," Medusa said, her lips curling into a frosty smile. Yet under Xiao Yan's bold and brazen gaze, she opened her soft red lips and swallowed the pill.
The brief touch of her lips sent a faint tremor through Xiao Yan's heart.
"I mustn't let this woman's beauty distract me!" he told himself, trying to stay composed.
Medusa, noticing his internal struggle, smirked coldly. Her smile was both regal and teasing, igniting a deep yearning in any man who looked at her.
"My ancestor told me that following you might not be a bad choice," she said softly.
"But I'll repeat myself: to become my man, you must prove you have the strength to conquer me."
Her slender, jade like finger gently lifted Xiao Yan's chin as her mesmerizing voice continued, "So, do you have what it takes?"
"Damn, this woman is intense!" Xiao Yan's mind raced as memories of bold heroines from novels flashed through his mind.
Without hesitation, he grabbed her wrist and flashed a mischievous smile.
"Are you serious, Your Majesty?"
As his Five Star Dou Zong aura poured out, Medusa's expression shifted to one of shock.
"How long was I asleep? How did you already reach Five Star Dou Zong?" she exclaimed, unable to hide her disbelief.
She hadn't even fully merged her soul yet, yet this man had already advanced so much. What would his level be by the time she finished? Dou Zong Peak?
Seeing her surprise, Xiao Yan smirked in satisfaction.
"Daring to provoke me? Let me show you the price!" With a sudden pull, he brought her closer, pressing his lips against hers.
"Not bad, quite soft," he mused. But before he could savor the moment, a flash of multicolored light appeared, and a sharp pain pricked his lip.
Looking down, he found the tiny multicolored snake playfully biting his lip, its violet eyes gleaming with amusement.
"Daring to mess with me?" Xiao Yan growled, grabbing the snake and stuffing it into his waistband.
But the slippery creature easily escaped, turning into a streak of multicolored light and darting back into his sleeve.
"You just wait! One day, I'll be your Xu Xian!" Xiao Yan vowed angrily.
