Qing Lin leaned in closer, curiously touching the iridescent scale mark on the infant girl's forehead with her finger.
She immediately felt a gentle yet immense power. "Fei Yan, Sister, you've been saying that for almost three years, and I can't believe it actually came true."
"Hmph," Queen Medusa let out a proud snort, unable to hide the smugness in her eyes and brows. "When has this King ever said something that wasn't true?"
Little Fairy Doctor, who was Medusa's rival, covered her mouth and chuckled, "True, it's true, but I've never seen a mother who, from the first day of pregnancy, kept saying, 'My daughter will surely be extraordinary,' even embroidering the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's patterns on the baby clothes she prepared."
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words, everyone in the palace couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The palace was instantly filled with joyful sounds.
Queen Medusa wasn't annoyed by this; instead, she felt the familiar warmth.
She not only had a warm extended family but now also had her own daughter.
"You are her father; you should name her," Medusa said, looking at Xiao Jietian with affection.
"Let's call her Xiao Wan," Xiao Jietian said softly after a moment of thought.
"A good name, gentle and graceful.
But Little Brother Xiao Tian, why do I feel like you're hinting at something, hee hee~" Ya Fei stood beside Xiao Jietian, her voice full of seductive softness.
"You little vixen, always stirring up trouble, aren't you?" Xiao Jietian playfully slapped Ya Fei on her shapely rear.
Then Xiao Jietian felt a hand land on his soft waist and twist it hard a few times.
It was Queen Medusa's hand.
"Indeed, it's a good name, Little Wan'er.
In the future, you must be as gentle as your name suggests, not like your mother," Little Fairy Doctor said, holding Xiao Wan, her eyes smiling.
"Hahahaha, exactly, not like that."
Even Xuan Yi had put aside her alchemy conference preparations and returned to the Eternal Heaven World.
The women all laughed happily, constantly teasing Medusa, getting revenge for her earlier boasting, while only Xiao Jietian was suffering Medusa's retaliation…
Just as Xiao Jietian was immersed in this joy, in a secret chamber on the Heavenly Beast Mountain, a nine-colored Magical Beast Egg began to shake slightly, and a thin crack appeared on its shell.
"Crack… crackle…"
The cracking sounds became more frequent, and the crack suddenly expanded, branching into countless spiderweb-like fine lines, quickly covering most of the eggshell.
A rich, dense nine-colored divine light burst forth from the cracks.
The next moment, with a crisp "bang"!
A small piece of the eggshell's top shattered, pushed open from within by a force.
A small, exquisite head, like white jade carving, slowly emerged.
After it completely crawled out of the eggshell, it was a small snake covered in delicate, crystalline scales, shimmering with nine-colored light.
She lowered her head, seemingly by instinct, and began to nibble at the shattered eggshell around her, transforming it into the purest energy that merged into her body.
With each piece she ate, the luster of her scales deepened, and the flowing nine-colored light became more solid.
In less than a minute, she had eaten all the eggshell, and she raised her head contentedly, letting out a tiny, clear hiss.
After eating and drinking her fill, the small snake tilted her head, seemingly a little confused, but the next moment, she sensed the source that had made her break out of her shell.
She let out a faint but joyful hiss, and the space around her body twisted, directly penetrating the Heavenly Beast Mountain's spatial barrier and disappearing.
Inside the palace, everyone was chatting quietly and happily.
Suddenly, Xiao Jietian and the others felt a somewhat familiar aura coming from the void toward the palace.
Under everyone's gaze, a nine-colored small snake, about a foot long, appeared out of thin air, silently materializing in front of Xiao Jietian.
Xiao Jietian's eyes narrowed, and his Dou Qi instantly rose, but then he recognized the aura of this small snake, which was clearly from the same source as the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python egg on the Heavenly Beast Mountain!
He quickly sensed the Heavenly Beast Mountain and found that the egg was indeed gone.
That meant there was only one possibility: this small snake in front of him was the one that had hatched from that egg.
"You're the little one?" Xiao Jietian extended a finger and touched her head, asking.
The small snake nodded vigorously, then, under Xiao Jietian's gaze, she cautiously approached and gently rubbed Xiao Wan's tender cheek with her cool little head.
Xiao Wan giggled when the small snake rubbed her, extending her small hand, seemingly wanting to grasp the beautiful nine-colored small snake.
The nine-colored small snake affectionately coiled around Xiao Wan's wrist, like a natural nine-colored bracelet.
The auras between the person and the snake even complemented and nourished each other.
"That little one hatched?" Medusa was also very surprised.
The soul of this little one was the soul that was naturally born when she herself evolved into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.
"Why does it feel like she and Wanwan have a somewhat peculiar relationship?"
"I think this should be considered a kind of alternative symbiotic relationship," Xiao Jietian also didn't understand what was going on.
After observing for a while, everyone found that there were no disadvantages; in fact, there were many benefits for Xiao Wan.
Perhaps because they both shared the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Bloodline, Xiao Jietian and the others no longer dwelled on it.
Just then, the door was opened from the outside, and the impatient Xiao Ling and the other two walked in.
"Where is my newborn sister? Let me see her quickly."
The three looked at the baby in Little Fairy Doctor's arms with curiosity, but being short, they only saw a red swaddling cloth and couldn't see her even if they jumped.
"Mother, let me see my sister!" Xiao Ze hugged Little Fairy Doctor's leg, shouting.
He was finally not the youngest, so his sisters wouldn't be able to bully him anymore.
Little did he know what the future held.
"Alright, you must be careful," Little Fairy Doctor said, seeing their eager eyes, and gently squatted down, handing Xiao Wan to Xiao Meng.
"What a cute little snake! Is this also a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python like Fei Yan, Mother? Is it the one from Heavenly Beast Mountain? Then when sister fights in the future, it'll be two against one!" Xiao Ze's eyes lit up slightly when he saw the small snake on Xiao Wan's wrist, as he loved to fight.
"If you need your sister to fight, then you, as her elder brother, are irresponsible!" Xiao Ling slapped Xiao Ze on the head, admonishing him.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll fight, I'll be responsible for the massacre, and you sisters can just eat melon seeds and drink tea in the back," Xiao Ze, who had been hit, showed no sign of resentment, but instead said with a grin.
"Good, worthy of being our cutest little brother, teachable indeed," Xiao Ling put a medicinal pill-like candy into Xiao Ze's mouth.
Subsequently, the three kept examining Xiao Wan and teasing her and the small snake on her wrist.
Xiao Wan also felt the bloodline connection between them and waved her small hands, playing with them.
Little Fairy Doctor and the others watched them, chatting idly, while also guarding against accidents.
For a moment, a warm atmosphere instantly filled the entire palace.
