"Alright, we've arrived at the Snake-People Tribe. Eat these. They're suitable for you right now," Xiao Tian said, pulling out two pills after a brief flight. He had just taken the time to refine them. Their effect was similar to chewing gum, not even qualifying as first-grade pills.
"Ah~"
When Xiao Yi Xian heard Xiao Tian say he had something for her to eat, her first reaction was to silently open her mouth and wait to be fed. Of course, this only happened when she was alone with Xiao Tian or with her sisters.
"I meant for you to feed me. Don't get the wrong idea," Xiao Yi Xian said, her face slightly flushed, seemingly aware of her habitual reaction.
Xiao Huiying on the side also slowly opened her mouth.
Xiao Tian placed the pills separately into their mouths. They chewed a few times and then swallowed.
"Oh, it's cool and has a fragrant taste. Master, what is this?" Xiao Huiying asked after carefully sensing it.
Xiao Tian briefly explained its function, and both of them lowered their heads, their faces flushed.
"Master, could you give me a little more? Then I can eat them after we're done," Xiao Huiying said, remembering how Zi Yan had smelled something on her yesterday.
"No problem." Xiao Tian directly gave her a bottle. This kind of thing could be refined in batches with ease.
Xiao Tian took out another bottle and placed it into another pair of fair, slender hands that had reached out.
"Let's go down. We'll go find Cai Lin first."
The three of them tidied their clothes. Xiao Huiying and Xiao Yi Xian sniffed each other to confirm there were no issues, then followed behind Xiao Tian.
...
The three appeared directly in the Snake-People Temple. At that moment, Medusa was reclining on the throne.
Seeing the three appear, Medusa instantly stood up, then teleported directly to hug Xiao Yi Xian, who was beside Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian stood there with his arms open, his face covered in black lines.
Xiao Huiying was trying to suppress a smile, looking as if she was about to burst.
"Oh, Xiao Tian, you're here too!" Medusa said playfully, feigning surprise as if she had just noticed him.
Seeing Medusa acting so provocatively, Xiao Tian slapped her perky bottom, producing a crisp echo.
"How dare you hit this Queen's butt!" Medusa pouted, covering her bottom in embarrassment. Although she called herself Queen, she showed no regal demeanor, instead resembling a little woman who had been wronged.
Xiao Tian pulled her into his arms and kissed her rosy lips.
Under Xiao Tian's guidance, Medusa's body gradually went limp in his embrace. "Is this what you wanted?"
Medusa's face was full of happiness, but she still stubbornly said, "Impossible. This King didn't want this at all. Hmph hmph."
"Then I won't do it next time," Xiao Tian said with a teasing smile.
"You wouldn't dare?" Medusa instantly straightened up and said loudly.
Then, seeing Xiao Tian's half-smile, she instantly realized she had been tricked and stomped on his foot.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Huiying were secretly snickering. Every time Medusa tried to put on her Queenly airs in front of Xiao Tian, it would end in failure.
"Xiao Tian, the elders said they want to see you to discuss something," Medusa said softly, stroking Xiao Tian's face.
Xiao Yi Xian on the side heard this and said, "Oh, so the ugly husband is meeting his in-laws. Hehe."
Reaching out and stroking Xiao Yi Xian's head, knowing she was deliberately creating an atmosphere, Xiao Tian looked at Medusa and asked, "Hmm, when should we go?"
"Right now," Medusa thought. The sooner she dealt with matters, the sooner she could return to Boundless Heaven Realm.
She looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Huiying. "Xian'er, you two wait here for us. Later, I'll take you to explore the Snake-People Holy City."
"Okay, but should we call out Yue'er and the others now?"
Before setting off, they had discussed visiting Medusa's Snake-People Tribe, because if the Snake-People Tribe relocated, the Snake-People Holy City would eventually be lost to the river of time.
Xiao Tian thought for a moment, then communicated with Han Yue and the others via a sound transmission stone.
In a flash, Yun Yun, Ya Fei, and others appeared. Even Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng were there.
Xiao Tian briefly explained the matter of meeting the Snake-People Tribe elders and asked them to wait there for a while.
Medusa arranged for Yue Mei to take them on a tour of the Snake-People Temple, then led Xiao Tian deeper into the temple.
Along the quiet path, Snake-People Tribe guards patrolled every short distance.
"Greetings, Queen, and King!" All the Snake-People Tribe guards they encountered bowed in salute.
When Xiao Tian heard the title "King" and saw Medusa's smile, which was harder to suppress than an AK's recoil, he understood.
"Is this title your doing?!"
"How could it be? This is a traditional title," Medusa argued, her eyes darting around. "If you don't like it, how about changing it to Little Tianzi? Haha!"
Medusa finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Xiao Tian's mouth twitched slightly.
Just then, Mo Ba Si, the Snake-People Tribe's Grand Commander, appeared before the two and saluted respectfully.
After saluting, Mo Ba Si stared intently at their clasped hands.
"Do you still have something to say? If not, step down," Medusa asked coldly, seeing Mo Ba Si still standing there.
"Queen, not just anyone can be worthy of our tribe's King," Mo Ba Si gritted his teeth, not believing the other party was a Dou Zun, and said with a stiff neck.
"My affairs are not for you to meddle with. Step down!!" Medusa, seeing them question Xiao Tian, immediately roared in anger. "By my command, from now on, Xiao Tian is your King! Seeing him is like seeing me. Anyone who disobeys can be killed directly!"
Xiao Tian glanced over, and Mo Ba Si was pressed to the ground, cold sweat continuously streaming down his forehead.
Pulling Medusa, Xiao Tian walked past Mo Ba Si, looking at him with a flat gaze. "Some people are not for you to covet. If there's a next time, death!"
After feeling the oppressive aura disappear, Mo Ba Si scrambled away.
Medusa looked at Xiao Tian, a slight smile playing on her lips.
The two talked and walked along the quiet path. Fifteen minutes later, they reached the end of the path.
What appeared before them was a bamboo house situated in the middle of a bamboo forest.
Xiao Tian sensed four peak Dou Huang auras inside.
Medusa gently knocked on the bamboo door of the bamboo house in front of them.
"Come in!"
As the knocking stopped, an old voice came from inside the bamboo house, and the door opened accordingly.
Xiao Tian and Medusa stepped inside.
Upon entering the bamboo house, a faint light suddenly rose, and then, in the spacious room, four ancient figures came into view.
The old woman in the center slowly opened her eyes. Her diamond-shaped pupils, like those of a venomous snake, stared directly at Xiao Tian.
The other three old women also opened their eyes. The auras of the four converged, forming a pitch-black giant python in mid-air.
The giant python's eyes stared coldly at Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian slightly raised his head to look at the giant python. A powerful aura instantly pressed down, and the giant python hissed once before instantly vanishing without a trace.
Xiao Tian remained silent, looking indifferently at the four people in front of him, while Medusa silently stood beside Xiao Tian.
