90: Chapter 90 Xun'er's Candy
Under Jia Xingtian's stunned gaze, amid a burst of radiant light, the body of the small seven-colored snake gradually grew, eventually transforming into a tall woman dressed in a red brocade robe.
"Queen Medusa!"
Sensing Medusa's powerful aura, Jia Xingtian revealed a wary gaze. He had a deep understanding of how dangerous this woman was; in fact, when the Snake-people Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire had previously gone to war, it was his timely intervention that halted the tribe's invasion.
Medusa's enchanting and cold figure stood among the crowd. Her beautiful eyes swept across the room, her faint Dou Zong aura exerting pressure over the entire scene.
"Lord Xiao Yan." When her gaze landed on Xiao Yan, Medusa's expression shifted slightly, and she spoke with a slight bow.
Xiao Yan looked at Medusa, who had dominated the atmosphere the moment she appeared, and nodded with a smile. "I have already resolved the matters in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Next, it will be up to you all to discuss the migration of the Snake-people Tribe."
Jia Xingtian looked at Queen Medusa in surprise, not expecting this brutal snake-woman to have such a side.
"Whether it's the choice of route or the timing, everything requires detailed planning." Jia Xingtian glanced at Medusa before continuing, "Currently, many of the Empire's affairs have been handed over to Eldest Princess Yao Ye. Let's leave this matter to Yao Ye as well..."
Medusa nodded slightly upon hearing this. She had no objections; the most important matter had already been resolved by Lord Xiao Yan. The rest was just a handover, nothing worth fussing over.
"In that case, we will stay in Jia Ma Holy City for a few days. Once you have reached an agreement, we will set off." Seeing no disagreement between the two, Xiao Yan spoke casually.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao Yan." Medusa looked at the smiling Xiao Yan and returned the smile.
"Hehe, no need to be polite. Now that you are one of mine, these things are only natural. Once I establish the Council, I will have to rely on you much more." Xiao Yan said modestly. Once the matters of the Northwest Continent were settled, this place would largely depend on Medusa, so it was only right to be more cordial with her.
Jia Xingtian watched the two chatting and laughing, a strange expression appearing on his face. As a neighbor of the Snake-people Tribe, he was undoubtedly aware of Queen Medusa's cold-blooded brutality. Seeing her show no resistance or anger toward Xiao Yan's words was truly an eye-opener.
"Xiao Yan, let's go quickly! Buy me that Green Spirit Cake you gave me before, or else it'll be dark soon," Zi Yan urged at this moment.
Xiao Yan patted Zi Yan's head and nodded with a chuckle. He said to Jia Xingtian, "I'll leave the rest to you. We'll be going now."
"Hehe, if Lord Xiao Yan is staying in the Holy Capital for these few days, why not stay in the Imperial City?" Jia Xingtian spoke politely as he saw Xiao Yan about to leave.
"No need. Once you've finished your discussions, send someone to find us," Xiao Yan said, shaking his head.
And so, for the next two days, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others stayed in Jia Ma Holy City. Because of Zi Yan's presence, they often bought out the food on entire streets, to the point that Xiao Yan and his group became somewhat famous in Jia Ma Holy City over those two days.
When the first ray of sunlight hit this bustling city, in a certain inn, Xiao Yan rose from the bed, gently moved Xun'er's arm aside, stretched slightly, and began a beautiful new day.
However, looking at Xun'er, who was pretending to sleep beside him, Xiao Yan revealed a tender smile and slowly leaned toward her.
As if sensing Xiao Yan's hot breath, Xun'er's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her breathing became a bit rapid.
As he touched Xun'er's soft lips, she suddenly opened her eyes, her watery gaze filled with a hint of bashfulness.
Before she could resist, Xiao Yan suddenly flipped over...
Half an hour later, Xiao Yan tidied his sleeves and walked out the door.
Leaving only Xun'er behind, her cheeks burning hot as she lay limp on the bed.
After buying breakfast, Qing Lin and Zi Yan sat together, while Xun'er appeared somewhat nervous, hurrying back to her room after only a few small bites.
Qing Lin and Zi Yan looked at each other, then at Xiao Yan, who was feasting heartily.
The inn's breakfast wasn't tasty, so for the past two mornings, Xiao Yan had gone elsewhere to buy food. Actually, Xiao Yan had plenty of delicious food in his storage ring, but as a foodie, he would definitely choose fresh food over something that had been stored for a long time.
"Knock, knock."
A knock sounded at the door.
"Come in."
Several young girls dressed in luxurious clothing pushed the door open and entered. Their eyes scanned the room before finally landing on Xiao Yan.
"Lord Half-Saint, Old Jia sent us to pick you up!" the leading girl in blue said respectfully to Xiao Yan. Her gaze was somewhat fervent, staring at Xiao Yan without looking away, as if she wanted to get a good look at the style of this legendary Half-Saint expert.
"Alright, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there." Xiao Yan stuffed the last two buns into his mouth, stood up, and pushed open the door to Xun'er's room.
The girls waited for a good while before Xiao Yan and Xun'er finally walked out.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan was scratching the back of his head with a sheepish grin.
The four followed the girls to the entrance, where several carriages were already waiting. Each carriage was pulled by two White Unicorns; the carriages were luxurious and elegant, exuding a noble aura.
The destination this time was still the Imperial City. Presumably, Medusa and the Jiama Royal Family had already reached an agreement and wanted him to serve as a witness.
After passing through the Imperial City gates and making a few turns, the carriage arrived at the entrance of a grand hall.
Xiao Yan was the first to get off, quite gentlemanly supporting Xun'er's hand as she stepped down from the luxurious and elegant carriage.
Entering the hall, several people were already waiting. Jia Xingtian and Medusa sat on either side of the hall, and the cold and elegant Eldest Princess Yao Ye sat in a seat beside Medusa.
"Lord Xiao Yan, you've arrived."
Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, they all stood up and greeted him.
Xiao Yan nodded, took a seat at random, and asked, "Have you finished the discussions?"
Yao Ye's beautiful eyes flickered as they landed on Xiao Yan. She smiled and said, "Lord Xiao Yan, the specific arrangements have been made. In a few days, the Snake-people Tribe will be able to head toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range..."
In fact, if Medusa hadn't been refining Medicinal Pills midway, they would have finished the discussions a day ago, but it couldn't be helped.
Currently, Medusa's Soul was still dominated by Xiao Cai's consciousness. Only by refining the Spirit Melting Pill to strengthen her own Soul could she completely suppress the companion beast Xiao Cai within her body, eventually assimilating Xiao Cai and allowing Medusa to fully control her own body.
"It seems your discussions went smoothly. When do you plan to begin the migration?" Xiao Yan asked, seeing the smiles in their eyes.
"I need to personally select the location for the migration. So, I will choose the site before the migration begins. However, the news has already been sent to the Elders of my Snake-people Tribe, so my people can start preparing first," Medusa said.
