Clatter~
Just as dawn quietly painted the horizon, a hunched figure weaved through the Snake-People Race Holy City, knocking on the door of a small building.
"Little friend Chen Xiao, forgive the intrusion. This old woman is here to bring something to eat for Your Majesty, no, for that little fellow."
Looking at the old woman standing before him, a hint of helplessness flickered across Chen Xiao's face.
Today was the seventh day since Medusa Queen successfully evolved. In the past few days, the four Elders of the Snake-People Race seemed to have learned from Hua She'er the reason why Little Heaven Swallowing Python was close to Chen Xiao and Zi Yan. Thus, they were thinking of using the same method to lure Little Heaven Swallowing Python back.
Although they were no longer worried about Medusa Queen's safety after learning that Little Heaven Swallowing Python had a new soul and Medusa Queen would likely have the upper hand in the struggle for control of the body, it still felt strange to them that their own Queen was being kept as a pet by an outsider.
Therefore, they had to lure Little Heaven Swallowing Python back.
There was no time to lose!
Didn't Little Heaven Swallowing Python just like things with fire attributes and abundant energy?
Coincidentally, due to its geographical environment, the Tagor Desert had quite a few such things.
Among them was a medicinal herb called Red Feather Fruit, which not only contained abundant energy but also tasted sweet and delicious. Even Zi Yan said it was good after eating it.
Just like that, the four Snake-People Race Elders came to find Chen Xiao that very day, taking out more than ten Red Feather Fruits to tempt Little Heaven Swallowing Python.
However, to their disappointment, although Little Heaven Swallowing Python was somewhat interested in the Red Feather Fruits, it was extremely wary of the aura the four of them revealed, its guard fully up.
Seeing this, the four Elders could only leave the medicinal herbs and leave with a shake of their heads.
Then, starting from the second day, they changed their method. From the Grand Elder to the Fourth Elder, they took turns sending one person each day to continue tempting Little Heaven Swallowing Python, no longer acting together.
It had some effect. At the very least, Little Heaven Swallowing Python's vigilance had relaxed a lot, and it was willing to eat the Red Feather Fruits they brought out.
Unfortunately, that was the extent of the effect.
After eating and drinking their fill every day, Little Heaven Swallowing Python would no longer pay attention to these regularly refreshing feeders...
Chen Xiao slightly turned sideways, allowing the Snake-People Race Second Elder to enter the room, and then took out a stopperless jade bottle from his sleeve.
He gently flicked the bottle, and the next moment, Little Heaven Swallowing Python's small, cute, and beautiful head poked out from the bottle.
It glanced at Chen Xiao, then turned to look at today's feeder. Its body twisted slightly, and it darted out of the jade bottle, landing on the table.
Seven days had passed. With the feeding of the Elders, Little Heaven Swallowing Python's body had clearly grown. It was about an inch longer than when it first evolved, but it was still only about an inch long in total, with no impact on its appearance.
"Little fellow, eat. Eat your fill and come back with me. Then you can eat whatever you want, as much as you want."
The old woman squeezed out a slightly eerie smile, her face full of wrinkles piled together. If this were in a world without the supernatural, it would be enough to scare a baby into silence.
As she tempted it, she took out three fiery red fruits from her Storage Ring, and a fragrant aroma slowly spread throughout the room.
Under the old woman's expectant gaze, Little Heaven Swallowing Python didn't react, just buried its head and ate.
Its inch-sized body somehow sucked dry all three fist-sized fruits. Aside from its belly bulging slightly, there were no other visible changes.
After eating and drinking its fill, Little Heaven Swallowing Python skillfully climbed onto the jade bottle Chen Xiao had placed on the table and burrowed inside.
After two seconds, as if sensing that Chen Xiao hadn't put it away yet, Little Heaven Swallowing Python poked its head out again, hissing with its pink tongue, as if urging him.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao suppressed a smile and waved his hand, putting the jade bottle into his sleeve.
In contrast, the Snake-People Race Second Elder's brows were deeply furrowed, becoming even more wrinkled.
If it weren't for the fact that Little Heaven Swallowing Python shared a body with Medusa Queen, and cursing it was equivalent to cursing Your Majesty, the old woman would have wanted to complain.
This little fellow was completely an ungrateful wretch!
"Hehe, it seems this little fellow is still a bit unfamiliar with us. Then we'll come back tomorrow. We won't disturb little friend Chen Xiao's cultivation now."
With a forced smile, the old woman shook her head and left.
Medusa Queen had already revealed Chen Xiao's identity to them before she evolved.
Moreover, they also knew that Chen Xiao had contributed to Medusa Queen obtaining the Green Lotus Core Flame back then.
It was precisely because of this that the four Elders' attitude towards Chen Xiao could be considered friendly.
Chen Xiao nodded, watching the other party leave.
The four Elders came to feed Little Heaven Swallowing Python every day. Except for the first time when Chen Xiao was slightly worried about Little Heaven Swallowing Python being lured away, he was very relaxed every day after that.
He even wished they would come.
After all, he hadn't prepared much food for Little Heaven Swallowing Python. With this little fellow's consumption rate, it wouldn't last long at all. The actions of the four Elders undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.
Of course, while he thought this way in his heart, he still had to show the appropriate helplessness on his face. Otherwise, if the four Elders did the opposite, Chen Xiao would have to spend some effort finding food for Little Heaven Swallowing Python.
Returning to the head of the bed and sitting down, Chen Xiao reached his left hand into his sleeve, feeling a circle of warmth on his fingertip before pulling it back.
He had discovered in the past few days that Little Heaven Swallowing Python's body would get hotter after each meal, as if it were digesting the energy within its body.
Letting it coil around his fingertip like a Storage Ring, Chen Xiao slightly circulated the Dou Qi within his body, gently rubbing Little Heaven Swallowing Python's body as if he were playing with a jade ring, making it narrow its eyes contentedly.
"Old Man Hai still isn't coming over. He said he hasn't been back to Mo City in a few years and needs to experience it properly. He told us to find him after we leave the Holy City."
Before the person appeared, the voice rang out.
After finishing the sentence, Zi Yan finally appeared.
On the day they settled in the Holy City, Chen Xiao had sent Zi Yan to Mo City to explain the situation to Hai Bo Dong.
He did want to go himself, but the four Elders of the Snake-People Race would definitely not feel at ease letting him leave the Holy City. They would worry that he would abduct the Medusa Queen.
Therefore, Chen Xiao was too lazy to bother verifying the thoughts of the four Elders. He just let Zi Yan deliver the message. Anyway, she had nothing to do all day now.
"Alright, I estimate it won't be many more days. It won't take too long before..."
Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, he suddenly stood up.
Zi Yan, who was beside him, also had a slightly serious expression.
Just now, both of them sensed an extremely powerful aura sweeping over the Holy City. The intensity of that aura was no less than that of the powerhouses they had sensed in several large cities in the Black-Corner Region.
"A Dou Zong expert!"
"Not weaker than Old Man Su!"
Both of them had seen many Dou Huangs, and had extensive contact with the peak Dou Huang, Medusa Queen. At this moment, just by the aura of the newcomer, they could confirm.
The newcomer was undoubtedly a Dou Zong!
"Could it be that people from the Dan and Cao Families have arrived?"
After a moment of thought, Chen Xiao had a guess in his mind.
Buzz~
It was also at this moment that a strong light suddenly burst out from his room, causing both Chen Xiao and Zi Yan to instinctively squint their eyes.
The light flashed and disappeared, but the moment the light receded, Chen Xiao's thoughtful expression instantly froze, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down his back.
Because he could clearly feel that the Little Heaven Swallowing Python he was stroking had suddenly grown larger.
At the same time, the feel was becoming softer. Without even needing to look down, he could tell which part it was...
Without a change in expression, Chen Xiao withdrew his hand from the Medusa Queen's waist and quickly walked out of the room.
"It should be the person I've been waiting for. I'll go take a look. Zi Yan, follow me!"
Inside the room, Zi Yan hadn't recovered from the surprise of the Medusa Queen appearing when she saw Chen Xiao already spreading his Dou Qi wings and flying away.
"Sister Medusa, you can appear now!"
The Medusa Queen nodded gently, a slightly forced smile on her face as she responded to Zi Yan. Her gaze looked towards the sky outside the door, her silver teeth clenched, her bright eyes filled with killing intent.
Even with the Little Heaven Swallowing Python's soul dominating the body, she could still sense the outside situation.
Just now, sensing the aura of a Dou Zong expert sweeping over the Holy City, she appeared without having time to think too much.
She didn't expect
