Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 103 Who is in favor and who is against

"Now, I order you to withdraw your troops. Who agrees and who disagrees?" Xiao Yue said calmly, gently stroking the playful and adorable seven-colored snake.

She sat on the high throne of the temple.
The beautiful little snake darted nimbly between her fingers, making soft, coquettish sounds, as if responding to Xiao Yue's gentle caresses, adding a touch of liveliness to the otherwise serious scene.

Whenever Xiao Yue spoke, the little snake would stand up and make a soft hissing sound, as if cheering her on.

Upon hearing this, the snake people fell silent, their gazes fixed intently on Xiao Yue.

At this moment, the human woman sitting high on the throne had completely taken control of the situation. Her own queen, now transformed into the Devouring Python, was still in the other party's hands, and they could only obediently listen to whatever she said.

At this time,

Just as the other snake-man fighting kings were still at a loss, the old man in black robes and hemp clothing stepped forward. He spoke calmly and indifferently, "Her Majesty the Queen has not yet awakened. If you are indeed the Queen's appointed chief minister of the House of Representatives, you are naturally qualified to order us to withdraw our troops."

The old man's voice was cold and calm, devoid of any emotion, as if stating a fact. He paused, his gaze sweeping coldly over Gu He and his group, before speaking icily:
“But these humans trespassed into our holy city without permission, disturbing the millions of snake people in the city, and causing widespread destruction. According to the rules of our snake people, they should be punished with the punishment of being devoured by ten thousand snakes! We cannot withdraw our troops until we have captured those villains.”

The old man in black robes and hemp clothing was named Yin Shi. He was a highly respected elder among the snake-people. Although his cultivation was only at the eight-star Dou Wang level, which was not the top among the twenty-odd Dou Wang experts of the snake-people, his words carried great weight.

As Yin Shi finished speaking, a murmur arose around them. Many snake people began to whisper among themselves, discussing the matter. Clearly, Yin Shi's words had struck a chord with them and given them an excuse not to retreat.

Above the throne in the temple,
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but sigh. "Old foxes are shrewder," she thought. "This guy is much better than that big, dumb guy who was all about fighting and muscle." At least he spoke logically and his tone was normal.

"Old Yin is right, we will not retreat!" Following the words of the old man in black robes and hemp clothing, many snake people quickly began to respond.

Seeing this, Gu He and the others in the distance felt a pang of anxiety and quickly moved closer to Yun Yun.

Yun Yun frowned slightly, having already made up her mind that if these snake people really wanted to make a move, she would simply grab Xiao Yue and lead Gu He and his group to break through and leave.

"Quiet…"

Xiao Yue, seated atop the throne in the temple, spoke.
The seven-colored, sky-devouring python on her fingertip hissed in response, and the little creature stood up. Instantly, an invisible bloodline suppression emanated from its body, quickly silencing the surrounding noise, and the arena fell silent once more.

After they all quieted down,

Xiao Yue then looked at Yun Yun beside her and said with a light laugh, "What he said makes sense. You just barged in like this and made a mess of the Holy City. Tell me what you're going to do about it?"

Yun Yun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then a look of understanding flashed in her beautiful eyes as she slowly shifted her gaze to the Pill King Guhe not far away.

Gu He, being a shrewd man, quickly said, "Forcibly entering the noble holy city was indeed impolite on our part. I will certainly compensate for the losses caused today!" "Compensate?"

The old man in black robes and hemp clothing spoke coldly: "Do you think our snake-people are so easily dealt with? You think you can settle this matter with mere compensation? That's far too frivolous."

In fact, Guhe and his group did not make the situation too serious. After all, since entering the city, they had been holding back and had not caused any deaths, just to avoid going too far and making things difficult to handle.

Otherwise, with Yun Yun's destructive power at the Douhuang level, she could have wiped out a large number of the snake-people with a wave of her hand! Just now, when Gu He was about to kill someone for the sake of the strange fire, he was also knocked unconscious for a while by the tail of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python that flew out of the temple, and failed to succeed.

So now everyone can see that this old guy Yin Shi has some intention of settling things peacefully, but he just doesn't want to let Gu He and his group off so easily for the time being. After all, a sixth-grade alchemist is such a fat sheep, everyone would want to take a bite out of him. How can he not take advantage of such a good opportunity?

Gu He couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this. He knew that this was going to be an exorbitant demand, but the situation was beyond his control, and they were in the wrong. If they didn't bleed a lot today, they probably wouldn't be able to let it go.

"I am willing to offer one Douling Pill and ten Juling Pills, which can help Douling rise one or two stars, as compensation for my offense today!" Gu He took a deep breath and said.

As soon as these words came out,
A series of swallowing sounds immediately filled the arena. After all, reaching the level of Dou Ling or Dou Wang, it is no easy task to improve one star of strength. Now, only one pill is needed to easily improve one star, which is why alchemists on the continent are so sought after.

The surrounding snake-people, including some powerful warriors who had reached the King of Fighters, all had different expressions, clearly showing that they were all somewhat tempted.

The old man in black robes and hemp clothing also changed his expression slightly, clearly not expecting Gu He to be so generous. However, he was an old fox after all, and quickly regained his composure, coldly saying, "These pills are indeed precious, but they are not enough to make up for the losses of our Holy City."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Gu He frowned, sensing that the old man was being somewhat insatiable.

“Mr. Guhe should know that our Snake-People race craves alchemists.” The old man in black robes and hemp clothing squinted. “I would like to invite you to stay with our Snake-People race for a few days.”

A commotion immediately erupted around them. Upon hearing this, Gu He's face darkened. He naturally understood what this so-called "guest" meant. The old man in black robes and hemp clothing clearly intended for him to stay in the Holy City for a long time to refine medicine for him. He certainly had a clever plan.

At this time,

Yun Yun, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke slowly. Her voice was clear and calm, “Since you are so sincere in inviting us to stay here as guests, we can’t refuse. Let’s stay for a few days. I’m also quite curious about your Snake-People’s Holy City. It’ll be a good opportunity to experience the scenery of this ancient holy city.”

The old man in black robes and hemp clothing was speechless upon hearing this.

He wanted Gu He to stay, as for Yun Yun, this human Dou Huang, he was too busy trying to expel her. Who would dare to keep such a walking human nuclear bomb in their home?!
