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

Chapter 117 Bei Ming Xiao Meng, Signing the Contract (Two Chapters Combined, Please Subscribe)

"Ah! Damn it! What kind of flames are these!" In the dazzling flames with the luster of silver metal, Protector Mo was burned and jumped up and down, letting out a series of shrill screams.

The feeling of having one's soul tempered by the flames of Geng metal is not pleasant.

The already severely injured Protector Mo was now even more wounded, his soul almost transparent, and it seemed that he would turn into a wisp of smoke at any moment.

Then Xiao Yue waved her hand,
The cluster of Geng metal flames slowly dissipated, and then she took out a special green jade bottle from her storage ring. A suction force directly stuffed the soul of the Ink Protector into the jade bottle, and the whole action was completed in one go.

Then, flames of metal rose from her fingertips, swirling around the surface of the jade bottle before sealing its opening.

Previously, the White Tiger Divine Image was used too frequently in the underground palace, and eventually even the visualization in his mind was used to devour some kind of Myriad Soul Devouring Spirit Array. Both have now reached a point of saturation.

So she planned to leave the thing in the bottle for now, and then interrogate it properly about the information related to the Soul Palace after she had resolved things here.

……

"This bottle of pills has a mild effect. Take it to restore some of your strength and alleviate any aftereffects." Xiao Yue turned around, her bright blood-red eyes looking at Yun Yun, a bottle of crystal-clear pills floating in her hand, and handed it over.

At this moment, Yun Yun's face was slightly pale, like snow in early winter, exuding a sense of coldness and fragility. The sixth-grade Wind Spirit Pill she had taken in the underground palace earlier had allowed her to unleash extraordinary potential!

Now that the medicine had worn off, Yun Yun's strength was completely drained, and the series of battles she had just fought had left her physically and mentally exhausted. However, her noble and mature aura was not diminished; instead, it added a touch of delicate beauty.

"Um…"

Yun Yun nodded gently.

Unlike Queen Medusa, she did not refuse the pills offered by Xiao Yue. Instead, she accepted them and uncorked the bottle with her slender hand, releasing a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

Yun Yun poured out a pale blue pill, parted her lips slightly, and slowly swallowed it. Her originally pale and weak complexion immediately improved a lot.

Queen Medusa, watching from afar, snorted coldly in her heart, turned her head, and felt a surge of inexplicable dissatisfaction rising within her once again.

She was clearly the one who did the most work just now…

Xiao Yue noticed Queen Medusa's unusual behavior and couldn't help but smile, understanding the pride and self-esteem of this haughty queen.

She stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. I have a bottle of pills here."

"I have no need for these things!"

Queen Medusa snorted coldly.
Then, a burst of seven-colored divine light flashed across her alluring and slender body, and she transformed back into a seven-colored snake.

"Remember your promise! If you fail to refine your so-called 'Soul Fusion Pill' within three years, I will hold you accountable!" A faint voice carrying a hint of coldness came from the seven-colored snake's body.

The words fell,

Queen Medusa's soul went into hibernation, and control of her body was returned to Xiao Cai.

"Woo~"

After regaining control of its body, the colorful little snake swam around in the air for a few moments, looking somewhat bewildered.

Then, with a touch of affection, it flew to Xiao Yue's palm and gently licked her fingertips with its delicate little tongue.

Xiao Yue gently stroked Xiao Cai's smooth and soft snake scales, a smile flashing in her eyes.

After calming down Queen Medusa, Xiao Yue turned her attention to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Nine Netherworld Python.

"Thank you all for your help this time. It's just a small token of my appreciation, nothing to brag about..." Xiao Yue smiled slightly and waved her jade hand. Instantly, several bottles of pills appeared out of thin air and slowly floated towards the group of experts from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

These pills emitted a faint light and exuded a fragrant aroma. Judging from the energy fluctuations within them, they were clearly high-quality elixirs. Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

It seems that Xiao Yue is also an alchemist!

And that is indeed the case. These pills were all refined by Xiao Yue when she was in the Holy City of the Snake People. As for the source of the medicinal materials... they were naturally taken from Queen Medusa.

have to say,

This Queen Medusa was exceptionally generous; she directly granted Xiao Yue the opportunity to freely select various rare medicinal herbs from the treasure vault within the Holy City.

Xiao Yue, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony with her either!

So I used them all to practice in my spare time, and even took some with me in the end.

Liu Kunsheng, the fifth elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, reached out and took the floating pill. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he then said with a smile:
“Miss Xiao Yue, you are too kind. Our Heavenly Serpent Manor is on good terms with the Xiao family, and we also have some grudges with the Soul Palace. It is only right that we lend a helping hand this time.”

Hearing his words,
Xiao Yue and Yun Yun exchanged a strange glance. When did the Heavenly Serpent Mansion become on good terms with the Xiao family? The gap between the two families seemed too large.

Even when the old master of the Xiao family, who was a Dou Wang, was still alive, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to have an equal conversation with such a behemoth as the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, especially since they were geographically completely unrelated.

Could it be because of Qing Lin? Xiao Yue was somewhat puzzled.

She didn't know exactly how powerful the 'Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil' was, but Xiao Yue always felt that both the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King and this Fifth Elder seemed to be showing her a little too much respect.

Seeing that Xiao Yue's expression was a bit strange, the Fifth Elder said with a smile, "Miss Xiao Yue, there is no need to worry. This is all because the little girl Qing Lin was taken care of by the Xiao family before. For this reason, my Heavenly Serpent Mansion is willing to be on good terms with the Xiao family."

The Fifth Elder paused here, a hint of emotion on his face, and continued, "The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent, there are definitely no more than a handful of people who have possessed such eyes in thousands of years. Moreover, this physique has a very deep connection with our Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

Xiao Yue nodded upon hearing this.

She recalled Qinglin's eyes, which shone with a bright green light, and couldn't help but sigh. She never expected that the little girl she had unintentionally brought back would possess such a rare constitution.

However, the old man in front of them clearly hadn't told the whole story; there were probably other reasons behind the friendship between the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Xiao family…

Is it because of Xun'er?

Xiao Yue seemed to be deep in thought.
She couldn't help but think of the little girl with long, straight black hair who had followed her around since childhood. Not only was her identity mysterious, but she also had many skilled people secretly acting as her attendants.

Xiao Yue had met Xun'er's mysterious father once, and at the time she thought he was a bit stronger than Old Master Xiao. Now that she thought about it, it was a bit funny. It seemed that he was much stronger than just a little bit.

Seeing that she seemed to have guessed something, the Fifth Elder did not reveal much. In fact, he himself only obtained two words from a reclusive Dou Zun ancestor in the manor—the Imperial Clan!
Just two words,

This is enough to demonstrate the noble status of Miss Xun'er. She dares to call herself an "imperial family," and even the mighty Heavenly Serpent Mansion can only look up to her.

...

after that,

Xiao Yue then turned her gaze to the enormous Nine Netherworld Python. She was the key to this whole affair, and it could be said that everything started because of it. However, if she hadn't restrained Protector Mo, the situation would probably have been even more troublesome.

"I haven't yet asked your name?" Xiao Yue asked with a smile.

“Bei Ming… Xiao Meng”.

The Nine Netherworld Python seemed somewhat reluctant to utter these words.

Xiao Yue and the others raised their eyebrows slightly upon hearing this. They hadn't expected that this enormous creature, which stretched for tens of kilometers, would have such a pleasant name, and the voice sounded like that of a cold and aloof woman.

"You just said you could give me a new life, is that true or false?" The Nine Netherworld Python looked at Xiao Yue.

"Life and death are the natural laws of the universe, and it's not so easy to be reborn," Xiao Yue said with a light laugh.

"You fool me?"

Her tone suddenly turned cold.

She straightened her massive upper body and looked down at Xiao Yue, who was standing in the air. Her two snake eyes, which were like blood moons, began to radiate a dangerous light.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yun and the others from Tian She Fu immediately became alert.

Xiao Yue gestured for them to calm down.

She knew Bei Ming Xiaomeng's feelings at this moment. After all, for an ancient creature that had cultivated for countless years, being trapped underground for hundreds of years after death, rebirth was undoubtedly the greatest temptation.

“I’m not playing a trick on you, I’m just stating the facts,” Xiao Yue said seriously. “After all, bringing the dead back to life is an act against the natural order, it’s not that simple, the process must be incredibly difficult.”

"You wouldn't want to live your whole life looking like this, neither human nor ghost, would you?" Xiao Yue said.

Hearing her words,
Bei Ming Xiaomeng's cold gaze finally softened slightly. All that talk was just to get more money.

"Tell me your conditions. As long as they're not too unreasonable, I'll agree to anything..." She paused for a moment, then asked coldly.

Xiao Yue smiled slightly upon hearing this, knowing that this guy had already taken the bait.

However, she wasn't lying to him. She had heard Yao Chen mention the matter of resurrecting the dead when they were chatting, since his greatest wish was to win the battle and complete the resurrection.

The Nine Netherworld Python in front of them was in a much better condition than Yao Chen; at least its body was still intact! And it could still be used to some extent…

In comparison, Yao Chen was in a much worse state, with only a lonely soul remaining, his body burned to ashes by that wicked disciple.

"Two conditions need to be met to revive you."

Xiao Yue continued, "First, no matter what grudges you have with Venerable Cangyun, you are not allowed to seek revenge against her."

As she spoke, she pointed to Yun Yun beside her.

Bei Ming Xiaomeng's icy gaze fell on Yun Yun. She took a deep breath and finally said, "Okay, I promise you that."

Xiao Yue nodded in satisfaction, then said, "My second condition is that I need you to enter into a contract with her, otherwise I cannot trust you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qinglin beside her.

Seeing this, Xiao Qinglin looked at Xiao Yue with a blank expression.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the people from the Heavenly Serpent Palace. This seemed like a good idea, since their Heavenly Serpent Palace had always maintained good relations with snake-type magical beast families. Just like the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King, they were partners and allies. If they could invite that Nine Netherworld Python back as an offering, it wouldn't be bad.

"Today has truly been an eye-opening experience. I thought that seeing a live Devouring Python would be enough to shock the entire continent, but I never expected that even the Azure Serpent with Three Flower Pupils would appear!" As he spoke, the Northern Darkness Python gave Xiao Yue a deep look.

Today, she's been associated with both the Devouring Python and the Azure Serpent with Three-Flower Pupils, both seemingly having a significant connection to her.

"That's fine too! I agree to everything!"

The Nine Netherworld Python's reply was decisive; she had no other choice now.

If they remain trapped here, even if they are not captured by the Soul Palace, the news will attract the covetous eyes of other forces! After all, no one is immune to the allure of an eighth-tier magical beast's corpse.

Now that I'm down on my luck, I can only submit to others!
Forming a contract with the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil wasn't difficult for her to accept, after all, the little girl was the Holy Maiden of the 'Heavenly Serpent Mansion,' and a reclusive old man in this force had once had a good relationship with her.

Moreover, she knew better than anyone else about the future potential of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil! So she didn't resist much.

"Sister Xiao Yue, I..."

Little Green Scales, somewhat flustered, hurriedly spoke, clearly afraid of the enormous, cold-looking creature.

Xiao Yue gently patted the little girl's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, she won't hurt you."

Hearing her words,
The little girl, who had been timid, finally felt a little more at ease and nodded obediently. She could choose not to believe anyone, but only the words of Sister Xiao Yue and Sister Xun'er could make her obey unconditionally.

"let's start."

The Nine Netherworld Python spoke, looking down at the little girl, her cold gaze softening slightly.

Little Qinglin nodded timidly, and then the little girl and the enormous creature began to stare at each other.

The three small green dots in her pupils suddenly shone brightly, and in an instant, they transformed into three extremely tiny green flowers.

"Buzz!"

As the eerie green flower appeared, a burst of intense, ghostly light suddenly shot out from it, illuminating the enormous Nine Netherworld Python in front of it.

Then, three strange, petal-like marks were imprinted on the head of the Nine Netherworld Python. A moment later, the tiny flowers in Qinglin's eyes quickly faded away, and in an instant, it returned to its usual emerald green.

"Sister Xiao Yue, the contract has been signed, but how am I going to take her enormous body with me? I can't fit her in there."

Little Green Scale said, somewhat bewildered and at a loss,

Now, the Nine Netherworld Python has lost all its cultivation and is only a shell. It can no longer transform into human form, let alone change its size!
Moreover, the other party's movements are restricted; once they leave this place, they will be unable to move, which is a real problem.

"Woo~"

At this moment, the seven-colored snake on Xiao Yue's shoulder suddenly flew above the Nine Netherworld Python.

The beautiful and adorable little creature opened its mouth, and a burst of seven-colored divine light shot out from it, directly enveloping the massive body of the Nine Netherworld Python!
Bei Ming Xiaomeng seemed to know what the other party wanted to do, so she did not resist the strange seven-colored divine light.

quickly,

With the Nine Netherworld Python offering no resistance, its enormous corpse gradually shrank until it became the size of a small, seven-colored snake.

"You actually have this ability?"

Yun Yun watched this scene with some surprise.
"That's why it's called the 'Heaven-Swallowing Python,' isn't it? The name 'Heaven-Swallowing' isn't just for show..." Xiao Yue chuckled.

Yun Yun nodded upon hearing this, shrunk the food, and swallowed it whole. This novel fighting technique was probably a unique bloodline talent of the Devouring Python clan.

Don't say

After the Nine Netherworld Python transformed into the size of a small rainbow, it actually looked quite cute...
