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

Chapter 150 Your Majesty, I Need Your Help in My Cultivation… (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

Xiao Yue couldn't help but ponder.

She never expected that Queen Medusa would so directly remind her of the issue of the women around her…

She had never thought about this question before. Putting aside Queen Medusa in front of her, if Xun'er were to be married off to someone else one day, would she agree to it? The answer is definitely no.

Bring your thoughts back to the present.

Queen Medusa was looking at her intently, as if waiting for her answer.

Xiao Yue smiled gently, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans after Xiao Cai is born."

She won't let that happen—she'll marry someone else!
Xiao Yue thought to herself, “I will cherish those beautiful wings and hold them firmly in my hands. I can’t let them fly away.”

Queen Medusa's eyes flashed with a complex emotion upon hearing Xiao Yue's reply. She lowered her head slightly, her feelings unreadable.

Subsequently,

Xiao Yue then went to the temple of the snake people with Queen Medusa.

The temple is located in the southernmost center of the holy city. It is a magnificent building that soars into the clouds, seemingly reaching straight to the sky. It is surrounded by various mysterious serpent patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Upon arriving at the ancient site hidden deep underground, Xiao Yue saw four emaciated, white-haired, wrinkled old snake-woman women sitting cross-legged on the four cloud pillars of the main hall like four ghostly figures.

There were other peak Douhuang experts in the Snake-People's Holy City, a fact that Xiao Yue had vaguely sensed back then.

However, those four hidden auras were too decayed at the time, having been dormant underground for a long time. It seemed that they were barely maintaining their almost extinguished vitality thanks to something underground, and they were even unable to leave a certain area.

"They are the last guardians and the last line of defense of my people, and also the previous queens of the Serpent People," Queen Medusa said.

Over the past few hundred years,
The queens of the Snake-People tribe in the Tagor Desert have almost all possessed the strength of a peak Douhuang, but none of them have been able to successfully break through to Douzong and lead their people out of this desert.

The previous queens suffered severe backlash after failing to break through to the Dou Zong level, and their lives were nearing their end. They rarely had moments of lucidity. Although they were still alive, their souls were closely connected to this land, and they became part of the guardian snake people.

Unless the snake people are truly facing a life-or-death situation, they will not be disturbed by any external things.

The four elders of the snake-people tribe awoke one after another and exchanged polite greetings with Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue learned a rather important piece of information from them: although Xiao Cai's Devouring Python soul had merged into the fetus, it was conceived through the union of Xiao Yue's essence and blood with Queen Medusa, so unsurprisingly, there were some unexpected changes.

Simply put, a brand new life is being born, and that new little life and the Devouring Python Xiao Cai are twins!
"A symbiotic dual-soul entity, or twins?" Xiao Yue was slightly taken aback.

This means that one of the young lives was born from the union of her own blood and that of Queen Medusa! She will be her biological daughter.

Xiao Yue initially merged her essence and blood into Queen Medusa's body simply to ensure Xiao Cai's successful birth, but she hadn't anticipated this situation. She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, as this result was somewhat unexpected.

Meanwhile, Queen Medusa gently stroked her lower abdomen, seemingly surprised by the turn of events.

She and Xiao Yue exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, understanding each other without saying a word.

Anyway... let's give birth to the baby first.

Subsequently,

After the senior elders in the temple explained the situation and the materials and steps required to refine the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, they fell into a deep sleep once again.

When Queen Medusa emerged from the ancient temple, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she seemed to be in low spirits.

"If I had failed back then, I would have been one of those ancient temples in the future, my face aging, my life withering away, waiting for death to come..." Her Majesty the Queen's voice carried a barely perceptible sigh.

Xiao Yue listened quietly from the side. She could feel the turmoil in Queen Medusa's heart. This powerful queen must have been extremely uneasy when she faced the crossroads of her destiny.

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere had suddenly become somewhat heavy, Xiao Yue smiled and interrupted Queen Medusa's thoughts, a delicate little jade bottle suddenly appearing in her hand.

Queen Medusa's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt upon seeing this.

"I can't bear to see you age. This contains a youth-preserving pill that I developed. Although it's only a fifth-grade pill, it can keep you young forever and prevent your beauty from fading." Xiao Yue gently shook the small jade bottle in her hand, then handed it to Queen Medusa with a light laugh.

Queen Medusa was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously took the small jade bottle, opened the cap, and immediately a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

"I didn't expect you to have the time to study these things..." Queen Medusa murmured softly.

At least for now, she hasn't heard of anyone developing such a pill. Generally speaking, apart from some special wood-attribute cultivation techniques and a few secret methods, very few people can maintain their youth. Once lifespan begins to run out, no one can stop the physical aging process.

Therefore, there are probably very few people who can truly maintain their youth forever. If this elixir were put up for auction, it would surely be bought by various parties at high prices.

After all, the possibility of eternal youth is an irresistible temptation for any woman, one that is simply impossible to resist.

"I'm free anyway, so I'm just figuring out this kind of pill formula out of interest," Xiao Yue said with a smile.

Queen Medusa gave a soft hum, closed the small jade bottle again, and gently put it into her storage ring.

The two chatted idly as they slowly walked back to the palace.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yue became busy.

She first carefully studied the formula for the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, making sure she was familiar with every step of it.

……

Three days later,
Xiao Yue arrived at the highest point of the altar in the holy city of the Snake People and began refining pills.

"I'll have to trouble you with this tribulation..."

Xiao Yue looked at the beautiful woman in the black dress in the distance.

Bei Ming Xiaomeng nodded and said, "I will create a small spatial barrier around you to ensure you are not disturbed in any way."

Then, she gently formed a hand seal, and a faint black light emanated from her center, slowly spreading outwards.

With a hum, the space where Xiao Yue was located rapidly changed, like a time machine, and the surrounding scenery seemed to stretch out.

Even though it wasn't the first time she had seen this kind of technique, Xiao Yue was still somewhat surprised. This was the extent to which a Dou Zun expert had mastered the spatial domain. With every move, he could tear through space, and even opening up a long spatial tunnel was no problem.

Xiao Yue stood on the altar, summoning the ten-foot-tall Myriad Beasts Furnace, surrounded by various rare spiritual herbs and natural treasures, all of which were precious materials needed to refine the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill.

Xiao Yue adjusted her state, closed her eyes, and silently reviewed each step of the pill formula. Although it had only taken her three days, she had already thoroughly mastered the seventh-grade pill formula. "Sizzle!"

A blazing five-colored flame rose from the alchemy furnace, enveloping the spiritual herbs and ores within.

Various rare and precious medicinal herbs began to slowly melt under the burning of the five-colored flames, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance that was refreshing and delightful.

Refining a seventh-grade elixir is no easy task.

It will take at least a week. During this time, the people of the Snake-People Holy City will all look at her alchemy place with curiosity. This race is naturally not suited to the profession of alchemist, but that does not prevent them from showing envy in their eyes.

Xiao Yue was very famous in the Holy City, after all, she had indeed served as the Queen of the Snake-People Clan. Although the time was short, it was enough to leave a deep impression. After all, it was an unprecedented thing for a woman from another race to hold power over the entire Snake-People Clan.

Furthermore, her ambiguous and unclear relationship with Queen Medusa has filled the entire Serpent People race with prestige and awe towards her. Even those once unruly Battle King leaders are now completely convinced of her authority and follow her lead.

To put it bluntly, there are currently two queens among the snake people, one of whom is Xiao Yue!
Time flies by like water.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

In the past few days, Xiao Yue has hardly slept a wink, focusing all her attention on alchemy.

Queen Medusa and Bei Ming Xiaomeng stayed by Xiao Yue's side the whole time, their eyes never leaving her, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

As for Zi Yan... that little girl is too impulsive, and I don't know where she's run off to again. I guess she's probably off wreaking havoc on those magical beasts in the desert.

Just as the materials were about to fully fuse, the sky suddenly darkened, with dense clouds and rumbling thunder. This was an unusual phenomenon, foreshadowing the impending arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation of Pill Lightning.

All the snake people in the holy city looked up.
They all involuntarily held their breath, their minds captivated by this magnificent celestial phenomenon.

Xiao Yue was completely unaffected by the strange phenomena of heaven and earth. She focused intently on controlling the flames, refining the medicinal herbs into liquid one by one, and then precisely adjusting the proportions of the various liquids according to the instructions of the prescription.

As the elixir gradually took shape, the silver snakes in the dark clouds in the sky became increasingly dense.

"boom--!"

at this time,

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, heading straight for Xiao Yue, but it was blocked by the spatial barrier set up by the Dou Zun expert.

"Xiaomeng, can you capture those lightning tribulations?" Xiao Yue suddenly had an idea and asked the beautiful woman in the black dress in the distance.

Bei Ming Xiaomeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded. As she formed hand seals, a small black vortex appeared above Xiao Yue's head amidst flashes of black light.

"Rumble--"

Another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, but this time, it did not hit Xiao Yue directly. Instead, it was trapped inside the black vortex, where the lightning snake seemed to have a mind of its own, darting and crashing around haphazardly.

The lightning in the sky grew increasingly dense, each bolt containing astonishing energy.

Xiao Yue took the opportunity to continue refining pills. Her five-colored flames danced on the pill furnace, and the medicinal liquid gradually condensed and took shape, emitting an enticing medicinal fragrance.

at last,

After being tempered by countless thunderbolts, a crystal-clear pill, emitting a faint blood-red glow, slowly rose from the alchemy furnace, like a tiny star containing boundless power and vitality.

Just then, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the thunder stopped striking.

Queen Medusa breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill had been successfully refined, and now all that remained was to wait for it to be taken and observe its effects.

Thanks…

Her Majesty the Queen said softly.

Cheers erupted from the once-silent holy city below, as if celebrating this important moment.

"As expected of Queen Silver Moon!"

"The Seventh-Rank Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill has finally reappeared in the world, truly a blessing for our Snake-Human race!"

"I've heard that Her Majesty the Queen is pregnant with Lord Silvermoon's child. I, MacArthur, am optimistic about this marriage!" someone whispered excitedly below.

Hearing the jeers, Queen Medusa's proud eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment and unease. She glared fiercely at the snake-men who were making a fuss in the Holy City below, which immediately made those jeering snake-men shrink back.

Seeing Her Majesty the Queen's appearance, Xiao Yue couldn't help but find it amusing. Then, she shifted her gaze to the lightning snakes that were imprisoned in the air. As she watched the lightning snakes struggling in the air, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

Then she slowly extended a hand, and the lightning snakes that had been imprisoned by Bei Ming Xiaomeng seemed to be summoned and slowly flew into her hand.

After being confined by the space by Bei Ming Xiaomeng, a Dou Zun powerhouse, the power of these lightning tribulations had been reduced by more than half. Otherwise, with Xiao Yue's current strength, she wouldn't have been able to control them so easily.

Although the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill is only considered to be of a mid-to-high level among the seventh-grade pills, the tribulation it triggers is enough to make some Dou Zong experts take it seriously. After all, if one is not careful, at best one will be torn apart, and at worst one could be bedridden for half a year.

There are also many jokes on the mainland about people being struck dead by lightning while protecting alchemists.

"Om-!"

Under Xiao Yue's control, the lightning snakes began to disintegrate, and she extracted pure lightning energy bit by bit. After doing all this, she sealed the lightning essence into a jade box made of spatial storage jade.

"You intend to use this power of lightning to cultivate?"

Bei Ming Xiaomeng seemed to have guessed what Xiao Yue was going to do, so she asked with some surprise, as far as she knew, the other party did not seem to cultivate lightning-based techniques.

Xiao Yue nodded upon hearing this.

The energy within these thunderous sources is extremely pure, containing the most powerful and yang energy of heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to her cultivation.

Then she slowly looked at Queen Medusa, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Your Majesty, please don't forget the agreement between us."

Queen Medusa's eyes flashed with embarrassment and annoyance upon hearing this. Xiao Yue wanted to refine those extremely yang and powerful lightning essences for cultivation, and she... was also a part of helping the other party cultivate.

Seeing their encrypted conversation, Bei Ming Xiaomeng, who was standing next to them, seemed to gradually understand something. Although she tried her best not to think in the wrong direction, as that would make her seem dirty, she couldn't help but think about that aspect.

The woman in the black dress opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she could only remain silent. All I can say is... this couple is quite the ladies' man.

Zi Yan, who had just arrived, was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks. She could hear every word clearly, but she just couldn't understand it!
