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

"Little miss, have you eaten enough?!"

A heart-wrenching roar suddenly echoed from the Myriad Medicine Mountains within the Medicine Garden Small World controlled by Danta. The two seventh-tier magical beasts at the Dou Zong level at the entrance of the Small World's main hall raised their eyes upon hearing the sound, then lowered their heads as if they hadn't heard it.

Deep within the grand hall built of massive mountain rocks lies an extremely spacious plaza. At this moment, the plaza is filled with countless medicinal herbs, all neatly arranged. Anyone who comes here would be immediately dumbfounded. Any one of these items would be enough to make many alchemists drool, but here, they are as common as cabbages!
Among the many rare and precious materials, there was a burly, bare-chested man. He stood casually, but he gave people a sense of stability and weight, like a mountain, and no one dared to underestimate him.

However, at this moment, the burly man, who was clearly no ordinary person, was looking at the center of the square with tears in his eyes. There, a petite figure was grabbing a medicinal herb that looked extremely rare and stuffing it into Xiao Di's mouth without any politeness. The crisp sound of biting it made the burly man's heart bleed.

"Stop howling! Once I've eaten my fill and found everyone, I'll take you all away from here. Don't worry, breaking through space is nothing, that's my specialty..."

The petite figure muttered as she ate, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the burly man's heartache.

Upon hearing this, the burly man felt an unbearable pain in his heart. Each of the rare medicinal herbs filling the square was priceless; he had guarded them for so many years, and now this little girl was casually munching on them like snacks. If word got out, the entire Central Plains would be shaken. However, facing this little girl who seemed to have no remorse whatsoever, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Grandma, could you please eat a little slower? My heart is breaking..." The big man pleaded, his face contorted with distress.

Upon hearing this, the petite figure finally stopped chewing the half-eaten elixir. She raised her head, revealing a delicate and lovely face, but her eyes gleamed with a cunning light, like a kitten that had successfully stolen some fish.

The little purple-haired girl glanced at the big man, a smug smile playing on her lips, and said, "Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll reluctantly tell you some good news."

Upon hearing this, the burly man's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Grandma, is this related to the quota for the Dragon Blood Holy Spring?"

He was well aware of the true identity of the young lady in front of him. If there was any good news, it must be related to his race's bloodline. As a member of the Primordial Dragon Bear Clan, he was related to the Dragon Clan by blood. If he could get on the good side of this young lady, it would be a good thing.

"Hehe, let me tell you..."

Just as the petite figure was muttering, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed in the center of the square. It was Xiao Yue. She smiled and looked at Zi Yan, who was wolfing down her food, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"You little rascal, you really haven't changed your ways. You love to steal food wherever you go." Xiao Yue's voice was gentle, but it carried a hint of reproach.

The sudden sound startled the burly man. He turned around and saw a silver-haired woman and a graceful and noble woman who had appeared in the medicine hall at some point.

With his initial Dou Zun strength, he was completely unaware of the arrival of the two!
Upon hearing the sound, Zi Yan abruptly raised her head, her delicate face filled with surprise. She hurriedly stuffed the thousand-year-old spiritual herb fruit into her mouth, her mouth brimming with medicinal juices and elixirs, and mumbled indistinctly:
"Xiao Yue, you really are here! It wasn't for nothing that I went through all that trouble to sneak into this little world!"

The silver-haired woman smiled and shook her head, then pointed to the beautiful woman beside her and said, "I came here to accompany Senior Xuan Yi. But what about you? How did you sneak into this small world of the medicine garden managed by the Pill Tower?"

Seeing this, Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Those old folks in the clan are too long-winded. I just thought this place was fun and wanted to come and see it. Mainly, I heard about you."

"And the herbs here smell so good, I couldn't help but...hehe~" The purple-haired girl wiped the herbal juice from her mouth with a charmingly innocent expression.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh. She walked to Zi Yan's side, gently patted the little girl's head, and said, "You really know how to pick a place, but this isn't a place you can just wander around in."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan quickly nodded and said, "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again, please don't spank me."

Her words were naturally unreliable; Xiao Yue had heard them countless times before, such as "I won't do it again next time."

"This little girl is naughty, please forgive her, Senior Xuan Yi..." Xiao Yue turned to the beautiful woman beside her and said.

Xuan Yi nodded without asking any further questions. She glanced at Zi Yan, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She seemed to have guessed a bit about the little girl's identity and background, which was probably related to the Dragon Clan.

After all, the only ones who could make Xiong Zhan, a powerful Dou Zun from the ancient Dragon Bear Clan, submit to him were probably the mysterious and unpredictable Ancient Void Dragons. It's just unknown which lineage of the Dragon Clan this little girl came from.

Xiao Yue said softly to Zi Yan, "The Danhui competition is still ongoing, but it's still early. You can stay by my side and play for a while, but remember, don't let me see you eating anything indiscriminately again."

The little girl in the purple dress nodded vigorously upon hearing this, then pointed to Xiong Zhan beside her and said, "Let's bring Big Guy along too. He's a Dou Zun, after all, he'd be a good henchman. His name is Xiong Zhan, I call him Big Guy. He's the boss of the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains, hehe, all the rare and precious herbs here are under his control."

When the words "heavenly treasures" and "spiritual herbs and fruits" were mentioned, the little girl couldn't help but chuckle foolishly, raising her delicate white hand to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth. Sure enough, she couldn't stop talking about food.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue and the beautiful woman beside her glanced at the burly man beside them, but didn't pay much attention. They simply nodded and then looked away.

This nonchalant attitude made Xiong Zhan breathe a sigh of relief, secretly feeling fortunate. As the overlord of the Medicine Garden Small World, he naturally knew the identity of that beautiful woman. She was one of the three giants of the Pill Tower, a peak nine-star Dou Zun level expert, far beyond what a mere beginner Dou Zun like him could possibly mess with.

And that silver-haired woman always gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth. Although he couldn't discern her specific cultivation level, her composure and calmness suggested she was no ordinary person.

None of them are people we can afford to mess with!

"Hey, you big guy, what are you standing there for? Xiao Yue is someone I'm very close to. Come over and pay your respects to your big sister's big sister. Xiao Yue is the world's number one alchemist. She might just concoct a pill for you as a reward. You'll be getting a great deal." Zi Yan, showing her two little tiger teeth, bared her teeth and said to Xiong Zhan. "Ahem, since Miss Zi Yan has said so, then I shall respectfully accept and serve you both." Xiong Zhan coughed, trying to appear more dignified, even though his heart was already churning with turmoil, afraid that he might accidentally offend these masters.

Seeing this, Zi Yan jumped up, patted his shoulder, and laughed, "Big guy, don't worry. As long as you pay protection money regularly from now on, with me here, I guarantee no one will dare to bully you. You'll get a spot in the Dragon Island Holy Blood Baptism!"

Although the little girl is greedy and mischievous, she is quite loyal when it matters.

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, took Zi Yan's small hand, and turned to walk into the depths of the small world. Senior Xuan Yi followed closely behind, his gaze deep, as if he was thinking about something important.

Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and secretly made a face, but her eyes were still searching for a target to "taste," clearly a little liar.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the little girl, they arrived at the huge stone palace on the mountaintop within minutes. At the entrance of the stone palace, two ferocious demonic beasts lay prostrate. When they saw Xiao Yue's unfamiliar face, they immediately stood up and roared in a deep, angry voice.

"Let's play while we're at it."

Zi Yan led the way, casually waving her small hand. The two seemingly ferocious high-level magical beasts let out a low whimper, then tucked their tails between their legs and quickly retreated far away. They felt a sense of oppression from Zi Yan's bloodline, which made them have no will to resist.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman beside her seemed to be deep in thought. Both of these magical beasts had reached the seventh level of strength, but they were suppressed and unable to raise their heads in front of Zi Yan, which further confirmed her previous guess.
Following Zi Yan, we walked briskly into the stone hall, passed through several corridors, and finally arrived at the spacious square inside the hall.

As soon as Xiao Yue stepped into the square, a strong, almost viscous, medicinal aroma rushed towards her.

"Soaring Dragon Flower Heart, Crimson Flame Fruit, Sulfur Flame Spirit Saliva"

Xiao Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she scanned the neatly arranged medicinal herbs in front of her. These things were extremely rare in the outside world, but here they were placed here as casually as cabbages.

"Did you move all the rare and precious medicinal herbs from the entire Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range here?" Xiao Yue shook her head, finding it somewhat amusing.

Seeing this from afar, Xuan Yi couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly. It really was like a thief had broken into the house. She wondered where all those rare and precious materials from the outer perimeter of this small world had gone. It turned out that they had been packed up and collected here!
"Xiao Yue, you can choose anything here and take it all with you. It's all going to benefit someone else anyway!" The little girl in the purple dress grinned, revealing her sharp canine teeth, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes.

The beautiful woman behind her twitched her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this. If Xiao Yue hadn't been there, she almost wouldn't have been able to resist taking action and disciplining this arrogant little rat who had stolen someone else's spiritual medicine.

Xiao Yue naturally noticed the beautiful woman's emotional change. She shook her head, slapped away Zi Yan's eager, unclean little hand, and casually asked:
"By the way, where's Xiaomeng? Isn't she with you?"

Zi Yan left the Northwest Continent with Bei Ming Xiao Meng. Bei Ming Xiao Meng was quite familiar with the Central Continent, and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan and the Ancient Void Dragon were both top members of the magical beast world. Therefore, Bei Ming Xiao Meng and Zi Yan went to the Central Continent first to help her find her clansmen.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's smile faded, and she said with a hint of distress, "I was just about to tell you about this. After Sister Bei Ming helped me sense the exact coordinates of Dragon Island, she left on her own, saying she was going to the ancestral land of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan to receive her inheritance."

Xiao Yue didn't interrupt, waiting for her to continue. After all, if that were all, the little girl wouldn't have made such an expression. Sure enough, Zi Yan's next sentence made her furrow her brows slightly.

"Sister Xiaomeng was sealed away for over a thousand years. Although this amount of time is nothing for the long-lived Nine Netherworld Pythons, it was during these thousand years that an extremely tragic internal strife broke out within the Nine Netherworld Python clan, and their clan leader has been missing for several hundred years..."

Zi Yan counted on her fingers, her delicate face showing some annoyance. She herself had only recently received this news from Dragon Island, and before she could tell Bei Ming Xiaomeng, the other party had already left.

She secretly ran away from Dragon Island without telling the elders, and dared not go to the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan alone, so she could only come to the Pill Gathering to find Xiao Yue first.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue had a general idea of ​​what was going on, but she still had some questions. After all, the internal strife of the Nine Netherworld Pythons had occurred eight or nine hundred years ago, and it shouldn't have anything to do with Bei Ming Xiao Meng, since she had been sealed away in the Northwest Continent for nearly a thousand years without anyone caring about her.

"Sister Xiaomeng hasn't told you yet, has she? Her grandfather was the previous patriarch of the Nine Nether Earth Python clan, and that previous patriarch disappeared long ago during the internal strife and coup within the Nine Nether clan."

“This makes Xiaomeng’s identity sensitive and complicated. She is a direct descendant of the Nine Netherworld Python clan. This time she chose to return to the ancestral land to receive the inheritance. I’m worried that something might happen to her,” Ziyan explained.

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes. Bei Ming Xiaomeng's grandfather was the old patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python clan. She had never heard him mention this before. This woman was quite good at hiding her identity.

"Let's not rush this matter. If Xiaomeng really encounters trouble, with her strength, she should be able to handle it. After the Pill Gathering, we can go to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan." Xiao Yue said slowly after thinking for a moment.

The Bei Ming Xiaomeng she knew was no reckless person. That seemingly cold beauty in the black dress was actually quite cunning, and there was no way she would be completely unaware of the internal strife within the clan.

After all… Bei Ming Xiaomeng, as the direct granddaughter of the clan leader, was sealed for nearly a thousand years, and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan remained completely silent. This suggests some suspicious points, and the Bei Ming Xiaomeng that Xiao Yue knew could not possibly have been unaware of this!
"The Nine Netherworld Python Clan?"

Xiao Yue murmured to herself. Although she was certain that Bei Ming Xiaomeng wouldn't easily meet with disaster, she still needed to find time to investigate the Nine Netherworld Python clan, after all, she and Bei Ming Xiaomeng had known each other for so many years...
