Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 631 Queen Medusa's Method
Across the Black Corner Plain, and lying before the Gama Empire, lies the Tager Desert.

The habitat of the snake people.

Once upon a time, the snake people and humans fought for hundreds of years to seize a place to live. In the end, the humans won and, under the leadership of the Yunlan Sect, drove the snake people to this desert.

However, when Xiao Yan stepped into the Tager Desert again, he sensed something was amiss.

The environment remains harsh, and the city itself has not changed, but the people inside are different.

There are not only snake people, but also humans.

Since their parting at Canaan Academy, Xiao Yan had not received any news about the Gama Empire and the Snake-People Clan. Seeing them now brought him a rare sense of relief.

Clearly, under Hun Ruoruo's arrangement, everything was progressing extremely smoothly.

Not only did the Serpent People and the Gama Empire not fight to the death, but they even began to prosper, showing signs of merging.

There is more than just hostility between races.

Although the Snake People and humans are almost irreconcilably opposed, Xiao Yan, who is inside the Jia Ma Empire, does not actually harbor much hatred towards this race, simply because they have not harmed his relatives.

Of course, not harboring hatred does not mean that Xiao Yan can forgive the snake people on behalf of humanity.

Such a deep-seated hatred cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it firsthand, and that is why he did not interfere with the decision of the Gama Empire.

"Soul Clan."

For some reason, this thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Yan's mind.

He suddenly realized that the relationship between the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan seemed quite similar to the scene before him.

Both are locked in endless conflict and have deep-seated hatred, but the Soul Clan's sins are even greater than those of the Snake-People Clan. Can he forgive the Xiao Clan on their behalf?
The answer is obviously no.

But the girl he deeply loved happened to come from that ethnic group.

Once upon a time, Xiao Yan could confidently say, "Bloodline cannot determine one's stance, especially since Ruoruo has already abandoned her identity as a member of the Soul Clan."

But now, that's no longer an option.

She has already acknowledged her identity as a member of the Soul Clan, and it's all for her own sake.

Xiao Yan's usually calm mind was stirred by waves of emotion.

He strode forward, blending into the crowd of travelers, and slowly walked toward the city.

Ultimately, you have to find the answer yourself.

In the desert, the holy city of the snake people.

Clear water, extremely rare in the desert, was now being sprayed freely in the center of the holy city, dispelling the heat of passing visitors.

Some snake-woman women dressed in daring attire would even actively sell jewelry and clothing to passing humans. Their exotic looks, coupled with their hot and alluring figures, immediately attracted a large number of men and women.

Looking at the scene before him, even Xiao Yan, with his broad perspective, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

It's so harmonious.

Thinking back to when he was searching for the strange fire in the Tager Desert, let alone entering the Holy City, even getting half a step closer to the core area would bring him endless pursuit by the Snake People.

But now, in just a few short years, such a huge change has taken place; it's no exaggeration to say it's been a complete upheaval.

"Sir, sir!" came the woman's voice.

When Xiao Yan turned his head, a petite and beautiful young snake woman had already swayed her waist and rushed over, just managing to block his way.

"Sir, that is our Queen's palace. Please do not go any further."

"Queen Medusa's palace?" Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He glanced sideways into the distance, stared intently for a long time, and finally recognized the shape of the palace.

That elegantly designed hall was none other than the one where Queen Medusa had witnessed her evolution.

However, compared to the magnificent palace of the past, this one was noticeably smaller, and the pool that had once been filled with icy spring water had now become a signboard placed in the center of the holy city. She really went all out.

Xiao Yan smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the snake-woman girl: "I apologize, I was unaware of this and had no intention of disturbing the noble queen."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the snake-woman hurriedly shook her head and lowered her voice, saying:
"Please don't talk nonsense, guest. If Her Majesty the Queen hears this, she will definitely scold us."

Xiao Yan was taken aback.

"Judging from your appearance, you shouldn't be from the Gama Empire, right?" The snake-woman pulled him aside, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Xiao Yan didn't offer any further explanation.

“No wonder.” The snake-woman girl said with a smile, “You don’t know, our snake-woman race has long since merged with the Gama Empire. The current queen is one of the leaders of the Gama Empire, the kind who sits on equal footing with the royal family.”

"The Queen and the Royal Family are on equal footing?"

"Yes, although Her Majesty's cultivation is unparalleled in the Gama Empire, our Snake-People race as a whole is not as powerful as the royal family. It was Her Majesty who took the initiative to make concessions, which led to the current situation."

Logically speaking, in the Dou Qi Continent, strength is paramount.

Queen Medusa is incredibly powerful, and she is rightfully the leader of the entire Gama Empire. No one would dare to object to this, anywhere.

But she didn't do that; instead, she chose to concede.

What surprised Xiao Yan even more was that when this matter was mentioned, the snake-woman girl not only showed no dissatisfaction, but instead seemed proud of it.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan humbly asked for advice: "But as far as I know, the Snake People and the Jia Ma Empire have a long-standing feud. Even if the Queen has absolute authority, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to change this mindset from the bottom of her heart."

"No." The snake-woman girl suddenly raised her head: "We can change it."

"Our snake people have always had only one goal: to move away from this hellish place and find a land suitable for us to live on. And only Her Majesty the Queen has accomplished this."

"She led us to stop the war, and no one has died fighting for their homeland since. She allowed us snake people to freely enter and leave the Gama Empire, and even live and work in peace there. To do all this, she was willing to humble herself and let the royal family sit on equal footing with her."

“From then on, we were no longer thieves who coveted other people’s land. We could also protect our own homeland in a legitimate way. She revived the snake people.”

The snake-woman's voice sounded rather weak, yet it carried an unwavering resolve: "Whoever does not obey her will, we will kill."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was quickly replaced by a clamor of voices, as if he had blended into the crowd.

Looking at the delicate young woman before him, whose eyes held a fierce glint, Xiao Yan paused, then suddenly smiled: "You're her bodyguard?"

"what?"

The snake-woman girl was startled, then realized her lapse in composure, her pretty face instantly turning bright red with embarrassment: "I, I'm just a merchant here, I don't have such powerful cultivation."

Her cultivation level was merely that of a Dou Zhe; she had no ability to protect Her Majesty the Queen. At most, she could only talk a good game.

"Is it."

Xiao Yan shook his head, then gave her a rather formal bow and said earnestly, "Thank you, Miss."

"Hey, why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

Upon seeing the black-robed man suddenly bow slightly, the snake-woman was clearly startled and even panicked.

"You look so gloomy, did you have a fight with your wife? If you need anything, you can buy clothes from my store, I guarantee girls will love them!"

“…?” Xiao Yan frowned as he looked at her.

The girl's expression stiffened slightly. She quickly pointed to the revealing outfit she was holding in her hand and said cautiously, "I... I can give you a discount."

"."

"."

"can."

Xiao Yan didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
