Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 419 Expansion of the Flame Alliance

After the meal, Medusa almost spat out her tea because of something Qin Yueyao said.

"How many months?" Qin Yueyao asked softly, her eyes burning as she gazed at Medusa's slender waist.

Perhaps this is a common concern in the hearts of all parents. When their children grow up, they start to care about their children's offspring, and Qin Yueyao is no exception.

Medusa intended to unfold the story gradually, but unexpectedly, a single cup of wine directly revealed her relationship with Xiao Yan.

Now that Qin Yueyao has asked about the child, Medusa is at a loss for words.

After all, she wasn't an ordinary human being; her pregnancy was so long that it was hard for anyone to accept.

Xiao Yan came to the rescue, saying, "Medusa is originally a snake-person, and her physique is very different from that of humans, so she cannot be judged by common sense."

Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded. This kind of inter-racial marriage was indeed a bit special. He felt quite proud when he thought that his son had actually become friends with Medusa.

Qin Yueyao raised an eyebrow, suddenly becoming somewhat worried.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for snake people and humans to conceive. However, there are always exceptions. If a pregnancy does occur, the child born usually does not live past the age of two.

This is some information she learned while taking care of Qinglin. Qinglin's ability to grow up so healthily is truly a very special existence.

I wonder if there will be any difference if a snake-woman becomes pregnant with a human child?

Xiao Yan continued, "At this moment, Medusa has evolved into the ancient demonic beast Devouring Python, and it's normal for it to take several years."

Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed quite knowledgeable about this, Qin Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief. There shouldn't be any safety issues, it's just that this will take a really long time.

Qin Yueyao smiled and said, "After saying so much, you still haven't said how many months it has been?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment: "It's been more than two years."

Xiao Zhan was immediately taken aback; it seemed that nothing had changed in more than two years.

Qin Yueyao was also stunned by Medusa's slender waist.

"I suffered a lot when I was pregnant with this boy," Qin Yueyao complained.

Medusa looked at Xiao Yan with some curiosity. Although the two had a child, she didn't know much about Xiao Yan. She wondered what he was like when he was a child.

Qin Yueyao saw through Medusa's thoughts: "Let's go, I'll take you to your place."

Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan before following Qin Yueyao.

Not long after the two left, Xiao Linlong, dressed in a gray robe, strode in.

Xiao Yan hadn't looked closely before, but now, under the powerful perception of his soul force, he immediately sensed that his grandfather's pure and powerful Dou Qi was far superior to that of an ordinary person who had just broken through to the Dou Zong realm.

Everyone has their own unique characteristics.

Just like his grandfather, whose talent was only average, he needed to slowly mature and accumulate experience.

Only by acquiring even stronger techniques in the future can one achieve the goal of accumulating strength and then unleashing it.

This is also an important reason why he did not rashly interfere.

Xiao Lin looked his grandson up and down several times. Even though he had broken through to become a Dou Zong, he felt as if he were facing a bottomless abyss. His Dou Qi was inexhaustible, which meant that his strength was extremely terrifying.

After smiling with great satisfaction, Xiao Lin suddenly posed a question to Xiao Yan: "Do you know anything about that old man Nalan Jie?"

"It's said that they were poisoned by the branding venom of the Branding Iron Poison Python, and none of the alchemists could cure them." Xiao Yan nodded and succinctly stated what he knew.

There were only the three of them in the room, and Xiao Zhan didn't hide anything: "This is the Nalan family's retribution."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan's expression changed: "Father, when you brought this up again, you wouldn't be asking Yan'er to save Nalan Jie, would you? They are..."

Xiao Lin raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Zhan: "I know what you're going to say, but I'm not doing this simply to save Nalan Jie."

Xiao Zhan stared wide-eyed in confusion. Was it not to save Nalan Jie?

"Yan'er's recently established Yan Alliance aims to recruit forces of all sizes. Surely she won't give up the largest region of the Jia Ma Empire?" Xiao Lin asked rhetorically.

Then, he began to explain his reasons in detail.

"The Nalan family used to have a close relationship with our Xiao family, so our Xiao family's attitude toward them will greatly influence the opinions of the observing forces toward the Yan Alliance."

Xiao Lin made no attempt to hide his feelings, saying, "Killing those people is easy, but winning their sincere allegiance requires some methods, not just absolute force."

As he spoke, Xiao Lin sighed, "Everyone has their downfall, and even an empire has its day of reckoning. If we can lend a helping hand to the Nalan family, it will demonstrate the magnanimity of the Xiao family and lower the guard of other forces."

Xiao Zhan explained to Xiao Yan that he had already told Xiao Lin about the events that had happened in recent years, including the recent events involving the Yan Alliance.

Xiao Yan nodded knowingly; this was indeed the correct answer.

As long as Yun Yun is alive, she will naturally not watch her disciple's grandfather die, and it's only a matter of time before she asks her to take action.

How could Xiao Yan refuse a request from someone who had done him a great favor?

Moreover, the situation in the Gama Empire is completely different from that in the Izumo Empire. His family is right here, and he can't possibly attack each and every other power one by one.

Of course, these smaller forces aren't worth him expending too much effort on right now.

Seeing that Xiao Yan showed no objection whatsoever, Xiao Lin was more pleased with Xiao Yan's magnanimous nature than with his strength.

"With the Nalan family, Yunlan Sect, and Mittel family taking the lead in joining the Flame Alliance, I believe other forces will surely follow suit, including the Nagama royal family, and they will genuinely join the Flame Alliance to seek common progress."

Xiao Zhan looked at his son: "The Nalan family wields immense power in the Jia Ma Empire and has also allied themselves with the Yunlan Sect, yet they are helpless against that branding poison. This shows how potent the poison is. Are you confident in your abilities?"

Xiao Yan said, "To cure that branding poison is actually a piece of cake for me. When will you go?"

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. I think that old guy Nalan Jie might not be able to hold on for much longer," Xiao Lin said, standing up.

"Then let's do it now." Xiao Yan stood up with a smile. Once he had trained a team, he could send them to the Black Corner Region to continue collecting cultivation materials for him.

This is another benefit of the strange fire condensing into a fire spirit.

After all, no matter how big a person's appetite is, many pills can only be enjoyed once, but with those fire spirits, pills with consumption restrictions can be used again.

With the aid of the medicine, Fire Spirit's strength increased, which in turn boosted his overall combat power.

At the same time, the Fire Spirit will also feed back a portion of the medicinal power it absorbs, allowing him to enjoy the pure medicinal power and accelerate his cultivation speed.

This effect might not be obvious if it were just one fire spirit, but he has more than ten fire spirits in his body, so it is naturally extraordinary.
