Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 44, News of the Crane Bamboo

The Mittel family.

The elders sat together in a solemn atmosphere.

"Patriarch, does that mean Yafei and Lele are now in the hands of the Snake-People?" Elder Leo asked anxiously.

Reiler is his grandson.

When Leile heard that Yafei was going to do business with the people from Fengxing Auction House, he volunteered to go with her.

Leo originally wanted to create an opportunity for Lele to win over Yafei.

Unexpectedly, they have both fallen into the hands of the snake people.

"The letter from the snake people only said that Ya Fei was in their hands, but did not mention anyone else."

"We immediately dispatched people to verify the situation and check on the others."

"The problem now is that the Snake People have made it clear that if we want to redeem Ya Fei, we have to exchange a large quantity of medicinal herbs," Mittel Tengshan said.

"How many medicinal herbs exactly?"

Mitteltenshan handed the list of medicinal herbs to several elders for a look.

"So many?!"

They all thought the demands were too high.

"All these medicinal herbs combined are almost equivalent to half a month's worth of medicinal herb sales at our auction!"

"They've gone too far!"

They immediately asked for half a month's worth of medicinal herbs from their auction.

That's going too far!

"But now that Ya Fei is with them, they either need the medicine or they don't need her. It's a choice between two options."

"Or do you think you can snatch them back from the snake people?" Mittel Tengshan looked at them.

None of them spoke.

If they don't pay, are they going to kidnap me?

How could a small family like the Mittel possibly snatch someone back from the Snake People?

"Or, could we ask the Yunlan Sect and the Jiama Royal Family for help?" someone suggested.

"Do you think they would deliberately provoke a conflict with the Serpent People because of us?" Mitteltenshan asked.

His words stunned everyone else.

The Yunlan Sect and the Jiama Royal Family would certainly not provoke a war with the Snake People for the sake of their Mittel family.

Therefore, the only way to save Ya Fei is for them to find a solution themselves.

"Eibara is here!" someone outside suddenly shouted.

Everyone immediately looked out.

An elderly man in a blue robe strolled in leisurely from outside.

It was Hai Bodong!

"Tengshan, what's the matter that you called me over in such a hurry?" Hai Bodong took the seat that Mittel Tengshan had prepared in advance.

"Old Hai, you've come."

Mitteltenshan repeated the story, then handed the letter to Haibodong to read.

"The Snake-People? How did Ya Fei get captured by the Snake-People?"

Hai Bodong immediately frowned.

Of all people to have captured, it had to fall into the hands of the snake people.

This is a huge problem.

"Old Hai, what do you think we should do now? Should we pay a ransom to return Ya Fei?" Mittel Tengshan asked.

Yafei is now the chief auctioneer at the headquarters of Mittel Auction.

In terms of cultivation, she had nothing outstanding.

However, in terms of business acumen, intelligence, and auction skills, no one in the entire Gama Empire can currently rival her.

Most importantly, after Hai Bodong officially returned to the Mittel family, he took a liking to Ya Fei and tutored her on many occasions.

This greatly elevated Ya Fei's status.

Therefore, the Mittel family cannot give up Yafei.

It's because of her value, and also because of Hai Bodong.

"Ya Fei is a rare talent; her value far exceeds that of these medicinal herbs. Let's make the exchange," Hai Bodong decided directly.

No one else dared to voice their opinions.

Although Hai Bodong does not currently hold any position.

But his words represented the entire Mittel family!

"Old Hai, could you personally lead the team to redeem Ya Fei?"

"After all, we're going to the Snake People's territory. If our cultivation is too weak, we might not be able to come back," Mittel Tengshan said.

Currently, apart from Haibodong, no one in the Mittel family is capable of shouldering the responsibility of traveling to the Snake People's territory.

Hai Bodong hesitated for a moment.

The snake people, Queen Medusa—that was a shadow that lingered in his heart.

He was sealed away because he fought with Queen Medusa.

but,

"Alright, then prepare the medicinal herbs, and I will go there myself," Hai Bodong agreed.

He certainly couldn't show weakness in front of outsiders.

Saving face is still important.

Moreover, he has now recovered his cultivation!

He has returned to his former true Ice Emperor form!

The latest novel is first published here!

After leaving Stone Desert City, Haibodong returned to Gama Holy City.

He successfully gathered the medicinal herbs, found Guhe to help him refine the Breaking Calamity Pill, broke the seal, and restored his strength.

Now that Yafei has fallen into the hands of the Snake People, as the guardian of the Mittel family, it is still necessary for him to go there in person.

I just hope I won't be sealed away by that Medusa woman again...

……

Over the past few days, Ning has searched all the cities surrounding the Tagor Desert.

They scouted through all the herbal medicine shops and auction houses in major cities.

But no clues were found about the Crane Bamboo.

"Is this thing really that hard to find?"

After asking at the last herbal medicine shop, Ning was speechless.

The shop owner standing nearby said, "Young man, high-grade medicinal herbs like Crane Bamboo are impossible to find in a small city like ours."

"Moreover, the Crane Bamboo is a deadly poisonous herb. Even if an ordinary person saw it, they wouldn't pick it. It's probably not found in the entire Gama Empire."

"If you really want it, you might be able to look in the Izumo Empire. Poison masters are prevalent there, and there are countless kinds of poisonous herbs. You should be able to find Crane Bamboo there."

The Izumo Empire?

In fact, Ning Su had already considered the Izumo Empire as a possible direction.

He simply doesn't plan to go to the Izumo Empire for the time being because it's quite far away.

But now it seems that apart from the Izumo Empire, there is nowhere else to find Crane Bamboo.

"Okay, thank you, boss."

After thanking him, Ning left the city and returned to the Tagor Desert.

……

Ya Fei remained obediently in the courtyard.

It's not because she's very well-behaved or obedient.

It's because there are many snake people outside.

Actually, she had secretly gone out with Qinglin and strolled around the palace.

She encountered many snake people along the way, and they all looked at her strangely.

Many of the male snake people even looked at her with lust, as if they wanted to tear her to pieces.

Fortunately, with Qinglin around, no one dared to actually lay a hand on her.

But Yafei knew she had to find a way to leave this place.

Otherwise, who knows what fate awaits her?

"Sister Qinglin, I'd like to take a walk around the royal city. Can you take me out?" Yafei asked.

"But the young master said you can't go out," Qinglin said, somewhat troubled.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just bored staying there and want to go out and get some fresh air."

"Good sister, will you come for a walk with me?"

After spending these past few days together, Ya Fei had figured out Qing Lin's personality and knew that she was soft-hearted.

As expected, unable to resist her persistent pleading, Qinglin finally agreed.

"Okay, let's go for a walk then."

The two girls were about to leave when they saw the boy walking back towards them...
