Xiao Zhan knew very well that from now on, no one in the Gama Empire would dare to have any other ideas about the Xiao family.

Those forces that had ill intentions or secretly coveted the Xiao family's status and resources because they believed that the Xiao family did not have any top-notch combat power would have to stop now, and even start preparing to apologize to the Xiao family. After all, the consequences of angering a Dou Zun strongman are not something they can afford.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan could no longer conceal the joy that came from his heart. A smile instantly blossomed on his face. He laughed out loud, "Today is such a beautiful day, and with so many distinguished guests here, how can we miss some singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere!"

After saying this, he winked at the attendant beside him. The attendant understood and quickly stepped back. Not long after, a row of graceful dancers came in slowly from the side door on one side of the hall.

These dancers all have pretty faces, and they are dressed in colorful yet elegant dance costumes. As they approach, their sleeves flutter and there seems to be a faint fragrance filling their sleeves.

When they arrived at the center of the hall, they first bowed to everyone, and then began to dance to the sound of melodious music.

As these dancers danced, the atmosphere in the hall became more lively and lively.

The music was melodious and flowing in the hall like a stream, and it was set off by the dancers' graceful steps, interweaving into a moving piece of music. The dancers' swaying postures and flying skirts made it hard to take your eyes away.

For a moment, the laughter, the sound of clinking glasses and the melodious music came together, making the whole hall seem to have become a sea of ​​joy. The atmosphere was full of excitement and joy, and the banquet was pushed to its climax in this cheerful atmosphere.

But in this lively atmosphere, everyone actually has different thoughts. After all, they came here not just for fun.

Most people's attention would always drift to Xiao Ling sitting in the main seat from time to time, with their eyes hiding their own thoughts and calculations.

At this moment, Xiao Ling was lying on the wide chair. His posture seemed lazy, but he also revealed a unique kind of casualness and freedom.

He held a delicate snack in his hand and put a piece into his mouth from time to time. His movements were natural and casual, as if all the noise around him had nothing to do with him.

His deep eyes were now gazing at the dancing girls with great interest, his gaze following their dance steps. Sometimes he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if appreciating the exquisiteness of the beautiful dance, and sometimes he looked absent-minded, as if his thoughts had drifted elsewhere. However, his focused and casual look made people feel that he was now fully immersed in the little pleasures of the banquet.

He looked like a casual gentleman, enjoying himself in this lively scene, and having a relaxing time.

Apart from that, Xiao Ling did not take any other action except occasionally talking quietly with Hai Bodong who was sitting next to him.

When everyone saw this, they looked at each other in confusion. They all felt a little troubled and didn't know how to approach Master Xiao Ling.

After all, they are not like Hai Bodong, who already has a good relationship with Xiao Ling. If they rashly go up to disturb him, it might cause bad luck and make others unhappy, which would be a loss.

Therefore, although everyone had their own thoughts in mind, they could only suppress them and continued to pretend to be at ease drinking and chatting at the banquet. However, their eyes were always glancing towards Xiao Ling intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to find the right time to make plans.

However, just as the banquet was going on so lively, Xiao Ling, who had originally looked relaxed and at ease, suddenly looked stunned and paused.

At this moment, he keenly sensed a familiar breath flying towards the direction of the Xiao family from afar.

Relying on his perception of the breath and the flying behavior, Xiao Ling quickly deduced that the person was flying from the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

And that breath was so familiar to him that he knew instantly that the person coming was naturally Zi Yan.

"Wasn't Zi Yan staying well at Medusa's place? Why did she come back suddenly? And she was alone. Did something happen?"

Xiao Ling frowned slightly. Although he was full of doubts, he really couldn't guess why Zi Yan came this time, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter.

At that moment, he decided to leave first. After all, no matter what, as long as he met Zi Yan, everything would become clear.

Xiao Ling stood up slowly, and this instantly made the atmosphere in the hall tense again. Everyone's eyes fell on him, with curiosity and surprise in their eyes.

"Everyone, I suddenly have something to deal with, so I won't keep you here for long. If there is anything you want to discuss with the Xiao family, you can discuss it directly with our clan leader Xiao Zhan."

After saying that, Xiao Ling didn't bother to explain. He just nodded slightly to Hai Bodong beside him, activated the power of space, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

After Xiao Ling's figure completely disappeared, everyone in the hall came back to their senses, and Xiao Zhan spoke again, organizing the situation. However, the lively and cheerful atmosphere just now had faded a lot. Everyone continued to eat and drink, while whispering to each other what had happened that made Xiao Ling leave in such a hurry.

Although Xiao Zhan greeted everyone and tried his best to maintain the atmosphere of the banquet, everyone's minds were somewhat distracted by this sudden episode.

As one of the best sixth-grade alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire, Gu He was naturally invited by the Xiao family this time.

As Gu He is one of the best sixth-grade alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire, he was naturally invited by the Xiao family this time.

He came to the banquet to admire Xiao Ling, the senior alchemist, but more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to his sweetheart, Yun Yun.

Due to Gu He's deliberateness, the relationship between him and Yun Yun is not very harmonious.

Gu He would ask Yun Yun about her well-being from time to time, but Yun Yun did not respond much. At most, she would occasionally smile back out of politeness.

Xiao Ling's sudden departure really made Yun Yun's heart full of curiosity, so that her mind was wandering at the moment, and she was not paying much attention to the dinner.

Chapter 562 I'm pregnant and the child is yours

I saw a purple light rushing across the sky. It was so fast that ripples appeared in the surrounding void wherever it passed.

The person in that stream of light was Zi Yan, who had left the Snake People Tribe and rushed back to the Holy City of Jiama to look for Xiao Ling.

Zi Yan, who was originally flying, suddenly changed her expression. She keenly sensed that a familiar breath was approaching her.

At that moment, she lightly stepped on the air and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the next moment, Zi Yan appeared on the roof of the towering attic of the Gama Royal Palace.

As the royal palace of the Gama Empire, its architecture is naturally luxurious, and this attic was carefully built by the Gama royal family.

It is located in the holy city of the Gama Empire and is the tallest building in the entire city. Standing on the attic, one can almost have a panoramic view of the entire Gama Empire capital.

There is a strict rule here that no one is allowed to stand on it without permission. If anyone breaks this rule, it would be equivalent to trampling on the dignity of the Gama royal family and tantamount to declaring war on the royal family of the Gama Empire.

Of course, Zi Yan had never heard of this rule before. However, even if she knew about it, with her casual personality, she would not take it to heart, let alone pay attention to it.

Just as Zi Yan appeared on the attic roof, almost at the same time, another figure slowly emerged from the void. It was Xiao Ling who had just left the Xiao family.

As soon as Xiao Ling appeared, he saw Zi Yan's rather strange expression, and was full of doubts, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Zi Yan, what happened? I heard from Xiao Yixian and the others that you were having a great time with the snake people where Medusa was. Why did you rush back in such a hurry? What happened?"

"Hey, I didn't go to the Snake Tribe just to have fun. I came to help Sister Medusa deal with many things in the Snake Tribe. I also took out a lot of snacks to share with Sister Medusa's subordinates. They all respect me very much." Zi Yan curled her lips and retorted subconsciously.

As she spoke, she thought of Medusa's current situation, and her expression suddenly became a little strange. She looked at Xiao Ling with a hint of inexplicable anger in her eyes, and snorted coldly, saying:

"As for what happened, don't you have any idea in your mind? You damned fellow! You really pissed me off."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his forehead, secretly complaining in his heart, Zi Yan's so-called "snacks" were all carefully selected for her by him, they were all high-level medicinal materials, and their value was precious. Even the worst quality ones in Zi Yan's storage bag were enough to be used to refine seventh-grade medicinal materials.

Such a rare treasure would be snatched by countless people if it was placed in Zhongzhou, but she just gave it to someone else. Xiao Ling really didn't know what to say.

However, those herbs were given to Medusa's men after all, so they could barely be considered as his own people. Besides, this loss was not a big deal compared to Xiao Ling's rich family background.

Therefore, Xiao Ling did not take it too seriously.

Then, Xiao Ling saw Zi Yan staring at him angrily, and his heart was immediately filled with doubts. He couldn't help but ask Zi Yan: "What do you mean by this? What's going on? What did I do wrong? Why do you suddenly look like this?"

Normally speaking, Zi Yan's personality has always been straightforward. Even if she accidentally did something inappropriate, she would rarely get angry like she is now.

You know, Zi Yan is notoriously rude and unreasonable in front of others. She acts according to her own will, which often makes people feel helpless and troubled.

But only in front of Xiao Ling, she seemed like a different person, and was always relatively well-behaved. After such a long time together, she almost never lost her temper with Xiao Ling.

At this moment, Zi Yan's abnormal behavior really made Xiao Ling full of doubts. This doubt was like a fog, lingering in his heart and could not be dispelled.

Even if Zi Yan noticed that the relationship between him and Medusa had further developed, her reaction should not have been so intense.

After all, Zi Yan had long known that Xiao Ling already had other women around him. With her previous personality, at most she would feel a little sour and jealous occasionally.

Maybe she would say a few jealous remarks to Xiao Ling from time to time, or complain in a low voice, but no matter what, there shouldn't be such a big reaction as now.

Xiao Ling thought about it and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that it was because Zi Yan and Medusa had too close a relationship, and that there had been a substantial breakthrough in his relationship with Medusa, and Zi Yan felt awkward, so she behaved so extreme?

But this doesn't seem to make sense. After all, with Zi Yan's personality, she has never been like this before. Even if she had a reaction, it wouldn't be now.

Facing Xiao Ling's question, Zi Yan snorted coldly and turned her head to the side. Her twin ponytails swayed gently in the air, and her look showed her anger.

"You will know what mistake you made later. Don't waste time here and follow me!" Zi Yan said angrily, her words full of unquestionable meaning.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Yan stepped lightly on the void, skillfully using the power of space around her, and her figure instantly appeared dozens of feet away like a phantom.

Then, she flew towards the direction of the Monster Mountain Range without hesitation, at an extremely fast speed, not giving Xiao Ling any chance to respond.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was stunned at first, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense. But looking at Zi Yan's anxious and angry look, he knew that it was useless to ask at this moment, so he hurriedly activated his own spatial force, and his figure flashed, and he rushed in the direction of Zi Yan.

Along the way, Xiao Ling was wondering what had caused Zi Yan to react so strongly.

He went over the recent events in his mind, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure it out.

In desperation, Xiao Ling had to ask Zi Yan again: "Zi Yan, please don't be angry with me. Tell me what's going on. I really can't explain clearly what I did to offend you, my little ancestor."

However, Zi Yan was still as angry and indifferent as ever. She just kept on walking forward, not even bothering to pay attention to Xiao Ling.

That puffy little face was full of dissatisfaction with Xiao Ling, which made Xiao Ling even more confused. It was like a kitten scratching his heart, and he wanted to know the reason more and more eagerly.

Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and while chasing Zi Yan closely, he sighed secretly, thinking that this girl was really stubborn today. Although she would occasionally show her temper in the past, she had never been like this. No matter how he asked, she refused to reveal a word.

However, there was really no other way at the moment, so Xiao Ling could only helplessly continue to follow Zi Yan, rushing forward. He thought to himself that once he reached the Snake People Organization, he would finally be able to get a conclusion.

However, the various speculations along the way only aroused Xiao Ling's curiosity even more.

He really couldn't understand what he had done to make Zi Yan, who was always well-behaved in front of him, look so angry and unwilling to talk to others.

With Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's current profound cultivation, their travel speed was naturally extremely fast. In just a moment, they crossed most of the Gama Empire, and soon arrived at the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

As the two people moved at lightning speed, the scenery below was like a painting that slowly unfolded and then quickly flowed backwards, constantly changing.

At first, the bustling and bustling city scene with tall buildings gradually became sparse, and the rows of buildings were slowly left behind. Instead, it was replaced by the mountain jungle full of primitive atmosphere of the Warcraft Mountain Range.

As the two continued to go deeper, sporadic lights gradually appeared in the Demon Beast Mountains. The dots of light flickered among the mountains and forests like fireflies in the dark night.

Then, as the distance got closer, the originally dense vegetation in the Demon Beast Mountains gradually began to become sparse, and the scenery of the Snakeman tribe appeared more and more clearly before their eyes.

I saw a large city appearing in the mountains. The city walls were tall and solid, all built with huge stones mined from the mountains.

On the city wall, there is a watchtower at regular intervals, with snake-men guards holding weapons and watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Members of the snake people can be seen everywhere in the city. They have graceful figures, with winding snake tails in their lower bodies. Their bodies sway as they move, which is unique in their charm.

Xiao Ling looked around and saw that most of the snake people had happy expressions on their faces, and their smiles were sincere and pure.

It is not difficult to tell from their expressions that the quality of life of the Snake People is quite good nowadays. They have no worries about food and clothing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There is a warm and peaceful atmosphere everywhere in their lives.

Xiao Ling looked around at the lively and prosperous scene, and couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement, and sighed sincerely:

"It's only been a few years since we last met, and the snake people have grown to such a size. This change is really unexpected. I originally thought that when Medusa was away, the snake people were leaderless and the affairs of the tribe might be a little difficult. I didn't expect that now it seems that even without her always in charge, the snake people have made a lot of progress."

Zi Yan beside him didn't seem to care much about Xiao Ling's sigh. She curled her lips slightly and said nonchalantly:

"Hmph, this scale is just barely acceptable. Even compared to those buildings in Zhongzhou, it is still a far cry. Not to mention the magnificent buildings like Xingyun Pavilion and Dandun, which are still pretty good."

Zi Yan crossed her arms while speaking, and felt that everything happening to the snake people was nothing new.

In her heart, she even felt that the current development of the snake people was not worthy of Medusa's current status.

"You can't think like that. You have to understand that the snake people were struggling to survive in a harsh place like the Tager Desert, in an environment that was very difficult for people to adapt to."

Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan with a smile and explained patiently, "It's already very good that there has been such a big change now. After all, not everyone has the same insight as us."
