"You, as the leader of a branch lineage, ought to understand the hierarchy of our snake-people tribe. Since you were designated by the Ancestor as part of the dowry, you should have the awareness of being dowry.
The Queen hasn't even served in the bedchamber yet, and you already want to overstep her?"
The old crone shot an annoyed glance at Yue Mei.
"Yes, Elder, I understand my mistake."
Faced with the reprimand from this Supreme Elder, Yue Mei finally admitted her fault.
Hearing this, the snake-people elder nodded in satisfaction, though a strange glimmer briefly flashed in her eyes.
"You little fox-spirit… if this old body were two hundred years younger, would such a good thing even reach your turn?"
Thinking this, she couldn't help sighing softly. Time showed no mercy. Now old and faded, she no longer had the qualifications to seduce Xiao Yan.
Far away, Xiao Yan had no idea of the emotional drama those three women were tangled in. His thoughts were focused entirely on the Qinglian Dixin Huo he expected to obtain in the future.
An uneventful night passed. When the first ray of dawn once again turned the pitch-black desert into a golden sea of dry light, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes.
His next goal was to find the number-one venture capitalist of the Dou Qi Continent.
Of course, in this timeline he himself was far more impressive, so that investor might not even get the chance to make an investment anymore — but for Ya Fei's sake and the original storyline, Xiao Yan still decided to give the fellow a hand.
"You three, after refining this essence blood, return to the snake-people tribe. Once I finish my matters, I'll come find you."
"Yes, Lord Xiao Yan."The three snake-women nodded obediently.
"Senior, I'll be leaving." Xiao Yan cupped his hands toward the First Generation.
"Go, go."The First Generation waved with a smile. "This old body has entrusted the snake-people tribe to you."
"Please rest assured, Senior."
Xiao Yan nodded lightly. Then he stored the gigantic head of the Zi Tian Mo Mang into his spatial ring. Although enormous, the ring was crafted personally by Xiao Lin — its internal space could hold a small mountain.
After putting it away, Xiao Yan lifted off the ground, but upon flying out of the ancient city, he noticed a yellow giant python still lying obediently there. Only then did he remember the nearly forgotten Chensha Gushe.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Xiao Yan asked with a grin.
"Without Young Master's command, how would I dare leave?"Chensha Gushe transformed into a burly man, smiling foolishly at Xiao Yan, though his eyes revealed fawning submission.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Yan instantly understood what the guy wanted.
"Would you be willing to become this young master's subordinate?"
Xiao Yan asked cheerfully.
"Willing, willing!"Chensha Gushe nodded like an eager dog.
"What a joke — a Dou Zong who can shake out twelve Dou Sheng protectors… that level of backing! If he missed this thigh, he might never get the chance to lick another one in his lifetime."
Seeing the big snake-man's posture, Xiao Yan nodded faintly. With a flick of his finger, half of the Zi Tian Mo Mang essence blood he reserved earlier floated before Chensha Gushe.
This amount was too much for Yue Mei and the others whose cultivation was low, but for Chensha Gushe, already an eighth-rank magical beast, absorbing it posed no danger.
Seeing the essence blood hovering before him, Chensha Gushe's face lit with joy.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Absorbing this wouldn't allow him to break through, but the benefits were considerable.
"Your task now is to guard those three snake-women, escort them back to the snake-people sacred city, and afterward serve as the tribe's guardian beast. Understood?"
Xiao Yan assigned his mission.
"Ah?"Chensha Gushe looked shocked and confused.
"Young Master… don't you need a mount?"
"What nonsense are you thinking? You want to be this young master's mount?"Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.
"You're not even female, yet you want to be my mount."
Hearing this, Chensha Gushe showed a pitiful expression — the sight of a big burly man looking wronged made Xiao Yan shudder.
"Don't look at me with that disgusting face. Do your job well and the benefits will be huge."
With that, Xiao Yan ignored his aggrieved look and soared forward, stepping directly on space.
Now that he'd reached the Dou Zong stage, he no longer needed to manifest Dou Qi Wings.
From now on, people would see him walking through the air and exclaim, "A Dou Zong expert — tremendous!"
Instead of seeing his Dou Huang self and yelling, "A Dou Wang expert — terrifying!"
No helping it — young talents always got underestimated.
The Tagor Desert stretched endlessly, its size nearly matching that of the Jia Ma Empire. And despite its boundless sands, life had firmly taken root here.
One human-snake city after another dotted the golden horizon like stars in a sandy sky.
Mocheng — a major city located at the border between humans and snake-people. Though built in the desert, its prosperity surpassed even Wutan City.
In an old-fashioned street in Mocheng, there was a map shop named "Gu Tu."
Its business was not particularly lively, but those who visited were always important figures of the city — they all knew the shop owner was likely a hidden expert.
But today, an unexpected guest had arrived.
The moment the black-clothed youth stepped inside, the old shopkeeper who had been peacefully drawing maps suddenly paused. When his eyes landed on the youth, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
But seeing that the boy didn't seem hostile, he pretended to continue drawing maps, though his aged hand — still steady — had grown faintly stiff.
Ignoring the old man's forced calmness, Xiao Yan casually browsed the ancient map shelves.
Though only a small shop, the maps sold here were extremely expensive — some even priced at over ten thousand gold coins.
But Xiao Yan wasn't interested. His gaze swept to the final, worm-eaten ancient shelf. Though it only held failed map drafts, Xiao Yan felt something. He grabbed a moldy scroll and shook it lightly.
A moment later, a map fragment fell from the damaged scroll.
The moment it appeared, the old shopkeeper's forcibly calm expression finally rippled.
Before he could settle his emotions, the youth had already walked over smiling, holding the fragment.
"Old man, how much for this map?"
