After the seven-colored little snake crawled into his sleeve, Xiao Yan finally calmed his mind and began to consider what he needed to do next.
The Yan Alliance had been initially established, and the situation in the Northwestern Continent would now develop steadily and calmly.
Of course, the alliance still lacked a truly powerful leader.
Although the Lord of the Heavenly Snake Mansion and Yun Po Tian both had methods for managing large powers, if these people were appointed as the second-in-command of the Yan Alliance, what would be the purpose of Xiao Yan establishing it?The main goal of creating the Yan Alliance was to take care of his Northwestern harem.
With this in mind, Xiao Yan focused once again on the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python inside his sleeve.
Yun Yun had strength but wasn't good at management; Ya Fei excelled at management but lacked the reputation and power to take charge.
Yao Ye had the aura of an empress, but her strength wasn't sufficient either.
After all, the future leadership of the Yan Alliance would start with Dou Zun-level experts.
Xiao Yixian, after mastering the Calamity Poison Body, had the strength, but her gentle nature meant she would probably just end up farming in Yao Tian.
Only the Medusa Queen in his sleeve, once merged with the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python's bloodline, would have the strength and authority to serve as the Yan Alliance's second-in-command.
Of course, whether Medusa was willing to serve as the second-in-command didn't really matter to Xiao Yan. What he truly cared about was that this queen had the means to control the Six Palaces.
Only when this queen rose to power would his Northwestern Continent harem be truly established.
The position of the main empress wasn't for everyone—strength, skill, and beauty all had to be top-notch, possessing supreme charisma.
Once Medusa ascended, Xiao Yan could go to Canaan Academy to search for new Strange Flames with peace of mind.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan's figure moved, appearing in Xiao Yixian's courtyard.
Her courtyard remained simple and elegant. Xiao Yan's soul power swept over it, discovering she wasn't inside the room but was working in a small spirit field in the courtyard.
"This girl, why does she like farming so much?" Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.
He intended to give her a surprise, but unexpectedly noticed a tiny figure moving inside her room.
"Who's there?" Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly realized who it was.
He gently pushed open the medicine room door and saw a tiny child, no taller than his waist, crouched by a medicine cauldron like a sneaky little mouse.
Xiao Yan quietly stood behind her, a shadow covering Hunxin's figure.
However, the little one didn't notice at all, holding a tiny jade bottle and eating freely.
"What are you sneaking a taste of?" Xiao Yan's voice reached Hunxin's ears.
"No… I'm not eating anything!"
Chomp, chomp.
"If you're not eating, why are you hiding here so sneakily?"
Xiao Yan lightly patted her little head.
Only then did Hunxin slowly turn around, revealing a shocking sight.
Her round, chubby little face was covered in strange seven-colored patterns—even her lips were like that.
"Master, it's you!" Hunxin smiled, then dipped her finger into the white powder in the jade bottle and offered it to Xiao Yan. "Try it! This is sugar powder that Sister Xiao Yixian hid—it's delicious!"
"Delicious?" Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly.
"Yes! Yes! I often see Sister Xiao Yixian sneak some, but whenever I ask for some, she refuses and says it's poisonous!"
"Do you think I wouldn't know if it were poisonous?"
Hunxin puffed out her little cheeks indignantly.
This Sister Xiao Yixian was the stingiest of all the senior female disciples she knew. She hid all these colorful sugar powders and wouldn't share.
As for the "poisonous" excuse—of course she'd claim it was poisonous when someone wanted to take her treats; otherwise, she'd have to share the good stuff.
"Is it possible that it really is poisonous?" Xiao Yan helplessly rubbed his forehead.
"Impossible! I've already overused that excuse!"
Hunxin giggled and suddenly wobbled.
"Ah! I ate too much sugar powder, I feel dizzy." She rolled her eyes and collapsed onto the ground with a thump.
Seeing his disciple foaming at the mouth, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, then grabbed her little arm and infused Dou Qi mixed with Strange Flame into her body.
"Damn, this poison is quite strong." Feeling the toxin inside Hunxin, Xiao Yan's face changed. This bottle of poison was probably Xiao Yixian's emergency ration; just a little could kill a Great Dou Master.
What Hunxin had eaten could probably kill a Dou Ling.
"I shouldn't have bragged with her just now. If she dies from this, revival won't be easy."
Xiao Yan quickly increased the infusion of Strange Flame, trying to expel the toxins from her body as fast as possible.
This little girl wasn't even a true fighter. If she died, her soul would vanish completely. Even if Xiao Yan could preserve her soul, revival would be nearly impossible.
Her soul body was too fragile—resurrection via corporeal methods was unfeasible.
However, as Xiao Yan's Strange Flame spread through Hunxin's body, a terrifying suction force emerged from within her.
The force was so horrifying that even Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. In an instant, all the toxins and Strange Flame inside Hunxin were completely devoured.
The remaining devouring force even started moving along her skin, attempting to consume Xiao Yan's Dou Qi. Feeling this terrifying power, Xiao Yan hesitated briefly but did not withdraw his hand. He adjusted his Dou Qi to a defensive state.
The terrifying suction force soon tried to pull at Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, but thanks to his profound cultivation, the force couldn't consume it and ultimately retreated.
"This suction… anyone below Dou Wang would be drained instantly. Even a Dou Wang, if they don't sever the connection quickly, wouldn't last long."
Xiao Yan looked at Hunxin in surprise. This little girl's peculiarity was something even he couldn't fully understand.
At least, neither Xiao Yan nor the two hidden Saint Warriors following secretly had sensed such a terrifying power within Hunxin.
Even Xiao Wu, with her vast knowledge, couldn't explain the origin of this force.
"But it seems this power protects its master," said Xiao Wen.
"Hmm. When we return to the Xiao clan, let's bring her to show the clan leader." Xiao Yan nodded, suddenly feeling he hadn't wasted his effort recruiting this disciple.
From the moment Hunxin spoke the phrase "thirty years on the east of the river, thirty years on the west," Xiao Yan knew she was extraordinary.
"Could it be… this girl is the reincarnation of a certain powerful figure?"
Various plots from past-life novels flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, intertwining in speculation.
But for now, he had no concrete clues.
A sudden exclamation rang in Xiao Yan's ear.
Xiao Yixian was still dressed in a plain white long dress, her fair calves exposed, smooth as jade, making Xiao Yan want to admire them.
Her delicate jade feet stepped in small straw sandals, still speckled with mud.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yixian looked anxiously at the little jade bottle beside Hunxin.
