Chapter 201: People Should Have Dreams. What If They Come True? Right?
"Your turn!"
Xiao Bai didn't answer Hua She'er's question. A sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly walked towards the terrified Mobas.
"I remember telling you yesterday that if it happens again, it'll be your head. It seems you didn't listen at all!"
"Don't do anything stupid. This is the Serpent Man's Palace!" Mobas' face paled as he watched the black-robed figure approaching, his face filled with fear.
He wanted to turn and run, but he didn't know what strange device the human had used that made him unable to move.
"Serpent Man's Palace?" Xiao Bai reached out, grabbed Mobas's neck, and lifted him up. He said calmly, "Do you think I'm afraid?"
"Ahem... how long are you going to keep watching?" Mobas felt his breathing grow increasingly difficult. He struggled to turn his head away, his voice broken with anger.
"Human, let Mobas go!" An old voice echoed in the darkness, and then several figures appeared in Xiao Bai's sight.
"Leaders of the eight Serpent People tribes?"
Xiao Bai's cold eyes swept over the seven figures, all radiating the aura of a Dou Wang. He paused at a familiar figure and jokingly said, "Why are we all attacking together?"
"Alas," Yue Mei sighed in distress. She looked at the stern, black-robed figure in front of her and said softly, "Young Master Xiao, please, for the Queen's sake, spare his life!"
"What if I don't let him go?"
Xiao Bai suddenly smiled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. His dark pupils appeared even darker against the night sky.
Aside from Yue Mei, he saw no kindness in the eyes of the Serpent People.
"Form a formation! Save Mobas first!"
The leading old Serpent People shouted, waving his withered arms as Mobas began to struggle weakly in the human's grasp.
Then several figures began to move, forming positions and forming hand seals.
"Why do you want to fight?"
A tender, crisp voice chimed in. Then, a small figure flashed and appeared beside Xiao Bai, its large, excited eyes gleaming with eagerness.
".!" Xiao Bai.
What was this little Zi Yan so excited about?
"Xiao Bai, I'll take down one, and you take down six. We'll just go and kill each other, okay?"
Zi Yan tugged gently at Xiao Bai's robe, then stood on tiptoe, her mouth covered, and whispered.
".!" Xiao Bai.
Is this what you call a "killing like crazy"? I'll do the killing, and you'll do the "squabbling"?
The flower snake next to him twitched its ears, its face pale with fear at the cute little girl's words. It looked at Xiao Bai with fear and pleaded, "Young Master Xiao, please don't! I'll notify the Queen right now. When she comes to handle it, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. What do you think?"
"No need!"
Xiao Bai waved his hand, glancing somewhere out of the corner of his eye. Lightning surged beneath his feet, and his figure left a trail of afterimages before disappearing.
"Puff," "Puff," "Puff!"
Several muffled sounds echoed in the darkness, almost without pause.
"Xiao Bai, leave me one!"
Seeing several afterimages of Xiao Bai appear, they flashed before the snakemen, who then collapsed to the ground. Zi Yan, anxious, leaped to her feet and immediately rushed forward.
"You... you're really a Dou Wang?"
The old snakeman leader, slumped to the ground, a trickle of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, stared at the proud figure holding Mobas. Shock nearly welled up in his eyes, he muttered, "You're both peak Dou Wang, how come you're so strong?"
"Haha. Judging by your age, you're not young, are you? I can't believe you'd ask such a foolish question!" Xiao Bai scoffed, dismissively saying, "A person's strength isn't solely determined by their Dou Qi realm. Their cultivation techniques, combat talents, physical and spiritual body, treasures, and secret techniques... So many things can raise their maximum strength!"
"So, it's not that I, a peak Dou Wang, am too strong, it's that you're too weak!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into self-doubt. Could they really be so weak?
Ignoring the crowd, Xiao Bai threw Mobas to the ground and said calmly, "I know why you're so hostile to me. It's because you admire Queen Medusa, right?"
"Nonsense!" Mobas, breathing in fresh air, blushed and stammered.
"Look, you don't even dare to openly express your love for someone, but only resort to such underhanded tactics. That's the difference between you and me!" Xiao Bai crouched down, gazing at Mobas with disdain.
"Me, me..." Mobas flinched at the glare, feeling a surge of shame and indignation.
"Be careful! This is the second time. One or two, but not the third time. The next time, you'll really die!" Xiao Bai slapped him on the shoulder three times.
Feeling the sharp pain, Mobas' face turned pale as paper, and he gritted his teeth.
This despicable human had slapped his injured shoulder yesterday, and the force of his hand was enough to nearly knock him unconscious.
"That's right, if you're brave enough, come fight me! What's the point of calling for help!"
A crisp voice echoed, and Mobas fainted.
"Huh?" Zi Yan raised her fair little hand in confusion, examining him curiously for a moment before her face fell.
"Xiao Bai, you have to testify for me. I really only tapped him lightly. I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable!"
Xiao Bai's eyes twitched as he watched the stunned Mobas pass out, and he secretly gave him a thumbs-up.
Zi Yan blinked her bright eyes slightly, a hint of a smile flashing across her face, but her face remained frowning.
".!" Hua She'er.
Due to the angle, only she could clearly see the two's subtle movements. The two were truly perfectly coordinated.
Perhaps because of the Queen, Master Xiao couldn't go too far, so the little girl immediately and considerately compensated him.
Looking around, Xiao Bai felt a little discouraged. He looked up at a certain place in the sky and said in a bad tone: "Have you seen enough? If you have seen enough, come out and clean up!"
When everyone was confused, a cold voice came with a hint of smile: "Have you vented your anger?"
"Huh! If I really wanted to vent my anger, I would have killed them all just now!" Xiao Bai rolled his eyes and snorted coldly.
The cold tone of his voice sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
"This king knows you wouldn't do that!"
As the words fell, a figure in a golden and red brocade robe slowly appeared in the air, its narrow, charming, almond-shaped eyes filled with a sly smile.
"Greetings, Her Majesty!" Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone hurriedly staggered to their feet and bowed.
"Yes!" Cai Lin nodded calmly, her gaze sweeping across the room. A solemn expression gathered between her brows, her gaze gradually cooling as she spoke solemnly, "You are becoming increasingly presumptuous. Didn't this king say today that Xiao Bai and the people he brought with him are distinguished guests of my Serpent People?"
The cold, commanding voice caused everyone's faces to drop to one knee. They could tell the queen was truly furious this time.
"Hua She'er!"
"Queen, I'm here!"
"Remember this. Hei Du, you disobeyed this royal order, and you will be punished according to clan rules. Mobas, you will be expelled from the royal city and will not be allowed to enter without a royal decree. As for you..." Her cold eyes swept over the other tribal leaders, and after a slight pause, she looked at Xiao Bai.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not the one who's going to suffer!" Xiao Bai yawned boredly, glanced at a slightly hesitant queen, and said calmly, "Do what you think!"
He knew her thoughts well. These people were the pillars of the Serpent People. She feared that if the punishment was too harsh, the people below would complain, but if it was too lenient, she was afraid he would be dissatisfied.
Hearing Xiao Bai's words and the queen's expression, the powerful Serpent People, with the exception of Yue Mei, looked at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected their queen to go to such lengths to protect a human!
Is this still the goddess they cherished as a sacred object of the Serpent People?
"Then I'll make a note of this. If you continue to cause trouble without reason, don't blame me for punishing you!" Cai Lin said in a dignified voice, tinged with a hint of lightness.
"Thank you, Queen, for your grace!"
Everyone bowed in frustration, jealous of Xiao Bai but also filled with a faint worry for the future of the Serpent People.
If the Queen and this human were to truly unite in the future, judging by how obedient he had just been, it might be...
For a moment, everyone looked at Xiao Bai as if he were a troll-like concubine who had spread cholera in the palace.
"Alright, you can go back! Hua She'er, take Hei Du and Mobas away!" Cai Lin said calmly, scanning the crowd.
"Yes! But Young Master Xiao..." Hua She'er glanced hesitantly at Xiao Bai, who was already leading the way.
"Don't worry about him!" Cai Lin waved her hand.
Hua She'er said nothing more, but replied. After taking the two unconscious men away, the others gradually dispersed.
Cai Lin stood with her hands behind her back, pretending not to notice Xiao Bai's intense gaze. She looked in the direction the group was leaving, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks as she murmured softly, "Do you remember the way back?"
"What?" Xiao Bai rubbed his ears, a wave of intense surprise rising in his heart. He stared at the beautiful figure in the air in disbelief.
"Hmph! Never mind if you didn't hear clearly!" Cai Lin flung her sleeves in shame and anger, ripples rippled through space, and her figure slowly vanished.
"Haha, Cai Lin, wait for me!" Xiao Bai's eyes shone startlingly, like stars in the darkness. With a single step, he was about to vanish.
But a small hand reached out, clutching his robe tightly, a crisp voice echoing.
"Xiao Bai, where are you going? I want to go too!"
"Go, go, go play somewhere else! I don't have time for you right now!" Xiao Bai waved his hand, brushing off the small hand that was clutching his robe, and instantly broke free.
Zi Yan was adorable, but cuteness pales in comparison to sexiness!
Watching the disappearing figure, Zi Yan's lips pursed. She folded her arms and babbled loudly, "Hmph! If you don't take me with you, I'll tell Xun... Uh..."
A streak of light streaked from nowhere and landed in Zi Yan's mouth, silencing her words.
Her tongue twitched, and her eyes suddenly lit up. It tasted good!
After chewing a few times and swallowing the energy-rich pill, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and she began to babble again: "I'll tell Xian... Uh!"
Another streak of light flashed through the darkness. Zi Yan tasted it, and it was another taste. Her eyes narrowed in happiness, and she practiced repeating the previous process, preparing to do it again.
Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Bai's furious voice echoed in her ears.
"Little girl, don't go too far!"
"Hehe." Zi Yan smiled sheepishly, quickly covering her mouth with her hand and nodding, falling silent.
Meanwhile, Xiao Bai's face darkened. He hadn't expected this girl to be so cunning.
He had just paid two fifth-grade medicinal herbs to silence her.
A moment later, Xiao Bai arrived at a familiar door. He immediately discarded all other thoughts, took a deep breath, and gently pushed the door open.
Just as he had left her, the gauzy figure was no longer at the desk, her gaze gradually shifting towards the large bed.
Time passed, a night passed.
The morning sun, faintly intoxicated, filtered through the bedroom windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor and extending all the way to the bed.
"Xiao Bai! Are you annoying me? If you want a hug, hold me well, or get off!" An impatient, delicate voice shattered the silence.
Medusa lay in the crook of an arm, her head slightly raised, cheeks flushed, her beautiful eyes glaring at the man who smiled at her.
This bastard, besides being unable to move the hand she was resting on, the other hand was incredibly busy, annoying her to no end.
"Alright! Queen, I'm not moving!" Xiao Bai chuckled softly, looking at the charming woman in his arms. He gently stroked her long black hair, then bent down to kiss her smooth forehead.
Cai Lin then snorted softly, extending an arm as slender as snow, removing his large hand and resting it on her slender waist. Then, burying her pretty face in Xiao Bai's arms, she whispered a warning, "Behave!"
"Okay!" Xiao Bai tightened his grip, hugging the delicate body tightly. He inhaled the delicate fragrance, feeling a pang of grief.
Last night had been a passionate and voluptuous moment, but at the very last moment, this woman had told him he couldn't do it!
He nearly exploded, nearly blowing the roof off the room!
"Damn altar baptism!" Xiao Bai cursed inwardly at the thought of the snake-people's rituals.
As if sensing Xiao Bai's resentment, Cai Lin's rosy lips curled up slightly. What happened last night made her realize that this guy didn't just have carnal desires for her, but also respected her from the bottom of his heart.
Speaking of last night, Cai Lin seemed to remember something and whispered, "What's your relationship with that little girl last night?"
Xiao Bai's heart suddenly rose. Could it be that Cai Lin heard Zi Yan's threats to him last night?
"She's also a student at Canaan Academy! What's wrong?" Although he was a little panicked, Xiao Bai's voice remained calm.
"She's not human!" Cai Lin confirmed.
"Haha." Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief. So that was the reason. He chuckled and said, "Did you sense it?"
"Hmm! The bloodline within her is quite extraordinary. When the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python approached her, it actually felt a faint sense of oppression!" Cai Lin frowned slightly, disbelieving.
"Seven-Colored is a bit stressful, but once you reach Nine-Colored, you shouldn't feel that way!" Xiao Bai chuckled faintly.
"Nine-Colored? You really think highly of me! This kind of super-bloodline hasn't appeared in the world for years!" Cai Lin shook her head slightly.
"Everything depends on one's own efforts!" Xiao Bai smiled. "People should have dreams. What if they come true? Right?"
"Don't worry, Queen, I'll help you!"
Cai Lin looked up, rolled her eyes at him, and sneered, "That's not a dream, you're dreaming!"
"Don't believe it?" Xiao Bai pinched her rosy cheeks and said with a feigned venom, "What if I could do it?"
"Hehe." Cai Lin gently slapped the hand that was playing tricks on her face away, saying disdainfully, "If you can truly do it, I can fulfill all your requests!"
"Really?" Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Cai Lin looked at his expression and instantly understood what he was thinking. Thinking of the guy's unreasonable request last night, she secretly cursed in her heart: "What a bad boy!"
A hint of moisture appeared in her narrow and long almond-shaped eyes. She put her seductive red lips close to his ear and whispered in a numbing voice: "If you can really do it, why not satisfy you!"
Seeing Xiao Bai's excited expression, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She didn't believe that he could do it at all, so what if she agreed to it!
