Liu Yu naturally knew these four elders, and they had a good relationship. After all, his contributions to the Snake People were real!
Not to mention that he was raised by the Snake People. To be frank, he was considered a member of the Snake People!
"Great Elder, with Her Majesty the Queen's strength, surviving this strange fire body forging is a piece of cake! Now that her strength has broken through, she is just recuperating!"
Liu Yu gently raised his hand, and the colorful little snake was exposed to everyone's sight.
"Could it be..."
The four elders looked at the colorful little snake with a familiar aura in Liu Yu's hand, and couldn't help but recall the records in the ancient books of the tribe: its body is colorful, its pupils are slightly purple, its body is fragrant, and its power is unparalleled...
the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python!
The colorful little snake felt that more than a dozen eyes were focused on it, and it couldn't help but feel a little scared. In a flash of colorful light and shadow, it disappeared in Liu Yu's hand.
"The queen is still asleep, and it's another soul that controls this body." Liu Yu's mouth twitched. The little snake was slithering around on him...
The four elders understood; they were well aware of the dual soul issue.
Seeing Liu Yu's pale face and weak breath, the chief elder told him to rest. Seeing the colorful snake in such a state, Liu Yu had no choice but to care for it.
Liu Yu didn't refuse, giving Hua She'er a reassuring look. Ignoring Yue Mei's resentful gaze, he left the island in the middle of the lake first, leaving the four elders and the chiefs to handle the rest.
...
At night, a full moon hung high in the sky, its bright moonlight bathing the earth.
In the temple, in Queen Medusa's chambers, Liu Yu, now recovered, tirelessly teased the colorful snake,
wondering when his queen would awaken.
...
As the sun rose, the temperature in the Tagor Desert began to soar.
Liu Yu, forced to turn on his phone, slowly opened his red eyes. The sight before him sent his blood racing! He was instantly awake!
Queen Medusa's perfect body lay before him, especially his hand...
"Awake!"
Queen Medusa looked at Liu Yu with a half-smile, one hand gently resting on her side.
"Do you like it?"
Liu Yu nodded honestly.
"Do you want it?"
The alluring voice captivated Liu Yu, and he nodded subconsciously.
Looking at Liu Yu, who was staring at her intently, Queen Medusa smiled charmingly, leaning forward slightly, and gently touched Liu Yu's lips.
"Wait until you grow up!"
The ethereal and charming voice calmed Liu Yu down considerably, and he looked at Queen Medusa with a resentful look.
At the same time, Liu Yu silently pulled the quilt from the side and gently covered Queen Medusa's body, hiding her alluring body! As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind!
But Queen Medusa didn't let him go. A delicate hand reached out from under the quilt, yanking Liu Yu into it and holding her in his arms.
Liu Yu had expected his queen to do something unkind to him, and he'd prepared a token resistance, but she simply held him close.
Liu Yu sighed inwardly, wrapping his arms around Queen Medusa's slender waist, savoring this moment of peace.
...
Gama Empire, Wutan City.
A tall, handsome young man in an exquisite lavender robe walked the streets, seemingly oblivious to him. Sometimes, as someone approached him, the purple-clad young man would turn slightly to avoid a collision.
This young man was Liu Yu. That day, after Queen Medusa regained consciousness, she took him to the Elders' Hall, where she discussed matters with the four elders and then transformed back into a colorful snake.
And so, Liu Yu began his journey of training—yes, training!
Queen Medusa demanded that he reach Dou Huang before returning to the Serpent People, and that his Alchemist rank reach at least the sixth rank. If he met these requirements, she would reward him accordingly!
How could Liu Yu be tempted by such petty gains? He simply wanted to become stronger!
Honestly, this first time out of the Tagor Desert, he was a little excited.
After all, he'd mostly stayed in the temple for the past ten years, and the occasional trips out were only taken to the oasis by that "slut" Yue Mei... He
'd come to Wutan City to meet the protagonist of the Dou Qi Continent—Xiao Yan!
He didn't harbor any hatred for Xiao Yan, and if they could be friends, he'd be happy to have one!
At least in his opinion, Xiao Yan was generally a good person, clear about gratitude and grudges, always repaying favors, and always treating his friends with sincerity.
While some of his childhood behavior was quite outrageous, no one is perfect!
Compared to someone like that, it was like heaven and earth. Oh, no, there was no comparison at all!
He truly agreed with the online saying from his previous life: "I'd rather be Xiao Yan's younger brother than Tang San's brother!"
Oh, forget it. How could a little villain like Tang San mess with my Dao heart?
Hey, Xiao Yanzi, I've come to see you!
...
Is this the Xiao family? Liu Yu muttered, looking at the mansion before him. Based on the information he'd heard on the way, he'd also accurately located Xiao Yan's location.
This time, he'd actually come to confirm the timeline, even though the timeline of Doupo was quite vague.
With a soft chuckle, Liu Yu activated his Thousand Illusionary Body with all his might, his body practically merging with the space as he quietly infiltrated the Xiao residence.
This Thousand Illusionary Body was the reason he came to the Xiao residence to see Xiao Yan. When his Thousand Illusionary Body reached minor success, he had used it to evade detection by four elders from the Elder Hall. Remember, those were four peak-level Dou Huang masters! Otherwise, with his current strength, he would never have gone to the Xiao residence.
He knew the Xiao family had a "lovesick" and a Dou Huang master hiding in the shadows. It would be a terrible injustice if they were then treated as those plotting against Xiao Yan!
Of course, his greatest source of confidence came from his queen! If anything unexpected happened and they were discovered, he would just unleash the dogs... Pah! He was asking for help from the queen! (Queen Medusa:?!)
Soon, Liu Yu, using his senses, arrived at the Xiao residence's square. It was bustling with activity, and he happened to hear a voice that struck him as strange.
"Xiao Yan, Douli, third stage! Level: Low!"
The square was buzzing with discussion, and Liu Yu learned from this that Xiao Yan was now fifteen years old, marking the beginning of his journey to the pinnacle!
Looking at the young men and women in the square sneering at Xiao Yan, Liu Yu inexplicably recalled a fitting phrase: "You look down on me today, but one day I'll make you unreachable!"
Who could have imagined that this supposed "waste" would eventually become the mighty "Flame Emperor" of the Douqi Continent?
Speaking of the Flame Emperor, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the "Burning Art," a technique capable of consuming strange fires and continuously evolving! Theoretically, this technique could evolve infinitely, provided it were supplied with various mystical flames.
However, Liu Yu felt that his "Myriad Aspects Divine Art" was even more powerful, capable of integrating countless techniques within itself, meaning he could cultivate the "Burning Art" as well!
Furthermore, when he first cultivated the "Divine Flame Art," the "Myriad Aspects Divine Art" automatically activated, magically establishing a special master-slave connection between the two techniques.
Afterward, the Divine Flame Art also began to operate automatically, which was like practicing constantly. It was simply too good to be true!
"Next, Xiao Xun'er!"
The tester's voice brought Liu Yu back from his wandering thoughts. In Liu Yu's sight, a young girl in a purple dress stood elegantly to the side. Her pretty face, though childish, held a cool and calm aura, like a newly blossoming lotus.
Tsk tsk, what a clash of colors... Liu Yu's focus was rather surprising. While Gu Xun'er was fragrant, his Queen was... yyds!
Seeing his goal achieved, Liu Yu moved and departed.
He had little interest in what would happen next; he believed he and Xiao Yan would meet sooner or later.
...
The Mitel Auction House.
Liu Yu entered unimpeded. He had come here to collect some medicinal herbs. After all, the Mitel Chamber of Commerce was the largest in the Jiama Empire, and Wutan City happened to have a direct descendant of the Mitel family.
Glancing across the magnificent hall, Liu Yu entered the room marked "Treasure Appraisal Room."
Pushing the door open, he entered the slightly empty room. A middle-aged man, upon hearing the noise, looked up. Seeing Liu Yu, elegantly dressed and possessing an extraordinary demeanor, a thought struck him. He hurried over, a smile on his face. "Sir, are you planning on appraising treasures?"
"Pretty much," Liu Yu said gently.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a number of jade bottles appeared on a nearby table.
"These are elixirs of the second to fifth grades."
The middle-aged man's face froze in disbelief.
"Call your supervisor," Liu Yu warned, noticing the man's vacant expression.
"Okay... okay, sir!"
The middle-aged man, recovering his composure, suddenly changed expression and hurriedly left the room.
Liu Yu sat down in a chair, and suddenly, a small, multicolored snake emerged from his sleeve. It was Xiao Qi, the name Liu Yu had chosen for its colorful appearance.
Xiao Qi looked at Liu Yu expectantly, his eyes pitiful, as if to say, "I'm hungry!"
Seeing this, Liu Yu pulled a vial of liquid medicine from his storage ring. This was a potion he had specially prepared for Xiao Qi, infused with fire energy. Its value was comparable to that of a fourth-grade elixir.
After Liu Yu prepared, he decided to stop by the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. After all, there were foods that Xiao Qi liked there, and they would be of some use to him.
Not long after, the middle-aged man returned, this time accompanied by two people.
One was an elderly man in green, with graying hair. On his chest was a symbol of a medicine furnace, with two silver ripples.
The other was a beautiful woman in a red robe, with exceptionally voluptuous and exquisite curves. In terms of allure and charm, apart from his queen, perhaps only Yue Mei could rival her.
However, compared to Yue Mei, the woman before him had a touch of youthfulness, which was quite unique.
"Sir, this is Miss Yafei, the head of our auction house, and this is Master Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist!" the middle-aged man introduced respectfully.
Liu Yu glanced at the old man and Yafei equally, then continued to feed Xiao Qi.
Meanwhile, Yafei was also sizing up the young man before her.
He was dressed in an elegant lavender robe, his long silver hair casually tied to one side. He had a fair and handsome face, a faint smile on his lips, and his ruby-red eyes seemed to be filled with a thousand stars.
For a moment, Yafei was mesmerized. She had never seen such a perfect person before. But soon, Yafei regained her senses and felt annoyed. How could she be so?
Gu Ni, on the other hand, was shocked by the rich medicinal liquid that Liu Yu was licking in his hand. If he was right, this liquid must have reached the level of a fourth-grade elixir!
Gu Ni was so envious. This was a medicinal liquid comparable to a fourth-grade elixir. He had only ever had the privilege of glimpsing it from afar!
What good was this little snake of unknown species before him… What a waste of natural resources!
