After leaving the Nalan Clan, Mo Yu escorted Ya Fei back to the Mite-er family. Once that was done, he and Xiao Yan returned directly to the inn where Xiao Yan was staying.
Inside the room, now that it was just the two of them, Xiao Yan no longer hid his identity. He tore off the ice silkworm mask Ya Fei had given him, revealing his true youthful face.
Looking at that determined and maturing face, which was gradually shedding its boyishness, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Over the past few years, his cousin had clearly not wasted his time.
With a flash of his silver eyes, Mo Yu could immediately see Xiao Yan's exact cultivation level—he was now a Seven-Star Dou Shi.
Although his achievements weren't quite on par with Mo Yu's own, this level of strength was still outstanding among their peers on the Dou Qi Continent.
While Xiao Yan had the help of Yao Lao, the boy's natural talent and sheer perseverance played no small part in his progress.
"Xiao Yan, my cousin, you've grown and changed a lot these past few years. If our uncle, the clan leader, and Xun Er knew of your current accomplishments, they would surely be proud of you," Mo Yu said with a smile, his lips curling slightly as he observed the deep, unfathomable eyes of the young man before him.
Although Xiao Yan was only a Seven-Star Dou Shi, Mo Yu knew that during the upcoming Alchemist Grand Meeting, his cousin would surprise everyone by winning the championship and refining a top-tier fourth-grade pill, the Three-striped Green Spirit Pill.
After consuming the pill, Xiao Yan would quickly break through to Da Dou Shi and, within three years, defeat Nalan Yanran, who would also reach the Da Dou Shi level.
Mo Yu himself was currently a Six-Star Da Dou Shi, but Xiao Yan was not far behind.
"Heh, cousin Mo Yu, you flatter me. Compared to you, I'm still far behind," Xiao Yan responded with a bitter smile, maintaining the same demeanor he had years ago when he was still an ordinary youth in front of his cousin.
He couldn't help but feel a tinge of awe when he recalled how Mo Yu had decisively defeated Mu Zhan, who was at the peak of the Dou Shi level, at the gathering earlier. Such power was definitely beyond the Dou Shi realm and had reached Da Dou Shi—likely not just at the entry-level but around three or four stars.
Realizing that his cousin's strength was now comparable to that of his own father, Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel at Mo Yu's terrifying talent.
In Xiao Yan's mind, though he considered himself quite abnormal, his cousin Mo Yu and his childhood friend Xun Er were the true prodigies.
But when compared, Xiao Yan thought that Mo Yu was even more extraordinary.
After all, Xun Er's background was mysterious, and her immense strength was not unexpected given her origins.
However, Mo Yu had risen from humble beginnings, spending years in silence before making a stunning impact when he finally emerged.
"Mo Yu, your cousin carries a strong aura of my tribe. You must help me investigate. If he truly is a genius from my race, I, the She Lao, must meet him," the She Lao's urgent voice once again echoed in Mo Yu's mind.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression froze for a moment before he realized who the She Lao was referring to—it had to be Cai Lin.
The status of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python in the Snake-People Tribe was incredibly high, even slightly above the Seven-Winged Purple Gold Serpent.
One of the reasons Mo Yu had asked to meet Xiao Yan privately was because the She Lao had been constantly urging him in secret during the gathering.
Although Mo Yu had no particular feelings for Cai Lin, he decided to fulfill the She Lao's wish. He turned to the black-robed youth before him and asked, "Cousin Xiao Yan, did you obtain your Heavenly Flame in the Tagore Desert?"
Xiao Yan was momentarily taken aback by the question before nodding. "Yes, the Heavenly Flame I possess is the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame list, and I obtained it in the Tagore Desert."
This wasn't exactly a private secret, and since Mo Yu wasn't an outsider, Xiao Yan didn't feel the need to hide it.
Mo Yu nodded in understanding and casually asked, "That makes sense. The Tagore Desert is the territory of the Snake-People Tribe. Since I first met you, I've sensed a lingering snake aura around you.
Heh, I'm rather curious—who is this Snake-People who has been with you all this time?"
Xiao Yan's normally calm eyes flickered with surprise. He hadn't expected Mo Yu to detect the presence of the Snake-People aura.
Indeed, Xiao Yan did have a Snake-People with him, and it was none other than the queen of the Snake-People Tribe—Queen Medusa. At this moment, she was hidden within his sleeve.
Back when Xiao Yan had seized the Green Lotus Core Flame, the newly evolved Queen Medusa had lost part of her memory, and, like a child, had become extremely affectionate toward him. As a result, Xiao Yan had kept her by his side all this time.
Unfortunately, as Queen Medusa's memories gradually returned, and with Yao Lao now in a deep slumber, Xiao Yan began to feel that he could no longer control this powerful Snake-People queen. To him, she was like a ticking time bomb, more of a liability than an asset.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Yan, feeling no need for caution with Mo Yu, slowly raised his right arm. As he moved, a small, seven-colored snake slithered out from his sleeve.
In the next moment, the creature appeared before the two of them—it was a tiny snake, only about two centimeters long. Its entire body was covered with small, seven-colored scales, and its pale purple eyes glowed with a faint, otherworldly charm. A strange yet refreshing fragrance lingered around it. Despite its current serpentine form, it exuded an air of elegance and nobility.
Though the little snake didn't appear particularly fierce, its beauty was almost excessive. Many women would likely forget their usual fear and disgust for snakes when faced with such a lovely creature.
The seven-colored snake didn't have many visible offensive features, but Mo Yu could vaguely sense the terrifying power contained within its small body—enough to give even a Dou Huang expert pause.
Suspended before Mo Yu, the snake's pale purple eyes bore no trace of killing intent. Instead, they appeared pure and innocent.
Even though Mo Yu knew full well that this little snake was likely the same Queen Medusa whose fearsome reputation had spread across several empires surrounding the desert, he still found it hard to raise any feelings of resistance toward her.
The seven-colored snake gently swayed its slender tail, its large purple eyes staring intently at Mo Yu. It cautiously moved a bit closer, curling up slightly, its gaze still wary as it observed him.
But in the next moment, as if it had detected a familiar aura from Mo Yu, the seven-colored snake flicked its tongue at him, making a friendly hissing sound.
Mo Yu's silver eyes remained fixed on the seemingly harmless little snake in front of him, though he didn't dare to move. After all, who knew whether this tiny snake, possessing power comparable to that of a Dou Huang expert, might suddenly lash out.
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Mo Yu murmured in his heart, "She Lao... is this the clan member you were sensing?"
His words lingered unanswered for a long time. Just as Mo Yu began to wonder if something had happened to the She Lao, a shocked, raspy voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!"
