What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility!

In the room, Xiao Yan had just changed clothes and was stretching when the door suddenly burst open.

“Xiao Yan! You’re awake?!”

With the familiar loud voice, Xiao Yan’s vision darkened as Xiao Ding rushed in and tightly hugged him.

“Elder Sister, you scared the hell out of me. I couldn’t wake you up no matter what for two whole days.”

“Wuwuwuwu!”

Struggling to push Xiao Ding’s shoulder away, Xiao Yan pulled his head out, looking somewhat helpless at Xiao Ding.

“Elder Sister, I almost suffocated because of you…”

“What are you saying? Even the flames couldn’t kill you, so what’s this?” Xiao Ding grinned, then hugged Xiao Yan’s shoulders and pulled him out of the room. “Come on, Elder Sister will take you to find Eldest Sister. She was just talking about you.”

With Xiao Yan firmly locked by Xiao Ding around his neck, his face showed a helpless expression. He really didn’t know which man could handle his second sister’s almost non-feminine personality in the future.

Following Xiao Ding and turning a few corners in the corridor, they arrived at a rather magnificent hallway. Xiao Yan immediately saw Xiao Li standing at the entrance of a wide-open double door, looking inside with a helpless expression.

“Elder Sister.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing the call, Xiao Li turned her head and saw Xiao Yan waving at her. A smile immediately appeared on her face.

“Yan’er, you’re awake.”

Taking two steps toward Xiao Yan, Xiao Li stared at him intently as he approached with Xiao Ding. After a while, she sighed softly and reached out to pat Xiao Yan’s head.

“Don’t do that again next time. If something happens to you, I won’t know how to explain it to Father.”

“Um– sorry.”

Xiao Yan scratched his cheek awkwardly, not giving a straightforward answer to Xiao Li.

Upon this, Xiao Li also felt somewhat helpless.

She knew very well that it was pointless to say anything to her little brother.

If Xiao Yan were to do it again, he would still rush into the flames without hesitation.

“Elder Sister, how are the Snake-People Tribe now?”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and asked. Xiao Li withdrew her hand and smiled gently.

“They are doing well. These days, Lord Jia and Princess Yao Ye have been here to negotiate with the Tribe Leaders. Although the Snake-People Tribe still can’t completely trust the royal family, with me and Princess Yao Ye here, things will go smoothly.”

Xiao Li didn’t need to say much. She had made many efforts before to reconcile humans and the Snake-People Tribe. It could be said that she was the human most trusted by the Snake-People Tribe.

As for Yao Ye, her declaration on that day, even at the risk of her life, had deeply moved those present, including Yue Mei, making them less resentful towards the Jia Ma Royal Family.

Yue Mei directly expressed to Jia Xing Tian that they could slowly negotiate reconciliation now. During this period, they, the Tribe Leaders, would do ideological work for the people. After Yao Ye truly inherited the royal family in the future, reconciliation would be a matter of course.

However, when Xiao Yan heard Xiao Li’s words, he furrowed his brows slightly.

“Negotiate with the Tribe Leaders? What about Queen Medusa?”

Shouldn’t this kind of thing be discussed with the highest leader of the Snake-People Tribe?

“Queen Medusa…”

Xiao Yan’s inquiry made Xiao Li’s expression somewhat conflicted, surprising Xiao Yan.

Could it be—the evolution failed?!

“Ah— don’t worry, Queen Medusa’s evolution was indeed successful.”

Seeing Xiao Yan’s expression, Xiao Li lifted a finger lightly, while Xiao Ding beside her held her head, looking helpless as she muttered softly.

“Queen Medusa’s current situation is not very suitable for conversation, though.”

“Huh?”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows lightly, a question mark flashing in his mind.

What does that mean?

Peng!

Suddenly, a black figure flew out horizontally from behind Xiao Li’s door, crashing heavily into the wall, startling Xiao Yan.

But Xiao Li seemed to have expected it and didn’t feel surprised. She turned her head to look at the figure and furrowed her brows slightly.

“Tribe Leader Mo Ba Si, you just woke up from a near-death experience, don’t get involved in this matter for now.”

The figure was indeed Mo Ba Si! He was alive!

That day, Mo Ba Si had faced Yan Luo Tian’s attack head-on to protect Queen Medusa. At that time, everyone thought he had died.

However, unexpectedly, Mo Ba Si was extremely tough. Despite his internal organs being partially exposed, he still clung to life. It was only with the joint request of Yue Mei and others that Gu He came to his rescue and pulled him back from the brink of death.

“Your Majesty is in this state now, how can I, as her subject, rest peacefully in bed?”

In response to Xiao Li’s concern, Mo Ba Si immediately refused. Xiao Li’s expression became helpless.

This was just his personality. Even though his perception of humans had changed somewhat, his stubborn temper hadn’t changed at all.

Mo Ba Si still had thick bandages around his chest. At Gu He’s request, he was advised not to use Dou Qi until he fully recovered, to avoid aggravating his old injuries.

But just facing the person inside, Mo Ba Si might as well use Dou Qi, otherwise, Xiao Li was afraid that Mo Ba Si might accidentally end up in a critical condition again.

“Huh? Xiao Yan! You’re awake?!”

Mo Ba Si suddenly caught sight of Xiao Yan behind Xiao Li and looked surprised at first. Then, he lowered his fists deeply toward Xiao Yan.

“I deeply apologize to you for the urgent situation that day!”

“Everything before was my fault, and I, Mo Ba Si, am willing to accept any punishment!”

“Even if you want my life, I won’t frown!”

Seeing Mo Ba Si bow deeply to him, Xiao Yan scratched his face awkwardly.

Indeed, Mo Ba Si’s extreme aversion to humans had caused him quite a bit of trouble. In the Ya Qiu tribe, he had attacked Xiao Yan without listening to his explanation. Xiao Yan was surrounded by the Tribe Leaders because Mo Ba Si had delayed time with his life. It had eventually led to uncovering the traitor of the Snake-People Tribe, necessitating Mo Ba Si’s faked death.

Looking back, Mo Ba Si was indeed the root cause of the recent series of events.

If you were to ask Xiao Yan if he held any grudges against him, there might still be some, but not to the extent of needing Mo Ba Si to pay with his life.

“It’s okay, what’s past is past. Am I not alive and well now?”

Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand, fearing that Mo Ba Si, with his stubbornness, would still cling to the matter of apologizing, so he quickly changed the subject.

“Why did you just fly out from inside?”

“Uh…” Hearing Xiao Yan’s question, Mo Ba Si raised his head and looked somewhat embarrassed. “It’s Queen Medusa…”

Queen Medusa?

Mo Ba Si’s answer puzzled Xiao Yan.

Mo Ba Si was still a severely injured patient, so did Queen Medusa really just throw him out like that? Was Queen Medusa so cruel to her subordinates?

Peng!

Another figure suddenly flew out horizontally.

It was Hei Du!

What exactly happened inside?

Frowning tightly, Xiao Yan went past Xiao Li to the door and peered into the room.

The room was large, more like a hall than a bedroom, not for living but for handling affairs.

A magnificent stone chair sat on a platform, and below the platform, the Tribe Leaders of the Snake-People Tribe were standing in a circle, bending their bodies, sweat dripping from their foreheads. Each of them held food in their hands, seemingly trying to appease something on the ground.

That something on the ground was a snake, a colorful and quite cute little snake.

Just as Xiao Yan was wondering what the little snake’s identity was to make the Tribe Leaders of the Snake-People Tribe treat it with such care, Xiao Li’s helpless voice entered his ears.

“That colorful little snake is Queen Medusa.”

“—Huh???”

Xiao Yan was instantly full of question marks, he looked back at Xiao Li, then at the colorful little snake. His facial expression twisted with confusion

He had personally seen Queen Medusa that day, majestic and aloof. How could she have turned into such a cute appearance?

(The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is the form Queen Medusa took after a successful evolution.) Yao Chen slowly began to explain, (The evolution was interrupted at the critical moment, causing a minor problem in the process. Although the evolution was successful, Queen Medusa’s soul fell into a deep slumber due to excessive damage.)

(So, that means…)

Xiao Yan’s mouth twitched slightly, and Yao Chen provided an answer.

(That colorful little snake is indeed just a newly hatched Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, completely lacking Queen Medusa’s consciousness.)

“…Senior Yao, does this count as a successful evolution or a failure?”

(Of course, it’s a success. It’s just that Queen Medusa’s soul hasn’t fully awakened yet. When her soul fully recovers, she’ll be able to control her body again.) Yao Chen said with a smile, looking somewhat amused at the respectful behavior of the Snake-People Tribe Tribe Leaders toward the colorful little snake in the hall, (But before Queen Medusa’s soul awakens, these Tribe Leaders might be in trouble.)

After explaining to Xiao Yan, Xiao Li sighed softly.

“It’s because of Queen Medusa’s current appearance that the reconciliation has to be temporarily postponed. Don’t be fooled by how cute that little snake looks. Even Lord Jia doesn’t dare to get too close to her.”

“Huh? Even Lord Jia?”

Xiao Yan’s face was full of shock.

Who was Jia Xing Tian? The guardian of the royal family, a Peak Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) combatant!. It could be said that he was the strongest person in the current Jia Ma Empire!

Yet even such a person dared not approach this little snake?

Yao Chen also provided an answer to Xiao Yan.

(Of course, although this little snake’s consciousness is similar to that of a newly born magical beast, its strength is that of a real Dou Zong (Battle Ancestor, 8th Level).)

Dou Zong (Battle Ancestor, 8th Level)?!

That colorful little snake that looked harmless and cute to the extreme?

Inside the hall, Yue Mei held food in her hands and bowed low, offering the food to the colorful little snake with fear and humility.

“That— Your Majesty, you haven’t eaten anything since you were born. At least eat something. What if you starve?”

As Yue Mei spoke, she forced a smile on her face, feeling quite strange in her heart.

Although what she said was true, the colorful little snake had indeed just hatched from its egg two days ago, so it was not wrong to say it was just born. But it was also Queen Medusa herself, which made the situation quite awkward.

“Umm~~”

Faced with Yue Mei’s attentive attitude, the colorful little snake snorted lightly, looking displeased as it turned its little head away, showing no intention of acknowledging Yue Mei.

Yue Mei really felt like crying but had no tears. Where was the dignity? Where was the aloofness? How did Her Majesty turn into this little rascal?

But for the sake of Her Majesty, she had to endure any suffering!

Yue Mei admonished herself in her heart, putting on a kind smile again as she approached the colorful little snake with the food in her hand.

“Your Majesty, please eat something~”

It seemed that Yue Mei’s persistence had annoyed the colorful little snake, causing it to suddenly turn its head and stare at Yue Mei with its long, slender snake’s child’s eyes, opening its small mouth wide to show a threatening demeanor.

“Hiss!”

The little snake is extremely fierce!

“Umm?”

Seeing the intimidation from the colorful little snake, Yue Mei suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, and a look of fear appeared on her face, as if she sensed that something ominous was about to happen.

Sure enough, as Yue Mei expected.

After intimidating Yue Mei, the colorful little snake twisted its body and then suddenly swung its short tail towards Yue Mei, instantly knocking her back.

This scene made Xiao Yan suddenly realize.

Ah, so this was how both Mo Ba Si and Hei Du were knocked out.

But compared to Mo Ba Si and Hei Du, Yue Mei was undoubtedly much luckier.

Just as Yue Mei flew out of the hall door, she was caught steadily by Xiao Li.

Xiao Li looked at Yue Mei in her arms and asked softly with concern, “Yue Mei, are you okay?”

“Ah… I’m fine.”

Yue Mei looked up at Xiao Li, then glanced back at the colorful little snake in the hall, which was being courted by the other Tribe Leaders, with a look of distress in her eyes.

“When will Her Majesty recover…”

“Don’t worry.” Xiao Li smiled faintly and comforted her softly, “Since the evolution has been successful, it’s only a matter of time before she recovers.”

“…Let’s hope so.”

Xiao Li’s comfort made Yue Mei feel a little better.

Just then, the colorful little snake, which had been ignoring the courting Tribe Leaders, suddenly noticed something and its eyes suddenly emitted a golden light. Immediately, it swam quickly towards the door.

?!

This scene surprised everyone. Before anyone could react, the colorful little snake, in Xiao Yan’s astonished gaze, suddenly rushed towards him and darted into his arms.

“Eh?!”

Xiao Yan was quite startled by the sudden movement of the colorful little snake. Although it looked very cute, it was still Queen Medusa!

“Wait— come out first!”

Xiao Yan reached out to try to take the colorful little snake out of his arms, but it flicked his hand away with its tail, then darted into his clothes and started wriggling around.

“Don’t! Stop moving! It’s tickling!”

Feeling the cold body of the colorful little snake wriggling all over him, Xiao Yan felt quite uncomfortable. He tried to grab the colorful little snake out, but it was elusive.

Seeing Xiao Yan’s awkward appearance, Yao Chen who was inside the ring couldn’t help but laugh.

(Haha~ It seems this little girl really likes you~)

(Senior Yao! Please don’t tease your disciple!)

Xiao Yan was sweating profusely, feeling extremely anxious. Why did this little snake keep darting around on him?!

At this moment, Xiao Li furrowed her brows and suddenly spoke up.

“Is it… trying to find something on you?”
