Chapter 962 The Kind-hearted Snake Lady

"This one?" The snake lady pushed up her glasses, closed the book, and looked at the name on the cover.

Just by looking at the title "Chronicles of the Ophiuchus Clan," Chen Guan knew that this was the book he needed.

He had only wanted the snake lady to bring him another book, but the snake lady put the one she was holding on the counter and pushed it in front of Chen Guan.

Chen Guan frowned, wanting to explain, but immediately gave up. There was no need to dwell on it; he had to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor in front of these legless, lowly serpent-like people.

Reaching out to take the book, Chen Guan walked straight to the library's reading room, sat down, and began to peruse "The Chronicle of the Ophiuchus Clan."

"I didn't expect Madam Snake to know how to enjoy life so much, she even provided such a comfortable sofa," Chen Guan remarked.

The script of the Ophiuchus tribe is very similar to human script, but also has some differences; it should also be a pictographic script.

For Chen Guan, not being able to read the language was not a serious problem at the moment; he could solve it with just one secret language tool.

Even without the secret treasure, Chen Guan could solve the problem using his own secret laws.

However, that would be risky. Fortunately, Chen Guan had already made preparations before coming to the Sky Secret Realm, so there was no need to modify the secret laws.

Although this is a chronicle, the concept of a year in the Ophiuchus tribe is different from that in the human concept.

The Ophiuchus year does not refer to a specific, fixed time scale, but rather to the length of time each Ophiuchus king reigns.

For example, the first king of the Ophiuchus tribe was "King Evil Awakening," so the year was named after him. Later, each new king of the Ophiuchus tribe would name the year after him.

The reign of a king, no matter how much time has passed, is always defined as one year.

Throughout the entire history of the Ophiuchus tribe, almost none of the kings met a good end; they were all killed. The difference was that some were killed by outsiders, while others were killed by the future new king.

Only a very small number die of old age after giving birth to offspring, due to lifespan limitations.

That makes sense when you think about it. The lifespan of a Sky Spirit is almost infinite. Before it dies, who would be willing to relinquish their power?

As Chen Guan flipped through the pages, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but glance at the snake lady outside through the glass of the reading room.

Seeing that she had picked up another book and was reading it without any apparent unusual behavior, he relaxed.

Chen Guan observed the hierarchical system of the Serpent Clan. The first part was as Chen Guan had imagined: the Serpent-tailed people had a relatively low status.

In the beginning, the Serpent Kings were all snake-tailed people. At that time, the Serpent Kings were an unknown little tribe, without even their own Void Realm, and were essentially living under the roof of others.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Evil King that the Serpent Clan had their own secret realm.

At the same time, King Evil created the secret technique most suitable for the Serpent Clan, "The Soaring Serpent Transformation Technique". After practicing this technique to a certain level, one can transform a serpent's tail into legs.

Therefore, the snake-man race, which has two legs, are respected because they are people with high cultivation levels and abilities.

However, not all snake ladies who cultivate the "Soaring Serpent Transformation Technique" will have legs. A small number of snake ladies, after cultivating the "Soaring Serpent Transformation Technique" to an extremely high level, can freely choose whether they are tails or legs.

Therefore, among ordinary snake ladies, judging them by their legs is not a problem. However, if you encounter a top-tier snake lady, simply looking at whether she has legs is inaccurate.

Fortunately, Chen Guan had not been in contact with Snake Lady's higher-ups, so he didn't need to worry about that.

Chen Guan continued watching, and after a while, he saw movement. He turned his head and saw the female administrator carrying a plate and swaying her snake tail as she came over.

When she got to Chen Guan's side, she placed a glass of red fruit syrup on the table.

"Is it for me? I didn't order any," Chen said, looking at the snake lady.

He wasn't worried about the poison in the food; poison wasn't a problem at all. With the Queen of Ten Thousand Poisons by his side, now at the Tenth Awakening level, there shouldn't be any poison she couldn't cure.

Chen Guan was mainly short of money, and he was afraid that the snake lady would make him pay.

He didn't want to attract the attention of the Serpent Clan for the time being. According to the Serpent Clan's chronicle, the Serpent Clan was already a top-tier race during the time of the Evil King. The Evil King was a level 100 powerhouse at that time, and he also had many powerful warriors by his side, occupying a place in Sky City.

The reason why the Serpent Clan later faded into obscurity was mainly because the subsequent kings did not send their own powerful warriors to inhabit the Sky Clan, resulting in the fact that the secret spirits of some smaller races did not know much about the Serpent Clan.

However, if the records in the chronicles are true, the strength of the Serpent Clan should not be underestimated, so Chen Guan had to postpone his plan to attack the Serpent Clan.

"This is for you. Nowadays, very few people in our tribe are willing to study." The snake lady said with a smile, then turned and left, twisting her snake tail.

To maintain his aloof demeanor, Chen Guan swallowed the words "thank you" that were on the tip of his tongue, watching as the female snake lady returned behind the counter to continue reading the chronicle of the snake-man tribe.

I took a sip of the fruit syrup; it was sweet and sour and quite delicious, and it was full of energy.

Chen Guan had already guessed that this was probably snake fruit jam, and its effects were indeed better than those of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.

For the Ophiuchus, this should be a very ordinary thing, worth about the same as a cup of coffee for humans.

"Being born in the Sky Secret Realm is awesome, you win at the starting line from birth." Chen Guan sighed inwardly, drinking as he continued reading: "This female snake lady is not bad."

This book is described as a chronicle, but it is actually more like a mythological chronicle. The timeline is too chaotic. Apart from providing a general understanding of the Ophiuchus tribe, many of the events in it are mythological, making it difficult to understand the true strength of the Ophiuchus tribe.

Chen Guan had no choice but to call the female administrator over again and ask her to find him a few more books about the history of the Ophiuchus tribe.

The snake lady walked slowly through the vast library, went to other floors, and after a while, returned carrying a stack of books and presented them to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan looked at the books and saw that they were indeed related to the history of the Serpent Clan. He waved for her to leave and then began to read them on his own.

After Chen Guan finished drinking the fruit juice, the snake lady came over with a pot and refilled his bowl twice more.

Chen Guan did not refuse and accepted the snake lady's flattery with a clear conscience.

"It's a pity I'm not the real Serpent Lady. If I were a high-ranking member of the Serpent Clan, I would at least give her a chance, transfer her out of the library, and give her a good future. Hmm, being a secretary wouldn't be bad either." Chen Guan thought to himself, "When I refine the Serpent Clan's Secret Realm in the future, I can take her with me and make her a maid."
