Chapter 139 The Queen Who Says One Thing and Means Another
"who!?"

Xiao Yan, Qing Lin, and Medusa all followed Chu Xiao's gaze, their eyes wary.

Medusa was the most extreme example; despite being a peak Dou Huang, she didn't even realize someone was hiding there.

Could it be that some members of the ancient clans are unwilling to accept their humiliation and are hiding in the shadows, preparing to launch a sneak attack on Chu Xiao?

"Young Master Chu Xiao."

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared out of thin air, arriving a few feet away from Chu Xiao like a gust of wind, and transformed into a figure dressed in a black robe.

This person wore a mask, revealing only a pair of shrewd eyes, giving off an unfathomable and unpredictable feeling.

"This person should be an eight-star Dou Huang." Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind: "The clothes he wears are very special, and the cultivation technique he practices is also very special, both of which can hide his various auras."

Xiao Yan understood immediately; this was a Dou Huang powerhouse who was very good at hiding his true strength.

"Elder Ling." Chu Xiao smiled and nodded, then introduced him to Medusa and the others: "This is Elder Ling. He is usually responsible for protecting Xun'er and will be following me from now on."

Before leaving, Xun'er whispered in his ear that she would leave Ling Ying behind to work for him.

To establish and develop the Lingxiao Pavilion, a considerable number of Dou Huang and Dou Zong would be needed in the early stages, so he didn't stand on ceremony.

"So it was someone Xun'er left behind." Medusa felt a little relieved, but also somewhat sentimental.

She herself was the strongest among the entire snake-people, yet she was only about as strong as the guards that Xun'er casually left behind.

Chu Xiao was unaware of Cai Lin's thoughts and was teasing Ling Ying: "Old Ling, you won't be wronged following me in the future, after all, it's not as promising as following Xun'er."

“Young Master Chu Xiao is too kind,” Ling Ying replied respectfully. “Not to mention that Miss’s orders cannot be disobeyed, even with your talent, Young Master, this old servant believes that I have a bright future.”

If he was somewhat apprehensive before today, he was completely relieved after seeing Chu Xiao suppress Ling Quan and Yang Qian one after another.

The ancient tribes were indeed very strong, but people like him were too ordinary to receive much resource support.

If it weren't for his cousin Lingyan's good talent and strength, and his own dark attribute cultivator being very suitable to protect Xun'er, he wouldn't have had this job.

Xun'er is a sentimental person. If he were to return to the ancient clan with her, he would certainly receive many rewards and a good job arrangement, but that would be his future.

His own talent and the class system within the ancient clan determined that he could not continue to follow Xun'er, and his future was limited!
But if he followed Chu Xiao and bet everything with his Dou Huang strength, the outcome might be different!
"Hahaha!" Chu Xiao laughed heartily, "Thank you for your trust, Elder Ling."

“In the future, I will definitely pay a visit to the ancient clan. If your strength can surpass that of many people who were more talented and powerful than you in the past, I think the ancient clan will be more willing to recognize me.”

"This old servant dares not think too much, but I will do my best to protect you, young master," Ling Ying said truthfully.

If the ancient clan were billionaires, I would only be willing to offer them a million-dollar annual salary.

If Chu Xiao becomes a multi-millionaire in the future, he might give him two million or even more.

He believed that following Chu Xiao was more promising than returning to the ancient clan, but he did not think that Chu Xiao could be compared to the ancient clan. These two points were not contradictory.

But the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on his masked face.

"I just managed to gather a few ingredients for refining the Imperial Extreme Pill recently." Chu Xiao took out a storage ring and tossed it to Xiao Yan: "Could you please ask Senior Yao to refine it for me?"

The old medicine doctor: "."

Am I some kind of useful alchemy tool?

"Four Royal Extreme Pills. Elder Ling, if you take one, you can rise from the peak of the eighth star to the peak of the ninth star."

“I’ll give one more to Elder Hai, and Yunyun can have one too.”

"There's one left."

Chu Xiao rested his chin on his hand and began to think.

Then he felt two burning gazes from the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Golden Scaled Phoenix.

The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, however, showed little reaction. As a peak sixth-tier magical beast, the Imperial Extreme Pill had little effect on it.

"Whoever performs better between you two will get the last Imperial Pill," Chu Xiao said, making a promise as he pleased.

He didn't specify how to define "good performance" or when the evaluation would end, essentially leaving the evaluation hanging.

But the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Golden Scaled Phoenix believed it and looked at each other with hostility.

"My lord, I do not need the Imperial Pill, but I will definitely perform better than them." The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast expressed its loyalty at the right time, while also putting down the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and the Golden Scale Luan Bird.

Chu Xiao gave the blood bull reserved for Little Fairy Doctor a deep look, and then took out a jade pendant from his storage ring: "Elder Ling, there is also a Breakthrough Pill here. I will give it to you after you reach the peak of Dou Huang and comprehend the power of space."

"If you reach the Dou Zong level, you'll be able to help me even more." Ling Ying: !
I'm optimistic about Young Master Chu Xiao's future and I'm investing my life in him.

Why did you pre-order a Dou Zong position?
At that moment, Ling Ying suddenly felt that what Chu Xiao had just said might actually come true.

The thought of returning to the ancient clan as a Dou Zun in the future, surpassing his former friends and rivals, filled him with immense joy.
Celestial Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast: !? !

Medusa, who had been nonchalantly crossing her arms: ? ? ?

"The Breakthrough Pill!" Medusa's tone turned fiery: "Why won't you give it to me?"

"You don't need it." Chu Xiao replied calmly, "For you, using the Breaking Sect Pill to advance to the Dou Zong realm is extremely inferior. You're just a mere seventh-order Purple Nether Flame Serpent. With your secret techniques and bloodline potential exhausted, it will be very difficult to become a Dou Zun without a heaven-defying opportunity. The resources consumed will be many times greater."

"But I can use a different kind of fire to help your bloodline transform into a seven-colored Sky-Devouring Python. You can then break through to the Dou Zong level, and it will only be a matter of time before you grow to the Dou Zun level. It will be faster and require fewer resources."

Medusa naturally understood these principles, which had always been her pursuit; otherwise, she wouldn't have been trapped at the peak of the Douhuang realm for so many years.

"I can give it to the elders of the clan," Medusa said enthusiastically. "If any of them reach the Dou Zong level, my pressure will be much less, and the Snake-People clan will have a much better life."

"That's none of my business." Chu Xiao met Medusa's gaze calmly: "I'm happy to let you use me, but your people are none of my business."

"Our relationship hasn't reached the point where I can extend my love to everything related to her."

【Cai Lin is truly naive and innocent.】

[If you elevate a Dou Huang within your clan to Dou Zong, will they still listen to you?]

[They're just a bunch of old fogies who always rely on their seniority and try to control you, their queen. They're fine with it as they're all riding on your coattails.]

Medusa: "."

This man truly knew everything about her snake-woman race.

"Hmph, who cares?" Medusa tilted her head and sneered, "It's just a mere Dou Zong Pill."

The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast blinked its big eyes wildly: Don't give it to me!

"You're just saying one thing and meaning another," Chu Xiao chuckled.

Medusa glared at him angrily; this little man had actually seen right through her.

When it comes to saying one thing and meaning another, you, Chu Xiao, are no less hypocritical!
"Ahem." Ling Ying suddenly knelt down on one knee before Chu Xiao and said solemnly, "Thank you for your reward, young master."

"From now on, anyone who wants to harm the young master will have to step over this old servant's dead body first."

Cai Lin: “.”

"Elder Ling, you're too kind. You're one of Xun'er's people who stayed with me." Chu Xiao gave Cai Lin a look that said, "Look at her and then look at you," smiled gently, and helped Ling Ying up.

"Having a Dou Zong by my side gives me a greater sense of security in this small territory of the Jia Ma Empire. Elder Ling, please don't let me down."

Ling Ying said he would definitely seize this opportunity.

After finishing their chatter, Chu Xiao waved his hand and put the three magical beasts into his small world.

"Brother Yan, I'm going into seclusion now. You can continue your training in this valley." Chu Xiao looked at Xiao Yan: "After Senior Yao has finished refining the pills, just hand them over to Elder Ling."

The old medicine doctor: "."

I hate this feeling of being completely at someone's mercy.

"Cousin, why are you always in seclusion?" Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

"Otherwise, if everyone were like you, how could they improve their strength so quickly?" Yao Lao's voice rang out.

Xiao Yan:?
Chu Xiao smiled without saying a word, and led Medusa and Qing Lin back into the small world.

Medusa continued her cultivation on the green lotus, while Qinglin went to the cave to refine her battle qi.

Chu Xiao teleported to a valley with a unique terrain in the small world and took out the essence blood of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the Golden Scaled Phoenix, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, the Black-backed Ape Demon, and Yang Qian's sixth-tier mid-stage magical beast blood.

"Then let's get started."

[Beginning a new period of seclusion.]

Women:?
At this moment, they are all Xiao Yan.

Why are you always in seclusion, Chu Xiao?
