While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 101: The Dou Zong Arrives, Medusa Reappears

Dede~

As dawn quietly crept across the horizon, a hunched figure traversed the holy city of the Serpent People and knocked on the door of a small building.

"Young friend Chen Xiao, excuse me. I've come to bring some food to Her Majesty the Queen, no, to that little fellow."

Looking at the old woman standing in front of him, a hint of helplessness flashed across Chen Xiao's face.

Today is the seventh day since Queen Medusa successfully evolved. In the past few days, the four elders of the Snake-People seem to have learned from Flower Snake why the Little Devouring Python is close to Chen Xiao and Zi Yan. So, they thought of doing the same thing to lure the Little Devouring Python back.

Although they were no longer worried about Queen Medusa's safety after learning that the little Devouring Python was a newly born soul and that Queen Medusa would likely have the upper hand in the struggle for control of the body, it was still strange to think that their own queen was being kept as a pet by an outsider.

Therefore, we must take the little Devouring Python back with us.

There is no time to delay!

Doesn’t the little Sky-Swallowing Python like things with fire attributes and abundant energy?

Fortunately, the Tagor Desert has quite a few of these kinds of things due to its geographical environment.

Among them is a medicinal herb called Akabane Fruit, which not only contains abundant energy, but also tastes sweet and delicious. Zi Yan said it is delicious after eating it.

And so, the four elders of the snake-people clan came to find Chen Xiao that very day, and took out more than ten Crimson Feather Fruits to tempt the little Devouring Python.

However, to their disappointment, although the little Devouring Python was somewhat interested in the Crimson Feather Fruit, it was extremely wary of the auras revealed by the four of them, and was on high alert.

Seeing this, the four elders could only leave the medicinal herbs behind, shake their heads, and leave.

Then, starting from the second day, they changed their method. From the First Elder to the Fourth Elder, they took turns sending one of them each day to continue to lure the little Devouring Python, instead of acting together.

It did have an effect; at the very least, the little Devouring Python relaxed its guard considerably and was willing to eat the Crimson Feather Fruit they offered.

Unfortunately, that was all the effect it had.

After eating and drinking enough every day, the little Sky-Swallowing Python no longer pays attention to the regularly refreshed breeder...

Chen Xiao slightly stepped aside to let the second elder of the snake-man race enter the room, and then took out a jade bottle without a stopper from his sleeve.

With a gentle tap on the bottle, the little Devouring Python's delicate and adorable head emerged from the bottle in the next instant.

It glanced at Chen Xiao before turning to look at today's keeper. With a slight twist of its body, it leaped out of the jade bottle and landed on the table.

Seven days later, with the feeding of the elders, the little Devouring Python's body had clearly grown, about an inch longer than when it first evolved, but it was only about a finger's length in total, which did not affect its appearance at all.

"Little one, eat up. When you're full, come back with me. You can eat as much as you want then."

The old woman forced a slightly eerie smile, her face a mass of wrinkles that, if this were in a world without supernatural abilities, would be enough to frighten a baby into silence.

While enticing her, she took out three fiery red fruits from her storage ring, and a delicate fragrance slowly spread throughout the room.

Under the old woman's expectant gaze, the little python did not react, but simply buried its head in its rice.

That body, no bigger than a finger, completely drained three fist-sized fruits. Apart from its belly swelling slightly, there was no other noticeable change.

After eating and drinking its fill, the little Devouring Python skillfully climbed onto the jade bottle that Chen Xiao had placed on the table and burrowed inside.

Two seconds later, as if sensing that Chen Xiao had not yet retracted himself, the little Devouring Python poked its head out again, hissing and flicking its pink tongue, as if urging him on.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao suppressed a laugh and waved his hand to put the jade bottle into his sleeve.

In contrast, the second elder of the snake-man race had a deep frown, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

If it weren't for the fact that this little Devouring Python and Queen Medusa share the same body, and that insulting it is tantamount to insulting Her Majesty the Queen, even the old woman would want to complain.

This little guy is a complete ingrate!

"Hehe, it seems this little guy is still a bit unfamiliar with us. We'll come again tomorrow, and we won't disturb young friend Chen Xiao's cultivation any longer."

With a forced smile, the old woman shook her head and left.

Queen Medusa had already revealed Chen Xiao's identity to them before she evolved.

Moreover, they also knew that Chen Xiao had played a part in Queen Medusa obtaining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

For this reason, the four elders could be described as friendly towards Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao nodded and watched the other person leave.

The four elders came to feed the little Devouring Python every day. Except for the first time when Chen Xiao was a little worried that the little Devouring Python would be kidnapped, he was very relaxed every day after that.

In fact, they were eager for them to come.

After all, he hadn't prepared much food for the little Devouring Python. At the rate at which the little guy consumed it, it wouldn't last long. The actions of the four elders undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.

Of course, while he thought this way, he still had to show his helplessness on his face. Otherwise, if the four elders went against his wishes, Chen Xiao would have to spend some effort finding food for the little Devouring Python.

Sitting back at the head of the bed, Chen Xiao put his left hand into his sleeve and withdrew it only after feeling a circle of warmth on his fingertips.

In the past few days, he has noticed that the little Devouring Python's body gets warmer after each meal, as if it is digesting the energy in its body.

Letting it wrap around his fingertip like a storage ring, Chen Xiao slightly circulated his internal fighting spirit, gently stroking the little Devouring Python's body as if playing with a jade thumb ring, causing it to squint its eyes in contentment.

"Old Hai still isn't coming. He said he hasn't been back to Mo City for several years and needs to reminisce. He told us to go find him after we leave the Holy City."

The voice rang out before the person even appeared.

After saying that, Zi Yan finally appeared.

On the day they settled in the Holy City, Chen Xiao sent Zi Yan to Mo City to explain the situation to Hai Bodong.

He did want to go in person, but the four elders of the Serpent Clan would certainly not feel comfortable letting him leave the Holy City, and would worry that he would abduct Queen Medusa.

Therefore, Chen Xiao was too lazy to bother verifying the four elders' thoughts and simply asked Zi Yan to deliver the message, since she had nothing to do all day anyway.

"Alright, I reckon it won't be long, just a few days..."

Before Chen Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly stood up.

Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, also became slightly serious.

Just now, both of them sensed an extremely powerful aura sweeping across the Holy City. The strength of that aura was no less than that of the powerful figures they had sensed in several major cities in the Black Corner Region.

"A Dou Zong level expert!"

"He's no worse than Old Man Su!"

Both of them had met many Dou Huangs, and had even had a lot of contact with Queen Medusa, who was at the peak of Dou Huang. At this moment, they were able to confirm the identity of the newcomer simply by his aura.

The newcomer must be a Dou Zong!

"Could it be that people from the Dan and Cao families have arrived?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xiao had some guesses in his mind.

hum~

Just then, a burst of intense light suddenly erupted from the room, causing Chen Xiao and Zi Yan to reflexively squint their eyes.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, but the moment it faded, Chen Xiao's pensive expression froze, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his back.

Because he could clearly feel that the little Devouring Python he was stroking in his hand suddenly grew larger.

At the same time, the texture became increasingly soft, and he could tell which part it was without even looking down...

Without making a sound, Chen Xiao withdrew his hand from Queen Medusa's waist and quickly walked out of the room.

"The person I'm waiting for should have arrived. I'll go check. Ziyan, you guys follow!"

Inside the room, Zi Yan was still reeling from the surprise of Queen Medusa's appearance when she saw Chen Xiao spread his battle qi wings and fly away.

"Medusa, you can reveal yourself now!"

Queen Medusa nodded slightly, with a slightly forced smile on her face, in response to Zi Yan. She looked towards the sky outside the door, her silver teeth clenched, and her bright eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Even though the little Devouring Python's soul dominates its body, she is still able to sense the situation outside.

She just sensed the aura of a Dou Zong powerhouse passing through the Holy City, and she showed up without having time to think too much.

Unexpectedly…
