In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 165 The Breath of Life, An Inescapable Duty

Queen Medusa, standing to the side, had been ignoring what was happening here.

But having been paying close attention to their conversation, upon hearing the Grand Elder say this...

Queen Medusa knew this.

The final result is finally about to be revealed.

But for some reason, she felt a little nervous at this moment and secretly glanced at Xiao Ran.

Through these days of contact with Xiao Ran,

There was also the strength he displayed, and his miraculous alchemy skills.

Medusa would never believe that he wasn't being mentored by someone behind the scenes.

First of all,

Xiao Ran's youth is evident in many instances of detoxification.

Furthermore, its background is mysterious.

This is mainly reflected in his miraculous alchemy skills and the fact that he had already reached the Douhuang realm at a young age.

And what about Queen Medusa?

She has cultivated for decades, and now...

It was only with Xiao Ran's help that it was able to successfully evolve.

If nothing unexpected happens...

He'll probably only ever be a Dou Zong in this lifetime.

Xiao Ran, on the other hand, has a limitless future.

Queen Medusa's approval of Xiao Ran was evident.

There was also a greater sense of entanglement, worry, and fear.

They were afraid that Xiao Ran might actually be a scion of some powerful family, out here to gain experience.

But she herself was just like the women in countless stories who were easily betrayed.

Therefore, during each detoxification process

Although deep down I admit that I've fallen in love with this wonderful taste.

But they always maintained their pride and never allowed themselves to bow down easily.

While Xiao Ran was pleased with the elders, he was also extremely nervous.

Xiao Ran listened to the question posed by the Grand Elder.

I didn't expect the Snake Man group to be so straightforward, but he's not the kind of person who would back out after the fact.

He turned and glanced at the quiet Queen Medusa to the side.

Although she wasn't looking in this direction, her clenched hands revealed the tension and unease she felt.

With a slight smile, Xiao Ran turned to look at the Great Elder of the Snake-People Clan, nodded heavily, and said...

"The elder is right!"

"Xiao Mei and I are deeply in love and wish to grow old together. We beg the Elder to grant us this opportunity."

"Xiao Mei?"

The four elders exchanged glances.

They all looked at Queen Medusa with strange expressions.

How could they not know that Her Majesty the Queen had such a name?

Queen Medusa's previously calm face instantly flushed red, and she gave Xiao Ran a shy glare.

He looked somewhat exasperated.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

He felt even more ashamed and indignant.

How could this dead man call himself by that name in front of the elders?

Just looking at Queen Medusa's expression,

The elders began to have some guesses.

The Grand Elder, being a man of the world, rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear.

He coughed twice, then looked at Xiao Ran with a smile and said,

"Ahem, well, I heard before that Xiao Ran and Xiao Yan are seventh-grade alchemists."

"We were still a little doubtful, but now that we see you can refine so many pills in such a short time, we are even more convinced."

"In that case, it just so happens that I need to have a proper talk with you about the matter of our Queen."

Xiao Ran was speechless; this was just making conversation for the sake of it.

However, since she was Queen Medusa's elder, they still had to give her some face.

He cupped his hands in greeting and said,

"Elder, please give your orders. If Xiao Ran can fulfill them, I will do my utmost."

The implication is that if I can't or don't want to do it, I won't do it.

The Grand Elder ignored Xiao Ran's words, glanced at Queen Medusa, and said...

"That's right. I have a secret technique that can detect Her Majesty the Queen's physical condition. Since she is related to the safety of our entire Serpent People, we cannot be careless."

"That's only right!" Xiao Ran nodded, knowing that the elder must have more to say.

The elder continued,

"A few days ago, when we were examining Her Majesty the Queen's physical condition for Zhao Li, we suddenly discovered a faint life force within her body."

"What?"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback and quickly turned his head to look at Queen Medusa.

At this moment, Queen Medusa was nowhere to be seen, no longer displaying her former noble and aloof demeanor.

She stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Xiao Ran, like a helpless little girl.

Her beautiful face was filled with confusion and helplessness.

Noticing Xiao Ran's gaze, Queen Medusa snapped out of her reverie and said,

"Elder, is there something wrong with the secret technique? Mine is only..."

Before she could finish speaking, her cheeks turned bright red.

Xiao Ran was also quite shocked.

Having lived two lives, this is his first time being a father.

Although he worked diligently and conscientiously to detoxify, he was still surprised when he received the news that Queen Medusa was pregnant.

Even though Xiao Ran was prepared, his joy was still evident.

Looking at Xiao Ran and Medusa, one was happy and excited, while the other looked like a clueless greenhorn.

The Grand Elder chuckled and then spoke earnestly to Queen Medusa.

"Your Majesty is unaware that the faint life force within your abdomen is still very weak. Without careful examination using secret techniques, it is impossible to sense it at all."

Xiao Ran swallowed hard and looked at Queen Medusa, who was staring at him blankly with her mouth slightly agape.

Having guessed the Grand Elder's intention,

He then bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to the Grand Elder,

"I wonder if there is anything the Grand Elder needs me to do? I will do my best to help."

The elders all nodded in satisfaction at Xiao Ran's attitude.

Indeed, he is handsome, has an extraordinary background, possesses exceptional talent, and is a seventh-grade alchemist.

Most importantly,

He is still a responsible man.

Upon learning that Queen Medusa was pregnant, he did not hesitate to take on the responsibility of being a man.

In this respect, he far surpasses countless men in the world.

Queen Medusa also came to her senses slightly, and the confusion in her eyes had quietly turned into tenderness.

The Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction and solemnly said to Xiao Ran,

"Among the lineages of Queen Medusa of my Snake-People race, there is a secret technique that uses special elixirs to help the fetus advance its physique."

Then, the elder explained the various elixirs passed down through the Medusa clan.

Xiao Ran already understood the Grand Elder's meaning and directly stated,

"Please prepare the high-grade Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill formula, Elder. If you have all the necessary medicinal materials, I can start refining the pill now."

"Thank you very much, young friend Xiao Ran. My snake-people clan is deeply grateful." The elder bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Xiao Ran quickly dodged and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, the child in Xiaomei's womb, although it is the offspring of Medusa, is also my child."

"This is what I should do!"
