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

Chapter 168 Good food makes you a waste of food, good women make you a waste of food...

Xiao Ran blinked in confusion and looked at the elder.

Then he looked at the other elders.

The elder said helplessly,

"Her Majesty the Queen is already angry; that's a woman's sign—everyone gets jealous."

"Hey kid, what are you waiting for? Go after them!"

Xiao Ran suddenly realized why he hadn't thought of that.

The main reason is that these four elders had always acted in a strictly official manner.

This left Xiao Ran momentarily bewildered.

Upon hearing the elder's words, he quickly clasped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder! And thank you to all the other elders!"

Immediately, the fighting spirit wings on its back unfolded, and it soared straight into the sky.

Behind him came the words of an elder.

"Her Majesty the Queen must be back at the temple by now."

After Xiao Ran left, the elders exchanged glances.

"Hahaha!"

The elders all burst into laughter.

The elder shook his head with a helpless smile and said...

"He's a fine young man, but he's also quite the romantic. I'm afraid Her Majesty the Queen will have a lot to suffer in the future."

"Heh, who can argue with that?"

The second elder, standing to the side, chuckled and said...

"However, it's normal for a capable man to act this way."

"Alright, alright everyone, stop talking, let's get down to business."

"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly distribute all these pills and give them to the suitable strong members of the clan so that we can improve our strength."

"That's right. If the relocation of the Monster Mountain Range goes ahead, our current strength will be insufficient."

"At that time, we will be surrounded by three major empires, and we won't be able to stand firm."

"Eldest sister is absolutely right!"

The other elders nodded in agreement.

Then he immediately stepped forward and began to collect the pills and jade bottles scattered all over the ground.

Their exclamations could be heard every now and then.

"Wow! A fourth-grade elixir, the Purple Spirit Pill!"

"Heavens! The Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill!"

"Look, there's a bottle of grade five pills here."

"Wow! A sixth-grade pill, the Battle Spirit Pill."

"..."

……

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran slipped into Queen Medusa's temple.

It was not easy, and after much persuasion, that they finally managed to appease the proud Queen.

After a vigorous detoxification process,

Xiao Ran played with the smooth, long hair of Queen Medusa in his arms.

"Xiaomei, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"You need to take good care of yourself; you're not alone anymore."

Queen Medusa closed her beautiful eyes slightly and spoke softly.

"How I do things is none of your concern."

"You'd better worry about your Yun'er and yourself, or you'll end up in a mess!"

"Hehe~"

Xiao Ran gave an awkward smile.

"Xiao Mei, what are you saying? You are all equal in my heart."

Queen Medusa stretched lazily and slowly sat up.

She gracefully put on her clothes and crown, then turned to look at Xiao Ran calmly and said,

"You men's mouths are all lies."

"Leave on your own tomorrow; there's no need for you to report to me."

Xiao Ran looked at Queen Medusa with anticipation.

"Your Majesty, I would like to do you another favor tonight and help you detoxify yourself."

Queen Medusa's face flushed a beautiful blush.

She rolled her eyes with a captivating charm.

"Insolence! The poison in my body has already been cleared; there is no need for further treatment."

After saying that, he walked straight out the door.

Xiao Ran hurriedly asked,

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Queen Medusa said calmly,

"Of course I'll go check on the clan's affairs. Do you think everyone's like you, not needing to care about anything?"

After saying that, Queen Medusa walked straight out of the room.

Xiao Ran looked at the empty hall of Medusa and let out a long sigh.

Thankfully, we finally managed to appease this beautiful snake woman.

His face immediately fell, and he quickly reached out and gently rubbed his aching lower back.

He muttered to himself,

"No, it seems I'll have to ask for a few prescriptions when I see the old doctor again."

"As expected of Queen Medusa who has successfully advanced, this is too much for her back."

Where should we go first tomorrow?

Let's clear up our doubts first, and then get our hands on the other half of the map.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but recall Hai Bodong, who was still waiting for him in the map shop in Mocheng.

He slapped his forehead.

That old guy must be getting impatient.

When we get back, let's go there first and take this angel investor with us.

This is a long-term enforcer.

That night,

When Xiao Ran couldn't sleep,

Queen Medusa said that the poison had lessened.

But they still came.

The euphemism was that Xiao Ran should serve Her Majesty the Queen.

Xiao Ran could not have obtained what he desired.

Parting is always a joyful occasion.

Early the next morning,

After Xiao Ran got up, a beautiful snake-woman maid brought him a delicious meal.

Xiao Ran then asked,

"Is Her Majesty the Queen in?"

The maid with the long snake tail spoke respectfully.

"My lord, Her Majesty the Queen went to inspect the various territories of the tribe early this morning and is not currently in the Divine City."

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback.

Even so late last night, Her Majesty the Queen was still so energetic!

You have to admire him.

Good food makes you a lazy bum, and a good woman makes you a lazy bum...

"When will she be back?"

The little snake girl shook her head in bewilderment.

Xiao Ran sighed helplessly, already having guessed what was going on in his mind.

It's probably because this proud woman is unwilling to endure separation.

He then waved his hand and said to the little snake woman,

"You may leave now. Remember to tell Her Majesty the Queen when she returns."

"I will be back."

"Yes, sir," the snake-woman maidservant bowed respectfully.

Then, wriggling its tail, it slowly disappeared away.

She was even more astonished. Could this man be Her Majesty the Queen's husband?

It must be, otherwise why would he be living in Her Majesty's usual bedroom?

The snake woman's snake tail turned slightly red with excitement at the thought that she had actually spoken to Her Majesty the Queen's husband.

He casually ate a couple of bites of the snake-people's food.

Xiao Ran arrived at the residence of the four elders and respectfully bid them farewell.

They arrived at the island in the center of the lake and retrieved the long-withered Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Immediately, with a flap of its fiery wings, it sped towards the horizon.

An interesting thing happened during that time.

That was when they encountered Mobas, one of the eight snake leaders of the snake people.

However, contrary to expectations, Mobass appeared extremely respectful.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran arrive, he lowered his head from a distance.

This made Xiao Ran even more eager to see the strength.

I remember in the original story, when Xiao Yanzi came to the Snake People, he was ridiculed and mocked.

He was even challenged by Mobas, the leader of the snake-people tribe.

It was the Queen who intervened and suppressed it.

Otherwise, Xiao Yanzi might cause trouble.

It would take a demon possession to work.

But what about myself now?

As he reached the fourth level of Douhuang, coupled with his own skills as a seventh-grade alchemist.

The entire Serpent People tribe treated them with utmost respect.
