Simultaneous Transmigration: Minor Characters Don't Be Cannon Fodder

Chapter 99 Testing

With the help of accelerated thinking, Qingling's reading speed was very fast.

Before long, he had already read through several Xuan-level cultivation manuals.

Among them are fire-attribute techniques, water-attribute techniques, and techniques unique to the snake-people race.

They evolved rapidly in Qingling's mind, constantly integrating with the bloodline talents of the White King and Tiamat, as well as the inherited techniques of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.

Just as Qingling was immersed in the deduction of the cultivation technique, the snake-man fighting king who had been staying in the library had appeared not far from Qingling at some point.

It was a tall, thin male snake-man with grayish-brown scales, fine scales around his eyes, and a ferocious and terrifying face.

His eyes were fixed on Qingling, who was rapidly flipping through the pages of a book beside the bookshelf, a barely perceptible malice flashing in his eyes.

But this hint of malice could not escape the notice of Qingling, who possessed powerful mental strength, even though she was still reading a book.

But when that malice appeared in her senses, she immediately noticed it, couldn't help but frown, and looked up in the direction from which the malice came.

"Is there something you need, sir?"

Qingling's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet library.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I just sensed an unfamiliar presence entering the library and came to take a look."

"Speaking of which, beautiful lady, I don't recall seeing you before?"

"How did you manage to gain access to my snake-people's library?"

The male snake-man stared intently at Qingling's stunningly beautiful face, and couldn't help but stick out his slender tongue to lick the corner of his mouth.

Although he couldn't sense Qingling's cultivation level, he did detect a faint snake-like aura emanating from her.

This faint aura led him to mistakenly believe that Qingling was a snake-human hybrid.

He saw a beautiful snake-human hybrid, despite her inferior bloodline, as a good diversion.

I wonder who Qingling works for, since not just anyone can enter this library.

Therefore, the male snake-man planned to test Qingling's background. If Qingling had nothing to do with the Queen and the elders, then he would enjoy this seemingly top-notch hybrid.

The male snake-man made no attempt to conceal his thoughts, so the moment their eyes met, Qingling instantly understood what he was thinking.

Then her gaze turned icy cold in an instant, and a terrifying dragon's might swept over the male snake-man.

"Sixth-tier—Sixth-order—Dragon species!?"

Enveloped by the terrifying dragon's might, the male snake-man's face instantly turned deathly pale.

He retreated quickly and warily, shouting at Qingling with a fierce but weak voice, "Let me tell you! This is the territory of the Snake-People! I am one of the eight leaders of the Snake-People!"

"If you kill me, even if you're a sixth-tier magical beast, you definitely won't escape the snake-people's pursuit!"

Hearing the male snake-man's threat, Qingling's eyes grew even colder, and she was about to teach him a lesson.

Just then, an old figure suddenly blocked the male snake-man's path, shouting at him while calmly looking at Qingling.

"Southern Serpent, step back!"

"This guest, isn't it rather impolite of you to attack my people so casually?"

"Excuse me?"

Qingling seemed to have heard a funny joke, and at the same time realized that the idiot who had come to tease her was probably acting on someone else's orders to test her.

And the mastermind behind it all is undoubtedly related to this old man in front of us.

"Tsk, it seems Medusa isn't very good at managing her subordinates."

"You piece of trash, where do you get the nerve to test me?"

Qingling showed no politeness whatsoever to the old man in front of her, and bluntly pointed at him and began to hurl insults.

"Scraps?" Upon hearing Qingling's address, the old man's face instantly darkened.

He had lived for over two hundred years and held a high position in the Serpent People race. Even Queen Medusa had to show him respect. When had he ever been insulted like this?

So the next moment, his aura instantly became dangerous, and the fluctuations of the Dou Huang peak level Dou Qi surged and rolled within his body.

"You certainly have a lot of nerve!"

"I am an elder of the Snake-People race. By insulting me, you are insulting the Snake-People race. Do you wish to start a war with our race?"

The old man's voice was low and hoarse, and his deep-set vertical pupils stared intently at Qingling, like a venomous snake ready to strike at any moment.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Qingling snorted disdainfully and looked at him with utter contempt.

"Insulting the snake-people? You old codger think too highly of yourself!"

"Alright, stop beating around the bush. Tell me, what are you up to? How dare you send a mere Battle King to provoke me?"

Despite being exposed, the old man's expression remained unchanged. He simply tapped his snake-headed cane lightly on the ground and replied shamelessly.

"An abacus? I'm merely the caretaker of this library; why would I scheme against you?"

"But you, one of the eight chieftains of my tribe, Nanshe, has befriended you, yet you attack him. Are you planning to humiliate my tribe?"

"Don't think that just because you're a distinguished guest invited by the Queen, you can do whatever you want!"

"A mere sixth-tier magical beast? My snake-people race has killed them before, hasn't it? Even if we capture you, we still have the ability to let you help the queen evolve!"

Hearing this, Qingling understood the other party's plan.

It seems this old man is planning to take advantage of her for free, and even wants to keep her among the snake people.

Thinking of this, Qingling laughed in anger.

With a "snap," Qingling slammed the book shut.

Then, amidst the old man's arrogant and smug gaze, Qingling abruptly vanished from the spot.

The next instant, Qingling suddenly appeared in front of the old man and, to his shock, sent him flying with a single punch.

"What?!"

The old man's eyes rolled back in disbelief as he was struck, and he crashed through the tower's main gate, flying backward.

He never expected that he, a powerful expert at the peak of the Douhuang realm, would be so easily knocked away by a newly-entered sixth-tier magical beast with a single punch, without any power to resist. How could this be?

However, Qingling merely snorted disdainfully, glanced coldly at the old man lying on the ground, and said indifferently.

"Just as I said, you're nothing but trash."

"A trashy Dou Huang like you, who rose to power through resources, can't even compare to Medusa, let alone that old bastard Haibodong."

"You'd better just stay here and guard the gate. You actually dared to dream of imprisoning me? How utterly audacious!"

The old man felt a chill run down his spine when he was looked down at by Qingling's cold, dark golden vertical pupils.

But soon, his face flushed red, and he glared at Qingling with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

His eyes turned red, and a chilling killing intent surged uncontrollably from his chest.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you, you woman!"

The old man gritted his teeth and hissed.
