Chapitre 21: Chapter 21: Is the Queen about to wake up?
Jiang Xing didn't expect that fusing the strange fire would take so long. After sighing, he checked Qing Lin's cultivation level.
Then he patted Qing Lin's head and praised, "Well done! You've already broken through to the Fighter level."
During the month that Jiang Xing was in seclusion, Qing Lin had managed to break through to the Fighter level with the help of the foundation-building spiritual liquid. Now, she had reached the level of a two-star Fighter.
Qing Lin was thrilled by Jiang Xing's praise and instantly felt full of confidence and motivation to continue cultivating.
"Oh, by the way, you haven't chosen any techniques after breaking through to the Fighter level, have you?" Jiang Xing asked.
"No, sir," Qing Lin replied.
The reason Jiang Xing asked was because he had just thought of the Heavenly Snake Mansion.
The Heavenly Snake Mansion was located in the Heavenly Snake Empire, in the central area of the northwestern continent. In the original novel, they were the ones who discovered Qing Lin's Three-Flowered Green Snake Pupils and sent two Dou Huangs, Lu Man and Bai Ya, to take her away.
The Heavenly Snake Mansion had the most knowledge about the research and cultivation of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils. They had a unique martial arts technique passed down from the ancient Heavenly Snake, which was also the most powerful technique in the Heavenly Snake Mansion. Practicing it could help Qing Lin advance more quickly.
However, Jiang Xing did not want to send Qing Lin to the Heavenly Snake Mansion for training because he felt uneasy about her being trained by anyone other than himself.
So, he planned to have Ji Feng directly steal the cultivation method of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils from the Heavenly Snake Mansion. That way, they could just ask the Heavenly Snake Mansion to send someone to guide Qing Lin, without having to send her there.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xing said, "Alright, I'll give you a set of techniques suitable for you in a few days."
"Really? Thank you, young master!" Qing Lin was overjoyed.
After parting with Qing Lin, Jiang Xing went to the residence of the Great Elder and knocked on the door.
When the Great Elder opened the door and saw Jiang Xing, he was delighted.
"Sir, you've come out of seclusion!"
Jiang Xing couldn't understand why the Great Elder had such an expression when he saw him, but he didn't dwell on it.
Jiang Xing nodded and asked, "Yes, I have. Has the Queen woken up during my retreat?"
"I followed your instructions and gave the Queen a bottle every two days, but five days ago, the Queen seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and hasn't woken up since."
The Great Elder's words, mentioning both the Queen and her true form, immediately made Jiang Xing feel dizzy.
"Wait a minute...what are you saying?"
"The Queen hasn't woken up, and the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python fell asleep five days ago?"
Realizing that his words were a bit confusing, the Great Elder organized his thoughts before speaking again.
At the same time, he took out the little colorful snake and showed it to Jiang Xing.
"The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python has fallen asleep?"
Jiang Xing took the little colorful snake, shook it, and poked it, but the snake didn't respond.
The Great Elder, with some concern, asked, "Sir, is the Queen alright? Could it be that she..."
Jiang Xing reassured him, "I don't think so. I'll take it back and have a look. I'll let you know if there's any change."
Jiang Xing didn't know why the little colorful snake was asleep, but he suspected that it might be a sign that Medusa was about to wake up.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, sir."
The Great Elder naturally wouldn't refuse. Even with the Queen in her care, she couldn't wake her up, but Jiang Xing might have a way.
Just as Jiang Xing was about to leave, the Great Elder suddenly called out, "Sir!"
Jiang Xing turned around, looking at the Great Elder with some confusion.
The Great Elder had heard that the Jia Ma Royal Family and the Yun Lan Sect had joined forces to prepare for an attack, so she wanted to ask Jiang Xing for help. But considering how much Jiang Xing had already done for the Snake People, she felt a little embarrassed to ask.
"Sir, after we killed Jia Xingtian and Yun Yun, the Jia Ma Royal Family and the Yun Lan Sect have been making moves. I suspect they are planning to attack the Snake People, and with the Queen still not awake..."
With the Queen still asleep, the Snake People would be in danger without Jiang Xing's help. For the sake of her people, the Great Elder had to swallow her pride and ask for his assistance.
"It's alright, don't worry. I'll have Ji Feng take action when the time comes," Jiang Xing replied.
Jiang Xing wasn't surprised to hear that the Jia Ma Royal Family was planning to attack the Snake People. After killing Yun Yun and Jia Xingtian, he had anticipated this day would come.
Yun Yun was the leader of the Yun Lan Sect, and Jia Xingtian was the guardian of the Jia Ma Royal Family, as well as Yao Ye's great-grandfather. It would be strange if they didn't retaliate.
The Great Elder was overjoyed to hear that Jiang Xing would send Ji Feng to help them. She knelt down and said, "Thank you, sir!"
After leaving the Great Elder's residence, Jiang Xing found Ji Feng and instructed him to go to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to take care of Qing Lin's matter.
He remembered that the leader of the Heavenly Snake Mansion was at the Dou Zong level, but he wasn't sure how many stars the leader had. However, it didn't matter. Even if the leader was a nine-star Dou Zong, Ji Feng could easily handle him.
After giving instructions to Ji Feng, Jiang Xing headed towards Zi Yan's residence.
After bringing Zi Yan back, Jiang Xing had only given her a bottle of elixir before going into seclusion to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame. He wondered how Zi Yan was doing now.
However, when he arrived at Zi Yan's residence, he didn't find her and was puzzled about where she had gone.
At that moment, Qing Lin came out of the neighboring room and, seeing Jiang Xing, called out in surprise, "Young Master!"
Jiang Xing looked over and saw Qing Lin. He then asked, "Qing Lin, where is Zi Yan?"
When Qing Lin heard Jiang Xing asking about Zi Yan, she replied in confusion, "Sister Zi Yan? Didn't she go to find you, Young Master?"
"???"
Jiang Xing was speechless. He had gone to the Great Elder's residence and found nothing there.
Just as he was about to turn back to search for Zi Yan, he saw her running towards him, shouting, "Jiang Xing! Jiang Xing!"
Unlike Qing Lin, Zi Yan had accidentally eaten a transformation herb when she was young, causing her to always retain her loli appearance.
Zi Yan came up to him and said unhappily, "Jiang Xing, you lied to me!"
Jiang Xing looked at Zi Yan and found it a little amusing. He asked, "Oh? How did I lie to you?"
"You said you would take me to find my people, but instead, you went into seclusion!"
Zi Yan pointed at Jiang Xing angrily, but her small stature made her posture look a bit funny.
Jiang Xing chuckled and said, "Didn't I also say that I would take you after I finished my business?"
Zi Yan thought back and realized that Jiang Xing had indeed said that.
"Are you done now?" she asked.
Jiang Xing looked at the little loli Zi Yan and suddenly felt like teasing her.
Jiang Xing: "No!"
Zi Yan: "???"
Seeing Zi Yan's face turn red with anger, Jiang Xing finally relented.
"Haha, I was just kidding. Don't worry, it will be done soon. I'll definitely take you to meet your people when the time comes."
Zi Yan was still furious and continued to ignore Jiang Xing.
