Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 205

Normally, when the Snake-People Queen is not around, the elders are responsible for negotiating and leading the tribe. Sometimes, even the Snake-People Queen has to take their existence into consideration.

On the one hand, it's not just because of their identity, but also because of their status and position. They are the true elders of the snake people. Whether human or snake people, they have a natural respect for their elders.

At this moment, in the temple where the clan elders were, everyone was arguing heatedly, their faces flushed, and from time to time, one could hear some people cursing loudly.

Inside the main hall, several lamps burning with eerie blue flames were placed on the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire hall, but the strange color added to the eerie atmosphere.

There was only one large table in the main hall, with several chairs around it. At this moment, four snake-men with white hair and beards were sitting on the chairs, their eyes blazing with fury as they argued incessantly.

With a calm expression, You Ruo and Xiao Fan sat opposite the four snake-people elders.

Xiao Fan looked at the four snake-human elders opposite him with curiosity. The four elders were all at the peak of the Dou Huang level, and Xiao Fan felt increasingly uncertain.

"If they team up against me later, I wonder if Youruo will protect me..."

Fortunately, the situation that Xiao Fan was worried about did not happen.

Aside from the initial pressure exerted by the four elders when they first entered, which Xiao Fan resisted, the four elders reached a preliminary agreement with him.

After all, You Ruo had already told them about Xiao Fan's situation. At such a young age, he already possessed the strength of a Dou Huang, and was also a esteemed sixth-grade alchemist. This was enough to make the elders take Xiao Fan seriously. Moreover, what shocked them the most was that in just two years, the Queen not only broke through to the Dou Zong realm, but also, with the other party's help, directly broke through to the three-star Dou Zong realm.

With these two conditions met, they had almost no objections to Xiao Fan. The reason they were arguing now was due to other reasons.

"Bang! Enough!"

Seeing the four elders arguing heatedly, You Ruo felt that the Snake-People had already disgraced the Gama Empire. She slammed her hand on the table, interrupting the elders' argument and drawing their attention.

"Elders, please tell me, regarding... Xiao Fan and me, do you agree or disagree?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing You Ruo's words, the Grand Elder, who was sitting in the middle, immediately turned pale and stood up.

"You bastard, who dares to disagree with your relationship with Xiao Xiao?"

"That's right!"

The Second Elder, who was sitting next to the First Elder, also stood up, looking at Xiao Fan with a fawning expression, and said with a smile, "I think you and our Queen are the most suitable match. Why don't you just get married?"

Just as the Third Elder was looking for an opportunity to interject, he heard the Second Elder's words and quickly stood up, saying, "Second Elder is right. I think the wedding should take place immediately. Let me check the auspicious date nearby..."

You Ruo stared at the four elders with a dark expression. So, she, the Queen, was just a figurehead?

Did you just give yourself away so easily?

The four elders were indeed thinking the same thing: they had to quickly latch onto Xiao Fan's coattails. In just two years, he had propelled their Queen to the level of a three-star Dou Zong and a sixth-grade alchemist. With such a son-in-law, even if You Ruo didn't ask, the four elders could easily send her over. What, they couldn't beat You Ruo? No problem then.

The reason the four elders were arguing earlier was because of Xiao Fan's status as a sixth-grade alchemist. They were arguing about what kind of pills they should prepare for their children in the future. Of course, they were also arguing on purpose so that Xiao Fan could hear them and understand the effects of these pills.

After all, given their connections, only Xiao Fan had the opportunity to refine such a pill. Moreover, this was also the future offspring of You Ruo and Xiao Fan, and it concerned the future of the Snake-People race, so they naturally had to make plans in advance.

Although You Ruo is not pregnant yet, they still need to prepare everything in advance.

In fact, besides what they said openly, the four elders were also communicating secretly, a classic case of feigning one thing while doing another.

The First Elder transmitted his voice: "This kid is so young and he's already a sixth-grade alchemist. His future is limitless. We can't let him get away."

The Second Elder transmitted his voice: "That's right. Moreover, in the future, even the pills for their offspring can be directly handed over to him to refine. The alchemists we used to hire were really a rip-off. Just the materials we had to use to refine pills were heartbreaking."

The Third Elder transmitted his voice: "That's right. Not only that, but I also think it would be even better if he left more offspring in the clan. Whether they inherit his talent for cultivation or alchemy, it would be excellent. At the very least, with offspring here, how could he not be attentive?"

Fourth Elder: "That's right. You all know You Ruo's personality. Sooner or later she'll scare people away. I think Yue Mei and Hua She'er are quite good. They're talented and good-looking. Let's find an opportunity to secretly give them to Xiao Xiao."

After the Fourth Elder finished speaking, he noticed that the hall had suddenly fallen silent. He raised his head and saw that everyone was staring at him. He looked at the other three elders with a puzzled expression, then turned his head and saw the anger in You Ruo's eyes. He asked in confusion, "You Ruo, what's wrong?"

Youruo was speechless.

Grand Elder: ......

Second Elder: ......

Xiao Fan: ......

Third Elder: "You idiot, you didn't use telepathy..."

Fourth Elder: "..."

"Hmm...can we pretend we didn't hear that?"

You Ruo glared angrily at the four elders. She had thought they were arguing about something important, but it turned out they were up to something else.

"So this is how the four elders perceive me!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt that even the temperature in the main hall dropped a few degrees.

At this moment, Xiao Fan remained silent, keeping his nose down and his mind at ease.

Just kidding, You Ruo is clearly angry right now, and if I were to speak up, I would obviously attract attention.

Having spent so much time with You Ruo, Xiao Fan wasn't stupid. He knew when to speak and when not to.

However, he never expected that the four elders would have such a plan, actually intending to send both Hua She'er and Yue Mei to him? This didn't seem like something they would do.

However, speaking of Hua She'er and Yue Mei, both of them do indeed have extremely hot figures, especially Yue Mei, whose allure can bewitch one's soul. Among all the people Xiao Fan has met so far, Yue Mei is the most charming. Xiao Yi Xian is calm and pure, Yun Yun is graceful but reveals shyness, and You Ruo is noble and aloof. Each has her own unique charm...

"Do you want Yue Mei and Hua She'er...?"

Just as Xiao Fan was pondering, a gentle voice sounded in his ear, and the warm breath blowing past Xiao Fan's ear instantly pulled him back to reality.

"What the hell are you thinking?!"

Xiao Fan was startled. Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise he probably would have been slapped away.

You Ruo glared at Xiao Fan, then slammed her hand on the table and said to the four elders, "Since you have no objections, then let's leave it at that. As for the pill issue you mentioned..." You Ruo turned to look at Xiao Fan.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. I'll definitely give our children the best."

Hearing Xiao Fan's assurance, You Ruo nodded in satisfaction, then stood up and said softly to the four elders, "Since everything is alright, elders, please don't do anything you shouldn't."

Upon hearing You Ruo's pointed words, the four elders nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

You Ruo nodded in satisfaction, and then left with Xiao Fan.

"See? I told you this girl has a really bad temper; she'd get someone into trouble sooner or later..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Fourth Elder was knocked under the table by an unknown energy.

"Four elders, you should go back and rest early..."

In the distance, You Ruo's voice could be faintly heard. The three elders were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Chapter 300 The Queen's Criteria for Choosing a Mate

After leaving the temple behind, Xiao Fan and You Ruo walked towards the main hall of the Holy City.

Hua She'er had been waiting outside the temple. When she saw Xiao Fan and You Ruo come out, she approached them expressionlessly.

“Your Majesty, all eight leaders have now gathered in the Holy City. I have instructed them to wait.”

Upon hearing Hua She'er's words, You Ruo nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Let's go, let's go see them now."

Inside the hall, the eight leaders were seated in their respective chairs, awaiting Her Majesty the Queen's summons.

Flame Thorn, who had a rather fiery temper, was already showing some impatience. He paced back and forth in the hall, looking around anxiously.

"Alright, Flame Thorn, can you please stop hanging around in front of me all the time?"

Mobas, somewhat annoyed by the swaying of the Flame Spikes, frowned and spoke impatiently.

"So what if I want to fight? You want to have a go?"

Upon hearing Mobas's words, Yanci immediately retorted, his impatience from waiting here finding an outlet as he lashed out at Mobas.

"Let's compete then! Who's afraid of you!"

Mobas wasn't afraid of him. Among the snake people, the strong were respected, and there were countless examples of people fighting over a single disagreement.

"stop!"

Just as the two were about to make a move, Yin Shi, who had been sitting in his seat, spoke up. At the same time, several figures entered the hall from behind.

"Heh, Flame Thorn, Mobas, you dare to make a move here? It seems you've grown quite bold."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, one of the leaders showed a look of surprise and stood up from his chair.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

You Ruo and the others also came out at this moment.

You Ruo sat in the seat above, looking indifferently at the eight leaders below, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Hua She'er naturally stood next to You Ruo. Only Xiao Fan glanced at You Ruo sitting on the throne above, then at the group of snake-people leaders below, scratched his head, and sat down on the steps next to him.

"presumptuous!"

When Mobas saw Xiao Fan, who had come out with You Ruo, sitting there without any regard for his image, he couldn't help but scold, "Human, who allowed you to set foot in my Snake-Human Clan's Holy City? Get over here right now and kneel down to apologize!"

Hearing Mobas's words, even Flower Snake couldn't help but look over. "I know you're not smart, but this isn't just being brainless, it's downright stupid!"

Could it be that they can't tell this was brought back by Her Majesty the Queen? Even if someone is clueless, they wouldn't be this stupid.

Upon hearing Mobas's words, You Ruo exuded a chilling aura. She glanced at Mobas indifferently, and her powerful aura directly crushed towards him.

"He was brought by me, do you have a problem with that?"

Mobas resisted the oppressive aura emanating from You Ruo, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, but it was all in vain. He was then forced to the ground by the pressure.

Unable to speak, Mobas could only signal to You Ruo with his eyes that he knew he was wrong.
