Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"Sigh, the timing is wrong..."

Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan, who was engrossed in cultivation not far away, and the storage ring in his hand that belonged to Zi Yan's father, and sighed.

Along the way, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had arranged such a full schedule for them that he didn't even have time to find an opportunity to continue studying the storage ring.

After the incident in the spatial passage, Xiao Fan has learned his lesson. He won't investigate unless the surrounding area is particularly safe. Otherwise, if he triggers some strange phenomena and attracts some old monsters, he'll have nowhere to turn to for help.

After all, this storage ring came from Zhukun. Xiao Fan believed that no matter what was revealed inside, it would definitely cause a major upheaval. After all, anything that could be stored in a nine-star Dou Sheng's storage ring must be extremely valuable!

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Fan put the crimson storage ring away again, and his breathing gradually became longer and more rhythmic with the rocking chair.

hum!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on having a daughter! The system is sending you a special blessing: Battle Qi +100, and the enlightenment of an eighth-grade alchemist!]

Swish!

Xiao Fan's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!

...........................

"Where is Her Majesty? How is Her Majesty?"

In the northwest of the Dou Qi Continent, within the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire, in the territory of the Snake-People Clan, auras at the Dou Huang level swirled around the Snake-People Clan's territory, their powerful auras constantly emanating and intimidating the surrounding magical beasts.

Squads of snake-people guards patrolled the territory, their auras equally sharp. Today, if anyone dared to offend the snake-people, the snake-people would fight them to the death!

Inside the forbidden area behind the Snake-People Clan, the expressions on the faces of several elders of the Snake-People Clan were extremely anxious. The Third Elder paced back and forth, looking around the clan's territory, but all of them were completely obscured by the figure of Flower Snake.

"Snake, why don't you go and check on Her Majesty the Queen!"

The Third Elder looked at Flower Snake, who stood unmoved in the forbidden area, and his expression became even more anxious. He said to Flower Snake, "With us old guys here, what are you worried about! We wouldn't possibly harm Her Majesty the Queen, would we?"

The Third Elder looked at the still hesitant Flower Snake, his expression turning increasingly exasperated, and his tone becoming more impatient: "Go quickly! Does Her Majesty the Queen have any experience? It would be good if you could go in and keep an eye on things!"

"Alright, third brother."

At this critical moment, the First Elder remained much calmer. He gently reprimanded the Third Elder before turning to Hua She'er and saying, "Go in and take care of Her Majesty the Queen. According to the rules, we cannot enter, but if anything happens after you go in, you can help Her Majesty the Queen. However, you can stay here and continue to guard the entrance to the forbidden area."

Whether it was because Flower Snake couldn't stand the Third Elder's nagging or because she had taken the First Elder's words to heart, Flower Snake gestured to the vice-captain behind her before stepping into the massive palace of the Snake-People's forbidden area.

Flower Snake entered the forbidden area, where strange patterns were painted everywhere on the huge palace walls.

The patterns depict a seven-colored giant python that seems to devour the sky, a ferocious giant snake that seems to have wings on its back, and a figure that is gradually transforming into a dragon, constantly shuttling through the clouds. Even the paintings on the wall seem to carry a strange energy that is captivating!

At this moment, however, Hua She'er's mind was not on these murals at all, and her figure quickly went into the depths of the palace.

As she approached the depths of the palace, the surrounding temperature dropped visibly, eventually settling at a slightly chilly but not uninhabitable level.

Flower Snake knew that this was because the Snake People were inherently cold-blooded, and this kind of environment was the most suitable temperature for them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to migrate to this Monster Mountain Range!

As she stepped in, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared in Hua She'er's sight within the icy pool ahead.

Chapter 152 Whose attention does the offspring attract?

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

Inside the palace room in front of Flower Snake, the floor and surrounding walls were all made of ice-blue bricks that emitted a strange energy. In the very center of the palace, there was a cold pool about three zhang in size, which contained rich energy.

Even before stepping inside, Flower Snake felt a sense of comfort simply from absorbing the energy emanating from it. The energy within her body stirred with a restless energy, immersing Flower Snake in it.

However, Hua She'er's mind was not on the energy at all. Looking at the beautiful figure in the cold pool, a look of worry appeared on her face.

In the icy pool, You Ruo stood with her back to Hua She'er, leaning against the edge. Her long, slender arms rested on the edge, her long, purple hair cascading down her back. Her long, delicate fingers gripped the bricks surrounding the pool tightly, veins bulging, and she groaned continuously...

"Um........."

You Ruo sensed Hua She'er's presence and replied softly, then said, "I'm fine, you can wait outside the hall."

Hearing You Ruo's voice, Hua She'er, though slightly tired, showed no sign of distress. She bowed her head in agreement and then respectfully withdrew from the main hall, waiting quietly at the door.

With the palace gates separating them, all the energy within was blocked, and Flower Snake could no longer sense any aura.

"You little rascal, you're really going to kill me..."

After Hua She'er left, You Ruo looked down at her protruding belly, a hint of helplessness on her face. She gently stroked her belly, then a warm and rare smile appeared on her face. Unfortunately, no one had ever seen You Ruo like this before…

As You Ruo felt the energy fluctuations emanating from her lower abdomen, a sense of panic rose in her heart once again.

After all, even though she was the Medusa Queen, who reigned supreme in the Gama Empire, this was her first time being a mother. She was unfamiliar with this unfamiliar territory, and now, with all the love she felt for the child in her womb, she was even more worried about what might happen.

"That Soul Fusion Blood Pill I took back then really wasn't a waste..."

Feeling the energy from the surrounding cold pool constantly gathering towards her abdomen, You Ruo smiled. Being able to absorb so much energy meant that her and Xiao Fan's child would definitely achieve great things in the future!

After all, You Ruo was very clear about the birth of the offspring of the Snake-People royal family. The time and energy spent in the womb determined the upper limit of the child's future.

That's why the elders of the Snake-People clan made a request to Xiao Fan, requiring him to prepare the seventh-grade pill, the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill.

As the energy from the surrounding icy pool was absorbed again by the fetus in her womb, a hint of tension rose on You Ruo's face once more. This was the reason she had been struggling for so long; it was as if the child in her womb had not yet reached energy saturation...

Finally, as the energy absorption was completed, You Ruo seemed to sense something and noticed the unusual movement in her abdomen. She leaned against the edge of the cold pool behind her and kept adjusting her breathing.

"boom!"

Just then, a thunderbolt suddenly appeared above the Gama Empire, and in an instant, it seemed as if some terrifying aura was about to appear.

"Oh no! I forgot about that!"

Within Xiao Fan's system space, the figure heavily sealed by chains suddenly let out a strange cry, emitting a series of mournful howls in this mysterious space!

"I'm so angry! Damn it, God, you're just jealous!"

After cursing for a while, the mysterious runes on the chains within the space once again emitted beams of light, seemingly trying to lock the person firmly inside again.

"Damn it, I've really lost out this time..."

With a wail, a golden energy broke through the chains before it could be sealed off, but it was immediately intercepted and shattered by the array formed by the chains, turning into streams of pure golden energy.

Fortunately, a wisp of energy managed to break through the seal and tear through space...

Within the Serpent Clan, as a sudden clap of thunder rang out, You Ruo in the icy pool felt the fetus in her womb begin to struggle. You Ruo's face was filled with doubt and worry.

Just then, a faint golden energy pierced through space and fell directly into You Ruo's abdomen. Immediately, the shape of a golden lotus flower appeared in her abdomen, and the restless fetus calmed down again.

Moreover, as this golden energy entered her body, You Ruo even sensed that her cultivation level seemed as fragile as paper, easily allowing her to break through...

"Mmm... Ah..."

But then, a sharp pain in her lower abdomen interrupted You Ruo's thoughts; the intense pain made her groan involuntarily...

"boom!"

Outside the Serpent Clan's forbidden area, a vast energy fluctuation erupted. The Grand Elder and others who were waiting outside the forbidden area immediately stepped forward with concern, but were then stopped by the Serpent Clan's guards.

"Oh dear, I'm so anxious!"

The Third Elder paced anxiously, but they couldn't go in right now. He could only turn his gaze to Yue Mei and say, "Yue Mei, why don't you go in and check again? Hua She'er hasn't sent any news since she went in..."

Upon hearing this, Yue Mei's gaze fell upon the forbidden area. She was equally worried about Her Majesty the Queen. After agreeing, she walked towards the forbidden area.

The snake-men of the Queen's Guard naturally knew that none of the people here would harm the Queen. It was only out of respect for the Queen's dignity that they were kept outside. Yue Mei, being a woman herself, did not have so many restrictions.

After Yue Mei entered, she had just passed through the narrow corridor when she saw Hua She'er waiting outside the palace gate. A look of surprise appeared on Yue Mei's face, and she frowned slightly as she asked Hua She'er, "Hua She'er, didn't I tell you to go in and obey Her Majesty the Queen's orders? Why are you standing at the door?"

When Hua She'er saw Yue Mei, a hint of helplessness appeared on her face. She said to Yue Mei, "I went in just now. Her Majesty the Queen seemed fine except for being a little tired, so she told me to wait here."

Upon hearing this, Yue Mei nodded, recalling the energy fluctuations that had just erupted, and said with some worry, "The energy fluctuations just now were all caused by the Queen... I don't know what happened..."

Upon hearing this, Flower Snake nodded in agreement. After all, such a strange thing had never happened in the records of the Snake-People. None of the previous Medusa Queens had ever had children for such a long period of time as You Ruo...

"You two, come in."

"crunch~"

Just as Yue Mei and Hua She'er were worried and hesitating about whether to enter the palace, a slightly tired, cold voice suddenly rang in their ears, and then the tightly closed door suddenly opened.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

Upon hearing You Ruo's voice, the two women showed concern on their faces and hurriedly entered the palace, looking ahead.

Looking at the scene before them, Yue Mei and Hua She'er felt as if they were under an illusion. The usually dignified and aloof Queen now had her hair casually draped behind her, a gentle smile on her face, and her long, narrow purple eyes now exuding charm. A warm smile played on her lips as she playfully teased a fetus in her arms…

The two exchanged a glance, feeling as if the majestic Queen they once knew was gone forever...

"I'm fine now. You go and inform the tribe to lift the alert."

You Ruo glanced at Yue Mei and Hua She'er, spoke, and then ignored them, continuing to look down at the delicate baby in her arms with a gentle smile on her face.

This was the first time Yue Mei and Hua She'er had seen Her Majesty the Queen like this. Before they could recover, they nodded subconsciously upon hearing You Ruo's words and then walked out of the palace.

As the two stepped out of the main hall, a cold wind blew, and they realized what was happening. They glanced back at the tightly closed door, but wisely didn't look back and walked straight out of the hall.

However, Yue Mei and Hua She'er exchanged a tacit glance. They would never reveal what they had just seen in the main hall. The Queen's majesty would be protected by them!

"How about it!"

Outside the forbidden area, the elder and others, who had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Yue Mei and Hua She'er, immediately approached and asked questions out of curiosity.

"No problem."

Yue Mei gave a curt reply and then fell silent.

"That's it... that's all?"

The Third Elder was still waiting to hear what was to come, but when he saw Yue Mei had already walked to the side, the expectant expression on his face froze, and then he turned his gaze to Hua She'er.

"........."
