Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Hua She'er glanced at Yue Mei in the distance, then at the crowd that had surrounded her, and said, "Her Majesty the Queen is unharmed and has successfully given birth to a... heir..."

Halfway through the conversation, Flower Snake realized that neither she nor Moon Beauty seemed to know whether Her Majesty the Queen had actually given birth to a princess...

Although most of the offspring of the snake-people royal family throughout history have been female, Flower Snake dared not speak carelessly, and could only say that she had successfully given birth to a child...

Chapter 153 A gentleman is magnanimous

While the elders were questioning Hua She'er, a vast energy pressure emanated from within the forbidden area. You Ruo leaned back against the cold pool, her gaze fixed on the direction from which the pressure came. A pale purple snake-shaped phantom hovered in mid-air. Judging from its appearance, it was none other than the soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python that had been born during the time You Ruo lost consciousness.

"I never expected you to stay under these circumstances..."

You Ruo looked at the familiar appearance of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, her gaze falling on the nascent figure below, a hint of nostalgia on her face.

"However, as a companion beast soul, your talent as the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python must surpass mine..."

You Ruo spoke slowly, her face showing a gentle tranquility that no outsider had ever seen. She carefully picked up the creature, and the phantom of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python disappeared, returning the entire forbidden area to silence once more.

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

In Zhongzhou, within the city of Mingzhu.

Xiao Fan, who had been lying on the chair with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing the system's voice. A look of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his fighting spirit surged.

The once tranquil courtyard seemed to be imprisoned under Xiao Fan's terrifying energy pressure, and the space itself seemed to freeze.

"Shhh!!"

Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, who were originally cultivating with their eyes closed, were also disturbed by Xiao Fan's out-of-control aura and suddenly woke up. They looked at each other and assumed that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had found their way here. They immediately became vigilant, looked at Xiao Fan, and prepared for battle.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Yan and Zi Yan looked at Xiao Fan, they found that Xiao Fan's expression was extremely excited.

As Xiao Fan's junior brother, Xiao Yan had known Xiao Fan for many years, but he had never seen such an excited expression on Xiao Fan's face before. Besides worry, Xiao Fan's face also showed a bit of curiosity.

Xiao Yan wanted to know what had happened to elicit such a strong reaction from Xiao Fan.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Not noticing the presence of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan both showed a hint of doubt on their foreheads. However, seeing Xiao Fan's obviously unusual mood, their hearts also tightened.

Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Xiao Fan finally came to his senses.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was still somewhat incredulous. He did not answer Xiao Yan's question, but instead kept asking the system in his mind.

"I...I...I'm really pregnant!?"

"You...You Ruo gave birth?"

Xiao Fan was both excited and bewildered. After all, he had lived two lives and had never been a father. Although he had been prepared for this, he was still surprised to learn that he was pregnant.

In this unfamiliar world, Xiao Fan felt the bond between bloodlines for the first time.

After all, that's his own child!

[Ding! That's right, this system has delivered a congratulatory gift. Please check it, host!]

As the system's voice rang in Xiao Fan's ears again, Xiao Fan finally realized that he was not dreaming, but really had his own child!

"boom!"

Overwhelmed with excitement and joy, Xiao Fan's fighting spirit surged even more. He instantly absorbed the system's congratulatory gift of 100 fighting spirit points and the insights gained from becoming an eighth-grade alchemist.

Xiao Fan's aura continued to rise, and his original one-star Dou Zun realm quickly broke through the bottleneck and entered the two-star Dou Zun realm.

Sensing the ever-increasing aura emanating from Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, despite having been mentally prepared and experienced, were still somewhat shocked by Xiao Fan's sudden leap in cultivation.

After exchanging glances, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan decided not to disturb Xiao Fan at this moment. Although they knew Xiao Fan didn't need to, the two silently guarded the courtyard to protect him.

Feeling Xiao Fan's ever-increasing aura in the courtyard, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of dejection.

"Compared to my senior brother, how can I be considered a genius...?"

Xiao Yan recalled the days when he and Xiao Fan fought and cultivated together in Wutan City, and then thought about the increasingly distant distance between them now. Xiao Yan felt more and more anxious.

"We absolutely cannot let our senior brothers fall too far behind!"

Seeing Xiao Fan breaking through, Xiao Yan secretly made up his mind. Thinking that he was only at the Dou Zong realm and was already complacent, the pride that had risen in Xiao Yan's heart after meeting Lin Yan and the others was once again worn away, and his determination to cultivate became more and more persistent.

"boom!"

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, it didn't take too long for Xiao Fan to successfully break through to the two-star Dou Zun realm. Moreover, unbeknownst to the two of them, Xiao Fan's alchemy skills had already reached the level of an eighth-grade alchemist.

An eighth-grade alchemist is a top-tier figure even in the entire Dou Qi Continent. No force would easily provoke such a person and would generally give them some respect.

"Brother!"

After Xiao Fan completed his breakthrough, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan came over and looked him up and down.

Seeing that others couldn't break through to the Dou Zun realm even after decades, while Xiao Fan broke through as easily as drinking water, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan had to admit that even though they were already used to it, a trace of envy and jealousy still inevitably rose in their hearts.

"Senior brother, what was that just now...?"

After exchanging a glance, Xiao Yan took the initiative to ask Xiao Fan a question.

After all, the reason he and Zi Yan were awakened was because of the violent aura emanating from Xiao Fan at that moment, which made them think that the people of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had attacked.

Xiao Yan and Zi Yan both knew Xiao Fan's personality. Even if he broke through to the two-star Dou Zun level, he wouldn't be so excited, which is why Xiao Yan was so concerned.

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

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Xiao Fan didn't hesitate. His expression instantly brightened, and he couldn't hide his smile, grinning widely.

"If I'm not mistaken, your sister-in-law should have given birth!"

Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan with a joyful expression.

"Sister-in-law...has given birth?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of surprise, which quickly turned into a smile as he looked at Xiao Fan and asked, "Senior Brother, really!?"

Xiao Yan recalled how his sister-in-law You Ruo had taken care of the Xiao family back then. If it weren't for her, the Xiao family would probably have suffered a heavy blow when they first provoked the Yunlan Sect.

Hearing that Xiao Fan and You Ruo's child had been successfully born, Xiao Yan was genuinely happy for Xiao Fan.

"Hehe, it seems I'd better prepare a gift for my nephew soon!"

Xiao Yan chuckled, then a gossipy look appeared on his face as he looked at Xiao Fan and continued, "Senior brother, did your wife give birth to a boy or a girl? What kind of gift do you think I should prepare for her?"

"Alright, alright, I only vaguely sensed the aura, and I still can't be sure whether it's male or female."

Xiao Fan grinned and pushed her away, but suddenly found Zi Yan leaning close to him again.

"Sister Youruo had a baby?"

Zi Yan listened to Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan's conversation and a look of joy appeared on her face. She said to Xiao Fan, "Xiao Fan, when we go back next time, will we be able to see your child?"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Fan's smile froze. He looked towards the northwest, took a deep breath, and then nodded firmly.

"That's right, but I won't delay this day for long!"

Xiao Fan's gaze was like lightning, a hint of dark flame flashing in his eyes, and his aura grew increasingly cold.

Previously, Xiao Fan felt no pressure because he was familiar with the plot and had been taking Xiao Yan with him to train him. Now that he has discovered that You Ruo and his child have been born, Xiao Fan's biggest wish is to return to the Jia Ma Empire as soon as possible and see You Ruo and the child with his own eyes.

Therefore, Xiao Fan did not want to delay the progress of Zhongzhou any longer.

"It'll be soon. Once we rescue the teacher, we can build a spatial wormhole within the Starfall Pavilion. That will make returning to the Gama Empire much easier..."

Xiao Fan's expression turned solemn. He then glanced at Xiao Yan and Zi Yan before speaking, "Let's go. There's no point in lingering in Pearl City any longer. Given the strength of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, they probably won't let us use the spatial wormhole in Pearl City easily. They already know our destination. If we want to go to Saint Pill City, there will likely be an ambush by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan along the way."

Now that he had completely broken ties with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, Xiao Fan no longer held back.

Lei Zunhe's previous actions and the last time the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan acted made Xiao Fan realize that the execution team sent by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was probably not as terrifying as he had imagined. Otherwise, after the last time they killed members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, they would definitely be furious now, and if they really wanted to establish their authority, they would definitely send out real powerhouses.

However, based on the information he has obtained so far, Xiao Fan believes that with his current strength, he is naturally able to handle it.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zi Yan and Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

The two now understood that the accident that occurred during their teleportation to Saint Pill City and their arrival in Pearl City was probably just an excuse made by the other party due to the power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's experts have appeared as soon as they entered Pearl City?

However, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan could understand this situation, but their killing intent towards the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan intensified even more.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan followed behind Xiao Fan and flew straight towards the outside of Pearl City without any attempt to conceal their intentions.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan even allowed Zi Yan and Xiao Yan to openly display their auras.

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

"Oh? It appeared on its own initiative?"

Inside the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's stronghold, the masked youth, upon hearing the report, showed a hint of surprise, then spoke in an icy tone: "How little respect does he have for my Heavenly Phoenix Clan? In that case, let me personally twist his head off. He's just a native who recently broke through to the Dou Zun realm; prolonged arrogance will cost him his life..."

Chapter 154 Fight

Outside Mingzhu City.

Xiao Fan, carrying Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, swaggered towards the direction of Saint Pill City. The three of them did not fly too fast, which was the result of Xiao Fan's deliberate control.

After all, the reason for their high profile was to lure out the enemies sent by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to capture them.

Swish!

Although Xiao Fan and his companions had deliberately controlled their speed, ordinary people still couldn't track their movements. After all, their current strength was no longer something that could be easily manipulated.

"Senior brother, do you think the people from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will follow us out?"

Xiao Yan followed behind Xiao Fan, turned around to look at the still-moving space behind him, and asked Xiao Fan curiously.

After all, their actions were so obvious and deliberate. Anyone with half a brain would know they intentionally revealed their presence, and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan might even become more wary because of it...
