Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 308

After swallowing the pill handed to him by Xiao Fan, a surge of fire-attribute energy erupted from Xiao Yan's body and was immediately absorbed by his already "thirsty" body.

Xiao Fan sat to the side, observing Xiao Yan's aura, and nodded to himself. Along the way, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi had been suppressed, and he had relied on his physical strength to sustain so much, which had raised Xiao Yan's physique to a new level. Moreover, the constant roasting of the Heart Fire had made Xiao Yan's original Dou Qi even more solid.

If it weren't for the fact that the Heart Flame condensed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, Xiao Yan should have already broken through to the four-star Dou Huang level. However, due to Xiao Fan's intentional suppression, Xiao Yan's breakthrough has been delayed until now.

However, with the improvement in both his fighting spirit and physique, Xiao Yan's strength has increased significantly compared to before.

As Xiao Fan sensed the surging Dou Qi vortex surrounding Xiao Yan, he waved his hand, shattering the jade bottle in his hand and causing more than ten blood-red pills to explode. The dense fire-attribute energy instantly filled the area, enveloping Xiao Yan within it.

Soon, Xiao Yan absorbed all the energy in the air, and his strength advanced to the four-star Dou Huang level.

"Alright, let's go. Ordinary training methods are no longer useful for you. Let's figure out a way to subdue that Turtle Spirit Earth Fire first."

Seeing the excited Xiao Yan, Xiao Fan kicked the Xuan Heavy Ruler at his feet to Xiao Yan, then glanced reluctantly at the palace by the roadside. Xiao Yan stroked his chin, then took out a scroll of low-level Xuan-rank fighting techniques from his storage ring, threw it into the dragon head, and laughed, "Tsk tsk, let's see if there's anyone destined to be here."

Seeing Xiao Fan's wicked sense of humor, Xiao Yan looked helpless and then followed behind Xiao Fan, speeding towards the Monster Mountain Range.

The palace that remained on the spot did indeed become a target of contention among the local mercenaries, though Xiao Fan and his companions were unaware of this...

Deep within the Monster Mountain Range, the Serpent People had long since transformed the area into a habitable place for them. They maintained a peaceful coexistence with the Amethyst Winged Lion King on the other side, and sometimes even exchanged greetings.

Outside the snake-people territory, a series of explosive roars rang out. The patrolling snake-people were already used to such sounds. Let those two little guys play by themselves.

"Come again."

A somewhat immature boy's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of defiance. "This time, I'm sure I can beat you."

"Forget it, with your current level, it's a long way off before you can even meet me."

When Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan arrived, they happened to see Kai Jin attacking Zi Yan. However, every time Kai Jin launched an attack, Zi Yan blocked it and then violently punched him, knocking him back and embedding him into the ground.

"Hey, Ziyan, long time no see!"

Xiao Fan revealed himself and greeted the chubby Zi Yan on the other side. He didn't expect that Zi Yan had already broken through the peak of Dou Wang and reached the Dou Huang realm.

This caused Xiao Fan to feel a pang of regret. After all, when Zi Yan broke through to the Dou Huang realm, she briefly transformed into a mature woman. It was just a pity that she had not yet fully digested the power of the Transformation Grass and had turned back into a child.

When Zi Yan saw Xiao Fan appear, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Then, after confirming that she was not hallucinating, she suddenly roared and charged directly at Xiao Fan.

"Aaaaaah, Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, you bastard!"

As Zi Yan cried out, she vanished abruptly and mysteriously, only to reappear abruptly emerging from the void in front of Xiao Fan. Her delicate pink fist slammed down towards Xiao Fan's chest, causing even the surrounding space to ripple slightly.

Seeing Zi Yan's state, Xiao Fan guiltily touched his nose, then pointed his finger, and battle qi appeared in front of him, blocking Zi Yan's fist. Just as Xiao Fan was about to speak, he suddenly realized that Zi Yan's fist was unstoppable, directly smashing the barrier that Xiao Fan had set up, and came down again.

"Um... I can only say it truly lives up to its reputation as the Ancient Dragon of the Void..."

Xiao Fan looked at the shattered barrier. Although he had only set it up casually, the fact that Zi Yan could shatter it with a single punch was enough to prove how terrifying her strength was.

Left with no other choice, Xiao Fan extended his fist and made contact with Zi Yan's small fist. Immediately, a fierce force came from Zi Yan's fist, making Xiao Fan's heart skip a beat.

There aren't many people who can withstand Zi Yan's physical strength...

Chapter 8 Seventh-Grade Pill, Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill

On the way to the Snake-People tribe, Zi Yan chewed on the pills Xiao Fan had given her as compensation, walking ahead with her head held high. Kai Jin followed behind Zi Yan, leading the two of them towards the Snake-People tribe.

Upon seeing his savior, Kai Jin initially approached Xiao Fan to express his gratitude. However, under Zi Yan's threatening gaze, Kai Jin could only hang his head and let Zi Yan ride on his back, temporarily abandoning his plan to speak with Xiao Fan.

After all, Sister Ziyan's punches really hurt. The crystals on their Amethyst Winged Lion King were completely useless in front of Ziyan's punches.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance. Seeing the furious Zi Yan, they both shrugged and didn't dare to say anything. Xiao Fan, in particular, was the one who spoke to Elder Su Qian before, which reassured Elder Su Qian that Zi Yan was entrusted to him.

As a result, she was separated from him halfway back. First, she rushed back to the Jia Ma Empire with Xiao Yan, and then Xiao Fan threw her to You Ruo. No wonder Zi Yan was so angry.

Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan sitting on Kai Jin's back, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Fortunately, Zi Yan was just a child at heart, so she didn't hold a grudge. A little medicine was all it took to coax her back.

"Ziyan, how have you been feeling spending time with your sister Youruo these past few days?"

Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan and asked her about You Ruo's condition. With the strength of a three-star Dou Zong, Xiao Fan was not worried about You Ruo getting hurt or anything. Xiao Fan just wanted to know how You Ruo was feeling. After all, he had been away from the Chu Yun Empire for so long, and it was thanks to You Ruo that the troubles within the Jia Ma Empire were successfully resolved.

"Sister You Ruo is so good to me. The elders of the Snake People are also very good to me. But after returning from the last battle, Sister You Ruo hasn't come out."

Zi Yan held the bottle in her hand, took out a pill that would make any outsider envious, tossed it high into the air like a medicinal pill, and then accurately put it into her mouth. After chewing it, she continued, "I went to see her, but it seems she was taking care of her little sister in her belly..."

"Oh, I see. Then...?"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Fan smiled slightly, but then seemed to think he had misheard, and stood frozen in place, his expression stiff.

"Come on, why aren't you moving?"

Zi Yan heard the sudden silence behind her and turned around in surprise. She saw Xiao Fan standing there with Xiao Yan standing behind him. A hint of curiosity appeared on her face, and she urged, "Hurry up, Xiao Fan, aren't you going to see Sister You Ruo?"

Swish!

Zi Yan's voice pulled Xiao Fan back to reality. At this moment, all he could think about were Zi Yan's words. Excitedly, he stood on Kai Jin's back, rubbed Zi Yan's head, and then asked, "Zi Yan, what did you mean by the little sister in Sister You Ruo's belly?"

"Ok?"

You Ruo stared at Xiao Fan for a moment, her eyes gleaming with a purple light, before belatedly realizing what she had said. She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Oh right, you didn't know..."

After hesitating for a moment with her head down, Zi Yan finally spoke, "It was when I returned to the Snake-People tribe last time. The elders of the Snake-People tribe said that Sister You Ruo was pregnant, but Sister You Ruo told me not to tell anyone..."

Xiao Fan didn't listen to what Zi Yan was saying about shipping. When he heard that You Ruo was really pregnant, Xiao Fan's first reaction was disbelief. After all, in Xiao Fan's own mind, he was still a child himself. However, he quickly realized what was going on and felt an indescribable excitement.

"Junior brother, I'm leaving this to you. Take your time."

Looking at the rosy-cheeked Zi Yan, Xiao Fan couldn't hide his excitement. He reached out and vigorously ruffled Zi Yan's hair, venting his frustration by making a mess of it. Then, Xiao Fan vanished from the spot in a flash. Knowing that You Ruo was pregnant, he had no intention of taking things slowly. As for the furious Zi Yan, he would leave that to Xiao Yan.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Zi Yan stood on Kai Jin's back, looking at the vanished Xiao Fan, a sinister smile on her face as she turned to Xiao Yan beside her, clenching her fist.

......

Xiao Fan shook off Zi Yan and the others and rushed straight into the Snake-People tribe. With his current strength, the other members of the Snake-People tribe would naturally not be able to find his trace. However, after entering the Snake-People tribe, several elders of the Snake-People tribe still managed to discover his presence.

Seeing the elders blocking his way, Xiao Fan suppressed his excitement and asked the First Elder, "Where is You Ruo?"

When the snake-people elder saw Xiao Fan's appearance, he guessed what was going on and knew that Xiao Fan must know about the queen's pregnancy. However, upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the elder showed a hint of helplessness and said, "The queen is in the main hall in the back, but the situation is not very good right now."

What do you mean by "not too good"?

Xiao Fan turned to look at the Grand Elder, his expression instantly darkening. He pressed for an answer: "What happened to You Ruo?"

"Xiao Fan, please calm down." The Grand Elder sensed the aura emanating from Xiao Fan and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He then reassured Xiao Fan and continued, "The Queen is fine. However, she used too much energy in her last attack, and the child inside her was affected by the battle. Therefore, Her Majesty can only stay in the Holy Land and stabilize the fetus through the clan's secret methods. She probably can't spare the time to see you for the time being."

Xiao Fan frowned upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, then took a deep breath to suppress his worries and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Have."

The elder nodded, then turned to Xiao Fan and said, "Do you remember the pills I told you about before, the pills for the snake-people to conceive?"

"Ah."

Xiao Fan nodded. The pill that the Grand Elder had mentioned to Xiao Fan was the sixth-grade Snake Marrow Bone-Treating Pill. However, Xiao Fan did not intend to use such a pill, since he had far better options. The upper limit of a sixth-grade pill was still too low.

Elder Xiao Fan nodded and then said, "The energy within the Holy Land is enough to stabilize the Queen and the child in her womb, but given the current situation, we cannot rashly open the gates of the Holy Land."

Seemingly sensing Xiao Fan's concern, the Grand Elder spoke up, "Don't worry, the Queen and the child in her womb are not only your children, but also descendants of our Snake-People clan. Naturally, we cannot let anything happen to them. However, once the Queen comes out of the Holy Land, the Snake Marrow Bone-Removing Pill should be put on the agenda."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded and then said, "Don't worry, but I don't plan to use the Snake Marrow Bone-Shedding Pill."

Looking at the expression on the elder's face, Xiao Fan thought that if the elder hadn't been wary of his Dou Zong strength, he might have already attacked. Xiao Fan continued, "The Serpent Marrow Bone-Turning Pill is good, but its upper limit is too low. I will prepare a seventh-grade pill for my child, the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill."

The Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill is the most suitable for You Ruo. Xiao Fan is not without ways to obtain higher-grade pills, but the effects of the medicines are different. This pill is extremely suitable for the physique of the Snake People, and it is the most appropriate to use it to nurture the child in You Ruo's body.

"Seven... seventh-grade elixir..."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the First Elder's face lit up with surprise, and the smiles on the faces of the other three elders beside him were as bright as chrysanthemums. The Snake-People Clan had never had a descendant with such talent, nurtured by a seventh-grade elixir.

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder's face was beaming with joy, and his gaze toward Xiao Fan became even more satisfied. He said, "Alright, six months. As long as you can deliver the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill within six months, that's fine. Her Majesty the Queen is still in the Holy Land, so six months is more than enough time."

"it is good."

Xiao Fan nodded. He had originally wanted to see You Ruo, but he hadn't expected that such a thing would happen because of the battle at Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Fan sighed, then his gaze fell upon the massive building behind the Serpent People's territory, as if his eyes had pierced through the Serpent People's sacred barrier and landed on You Ruo within...

Chapter 9 Mall Refresh

The sacred land of the Serpent People cannot be easily opened now. Xiao Fan did not leave, but sat quietly cross-legged outside the sacred land, looking at the barrier that enveloped the sacred land, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Am I really going to have a child?"

Recalling his experiences in the Black Corner Region, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, and his longing for You Ruo welled up like a tide.

When they left the Gama Empire, they thought it wouldn't be long before they returned. However, upon their return, they encountered this situation again, preventing them from seeing each other.

"Fortunately, nothing bad happened to you."

Fortunately, You Ruo didn't suffer any dramatic mishaps; the battle only slightly affected her. Otherwise, Xiao Fan might have regretted it for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's feelings towards the Soul Palace worsened even more. If it weren't for the Soul Palace instigating the Yunlan Sect to attack the Xiao family, according to his original plan, the Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family would have kept to themselves.

After sitting cross-legged outside the sacred ground and staying quietly for a while, Xiao Fan did not linger.

Since You Ruo cannot come out, he cannot waste time here either. After all, the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill is a seventh-grade pill, and he is only a sixth-grade alchemist. He still needs some time to break through to the seventh grade.

After leaving the sacred ground behind the Snake-People tribe, Zi Yan and Xiao Yan had already returned to the Snake-People tribe. With You Ruo not around, Xiao Fan gave up the idea of ​​staying here. Looking at Zi Yan beside him, Xiao Fan knew that it was time to send Zi Yan back to Canaan Academy.

After making the decision, Xiao Fan told the Great Elder of the Snake-People Clan, and then led Xiao Yan and Zi Yan towards the outskirts of the Jia Ma Empire.

"The days we couldn't meet will always be made up for..."

Xiao Fan looked behind the snake-people and silently said something to himself, then looked forward to seeing You Ruo again.

......
