101: Section 101

“Don't mess around! If you really want to, let's go somewhere else after Her Majesty the Queen finishes her instructions. It's too dangerous here.”

Xiao Bai smirked, his smile lewd: “Without this excuse, how could I get you away from the Queen?”

“The most dangerous place is the safest place. Don't you understand the principle of the darkest place being under the lamp? This is what makes it exciting.”

Spending these days in secluded Cultivation with the Queen had made Xiao Bai miserable, even though he had successfully penetrated her in the end, it was in his Little White Snake form.

It was still just two little bean sprouts, and the time was short; it was really unsatisfying. After coming out, he definitely had to vent this fire onto Ye Mei.

Under Xiao Bai's sweet talk and persuasion, Ye Mei gradually gave in. Since she had been “developed,” she hadn't seen Xiao Bai for over two months.

She became like a hungry wolf, venting all the misery she had endured while searching for Xiao Bai during those days.

After more than two hours passed and they still hadn't returned, Feng Yun ordered all her personal guards to go hurry them up.

Ye Mei pounded hard on Xiao Bai's back.

“Stop playing! Her Majesty the Queen sent people to rush us.”

“Don't worry, I'll use a Clone to deal with them first. Brother Kun hasn't gotten his chance to perform yet.”

Xiao Bai blew a breath toward the small stool beside the bed, and it transformed into his likeness, slowly walking out of the room to handle the inspection.

“Mister Bai Bing, are you finished?”

“This process is a bit complicated and might take a while longer. Once it's done, I will immediately report to Her Majesty the Queen. You should go back first and don't come back to disturb us.”

“Yes...”

Ye Mei’s heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally relaxed. She was terrified of being caught in the act. If word got out, she wouldn't be able to stay in the Snake-Human Clan.

“My Lord, you really are something.”

“When that half-stick of incense burns out, we really have to stop playing.”

Xiao Bai glanced over and shook his head: “It hasn't even been ten minutes. How can that be enough?”

“Her Majesty the Queen and I are going out on a trip, and we might not return for a long time. I definitely have to satisfy you this time.”

It didn't completely finish until three hours later, making the total time spent over five hours.

With the slight participation of the two Brother Kun, even Ye Mei's robust physique couldn't endure it.

While Ye Mei was still heavily panting, Xiao Bai decisively shoved a black pill into her mouth. The pungent smell made her eyes water uncontrollably.

“My Lord, what is this thing? It tastes so strange.”

“An Enhanced Transformation Pill.”

Xiao Bai gently blew a breath toward Ye Mei. Her originally wheat-colored skin became much fairer, and her snake tail also turned purple.

Ye Mei was both shocked and delighted: “This... I turned into Her Majesty the Queen just like that?”

“Hurry up and let's go! Don't waste time. The Queen has been waiting for us for five or six hours.”

As Ye Mei tried to stand up and move her snake body, she felt a swollen pain. She wasn't sure if it was because she had Take Human Form into the Queen's body or for some other reason, but Xiao Bai definitely knew.

He quickly stepped forward to support her: “Hold yourself together later. Don't let the disguise slip in front of Her Majesty the Queen, and don't talk nonsense.”

“Mhm...”

As soon as they walked in the door, Feng Yun was already asleep on the couch.

“Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen.”

Feng Yun slowly opened her eyes, looking at Ye Mei, whose figure was identical to her own. She smiled faintly: “Not bad. It’s a perfect imitation.”

“Isn't Mister Bai Bing skilled in medicine? Why did it take so long?”

“Supervisor Ye Mei is more robust than Her Majesty the Queen, and there was a significant difference in skin tone, so it took a little longer.”

Feng Yun did not press the matter further. She retrieved the golden mask that was identical to her face.

“Ye Mei, put this on. Starting today, you are the Snake-Human Queen.”

She then called her personal maid over: “Xiaoxin will assist you with anything you are unsure of. You will be heavily rewarded when This Queen returns.”

“Yes... Your subordinate strictly obeys the Queen's command.”

After giving her instructions, Feng Yun took Xiao Bai and flew out of the city.

Ye Mei reluctantly watched Xiao Bai's gradually shrinking figure, unwilling to leave until he had completely disappeared.

“Supervisor Ye Mei, you are the Queen now. You must not show such an expression; the disguise could easily be exposed.”

“Her Majesty the Queen has never looked directly at a Snake Man.”

Only after Maid Xiaoxin's reminder did Ye Mei collect her emotions and slowly begin to learn the Queen's demeanor.

As soon as they flew out of the city, Xiao Bai looked down at the land below and saw the villages scattered across the mountainside outside the city, which reminded him of Xiao Heizi.

“Your Majesty the Queen, please wait for me. I need to go see an old friend.”

“Hurry up. This Queen doesn't have that much patience.”

Xiao Bai immediately landed and headed toward the thatched hut where Xiao Heizi lived. Even from dozens of meters away, he could hear pig-slaughtering screams coming from inside.

“Are your skills even adequate? It hurts like hell! Hurry up and apply the medicine for me.”

“Bear with it. Given your circumstances, the palace might not even accept you. Why do you insist on becoming a eunuch in the palace?”

Xiao Heizi's face was full of pain: “My Big Brother works in the palace. He will definitely look out for me.”

“I can’t stand starving nine times in three days outside anymore. I want to follow Big Brother into the palace, eat well, drink well, and live a life like an immortal.”

Dazhuang shook his head helplessly: “I’ve castrated oxen, dogs, and pigs, but never a Snake-Human. I don't know if I got everything clean.”

“Make sure you get it all clean! You won't be shorted your hard-earned money. Once I enter the palace and find Big Brother, I will repay you with interest.”

Chapter 134: How Should Your Excellency Respond

Hearing that voice, it had to be Xiao Heizi. Xiao Bai quickly rushed into the thatched hut.

He saw Xiao Heizi tied to a table, bloody from the waist down, with a piece of white cloth in his mouth, lest he bite through his tongue.

“Xiao Heizi, what are you doing?”

“B-Big Brother!”

Xiao Heizi was full of excitement, his eyes wide like donkey eggs. He quickly removed the white cloth from his mouth.

“Big Brother, why did you leave the palace? I was planning to go in and find you!”

Xiao Bai placed a bag of coins on the table and smiled: “Big Brother is going to leave the Snake-People Territory for a while.”

“I've been busy lately. Take this money first. Buy a large mansion and marry a beautiful wife while you’re at it.”

Xiao Heizi’s face was bitter. He picked up his freshly severed 'treasure' and hugged Xiao Bai, wailing loudly.

“Oh, Big Brother! I became a eunuch! I won't be able to marry and have children in this life.”

Xiao Bai felt deep sympathy, but there was nothing he could do. After all, once that thing was cut off, it was difficult for it to grow back, and giving him a fake one wouldn't last long either.

“Don't they have professional cutters in the palace? How could you do this to yourself at home? You're truly incredible.”

Xiao Heizi twitched a few times: “I had no choice! The fees in the palace are quite high now. If I want to enter the palace to find Big Brother, I could only resort to this desperate measure to sneak in first.”

Xiao Bai took out a token and placed it on the table: “Go find Supervisor Caihua in the palace; she will arrange a position for you.”

“Since you are so ruthless to yourself, the most Big Brother can do is help you this much. I have something else to attend to, so I'm leaving now.”

Xiao Heizi desperately wanted to get out of bed to see off the generous Big Brother who had rewarded him, but unfortunately, having been cut, he needed bed rest and could not move around.

“Take care, Big Brother! I will surely remember your kindness for the rest of my life.”

Xiao Bai turned around, waved, and left the thatched hut. Feng Yun, dressed in black, stood watching him with her hands folded across her chest.

“I didn't expect you to be quite sentimental.”

Xiao Bai spread his hands and smiled: “It's nothing. I just happened to pass by and decided to take a look.”

“Let's go. I'll take you somewhere. Perhaps that old man has a way to cure your face.”

They passed through a narrow underground tunnel and arrived at the barrier entrance. Stepping out would allow them to leave the Snake-People Territory.

Feng Yun gathered energy in her palms and silently chanted a spell, blasting it onto the barrier. A circle of white appeared on the purple barrier.

“Hurry and follow This Queen! It will disappear soon.”

Xiao Bai immediately followed her into the barrier, instantly arriving in the scorching hot yellow sand desert.

“Let's go. We shouldn't stay here long.”

They traveled southwest all the way. After three days of flying through the air, they finally reached the skies above Tu Shan Village.

The place had recovered its original vibrant appearance, except that the Fox Demons of the Tu Shan Clan no longer lived there.

Xiao Bai looked down at the lush green earth from high above and flew toward the small stone house.

There was some firewood piled up in the courtyard, and a few chickens were being kept.

“An old friend of mine lives here. His medical skills are highly proficient. He will definitely have a way to cure your face.”

Feng Yun remained silent, quietly following behind Xiao Bai, maintaining the Queen's usual cold and glamorous demeanor.

“Tu Shan Clan Leader, I'm back!”

Xiao Bai shouted loudly in the courtyard, but there seemed to be no movement inside. A few wisps of smoke drifted from the chimney.

After a moment, a small boy walked out. He looked about ten years old and had a hairstyle like Little Nezha.

He had a chicken leg in his mouth and blinked his big eyes: “Who are you? Are you here to find Grandpa Tu Shan?”

“Uh... May I ask if the elder is inside?”

“He’s not here. He left a month ago.”

Xiao Bai's heart instantly sank. He had just boasted so confidently, and now he was being slapped in the face.

“Little friend, do you know where the Tu Shan Clan Leader went?”

The little boy grabbed his hair with his small hand: “I don’t know, he didn’t say! What is your name? He left two letters before he left. Let’s see if one is for you.”

“Xiao Bai...”

The little boy rolled his eyes: “You are Xiao Bai?”
