92: Section 92

Ye Mei knew Xiao Bai was glib and trying to brainwash her, so she picked up her snake sword and stabbed at Xiao Bai's body.

Clang!

The snake sword in her hand snapped instantly.

How can this be? This shouldn't be happening. Wasn't the snake demon severely wounded by Your Majesty?

Before Ye Mei could react, Xiao Bai tightly coiled his snake tail around her.

Hahaha...

Xiao Bai let out a wild, arrogant laugh. He felt like a petty villain who had just gotten his way, his mouth twisted in a grin.

Snake demon, let me go!

Ding-dong!

Two Brother Kuns suddenly popped out, leaving Ye Mei completely shocked. It was her first time seeing such a thing; she was truly stunned, frozen in place for three seconds.

Don't be so curious! My Brother Kuns have just been pent up for too long and needed to come out for some air.

The space here was truly limited; it was already quite a challenge for the golden bowl to accommodate a coiled giant python earlier.

Xiao Bai decisively chose to Take Human Form, though he kept his snake tail, wrapping it tightly around Ye Mei.

Supervisor Ye Mei, you've given me quite a surprise by delivering yourself to my doorstep. Go ahead, try being arrogant again—you still wanted to kill me with your sword?

Ye Mei's face was filled with disbelief. She had clearly seen Xiao Bai severely wounded by the Queen's purple light. As one of the top ten experts of the Snake-Human Clan with the strength of a Level 2 Demon King, she couldn't even pierce Xiao Bai's skin.

You really are a fake eunuch. How did you do that?

Want to learn? I'll teach you.

Xiao Bai demonstrated on the spot, leaving Ye Mei filled with shame.

I've always considered myself a kind snake, treating the opposite sex with the utmost care. You were trying to kill me just now, and I didn't even do anything to you.

Now that you've fallen into my hands, I'll give you two choices: either you submit, or you get stabbed to death by me.

Although Ye Mei was inside the golden bowl, her heart was with the Snake-Human Queen. As the Queen's personal female official, her mission was to protect the Queen's safety.

Now that The Human, Demon, and Ghost Clans were approaching aggressively, she desperately wanted to go out and provide support, but she was controlled by Xiao Bai and couldn't escape.

What are you thinking about? My patience is limited. Have you decided yet?

The strong-willed Ye Mei found it difficult to speak, but in order to better protect the Snake-Human Queen, she gritted her teeth and compromised with Xiao Bai.

I can submit to you, but you must promise to go out with me and assist Your Majesty.

The Human, Demon, and Ghost Clans have come to provoke us, and I'm worried the Queen won't be able to handle it.

Xiao Bai readily agreed: Of course, no problem. It depends on how you perform.

Look, I'm not threatening you. This is all consensual, so don't start crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang yourself after we're done.

Ye Mei's gaze was firm; once she had made up her mind, it was hard to sway her.

If you dare to break your word, even if there's a huge gap in our strength, I will fight you to the death.

As she spoke, Ye Mei slowly removed her armor. Her skin wasn't fair, but rather a wheat-colored tone.

Her waist was slender with clear abdominal muscles. She wore a tight black garment underneath that perfectly highlighted her muscular lines, making her feel like a female gym instructor.

Hmm, not bad! You can tell she works out often. She has curves in all the right places, and that powerful-looking backside is truly lethal.

Despite Ye Mei's muscular build, she had a standard oval-shaped face.

This was Xiao Bai's first time playing with a Snake-Human, so he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

Ye Mei slowly shed her snake skin. Xiao Bai had a sense of déjà vu; when he was impersonating a eunuch before, he had two of them on him as well.

So that's how it is. It's quite unique.

Seeing that Xiao Bai still hadn't made a move and was just admiring from the side, Ye Mei urged him: Hurry up, get on with it! Your Majesty could be in danger at any moment.

Here I come. You have such requests, huh?

The two Brother Kuns accelerated with full force, acting quite frantic. Xiao Bai felt like he had just eaten a fast-food meal.

If Ye Mei hadn't been constantly urging him, he wouldn't have wanted to finish the battle so quickly.

Ye Mei quickly put her armor back on and glanced sideways at Xiao Bai. Why haven't you put away this big bowl yet?

Throughout the entire process, Ye Mei didn't make a single sound. She was truly capable of enduring; she didn't show any feminine tenderness, acting every bit like a tough woman.

After it was over, she was very cold towards Xiao Bai, as if it were merely some kind of transaction of interests.

Big sister, can you be a bit gentler when you speak? We're at least friends with benefits, is there not even a shred of camaraderie?

Ye Mei replied impatiently: This is just my personality. If you don't like it, you can kill me anytime.

Xiao Bai felt like things had gone off the rails; even after taking her, she was still so arrogant. Sure enough, there's no true love in the fast-food world—you just finish eating and walk away.

The golden bowl began to shake, and a beam of golden light shot out, blinding the eyes of the few Snake Guards standing by.

Xiao Bai and Ye Mei stood right in front of them, and the golden bowl slipped into Xiao Bai's clothes to hide.

Supervisor Ye Mei, you've finally come out.

Where is the snake demon?

Ye Mei said solemnly: The snake demon is dead. This is my friend with benefits, my close comrade-in-arms; it's all thanks to him.

Xiao Bai's mouth twitched. This snake woman didn't learn anything good, but she certainly learned that quickly.

Gather the brothers outside the main hall and wait for orders at any time. Your Majesty is in danger.

Yes...

The Snake Guards quickly ran off to gather the troops.

Let's go in first.

Ye Mei looked back and realized Xiao Bai was gone. She began to panic, thinking she had done all that for nothing.

Don't panic, I'm in your hair. It's not appropriate to expose ourselves right now, so just take me in.

Since you said we're friends with benefits, I'll definitely do what I promised.

Chapter 122: Unequal Treaty

The Snake-Human Queen sat on the Phoenix chair in the middle of the main hall, her long snake tail covering the wide chair.

Representatives from The Human, Demon, and Ghost Clans were also sitting in the main hall. They sat on their chairs, unsmiling, with very serious expressions.

The atmosphere in the room was very heavy. The Snake-Human Queen wore a terrifying golden mask and remained silent.

The two sides stood in a standoff for over half an hour until Ye Mei walked in and broke the deadlock.

She nodded slightly, giving the Snake-Human Queen a look full of confidence.

Representatives of the three clans, why have you come uninvited and forced your way into the Snake-People Territory?

As the initiator of this operation, the representative of the Human Race, Daoist Taixu, gently stroked his beard, holding a horsetail whisk in his right hand.

Your Majesty, Queen Feng Yun of the Snake-Human Clan, have you forgotten the treaty we signed?

What treaty? Please enlighten me, Daoist.

Daoist Taixu took out a scroll made of golden silk, feeling as if he were reading an imperial edict. It even had a red seal stamped on it.

According to the terms of the treaty, the Snake-Human Clan is required to provide the Human Race with no fewer than one thousand Snake-Human beauties every year.

And we will provide the Snake-Human Clan with food in exchange. Why has the delivery been delayed for half a year?

Does Queen Feng Yun not need to explain?

Subsequently, the representatives of the Demon Race and the Ghost Clan also produced their treaties. They, too, required Snake-Human beauties, offering some insignificant items in exchange. To put it bluntly, they were colluding to extort them.

Xiao Bai lay on Ye Mei's hair, carefully observing the situation. So the Snake-Human Queen is named Feng Yun. Yuner is truly a lovely name.

Suddenly, he saw a somewhat familiar face.

Why is this Old Guy from the Demon Race here? He really is everywhere.

The Snake-Human personal guards presented all three scrolls to the Snake-Human Queen, Feng Yun.

She scanned them briefly with a cold, sharp gaze, then condensed purple flames in her right hand and burned all the scrolls on the spot.

I have absolutely no knowledge of the treaty you speak of. The Human Race wants to take one thousand Snake-Human beauties from the Snake-Human Clan every year for such a pittance of food.

The Demon Race and the Ghost Clan are even more greedy, wanting three thousand Snake-Human beauties in exchange for some scrap metal. The three of you combined would be taking seven thousand a year.

The entire Snake-Human Clan has fewer than one hundred thousand members. This is extortion.

The Demon Race Elder Ji An sneered: Surely the Snake-Human Queen isn't trying to renege on the debt? Burning this treaty is useless; we have more copies.

It bears the Queen's seal; don't even think about denying it.

Feng Yun slammed the table in anger: Scoundrels! I have never signed this unequal treaty. Furthermore, I will never send my clansmen away.

Daoist Taixu laughed out loud: Queen Feng Yun, surely you don't intend to openly oppose our three great clans?

Offending any one of us would spell disaster for the Snake-Human Clan. It would be better to provide some Snake-Human beauties every year and secure a chance for peace.

Scoundrels! I have been in seclusion to Cultivate for over a decade and have never heard of this matter.

The representative of the Ghost Clan was the sixth son of the Ghost Emperor, whom everyone was accustomed to calling Guizi Liu. He looked monkey-like, and his laugh was extremely lecherous.

Feng Yun, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you provoke me, this Prince will abduct you to Ghost Emperor City as well.

Snake-Human beauties are just more fun. I can easily play a hundred of them to death in a month.

Guizi Liu wore a lecherous expression: I remember now, it was your cousin Feng Qingchang who stamped and signed the contract ten years ago. This doesn't count as forced buying and selling.
