94: Snake Queen

Bronze Sparrow Terrace.

Inside the Drunken Immortal Palace.

Beside Xia Xuan, beautiful women surrounded him, like orioles and swallows.

Su Mei'er was currently the number one enchantress, actively taking the lead, and even led astray two exceptionally beautiful twin fox-girls, selected nationwide from the Heavenly Fox Kingdom.

Today, the Ice Crystal Queen of the Snowman Clan lay in his arms.

Her skin was crystal clear, like peerless jade, cool and smooth to the touch, soft and comfortable.

It must be said that the icy smoothness of her skin ranked among the best of the women in the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, comparable to Xuanzha, who had transformed her divine fetus.

"Your Majesty, the people have been brought ~"

Red Bell called out charmingly, bringing several Wonderful Sound Pavilion Celestial Maidens, the Snake-person Queen offered as tribute by the Blood Fiend Imperial City, and the peerless dancing girl from the Ancient Loulan Kingdom into the palace.

As soon as she arrived, she began to contend with Su Mei'er, who was behind Xia Xuan, sparks flying in their eyes.

"Snow Woman, get up."

This was Xia Xuan's address for the Ice Crystal Queen.

"Mm." The Snow Woman, patted by Xia Xuan, her eyelashes trembling slightly, obediently got up.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The peerless dancing girl from Loulan was graceful and performed a Loulan courtesy.

Beside her, the Snake-person Queen was graceful and lithe, with a beautiful figure and world-shaking beauty, but her expression was slightly cold.

Xia Xuan thought he saw the White Snake Immortal before she was tormented by Su Mei'er.

"Your Majesty." The Snake-person Queen saluted coldly, looking up at Xia Xuan, her tone containing both sorrow and a hint of threat.

"Please, Your Majesty, withdraw the decree to conquer Blood Fiend and give the Snake-person Clan a way to live, otherwise, this King will not submit even in death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the women in the hall cast glances at her, mixed with smiles and odd expressions.

Are all Snake-person Clan members so unyielding?

The previous White Snake Immortal was still hanging from the rafters by the Heavenly Fox.

"Ignore her, continue the music, continue the dance."

Xia Xuan waved his hand, signaling the Wonderful Sound Pavilion Celestial Maidens to continue playing music. The dancing girl from the Ancient Loulan Kingdom, very sensibly, stepped onto the central stage of the main hall, showcasing the unique dance of the Western Desert style.

"Don't come over!"

The Snake-person Queen pulled out a dagger from somewhere and held it against her slender, jade-like neck.

Watching Xia Xuan approach step by step, her strength increased, and she had already drawn blood, but she still didn't dare to truly stab it in completely.

If she died, the hope of the Snake-person Clan would be completely severed.

"If you hesitate, you won't have another chance."

Xia Xuan chuckled, reached out and grabbed her wrist, directly sealing her cultivation.

He then placed another layer of Restriction, completely eliminating any possibility of her committing suicide.

"I heard that the Snake-person Clan's tongues are like a snake's forked tongue, soft and slender, and the tip can even split into two?"

Xia Xuan recalled some descriptions of the Snake-person Clan and was quite curious.

He reached out and pried open the Snake-person Queen's cherry lips, scraped around the smooth inner wall of her mouth, and picked out that long, pink tongue that resembled a snake's forked tongue.

Crystal clear snake saliva, like spider silk, connected to his fingertip, stretching very long without breaking.

And it carried a faint, fresh scent of snake fruit.

"Xia Ying managed to send you here, truly going to great lengths and understanding men very well."

"I'll grant you one chance. Serve I well with your snake's forked tongue, and the Snake-person Clan can live."

Xia Xuan sat back on the Dragon bed, his attitude strong and unquestionable.

Inside the Drunken Immortal Palace, singing and dancing filled the air, bells rang and chimes struck, and the music was melodious.

The central stage of the main hall was entirely cast from warm jade, with a shallow pond carved within, where white lotuses bloomed on the surface.

The Loulan dancing girl held a spirit pearl in her mouth, her bare feet stepping on the lotuses, her dance graceful, stirring up a hazy mist of water, displaying myriad charms.

The women of Loulan were different from the women of Central Continent.

Their gold ornaments and attire were similar in style to the Western Region dancers Xia Xuan knew from his previous life.

Exquisite beauties, exotic charm, and bold, open dance moves.

The women in the hall all brightened their eyes, finding it exceptionally excellent.

"Little Snake Woman, can you play the flute? If not, perhaps the Jade Flute Celestial Maiden, who is proficient in music from the Wonderful Sound Pavilion, could give you some guidance?"

Su Mei'er looked at the somewhat dazed Snake-person Queen and teased.

Among the musicians, the Jade Flute Celestial Maiden's face flushed slightly upon hearing this, almost missing a note.

Red Bell, unwilling to see Su Mei'er gain another "capable subordinate," snorted softly and directly stepped forward, took the Snake-person Queen's hand, and led her before Xia Xuan.

Then, she leaned in and whispered to the Snake-person Queen, causing the latter's cheeks to flush a captivating crimson, and her pupils to tremble slightly.

"Don't hesitate any longer, don't let His Majesty lose patience. If you still can't, I'll join you." Red Bell went all out.

The Snake-person Queen's psychological defenses collapsed.

In the current situation, she couldn't even commit suicide if she wanted to, and if she didn't satisfy Xuan Emperor, her fate might be even more tragic than death.

Xuan Emperor's tyranny was feared by everyone in the Western Desert.

The three prefectures of Great Yan's Eastern Prefecture remain like a ghost realm to this day; besides the Wu Dynasty army, no one survived, and skeletons littered the ground.

The death of the Snake-person Clan was entirely at Xuan Emperor's whim.

Did she have any other path to take?

Finally, the Snake-person Queen coiled beside the Dragon bed, facing Xia Xuan, her expression sorrowful and beautiful, slowly lowering her proud head.

Her cherry lips parted slightly...

Her long, forked snake's tongue...

(Ten thousand words omitted here)

Xia Xuan stroked the Snake-person Queen's beautiful hair while admiring the exotic dance of the peerless dancing girl.

This peerless dancing girl from the Ancient Loulan Kingdom was named "Lou Wuyue."

Her skin was fair, and her body was extremely flexible.

She could effortlessly perform various difficult dance moves... Just as Xuan Emperor of the Wu Dynasty indulged in beauty and lived a life of debauchery,

In the Blood Fiend Imperial City, within the Imperial Palace's Grand Audience Hall.

The expressions of the officials changed dramatically, and a sense of desolation spread through their hearts.

Xia Ying looked at the two heads sent by the Wu Dynasty assassin, her silver teeth grinding, twisting and deforming the armrest of the Dragon chair slightly.

"When two nations are at war, envoys are not to be executed. The Wu Dynasty... is bullying us too much!"

The ministers trembled with rage.

"Fei'er is dead!?" A furious roar echoed in the hall.

The Old Ancestor Yanmo rushed into the hall, saw the familiar head, his face became ferocious, and the blazing light on his body raged, instantly incinerating two nearby ministers.

"This Ancestor... will definitely make Xuan Emperor pay the price!"

The Old Ancestor Yanmo trembled as he held Yan Fei's head, his hoarse voice filled with bone-deep hatred.

In the hall, some officials' eyes flickered, recalling a rumor.

It was said that this generation's Young Sect Master of the Blazing Demon Sect was the Old Ancestor Yanmo's only illegitimate son after his emergence. Now, it seemed, it was most likely true.

And the Young Sect Master of the Blazing Demon Sect had gone to great lengths to curry favor with the Blood Fiend Empress.

He wasn't in the plan for this mission to the Wu Dynasty.

However, he volunteered, wanting to earn merit and prove himself. His death could not be blamed on anyone else in Blood Fiend, so the Old Ancestor Yanmo could only transfer all his hatred to the Wu Dynasty.

"The Wu Dynasty can easily destroy even an Immortal Sect, can we really stop them?"

An official sighed quietly.

"According to reports from our scouts, the Wu Dynasty's army has already begun to gather and will reach the Blood Fiend border in a few days."

"Alas, must the Imperial Dynasty face such a devastating catastrophe just after its establishment?"

The officials were dispirited.

The reshuffling of power within the Blood Fiend Imperial Dynasty had just begun, and many important ministerial positions in the court were still unfilled.

Moreover, the western border was still at war with the Ancient Loulan Kingdom. Facing a strong enemy at this time was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Xia Ying's face was as cold as frost.

She had no hope that these newly recruited officials could help her repel the Wu Dynasty's invading army.

"Issue my decree, send envoys to Loulan, cede territory and seek peace, and then send envoys to Sun and Moon, requesting their reinforcements. Any conditions can be agreed to!"
