88: Chapter 88 Exchanging the Monster Mountain Range

Facing Xun'er, whose mood was slightly off, Xiao Yan ended up constantly comforting and coaxing her. Before their relationship was official, if she was angry, then so be it, but once it was established, he had to take good care of Xun'er's emotions.

It was just that because of Xun'er's physical condition, not being able to go all the way was quite frustrating; usually, when they were together, they could only hug and cuddle, using their lips to soothe the day's exhaustion.

Cough, cough... ever since the Soul Fusion, his self-control had been deteriorating day by day...

As the Purple-Winged Giant Owl flew rapidly, a massive mountain peak appeared on the horizon. However, the shape of this peak was somewhat strange, as if it had been violently struck by something, with chunks missing here and there.

This peak was naturally Yun Lan Mountain. The missing chunks were caused by the explosions from the several Heavenly Flames Xiao Yan had thrown back then.

Xiao Yan looked at Yun Lan Mountain in the distance, his expression hesitating for a moment, but in the end, he did not have the Purple-Winged Giant Owl head toward the Cloud Mist Sect.

He originally wanted to visit Yun Yun before going to the Jia Ma Holy City, but considering Xun'er, he gave up on the idea.

Aside from the initial healing in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he and Yun Yun did not have an ambiguous relationship, nor did they develop any of those mysterious feelings. Therefore, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan were just ordinary friends.

But with Xun'er around, it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings, and it wasn't convenient to visit Yun Yun to see how her injuries were recovering.

"What's wrong? Brother Xiao Yan, that should be the location of the Cloud Mist Sect, right? You suffered at the hands of Yun Shan before; do you want to go take a look?" Xun'er asked with a faint smile, looking at Xiao Yan as he gazed into the distance.

"A mere Cloud Mist Sect isn't worth a special trip. Right now, serious business is more important," Xiao Yan said calmly, his tone carrying a disdain that anyone could hear.

"Xiao Yan, I heard from Xun'er that you have a fiancée in the Cloud Mist Sect, right?"

Zi Yan tugged at Xiao Yan's arm, unconcerned about whether his body had stiffened, and spoke again: "But I heard you annulled the engagement. With your personality, Xiao Yan, to do such a thing, that person must have been extremely annoying..."

Xiao Yan's stiff body gradually relaxed as he gently patted Zi Yan's head. The latter seemed to enjoy it, leaning even closer to him.

"Heh, naturally. Before heading to Jia Nan Academy, I even fought a battle with the Old Sect Master of this Cloud Mist Sect. Therefore, I have no good feelings toward this Cloud Mist Sect and naturally won't go there," Xiao Yan nodded and said.

Hearing this, Xun'er walked to Xiao Yan's side, took his other arm, and gave him a sweet smile.

In the palace of the Jia Ma Holy City, the massive buildings were magnificent. White and gold were the primary colors of this palace, highlighting the nobility and luxury of the Jiama Royal Family.

A hundred-zhang wingspan Purple-Winged Giant Owl slowly descended at the palace gates, its terrifying Aura causing chaos and flight among the surrounding people.

Under the terrified gazes of the guards, Xiao Yan and the others slowly floated down.

"My name is Xiao Yan, you should know it, right? Go inform Old Jia and tell him Xiao Yan has matters to discuss," Xiao Yan said to the trembling guards.

The sheer size of the Purple-Winged Giant Owl was enough to frighten countless people, not to mention the Demonic Beast Aura it constantly emitted. This was something Xiao Yan could do nothing about.

It seemed he would have to find time to change his mount, otherwise, every appearance would cause a panic, which wasn't great, Xiao Yan thought, rubbing his chin.

Before the guard could even enter the gate, a gray-robed figure flew out from within the palace. Looking at that familiar aged face, Xiao Yan smiled; the person was indeed Old Jia, Jia Xingtian.

The gray-robed old man slowly landed in front of Xiao Yan and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Xiao Yan, it's been a long time. Now your Aura is even more extraordinary, making this old man feel ashamed."

Old Jia didn't know how to address Xiao Yan. Calling him 'Young Friend Xiao Yan' felt too bold, while calling him 'Lord Half-Saint' felt too distant. While his heart was conflicted, he also felt a great deal of awe.

Only a year had passed...

"Old Jia is also more energetic than a year ago," Xiao Yan nodded and chuckled.

Seeing Xiao Yan say this, Old Jia asked, "Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, I wonder why you've come to find this old man today?"

While speaking, Jia Xingtian led Xiao Yan and the others into the palace, chatting as they walked.

"Hehe, my visit this time is naturally to bring something good to the Jiama Royal Family, but as for this good thing, it depends on whether you can take it."

"Oh? On behalf of the Royal Family, I thank Mr. Xiao Yan. But I wonder, Mr. Xiao Yan, what good thing are you bringing to the Royal Family?" Jia Xingtian was somewhat puzzled. Although his contact with Xiao Yan was brief, the impression Xiao Yan left was not that of someone who would deliver gifts for no reason.

"I have already subdued the Snake-people Tribe, and now I need a suitable habitat to settle them. I thought of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. But don't worry, Old Jia, I will provide suitable items to exchange with the Jiama Royal Family," Xiao Yan said straightforwardly.

There was nothing worth beating around the bush for regarding this matter; discussing interests directly was the fastest way to resolve it.

"The Magical Beast Mountain Range is a relatively important place for the Jia Ma Empire. Whether it's medicinal herbs or monster cores, it's a rich Materials warehouse. If it's given to the Snake-people Tribe, I'm afraid the people of the Jia Ma Empire will feel dissatisfied."

Although curious about how Xiao Yan subdued the Snake-people Tribe, Old Jia didn't ask much. Seeing that Xiao Yan was willing to exchange items, he tried to see if he could expand the benefits slightly.

"Hehe, don't worry. Even the mercenaries of the Jia Ma Empire wouldn't casually venture into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The territory the Snake-people Tribe needs will be settled in the depths, and it won't interfere with the Empire's people's adventures in the mountains."

"Mr. Xiao Yan has considered everything thoroughly. In that case, there really is no impact," Jia Xingtian didn't dare to open his mouth to negotiate further.

As if seeing through Jia Xingtian's hesitation, Xiao Yan took out several items he had prepared from his storage ring and said, "A Tier 6 Medicinal Pill, the hunyuan bone-sculpting pill, which should be useful for your Royal Family's Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast. A Tier 6 Medicinal Pill, the Break-Sect Pill, which should be useful for you. Three Peak Tier 5 Dou Ling Pills, which should be useful for the Jiama Royal Family. All of these are the exchange conditions. Furthermore, I can guarantee three hundred years of peace for your Jiama Royal Family."

Watching Xiao Yan list these Advanced Medicinal Pills one by one, Old Jia's heart was trembling, and Xiao Yan's final sentence completely crushed Old Jia's last line of defense!

A guarantee from a Half-Saint expert! The weight of this was enough to allow the Jia Ma Empire to look down upon all the surrounding countries!

Although it was only for three hundred years, the significance was different, especially at this critical moment.

Old Jia was naturally aware of the Cloud Mist Sect's wild ambitions. Especially after Yun Shan's Breakthrough to Dou Zong, the Cloud Mist Sect's power had been expanding over the past year, seemingly ready to declare war on the Jiama Royal Family.

Therefore, Xiao Yan's final promise alone was enough to sway all of Old Jia's concerns, let alone the Break-Sect Pill and the hunyuan bone-sculpting pill that could heal the Royal Family's Rank 6 Demonic Beast!

"Lord Xiao Yan, these items of yours are truly precious. However, since you've offered, this old man will not refuse. As for the Magical Beast Mountain Range, you may dispose of it as you wish..." Jia Xingtian's eyes narrowed into slits as he smilingly took the three Medicinal Pills and spoke respectfully to Xiao Yan.

At this point, he couldn't care about face; clinging to this powerful backer was the most important thing.

"Good, then the Magical Beast Mountain Range shall belong to me, Xiao Yan, from now on. By the way, regarding that hunyuan bone-sculpting pill, I'm afraid I'll have to step in to fully release its effects. Take me to that Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast now," Xiao Yan added.
