138: After all this is settled, I will accompany you back to the Snake Tribe.

"Young Master?"

"Gongzi?"

Seeing the door open,

Yun Xi and Murong Qingxue were both pleasantly surprised, while Xiao Chen felt a bit depressed.

"You... guarded here all night?"

Looking at their joyful faces, Xiao Chen asked with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Not at all."

"It was Duanmu Xueying who said you were coming out, so we both rushed over here."

Murong Qingxue shook her head upon hearing this, her voice a little embarrassed.

They weren't some little perverts who liked eavesdropping; how could they have foolishly guarded outside all night?

However, as these words fell, Yun Xi clearly looked a bit guilty.

She was just worried that Xiao Chen had finally returned, and she, his personal maid, hadn't taken good care of him.

It would be terrible if he accumulated a belly full of anger and went to vent it on others.

To prevent Xiao Meier and the others from continuing to guard, she, this little maid, must do something to make this Young Master feel the warmth of home!

As this thought settled,

Yun Xi's gaze gradually became firm, and she made a certain decision deep within her heart.

"Cai Yan is back?"

Hearing Murong Qingxue's words, Xiao Chen's eyes slightly brightened.

Almost as his voice fell, the space in front slightly twisted, and Cai Yan's figure also appeared.

"Gongzi, these are all the resources obtained from destroying the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Nalan Family..."

Seeing Xiao Chen's expression, Cai Yan immediately understood.

She raised her hand and took out a storage naring.

"Mm, well done."

Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing this, then took the naring.

Immediately after,

as if he thought of something, his gaze turned towards Murong Qingxue.

"Murong Qingxue, the Nalan Family and the Murong Family had some ties. Now that the Nalan Family is destroyed, your grandfather must be feeling a bit down."

"You should go and comfort him first..."

The Nalan Family and the Murong Family were originally generations of friends, only gradually drifting apart later on.

And now, because of Nalan Shijie, that idiot, the entire Nalan Family has been wiped out, root and branch. Even if Murong Bo thinks this move was not inappropriate,

he must feel uncomfortable inside.

"Okay, then I'll go see grandfather first..."

Murong Qingxue nodded upon hearing this and immediately walked towards the courtyard exit.

With Murong Qingxue's departure, the courtyard suddenly fell into silence.

Cai Yan looked up at the distant sky, not knowing what she was thinking at this moment, a look of melancholy on her face.

This scene made Xiao Chen's eyes narrow slightly, and he immediately seemed to think of something as well.

"The Snake-People Clan... something happened?"

When Cai Yan broke through to the Ru Sheng Realm,

she used a unique secret method of the Medusa Queen lineage to let the Snake-People Clan know that she was still alive. And now, a look of melancholy appeared on her face.

Then, more likely than not...

She must be worried about the Snake-People Clan tribe.

"Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Gongzi..."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cai Yan nodded at this moment.

"A message came from the Snake-People Clan side..."

"The Heavenly Wolf Dynasty is stirring. Recently, they've even sent many people to infiltrate the Endless Desert, seemingly to gather intelligence on the entire Snake-People Clan."

"However, there are no major movements at the moment, they are just secretly plotting something."

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, and his gaze flickered at this moment.

The Endless Desert where the Snake-People Clan is located,

is situated at the border between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty, which can be said to be a position vulnerable to attacks from both sides.

Now the Great Qian Imperial Family is weak, coupled with the Imperial Family Ancestor being in seclusion, so the Great Qian Dynasty side basically won't make a move on the Snake-People Clan.

But the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty is different.

Although the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty has only been established for less than a thousand years, its strength is subtly stronger than the Great Qian Dynasty.

And the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty's Imperial Family Ancestor, not only has his cultivation long since entered the Ru Sheng Realm, but his state is also at its peak.

Most importantly,

the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty has always coveted the Great Qian Dynasty, and in the past, they wanted to destroy the Snake-People Clan and annex the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, the previous generation Medusa Queen fought with her life, combined with the heritage passed down by the Snake-People Clan, they managed to preserve the tribe from the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty's hands.

So, in a sense, the Snake-People Clan hates the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty even more.

Naturally, this includes Cai Yan, this Medusa Queen.

After all, the previous generation Medusa Queen was her mother, whom she had never met.

"After I settle the Xiao Family in the next few days, and if nothing happens on the Wanhua Sect side, I'll accompany you back to the Snake-People Clan."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen said with a light smile.

"What?!"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, both Cai Yan and Yun Xi turned their heads back at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was willing to accompany her back to the Snake-People Clan, which made Cai Yan's heart fill with gratitude and warmth.

And Yun Xi was a little nervous and reluctant.

She didn't expect that the Young Master had only been back for less than two days, and he was already planning to go out to the Snake-People Clan again.

If he left this time, they would be separated for a long time again.

"Young Master, if we go to the Snake-People Clan then, can Yun Xi go with you?"

Thinking about the time without Xiao Chen by her side, it felt like a part of her soul was missing.

Yun Xi raised her head at this moment and asked with a bit of apprehension in her voice.

"The Endless Desert is very dangerous, why are you going there to join the fun..."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this, and he affectionately stroked Yun Xi's head.

"As long as I can be by Young Master's side, Yun Xi is not afraid of any danger."

Feeling the warmth of Xiao Chen's large hand, Yun Xi said with a resolute expression.

"Although Yun Xi has no cultivation, I won't be a burden to Young Master."

"If Young Master encounters any danger, you don't need to worry about Yun Xi's life or death, you can even use Yun Xi to block attacks!"

"If I can dedicate my life for Young Master, it would be the happiest thing in Yun Xi's life."

Looking at this delicate face, saying these words that seemed a bit funny but also a little poignant.

Xiao Chen suddenly froze.

He knew he was very important to Yun Xi, but he didn't expect her to see him as *this* important.

If he encountered danger, he could abandon her to save himself, or even use her to block damage. Is this girl treating herself as a tool?

"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking."

"You just haven't awakened your bloodline yet, you're not a useless waste. Don't look down on yourself too much!"

Feeling a little moved inside, Xiao Chen couldn't help but tap her on the head.

"Young Master, within my body... is there really some powerful bloodline hidden, and I'm not a waste who can't cultivate?"

Hearing Xiao Chen mention bloodline again, Yun Xi bit her lip and suddenly looked up to ask.

In the past,

she felt that even without cultivation, she could stay by Xiao Chen's side, helping him with laundry, cooking, and chores.

She could also help him share some burdens to the best of her ability.

But as time went on, Xiao Chen's cultivation became stronger, and she became dispensable.

Especially seeing the Medusa Queen in front of her, who could not only protect the Young Master but also do things for him.

The role she could play,

was simply incomparable to what she, a maid, could do, which gave her a sense of inferiority and powerlessness.

This also made Yun Xi yearn for power more than ever before.

If she could cultivate normally,

she could always follow by the Young Master's side, she could do things for the Young Master like others, which would be much stronger than just serving tea and water.

And after Yun Xi finished asking this question, Cai Yan, who was beside them, also had her eyes narrowed.

Although she wasn't very clear about Yun Xi's situation, after she ascended to the Ru Sheng Realm, she could finally sense it on Yun Xi's body.

There was indeed a very terrifying bloodline power hidden within her.

This kind of bloodline power...

Even her Swallowing Heaven Python Bloodline instinctively felt a little fearful.

This meant that,

the bloodline hidden within Yun Xi's body was more advanced than hers currently.

Unless her bloodline evolved again, she still couldn't compare with this little fellow.

This made her a little curious, what kind of bloodline power was hidden within Yun Xi's body after all?
