Chapter 259: Meeting Yue Mei on the Road

Before leaving the Xiao family, Xiao Ming sought out the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked if it wanted to leave with him.

Xiao Ming had promised to refine a Body Transformation Pill for it, which he had not been able to fulfill yet.

This was why he asked the question. If the Amethyst Winged Lion King followed Xiao Ming, he would refine the Body Transformation Pill as soon as he was able to.

In response, the Amethyst Winged Lion King hesitated but finally refused, saying its strength could not keep up with Xiao Ming's growth rate and that it would be better for it to stay with the Xiao family like Xue Tian.

Since the Winged Lion King of Amethyst chose for itself, Xiao Ming said nothing more and left a Body Transformation Grass for it before quietly leaving the Xiao family with Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan.

The Xiao Clan was located in the Northeastern Province, so the journey from the Xiao Clan to the Black Mountain Fortress would not be too long for Xiao Ming's group.

The three figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared at the edge of the horizon, and even if someone were to occasionally cast their eyes skyward, all they would see would be the flickering streak of light.

Flying overhead, Xiao Ming and her companions saw many people fleeing from the border to the Northeastern Province.

It seemed that many people were pessimistic about the situation in the Jia Ma Empire, as the three great Empires were too powerful for them to resist.

With the Jia Ma Empire weakened and rumors that its strongest expert, Xiao Ming, had left, the timing of the invasion of the three Empires into the Jia Ma Empire was impeccable, leaving the people feeling powerless.

...

On the boundless and sparsely populated plain, a faint sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out in the sky. Three streaks of light abruptly flashed and swooped down. As soon as the streaks appeared, they suddenly stopped, revealing two tall figures and a small one in the sky.

"What's wrong?" Zi Yan asked in confusion as she saw Xiao Ming suddenly stop. They were flying leisurely just a moment ago, so why did they stop?

"It seems I've run into an acquaintance..." Xiao Ming smiled slightly, looking towards the east of the plain. In a moment, his soul perception spread out from his forehead like a tidal wave, quickly perceiving the situation in the distance.

"An acquaintance?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

"She's a member of the Snake-People Tribe. You'll find out who she is later," Xiao Ming replied.

He had already clearly seen that the figure approaching in the distance was a Dou King powerhouse of the Snake-People Tribe.

Xiao Ming had encountered many members of the Snake-People Tribe before, but there were only a few he was familiar with.

"You still haven't answered my question."

"Y-Yes, I am heading towards the Black Mountain Fortress to seek an alliance," Yue Mei replied. Then, a look of pleasant surprise showed in her eyes.

She had been thinking of Xiao Ming, and he just appeared in front of her. Perhaps there was still some hope for her Queen's matter.

Gritting her teeth, Yue Mei made up her mind and said, "Please, I ask Master Xiao Ming to help our Snake-People Tribe. We will pay you for it."

"Help your Snake-People Tribe?" Xiao Ming's brows furrowed at her words, then relaxed.

"Is it because of the Chu Yun Empire matter? Isn't your Queen Medusa back in the Snake People Tribe? Together with your Dou Emperor Elders, even if you can't defeat the other party, defending for a while shouldn't be a problem. And with me here, the Chu Yun Empire won't continue to cause trouble for long." Xiao Ming did not have a bad impression of Yue Mei, so he said a few more words.

"The situation... is not as you said. Our Snake-People Tribe suffered great losses, our Dou Emperor battle power has practically disappeared. Her Majesty the Queen, she... sigh, what I want to ask you is to help heal Her Majesty the Queen, as well as the Elders." Yue Mei, said, her face turning ugly as she thought about the Snake-People Tribe's current situation.

Upon hearing Yue Mei's news about Medusa, Zi Yan's previously calm expression became nervous, and she quickly ran to Yue Mei and anxiously asked, "What happened to Sister Medusa?!"

Yue Mei was confused by Zi Yan's reaction. What was the situation? Why was this girl so anxious?

But Yue Mei reacted quickly and answered truthfully, "The Queen is in critical condition, and her life is being sustained through a secret method."

"Ah!" Zi Yan's little face turned pale upon hearing her words and then looked at Xiao Ming pitifully.

"Xiao Ming..."

Xiao Ming, however, was lost in thought.

Seeing Xiao Ming's attitude, Yue Mei became a little nervous.

Actually, for the Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Ming's appearance was half good and half bad.

If Xiao Ming agreed to help the Snake-People Tribe, then naturally, it would be a good thing. If not, then according to what Xiao Ming said, the Jia Ma Empire's problems would be solved quickly. Although the Snake-People's problems would consequently be solved as well, that would only be temporary.

With Xiao Ming's intervention, the Jia Ma Empire would not necessarily ally with her Snake-People Tribe, and by then, her Tribe, whose main battle force had not recovered from its wounds, would be doomed.

Yue Mei was not stupid and thought of this possibility, so she said with a determined heart, "I know that our Snake-People Tribe has offended Master Xiao Ming before, as a form of apology, I... I offer myself as your slave after this matter is resolved."
