A Young Man Should Know the Fragrance of Soft Rice (8000 Words, Completed)

"Everyone stop immediately!" Qing Lin opened her arms, as if protecting Xiao Yan behind her, and shouted.

"It's the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Holy Maiden!"

"No wonder Xiao Yan isn't panicking at all; it turns out he's already colluded with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!"

Seeing Qing Lin's appearance, everyone was shocked. Qing Lin's identity is the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Holy Maiden, which can be said to represent the Heavenly Serpent Mansion! "During the Sect Assembly, blood feuds between sects are strictly prohibited. If you want to fight, then do it on the Sect Assembly arena!" Qing Lin's eyes flashed with a green light as she stared directly at the Bone Child Old Man and the others.

This reversal directly shocked everyone present! "Heavenly Serpent Mansion! This..." Luo Yantian's eyes were filled with deep fear. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion was definitely not something their Golden Goose Sect could afford to offend.

Although the Heavenly Serpent Mansion is also known as one of the Northwest Region's Ten Great Sects, in terms of strength, it actually ranks first. The main reason it hasn't unified the Northwest Region is that there are still several sects with equally strong power.

The Bone Child Old Man, on the other hand, frowned tightly. He didn't understand what was going on. Yesterday, he had secretly exchanged views with the leaders of the Thunder Sect, the Lion Nether Sect, and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Naturally, these three major sects didn't want the Flame Alliance Rising.

"Could it be that Xiao Yan has already discussed it with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and plans to have the Flame Alliance join the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!"

"No way. If that's the case, wouldn't the Heavenly Serpent Mansion have the strongest Alchemist and the strongest Dou Zong? That's enough to unify the Northwest Region!"

"That's probably it; otherwise, how could the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Holy Maiden appear here?"

For a time, the atmosphere of the entire mountain range changed. After all, if the Flame Alliance really merged and joined forces with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, then most of the Northwest Region's sects would probably submit.

The youngest and strongest Alchemist, plus the strongest sect—no sect in the Northwest Region would dare to offend this combination.

Originally, admitting to killing a genius disciple of the Medicine Bone Sect was a major matter. At worst, one would lose their life; at best, it would lead to the destruction of their sect.

But if the Flame Alliance really joined forces with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, then these major matters would become minor matters, or even nothing at all.

However, soon, things took another turn!

"Qing Lin, you shouldn't interfere in this matter." In the distance, a deep voice came. Looking closely, it was the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Palace Master, She Tianhao! Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment. This reversal was faster than a suspense drama!

"This... what's going on with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?"

For a time, everyone in the entire mountain range, including the Bone Child Old Man and the others, were dumbfounded. They looked at Qing Lin, then at She Tianhao. Are you guys having internal strife in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?

Qing Lin took off her veil, revealing a face that had grown into a charming beauty, her eyes revealing determination as she stared at She Tianhao.

Qing Lin slowly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Palace Master, Qing Lin can't watch Young Master Xiao Yan be in danger and do nothing."

Hiss, hiss, hiss!!! Instantly, a series of gasps rang out throughout the entire mountain range, as if they had seen a ghost! "Young, Master?! Am I hearing things? The Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Holy Maiden called Xiao Yan 'Young Master'?!"

"You're not mistaken; I heard it too!"

"How is this possible? That's the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Holy Maiden! What's the relationship between them?!"

"Damn, I heard that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion once intended to match the Holy Maiden with She Tianhao. This... not only is Xiao Yan's Strange Flame green, but the hat he's giving people is also green."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this involvement is a bit big. If I were She Tianhao, I definitely couldn't stand it."

Hearing Qing Lin disobey his orders, She Tianhao's face was as gloomy as if water could drip from it. His pair of inverted triangle snake eyes flashed with a fierce light. There was no doubt that She Tianhao was in a state of rage.

"Xiao Yan, you have good methods, actually bewitching my Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Holy Maiden! I don't know what medicine you gave Qing Lin to make her so devoted to you, but my Heavenly Serpent Mansion will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!" She Tianhao's voice was terribly gloomy as he stared fixedly at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan touched his nose and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Saying 'bewitch' is a bit of an exaggeration. Qing Lin was raised by my Xiao Clan. I didn't expect her to do this either."

!? As soon as Xiao Yan said this, the plot twisted again and again!

Everyone watching in the audience was a little confused. Didn't you call Qing Lin out? You were so loud just now!

Qing Lin whispered, "Young Master Xiao Yan, I will use the illusion of the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils in a moment, which can cause the surrounding people to have brief dizziness and disorientation. At that time, Young Master Xiao Yan can take the people of the Flame Alliance away."

Xiao Yan grabbed Qing Lin's wrist and pulled her back, saying, "Qing Lin, calm down. With these cats, dogs, and snakes, they don't have the ability to keep me here."

As soon as Xiao Yan said these words, everyone on the sidelines was dumbfounded. Saying such words was simply not putting the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in their eyes at all. This was too arrogant.

At this moment, the Bone Child Old Man instead revealed a smug smile. Originally, he was worried that if they forced the Flame Alliance into a desperate situation, then it would be troublesome if Xiao Yan joined the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, the Thunder Sect, or other sects to seek shelter. Now, Xiao Yan had forced the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to stand on their opposite side.

Luo Yantian and the others also looked forward to it, not in a hurry to take action at all. After all, someone was more anxious than them.

She Tianhao was trembling with anger, his anger soaring to the sky, with the urge to tear Xiao Yan into pieces! He had always regarded Qing Lin as his own possession, and had long believed that Qing Lin was a member of their Heavenly Serpent Mansion, his woman. Now, Xiao Yan had snatched Qing Lin away in public, putting such a big green hat on him. If She Tianhao could endure this, then he would be a turtle.

"Littlebeast, this seat will grind your bones to ashes and tear you to pieces today! Your Flame Alliance will disappear from today!" Being ridiculed by Xiao Yan like this, She Tianhao's face was ashen, as ugly as it could be. At this time, he let out a roar, and a huge snake shadow appeared behind him. When he took a step forward, it immediately felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, and the terrifying aura suppressed people with a feeling that the earth was about to collapse.

Xiao Yan raised his hand, with an expression that said: I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet.

"Qing Lin is a member of my clan. Back then, it was your Heavenly Serpent Mansion who forcibly took her away. Since Qing Lin is now willing to leave with me, it is only natural for me to take her away. However, your Heavenly Serpent Mansion can be considered to have cultivated Qing Lin." Xiao Yan then glanced at the Bone Child Old Man, who was watching the show, and sneered, "As for you few, the Medicine Bone Sect and the Golden Goose Sect, you think too highly of yourselves. Do you really think I care? In fact, you are already dead people in my eyes now."

"I just want to tell you now, you shouldn't have, by any means, touched anyone from my Flame Alliance. I will make sure they die without a burial ground!"

"Kill them all!" Xiao Yan waved his hand, speaking with unparalleled arrogance.

But...

At this moment, the entire mountain range was peaceful, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Even the crows flying overhead could be heard.

Qing Lin, Yun Yun, and the members of the Flame Alliance behind him all slowly turned to look at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's cheeks flushed red, so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

What an awkward situation.

"Hey! You have a share in this Flame Alliance, are you just going to watch it be destroyed!"

"You have no right to order me." Just then, a cold rebuke rang out! Suddenly, endless colorful light surged from the sky, illuminating the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion. In that instant, it was as if the Immortal Realm had been opened! At some point, a woman was already standing in the sky. The woman was peerless in beauty, with a face that could captivate cities and topple kingdoms. Even the loose robe could not hide her fiery figure.

She stood there like a celestial fairy, her red hair and extremely cold face making people afraid to approach.

Seeing this woman, everyone was shocked, marveling at her unparalleled beauty. The first to recognize her was naturally Hua She'er, her close guard.

Hua She'er knelt down abruptly and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Yue Mei also knelt down. That face, that aura, that figure! Who else could it be but Medusa! Seeing this, Lu She, behind She Tianhao, felt his legs go weak and sat down on the ground with a thud, his face pale as he screamed as if he had seen a ghost, "Medusa Queen!!!"

Hearing Lu She's scream, even those who didn't recognize Medusa instantly understood that the stunning woman standing supreme in the sky was the Snake-People Empire's famous iron-blooded queen!

"She is Medusa of the Snake-People Empire?! She has completely transformed!"

"No! It's not just the transformation, her aura... I feel like she's even stronger than She Tianhao!"

Not only She Tianhao, but even Thunder Sect Leader Ting Hao and Lion Nether Sect Leader Shi Nian, who were watching from afar, showed fear.

"A seven-star Dou Zong?!"

"Impossible, how could her strength have increased so quickly!"

She Tianhao was even more surprised, because he was also a seven-star Dou Zong, but he felt that Medusa's strength was even greater than his!

At this moment, She Tianhao suddenly looked at the smug Xiao Yan, whose expression made it seem like he was the seven-star Dou Zong.

She Tianhao recalled that the Flame Alliance had been established for about four years, and apart from Medusa's appearance at the very beginning, she had been missing ever since.

Moreover, with Medusa's arrogant personality, it was impossible for her to agree to an alliance. She Tianhao had even proposed that the Snake-People Empire join, offering incredibly generous terms, but Medusa had ignored him.

"Could it be because of him!"

Xiao Yan was a Seventh Grade Alchemist! It would be a big mistake to think that Alchemists only refine pills! The reason why Alchemists can become the top and most powerful profession in the Dou Qi Continent is that they can do more than just refine pills. They can even bring the dead back to life, enhance talent, and defy fate!

In an instant, the situation on the field reversed once again. Everyone watching in the mountains finally understood where Xiao Yan's arrogance came from!

He was eating Soft Rice!

Medusa had actually arrived long ago. At her speed, returning from Canaan Academy to the Snake-People Empire was only half a day. Afterwards, she learned that Xiao Yan had led the Flame Alliance to the Heavenly Serpent Empire to participate in the Sect Assembly! After dealing with the affairs of the Snake-People Empire and resolving the border issues, Medusa rushed to the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

After achieving the Strange Flame Serpent Body, Medusa's strength not only greatly increased, but her seven-star Dou Zong strength allowed her to use the power of the Strange Flame to cast a Space Lock, sealing her own space to prevent being sensed.

Not to mention the Dou Zongs of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, even Xiao Yan's Soul power could not sense her. If Xiao Yan didn't have a special Soul connection with Medusa, he wouldn't have been able to detect her.

Xiao Yan was arrogant, and he had every right to be. He was the one who created this Strange Flame Serpent Body! "Don't let any of the Medicine Bone Sect people go!" Xiao Yan shouted loudly.

Even Medusa couldn't stand it, and transmitted her dissatisfaction, "Have you always been this shameless?"

"Hehehe, this isn't called shameless, I call it being pragmatic. If I had the cultivation of a Dou Zong, I wouldn't need you to take action." Xiao Yan's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat faster.

He didn't know what shamelessness was, he only knew that being able to eat Soft Rice was his ability! Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Bone Child Old Man and the two hired Dou Zongs of the Medicine Bone Sect immediately changed their expressions. They had no intention of fighting Medusa at all. The terrifying pressure made them understand that fighting would mean certain death, and they could only escape! Seeing those Soul Points trying to escape, Xiao Yan unfolded his Strange Flame wings and shouted, "Don't let those two Dou Zongs run away, leave the Bone Child Old Man to me!"

With a loud bang, Xiao Yan used the Heavenly Flame Venerable's Soul power to increase his speed to the extreme, chasing directly after the Bone Child Old Man.

Although Medusa was dissatisfied with Xiao Yan ordering her around, she didn't deliberately go against him. She quickly formed hand seals, and the Space Lock instantly trapped the two three-star Dou Zongs.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Luo Yantian and the Three Mulan Elders instantly flew in the opposite direction, completely ignoring their sect's disciples.

"Trying to run!" Zi Yan laughed loudly, a pair of purple wings unfolded, and her fist condensed a Space Heavy Punch, heavily bombarding the Three Mulan Elders.

Yun Yun was also full of anger. How dare they plot against her, did they really think the Yun Sect Leader had no temper! With a Zheng sound, the Green Edge Sword in her hand rose and fell, rushing towards Jian Feixue's master, stabbing out with the sword, and instantly blood splattered everywhere.

Roar roar roar!! The Nethersea Flood Dragon roared, its huge body rushed forward, and with one foot, it crushed several young genius disciples of the Golden Goose Sect to death.

With Medusa taking the lead, everyone in the Flame Alliance had no reservations, pouncing like wolves towards the Dou Huang powerhouses from the Medicine Bone Sect and others who had been flaunting their power just moments ago.

"I, I, I have a deal with the Qiu Family's patriarch. If, if, if you dare to kill me, the Qiu Family of Pill Domain will definitely not let you off!" The Bone Child Old Man was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was a Dou Zong, manipulating the power of space with extreme speed, but Xiao Yan's speed was no less! "You think too highly of that damned Qiu Family," Xiao Yan said with a leisurely smile as he chased from behind. "To me, the Qiu Family is nothing special. Moreover, when I arrive in the Pill Domain, I will personally 'visit' that Qiu Family."

"However, you probably won't have the chance to see it," a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. This Bone Child Old Man not only went back on his bet but also plotted against him and besieged Yun Yun, leaving Xiao Yan with no reason to spare him.

"Three Thousand Lightning Movement—Three Thousand Lightning!"

*Rumble!* A thunderous sound rang out as Xiao Yan instantly stepped on the void. Lightning flashed beneath his feet, and a bolt of lightning streaked past. Xiao Yan, who was clearly only a Dou Huang, could move through the void as if he were a Dou Zong!

"Three Thousand Lightning Movement! How can you know the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's movement Dou Technique!" A bolt of lightning flashed past the Bone Child Old Man, and Xiao Yan, wielding his heavy ruler, appeared before him.
