Chapter 406: Qing Lin's Return

"Are you my father?" Zi Yan's beautiful dark eyes were filled with tears.

Zhu Kun nodded heavily, his face showing excitement and heartache.

Just as he was about to speak to comfort her, he heard Zi Yan say, "Well, since you are a father, why did you leave me alone? Where were you when I missed my mom and dad? Where were you when I was bullied by other monsters in the Monster Mountain Range? No, you are not my father, I hate you. Wu, you big bad guy, let's go, take me away from here, I never want to see him again. Wu."

Zi Yan threw herself into Xiao Se's arms and burst into tears as she spoke.

"Child, it's all my fault. If I hadn't coveted the Ancient Emperor's Cave, I wouldn't have been schemed by that guy Taixu Ancient Emperor, and trapped here for thousands of years. It's all my fault. You can beat me or scold me, I won't complain. Child, I owe you too much."

Seeing Zi Yan crying so sadly, Zhu Kun immediately became flustered and spoke in a panic. He wanted to touch his daughter's shoulder but was pushed away by Zi Yan.

"Go away, you bad guy, take me away, I never want to see him again. Woo woo"

"I" Zhu Kun looked at Xiao Se for help.

Xiao Se smiled helplessly. Who could have thought that Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, one of the strongest men in the Douqi Continent and a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, would be so helpless in front of his daughter?

Xiao Se patted Zi Yan's head and said softly, "Okay, Zi Yan, your father didn't abandon you on purpose. I won't tell you to forgive him directly, but he is your father. Why don't you give him a chance?"

"I don't." Zi Yan sniffed.

"Two seventh-grade pills." Xiao Se directly used his trump card.

"No." Zi Yan swallowed.

"Three." Xiao Se raised the corner of his mouth slightly and raised the price.

"I still don't want it." Zi Yan swallowed even louder and continued to raise the price.

"Three seventh-grade pills, plus one eighth-grade pill. If you don't agree, I'll send you out directly. When you miss your father, I'll bring you here. Of course, by then, you won't be able to get a single pill." Xiao Se let go of Zi Yan, turned around, and pretended to be angry.

"No, no. Isn't it enough that I promised you?" Seeing that Xiao Se seemed to be "angry", Zi Yan decided to stop while she was ahead and quickly agreed.

Zhu Kun, who was standing aside, looked at his beloved daughter who was extremely resentful of her father just a moment ago, and then compromised for just a few pills. For a moment, he felt very complicated.

"Then let's have a good talk with him." Xiao Se smiled and turned around to rub Zi Yan's little head.

"Give me the pill first." Zi Yan stretched out her right hand.

"I'll give you three seventh-grade pills first. I'll give you eighth-grade pills once I have all the medicinal materials." Xiao Se casually took out three seventh-grade pills he had found in old man Mu Gu's ring.

"Don't cheat with the remaining eighth-grade pill." Zi Yan took the pill and looked at Zhu Kun contentedly. Her eyes were also complicated, with resentment, longing, and peace of mind. Finally, she turned into a cunning look. She wiped her tears and said mischievously, "If you want me to forgive you, it's fine, unless..."

"Unless what? What do you say?" Zhu Kun nodded heavily, looking like a child thousands of years old at this moment.

"As long as you promise to listen to me in the future, I will forgive you." Zi Yan vowed.

"I promise. As long as you forgive me, I will agree to anything you ask for in the future." Zhu Kun said excitedly.

"Okay then. Now I want you to go in and help me take out all the treasures, and then help me make pills for this bad guy." Zi Yan pointed to the ancient tomb cave with excitement on her face.

"This..." Zhu Kun was a little embarrassed. If he could go in, he would have gone in long ago. Why would he be trapped here thousands of years ago?

"Why, you don't want to? Didn't you promise to listen to me from now on?" Zi Yan puffed up her cheeks.

"No, no." Zhu Kun waved his hands hurriedly and explained, "Daughter, it's not that your father doesn't want to, but I can't do it. This ancient tomb was left by Tuoshe Gudi, the last Dou Emperor of the Douqi Continent ten thousand years ago. It cannot be opened without collecting eight pieces of Tuoshe Gudi jade fragments. Back then, I coveted Tuoshe Gudi's cave, and Tuoshe Gudi designed it like this. Now, let alone entering, I can't even leave this tomb door. Otherwise, I wouldn't have abandoned you for so many years."

"Ah, what should we do?" Zi Yan was immediately anxious when she heard that Zhu Kun was trapped there and couldn't get out. Although she complained about Zhu Kun, she longed for her family in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be so attached to Xiao Se. She immediately held Xiao Se's hand and asked, "Hey, big bad guy, do you have a way to take my father out?"

Zhu Kun, who was standing by, heard this and before Xiao Se could reply, he smiled helplessly and said, "It's useless. This little guy was able to reach Dou Zun at such a young age, and he broke through the obstacles of many magma creatures to bring you here. I admit that he has some means, but this restriction was set by the Taixu Ancient Emperor himself. Unless all Taixu Ancient Emperor Jades are gathered or a real Dou Emperor comes, he can't help me escape at all."

Xiao Se touched Zi Yan's little head, gave her a reassuring look, and said with a smile: "Senior Zhu Kun, this may not be the case."

"Can you take me away?" Zhu Kun looked incredulous.

"Senior Zhu Kun, aren't you curious about why I was able to lead Zi Yan to overcome numerous obstacles and suddenly appear here?" Xiao Se showed a mysterious smile.

"Indeed, no wonder I didn't notice you until you showed up with my soul power." Zhu Kun nodded and said, "Well, I think you would not bring my daughter to see me for no reason. You must have some ulterior motive. As long as you can take me out, I am willing to agree to your three conditions and give you a dragon scale. With that dragon scale, no matter where you go, as long as you are in danger, I will be there to rescue you the first time."

"Senior Zhu Kun is a straightforward person. To be honest, I do have something to ask of you." Xiao Se did not deny it.

"Okay, okay, just tell me. If I can do it, I can satisfy you now." Zhu Kun has a straightforward personality and doesn't like so many bends and turns.

"No hurry, I'll take you out first. Please put your hand on my shoulder, Senior Zhu Kun." Xiao Se held Zi Yan's hand and said to Zhu Kun.

"Aren't you afraid that I will regret it after I escape?" Zhu Kun asked in surprise.

"If you regret it, I can only say that I have made a mistake in choosing you." Xiao Se shrugged slightly, and then added: "At most, Zi Yan will ask me to refine pills for her in the future, but I won't do that."

"You dare." Zi Yan glared at Xiao Se fiercely, and then said to Zhu Kun: "If you dare to regret it, I will never talk to you again."

"No, I just said it casually." Zhu Kun twitched the corner of his mouth and hurriedly denied it. He sighed in his heart that his daughter was controlled by Xiao Se!

Xiao Se retracted his gaze, pretended to make a few strange handprints with his left hand, and shouted in his mind: "System, use the fixed-point teleportation symbol to teleport the three of us back to where I came from before."

[Ding, the system is transmitting. ]

As the system prompt sounded in his mind, the space twisted, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Se and the other two disappeared into the tomb gate.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the place where Xiao Se had previously killed the Dou Zun-level underground magma creature.

"Haha, I'm out, I'm finally out." Feeling the removal of the restrictions of the ancient tomb cave, Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun laughed loudly towards the sky. His figure was surging with light, and he instantly recovered his original form, soaring freely in the endless magma. Some magma creatures that were close to it, whether they were Dou Zun or Semi-Saint, were smashed into powder by Zhu Kun's huge body before they could react.

After about half a while, Zhu Kun finally had enough of the trouble and transformed into a human form again. He said with a smile, "Sorry, little guy, I was a little too excited."

Xiao Se didn't care. "Senior, let's go out first. There is a force I found not far away. I want to have a good chat with you about the current situation of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and by the way, I want to ask you for a favor."

Taixu Ancient Dragon?

Zhu Kun frowned, he knew that he had disappeared for so many years, and there must be some restless guys under his command who jumped out, otherwise, with the power of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, it would be impossible for Zi Yan to not be found after disappearing for so many years, or perhaps there were not many people willing to look for her.

Tagor Desert is the former site of the holy city of the snake people.

Under the arrangement of the Sea Alliance, most of the snake people have now moved out of this area and headed to the eastern part of the Warcraft Mountains. Only a very small number of snake people are still stationed here to guard the ruins of their tribe.

Suddenly, a green light flashed across the sky and landed above the holy city of the snake people.

The green light dissipated, and a beautiful figure slowly emerged.

The woman was dressed in an elegant light green outfit. She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her figure was petite but well-developed. Her curves where they should be curved, her curves where they should be plump, and her slenderness where she should be slender. She just looked a little immature.

She has an extremely cute and delicate oval face, like a beautiful porcelain doll, giving people a fragile appearance, but from the determination revealed in her eyes, it can be seen that this is a courageous girl.

"Strange, where have all the snake people of the snake tribe gone? Why are there so few snake people here? Did something unexpected happen?" The soft voice asked three times, Qinglin frowned slightly and slowly descended to the ground.

"Who are you? Tell me your name quickly." As soon as Qing Lin landed, he was discovered by the snake guards. They raised their weapons and surrounded him.

Although the relationship between the snake people and humans has improved because of Xiao Se, there are still many snake people who have not let go of their hatred for humans. But they also know that it is not easy for the snake people to get to where they are today, so they volunteered to stay here, on the one hand, to stay away from humans, and on the other hand to protect the old site of the snake people.

Qinglin ignored the snake guards and swept them lightly with his light green eyes. In an instant, a powerful soul wave swept out, and the snake man was instantly controlled and unable to move.

"Tell me quickly, where did the human boy who was threatened by your Snakeman queen and forcibly taken to the Snakeman tribe more than five years ago go?" Qinglin looked coldly at Mobas, the leader of the Snakeman tribe, and asked in a cold voice.

"The snake people will never surrender to you. Her Majesty the Queen will avenge us." As he said that, Mobas closed his eyes and gave up resistance. The gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and there was almost no room for resistance.

"Since you won't tell me, I'll grant your wish." Qing Lin raised her slender hand and was about to strike. At this moment, an old and hoarse voice sounded in the distance, "Your Excellency Dou Zong, please spare his life."

Hearing this, Qinglin looked up and saw four old women coming from a distance.

"Four low-level Dou Zongs? They have the aura of the snake people on them." A hint of surprise flashed across Qing Lin's eyes, but he didn't care and waited quietly for the four people to arrive.

Just four low-level Dou Zongs and they were Dou Zongs from the Snake People, she didn't take them seriously at all.

"We are the four elders of the Snake People. I wonder what important matter you want to discuss with that young man?" After the four of them landed, the old woman in the lead looked at Qinglin with fear in her eyes and nodded and asked.

"He is my only relative. More than five years ago, to protect me, he was forcibly taken away by your snake-man Queen Medusa. Now I want to take him away." When Qinglin mentioned the young man, her cold face was instantly replaced by tenderness, and a hint of yearning flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Seeing Qinglin's appearance, the four old women looked at each other. Well, now they understood everything. It turned out to be another debt of love left by their son-in-law.

Immediately, the old woman from the Snake Tribe who had spoken earlier said, "The young man you are talking about should be the leader of the Xiao Alliance, that is, Xiao Se. You may not know yet, but he has now married the Queen Medusa of my Snake Tribe and has become the son-in-law of my Snake Tribe. When Her Majesty the Queen successfully evolved, we did not make things difficult for him."

"The son-in-law of the snake people?" Qing Lin was slightly stunned and asked with a frown: "Did you force him?" With his elder brother's talent, this situation might not be impossible.

"How dare we force him? I guess you have been in seclusion for a long time and are not familiar with the news from the outside world. Now Xiao Se is the leader of the Sea Alliance. Our entire Snake People, even the entire Jia Ma Empire, and the forces of several neighboring countries must obey him. Some time ago, I heard that he refined the legendary eighth-grade elixir. Who dares to force such a strong man? As for why Alliance Leader Xiao and the Queen of our tribe are together, I can't say more, but I can tell you that they are very loving now, and my queen is pregnant with Alliance Leader Xiao's child."

"Really? It turns out that Big Brother has become so powerful." Qinglin murmured in a voice that only he could hear, and then continued to ask: "Where is he now?"

"You can go to the capital of the Jia Ma Empire. The headquarters of the Sea Alliance is located there. Or you can go to the Yun Lan Sect. Now the leader of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun, has become the wife of Alliance Leader Xiao and has given birth to a child for him." said the old woman of the Snake Tribe.

"Thank you for letting me know." After saying that, Qing Lin turned around without hesitation and flew in the direction of the Jiama Empire.
