Chapter 311: Chapter 236: The Half-Snake Woman
...
"Relax." Yan Xiaobao smiled at the Snake Woman who had moved beside him, preparing to face off against the cheering men atop the towering buildings ahead of them. "They’re cheering," he explained. "When you’re happy, you cheer. Those men are glad to see us."
Her beautiful silver eyes narrowed in suspicion, and she refused to step away from Yan Xiaobao’s side. A low growl still rumbled from her throat, though she seemed less inclined to attack.
The cheering died down, replaced by a heavy atmosphere that seemed thick enough to cut with a knife. Many of the guards on the ground raised their spears until the group approached, and the first guard noticed the silver eyes.
When he lowered his weapon, shock spread wide across his face, prompting the others to follow his gaze and notice the silver eyes as well. Some gasped in astonishment, while others stood frozen in confusion as they took in the sight of the half-serpent woman.
Although Sha Yun from the Magic Forest was a humanoid beast rarely encountered by humans, she and her sisters were quite infamous among mercenaries. If a mercenary group ventured into one of their territories, they often suffered casualties. In truth, the three sisters were not a match for many mercenary groups, but by employing tactics like ambushes and using their connection to the Holy Position Forest King, it was evident no one wished to cross them.
Yet now, the beast that everyone strove to avoid was entering Liluo City under the clear bond of a Beast Oath. In the minds of these guards, admiration for Yan Xiaobao stirred. This young cultivator was truly remarkable—a figure deserving of respect, even reverence, for being able to subdue the Snake Woman.
Not all the guards felt admiration; some were overcome with jealousy. Yan Xiaobao was just a teenager, yet he had become the apprentice of an expert. And now, he even commanded such an alluring and formidable magical beast.
Step by step, every meter they traveled through the city brought more citizens face-to-face with the striking, towering woman, leaving them awestruck. However, the shock became palpable when people observed the scales adorning her skin, and noticed that her lower half was not two elegant legs, but a long serpentine tail that seemed longer than her entire body. As she moved through the streets, her tail swayed and curled beneath her captivating figure.
In the areas the group passed through, the seven young cultivators discussed among themselves, their tones calm but their eyes wide with amazement. It was clear that some of them held knowledge of magical beasts, as they occasionally muttered words like "humanoid" and "Holy Name."
No one knew exactly what level this magical beast had reached, but it was obvious it far surpassed the average. Taking on a humanoid form was something only extraordinarily powerful creatures could achieve, just as only the strongest cultivators could transform into beasts.
When they had walked just a hundred meters into the city, Deng Wu spoke. With a brief farewell and an awkward smile, he turned his steed toward the Deng Family Mansion. Ma Kong, Gao Yan, and the Rong twins followed suit a few intersections later, leaving Yan Xiaobao to accompany Sha Yun alone.
"Mom, why does that woman have snake legs?" a little boy asked his mother, his wide eyes glued to Sha Yun and his chubby face filled with wonder. Although the mother hurriedly pulled him away and urged him on, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but chuckle gently at the boy’s innocent curiosity. Only children remained unfazed by the Snake Woman at his side since they were unaware of the dangers magical beasts posed. To them, Sha Yun was nothing more than a beautiful, slightly exotic woman—no more threatening than any other citizen.
"Follow me," Yan Xiaobao sighed as he dismounted the magical beast he rode. Holding the reins in hand, he quickly located a city guard and offered two Gold Coins to ensure that the steed would be safely returned to the City Lord’s estate.
Once he finally rid himself of the mount, Yan Xiaobao descended to the ground and began showing Sha Yun the sights of the city. He noticed the surprise darting across her silver eyes as she continuously turned her head, marveling at everything from the simple stone buildings to the ornate carriages passing by.
When Yan Xiaobao led her to the bustling marketplace, he let out a laugh as they wandered among the stalls selling all kinds of food and candies wrapped in colorful paper. Although the busy streets had quieted somewhat, a market this massive couldn’t entirely grind to a halt, even with the presence of a magical beast. Before long, Sha Yun managed to immerse herself in the lively market. Yan Xiaobao purchased her a long, sand-colored cloak—not enough to fully disguise her as a Snake Woman, but at least sufficient to make her less conspicuous.
After hours of exploring the market, the sun had set, and the roads were now illuminated solely by moonlight and lanterns hanging from the walls of houses. As they left the market, passing by refined shops selling household goods, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but admire the excitement now shimmering in Sha Yun’s silver eyes. A fondness began to bloom in Yan Xiaobao’s chest.
Yan Xiaobao felt that Sha Yun had transformed from an adversary into a friend. Though she was not as close to him as the Rong twins or the others, she was undoubtedly someone Yan Xiaobao could rely on in the future.
