Chapter 382: Xu Chen: The Snake Emperor

At this moment, everyone stared at the scene before them in utter disbelief.

The Heavenly Snake Empress, of the noble and proud Heavenly Snake Tribe, was usually aloof, icy, and untouchable.

She had always ignored the Long She and Teng She—powerful, stunning beings in their own right.

Yet now she was telling a human she liked him—and offering to give him all her blood?

This sight shattered their entire worldview…

Because it sounded utterly insane.

Who would believe this was real if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?

Soon, Long She glared darkly at Xu Chen: "You say you like this boy?"

Teng She trembled with rage: "You, the Snake Emperor, actually like this pretty boy? —Does he even deserve it?"

Xu Chen was annoyed: What do you mean "this pretty boy"? What do you mean he doesn't deserve it?

Fine, you call her Snake Emperor, but to insult him personally? He wasn't having it.

So Xu Chen grumbled: "What's wrong with me? I'm handsome, elegant, graceful—why can't someone like me?"

Isn't it you, a brute in hard snake skin, who's truly unworthy of the Snake Emperor's affection?"

"And worst of all, you both are hideously ugly—embarrassing." Hearing this, Long She and Teng She flew into a rage: "This is sheer insolence!"

Xu Chen yawned: "What insolence? You get to insult me, but I can't insult you back?"

Why don't you piss on a mirror and check out your own faces? Do you even have the nerve to speak?"

The two's faces darkened: "You're asking for death."

Xu Chen replied coolly: "Go ahead, try."

Though he was only at Six-Turn Peak, even without using the Dao, he wasn't afraid of a Seven-Turn.

At that moment, the Snake Emperor roared: "Enough! Long She, Teng She—how dare you speak ill of my man under my very eyes?"

"Is Xu Lang someone you're allowed to insult? Two useless wastes." The crowd gasped—wait, she just called him "my man"?

This was moving way too fast!

Xu Chen coughed: "Snake Emperor, I appreciate you defending me, but I have to say—we've never met before!"

Don't go blaming me for anything—I can't give you anything either." Damn it, he'd been getting toothaches every time he saw a female lead lately.

They kept going insane and declaring they liked him—he was numb from just calming down a yandere.

Now seeing this Heavenly Snake Empress, he already had trauma. The Snake Empress smiled sweetly: "It's fine, Xu Lang. First time's awkward, second time's familiar."

"Meet a few more times, and who knows—we might even have a child." Xu Chen: "…" What the hell? We just met and you're already thinking about kids?

Stay far away. This must be avoided at all costs.

He bared his teeth: "Uh, Snake Emperor, if you don't mind… could you give me some blood?"

"Really, just give me some blood and I'll leave—won't disturb your civil war at all." The crowd twitched—man, you're dreaming. Hearing this, Long She and Teng She roared: "How dare you say that right in front of us?"

"Even if the Snake Emperor lets you pass, we won't let you take a single step!"

*Whoosh! * *Whoosh! * *Whoosh! *

In the instant they finished speaking, countless Spiritual Qi snake tails appeared around Xu Chen.

In an instant, under Xu Chen's dazed gaze, the tails wrapped him tightly.

The next second, the tails retracted—and Xu Chen was pulled straight to the side of the Heavenly Snake Empress.

Now, Xu Chen stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Heavenly Snake Empress, becoming the center of all attention.

Below, over six hundred thousand members of the Heavenly Snake Tribe and powerful figures from every faction stared at the two.

Xu Chen grimaced—he hadn't expected the Empress to actually drag him over.

He hadn't sensed any danger, so he hadn't resisted.

Now that he was here, he might as well get some blood.

He rubbed his hands together, unashamedly: "Say, Snake Emperor, would you mind…?"

The Snake Empress gazed at him with sultry eyes: "You say it, and I won't mind anything."

The crowd twitched—damn, right before Xu Chen, she'd gone from "this Empress" to "I."

The overwhelming malice vanished, replaced entirely by tender affection.

Fuck, why don't we have women like this?!

Xu Chen grinned: "Nothing much—I just want you to give me some blood." He'd only come here to follow the plot.

But if he could score free resurrection blood?

【48】 Why not take it?
