Because the white and green women had their heads down and their faces were obscured, Zu An sighed. Their figures were slender and beautiful, but unfortunately, all the snake people here had gaping mouths. Even if their figures were good, their faces would still be creepy.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo said softly, "Please rise, everyone, there's no need for such formalities."
Many snake people stood up, and Bai Qing and the other two women also raised their heads. Zu An was stunned. Instead of cracks, they all had cherry-like mouths and were quite pretty. Although they were not as stunning as Yu Yanluo, they were still lovely and charming. In particular, their youthful and innocent aura made it hard for people to feel any ill will towards them.
At this moment, Bai and Qing also looked at him curiously. They were usually proud of their beauty, and when they heard from their clansmen that their clan leader was as beautiful as a fairy, they were somewhat skeptical. But when they saw him today, they found that he was even more beautiful than the rumors said, and they couldn't help but be convinced.
At the same time, I'm very curious about who this person standing next to the clan leader is.
He and the clan chief were standing close together, suggesting they had a very close relationship.
Moreover, judging from his clothes and appearance, he seems to be human.
He was indeed handsome and extraordinary; none of the young men of the snake clan could match him.
It was the girl in white who was the first to come to her senses: "Xiao Bai (Xiao Qing) greets the clan leader. We have come to welcome the clan leader back on the orders of our respective grandfathers."
Yu Yanluo nodded lightly: "Thank you for your trouble, ladies."
At this moment, Xingnu said indignantly, "Elder Bai and Elder Qing are really busy with many things every day. It's really difficult to see them."
Yu Yanlu glared at her: "Star Slave!"
Although he was ostensibly giving a reprimand, he didn't actually mean to blame anyone.
One plays the good cop, and the other plays the bad cop.
The girl named Xiaobai said, "Reporting to the clan leader, our grandfather originally intended to come in person, but unfortunately an envoy from the demon royal court arrived, so they had to stay in the clan to receive him. We hope the clan leader will not take offense."
Zuan, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. From the beginning, these people had been very respectful, without the slightest arrogance. They didn't seem like powerful ministers at all, which was quite different from what Xingnu had described at the beginning.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo asked curiously, "An envoy from the demon royal court? What brings you here?"
The demon race is different from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The various races only nominally respect the Demon Emperor as the master. The demon royal court does not have much control over the local areas. Sending envoys like this is something that may not happen even once every few decades.
"We don't know the specifics, but we do know that the envoy was quite arrogant." The girl named Xiaoqing wrinkled her delicate nose, clearly very dissatisfied.
Yu Yanluo frowned as well, but unfortunately there was too little information to make an accurate judgment: "Let's go back to the clan first."
Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Okay, we'll lead the way for the clan leader... Clan leader, you're so beautiful... Clan leader, how come your skin is so good? How do you take care of it?"
The endless stream of problems along the way left Yu Yanluo both amused and exasperated, but her liveliness made it difficult for her to dislike her.
Zuan was marveling at how socially adept this girl was, but the innocent-looking girl next to him was more like a quiet and beautiful young woman, making him feel more at ease.
To everyone's surprise, the little white creature tilted its head and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Are you human?"
“Yes,” Zuan replied with a smile.
"It's rare to see humans here in the snake tribe. I've seen some human slaves at auctions in other big cities with my grandfather before, but none of them were as good-looking as you," Xiaobai sighed.
Zuan was speechless: "Okay, I'll take that as a compliment."
Xiao Bai glanced at Yu Yanluo again, then lowered her voice and leaned close to him: "What's your relationship with the clan leader? You seem to be very close."
Zu An thought that Yu Yanluo didn't mind showing their concern for each other, so he thought it would be good to use her to spread the word and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble in the future: "I am her man."
Xiao Bai looked as if she had just realized something: "Oh, so he's the clan leader's male concubine."
Zuan: "???"
Could it be that in the snake language, "man" and "male concubine" mean the same thing?
After confirming the relationship between Zuan and Yu Yanluo, Xiaobai lost interest in Zuan and soon started talking to Yu Yanluo with her sister Xiaoqing.
Yu Yanluo was initially somewhat dissatisfied with Elders Bai and Qing, but she found it hard to dislike these two adorable young girls.
Zuan was happy to have some free time and observed his surroundings along the way.
The convoy has now left the forbidden mountain area of the snake clan, and there seem to be villages along the way.
The houses along the way were quite different from those of the humans; they seemed to be more like caves built of earth.
Every household has planted many flowers, trees, and shrubs, which, perhaps due to the snakes' nature, makes them feel especially safe in these shelters.
Upon hearing of the clan chief's return, countless snake villagers rushed out to greet him, eager to catch a glimpse of his beautiful face.
Zaun noticed that many of these snake people resembled lizardmen, with bulging muscles and a powerful appearance, and there were quite a few of them.
Judging from the situation, this should be a relatively low-level existence among the snake people, engaged in some warrior-like and heavy physical labor.
There are also some who are slit-mouthed men and women. Although they have gotten rid of their half-snake, half-human appearance, some snake-like features still remain on their faces.
As for the clansmen that Yu Yanluo brought out from Yunzhong County, they should be high-ranking members of the snake clan, since apart from their vertical pupils, they are no different from normal humans.
Even more advanced are those like Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, and Xingnu, who can even conceal their vertical pupils, making them appear flawless.
The road was filled with the cheers of the snake people; clearly, the return of their king was a cause for celebration.
