Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 206

When Yue Mei, Yin Shi, and the others saw that You Ruo had easily defeated Mo Bas, a peak Dou Wang, with just her aura, they all showed surprised expressions.

"Your Majesty, it seems your strength has made a great breakthrough in the past two years."

Finally, Yin Shi took the initiative to step forward and spoke to You Ruo.

Upon hearing Yin Shi speak, You Ruo nodded faintly, then addressed the crowd, saying, "When I returned, I already heard from Yue Mei about your situation over the past two years. To be honest, I'm very disappointed!"

Upon hearing You Ruo's words, the leaders all wore unpleasant expressions, but their respect for the Queen prevented them from uttering any rebuttal.

You Ruo glanced at them and continued indifferently, "The Snake People have always wanted to leave the desert and find a place suitable for our survival, but in the past two years, your actions have allowed the people of the Head-Gama Empire to run wild over you without daring to fight back. I don't know what you've been using your strength for."

“If you are not suited to be leaders, tell me as soon as possible. There are plenty of people in the snake people who are capable of it.”

You Ruo was so angry because when she heard Yue Mei's report, she learned that a year ago, the Yan Ci tribe had invaded the territory of a powerful human, but the human had left unharmed, and many members of the snake-people had died. This greatly angered You Ruo.

They've come to bully us right at our doorstep, but surprisingly, no one dares to fight back.

Upon hearing You Ruo's words, one of the leaders wanted to refute that all of this was an order given by the four elders, but he opened his mouth but did not utter a sound.

Actually, they did retaliate at the time, but the other side was too cunning and evaded their reconnaissance, which allowed them to escape.

This is also what frustrates them.

Because the Queen was not in the tribe, and the four elders did not come out of the world but only protected the snake people's fire in the Holy City, there was no high-end combat power. Even if the leaders wanted to seek an explanation from the humans, they lacked the confidence and could only let it go in the end.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, You Ruo nodded silently, then changed the subject and said, "Of course, I know you lack confidence because I wasn't in the clan, but now that I'm back, the Jia Ma Empire must give us an explanation. Next, have the people in the clan prepare, because we might have to go to war at any time."

Upon hearing You Ruo's words, the eight leaders all showed excited expressions and quickly nodded in agreement.

Now that Her Majesty the Queen has broken through to the Dou Zong level, it is time to lead the Snake People out of the Tagor Desert and find a suitable habitat for them.

Xiao Fan sat to the side, quietly watching You Ruo's performance. To be honest, Xiao Fan had only seen You Ruo's queen-like demeanor when they first met. After that, You Ruo's queenly aura gradually disappeared when she was by Xiao Fan's side, and Xiao Fan had almost forgotten that she had such a domineering side.

Sitting aloof on the high throne, he exuded an air of nobility and magnificence, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay, which captivated Xiao Fan.

"Your Majesty, may I ask who this gentleman is...?"

After the main business was over, Yin Shi, who was in charge, looked at Xiao Fan with curiosity and asked You Ruo.

Upon hearing Yin Shi's question, everyone turned their curious gazes toward Xiao Fan, wondering why Her Majesty the Queen would bring a human man back to her tribe, and why he was acting so presumptuously here.

Xiao Fan was interrupted by Yin Shi's question and was lost in thought. He glanced at the eight commanders below who were staring at him, and his eyes met Yue Mei's. He then remembered what the Fourth Elder had said.

Xiao Fan quickly looked away, praying that You Ruo hadn't seen this scene; otherwise, she would probably make sarcastic remarks about him again.

When You Ruo heard Yin Shi's words, her eyes flickered involuntarily, but she quickly concealed her emotions, her calm voice resounding.

"He is my future husband."

“Wh…what!?”

"Your Majesty must be joking, how could that be..."

"Absurd, utterly absurd! How could I, the Queen of the Snake-People, possibly choose a human as my mate..."

Youruo's words stirred up a huge wave in the hearts of the eight leaders, and even Yue Mei was dumbfounded.

Although she had sensed that the human accompanying Her Majesty the Queen was no ordinary person when they met yesterday, Yue Mei dared not even consider that possibility. How could the dignified Queen of the Snake-People Clan, now a powerful Dou Zong, appear to be a man in his early twenties?!

"No! I don't agree!"

Just as everyone was stunned, a loud shout rang out, interrupting their thoughts.

Following the sound, Mobas spoke up to refute.

"How dare you! What right do you have to discuss my private affairs?"

You Ruo was furious when she saw Mo Bass speak. She slammed her hand on the armrest of her seat and then shouted at Mo Bass.

Hearing You Ruo's rebuke, Mobas's heart trembled, but he stared at You Ruo and forced himself to speak, "Your Majesty, as the leader of our clan, your marriage is not just your own business. The other party is just a lowly human. How is he worthy of you?"

You Ruo looked at Mo Bass and was about to speak when Xiao Fan stood up, signaling You Ruo to let her speak.

"Oh? Since you say I'm not good enough, then what kind of person would be worthy of your Queen?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Mobas glanced disdainfully at Xiao Fan's thin frame and said coldly, "In short, no matter what, a pretty boy like you is absolutely unworthy of Her Majesty the Queen."

In Mobas's view, Xiao Fan was young and thin, and he didn't know if the Queen had taken a liking to him, so he didn't pay any attention to Xiao Fan at all.

Hearing Mobas's words, Xiao Fan did not angrily refute them. Instead, he looked at the other tribal leaders and asked, "What about you? What kind of person do you think is worthy of your Queen?"

Of the eight leaders, apart from Mobas, the other seven looked at each other after hearing Xiao Fan's words, unable to refute him. They could only say on the spot, "To be worthy of our Queen, one's strength, if not exceeding hers, should at least reach the Dou Huang level, right?"

“That’s right. Not only that, his talent and future prospects should far exceed those of ordinary people. He definitely can’t be an ordinary person. At the very least, he should be… yes, at the very least, he should be an alchemist.”

"That's right, and it can't be some low-grade trash, that would be of no help to our Queen. It has to be at least a sixth-grade alchemist to be worthy of our Queen."

Standing on top, Xiao Fan's expression froze as he listened to the various conditions they had added on the spot.

Gentlemen, are you guys actually undercover agents I sent? These conditions seem tailor-made for me, don't they?

When You Ruo, who had been wearing an icy expression, heard the conditions announced by the leaders, she thought the same thing as Xiao Fan. She wanted to laugh, but in order to maintain her persona, she could only keep her composure.

One of the leaders laughed when he saw the stiff expression on Xiao Fan's face. Even Mobas looked arrogant. In their opinion, under such conditions, no matter who Xiao Fan was, it was absolutely impossible for him to meet all these conditions at the same time.

Little did they know that their actions at that moment had blocked their own escape route.

Chapter 301 Proof

Hearing their criteria for choosing a partner, Xiao Fan almost burst out laughing.

Seeing that they were still chattering away and setting requirements, Xiao Fan couldn't help but interrupt them.

"I say... are you looking for spouses for yourselves, or setting mate selection criteria for Your Majesty the Queen?! With such demanding requirements, who do you think could meet them?"

Xiao Fan didn't immediately say that he had met their conditions; instead, he started chatting with them.

"Hmph! What do you know? Her Majesty the Queen is the leader of our Snake-People race. If she can't even meet these requirements, how can she win over the people?"

Yan Ci glanced at Xiao Fan sideways after hearing his words before speaking.

Mobas, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward upon hearing Yan Ci's words and said sarcastically to Xiao Fan, "Although I don't like Yan Ci, he's right this time. If he didn't have the strength, there would probably be many people in the Snake-People who would not accept him."

As the queen of the snake-people, You Ruo possesses both strength and beauty, making her the dream girl of every male snake-person, who all aspire to be that enviable woman...

Even Mobas and Yanci, while following their hearts and remaining loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, did not entirely refrain from fantasizing that they could catch Her Majesty's eye with their outstanding strength.

However, they did not expect that in just two years, the Queen would not only break through to the Dou Zong realm upon her return, but also bring back a human man.

This made them realize that with the Queen having already reached the Dou Zong realm, they had no chance whatsoever. That's why they put forward so many harsh conditions when facing Xiao Fan, trying to block his escape route.

In short... they were jealous!

Xiao Fan did not show the angry expression they expected when he heard Mobas and Yanci's words, which surprised Yanci and Mobas.

"I didn't expect this young man to be so mature despite his youth. He can still talk to us without changing his expression."

Xiao Fan looked at Mobas with a half-smile, crossed his arms, and said, "What if I fulfill the conditions you just mentioned? Would you then not object to my relationship with your Queen?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Mobas revealed a mocking expression. He had thought this kid was shrewd, but it turned out he was just a good-for-nothing who talked nonsense and was full of lies.

"Hehe, if you can meet the conditions we just discussed, I, Mobas, will be the first to agree. Furthermore, anyone who has objections will have to get past me first. However..."

Mobas changed the subject and said to Xiao Fan, "What if you can't do it? Then what do you suggest?"

Xiao Fan maintained his smiling expression, but upon hearing Mobas's words, he said with a serious face, "If I can't fulfill the conditions I just agreed to, you don't need to kick me out. I will leave the Snake-People tribe on my own and will definitely not continue to bother your queen. How about that?"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Mobas immediately agreed as soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, fearing that Her Majesty the Queen sitting on the throne above would object.

However, seeing that the Queen did not speak, Mobas thought that because of Xiao Fan's performance just now, the Queen had seen through his disguise and was completely disappointed in him, which made him even happier.

"Perhaps because I helped the Queen see through this boy's disguise, I might even catch Her Majesty's eye..."

Mobas thought to himself, his gaze towards Xiao Fan growing even more fervent. This kid was truly his benefactor...

Xiao Fan had no idea that Mobas had so many thoughts running through his mind. Seeing Mobas's strange gaze, he frowned and whispered to You Ruo, "Is Mobas an idiot? Why is he looking at people like that?"

"Who knows? Besides, this is my own business. They have no right to interfere. Why make things so complicated?"

You Ruo's cool voice rang in Xiao Fan's mind, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt.

"You are, after all, the queen of the snake people. They are right about one thing: if you can't gain their complete approval and rely on your status for everything, you will never gain the approval of your people."

"Now that I have such a good opportunity, I'll use Mobas and Yanci to prove myself and show them that their queen's judgment is spot on."

Hearing Xiao Fan's explanation, You Ruo felt a warmth in her heart and said softly, "Alright, then you should give it your best, my little man~"

As she finished speaking, You Ruo's voice took on a playful yet alluring quality, sending a shiver down Xiao Fan's spine.

"Don't you know how small you are? Wait until we deal with them, then I'll teach you a lesson..."

Xiao Fan turned his gaze back to Mobas, then said calmly to the group, "Then you'd better watch carefully."

As he spoke, under the watchful eyes of Mobas and the others, Xiao Fan took out an exquisite robe from his storage ring and put it on. Then, he looked at Mobas with a teasing expression.

Mobas had a bad feeling when Xiao Fan confidently took something out of his storage ring.

When he saw Xiao Fan skillfully putting on the alchemist's robe, his expression turned extremely grim. He never imagined that this seemingly effeminate human would actually be a human alchemist.

How is this possible? How could he become a sixth-grade alchemist at such a young age? You must know that in the entire Jia Ma Empire, only Gu He is a sixth-grade alchemist. This kid must be an imposter!

Mobas's gaze swept over Xiao Fan's alchemist robe, and when he saw the pattern on the chest, he almost exclaimed with joy.

The pattern on the chest of Xiao Fan's alchemist robe, around the medicine cauldron, consists of only four wavy lines, which is the mark of a fourth-grade alchemist.

"Hahaha, kid, let's put aside the fact that there's no way to prove whether you stole this alchemist's robe or not. Even if it were yours, you're only qualified as a fourth-grade alchemist. What we were talking about earlier was a sixth-grade alchemist! You're still not qualified!"
