Upon hearing this, Qinglin let out a very soft, cold laugh: "It's a wonder you still remember."
The next moment, the chilling aura at the level of a Dou Sheng accurately froze the spot where Yao Huang was sitting.
The commotion startled Yao Ming and Yao Huang, leaving them somewhat bewildered. Qing Lin was now truly able to suppress them with her strength. Yao Huang was utterly astonished; he couldn't fathom Qing Lin's thoughts at all.
"I didn't freeze you immediately so you could tell me what you intend to do today!?"
Yao Huang raised his head, his eyes gleaming with an almost obsessive light: "Your Majesty, everything Yao Huang has done is for you, for the Nine Netherworld Python Clan!"
"For my sake, alright, alright, continue!"
"I know that Xiao Yan's friendship with you has been a great help to you. But your contributions to him over the years have probably already repaid his kindness many times over. Didn't we already put everything behind us when we went to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan back then?"
"You risked everything to rescue him from the ancient clan, you could even say you staked the entire Nine Netherworld Python clan on him. Such a selfless sacrifice, even with an immeasurable debt of gratitude, isn't it enough to repay? We're even now!"
As she poured out her heart, Yao Huang grew increasingly agitated: "You did say you would fulfill Xiao Yan's request, but he didn't even consult us about the position of Alliance Leader. The Alliance Leader should be chosen by the most capable person. Your strength far surpasses Xiao Yan's, a fact he himself acknowledges. Only if you take the position of Alliance Leader will everyone be truly convinced!"
"To put it another way, even if you still have feelings for Xiao Yan, you should handle this matter officially."
Despite Yao Huang's lengthy explanation, Qing Lin's icy expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of relenting. Clearly, Yao Huang's answer failed to satisfy her or quell Qing Lin's anger.
Yao Huang gritted her teeth: "Moreover, Xiao Yan is currently preoccupied with many women, making him an unsuitable choice. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider. You may toy with him for a while, but there's no need to develop genuine feelings, much less risk your future..."
After Yao Huang finished speaking, Qing Lin was truly enraged. His previously calm face now showed undisguised anger. Qing Lin stood up abruptly, and the pressure of a five-star Dou Sheng level aura pressed down on Yao Huang like the might of heaven.
This kind of pressure was completely beyond what Yao Huang, who had just entered the Dou Sheng level, could withstand. He was forced to the ground, unable to move. The terrifying cold penetrated his body, almost freezing his already extremely cold blood.
"Idiot! You almost ruined everything!"
After that brief sentence, Qinglin glanced at Yaoming, who seemed completely detached from the situation, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yao Ming had long since suppressed his smile and adopted a submissive posture in front of Qing Lin: "Yao Ming will naturally obey the Empress's orders, but Elder Yao Huang's relationship with you is quite special, and I believe that he has your support in his actions."
"I can tell you right now that my attitude towards Xiao Yan will never change. It has always been this: whatever he wants, you must satisfy him at all costs and without any compromise."
"Yes, sir!"
Even as he lay on the ground, Yao Huang remained undeterred, desperately pleading, "Your Majesty, you mustn't let a small matter cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture. So many members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan are waiting for you. Becoming the Alliance Leader is a way of repaying their support!"
"Support? Your support means absolutely nothing to me!"
At this moment, Qing Lin deliberately relaxed the pressure on Yao Huang, as if trying to make him give up, and said, "You were able to reach the Dou Sheng level, and Yao Huang was able to recover from betrayal and get back to where he is now, all because of me!"
"If you're unwilling to support us, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan has plenty of members, or we don't even need the Nine Netherworld Python Clan at all!"
Immediately, a lively blue light appeared in Qinglin's eyes. Now, she was able to fully control her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.
Several strange, seven-colored python phantoms flashed out, but their auras were completely different from those of the Nine Netherworld Python clan. As fellow magical beasts, Yao Ming and Yao Huang immediately felt the pressure.
Yao Ming had already recognized its origin: "This is actually the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?"
The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is also a top-tier serpentine magical beast, its bloodline only slightly weaker than the Nine Netherworld Python. Most importantly, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python can continue to evolve. However, this type of magical beast was already nearly extinct on the continent; a true Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python hadn't been seen for many years. For some unknown reason, it has now appeared in Qing Lin's hands.
Yao Ming instantly realized that the empress before him was no puppet. Everything she possessed was indeed derived from her own strength. Originally, Yao Ming had somewhat believed that the Nine Netherworld Python and Qing Lin were complementary, but now it seemed he had been too optimistic.
The demon in front of them was just a lucky opportunist who mistakenly attributed Qinglin's success to his own efforts.
The moment Yao Huang saw the projection of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, he knew that all his plans had probably failed.
"Submit to me, obey me, and you will receive sufficient benefits!"
"Don't even think about positions of power; I don't care about those at all. Just be loyal and improve your abilities, and that will be the best reward I can give you. If you don't need it, you can leave at any time; I don't care!"
Yao Ming also knelt on one knee, bowing his head in submission, and said, "Yao Ming swears to serve Your Majesty to the death, and so does the Nine Netherworld Python clan. Your Majesty can rest assured!"
At this moment, Yao Huang felt no pressure and knelt before Qing Lin. However, he didn't utter a sound immediately, because his eyes were full of confusion. He originally thought he had calculated Qing Lin's intentions, believing that Xiao Yan was only important to him because of a debt of gratitude. He hadn't expected that he had completely misjudged the situation.
Now that Qinglin has come here in person, everything he had envisioned has been overturned. All his ideas about himself and the future have vanished.
"Elder Yaohuang is too old to continue holding such an important position. After this, when you return to the clan, hand over all matters to Yaoming."
Finally, Qinglin drew a conclusion regarding today's events.
The two people who heard this felt completely different. Yao was terrified and disoriented, as if he had lost his soul. He knew without a doubt that his misjudgment this time was absolutely fatal.
"Yao Ming, my training session is over. The spot for the next sparring partner is now entirely yours."
