Cao Xin Yin spoke with certainty, like an old swindler.

Hu San listened with doubt and a hint of disbelief.

He revered Snake Lord, but the idea of a snake growing wings and soaring through the heavens like a bird was simply too absurd.

Cao Xin Yin glanced at Hu San and continued with a smile, "I have foreseen that Snake Lord's strength has greatly increased, allowing him to soar through the skies. However, in a few days, a powerful enemy will arrive. Of course, Snake Lord will turn misfortune into good fortune and obtain a treasure."

Cao Xin Yin wore a mysterious smile.

Weren't the protagonists in novels always like this? Every time their strength increased, some ignorant fool would come seeking revenge, only to be slapped in the face and have their treasures plundered.

Across from him.

Hu San was stunned. Concerned about Snake Lord, he hurriedly inquired about the details, but Cao Xin Yin only said, "Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed," and refused to elaborate.

This vague response only made Hu San feel that Cao Xin Yin was extraordinary. His gaze toward him became more earnest and respectful.

"By the way, Mr. Cao, what about that pig-like little girl who's always with you? I think her name was... Han Xiaoya. Why haven't I seen her?" Hu San asked curiously.

Cao Xin Yin's face turned sorrowful. "Recently, people have been stealing pigs at night. She went missing last night. I'm still looking for her, but I haven't found her yet."

Hu San frowned upon hearing this.

Xichuan Town was experiencing a food shortage, and some people had begun hunting in secret. Those born under the signs of the Ox, Sheep, Pig, Rooster, and Rabbit had been living in fear, afraid to venture out at night.

"After the Pig Zodiac Secret Realm opens, those born under the sign of the Pig who survive will emerge with considerable strength. If your pig girl was really stolen, it definitely wasn't by an ordinary person."

Hu San analyzed, then roared, "Someone! Immediately order the Dog Hall to investigate Han Xiaoya's whereabouts! Anyone who provides a clue will be rewarded with two jin of Demon King meat!"

"Yes!"

A Dog Hall subordinate was immediately tempted.

Cao Xin Yin gratefully bowed upon seeing this, arching his chicken wings forward in a cupping gesture.

Hu San smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. Mr. Cao, please take care of yourself!"

As he spoke, he reached behind him and took a bag of Demon King meat from a Dog Hall member, hanging it around Cao Xin Yin's chicken neck.

"This is ten jin of Demon King meat, a small token of my sincerity. Please accept it with a smile!"

Hu San had a sincere smile on his face.

Cao Xin Yin was excited. He could smell the fragrance of the Demon King meat through the bag. It was like a spiritual elixir, causing his blood to surge with just a whiff.

His chicken eyes quickly glanced at the opening of the bag, and his pupils shrank.

"Pure lean meat! It's all lean meat!"

Cao Xin Yin was moved. He looked deeply at Hu San, surprised that the other was treating him so well.

Everyone knew that while Demon King meat was highly nourishing, pure lean meat was the best. It was high-quality meat.

The laborers building Snake King City ate broth made from fatty meat every day, and even they only got it three times a month. Yet here he was, being given ten jin of pure lean Demon King meat directly by Hu San.

Moreover, this was the third time in the past three months that Hu San had given him Demon King meat. That was why he had evolved so quickly, now an eight-tailed Danghu chicken, strutting around with his chicken tail held high.

"Thank you, Hall Master Hu!"

Cao Xin Yin arched his wings in a cupping gesture and gave a sincere thanks, glancing at Hu San before mysteriously saying, "Hall Master Hu, your yintang is dark, indicating an impending bloody disaster. However, the noble aura between your brows suggests that you will survive and be blessed with good fortune. In the coming days, you should serve Snake Lord diligently, as good fortune may befall you."

After Cao Xin Yin finished speaking, he once again arched his chicken wings forward in a cupping gesture and bowed. With the Demon King meat slung around his neck, he turned and walked away.

Hu San snapped out of it and hurriedly returned a cupping gesture with his front paws. Watching Cao Xin Yin's departing figure, his heart was filled with excitement. "Good fortune will befall me? I will survive and be blessed with good fortune?!"

Hu San pondered.

After a moment, he instructed a Dog Hall subordinate behind him, "Mr. Cao's woman is gone, and he must be feeling lonely and empty at night.

"Find a beautiful, colorful hen and send her to Mr. Cao. Remember to dress the hen's legs in the sexiest stockings. Go now!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate left immediately.

Wearing stockings was a new trend in Xichuan Town. Even after transforming into animals, fashion-conscious women who could no longer wear clothes still wore the stretchy stockings.

The most beautifully dressed was a white tiger in the High-Tech Zone. She wore stockings on her hind legs, walking through the streets like a model on a red carpet, displaying an astonishing charm that left many sleepless.

Hu San had heard of her long ago and had repeatedly invited the white tiger to the Heavenly Snake Gang to wear them for Snake Lord, but he had never succeeded.

At that moment, Liu Youshan's voice came from the distance, filled with urgency.

"Hall Master Hu, have you notified Snake Lord yet? The Snake Queen Consort has laid eggs! Each one is three meters big, full, round, and lustrous! After seeing them, Daoist Beiliu exclaimed that a king species had descended into the world!"

Liu Youshan excitedly waved his rat paws.

Getting the black silk triplets to persevere in their pregnancy and give birth to snake eggs was his idea. Now, it depended on Snake Lord's attitude. If Snake Lord acknowledged these eggs, he would have performed a great service.

After all, these were Snake Lord's offspring!

Hu San listened with envy and admiration, saying, "Congratulations, Hall Master Liu, on achieving another great feat! Snake Lord will surely reward you handsomely."

"Don't worry about Snake Lord's side. I've already sent Huang An on horseback to notify Snake Lord. Snake Lord should be here soon."

Mist Forest.

Huang An arrived on the mutated, beast-like Ferghana horse ridden by Han Yong.

He saw the massive mountain of flesh, thousands of meters in size, in the forest. He also saw the flowing blood on the ground, floating the fallen leaves, a scene of gore and horror, like a human hell.

Huang An and Han Yong trembled in fear. They looked around, but saw only flowing mist and cold, eerie air. Snake Lord was nowhere to be seen, but the snake scale imprints on the ground, each several dozen meters in size, were terrifying.

"Snake Lord, Snake Lord, the Snake Queen Consort has laid eggs! The hall master asks you to come home!"

Huang An shouted loudly, his voice echoing far and wide in the silent forest, but there was no response.

He shouted a dozen times, but still no one answered.

Han Yong hesitated and said, "Could Snake Lord have left this place? The Mist Forest is so big. Maybe he's somewhere else."

As he spoke, he saw a low-lying area in front of him, where a lot of blood had gathered. He lowered his head and sniffed it, his eyes lighting up. It smelled quite fragrant, and he secretly took a sip.

Instantly, a surge of heat entered his throat, causing his blood to surge. He felt like he had eaten Demon King meat. He was shocked and excited, saying, "Brother An, quickly taste the blood on the ground. It tastes even better than Demon King meat."

Huang An heard this and hurriedly jumped off his horse, licking his dog tongue and taking a sip of the blood. His eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "Indeed, this blood is excellent. It's even sweeter and more nourishing than the blood that seeps out of Demon King meat."

"The blood that Snake Lord leaves behind is a treasure!"

Immediately.

The horse and dog lay on the ground, gulping down the blood, swallowing even the leaves and dirt. Instantly, their blood surged, as if they had taken a great tonic.

In fact, the Tai Sui meatball was a Demon King, and a very powerful, thousand-year-old demon at that. Its cultivation age and bloodline were stronger than the previous Great Snake Demon King, and its flesh and blood were even more nourishing.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, the mist in the forest surged, and a terrifying gale swept through, causing the treetops of the vast forest to sway and the fallen leaves on the ground to fly. Huang An and Han Yong could not stand still, and their fur bristled.

The two were horrified, knowing that Snake Lord had arrived. They hurriedly shouted, "Snake Lord, it's us, your own people!"

They were afraid of being eaten, so they quickly identified themselves, because people who had come to deliver messages in the past had been eaten for failing to do so.

The ferocity of the King Cobra was not just talk.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the gale in the void subsided slightly, and a huge shadow appeared and disappeared in the mist, spiraling down from the void with wings. The tail could not be seen in its entirety in the mist.

Huang An and Han Yong looked at the behemoth circling in the void, their eyes full of fear and sluggishness. They trembled and said, "Snake Lord is flying. Snake Lord has wings..."

"What is it?" A dignified voice rang out in the void, the scarlet, blood-lake eyes opening and closing, naturally exuding a cold, fierce light.

"Reporting to Snake Lord, the hall master asked us to notify you that the Snake Queen Consort has laid eggs. They are your children..." Huang An said hurriedly, his voice trembling.
