Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy
Chapter 527 - 519: She Asked Me to Be Her Concubine!
CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 519: SHE ASKED ME TO BE HER CONCUBINE!
The imagination is rich, but reality is stark.
Qian Qi ventured alone into Lan Water Spirit Lake, only to see the Emperor Python King and its subordinates, along with a variety of advanced snake beasts, were huddled at the feet of Lanshan Python King, shivering under the pressure of the Lanshan snake horde.
Seeing Qian Qi, the Emperor Python King, who was initially crestfallen, suddenly seemed to find its pillar of support. It staggered to push aside the snake guards on both sides and rushed into Qian Qi’s embrace.
"Oh Contractor! This snake is shameless! Not only did she snatch away a married serpent, but she also wants to make me her concubine!!!" The Emperor Python King cried pitifully.
Qian Qi: ?
Can you speak properly and stop using shocking words like Moyu? Always blurting out outrageous things?
Among the hordes of pythons, the Lanshan Python King coiled upward, its cold snake eyes watched down on Qian Qi as if to say: it’s just her?
Qian Qi quickly waved his hands to clarify, "Not me! I’m human, not a snake!"
The Lanshan Python King let out a slight snort, clearly not regarding the weak and fragile Qian Qi as a threat. It lifted its head, gazing at the Blue Moon in the sky with deep reverence.
The Blue Moon was especially round tonight, its moonlight casting a faint blue-silver sheen on the surface of Lan Water Spirit Lake—extremely beautiful and picturesque.
The Emperor Python King whispered to Qian Qi, "What is she doing?"
Qian Qi glanced at it indifferently, "On a full moon night, Lanshan Python engages in mating behavior with other snake beasts within Lan Water Spirit Lake, with a chance to evolve stronger snake beast genes. It’s probably because the Poisonous Emperor Python has venom capabilities and strong endurance in battle, making you all targets for the Lanshan Python."
The Emperor Python King was shocked, "She wants to be with me?"
Qian Qi couldn’t help but hold his forehead: "Can you not be so crude in your speech?"
The Emperor Python King: "But you humans all talk like this."
Qian Qi: "... learn something good."
Returning to the topic, the Emperor Python King asked puzzledly, "There are many snake beasts with venom and endurance, why did she only tell me to be her concubine?"
"Do I have some unique qualities?" The Emperor Python King couldn’t help but feel a little smug.
Qian Qi chuckled, "Maybe she thinks you have tough skin. Snakes are inherently promiscuous, and while Lanshan Python may lack endurance in battle, it’s quite ruthless in reproduction... most snake beasts can’t withstand it, ultimately dying in Lan Water Spirit Lake."
She looked deeply at the Spirit Lake, "Otherwise, do you think this Spirit Lake enhances the physique of magic beasts just by absorbing natural essence?"
The Emperor Python King shuddered at the thought of the snake beast corpses buried beneath the beautiful Lan Water Spirit Lake.
"What are those blue beads they spit out?"
"Oh, that." Qian Qi shrugged, crossing her arms, "Dowry, those are Spiritual Pearls formed in Lan Water Spirit Lake, placing them beside beast eggs can greatly enhance the initial combat power of the baby beast within. If you accept them, it implies you’ve agreed to the other’s courtship, of course, if you die, those blue beads will return to the Lanshan Python."
"So wicked!" Upon hearing this, the Emperor Python King couldn’t help but spit.
"Great King, what do we do now?" Other Emperor Pythons whispered nervously.
"I don’t want to die here!"
"I haven’t married a wife yet! I just want a Poisonous Emperor Python wife!"
"Oh Contractor, please think of a way!"
The Emperor Pythons all looked expectantly at Qian Qi.
Since she dared to come alone, she must have already figured out how to escape, right?
Qian Qi slowly revealed a smile, "To be honest, to deal with the Lanshan Python, I came up with two plans."
"The first plan is to plant Magic Plants to deal with Lanshan Python, fight a war of attrition, slowly poisoning it, then use another Magic Potion to shed all its snake scales."
"As for the other plan..." Qian Qi looked at the Poisonous Emperor Pythons, "it’s to sacrifice your beauty..."
The Emperor Pythons were shocked and began retreating.
"If you had obediently listened to me and kept a low profile, you wouldn’t have ended up in this situation." Qian Qi shook his head and sighed, "Now we have no choice but to execute the second plan."
"No!" the Emperor Python King cried, "I haven’t even found my wife yet! If she knows I’ve become a concubine for another snake, she’ll surely kill me!"
Qian Qi looked up with interest, "Your Poisonous Emperor Python tribe is monogamous?"
"No." The Emperor Python King proudly said, "My wife is the strongest snake beast among the Poisonous Emperor Pythons!"
Qian Qi: "So you’re the first wife?"
Emperor Python King: ...
Qian Qi: "The second wife?"
Emperor Python King: "..."
Qian Qi: "No way, no way, are you the third wife?"
Emperor Python King: "I think we should first discuss how to leave here."
Qian Qi: "Oh, so you didn’t even have a title."
The Emperor Python King, frustrated, said, "What do you know! My wife dotes on me! Only I have carried her child!"
Qian Qi was startled, "What? You’re pregnant?"
"No..." Emperor Python King slipped up, "My wife only carried my child, the higher the level the magic beast, the harder it is to have children, can you imagine how favored I am in front of her!"
"Then how did you end up separated from the strongest Snake King? If you were so close, she should’ve been in that instance as well."
Emperor Python King: "..."
"Moreover," Qian Qi rubbed his chin, "you have an easy-breezy constitution, right? You could definitely make Lanshan Python King pregnant, and then you could become her most favored concubine, whisper sweet nothings, and just for conceiving a child, she’d award you with a hundred or so snake scales..."
The Emperor Python King nearly crushed its own teeth, "Human, are you really so ruthless?!"
Qian Qi sighed, "As expected, you’re afraid you can’t withstand Lanshan Python King’s vicious demands, so you’ve been refusing, right?"
"N-not at all!" The Emperor Python King was on the verge of tears. It looked towards Lan Water Spirit Lake, where the Lanshan Python bit deeply into snake beasts who had "accepted dowries," their massive bodies tightly coiled around the vital points of the other snakes, not allowing them to escape. In extreme cases, a dozen Lanshan Pythons ravaged a single snake beast, and it trembled in a quivering voice, "I just refuse to submit to her tyranny!"
"Oh King!" Seeing that scene in the Spirit Lake, the Emperor Pythons also trembled with fear, clutching the Emperor Python King closely, "If you truly refuse, we will risk our lives to send you out!"
"Sob, sob, how could I be so selfish! Just as long as I can save your lives, a little chastity is nothing—"
A group of demon snakes hugged together, crying out their emotions to the heavens.
Qian Qi saw them all crying like this and felt they’d learned their lesson; then she spoke up, "Alright, I’ll get you all out of here."
The Emperor Python King stopped crying, surprised, looking at Qian Qi with joy.
"However, the scene just now, I’ve recorded it," Qian Qi waved the Light Brain on her wrist, "from now on, you must listen to me, or I’ll send the video to Little Poison, to show it the dark history of its father and uncles."
Emperor Pythons: !!!
How wicked is this human! She’s even more vicious than the Lanshan Python King!
