BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 528: The Migration of the Serpent People

"Haven't you forgotten the plight of our Serpent People? As the leader of the Meisa Clan, shouldn't you stay and help at a time like this?" Mobas continued.

"Yue Mei, no matter whether we can successfully negotiate with the Jia Ma Empire or not, your people will need you in the final migration!"

The Serpent leader Yin Shi and several others also chimed in.

Hearing these words, a flicker of hesitation crossed Yue Mei's eyes, and her hand, which was about to grasp the transformation pill, slowly retracted.

Throughout this process, Queen Medusa remained silent. She should have taken immediate action against Liu Ling, the human who had intruded into the vicinity of the temple.

However, Queen Medusa's memory of the past was particularly vivid, and the powerful figure standing behind Liu Ling filled her with great apprehension. If she were to harm Liu Ling, the entire Serpent People might be annihilated.

Moreover, Queen Medusa did not wish to interfere in the personal relationship between Liu Ling and Yue Mei.

Even though the Serpent People were currently in a critical period and Yue Mei's presence would be of great help, Queen Medusa did not issue any orders for her to stay. Instead, she allowed Yue Mei to make her own choice.

"Yue Mei, what's wrong? What is the Serpent People negotiating with the Jia Ma Empire?" Seeing Yue Mei's hand retract, Liu Ling quickly asked.

"Liu Ling, our Serpent People want to leave this barren desert and migrate to the Demon Beast Mountains. We need to pass through the Jia Ma Empire's fortress to do so. If the Jia Ma Empire does not agree, we will have no choice but to cross the vast desert to reach the other side of the Tagor Desert. Along the way, we will face many hardships, and my people need me for now!" Yue Mei explained to Liu Ling with an apologetic tone.

"Pass through the Jia Ma Empire's fortress to migrate to the Demon Beast Mountains?"

Upon hearing Yue Mei's words clearly, Liu Ling's originally tense face instantly lit up with a smile.

"Haha, Yue Mei, it's just about borrowing a path to the Demon Beast Mountains, right? I agree!" Liu Ling responded nonchalantly with a smile.

"You agree, but will the people of the Jia Ma Empire agree?" Yue Mei asked curiously, hearing Liu Ling's laughter.

At this moment, even Queen Medusa, who had been indifferent, couldn't help but focus her attention on Liu Ling.

Queen Medusa believed that Liu Ling had the capability to help. After all, a world-class strong man stood behind Liu Ling, and that strong man was the key factor troubling Queen Medusa.

Without the interference of Liu Ling's backer, it would have been much easier for the Serpent People to leave the desert and live in more fertile lands.

However, the strong man behind Liu Ling was like a mountain pressing down on Queen Medusa, making her, even with her current cultivation at the peak of Dou Ancestor, not dare to act rashly.

Now, seeing that Liu Ling intended to help the Serpent People, Queen Medusa felt a glimmer of hope.

"Of course it counts. As long as I speak to the royal family, they will give me this face!" Liu Ling nodded confidently.

"Really? If that's the case, that's wonderful!" Yue Mei was very excited after hearing Liu Ling's words. At that moment, she couldn't help but want to tightly embrace the confident young man in front of her.

Seeing Yue Mei's happiness, Liu Ling felt very happy as well. Immediately, he once again extended the transformation pill, pretending to look aggrieved and said, "Yue Mei, can you take the transformation pill now?"

"Sure!"

This time, without any hesitation, Yue Mei quickly took the transformation pill from Liu Ling's hand.

"Do you really intend to help our Serpent People?" After Yue Mei took the transformation pill, Queen Medusa, who had been silent, suddenly spoke to Liu Ling, seeking confirmation.

"Of course, but..." Liu Ling paused for a moment as he spoke.

"Go ahead, is there some condition? If you want Yue Mei to leave with you, as long as she is willing, I will not stop her. If there are any other conditions, you can name them. As long as they are within a certain scope, we will consider them," Queen Medusa said, frowning slightly.

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken. I, Liu Ling, would never use Yue Mei as a bargaining chip under any circumstances. If she does not wish to leave with me, I will not force her. However, if she is willing to go with me, no one can stop us!" Liu Ling spoke with unwavering determination.

Hearing Liu Ling's words, tears welled up in Yue Mei's eyes. No matter how hard she tried to suppress her emotions, the happiness in her eyes was unmistakable.

"What I was about to say concerns the Serpent People's migration to the Demon Beast Mountains!"

"Although that area of the Demon Beast Mountains does not belong to the Jia Ma Empire, there are some people from the empire who live nearby. Most of them are mercenaries. Once they know the Serpent People have moved there, they should not go to that area again. I need Your Majesty to promise that the Serpent People will never take the initiative to cross the border and attack the ordinary humans living at the foot of the Demon Beast Mountains!" Liu Ling continued, adding a few more words.

After listening to Liu Ling's words, Queen Medusa remained silent for a second before responding with an extremely serious expression, "I, the Queen of the Serpent People, swear by my soul and the name of my position that if the Jia Ma Empire allows our people to pass through and migrate to the Demon Beast Mountains, the Serpent People will never take the initiative to harm the people of the Jia Ma Empire! If I break this oath, may my soul burst..."

Queen Medusa's oath was very precise. She only promised not to take the initiative against the people of the Jia Ma Empire, without saying that they would never harm them at all. If there were people from the Jia Ma Empire who harbored恶意and harmed the Serpent People, the Serpent People's retaliation would not be a violation of the oath.

"I, Mobas, swear by my soul and the name of the Serpent Tribe Chief that if the Jia Ma Empire allows my people to migrate, we will never take the initiative to harm the people of the Jia Ma Empire..."

"I, Yin Shi, swear by my soul and the name of the Serpent Tribe Chief..."

At that moment, after Queen Medusa had sworn, the seven Serpent leaders around her also made solemn vows one after another.

Seeing how straightforward the Serpent Queen and the other leaders were, Liu Ling also spoke very frankly, "Good! Since you have all made your vows, I will not let you down. I will go back to the Jia Ma capital and talk to the royal family about this matter. You should organize your people and prepare for the migration!"
