Chapter 195: Serpent Tribe Deacon

"Ms. Ye... Miss Ye?"

After Ye Qi came out of Yao Yingying's room, looking at her graceful waist and her rosy face, all the Yao family members burst into laughter. Even Yao Yingying couldn't help but turn her back and laugh.

"Why can't I just follow her in? Since the Snake People think so highly of Miss Yao, they wouldn't forbid her from bringing even a guard, right?" Ye Qi asked in confusion.

After all, although this makeup covers up the problem perfectly, it still looks a bit awkward. After all, men and women have naturally different temperaments, which cannot be changed by makeup alone.

It's just like Shu'er's every frown and smile can just touch the most touching point in a man's heart. This is why Ye Qi confiscated her sketchbook and asked her to drink less, as it would be easy for her to learn bad habits!

"If it were any other young lady, it might be okay, but my lady..."

"Cough! Cough!"

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of his young lady pretending to cough. Then he realized that he was careless and almost said something he shouldn't have said. He quickly closed his mouth, took a few steps back, and left in shame!

"I've never been to the Snake People Tribe, and I don't know where your friend is being held captive. But one thing I can be sure of is that the Saint will appear at the sacrifice site. It's just that rescuing them will be incredibly difficult!"

"What's the strength of the snake people?" Ye Qi asked

Yao Yingying pondered for a moment, frowning slightly as she replied, "I've heard that the Snake Queen has reached the Great Perfection of the Xuanzhao Realm. There were even rumors a year ago that she was about to break through to the Xindong Realm. The scale of this sacrifice is so grand. I wonder if it's related to the Snake Queen's breakthrough to the Xindong Realm!"

"The Great Perfection of Xuanzhao Realm? What a thorny problem! It seems I should try my best to avoid encountering her!"

Listening to Ye Qi mumbling to himself, Yao Yingying chuckled and said, "You? And you even had an encounter with the Snake Queen? You're really a toad in the well always wanting to eat the white swan. Not to mention that no one has ever seen the Snake Queen, the only ones who managed to come out alive are the four Jindan-stage leaders of the Snake Tribe. They are no match for you!"

"Four Jindan stages, plus a strong man who may break through to the Heart-moving Realm. This kind of combat power is probably unique in the Northern Wilderness where monsters and beasts are rampant!" Ye Qi was extremely shocked after hearing this. He had witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of how the Demon Prison strongman who was half a step into the Heart-moving Realm destroyed a family that was blessed by the residual soul of the ancestor in the Heart-moving Realm. It was really shocking. He still felt scared when he thought about it now!

Just as the two were still chatting and laughing, not taking the dangerous journey seriously at all, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying, "Is the head of the Yao family here?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a servant ran to the backyard. Not long after, a middle-aged man ran out in a hurry and asked repeatedly, "Who are you?"

"I am the external steward of the Snake People, and I am here to pass on a message to Her Majesty the Queen! If Miss Yao can come to the Snake People, the position of Priest will belong to Miss Yao!"

"Priest?" Yao Yingying exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Excellency, that's right! The Queen also said that as long as Miss Yao is willing to come, she will be guaranteed to return safe and sound!"

The man looked at Yao Yingying with a hint of respect. After all, although the position of priest did not have much real power, it allowed him to have real contact with Her Majesty the Queen. As for himself, he was just an outsider steward, who had been managing the affairs of the Snake People in the territories that they could not leave for many years. Although he had some real power, he would never be able to sit in the position of priest, which was a position that only the strong men of the Snake People could hold!

Yao Yingying and Ye Qi exchanged a glance, pondered for a moment, and nodded, but still asked tentatively, "Can I bring a maid with me?"

"The sacrificial ceremony is under the full responsibility of the High Priest! However, the Saint will also be present in person, so the High Priest must make arrangements in advance!" The middle-aged man reminded in a subtle whisper.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir!"

As soon as Yao Yingying finished speaking, the head of the Yao family waved his hand and signaled the servants to bring out the gifts prepared in advance and give them to the snake-man deacon.

This gift was not because they knew someone would come in advance, but because they have been doing business with various tribes from the outside world for many years. For those monster tribes, some rare and strange spiritual herbs and treasures would make them more tempted, so they would always prepare some at home in case of emergency!

"Since Patriarch Yao has treated us with such generosity, if anyone dares to cause trouble for the Yao family in the future, I will be happy to help Patriarch Yao and the High Priest!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man took the valuable gift in his hand and left the Yao family with a happy smile!

"Daughter, you will have the identity of a priestess of the snake people in the future. The rise of the Yao family is just around the corner!" The head of the Yao family was so excited that he burst into tears. He hugged his daughter's shoulders and was reluctant to let go.

"Dad! The Snake People and the Human Race have always had a deep hatred for each other. How can our Yao family help the Snake People to commit atrocities for our own selfish interests?" Seeing her father's greedy label, Yao Yingying pushed him away and said in an accusing tone.

"Then why did you agree so happily just now?"

"There are quite a few girls arrested this time, and this may be the largest number ever. I don't want girls my age to be bullied. I want to save them!"

As Yao Yingying spoke, there was a sacred light in her eyes. Her righteous look made Ye Qi feel a little guilty. He actually wanted to take advantage of the innocence of such a righteous girl. Thinking about it now, he really wanted to slap himself twice!

"Nonsense! Do you know what will happen if you offend the Serpent People? The Yao family has worked hard for hundreds of years, and we are only able to live in a remote corner of Hope City. What an honor it is to be a priest. In a few years, even the Sky City will be within our reach!"

"If we go to dance with the demons, will they tolerate us humans? Father, don't be blinded by the immediate benefits!"

Ye Qi watched the father and daughter bickering fiercely and spoke up, "Master Yao! If we can successfully rescue the young ladies from various families this time, how many great families will back the Yao family? But if Miss Yao, as a priest, causes those young ladies to die in disgrace, how many great families will take revenge on the Yao family?"

After pondering for a moment, the head of the Yao family finally realized the pros and cons of the matter and had no choice but to let Yao Yingying make the decision herself.

After all, over the years, his daughter has always been a very independent person, and is even better than himself in handling things.

Although he was worried about accidents when going to the Snake People this time, he also knew that his opposition would only bring burdens and worries to his daughter.

He had no choice but to wave his hand, no longer discipline his daughter on how to behave, and turned and left!

"Master Ye! Time waits for no one, let's set off now!"
