Chapter 702: 701, Return to Snake Clan
“The Royal Family’s sacred grounds, no one is permitted to enter,” the guard said, averting his gaze. Remarkably, they sensed the aura of the Snake Clan’s Royal Family upon She Tan’s person.
“I am one of the Royal Family. Who dares to block my path?” She Tan demanded with a cold face.
The two guards sized up She Tan for a moment.
One of the guards said, “Please wait a moment! I will report this.” He indeed felt the aura of the Snake Clan’s Royal Family from She Tan but had never seen She Tan before, so naturally, he did not dare to let him pass without confirmation.
She Tan nodded faintly. Although he was stolen away from the Snake Clan when he was still an egg, he still knew some of the clan’s rules.
The guard hurriedly sent a message.
After a short wait, the sound of horse hooves approached from a distance.
Raising his eyes, She Tan saw a man dressed in a golden robe, having a resemblance to himself, riding towards them with a dozen guards.
“You’re my third brother?” the man exclaimed with a hint of joy in his eyes.
“Big brother, I have returned.” She Tan leaped down from the carriage and walked up to She Xing, who had also dismounted, to embrace him tightly.
“Where have you been all these years?” She Xing said with a smile, clapping She Tan on the shoulder. After their third brother had gone missing, the Empress had spent her days in tears, but despite searching the entire Demon World, there was no trace of him.
“I was taken to the Cultivation World. Right, let me introduce you,” She Tan said, reaching out to pull Song Yan Ning who had approached him, “This is my wife Song Yan Ning, whom I met in the Cultivation World.”
She Xing looked at Song Yan Ning, scrutinizing her carefully before nodding, “Her cultivation isn’t bad, it’s just a pity she isn’t a woman of our Snake Clan.” From the aura surrounding Song Yan Ning, he could tell she was a human cultivator.
“Big brother, let’s go back. It’s been so long since I’ve seen Father and Mother,” She Tan said, putting his hand on She Xing’s shoulder and smiling.
“Alright!” She Xing nodded and, after She Tan and Song Yan Ning got into the carriage, led the way.
The Snake King and Empress She had also received the news of She Tan’s return, and they had been waiting outside the palace early.
Seeing the carriage that She Xing was escorting She Tan in, Empress She’s eyes streamed with tears of excitement, “I thought I would never see him again in this lifetime; it’s so good that he could return.”
The Snake King frowned as he watched the carriage pull to a stop, “His sudden return, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.”
“He is our son, how can you speak of him like that?” Empress She said, glaring at the Snake King with displeasure.
She Tan lifted the carriage curtain, leaped down, and reached out to help Song Yan Ning down from the carriage.
She Xing frowned slightly and walked with She Tan and Song Yan Ning toward the Snake King and Empress She, “Father! Mother! The third brother has returned.”
“Father! Mother!” She Tan stepped forward and bowed to the Snake King and Empress She.
“My dear child, you’ve finally come back. Have you suffered much these years? And who might this be?” Empress She turned her gaze toward Song Yan Ning by She Tan’s side. She had long noticed Song Yan Ning and saw the care She Tan had for her.
“She’s my Taoist couple, Song Yan Ning. Xiao Ning, this is my Mother, my Father,” She Tan said, holding Song Yan Ning’s hand as he introduced her.
“Uncle! Aunt!” Song Yan Ning said with a smile, nodding to the Snake King and Empress She.
Empress She smiled and nodded, taking a step forward and taking Song Yan Ning’s hand, “Such a beautiful girl, no wonder our son values you so much.”
Song Yan Ning smiled, “Aunt, you flatter me.”
“Come, let’s go in and have a good chat.”
