Chapter 1089: Chapter 34 Am I poisoned? [8000 words]_3 Chapter 1089: Chapter 34 Am I poisoned? [8000 words]_3 The implication in the Snake Emperor’s words was clear to everyone, and none of the demons questioned it.

Facing extinction, it was natural for the Golden Emperor, as the sovereign of his clan, to speak directly of self-detonation. Whoever was in the current situation would do the same, without a doubt.

After hearing the Snake Emperor speak so candidly, the Peacock Demon Emperor was at a loss for words for a moment.

Clearly, she had not expected the Snake clan’s losses to be this severe—it was almost as if the entire clan had been crippled!

If not for such dire circumstances, the Snake Emperor would not have been forced to consider self-detonation.

A thousand years to recover!?

In the Peacock Demon Emperor’s assessment, calling such devastating losses a “thousand-year recovery” was an extremely optimistic statement.

Even given a thousand years, recovery was not guaranteed.

Feng Yin also sighed and asked in a low voice, “What about those little ones?”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the seven sovereigns present all changed simultaneously.

Golden Emperor answered anxiously, “Master Ling, this…”

“No matter.”

Feng Yin replied steadily, “With Aunt Peacock here to oversee, no more troubles will arise.”

The Eagle Emperor and the others chuckled dryly, saying, “Certainly not.”

The Peacock Demon Emperor, with a complex look in her eyes, said softly, “Bring those little ones out. I too want to see, just how gifted they truly are.”

With that, she flipped her wrist to reveal a row of Spirit Beast bloodline rings.

Golden Emperor signaled to the queen, saying, “Bring the little ones out.”

The queen sighed and said, “All right.”

She got up and left, and after a short while, she returned with a group of little snakes.

Feng Yin glanced over and saw that there were a total of fifty-three little snakes. The number initially seemed substantial, but considering there were over four hundred in total, what remained was barely one out of ten!

The queen’s face was filled with bitterness as she said, “In recent times, we’ve lost… these are all that remain.”

The little ones, upon spotting Feng Yin from a distance, remembered the most familiar sensation and couldn’t help hissing excitedly as they eagerly rushed up to him.

It was almost in the blink of an eye that Feng Yin found himself covered with little snakes.

A dazzling array.

“These little fellows are growing up quite fast.”

Feng Yin didn’t mind this at all; after all, he was accustomed to having the six little snakes on his body daily. Now, the only difference was the number of snakes, which was no burden to him; instead, he was pleased that the little snakes still remembered him and their affection remained unabated.

After examining each one, he then tentatively asked, “Are these fifty-three all that’s left? Originally, there were… over four hundred…”

The Snake Emperor wore a look of misery as he said, “Each of these little ones has exceptional talent, which, though it seems like an advantage, is also their most fatal flaw… When these little creatures get lively and smart, they can’t help but follow their excessive curiosity…”

“At the slightest stir, they want to run outside… With so many little snakes, it’s impossible to keep an eye on them all.”

“Not to mention, they are born with the ability to camouflage… turning the same color as the rocks in the cave, and sneaking out… During this time, with battles happening so frequently… it has become even harder to watch over them…”

The Snake Emperor heaved a deep sigh, “These little ones… their curiosity is excessive; they’d even gather around to watch a fart…”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yin couldn’t help but be speechless, and the other sovereigns present also fell silent, struggling to suppress their laughter.

“How old are these little ones?” the Peacock Demon Emperor asked, playing with the two snakes coiled around her finger, gauging their strength.

“All things considered, they’re about half a year old.”

“Very good, truly excellent!” the Peacock Demon Emperor exclaimed involuntarily.

She immediately activated the bloodline rings, casually pulling three over for testing.

Seeing the sudden display of glittering gold and even radiant jade lights, all the sovereigns couldn’t help but show a change in their expression.

They had already estimated high for these legendary talented youngsters, but now it seemed they had underestimated their potential.

If they were allowed to grow unchecked, when the time came, where would we small fowl stand a chance?

With this thought, they all felt a sense of relief—it was fortunate that they had already wiped out more than three hundred.

Otherwise, what would become of them?

The royal Snake couple also secretly sighed with relief in their hearts. While a great number of their talented offspring had been lost, the situation hadn’t worsened to a complete halt.

The couple had kept more than sixty others in private, which they hadn’t brought out.

If those were exposed, what then?

Eagle Emperor took a deep breath, looking at the fifty-three adorable little snakes with a complex expression and said, “Big sister… the number of these young ones is still too great, far too many…”

The Peacock Demon Emperor’s gaze turned stern, “Shut up!”

She then told the Snake Queen, “Take them away.”

Feng Yin affectionately interacted with each little snake, comforting them before allowing the queen to take them away.

However, the atmosphere at the table became tense once again.

The feast proceeded with the Demon Emperors eating without relish, their eyes flickering with hesitation and unspoken words.

The awkward atmosphere persisted until the end of the banquet.

It was then that the Peacock Demon Emperor suddenly stood up and said, “You, come with me.”

She was speaking to Feng Yin.

Feng Yin could only offer a wry smile and replied, “Alright.”

He followed the Peacock Demon Emperor outside.

They walked outside, and as they gazed at the night sky full of stars, the Peacock Demon Emperor finally took a long breath and said, “For now, the situation has been tentatively suppressed, and the mediation has been successful. But the underlying dangers still exist, and the source of this catastrophe remains unaddressed, if we cannot find a solution, another disaster will eventually arise.”
