Chapter 398 - 398 88 You Cant Afford It Two-in-One_3

Chapter 398: Chapter 88: You Can’t Afford It! [Two-in-One]_3 Chapter 398: Chapter 88: You Can’t Afford It! [Two-in-One]_3 “Your Majesty! I’m also lacking a few successors, please be generous…” one of the Snake Kings said.

“Your Majesty, I see these talented children, and I want a couple for adoptive sons myself…”

“Your Majesty, I’ve not had any children of my own, it’s not easy to pass on the family line…”

“Your Majesty, look at our tribe, we don’t have many young ones. I quite like these children…”

“Your Majesty…”

“…”

In an instant, tongues wagged, as the Snake Kings enthusiastically vied with each other.

Golden Emperor’s face darkened. He swept an imposing gaze over them: “Can you all… afford it? Don’t hinder these children’s development!”

Without mincing words, he had just been wanting to adopt all four hundred and thirty-two little snakes as his sons and daughters.

Just as the other Snake Kings had thought, these young snakes were naive and would be easy to adopt and turn into material; they would amount to a huge force powerful enough to rewrite the political landscape of the demon race.

Normally, with Golden Emperor’s obvious stance, the other Snake Kings wouldn’t dare challenge him, but this matter related to the very survival of their race. They all stood firm: “Rest assured, Your Majesty, we can afford it!”

“Even if we have to sell our pots and pans, we can afford it.”

Golden Emperor was infuriated. He was notorious for being mean-spirited, and the excellent opportunity to revive the snake race and change the future was being disrupted by his underlings, which made him extremely annoyed.

Swallowing Heaven Python King also finally realized what was happening. He was covered in cold sweat and couldn’t help sticking out his tongue.

Hisses…

Today, he was lucky that his wife reacted quickly. Otherwise, the future of his Python tribe would’ve been uncertain!

The Queen of the Swallowing Heaven Python smiled widely: “Our esteemed brothers take a shine to the children of us husband and wife, it is their good fortune. But please be patient for a while. Let us take our children back home first, let them experience family life for three to five months. Once they grow a bit and understand things, we will invite everyone over to choose… how about it?”

“We, husband and wife, are aware of our poor circumstances, and we can’t afford to raise so many children… We can only hope for Your Majesty and our brothers to lend a hand… My gratitude is endless. We will never forget the generosity of you all.”

“Stop being so polite! We are glad to help, it is our duty!”

All the Snake Kings thumped their chests in assurance, fervently promising.

Before this, everyone looked down on the Swallowing Heaven Python King and his wife: two idiots who couldn’t even protect their own children and had them stolen away!

What good can you possibly do?

Just a pair of useless creatures, utterly useless!

But now, these two failures have turned into treasures.

Just because they can reproduce, they have beaten all of us!

Giving birth to more than four hundred talents at once, it’s a wonder you two didn’t die from exhaustion!

The Queen of the Swallowing Heaven Python mildly said, “We will do what we can. Let’s see how many the Swallowing Heaven Python clan can provide for… well, anyhow, we won’t be able to go beyond one hundred… I feel ashamed, being such negligent snake parents…”

As she said this, the Queen naturally fought for sufficient benefits for their own tribe.

With children so outstanding, they must reserve enough of them for themselves. Who says we truly can’t afford them?

The joke isn’t funny at all!

As the head of the mountain and the tribal leader, how can I really not afford to bring up my own children?

Humph…

Luckily these brutes obstructed before, otherwise if the Emperor truly claimed all, it would be hard to refuse. There’d be no room for negotiation…

Even with the cultivation resources of the Snake Emperor, if my children become offerings to the snake race in the future, they would no longer be descendants of the Swallowing Heaven Python, what good would this do to us in all our striving?

“Alright, let’s settle it like this!”

The Golden Emperor glared at the surrounding Snake Kings. If eyes could kill, they would probably be a pile of snake bones by now.

Daring to spoil my good plan.

What a pain…

But at least, the matter with the baby snakes has temporarily come to an end.

The cradle finally returned to the hands of the Queen of Swallowing Heaven Python. Holding her children that were first lost and now found, tears streamed down her face from overwhelming happiness.

Although several were missing, retrieving this many was already a surprise beyond imagination.

The baby snakes also respond to the bloodline and the mother’s affectionate aura, expressing the intimate relationship of mother and child, which made them very gentle and affectionate.

Behaving well against their mother’s palm, their eyes filled with inexplicably warm and compliant expressions.

Once they were held in her arms, the Queen understood why the Golden Emperor had lost his composure. Her children demonstrated an unexpected intelligence and quick-wittedness. Now that they were closer, she could feel this more strongly.

Each of these children had nearly perfect Root Bones.

No wonder Golden Emperor reacted like that!

But… these are not how my children should be!

Given that my junk of a husband, how could he have such powerful genetic traits?

This…

But I… never had an affair…

The Queen secretly pondered: Since neither my husband nor I could produce these unimaginable talents, the only possibility would be the person who has helped hatch and raise the baby snakes during this period!

It must be so. I am absolutely sure that I’m right!

The Queen of Swallowing Heaven Python was indeed very sure of her judgment!

On the other side, Golden Emperor also seemed to have realized this problem.
