The World of Beasts: Snake, I am the mother of all dragons

Tuoba Huang was so excited that he quickly grabbed Bai Luoluo's arm and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, which master created this masterpiece? Although the structure is a bit simple, the violent and direct power is really in line with the aesthetic taste of some orcs!"

"On behalf of the Tuoba family, I would like to purchase this blueprint."

In fact, compared to the blueprint, Tuoba Huang wanted to use it to win over the master behind the blueprint. Such a simple and exquisite weapon might help the Tuoba family to move to a higher level.

Business in Beast City has been tough lately, with the Shi family's group of mining rats taking a lot of the business.

If they could have a specialized weapon design master to help, their Tuoba family would be able to hold their heads high.

Jin Zilin came forward and squinted his eyes, looking left and right, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't figure out anything.

But our Young Master Jin has plenty of ways to do things. Even if he doesn’t see anything, it doesn’t stop him from praising it!

He immediately said with a beaming smile: "Hey, this must be Luo Luo's brilliant idea. The speed of her thinking is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

After saying this, he flaunted himself towards Tuoba Huang like a peacock spreading its feathers, "See? The master you've been thinking about is now right before your eyes, far away in the horizon. Why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around seemed to have been silenced. Their faces were full of black lines and they were speechless.

Bai Luoluo ignored Jin Zilin, the funny guy, and pulled him behind him. Conis took him to the alley and greeted him warmly.

Bai Luoluo looked at Tuoba Huang seriously and asked directly, "Can this thing be made?"

Tuoba Huang patted his chest loudly, and the muscles on his chest trembled with it. He promised: "Hey, it's just a small matter. It's nothing to me. I will definitely arrange it clearly for you!"

But at this moment, a particularly unpleasant voice suddenly interrupted.

"Oh, you are so arrogant, Miss. Why don't you try coming to our Shi family? After all, their Tuoba family probably can't even gather some decent materials."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Shi Xun, the young chief of the mining rat clan.

When the Shi family saw Jin Zilin enter the Tuoba family shop, their eyes widened like bells, and they were instantly furious. "A big order is about to be lost! How can this be?" They hurried over to see what was going on.

In this Beast City, the Tuoba family and the Shi family are both well-known forging families.

The Tuoba family made their fortune by forging weapons and were well-known in the forging world; the Shi family were experts in finding rare mineral veins, and it was they who discovered the famous Blood-Quenching Warm Jade Mine.

Later, the Shi family was supported by Lie Xiaotian and started a forging business together with the Lie family. The business also developed very well. The two families competed with each other openly and secretly.

And this was all Lie Xiaotian's doing behind the scenes. He was clearly biased in the allocation of resources.

Take the Blood-Quenching Warming Jade Mine for example. It’s such a rare thing that most people can’t even see it, let alone participate in it and make a profit.

However, Lie Xiaotian took this opportunity to deliberately create conflicts and competition over economic interests between the Shi family and the Tuoba family.

Originally, these two families had their own strengths in the field of forging. The Tuoba family was good at making weapons, and the Shi family was good at finding mineral veins, so they didn't interfere with each other.

But with Lie Xiaotian's intervention, the two families naturally began to compete for limited resources. But then again, if he hadn't come across a rare resource like the Blood-Quenching Warming Jade, he wouldn't have had the chance to pull this off.

In the original novel, Lie Xiaotian's subsequent actions were even more sinister.

In order to intensify the conflict, he instigated the Shi family to spread rumors everywhere, deliberately provoking a fight between the Shi and Tuoba families. When the two families were fighting fiercely, everyone else was watching the joke, but Lie Xiaotian was secretly working hard.

He turned his attention to the small families under the Jin family, supported some of his own forces, and let these small families disrupt the Jin family camp like suicide attacks and cause civil unrest.

This wasn't the end of the matter, as Lie Xiaotian devised another vicious plan. He secretly lured ferocious beasts to attack Beast City, causing panic within the city and plunging all the major families into extreme fear.

At this time, he pretended to be doing this for everyone's benefit by proposing to relocate the Beast City. But in reality, he took the opportunity to dig up old stories and historical issues, exaggerating them and further escalating the conflict.

The major families were played around by him, fighting for their lives, and Lie Xiaotian was like the one who reaped the benefits. He easily adjusted the power structure, placed his confidants in various key positions, and consolidated his rule.

In this way, the entire situation was like a chess game carefully manipulated by Lie Xiaotian.

In order to stabilize their shaky relationships, the noble families began to form alliances or intermarry, hoping that this way they could find a sense of stability in this strange turmoil.

But little did they know that this was exactly what Lie Xiaotian wanted. He could take advantage of this opportunity, like a cunning fox, to cleverly win over several influential families.

Those noble families who hadn't participated in the alliances or marriages were instantly left isolated and helpless. They watched helplessly as other families banded together for warmth, their hearts filled with fear, feeling a constant threat like a thorn in their backs.

How could Lie Xiaotian stop there? He was like a crazy arsonist, and he deliberately allowed the conflict caused by the ferocious beasts attacking the city to escalate further.

Watching the city fall into chaos due to the rampant beasts, the noble families running around in exhaustion, their strength being consumed bit by bit, he hid in the dark with a smug smile on his face.

Not only that, he also went to great lengths to tightly bind the interests of certain families to external conflicts. This was like putting a heavy yoke on these families, causing them to sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of difficulties.

When the aristocratic families were severely weakened and unable to take care of themselves, Lie Xiaotian launched his final fatal attack.

He commanded the forces he had secretly cultivated, and like a ghost, he quietly launched an annihilation operation against those aristocratic families that had already been riddled with problems. Pity those aristocratic families, who only discovered in the end that they were just stepping stones for Lie Xiaotian to realize his ambitions.

Lie Xiaotian's plan was flawless and meticulous, with one thing connected to another. He thought he could manipulate the aristocratic families and achieve his own ambitions.

But he never expected that the heroine Xia Han would be like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, breaking everything he had carefully planned.

Ever since Xia Han arrived, the focus of the family had instantly shifted to her. In the previously shaky and chaotic network of family relationships, she seemed to have become a solid central hub.
