Chapter 48: Treating the Queen as a Pet, That Actually Seems Not Bad!

When a face beautiful to the point of being bewitching entered his eyes, Gu Fei's gaze could not help but freeze for an instant.

At this moment, Medusa was wrapped in a luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe, which encased her graceful, delicate body.

Her full, fiery, and exquisite figure radiated a bewitching allure.

That pair of long, narrow, pale purple eyes, with the shifting of her gaze, possessed a natural charm that could almost pull the line of sight of every man toward her.

Beneath the purple brocade robe, a section of a purple snake tail was revealed, sweeping lazily and releasing a wild, exotic flair.

At this moment, Medusa's beautiful eyes were staring intently at the cyan flame in the small pool.

Staring quietly at the cyan flame for a long time, Medusa suddenly sighed softly, looked up at the sky, and then her fiery, delicate body slowly stood up.

"It is time..."

Murmuring in a low voice, Medusa revealed two snow-white wrists from beneath her purple brocade robe, her slender hands slowly forming several seals in front of her.

Following the changes in the seals in Medusa's hands, the Crystal Lotus Seat suddenly trembled violently.

The cyan flame, having lost its restraint, turned into a raging inferno in the blink of an eye.

Medusa bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her jade hands slowly undoing the buttons of her brocade robe.

Immediately, a perfect jade body, like a masterpiece of the heavens, was exposed naked in the bamboo forest.

Gu Fei's breathing quickened slightly, his blood beginning to surge.

The scene before him was truly too voluptuous; even though he did not have such intentions, some natural physiological reactions were unavoidable.

A blinding light burst forth from Medusa's naked body, constantly expanding and contracting, accompanied by a roar during this process.

Gu Fei was not disturbed by this intense light; he closed his eyes and used his soul power to perceive everything happening around him.

He clearly saw that above the small island, a giant purple snake, fully ten-plus zhang long, was suspended in the air.

The giant purple snake's body was long and powerful, possessing a faint, elegant beauty; those pale purple pupils were not as ferocious as the Snake-People Gu Fei had encountered before, but instead revealed a touch of tranquility and indifference.

During this time, Gu Fei only kept his eyes lowered, watching Medusa quietly without interrupting her.

Since Medusa had chosen this path, she would either be reduced to ashes or evolve into a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

By then, regardless of the outcome, Gu Fei would be able to pocket the Green Lotus Core Flame.

While Medusa was evolving, a chaotic battle was taking place within the Snake-People Holy City.

Gu He and Yun Yun's group, amidst the chaotic battle with the Snake-People, had charged into the Medusa Holy City, struggling as they searched everywhere for traces of the Exotic Fire.

Gu He was sensitive to the aura of the Exotic Fire, yet he could not distinguish which of the Exotic Fire auras was real as easily as Gu Fei could.

They could only search blindly while having to carve a bloody path through the Holy City filled with Snake-People.

The dense swarms of Snake-People seemed endless; no sooner had they killed one group than another would emerge from corners and shadows.

Gu He keenly sensed that these Snake-People were likely stalling for time!

They were probably waiting for reinforcements from the Snake-People experts!

Gu He felt a sense of foreboding and shouted directly: "If we still can't find the Exotic Fire, we will withdraw immediately!"

But the next second, Yun Yun glanced toward the west: "It's too late. Judging by this aura, it is likely another Commander from one of the Eight Great Tribes."

Hearing her words, the expressions of Gu He and the others changed slightly.

On the western horizon, a red shadow was flying toward the city like lightning.

After about a minute, a male Snake-Person, shrouded in red Dou Qi, flashed and appeared above the city.

He scanned the air with his gaze, finally stopping on Gu He and the others with a grim expression.

"Damned humans, you actually dare to enter our tribe's Holy City!"

"This guy is Yan Ci, the leader of the Yan Snake Tribe among the Eight Great Tribes. Although his temper is extremely fiery, his strength ranks among the best of the Eight Great Tribe leaders; he is a very troublesome opponent."

Frowning slightly as he looked at the suddenly appearing Snake-Person, someone in Gu He's group said helplessly.

Hearing this, Gu He frowned, his gaze sweeping over the opponent as he said: "Counting this, they have already reached three Dou Wangs."

Even though Gu He had prepared very thoroughly, facing so many Snake-People experts, he also felt a bit of pressure.

Meanwhile, the giant purple snake had set up an energy barrier, circled a few times in the sky, and emitted a crisp, low moan.

Then, the giant snake dove headlong into the mass of cyan flame without hesitation.

From within the Exotic Fire, shrill screams came continuously; inside the cyan flame, after remaining high-pitched for nearly half an hour, they gradually grew weak.

At this time, the giant purple snake's body, which had originally been covered in beautiful purple scales, was now charred black.

The ten-plus zhang long body had been burned down to only two or three zhang; it was hard to imagine how many bones and how much blood had been destroyed by the Exotic Fire within this body.

Gu Fei watched closely from the side, unable to help but sigh in his heart.

Medusa's perseverance was extraordinary; she was actually able to endure such torture.

If it were him, he feared it would be very difficult to withstand such pain.

The charred giant snake, which had stiffly collapsed to the ground, had its charred outer skin slowly peeling off, as if something was about to break out from within.

Suddenly, a seven-colored light shadow flew out rapidly from within.

Gu Fei saw it clearly.

Appearing before him was a small, slender snake only about two centimeters long.

Its entire body was covered in tiny seven-colored scales, and its pale purple snake pupils faintly held an eerie feeling.

A strange, fresh fragrance lingered about its body; although it was currently just a snake form, it exuded an air of elegance and nobility.

Although the small snake did not look too ferocious, it was beautiful to an excessive degree.

The seven-colored small snake did not have many sharp, offensive parts on its entire body.

However, Gu Fei knew that within this tiny body resided a terrifying power that even a Dou Huang expert would not dare to underestimate.

Gu Fei looked at it with great interest, then turned his gaze toward the cyan flame.

Gu Fei took out the Green Lotus Seat and tossed it over, and the Green Lotus Seat slowly retracted the Green Lotus Core Flame back into the lotus heart.

Instantly, an eerie cyan flame rose up from that empty lotus heart position.

After the Green Lotus Core Flame was collected and placed into the Storage Ring, Gu Fei looked toward the seven-colored little snake.

The little snake was also looking at him, already rubbing against his pant leg as if eager to try.

Seeing this somewhat cute little thing, Gu Fei reached out his hand and tucked it into his sleeve.

The seven-colored little snake, however, came out from inside the sleeve, coiled around his arm, and rubbed gently against his wrist as if acting spoiled.

It let out a faint hissing sound, and seeing that Gu Fei was not looking at it, it rubbed against him lightly once more.

Because Gu Fei was the first person the seven-colored little snake saw, in the little snake's eyes, this strange snake-kin figure that possessed four limbs and walked on two legs was like its own kin.

The little snake's purple eyes met Gu Fei's gaze.
