Chapter 97
"What?" Hai Bo Dong could hardly believe his ears. Although he had sensed Xiao Yan's voice transmission to Queen Medusa, he hadn't expected it to have such a great effect, actually changing Queen Medusa's will directly!
"He he." Xiao Yan gave a light laugh, saying to the people behind him: "That's how it is, Sea Elder. I'll still have to trouble you to send Tian Yue and Qing Lian to Jia Nan Academy. Rest assured, I will definitely catch up afterward."
"Well, then. Let's do as you say." Hai Bo Dong sighed, knowing this was the best outcome. Although he didn't know what Xiao Yan and Medusa had said to each other, it was clearly an exchange of conditions, and sending Xiao Yan to the Snake People Empire must be a necessary part.
"No, Xiao Yan, you can't go!" Although Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong had already reached an agreement, Yao Yue behind them obviously didn't want to agree.
"Right, Young Master! This is too dangerous!" Qing Lian beside him also quickly nodded, echoing.
He he, Xiao Yan smiled in relief, turned around and walked to the two women's side, his left and right hands embracing them into his arms, comforting: "Alright, don't worry. Since I dare to go to the Snake People Empire, I must have confidence in returning safely. Otherwise, I really value my life. Moreover—"
Lowering his head to look at the two women in his arms, Xiao Yan's mouth curled into a hint of an evil smile, his left and right hands patting the raised buttocks of the girls in his embrace, startling the two women to cry out in unison.
"Moreover, you two are waiting for me at home, how could I bear to just die like this?" Recalling the slippery sensation on his hands, Xiao Yan spoke teasingly.
Perhaps because he had been in contact with more and more women, Xiao Yan's actions had become increasingly bold. First release on Heavenly Reading Novels, tttk. ttw super smooth, providing you with flawless chapters, no disordered chapters reading experience.
It must be said, Xiao Yan's action was still very successful, instantly pulling the two women out of their worry and reluctance at parting, each shyly burying their heads in Xiao Yan's embrace, not daring to lift them for a long time.
After settling Qing Lian and the other's emotions, Xiao Yan handed them over to Hai Bo Dong.
"Sea Elder, I entrust these two to you."
"Mm, rest assured, I will definitely send them safely to Jia Nan Academy!" Hai Bo Dong patted his chest, promising with a complex expression.
"Xiao Yan, we agreed, we'll wait for you at Jia Nan Academy, you must come back early!" Yao Yue, eyes holding back tears, pulled Xiao Yan's hand with a slight sob, saying reluctantly.
"Yes, Young Master, you must come back early!" Qing Lian also sobbed, very reluctant to part with Xiao Yan.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Yan rubbed their heads, giving them a reassuring smile.
Afterward, he resolutely pulled away, turned to Queen Medusa and said: "Alright, let's go."
Queen Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan with a strange look, but ultimately said nothing more, her jade hand waving, the rainbow light surrounding everyone quickly splitting from the middle, becoming a long ribbon that swiftly coiled around Xiao Yan.
Then came another turn, the surrounding light distorted slightly, and when everyone could see clearly again, Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa had already vanished from this space.
On the way to the Snake People Empire, Queen Medusa spoke first: "Regarding the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python Bloodline, how did you know about it?"
"I saw it by chance in an ancient text." Hearing Queen Medusa's question, Xiao Yan's aura was calm and relaxed, the corner of his mouth smiling faintly, he plainly spoke the answer he had long prepared.
"Hmph!" Hearing this answer, Queen Medusa let out a light snort, obviously not very satisfied with this insincere answer.
Immediately, she also stopped beating around the bush, directly asking her most concerned question: "Do you really have the confidence to help me complete the bloodline evolution?"
"Of course!" Xiao Yan said firmly, appearing very confident.
"How to prove it?"
"At least, I can take back the Strange Fire when you are about to fail, isn't that so?" Xiao Yan did not directly answer Queen Medusa's question, but instead spoke directly about what would happen in case of failure.
But in a sense, this also counts as an answer. Because it means Queen Medusa has multiple chances to try; if this fails, other methods won't work either.
A Dou Huang's full-speed flight is still quite fast. Although Xiao Yan followed Queen Medusa's departure as dusk approached, when the two reached the capital of the Snake People Empire, the sun of the next day had still not risen! That is to say, from the Black Horn Region to the depths of the Tagor Great Desert, the two used only a little over one night's time.
When Queen Medusa and Xiao Yan's figures appeared above the great city in this desert, two beams of light shot out from two directions in the city, quickly flying to Queen Medusa's front and kneeling down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen." X2
"Rise, Yue Mei, Hua She Er." Queen Medusa gently raised her jade hand, a soft Dou Qi burst out, lifting the two bodies up.
Although in the eyes of the world, Queen Medusa has always been synonymous with cruelty and terror, but toward her own kin and subordinates, Queen Medusa has always been quite affectionate.
Standing behind Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan looked at this and couldn't help but nod, whether the queen did this out of consideration to win people's hearts or because her nature is just so, it deserves Xiao Yan's acknowledgment.
"Your Majesty, is this person that Xiao Yan? Why did you bring him back? Could it be that the Strange Fire hasn't been found?" As Queen Medusa's personal guard, Hua She Er spoke first.
"No, the Strange Fire was found, but it has already been refined by this man. To quickly complete the bloodline transformation, we still have to rely on this person."
"What? The Strange Fire has been refined by this person?" Yue Mei beside him obviously showed a surprised expression, then her thoughts turned, she thought of the same idea as the previous Queen Medusa.
"In that case, Your Majesty the Queen, why not just kill this person, take out the Strange Fire!" Yue Mei's pair of vertical pupils stared coldly at Xiao Yan, her mind already thinking about how to dig out the heart of this person before her.
But who would have thought her queen not only did not agree with her view, but instead directly spoke out in a loud rebuke: "Impudent! Yue Mei! You must not be rude to Mr. Xiao Yan!"
"Your Majesty the Queen!" Yue Mei stared in shock at her own queen, somewhat at a loss.
But Queen Medusa did not pay attention to Yue Mei's shock and incomprehension, instead turning her head to Xiao Yan and saying apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Xiao Yan, this time my subordinates have been rude, please don't blame them."
"Well." Now not only Yue Mei, but even Xiao Yan was a little shocked, completely unprepared for Queen Medusa's such low posture. Although he didn't understand it in the short term, this did not prevent him from quickly making a response.
"Your Majesty the Queen needs no such thing, Yue—Leader is only loyal, there's no fault."
"Then thank you, Mr. Xiao Yan." It seems because she obtained Xiao Yan's forgiveness, Queen Medusa obviously felt a sense of relief, and then said to Yue Mei: "Yue Mei, since this time Mr. Xiao Yan does not contend with you, I will not punish you, but you must apologize to Mr. Xiao Yan!"
Queen Medusa's tone was very stern, obviously not allowing Yue Mei to question.
Although Yue Mei was somewhat puzzled, she still did as told.
Biting her lip tightly, forcibly suppressing her unwillingness, she bowed to Xiao Yan, word by word: "Xiao Yan, Mr., sorry,."
"It's fine, it's fine, hurry up and get up, Yue Leader." Xiao Yan quickly waved his hands. In his heart, he was even more convinced that Queen Medusa was putting on an act. After all, if she really wanted to punish Yue Mei for offending herself, how could she just let it go after I said it's fine?
At the same time, regarding Queen Medusa's behavior, Xiao Yan also gained some insight in his heart. In short, it's just treating the worthy with courtesy.
To Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan is undoubtedly an extremely rare talent.
First, he possesses the Strange Fire, which can help her transform her bloodline.
Second, his strength is weak, so he can be manipulated by other Snake People experts besides her. This is extremely important, because during the bloodline transformation, Queen Medusa herself will fall into a weak state. In this situation, if the person controlling the Strange Fire has ill intentions, Queen Medusa will die without a burial place!
If I'm not mistaken, after this, Queen Medusa will probably privately summon Yue Mei for an explanation, after all, a loyal minister's heart cannot be made cold.
"Hua She Er, this Mr. Xiao Yan is the honored guest invited by Your Majesty, you will be responsible for receiving him." After dealing with Yue Mei's matter, Queen Medusa turned her head and said to Hua She Er.
"Yes." Unlike Yue Mei, Hua She Er has always unconditionally obeyed Queen Medusa's decisions, with no hesitation at all.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, this is my captain of the guard, she will be responsible for taking you to rest later."
Queen Medusa's dignified face showed a hint of a soft smile. Xiao Yan couldn't help but admit, even knowing Queen Medusa's plan, he still couldn't resist being attracted by this peerless appearance, willing to give everything for her.
"Your Majesty the Queen is too polite. To speak frankly, compared to resting, I would rather quickly achieve Your Majesty's wish!" Although moved by the Queen's peerless tenderness, Xiao Yan still retained a clear mind, guiding things to develop faster, and engaging in a contest of acting skills with the Queen.
A flash of surprise passed through Queen Medusa's eyes, she didn't expect this human youth facing her offensive to still be able to stay clear-headed, she couldn't help but look at him with higher regard.
"Your Majesty is too kind, to be honest, compared to resting, I would rather achieve Your Majesty's wish as soon as possible!" Although moved by the Queen's peerless tenderness, Xiao Yan still retained a sliver of clarity, guiding things to accelerate development, and exchanging acting skills with the Queen.
A hint of surprise flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes—But Didn't Expect this human youth to remain clear-headed in the face of her offensive, and she couldn't help but look at him with renewed admiration.
"Then I thank you, Mr. Xiao Yan, though I wonder if there is anything you need me to prepare?"
"Your Majesty speaks truly; I do indeed have a matter in which I require your assistance." As he spoke, Xiao Yan drew from the Bone Flame Ring the Qing Lotus Base he had previously taken along with the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Pointing to it, he said: "This is the lotus pedestal that originally nurtured the Green Lotus Core Flame. Bury its roots deep in the subterranean magma, and it will naturally condense flame strength. To provide the immense power needed for Your Majesty's bloodline transformation, we must rely on it."
"I did not expect Mr. Xiao Yan to possess such a marvel; I am now even more convinced of his ability to aid me in my bloodline transformation." Queen Medusa's eyes widened in astonishment, her gaze upon Xiao Yan shimmering with wonder.
Hiss! Faced with Queen Medusa's "sincere and heartfelt" gaze, even Xiao Yan, a veteran of love's battlefield, found himself somewhat hard-pressed, as an evil fire rose uncontrollably within him.
It seems I shall not sleep tonight. Xiao Yan mused inwardly.
