Chapitre 49: Chapter 49: Jiang Xing's Request
Jiang Xing stood up and stretched, hearing his bones crack. After clenching his fists and feeling the growing power in his body, he was very satisfied with his progress during the retreat.
It had been a month since he had seen the queen, and he missed her terribly. He decided to visit her at the palace.
Upon arriving at the hall, however, he didn't find Medusa but saw the chief elder busy with official matters. The elder sensed someone enter and looked up. When he saw it was Jiang Xing, he immediately stood from his seat.
Initially, Jiang Xing didn't understand why the elder was being so polite, but after noticing the elder's aura and observing his legs, he realized the elder had taken the Transformation Pill and broken through to Dou Zong.
"Wang Fu, you've come out of seclusion!"
Jiang Xing nodded and then clasped his fists, saying, "Congratulations, Elder, on breaking through to Dou Zong!"
"It's all thanks to the Transformation Pill from Wang Fu. Without it, I may never have reached the Dou Zong realm in this lifetime," the elder replied earnestly.
The elder's gratitude wasn't just polite—it was heartfelt. He truly saw Jiang Xing as the benefactor of the Snake People, not only for helping the queen evolve but also for aiding the snake people in leaving the harsh conditions of the Tagor Desert. Now, Jiang Xing had even provided the elders with the Transformation Pill.
"Have the other three elders broken through to Dou Zong as well?" Jiang Xing asked casually.
"Not yet, but they should be close," the elder answered truthfully.
"I see."
Sensing that Jiang Xing wasn't interested in continuing the conversation, the elder asked, "Are you here to see the queen, Wang Fu?"
Jiang Xing nodded. "Yes, I have business with the queen."
Seeing Medusa wasn't there, Jiang Xing didn't want to linger, so he said, "Please carry on, Elder. I'll go find the queen."
"Very well. Take care, Wang Fu!"
When Jiang Xing arrived at Medusa's residence, he was about to knock on the door but heard the sound of running water from inside.
Is the queen taking a bath? he wondered.
Instead of knocking, Jiang Xing used his space powers to slip inside.
"Who's there?"
...
After taking a bath together and engaging in a thrilling "battle," Jiang Xing lay on the bed, holding Medusa's delicate body close. It would be even more perfect if he had a cigarette at that moment.
Medusa, her curiosity piqued, asked, "After refining the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, what realm are you in now?"
"I'm now a five-star Dou Zun," Jiang Xing replied openly.
"Five-star Dou Zun?" Medusa murmured.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xing asked, sensing that something was bothering her.
"Nothing," Medusa replied, "I just feel like I'm progressing so slowly compared to you."
In just one month, Jiang Xing had advanced from three-star Dou Zun to five-star Dou Zun, while Medusa remained at four-star Dou Zong. Comparing herself to him only made her feel more inadequate.
Jiang Xing smiled and said, "I can help you improve your strength quickly."
"Really? What's the method?" Medusa asked, excitement lighting her eyes.
Jiang Xing didn't answer directly. "Do you know about the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?"
Medusa shook her head. The term was unfamiliar to her, but based on its name, she guessed it had something to do with the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.
"Is it related to the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python? And how does this help me improve my strength?" she asked.
"It's very much related," Jiang Xing explained. "Do you know about the three great monster overlords?"
Medusa found Jiang Xing's way of talking a bit odd, but she still answered, "I've heard of them—the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the Jiuyou Diming Python Clan, and the Tianyao Phoenix Clan."
Jiang Xing nodded. "That's correct, but what you don't know is that in ancient times, the Douqi Continent was ruled by three ancient creatures: the Ancient Taixu Dragon, the Ancient Sky Phoenix, and the Ancient Sky Snake. There are two main ancient snake bloodlines—one being the Ancient Sky Snake, and the other being the Sky-Swallowing Python."
"Sky-Swallowing Python?" Medusa was surprised.
"Yes, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python are actually from the same bloodline. The Seven-Colored version is a juvenile mutation of the Ancient Sky Snake, while the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is the matured form, a symbol of a ninth-tier magical beast."
"Ninth-tier magical beast… Dou Sheng level?" Medusa was stunned.
Jiang Xing nodded again. "The blood power of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is strong, but it falls short of the Ancient Sky Snake. Only when it evolves into the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python can its bloodline truly rival that of the Ancient Sky Snake."
"So, the method you mentioned is to help me evolve into a Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?" Medusa asked, quickly understanding his suggestion.
"The queen is as clever as ever," Jiang Xing teased, giving her a kiss as a reward.
Medusa pretended to be annoyed.
"Exactly. If you evolve into a Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, your strength will improve rapidly. The bloodline of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python can only take you to the Dou Zun level. If you want to break through to Dou Sheng, you must return to your ancestral bloodline and evolve."
"Dou Sheng! I could really reach Dou Sheng?" Medusa was in disbelief. Dou Sheng was a realm of legends for her.
"As long as you can evolve, reaching Dou Sheng won't be difficult."
Jiang Xing wasn't exaggerating. With the Nine-Colored Stone and the right conditions, helping Medusa break through would be straightforward.
"Jiang Xing, will you help me evolve into the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?"
"I can, but there's one condition," Jiang Xing said hesitantly.
"What is it?" Medusa asked, knowing his mischievous nature and wary of what he might demand.
Jiang Xing whispered his request into Medusa's ear with a playful grin.
"Jiang Xing! No way!" Medusa's face turned bright red.
She couldn't believe Jiang Xing was asking her to...
