Chapter 71 Two People with Their Own Motives
"What are your conditions?" Hearing this, Medusa was somewhat tempted. She was not afraid of death for the sake of the snake people, but no one was willing to die in vain.
"It's very simple. Regardless of whether you evolve successfully or not, I will take away the strange fire and green scales. From now on, I will have nothing to do with your snake people." Xiao Se said seriously.
Hearing Xiao Se's condition, Medusa fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she nodded slightly and said, "I promise you, but just in case, I cannot return this little girl to you before I complete my evolution. But don't worry, during this period, the snake people will treat her as a VIP."
"Okay." Xiao Se nodded with a smile, looked at Qing Lin, and said, "Qing Lin, I'll have to put you in trouble for the time being."
"Qinglin's life was given by Big Brother. Qinglin will do whatever Big Brother asks him to do." Qinglin nodded, his lowered green eyes full of determination.
"Then it's a pleasure to work with you." Xiao Se approached Medusa cautiously and stretched out his right hand. He thought to himself: When you evolve into a seven-colored swallowing python, I will make you call me master.
Seeing the white hand that Xiao Se stretched out, Medusa frowned her slender eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, raised her jade hand, and shook it, but the hand separated as soon as it touched. She cursed in her heart: Damn human, how dare you threaten me? When I am promoted to Dou Zong, I will kill you.
In this way, the two people, each with their ulterior motives, reached a preliminary consensus.
Many years later, the two, who had already become husband and wife, would blush whenever they recalled this scene.
Of course, this is all later.
The holy city of the snake people.
Yue Mei inspected the holy city of the snake people as usual. Although she was one of the eight tribal leaders of the snake people, she spent more time in the holy city to protect its safety.
Under Yue Mei's gaze, suddenly, two red lights flashed across the distant sky at an extremely fast speed, and they were approaching the holy city area in almost the blink of an eye.
"These two auras belong to Dou Huang. One of them is very familiar, and it seems to be Her Majesty the Queen. Then who is the other one?" Yue Mei frowned and said, staring blankly at the two red lights flying rapidly in the distance.
Seeing Yue Mei standing there in a daze, the flower snake beside her swung its tail, walked over, patted Yue Mei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yue Mei, what are you dazed about?" Then it also looked up, and its eyes were stunned for a moment, with disbelief in its pupils, "Is this the queen? With a human... and it seems that she also brought a little girl with her?"
Yue Mei nodded and waited quietly for the arrival of Queen Medusa.
Soon, Queen Medusa landed in front of the two of them, accompanied by Qing Lin and Xiao Se.
"Your Majesty." Hua She'er and Yue Mei bowed at the same time.
Medusa nodded and glanced at Hua She'er, "Hua She'er, take this little girl to the side hall to rest. Except for not allowing her to go out and not allowing anyone to get close to her, all other conditions must be met."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hua She'er nodded, walked to Qing Lin, and said seriously: "Little girl, come with me."
"Big brother." Qing Lin looked at Xiao Se, a hint of reluctance revealed in her beautiful lowered eyes.
"Go ahead, I'll pick you up when I'm done." Xiao Se rubbed Qing Lin's head and smiled gently.
"Yeah." Qinglin nodded, and under Xiao Se's gaze, followed Hua She'er into the snakeman palace.
Since Qinglin stayed with the snake people, Xiao Se didn't have to worry about her safety at all. Although Medusa hated humans, she would not do anything to Qinglin. After all, whether it was the strange fire or the soul-protecting pills needed for evolution, they all needed him to provide. If anything happened to Qinglin, she would not be in any good situation.
As for other external forces, the Yancheng Mo family is out of the question, they don't have the strength, the only one with strength is the Heavenly Snake Mansion, if Qinglin went to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, she could grow up like in the original novel, after all, in addition to wanting to match her up with the eldest son of the previous clan leader, the Heavenly Snake Mansion treated her well, treating her as the future successor. By that time, whether it was Qinglin or himself, they would have the ability to not be afraid of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and then the Heavenly Snake Mansion would want to match them up, but Qinglin would not want to, it would be impossible.
"How long does it take you to refine the soul-protecting pill?" Medusa looked at Xiao Se and said calmly.
"That depends on how long it takes you to gather the materials. If you have the materials, plus a slightly better medicine cauldron, maybe one day will be enough." Xiao Se smiled made a list of herbs from the ring and handed it to Medusa.
Medusa looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said: "Come with me, these medicinal herbs you have are rare, and the snake people's treasury can't gather them all. I don't have them."
"Okay." Xiao Se nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, they would go to her island hidden in the Temple of Medusa.
Yue Mei, who was standing by, watched the two people's receding backs and was a little confused. She only knew that her queen seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with this unreasonably young human in front of her.
Following Queen Medusa, Xiao Se walked through one of the corridors of the Medusa Temple. After walking for about ten minutes, his vision suddenly opened up and a small clear lake came into view.
In the center of the lake is a small island, surrounded by rippling water and without any access.
"The medicinal herbs are on that island. Come with me." Queen Medusa looked towards the island and without stopping, she stretched out a pair of red wings behind her. After a slight pause, she rose into the air and flew over.
Looking at this not-so-big lake, Xiao Se gave a bitter smile. There were restrictions on the lake surface and the water was highly poisonous. This woman was testing him.
"Brother, this small lake seems a little strange. If you force your way over, you will be pulled into the water. I will use my telekinesis to send you over." Hongkui reminded softly in his heart.
"Yeah." Xiao Se nodded, then spread his wings, and under the protection of Long Kui's mental power, he safely crossed the lake.
Medusa, who arrived at the opposite island first, saw that Xiao Se did not use any special means and just flew over with his wings. She couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"You can find all the herbs you need here. Just stay here for the time being." Medusa pointed her jade hand to the herb garden not far ahead.
Xiao Se nodded, walked towards the herb garden, and while picking herbs, he casually asked, "When do you plan to start evolving?"
Hearing this, Medusa hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "About seven days later."
After saying that, the red wings behind Medusa shot out, fluttered slightly, and left the island.
Looking at the large area of precious herbs in front of him, Xiao Se smiled slightly and stretched out his claws: "With so many herbs, when Medusa evolves, the entire island will almost be destroyed by the strange fire. We can't waste them."
Seven days passed in a flash. With the experience of refining the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Se refined the Soul-Protecting Pill on the first day.
Every day after that was spent in hard training. During this period, Xiao Se almost couldn't resist the urge to swallow the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire several times, but considering that he still had to subdue the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, he finally held back.
