บท 84: The Deal
Only half-bloods between humans and the Snake-People have the potential to awaken the Triple Jade Green Snake Flower Pupils. As a result, the ancient texts of the Snake People also contain records related to these eyes.
According to ancient records, the eyes are highly authoritarian, capable of forcibly enslaving snake-type magical beasts far more potent than their owner.
Moreover, the growth potential of a person who awakens the Triple Jade green Snake Flower Pupils is exceptionally high. As long as they do not die prematurely, it would take less than ten years for them to grow into a Dou Zun-level expert.
The reason Queen Medusa risked capturing the Heavenly Flame was to use its power to evolve her bloodline, thereby breaking through to the Dou Ancestor level.
Now, having seen Qing Lin, who possesses the Triple Jade Green Snake Flower Pupils, Queen Medusa had only one thought in her mind: to make her her own.
After all, using the Heavenly Flame to evolve her bloodline did not guarantee success, and there was a significant risk involved.
If she could subdue Qing Lin, however, the Snake People would soon have a Dou Ancestor-level expert.
By then, even if Queen Medusa failed in her evolution, she wouldn't have to worry about the Snake People declining because of her death.
Queen Medusa gently parted her lips and asked in a somewhat soft tone, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"Hmph!"
In the face of Queen Medusa's kindness, Qing Lin merely snorted coldly and said, "I'm not going to tell you! You're with that evil woman!"
"How dare you speak to the Queen like th—"
Slap!!!
Before Yue Mei could finish speaking, Queen Medusa backhanded her with a slap and glared at her, displeased. "Shut up! Do you think it's your place to speak here?"
Although Queen Medusa could rely on her immense strength to forcibly subdue Qing Lin before she had a chance to grow, the risks were too high.
If Qing Lin complied outwardly but not inwardly, once her strength grew, she wouldn't protect the Snake People but would likely destroy them instead.
Thus, Queen Medusa had no choice but to entice Qing Lin to join the Snake People willingly rather than force her.
"Little girl, if you're willing to acknowledge me as your master, from now on, you'll be the Saintess of the Snake People."
Queen Medusa spoke in a voice full of temptation, "The Snake-People's collection of techniques, Dou Skills, and various cultivation resources will all be at your disposal.
"Aside from me, the entire Snake-People tribe will follow your orders. You will be second only to me!"
"Oh, Your Majesty, isn't it a bit too much to try to steal someone away right in front of me?"
A playful voice suddenly rang out. Xiao Feng, now recovered from his injuries, flew over with Little Fairy Doctor, landing beside Qing Lin.
Seeing Xiao Feng return, Qing Lin couldn't help but worry, "Young Master, are you okay?"
"Don't worry! I'm fine. Compared to being burned by the Heavenly Flame, this little injury is like a mosquito bite."
Xiao Feng chuckled, ruffling Qing Lin's hair, then turned to Queen Medusa. "Your Majesty, you must know that Qing Lin, with her awakened Green Snake's Triple Jade-Flower Eyes, has immense potential for the future. If you sincerely want to take her as your disciple, why not offer something real first?"
Queen Medusa furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "What do you want?"
Usually, Queen Medusa wouldn't even bother with someone like Xiao Feng, but it was clear that Qing Lin was utterly devoted to him.
To subdue Qing Lin, she first had to deal with Xiao Feng.
"I want something simple. Help me capture the Wind and Thunder Dragon Fury Flame, and I'll let Qing Lin acknowledge you as her master. How about it?"
"Heh!"
Queen Medusa sneered. "Human, are you mocking me? Even I wouldn't dare touch the Wind and Thunder Dragon Fury Flame lightly, and you, with less than the strength of a Dou Master, dare to dream of capturing it?"
While Xiao Feng's ability to take a punch from Yue Mei as a mere three-star Dou Master had surprised Queen Medusa, it didn't mean she believed he could capture the Wind and Thunder Dragon Fury Flame.
"Your Majesty, you're wronging me. My strength has nothing to do with whether I can capture the Wind and Thunder Dragon Fury Flame."
Xiao Feng shrugged helplessly. "How about this? As long as you follow my instructions and step in at the critical moment, whether I succeed or fail in capturing the Wind and Thunder Dragon Fury Flame, I will have Qing Lin acknowledge you as her master."
Queen Medusa seemed a bit tempted by Xiao Feng's offer, but she disagreed immediately. Instead, she asked Qing Lin, "Little girl, what do you think?"
Without hesitation, Qing Lin replied, "I'll do whatever the Young Master says!"
"Very well! It's a deal."
Queen Medusa smiled and nodded, then urged Xiao Feng, "Human, tell me how I can help."
"No rush. Let me absorb a bit more of the Wind and Thunder Dragon Fury Flame to strengthen my resistance, and then I'll ask for your help."
After finishing his sentence, Xiao Feng spread his Purple Cloud Wings and flew towards the nearby flame.
Under Queen Medusa and the others' shocked gazes, Xiao Feng opened his mouth and forcefully inhaled, sucking in an arm-thick stream of earth-yellow flames.
"Ahhh…"
Before their shock could fade, Xiao Feng was writhing in pain on the ground, clutching his stomach, as part of the flame burned through his body and began emerging from his navel.
"Hiss—"
Seeing this, Yue Mei gasped, feeling a phantom pain in her stomach.
Queen Medusa's face twitched with speechless exasperation.
Just moments ago, seeing Xiao Feng's confident expression, Queen Medusa thought he really had some unique method to tame the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.
She hadn't expected him to try such a reckless method as if he were rushing to his death.
Just when Queen Medusa thought Xiao Feng was going to kill himself, she noticed that both Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor remained calm, which puzzled her.
Before long, Xiao Feng, despite the excruciating pain, forcefully refined the Wind and Thunder Dragon Fury Flame inside his body, and his burned skin began to regenerate visibly.
"What an incredible recovery! Is this guy even human?"
Watching Xiao Feng, who had been on the verge of death, quickly bounce back to life, Yue Mei almost thought she was dreaming.
Queen Medusa finally understood why Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor had been so calm all along.
