章節 87: The Queen of Gossip
"Since that's the case, let's retrieve the Green Lotus Core Flame first and then return to the royal city!"
Upon learning that the Green Lotus Core Flame was more suitable for her bloodline evolution, Queen Medusa naturally didn't insist on using the Wind Fury Dragon Flame and sensibly followed the suggestion.
Led by Xiao Feng and his group, Queen Medusa and Yue Mei followed the two-winged Black Serpent swiftly, soon arriving at the underground cave filled with magma.
"Qing Lin, summon Little Red! We can't proceed without it leading the way."
"Okay."
Hearing Xiao Feng's instructions, Qing Lin hurriedly summoned the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.
The thumb-sized Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent instantly swelled with the wind, turning into a gigantic creature over fifty feet long, diving into the scorching magma.
"Splash, splash..."
Back in its home turf, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent rolled joyfully in the magma like a dog released from its chains.
"Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."
"Hold on! I'll accompany you."
Just as Xiao Feng was about to summon a protective shield of flame and jump into the searing magma sea, Queen Medusa suddenly spoke, "The Wind Fury Dragon Flame can protect you from the magma, but with your current cultivation, you probably won't last long down there. I don't want to waste time."
Hearing this, Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin exchanged grateful glances toward Queen Medusa. With a strong figure like her accompanying Xiao Feng, his safety would be assured in the magma sea.
"I appreciate it, Your Majesty."
Naturally, Xiao Feng did not refuse her kindness and moved closer to her.
Queen Medusa formed hand seals and released a purple-red Dou Qi shield that enveloped both her and Xiao Feng, then leapt into the magma sea with him.
Seeing this, Qing Lin quickly used her Serpent Perception Technique, sharing the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent's senses as it swam towards the direction of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
As Xiao Feng and the others delved more profoundly, the surroundings gradually turned into a world of fiery red, and the world as a whole fell silent.
Because Queen Medusa's Dou Qi shield was only about three meters in diameter, Xiao Feng had to stay close to her, and he couldn't help but notice the faint, pleasant fragrance coming from her.
"Xiao Feng, why do you push yourself so hard in cultivation?"
After descending for more than half an hour, it was Queen Medusa who finally broke the silence, unable to suppress her curiosity.
Queen Medusa risked her life to evolve her bloodline with a foreign fire because she bore the heavy responsibility of strengthening the snake-human race. So, she was pretty curious: What was Xiao Feng's reason for pushing himself to undergo such perilous training with the Wind Fury Dragon Flame?
"For dignity!"
"Dignity?"
Facing Queen Medusa's curious gaze, Xiao Feng half-jokingly explained, "I come from the Xiao family in Wutan City of the Jia Ma Empire. My father is the head of the Xiao family, and I'm the third son in the family.
Back when my grandfather was alive, our Xiao family was well-known in the Jia Ma Empire.
My grandfather was very close with Nalan Jie, the elder of the Nalan family. They were brothers-in-arms through life and death. At that time, both my mother and Nalan's daughter were pregnant, so they decided to unite the families by betrothing me to Nalan Yanran.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Shortly after I was born, my grandfather passed away, and our Xiao family fell from being a first-class family to a third-class one.
After my grandfather's death, the relationship between our family and the Nalan family became distant. Nalan Yanran, who was initially betrothed to me, was exceptionally talented and became a direct disciple of the Yun Lan Sect's leader, ultimately becoming the sect's young master.
Nalan Yanran, being proud by nature, considered our engagement the most excellent stain on her life.
So, half a year ago, she brought the elders of the Yun Lan Sect to our Xiao family to annul the engagement."
"Annul the engagement!"
Queen Medusa's expression changed slightly, and a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes as she curiously asked, "What happened next?"
"Of course, I didn't agree. On the Dou Qi Continent, it's very shameful for a man to have his engagement annulled by a woman in public.
Moreover, when that happens, the families hostile to the Xiao family and those seeking to curry favour with the Yun Lan Sect would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to bring us down."
Xiao Feng shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "So, I made a bet with Nalan Yanran. We agreed to a duel. If she could defeat me, I'd accept the annulment. But if she lost, she'd have to leave my family peacefully.
Half a year ago, I had only recently condensed my Dou Qi cyclone and was just a one-star Dou Fighter, while Nalan Yanran was already a three-star Dou Fighter with superior techniques and Dou Skills.
Under normal circumstances, I couldn't possibly defeat her, so I had no choice but to take a risky approach, sacrificing one of my arms to catch her off guard and beat her!"
By this point, Queen Medusa could vividly imagine the dangerous battle that had taken place, and admiration was clearly visible on her face.
"After being defeated, Nalan Yanran was far from satisfied, feeling that my victory was somewhat unfair. So, we set a three-year agreement. In three years, I'll go to Yun Lan Sect to settle the score once and for all."
Xiao Feng smirked and added, "What Nalan Yanran didn't realise is that although my arm was almost crippled, I ended up awakening a particular constitution because of the incident.
This unique constitution not only gave me an extraordinary healing ability but also the power to transform into a mighty giant.
Initially, when I transformed, I could only exhibit strength comparable to a Dou Grandmaster. Even then, the odds of me winning against Nalan Yanran in three years weren't high.
So, I left the Xiao family and went on a journey to train and improve myself, encountering dangers and opportunities along the way, which led to my current strength.
In three years, I will climb Yun Lan Mountain and defeat Nalan Yanran in front of everyone.
I'm not trying to prove that I'm superior to others. I just want to take back the dignity that I lost!"
"..."
After hearing Xiao Feng's story, Queen Medusa was silent for a while, her expression complicated, before she finally sighed, "I've met many foolish humans, but Nalan Yanran might just be the most foolish of them all."
A young genius like Xiao Feng, who could already unleash Dou Sect-level strength at such a young age, was extremely rare on the Dou Qi Continent.
And yet, Nalan Yanran, who had such an opportunity, squandered it so quickly.
Looking at the magma outside the Dou Qi shield, gradually changing from red to blue, Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems we've almost reached our destination."
