”I ask both seniors to protect me until this transaction is completed. If I go alone, I fear that Medusa will immediately go back on her word.”

Seeing that the situation with Medusa had been resolved, Lin Feng spoke softly.

Bai Ya thought about it—now, all they had to do was wait for Medusa to evolve. There was no risk involved.

Moreover, this was a great opportunity for it to recover in the Snake-People Clan without worrying about being ambushed. Even the Snake-People Clan wouldn’t dare provoke it easily.

After all, if it got angry, a few attacks could flatten half of the Snake-People Clan.

Thinking of this, Bai Ya nodded its massive snake head and said in a deep voice, ”No problem. I also need a safe place to recover.”

”Follow me,” Medusa said. Now that she had achieved her goal, her attitude was much calmer. Without further words, she turned and flew back to the Snake-People Clan.

”Whoosh!”

At that moment, the sound of rushing wind filled the air as seven men and one woman used Dou Qi Flight, rapidly shooting over from the distance.

”You damned snake! Last time, Her Majesty beat you so badly, and yet you dare come back to cause trouble in our Snake-People Clan?”

Upon seeing Bai Ya, Mo Ba Si—the most hot-tempered of the eight major leaders of the Snake-People Clan—couldn’t hold back his rage and bellowed.

”Heh, you little black snake. If we fought one-on-one, do you really think that even in my injured state, I wouldn’t be able to make your Mo Snake Clan change leaders?”

Bai Ya wasn’t one to back down. Since someone was picking a fight, it naturally retaliated immediately.

Mo Ba Si: ”#@*%#!!!”

Compared to Mo Ba Si, Yin Shi and Yue Mei were much more composed. Ignoring the bickering duo, they turned to Medusa with concern.

”Your Majesty, are you alright?”

Having been with Medusa for so long, they could naturally sense that her aura was unstable—clearly, she was injured.

”I’m fine. These people are my invited guests. No one is to harm them.”

Medusa waved her hand dismissively and addressed the others.

”Understood!” ×7

Though Yin Shi and Yue Mei were surprised, they didn’t question her further.

”What?!”

Mo Ba Si couldn’t believe his ears and hurriedly protested, ”Your Majesty, this snake previously—”

”Silence! I said they are guests, and that is final!”

Medusa’s delicate brows furrowed as she unleashed a surge of peak Dou Huang aura, pressing down on Mo Ba Si. The sheer pressure left him completely immobilized, unable to say another word.

”Let’s go.”

After dealing with the troublemaker, Medusa’s graceful figure vanished from sight, flying toward the Snake-People Clan.

Bai Ya and Lu Man quickly followed, leaving the eight tribal leaders standing in place, staring at each other in bewilderment.

In the Snake-People Clan’s Sacred Hall

”Your Majesty, this is too dangerous! Although the ancient records say evolution is possible, the failure rate is extremely high. If anything happens to you, our Snake-People Clan will be in grave danger!”

Inside the sacred hall of the Snake-People Clan, Medusa explained her plan to the tribal leaders.

Upon hearing this, their souls nearly fled their bodies in terror, and they all rushed to dissuade her.

”My decision is final. Immediately begin preparations and gather all the materials required for my evolution.”

Having already made up her mind, Medusa had no interest in listening to their protests. She waved her hand impatiently, signaling them to act.

”It was you, wasn’t it?! You must have tempted Her Majesty into taking such a risk!”

Seeing Medusa in this state, Mo Ba Si immediately shifted his anger toward Lin Feng and the others.

Lin Feng quickly stopped Bai Ya, who was ready to fire back, and stepped forward.

Looking at Medusa, who sat on the throne, he said, ”Your Majesty, you know best who truly wishes to evolve. Our deal was only about the Heavenly Flame. Whether your evolution succeeds or fails, we will take the Heavenly Flame and leave.

But seeing your subordinate like this… it makes us feel uneasy. If you cannot make the decisions here, then we have no reason to continue this deal. Otherwise, if a conflict breaks out, your Snake-People Clan might end up suffering greatly. If you can make the decision, then please—”

”There is no need for more words. I know what I am doing.”

Before Lin Feng could finish, Medusa interrupted him.

Had Lin Feng not been a high-ranking disciple of Heavenly Serpent Mansion, she would have already slapped this little Dou Shi into a pulp for speaking to her in such a manner.

However, her patience had already worn thin. She turned to Mo Ba Si and shouted coldly, ”If you say another word, I will have you experience the punishment of Ten Thousand Serpents Devouring the Body firsthand!”

She knew Mo Ba Si’ terrible temper well.

If she failed her evolution, this fool might start a conflict with Lu Man and Bai Ya, two Dou Huang, which could bring unnecessary disaster upon the Snake-People Clan.

She turned to the other seven tribal leaders and Hua She’er, saying, ”If my evolution fails, it has nothing to do with them. Return the Heavenly Flame to them and let them leave freely. If Mo Ba Si dares to cause trouble, seize him and subject him to Ten Thousand Serpents Devouring the Body!”

”Understood, Your Majesty.”

The others were much calmer. They knew there was no persuading Medusa, so they stopped arguing and accepted her command.

At the same time, they understood that if a fight broke out with these two Dou Huang, especially on their own territory, the Snake-People Clan would undoubtedly suffer a terrible fate.

The Snake-People Clan’s Treasury

”Now, you may hand over the Heavenly Flame.”

Medusa’s gaze locked onto the storage ring in Lin Feng’s hand, which supposedly contained the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Lin Feng cupped his hands and replied, ”Your Majesty, rest assured. When you begin your evolution, I will naturally take out the Heavenly Flame.”

Hearing this, Medusa’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, but after considering that Lin Feng and the others were within her domain and couldn’t escape, she didn’t press the issue.

She turned to Yue Mei below and instructed, ”Yue Mei, go inform the Flame King Serpent to part with a Beast Flame for us. Afterward, compensate it accordingly.”

”Understood.”

Yue Mei bent her curvaceous waist slightly in acknowledgment before turning to leave.

Then, Medusa took out a token and tossed it to Hua She’er, saying, ”Take that boy to the treasury and let him select two fourth-tier alchemy recipes.”

Hua She’er caught the token respectfully, then turned to Lin Feng. ”Follow me.”

Lin Feng nodded, then handed his storage ring—containing the Heavenly Flame—to Qing Lin before following Hua She’er.

Not long after, they arrived at an underground location not far from the sacred hall.

Here, a stone treasury was constructed entirely from Black Profound Stone.

At the entrance, Hua She’er raised the token and called out, ”By order of Her Majesty, I have come to retrieve items.”

”Boom—”

As her voice fell, the massive stone door slowly creaked open.

”Let’s go.”

Hua She’er turned to Lin Feng and spoke before stepping inside.

Lin Feng nodded and quickly followed.

Inside, Lin Feng was immediately taken aback.

The vast treasury was filled with towering wooden shelves, each stacked with an abundance of items. As he walked further in, he unconsciously leaned slightly toward one of the shelves, carefully observing its contents.

On these shelves, various Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques were arranged in neat rows.

As he walked past them, he noticed a shocking fact—among the hundreds of scrolls here, not a single one was below Black Class!

”You’d best not get any funny ideas about these things.”

Seeing the look in Lin Feng’s eyes, Hua She’er warned coldly.
