Just as Medusa was about to leave, Lin Feng quickly tightened his arm slightly, pulling that supple and elastic snake waist back into his embrace.

Then he grinned and said, ”Your Majesty, just help me this once. This ointment here delays aging—its effect is really impressive.”

”You think… I’m old?”

Medusa’s beautiful eyes first glanced at the jade bottle in his hand, then locked sharply onto the young man before her.

Lin Feng immediately felt that murderous gaze pierce through him.

He even snuck a glance at the fist she had placed near his abdomen.

If he dared to say ”yes” right now, he’d probably end up bedridden for several months.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng hastily explained, ”In my eyes, Your Majesty is the most beautiful woman in the entire Dou Qi Continent. I’m only doing this out of concern for your beauty!”

As he spoke, he subtly moved her fist away from his stomach, then opened her palm and slipped the jade bottle into it.

”Hmph, at least you know your place.”

With a light snort, Medusa accepted the bottle.

Then, in her charming voice, she continued, ”I can’t hide your aura—but I can change it. As long as you don’t show your real face, no one should be able to recognize your true identity.”

”But you… what bad deed are you planning now that you need to hide your identity?”

With one hand resting on her slender waist, Medusa narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

She had a feeling this young man was definitely about to scam someone again.

”Hehe, it’s nothing serious—just a trade with someone. It’s a big deal this time, and since it’s in Black-Corner Region, I figured I’d prioritize safety and ask for your help.”

”Tch, you don’t want to tell me, and I don’t want to listen anyway.”

Seeing how evasive he was being, Medusa waved her hand in annoyance before asking, ”Are you ready?”

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked at her in confusion. ”Ready for what?”

Before he could get an answer, he felt a cold, chilling dou qi surge into his body through the hand that was still holding Medusa’s.

Startled, he instinctively tried to pull his hand back.

But to his dismay, it felt like her jade-like arm had been glued to him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free.

Noticing the smile on her crimson lips, Lin Feng could only smile bitterly and quickly focused inward to examine his condition.

Once his consciousness entered his body, he found that his meridians—normally filled with fire-attribute dou qi—had been completely overrun by a foreign, powerful energy.

After observing for a moment, Lin Feng realized that the dou qi Medusa had transmitted wasn’t hostile.

Following the movement of his spirit, he could sense that his body was now almost entirely filled with this domineering, chilling dou qi.

His original fire-attribute dou qi had all shrunk into the depths of his body, trembling in fear.

Even the Rank 7 beast flame in his dantian was trembling nonstop in terror.

At this moment, its flame had grown noticeably weaker.

”All done. Your aura has now been altered.”

Just as Lin Feng was checking his internal state, Medusa’s voice suddenly rang beside his ear, snapping him back to reality.

Sensing it briefly, Lin Feng found that his aura no longer carried that vigorous, blazing heat.

Instead, it now emanated a cold and gloomy presence.

”Not bad. With this disguise, the other party definitely won’t recognize me.”

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Lin Feng couldn’t help but sigh. Having a powerhouse by your side was so convenient.

Unfortunately, if only Medusa were truly one of his people, he wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble every time he needed her help.

Thinking this, he quickly decided to take advantage of the moment and work on strengthening their bond.

”You still haven’t seen what Spirit Mountain City looks like, right? Come on, I’ll take you on a tour.”

With that, Lin Feng grabbed Medusa’s hand and began walking out of the courtyard with her.

Looking at the young man’s somewhat lean back, Medusa stared blankly for a moment before asking, ”Didn’t you say you had to make a trade?”

”That can wait. There’s still time.”

Waving his hand dismissively, Lin Feng continued pulling her forward.

However, less than an hour into their stroll, Medusa was already fed up with Lin Feng’s subordinates and forcibly dragged him back into the courtyard.

”You didn’t do that on purpose, did you?”

Medusa’s charming and seductive face was now flushed red, her beautiful eyes glaring at him with hostility.

”Uh… I didn’t expect them to assume you were my wife! I really just wanted to take you out for a stroll, nothing more, I swear!” Lin Feng quickly tried to defend himself, sensing the powerful dou qi swirling threateningly around her.

Upon hearing that particular title, the space beside her slightly distorted. With a cold snort, she snapped, ”Who the hell is your wife? If you hadn’t been holding me back, I would’ve flattened those people already.”

She was clearly still annoyed at the group in Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, who had all greeted her with such exaggerated respect. As a Queen of the snake-people who had never encountered such awkward social situations, it left her both flustered and furious.

”Don’t be mad, you know stress makes you age faster. When that happens, you’ll—”

Before he could finish, Lin Feng’s body suddenly shot backward, sent flying by a burst of force.

Immediately after, a swirl of multicolored light flashed around Medusa’s graceful figure, which was swiftly suppressed back into her body by the Heaven Swallowing Python within her.

Then, the little creature quickly launched itself in the direction Lin Feng had flown, clearly anxious, checking if he was seriously hurt.

Outside the vast mountain ranges of the Inner Academy, there was a city named Feng City nestled at the foot.

Though not large, the city held significant influence within the Black-Corner Region—for the simple reason that the Medicine Emperor, Han Feng, resided here.

”Oww, damn it hurts… If I knew this would happen, I would’ve filtered my words through my brain first…”

Early the next morning, on the way to Feng City, Lin Feng rubbed his chest as he mumbled bitterly to himself.

That palm strike from yesterday hadn’t caused serious injuries…

But the pain—it was excruciatingly real. Even now, he was still grimacing in discomfort.

Since Spirit Mountain City wasn’t far from Feng City, Lin Feng arrived near the city gates not long after.

Because flying wasn’t allowed within the city, he descended to the ground and walked in through the front gate.

Once inside, he headed straight toward the well-known residence of Han Feng.

At the very center of the city lay a bamboo forest, completely different from the bustling markets outside.

This bamboo forest had an extremely strict defense system.

Ordinary people—not to mention entering—even getting too close would trigger indiscriminate attacks.

Every year, quite a few people lost their lives to the bamboo guards for this very reason.

So, though quiet and serene, this area was also viewed as a forbidden zone by most residents of Feng City.

Deep within the bamboo forest stood a bamboo tower, its lush green hue resembling polished jade, emitting a faint, refreshing scent of bamboo.

In one of the upper rooms of the tower, right by a window, a man with long black hair draping over his shoulders sat cross-legged.

He had a strikingly handsome face and an air of calm intensity.
