50. Drawing a Pie

()"

If Huo Zhi did not have other lessons to learn, Lei Dong would have to give her a proper lesson for this stubborn bad habit of hers!

However, after looking at the elder in the distance, Lei Dong still held back. He said flatly to Huo Zhi, "Are you questioning your husband again?"

Huo Zhi cooperatively shook her head and said sweetly, "No, no, absolutely not!"

Although Lei Dong's voice was not loud, he had not deliberately concealed it. She was not far from the two of them, and she had been straining her ears to listen to their conversation, so she heard every word Lei Dong said perfectly clearly.

After hearing Lei Dong say that he was not even planning to give her a proper status, her already cold heart grew colder still.

At this moment, Huo Zhi also breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least she could be certain that no one could compete with her for anything anymore. After receiving confirmation, Huo Zhi was no longer as angry. After all, Medusa was destined to be a servant, while she was Lei Dong's First Wife. Why should she bother quarreling with her?

"Wait until we return with the flame. Then I'll deal with you!"

Although Lei Dong was displeased, obtaining the flame was more important for now. After leaving that threat behind, he looked toward Lei Mo and said, "Elder, let's go!"

After seeing the young couple finish their discussion, Lei Mo nodded unhappily. With a wave of his hand, he tore open a spatial rift and stepped inside. The way the two had acted just now looked exactly like they were force-feeding him their romantic affection. At his age, how could he possibly feel comfortable with that?

After Lei Mo entered the spatial rift, Lei Dong and Huo Zhi followed one after another. Medusa came along as well, of course. Lei Dong had forcibly dragged her here; otherwise, why would she have been willing to help? Especially after seeing Huo Zhi's smug, buoyant expression following her conversation with Lei Dong, Medusa was so irritated she could hardly stand it.

Lei Dong naturally sensed Medusa's resentment. He secretly transmitted, "Snake Woman, stop wearing that sour face, as if someone owed you millions."

He had used voice transmission not because he was afraid of Huo Zhi, but because he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Besides, Lei Dong did not want such a beautiful woman to become so angry that something happened to her. That would be far too great a loss!

Upon hearing Lei Dong's voice transmission, Medusa froze slightly. Then she said disdainfully, "Dirty man, so you do have times when you're afraid?"

In Medusa's eyes, the reason Lei Dong had sent her a voice transmission was obviously that he was afraid Huo Zhi would become angry. Combined with their previous conversation, whatever favorable impression she had gained from Lei Dong shielding her just now instantly vanished from her mind.

Lei Dong was slightly stunned. Although Medusa's voice was still cold enough to pierce his bones, how could a veteran of the battlefield of love fail to detect the strong note of jealousy in it?

Lei Dong found it rather amusing. He thought, Has Her Majesty the Queen become jealous?

Medusa had thought that her thoughtless remark would anger Lei Dong, after which he would once again think of some way to torment her. She had not expected Lei Dong to suddenly laugh.

That smile made Medusa's scalp prickle. She had a feeling that Lei Dong had thought of another bad idea to bully her.

In Medusa's heart, no matter what Lei Dong did, he was trying to bully her. Even if he was not doing so now, he was already on the way to doing it.

After laughing, Lei Dong transmitted again, "You don't need to be jealous of Huo Zhi either, because I can raise your bloodline again and help you evolve into a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!"

Medusa had still been on guard, but the moment she heard his words, she froze in shock. The news was simply too astonishing. Becoming a "Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python" had already been a blessing from heaven.

After all, fully advancing this rare bloodline was no easy matter, yet she had done it. She was very satisfied. Her only sorrow was that Lei Dong had enslaved her...

And now Lei Dong was saying, "Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!?"

She had naturally heard of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, but even she had not known how to evolve into one. She had never expected Lei Dong to know!

Her emotions surging, Medusa did not use voice transmission. Instead, she directly asked, "Do you really know how to evolve?"

Her sudden question caused Lei Mo and Huo Zhi, who had been traveling with them, to freeze. Lei Dong curled his lips, but he still nodded in response.

At this moment, Huo Zhi muttered unhappily, "Snake woman, what kind of fit are you throwing? Why are you being so jumpy?"

After learning that she could advance to a "Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python," Medusa had no attention to spare for her. She simply ignored Huo Zhi and transmitted, "You'd better do what you say. Don't lie to me!"

Lei Dong replied, "Of course I'll help you. After all, you'll be one of my capable assistants in the future."

Upon hearing this, Medusa gave another cold snort, but she said nothing more. The joy she had just felt was once again completely swept away by the words "capable assistant."

The women of the Medusa Clan either never married or remained devoted to one person for life. Lei Dong had taken her chastity and kept her confined, yet now he merely regarded her as a fighter? Naturally, Medusa was displeased!

Seeing Medusa's inconsistent attitude, Lei Dong also felt somewhat unhappy. He secretly grumbled, Women really are strange creatures!

Regardless, Lei Dong could tell that after learning about the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Medusa was already different from before. She even directly retorted to Huo Zhi's provocation with a look that seemed to show concern for someone mentally deficient...

The journey passed in silence.

Half an hour later, Lei Dong and the others arrived at the outer barrier of the Burning Flame Valley.

The Burning Flame Valley was located in the Scorching Flame Mountain Range in the southwestern part of the Central Region. This mountain range was formed entirely from scorching volcanoes. As far as the eye could see, everything was an unchanging crimson. Thick white smoke constantly curled up from the peaks, and lava occasionally spilled out from them.

Even across the entire Middle Continent, the Scorching Flame Mountain Range had quite a reputation. Naturally, part of that was due to the Burning Flame Valley being located here. The rest came from the harsh environment of the mountain range. Although the scenery here could not be considered pleasing to the eye, the endless volcanoes had caused the fire-attributed energy here to be exceptionally dense. Cultivating a fire-attributed Cultivation Method in this place would undoubtedly produce twice the results with half the effort. Therefore, even though everyone knew this place was extremely dangerous, quite a few people who cultivated fire-attributed Cultivation Methods still came here at risk...

Looking at the place before her, Huo Zhi exclaimed softly, "Although this place isn't as beautiful as the environment of my Flame Clan, it can still be considered a sacred cultivation ground for fire-attributed cultivators!"

Medusa snorted coldly at this and retorted disdainfully, "What's there to be so surprised about?"
