Queen Medusa's Smile

As Ye Feng looked toward Yin Shi, the old Snake Person leaning on a cane also shifted his gaze onto Ye Feng.

His profound eyes were utterly calm and unfathomable, revealing nothing of what he was thinking.

This was the old fox of the Snake People Clan, their absolute strategist—a man not to be trifled with.

Yet his grandson, Yin Bi, looked at Ye Feng with astonishment, finding it quite unbelievable.

Clearly, he could not believe Ye Feng had made it here.

"Greetings, Commanders!"

Ye Feng bowed slightly toward the several Commanders.

Hua She'er signaled for Ye Feng to stand to one side, while she headed toward the front.

As the captain of the Royal Guard, she was naturally the one presiding over this selection.

Ye Feng moved to Yin Bi's side, never once paying attention to Yin Bi's hostile glare.

This only angered Yin Bi further. He exhaled a turbid breath, already resolved to cripple this piece of trash later.

Hua She'er stepped to the front, looked at the crowd, and spoke with utmost seriousness:

"For this selection of the Medusa Royal Guard, only one genius who has just undergone their coming-of-age ceremony will be recruited. We are choosing the most outstanding genius of our Snake People Clan, someone we will nurture with all our strength in the future."

"Therefore, the selection method in the hall will differ from the usual one-on-one battles. This time, the selection method will be..."

Just as Hua She'er was about to continue, several Commanders and Hua She'er herself abruptly rose and looked toward the platform.

There stood an exceedingly luxurious seat!

And the space there suddenly twisted in a bizarre fashion...

Ye Feng sensed the change at once, and his gaze could not help turning in that direction.

In the next instant, a graceful, curvaceous delicate body slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The beautiful woman who appeared out of nowhere wore a crimson bandeau adorned with Golden Frame Bones, her attire incomparably regal.

Her proud, delicate body was outlined in exquisite curves, her figure like a ripe peach, exuding a faint allure.

Her long black hair spilled casually from beneath her magnificent crown, cascading over her fragrant shoulders all the way past her slender willow waist.

Below that supple willow waist was a crimson gown. Her delicate body slowly settled onto the throne.

A section of purple Snake Tail swayed gently, and a wild, seductive charm instantly made everyone's bodies inexplicably burn.

Although Ye Feng's memories contained images of this perfect delicate body, that was like watching a video. How could it compare to the far more tangible impact of seeing her alive and in person?

As his gaze lingered on that exquisite face, Ye Feng's heart trembled violently.

The moment he saw this woman with his own eyes, Ye Feng immediately understood just how true Queen Medusa's reputation for beauty was!

Such a woman could only be described as bewitchingly gorgeous, yet beneath that enchantment lay the nobility and elegance of a queen.

Even Yue Mei, who was equally charming below, seemed somewhat dimmed by comparison to that captivating aura.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

After that graceful figure appeared, everyone below immediately fell to their knees, their respectful cries shaking the hall.

"Pay no mind to This King. Continue!"

Queen Medusa reclined slightly, propping up her exquisite cheek with her jade hand as she spoke slowly.

Her narrow, beautiful eyes turned toward Hua She'er, while the corner of her red lips curved into a faint smile.

In an instant, her exquisite face became brimming with enchanting charm. Every smile and frown left the people below utterly dazed.

Queen Medusa suddenly sensed someone staring at her without the slightest restraint. Her beautiful eyes immediately locked onto Ye Feng.

In that instant, their eyes met. Queen Medusa's red lips curled slightly as she gave him a smile.

She was quite familiar with Hua She'er's genius younger brother, but... he had never been this bold before!

A genius with Fire Attribute Dou Qi—I hope you will not disappoint This King!

"Gulp~"

Seeing Queen Medusa smile at him, Ye Feng could not help swallowing. Who could withstand that?

Good thing I don't have legs right now, or they might have gone weak...

This scene happened to be witnessed by a man, whose eyes instantly filled with hostility as he looked at Ye Feng!

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen!"

Hua She'er respectfully saluted, then turned to the crowd and continued:

"You are all geniuses who made it here only after passing through layer upon layer of selection!"

"This selection will be conducted in teams. There is no limit to team size, and you may form teams freely. The final three remaining contestants will advance to the last round of selection!"

As soon as her words fell, several Commanders sharply raised their brows. This selection method was truly rather strange!

Yin Shi, the "strategist," narrowed his aged eyes. In an instant, he understood what Hua She'er was doing.

However, he did not stop her, because this selection method was also extremely advantageous for his grandson, Yin Bi.

Twenty-three people participated in this selection, five of them from their tribe. One of the three who advanced was bound to be his eldest grandson, Yin Bi!

As for the other Commander, Mo Basi, he could not have cared less. His gaze kept drifting upward now and then, and anyone could tell what he meant.

Once the competition in the hall began, just as Yin Shi had expected, six people Ye Feng found very familiar suddenly appeared around him!

Ye Feng understood perfectly that this was all his dear sister Hua She'er's secret doing.

The selection quickly came to an end, and the final three remaining were Yin Bi, Mo Lasi, and Ye Feng!

Queen Medusa naturally saw through this bit of behind-the-scenes manipulation.

However, she did not stop it. Competition between the Snake People Clan's eight major tribes and the Royal City was indispensable.

Moreover, the three who remained were the most outstanding geniuses of this generation. This method of selection also saved time.

"Next, one-on-one battles. Opponents will be decided by drawing lots, with one person receiving a bye!"

When Ye Feng drew the empty lot, he felt utterly helpless.

Sure enough, having such a wonderful sister was an incomparably blissful thing.

Without doing anything at all, he had directly secured a place in the top two!

"Crack~ crack~"

Yin Bi, standing beside Ye Feng, ground his teeth furiously, producing a string of grating sounds.

Yin Shi saw this and could only smile helplessly.

This situation was inevitable. Otherwise, there would not have been only three people advancing from the first round!

As expected, the final battle was between Ye Feng and Yin Bi.

In the hall, Yin Bi's Dou Qi suddenly surged as he faced Ye Feng, and his eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.

"Ye Feng, go die, you bastard!"

"Oh? Little Yin Bi, using this trick again?"

Ye Feng calmly watched Yin Bi erupt, a faint smile curling at his lips.

"Nine-star Battle Master? He took... a Third-grade Qi-increasing Pill!"

A trace of disdain flashed through Yue Mei's eyes as she spoke in a low voice.

"Sigh~ Brother Yin, your grandson is far too irrational. No matter how this battle ends, he is destined to lose!"

Mo Basi shook his head and sighed as he looked at Yin Shi, whose expression had abruptly changed.

"You little bastard, stop right now!"

Yin Shi rose to his feet and roared.

Yet Yin Bi ignored him completely. His Storage Ring flashed, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand before stabbing straight toward Ye Feng.

Yin Shi's face immediately darkened at the sight. Just as he was about to intervene, he felt an oppressive pressure descend from above.

Why is Her Majesty the Queen stopping me?

Could it be...

Yin Shi's gaze abruptly locked onto Ye Feng. He saw a surging burst of Dou Qi erupt from Ye Feng's body, while a long saber appeared in his hand.

A Purple-black Dou Qi gauze garment had actually appeared over his body!

"Ye Feng... is actually a Dou Shi powerhouse???"
