Slipping! Green Lotus Core Flame!

Upon hearing Queen Medusa's somewhat icy voice, Ye Feng's expression did not change in the slightest. Instead, he said firmly, "Her Majesty the Queen, it's like this!"

"Look at the strength of this little fellow—I'm only at the Da Dou Shi realm. If I sit over there, once we dive into this Magma World, I'll be gone in no time!"

"Only by sitting here can I receive Her Majesty the Queen's protection!"

After listening to Ye Feng, Queen Medusa actually found that he seemed to have a tiny bit of a point.

"When did This King say she would protect you?"

Her eyes widened, and her cold words reached Ye Feng's ears.

Ye Feng's expression froze. Not protect me?

Then if this little fellow entered that blazing sea, wouldn't I vanish in a puff of smoke?

Seeing Ye Feng's awkward state, Queen Medusa lightly pursed her Red Lips before threatening, "This King may allow you to sit here, but if you, little fellow, dare to move around, This King will break your legs!"

Legs! Break them?

"Gulp~"

Terrified, Ye Feng hurriedly raised his right hand and swore, "Her Majesty the Queen! I guarantee that I absolutely won't move around!"

"Mm! Let's go!"

At Ye Feng's command, the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake suddenly flipped its body, carving a great arc through the air before diving down toward the Magma World.

The instant the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake dove down, a crimson glow also emerged from Queen Medusa's Delicate Body, forming a protective barrier around her and Ye Feng.

Just then, suddenly...

"Mm!"

The moment the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake entered the Magma World, Queen Medusa let out a furious, icy snort.

That was because she suddenly felt something press against her back!

This "thing" truly was no good thing.

This "thing" was none other than Ye Feng, who had promised just a moment ago that he absolutely would not move, only to break his oath the very next moment!

Feeling the extreme chill coming from ahead, along with the comfort brought to his five senses, Ye Feng's forehead instantly heated up. He raised his head high and stretched out both hands to prove his innocence!

Ye Feng's face was quite pale as his body retreated back several inches. With a bitter smile, he said, "Uh... th-that, Her Majesty the Queen, I guarantee I absolutely didn't move... really... I never moved at all... the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake just charged too fiercely!"

"I slipped... I definitely slipped!"

Hong Ling: If I die, Master, it'll definitely be your fault! Hmph~

Queen Medusa's expression was exceedingly cold. Her slender, fair Jade Arm slowly rose, and that familiar motion made Ye Feng's neck suddenly shrink back.

Yet... just as Ye Feng thought he was about to be sent flying again and melted by the magma, that Jade Arm slowly lowered instead!

"You, little fellow, are still of use to This King! Once This King successfully obtains the Heavenly Flames and leaves, This King will deal with you and your Little Fire Snake!"

With that, Queen Medusa waved her Jade Arm and turned away in anger.

Ye Feng: (￣︶￣)

After Queen Medusa turned away, a faint blush quietly surfaced on her exquisite face, where no one could see it~

[ Ding! Because the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake charged too fiercely, Master slipped and bumped into Queen Medusa. Sign-in reward obtained: High-grade Yellow-tier Battle Skill, Tidal Finger! One pair of the Jia Ma Empire's most precious Luxurious Women's Shoes! ]

The shoes were good shoes, but wasn't this High-grade Yellow-tier Battle Skill a little too low-grade?

[ Tidal Finger: High-grade Yellow-tier Water Attribute Battle Skill. With this Battle Skill, Master can unleash long-range water-ray attacks. The specific power of the attack is up to Master! ]

Uh... (???)?

Led by Hong Ling, this "local snake," Ye Feng and Queen Medusa rapidly descended toward the bottom of the Magma World.

During this process, no other "accidents" occurred, because if another "accident" happened, someone would die!

Ye Feng gazed at the graceful figure before him and restrained himself greatly, keeping his thoughts fixed on Apricot Blossom Village.

After descending for roughly half an hour, they finally saw a jade-green radiance.

From afar, the glow looked like a green lotus flower, yet that lotus was actually a strange space!

Hovering outside it, they could clearly see a cluster of green flames within, gently pulsing like a heart.

After reaching a certain distance, the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake no longer dared to approach.

Queen Medusa abruptly stood up and, without asking Ye Feng's permission at all, grabbed him and rushed inside.

"Heavenly Flames~"

Her beautiful eyes stared at the Small Flame before them, delight flickering within her pupils.

To her, the Heavenly Flames represented two extremes: one was evolution, while the other was destruction!

"Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, born deep within the earth. It gains sentience in ten years, takes shape in a hundred, and becomes a lotus in a thousand..."

"When it reaches maturity, a cluster of green fire is born within the lotus heart, known as Green Lotus Fire! Her Majesty the Queen, our luck is incredible. This Green Lotus Core Flame has already fully matured—we can collect it!"

Ye Feng stared at the Small Flame before him and spoke excitedly.

Hearing this, Queen Medusa fixed Ye Feng with her beautiful eyes, which gleamed sharply.

So this little fellow really did know a great deal about Heavenly Flames~!

"Mm! Little fellow~ do you know how to collect a Heavenly Flame?"

Faced with Her Majesty the Queen's question, Ye Feng began to think.

The original story had not mentioned a single thing about collecting the Green Lotus Core Flame.

However, the fact that Xiao Yan later used this Green Lotus Seat to take the Green Lotus Core Flame away from Medusa Royal City was enough to prove it.

To the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Green Lotus Seat was something like a "home"!

Put more simply, it was like the relationship between a chicken and its coop!

As long as no one barged into the coop, the chicken would not run away!

With that thought, Ye Feng spoke to Queen Medusa in a grave tone:

"Her Majesty the Queen, since the Green Lotus Core Flame was born from the green lotus, it will not easily leave it. As long as we use a pure Jade Knife to cut off its stem, we can take it away!"

As he spoke, Ye Feng took a crystalline Jade Knife from his Storage Ring.

"Mm! Little fellow~ you came so thoroughly prepared!"

Her beautiful eyes blinked. Queen Medusa took the Jade Knife in her Jade Hand and said solemnly:

"However, when I make my move, the Green Lotus Core Flame will certainly struggle in fury. You must not leave this place!"

With a flick of her Jade Hand, a Red Light enveloped Ye Feng's body, protecting him from being scorched by the flames.

At the same time, Queen Medusa's Seven-Colored Snake Tail flicked, and her Delicate Body shot toward the enormous green lotus stem.

As Queen Medusa drew closer, the flames atop the green lotus surged wildly, transforming into a green fire spirit that lunged at her.

The fire spirit's form differed from what they had imagined—it was actually a Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake identical to Hong Ling's!!!
