The Queen Was Furious

"Green Lotus Core Flame!"

The lava world was an endless sea of fiery red, yet a cyan energy barrier had suddenly appeared, sealing the lava outside.

Within the cyan energy barrier stood a gentle cyan lotus, dazzling and resplendent, yet terrifying, ultimate power lay hidden deep within it.

The lava near the energy barrier slowly parted, revealing a graceful figure. Her beauty was unparalleled, and her narrow pale-violet eyes were filled with wildness. Her shifting gaze was naturally seductive. Her lower abdomen was flat and smooth, while her full breasts and voluptuous hips seemed ready to burst forth. Beneath her was a violet tail.

"Rip~"

The woman extended her slender fingers and swiped forward. Terrifying power surged forth and condensed into a point, tearing open a gap in the energy barrier.

The Dou Qi wings on her back fluttered lightly, and in an instant, she entered the energy barrier and appeared above the cyan lotus.

Boom!

The surrounding lava seemed to come alive, flooding into the energy barrier and transforming into countless fire snakes that rushed toward the woman.

"A Heavenly Flame truly possesses spirit."

Her violet eyes flickered as the snake-tailed woman gathered energy and unleashed a Dou Technique, continuously forcing the lava back.

For a time, a fierce battle erupted within the energy barrier. The surrounding lava grew increasingly active, and the environment became ever more hostile.

After an unknown amount of time, the disturbance gradually subsided. The snake-tailed woman flashed to a spot ten feet from the cyan lotus. Her brocade robe had already been torn to rags, exposing her snow-white skin.

Her alluring body flickered in and out of sight beneath the cyan lotus's firelight. If any man saw her, the most primal desire in his heart would immediately be ignited.

"Worthy of a Heavenly Flame. The power it unleashed in such an environment is truly terrifying."

After observing the cyan lotus at close range for a while, the woman raised her hand and formed seals. A cyan-violet energy snake pattern soon appeared before her. Once fully formed, it instantly expanded outward, enveloping the entire cyan lotus.

She was of the Snake-People Tribe, and her bloodline possessed an extremely cold attribute, making it restrained by the energy within Heavenly Flames. Thus, she wished to use it to stimulate her bloodline and complete its evolution, thereby breaking through to the Dou Zong realm.

Now that she had found the Heavenly Flame, she did not dare take it away rashly without being fully prepared. It would be a minor matter if she suffered serious injuries herself, but it would also leave the Snake-People Tribe weakened, giving hostile forces an opportunity to exploit them.

If she first planted her own Snake Spirit within the Green Lotus Core Flame and slowly tamed it until it grew close enough to her, taking it away would be much safer.

"Hmm?"

Just as the snake-tailed woman finished planting the mark and was about to withdraw her hand, an Ancient Book suddenly appeared out of thin air before the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Her violet eyes shifted as she saw a line of large characters written on the Ancient Book.

Chu Xiao's Notes (Cai Lin's Exclusive Copy)

"Cai Lin?"

Though it was her first time seeing this name, an absurd thought arose in the snake-tailed woman's heart. She felt that this name belonged to her.

It felt absurd because she was Medusa, Queen of the Snake-People Tribe. Her status, title, and name had all been passed down through generations.

When the previous Medusa was still alive, she had been the Saintess of the Snake-People Tribe.

When the previous queen passed away, she became the new Medusa.

When she eventually passed away for some reason, the title would be inherited by the next generation.

How could she possibly have a name exclusive to herself?

Driven by curiosity, she reached out and touched the Ancient Book.

The next moment, the Ancient Book turned into a stream of light and entered her brow.

Its pages turned automatically. On the first page were several large words: Copy Owner Rules.

Note: Through the Copy, the owner may freely read the notes written by Chu Xiao, including but not limited to his personal experiences, cultivation techniques, Dou Techniques, divine abilities, alchemy, and other cultivation insights.

1: You may not proactively reveal the existence of the Copy to outsiders. Otherwise, your qualification to possess the Copy will be revoked, and all memories related to the Copy will be sealed.

2: You may not proactively harm the owner of the notes in any way. Otherwise, your qualification to possess the Copy will be revoked, and all memories related to the Copy will be sealed.

3: You may choose not to accept this Copy. Your memories will be sealed.

4: Read the notes daily for seven consecutive days. Upon meeting certain requirements, you may receive benefits. Please explore the specific rules yourself.

"Heh~"

After processing this information, contempt flashed through Medusa's eyes.

"Putting on airs."

She did not have the slightest interest in this person named Chu Xiao.

"Let me see how you seal my memories."

Medusa chose in her heart to reject the Ancient Book.

The next instant, the Ancient Book released an indescribable energy fluctuation that struck directly into the depths of her soul, bringing a tremor unlike anything she had felt before.

"Mm."

Confusion flashed through her violet eyes. Medusa looked at the Green Lotus Core Flame, then, after several breaths, raised her hand to form seals.

But the next moment, an Ancient Book appeared out of thin air, bearing a line of words.

"Cai Lin's Exclusive Copy?" An absurd feeling arose in Medusa's heart.

Several breaths later, she reached out and touched the Ancient Book.

Countless pieces of information surfaced, and Medusa's expression changed drastically.

"It really sealed my memories!"

Her small, fragrant tongue emerged to lightly lick her crimson lips as fighting spirit ignited in Medusa's eyes.

She went directly before the Green Lotus Core Flame, coiled her tail beneath her, and sat down. Then she took out a medicinal pill from her Storage Ring and swallowed it to restore her Dou Qi and stamina.

After circulating her cultivation for several cycles, she once again chose in her heart to reject the Diary Copy, her spiritual power intensely focused.

The next moment, indescribable energy fluctuations rippled from the Ancient Book again and struck directly into the depths of her soul.

This time, she was paying too much attention to it, and even her body reacted. Every cell trembled.

"Whew~"

After breaking out in fragrant sweat, Medusa's eyes were once again filled with confusion.

"The Green Lotus Core Flame is formidable indeed. It actually injured me so badly."

Medusa raised her hand, preparing to place another seal, only to see an Ancient Book appear out of thin air before her.

Upon seeing the words on the Ancient Book, an absurd feeling arose in her heart, and she could not help reaching out to touch it.

"It sealed them again?"

The information and the two sealed memories resurfaced. Medusa clenched her hands tightly.

Unwilling to compromise, she began competing with the Ancient Book, repeatedly choosing to give up ownership.

At the same time, in Stone Desert City, the nearest human city directly above where she was, there was a Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

"Get lost."

When a young girl in a light-green, elegant dress went to take her food in the back kitchen, the chef shouted at her with disgust in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

The girl looked downcast and did not dare resist. She picked up several loaves of bread that had fallen to the floor, left the kitchen, and staggered into a small nearby room. Closing the door, she hid inside and wept silently, sobbing softly.

Only after a long while did she raise her head, revealing an exquisite oval face like that of a porcelain doll. She picked up a loaf of bread and was about to take a bite when she saw that a book had appeared before her at some point.

Chu Xiao's Notes (Qing Lin's Exclusive Copy)

"Notes, exclusive to me?"

Qing Lin picked up the Ancient Book and gently opened it.

At the same time, in a certain back mountain within the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region.

Space rippled, and a little girl who looked twelve or thirteen years old appeared. She wore white clothes, had a head of violet hair, and possessed delicate features. She was as adorable as a lucky doll in a New Year painting.

Wrinkling her cute little nose, she reached out to grab a medicinal herb, only to touch an ancient violet-gold book.
