Hai Bo Dong Restores His Dou Emperor Strength

Medusa Queen stared at Ice Emperor Hai Bodong with an icy expression. Her slender hand clenched, and a seven-colored serpent-shaped longsword suddenly shot forth, pointing straight at Hai Bo Dong's throat.

"This Queen said long ago that the next time we met, I would take your life."

Just as Medusa Queen was about to strike, a longsword pressed against her chest.

"What are you doing?"

Medusa Queen looked coldly at Lin Che beside her.

"Hai Bo Dong is my friend. Since what happened back then is already in the past, why keep clinging to it?"

Medusa Queen's eyes were cold and beautiful. Looking at Hai Bo Dong's aged appearance, then recalling that she needed Lin Che's help, she did not strike again.

Seeing that she had not attacked again, Hai Bo Dong silently breathed a sigh of relief. He had truly feared that Medusa Queen would simply cut him down with a single stroke.

Given the current situation, even if he recovered his former Dou Emperor realm, he still could not possibly be a match for Medusa Queen at the peak Dou Emperor level.

"Little Brother Lin Che, how is the matter you promised me last time?"

Hai Bo Dong asked anxiously.

"Rest assured. Since I promised you, I naturally will not go back on my word. But with Medusa Queen here, I suppose it should no longer be necessary."

Medusa Queen snorted coldly. "You want This Queen to undo his seal?"

"You have already sealed him for twenty years. Do you intend to seal him for the rest of his life?"

Lin Che asked in return.

After remaining silent for a long while, Medusa Queen's gaze settled on the necklace around Hai Bo Dong's neck. She then took out a medicinal pill and tossed it over. "This is a pill that can break the seal. After taking it, it can help you undo the seal."

Hai Bo Dong caught the pill she had thrown, but did not swallow it for a long time.

No one could guarantee that it was not mixed with some highly toxic substance.

As the saying went, one must always be wary of others. In this world filled with slaughter, every step could bring mortal danger.

Lin Che seemed to see through Hai Bo Dong's thoughts and reminded him, "Take it. I believe the Queen would not deceive you."

After hearing Little Brother Lin Che's reminder, Hai Bo Dong finally tossed the pill into his mouth. He then hurried toward his secret chamber. He needed to immediately enter seclusion and restore his Dou Qi.

Medusa Queen and Lin Che also entered the shop. Seeing how dilapidated it was, the former said mockingly, "Who would have thought that Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, once renowned throughout the Jia Ma Empire, would fall to such a state? How pathetic."

But when Medusa Queen saw the portrait hanging on the wall, she froze once more. The painting depicted a beautiful and captivating snake person.

Because the beautiful snake person in the painting was her younger sister, Die.

A mist of tears unconsciously welled up in Medusa Queen's eyes, and crystal-clear tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

The two sisters had shared a deep bond and cared greatly for one another. Yet when they came of age, the clan's strict rules allowed only one Medusa Queen to remain. In other words, one of them had to be eliminated and could not remain in this world.

When the two sisters faced the choice between life and death, the elder sister gave up voluntarily to protect her younger sister. The elder sister entered a prison of endless darkness, where only death awaited her.

The younger sister had a gentle temperament and dreamed of living freely and happily. However, the clan elders wanted her to become more ruthless and personally execute the captured humans.

Die could not bear to do so. At the coming Queen's coronation ceremony, Die was supposed to execute her sister. She knew that Medusa Queen's dream was to lead the Snake People Clan away from the desert unsuitable for their survival, so the younger sister voluntarily yielded her position to her elder sister. She then used the Snake People Clan's forbidden spatial technique to flee. The snake people elders were enraged and ordered the elder sister to capture and execute her younger sister.

In the end, she perished completely.

Medusa Queen slowly extended her slender jade-like fingers. With a tap toward the portrait, the painting hanging on the wall appeared in her hand, and she immediately stored it in her Storage Ring.

Lin Che saw everything she did. Perhaps this was also the nightmare buried in her heart.

Lin Che sat in a chair and waited for Hai Bo Dong to recover. At the same time, he took out the Green Fire Lotus Seed and casually tossed it into a wine jar he had prepared beforehand.

The instant the Green Fire Lotus Seed touched the strong liquor, blazing flames erupted. The scorching fire seemed capable of devouring everything, leaving one dumbfounded.

However, the fiery energy produced by the Green Fire Lotus Seed quickly faded away and finally settled at the bottom of the wine jar, freely releasing the energy within it.

"This is the fine wine you spoke of?"

Medusa Queen slowly walked over and looked at the wine jar before Lin Che. "Since you have no use for Heavenly Flames, why not give them to This Queen?"

"The Green Lotus Core Flame was obtained for a young girl. I hope Your Majesty will not set her sights on the Heavenly Flames again. You only need to remember one thing: I can help you break through to Dou Zong."

With a wave of Lin Che's hand, the wine jar vanished back into the system space. It only needed to ferment for eighty-one days before it could be taken out and drunk.

Medusa Queen turned her head away indifferently. Humans were creatures that could not be understood; no one knew what they were truly thinking.

After an unknown amount of time passed, a loud bang suddenly came from the underground chamber. Powerful Ice Attribute Dou Qi also spread out from the door of the secret chamber.

Ice Emperor Hai Bodong's appearance had changed. His once gaunt body had become full with Dou Qi. Aside from his silver-white hair, Hai Bo Dong appeared several decades younger.

This was also the most refreshed he had felt in twenty years.

Feeling the aura within his body, Hai Bo Dong burst into laughter. "Hahaha! This damned seal has finally disappeared! I am a Dou Huang expert again! Hahaha!"

"Congratulations on returning to the Dou Emperor realm." Lin Che nodded with a faint smile. "Elder Hai, do not forget our original agreement."

Hai Bo Dong frowned deeply. Although this matter did not have much to do with Lin Che, he had still brought Medusa Queen here.

He simply took another Fragment of the Netherworld Flame Map from his Storage Ring and tossed it over. "This old man's word is naturally as good as gold. As long as this old man recovered his Dou Emperor realm, I would give you the map fragment."

Lin Che caught the Fragment of the Netherworld Flame Map. Feeling the soul power upon it, he nodded in satisfaction. It seemed Hai Bo Dong was indeed a man who kept his word.

He had not deceived him.

After storing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame fragment in his Storage Ring, Lin Che stood and asked, "Since you have recovered your Dou Emperor realm, let us set out for the Jia Ma Empire. There is no use staying here any longer."

"Moreover, although I did not do much in the earlier matter, since I promised you, I can also let you return to your former Five-star Dou Huang realm."
