Medusa Queen

Chapter 50: Queen Medusa

"Let's go."

At this moment, the woman shrouded in black robes pursed her lips and said softly, instantly bringing everyone back to their senses.

As soon as she finished speaking, the man called Old He glanced at Xiao Tian in surprise before leaving with a few others.

It wasn't until a long time later that he quietly asked, "Do you know each other?"

Hearing this, the woman shrouded in black robes shook her head, "We know each other, but we're not very familiar."

She then added, "We've just had some past dealings!"

After speaking, she no longer paid attention to the man beside her and instead flew directly towards the depths of the desert ahead.

Watching her receding figure, a look of seriousness appeared on the man's face.

After this group left, Xiao Tian and a few mercenaries remained in place until they returned to Stone Desert City much later.

"Qing Lin, I have to go!"

Back in the room, Xiao Tian looked at the busy girl in front of him and said with a smile.

"Young Master Xiao Tian, then... then when will you be back!" Hearing this, Qing Lin paused her movements and then raised her small head, her eyes red as she looked at him.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Tian's lips were filled with a gentle smile. "Don't worry, I'll be back to see you as soon as possible!"

Hearing him say this, Qing Lin nodded her little head.

"Here are two Dragon Power Pills. After taking them, you can gain immense strength for a short period. If anyone bullies you in the future, teach them a lesson!" At this moment, Xiao Tian took out two Dragon Power Pills from his Storage Ring and handed them to Qing Lin.

Looking at the pills emitting a faint white glow, Qing Lin blinked her eyes and finally put them away.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian smiled helplessly, then stood up. "Alright, I should go."

"Mhm." Qing Lin replied obediently, not seeing him off.

"Take care, and say goodbye to my two brothers for me." As he spoke, Xiao Tian turned and walked towards the door.

"Young Master Xiao Tian." Just then, Qing Lin suddenly called out to him.

Hearing this, Xiao Tian stopped and turned to look at the girl behind him. "What?"

Qing Lin bit her lip, and finally mustered up her courage, pouting her little mouth and said, "Young Master Xiao Tian, I'll wait for you. You must remember to come back soon!"

Looking at her expression, Xiao Tian was slightly stunned for a moment, then walked over and flicked her nose with his index finger, saying with a faint smile, "Okay, I promise you, I will be back soon."

With that, Xiao Tian pushed open the door and left.

Watching his disappearing figure, Qing Lin sat there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

She had finally found a place to rest her scarred heart, but he had left so suddenly...

Before leaving, Xiao Tian placed the remaining six Dragon Power Pills and some healing medicine in Xiao Ding's room, and then quietly departed.

In the desert, wind and sand blew everywhere, as if the entire world was wrapped in yellow sand, forcing people to squint their eyes.

Xiao Tian activated his Purple Cloud Wings and flew rapidly towards the distant horizon.

After about an hour, he saw the outline of a building. As he sped closer, Xiao Tian suddenly froze, because the building in front of him was a city wall, and standing on it were seven or eight snake people dressed in very strange attire!

"Did I stumble into Medusa's territory by accident?" Xiao Tian muttered, stroking his chin.

Then, he flapped his wings and silently flew over the city wall from an altitude of five hundred meters.

Meanwhile, in a large palace behind the city wall, a beautiful figure leaned lazily on the throne, holding a wine glass with her fair, slender fingers and taking a sip. Then, her beautiful eyes looked towards a flustered figure at the entrance of the hall and asked indifferently:

"Yue Mei, seeing how disheveled you are, was the man who stole the Green Lotus very strong? You couldn't catch him?" Medusa's brows revealed a hint of charm and arrogance, and a cold glint flickered in her crystal-clear eyes.

Hearing this, Yue Mei sighed, and her alluring red lips parted slightly. "Let's not talk about him. This time, there's also a Dou Emperor, two Dou Kings, and three Dou Spirits, human powerhouses, who have entered the depths of the desert. I heard them boasting that they want to meet Your Majesty the Queen!"

"Heh, these humans are ambitious and cunning to the extreme. They might have some wicked ideas!" Hearing this, Medusa snorted coldly, a look of deep mockery appearing on her exquisite face.

Yue Mei hesitated for a moment and slowly asked, "Then Your Majesty, if they really break into the depths of the desert, should we send troops to intercept them?"

"No need!" Medusa waved her hand, closed her eyes slowly, and said lazily, "Go and call Mo Bass over!"

Hearing her say this, Yue Mei frowned, wanting to say something but not speaking. She could only turn and leave, preparing to call Mo Bass.

However, the moment she turned, six figures suddenly appeared above the hall in an instant, holding a dark-skinned male snake person, who was Mo Bass.

"Queen Medusa, I apologize for the intrusion. I am Gu He, and I have important matters to discuss with you. Please come out and meet me!" At this moment, the middle-aged man among the six smiled calmly and spoke slowly.

As soon as his voice fell, a seductive woman in a purple brocade robe suddenly appeared before them.

The woman's skin was as white as snow, and she was stunningly beautiful. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her figure was shapely and curvaceous. Although she appeared lazy, she exuded a noble queenly aura. Beneath the purple brocade robe, a section of a purple snake tail swayed slightly, exuding a charming and alluring aura.

And this person was none other than Queen Medusa of the Snake People Race.

At the same time, the moment Queen Medusa appeared, Xiao Tian, with his arms crossed, watched this scene calmly from a nearby corner.

"Alchemist King Gu He? What business do you have with me?" At this moment, Queen Medusa was slightly taken aback, then indifferently swept her gaze over Gu He and the others, her red lips parting. Frost appeared on her exquisite face, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

Hearing her tone, Gu He and the others' expressions changed slightly. They were clearly a little displeased with her attitude, but due to Queen Medusa's strength, they could only endure it.

After a long silence, Gu He slowly said, "Your Majesty, to be frank, I have come today because of the Heavenly Flame in your possession!"

The Heavenly Flame?

Upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise crossed Medusa's beautiful eyes. She ran her slender fingers through the strands of hair by her ear and asked indifferently, "How did you know the Heavenly Flame was in my possession?"

Gu He said softly, "To be frank, not long ago I sensed the Heavenly Flame's aura, but I was a step too late. I only found a few blood-stained, seven-colored scales at the location of the Heavenly Flame. I then guessed that Your Majesty had taken the Heavenly Flame. However, this Heavenly Flame is extremely important to an alchemist, so I request that Your Majesty let me have it. I can offer three Sixth-grade Dou Ling Pills and one Seventh-grade Transformation Pill in exchange. What do you say?!"

As Gu He finished speaking, his eyes remained fixed on Medusa's reaction, hoping she would agree.
