Your Value Determines My Valuation of You

After the monthly date ended, Wu Yong returned to the Inner Academy feeling a bit curious. With the variable of his own existence now in play, would Medusa still be able to evolve into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python?

Furthermore, did Yao Lao, who was by Xiao Yan's side, possess any Di-tier Dou Techniques of the poison attribute in his collection?

If not, should he go to the Chu Yun Empire, that land where poison masters gathered, to sweep through and scavenge for some?

If the Chu Yun Empire didn't have any, then Wu Yong would have to dig around for information.

As for his own cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, the wind attribute was not particularly rare, and he wasn't in urgent need of Di-tier techniques at the moment.

The bonus that Son of Wind provided to his strength would only grow higher as he continued to develop this innate talent.

A single Space Slash was more than enough for him to use.

Cultivation methods and techniques weren't actually that important, provided that one's cultivation level was high enough.

As long as one's cultivation was strong enough, even a basic attack could unleash the power of a Tian-tier Dou Technique.

Now a six-star Dou Wang, Wu Yong sighed. His original plan had been to cultivate to the Dou Huang realm in one go before helping Medusa.

He hadn't expected that because of that map fragment...

No, that's not right. It was actually me who changed the plan on a whim; it's not that I forgot about the map fragment.

The next day, the stubborn Wu Yong asked for leave and departed from the academy.

Flying at several times the speed of sound, it took him less than five days to reach the skies above the Tagor Desert.

A cyan stream of light streaked across the sky and descended where Medusa was waiting with eager anticipation.

"Your servant welcomes you, Master. You have had a long journey, and I have troubled you."

"Mm, lead the way."

"Yes, Master."

Wu Yong lowered his head, took the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame map fragment, and seeing Medusa's respectful demeanor, he patted her head.

The creature he had subjugated was about to evolve; he wondered what she would turn into.

Before the evolution, he should soothe her a bit more; he hoped she wouldn't disappoint him.

After flying for a while, Wu Yong, dissatisfied with Medusa's flight speed, grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Too slow. You point the way, and I'll carry you."

"Ah?"

Watching the world retreat rapidly in her field of vision, Medusa felt for the first time what true speed was.

It had taken her several days to fly from the Snake-Person Holy City, but with Wu Yong carrying her, they flew back in just a little over two hours.

At this speed, should she say that he was truly a man worthy of her submission?

"Master, you are so fast!"

"..."

Wu Yong glanced at her, and after confirming that she didn't have any ulterior motives, he nodded slightly.

Then, Wu Yong shifted his gaze to take a rough look at this holy city of the Snake-Person Race.

It was just alright; compared to Canaan City, it was completely incomparable. However, it did have some unique characteristics of the Snake-Person Race, and looking closely, it was somewhat interesting.

"Master, you have traveled through dust and wind; why not rest for a night in your servant's palace and let me serve you properly?" Medusa carefully asked for Wu Yong's opinion, unsure if he was satisfied with her arrangements.

Wu Yong looked at Medusa and shook his head slightly at her snake tail: "Mm, there is no need for you to serve me. Just stabilize your state; we will talk after your evolution is complete."

Medusa was stunned, not expecting Wu Yong to refuse so readily.

Didn't human men all love the unique snake tails of their Snake-Person Race?

Many men who spent great effort to purchase female snake-person slaves were specifically into that.

However, she dared not neglect Wu Yong's wishes and immediately brought him to the holy palace.

She also ordered the snake-people below to treat Wu Yong with the same respect they showed her.

Sitting on the throne, Wu Yong watched Medusa's actions quietly, as if none of it had anything to do with him.

Whether her subordinate status was made public or not was unimportant, and whether she was loyal or not was also irrelevant.

A roadside creature that could be cut in half by his Space Slash was simply not worth Wu Yong's concern.

If not for her humble performance at the time and the fact that she could evolve, Wu Yong wouldn't even have lent her the crystals; he wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

A female snake-person at the Dou Huang realm, was she even worthy of serving him?

Thinking about it later, Wu Yong might even feel it was a disgrace.

He was the Son of Wind, one of the four great elements—earth, fire, water, and wind—that constructed this world.

If one were to talk about lineage, Wu Yong was ten thousand times more noble than all the Dou Di clans combined!

"Your value determines my estimation of you."

Wu Yong rested one hand on the throne, supported his head, and slowly closed his eyes.

The wind guarded him in silence, and the invisible wind enveloped every corner of the entire Snake-Person Holy City.

Unlike light, there are places of darkness that light cannot reach.

Wind, however, is everywhere.

Wu Yong has never minded speculating about the human heart with the greatest malice; this is the reason he has been able to survive until now.

Medusa naturally sensed Wu Yong's indifference, and she considered it a matter of course.

If she, the strongest of the Snake-Person Race, could be defeated so easily by her master and treated with such unconcern, then the other snake-people must be even less worth mentioning in her master's eyes.

With her being so weak, and the Snake-Person Race being so weak, what qualifications did they have to catch her master's eye?

Evolution!

Only evolution!

Only after a successful evolution, when her bloodline underwent a transformation and she broke through to the level of a Dou Zong, would she perhaps be qualified to be taken seriously by her master...

Medusa recalled the sensation of being carried back by her master today, that extreme speed which surpassed the limits of a Dou Huang by several times, and that irresistible Space Slash...

These two things alone made Medusa feel the unparalleled power of Wu Yong, leaving her unable to help but be fascinated by it.

This man who had forcefully conquered her and made her submit was so powerful, so unique; other men could not even compare to a single hair on his head. He was a one-of-a-kind existence in this world!

She wanted to follow him, but it was a pity that she was not yet qualified...

On the afternoon of the next day, Medusa, having adjusted her state, led Wu Yong to the place of evolution she had prepared long ago.

The giant pythons in the vast lake were as quiet as the dead under the suppression of Medusa's aura.

In the bamboo forest on the small island, the Qinglian Earth Core Flame was burning quietly within its cyan lotus pedestal.

The Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the pool did not exert its intended effect; born in such an environment, the Qinglian Earth Core Flame did not need to be suppressed at all.

Without hesitation, Medusa took off her clothes, revealing her beautiful scenery before her master's eyes.

Then, she revealed the form of a giant purple python, and after seeing Wu Yong nod calmly, she charged directly into the Qinglian Earth Core Flame.

In an instant, Medusa's miserable screams echoed over the city.

The Qinglian Earth Core Flame, which had been burning quietly, was enraged; it wanted to burn this creature who had disturbed it to death!

The pain caused the giant purple python's body to thrash wildly, wrecking the bamboo forest until it was unrecognizable.

Yet, the cyan flames followed her movements, spreading across her entire body and bringing even greater agony.
