Queen Medusa's Surrender!

As the leader of the Snake-People Tribe, no human had ever dared to wrap their arms around her waist; Xiao Ze was the first.

If word of this got out, it would be enough to shock the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Queen Medusa was equally stunned by his actions and immediately wanted to make him pay.

However, her Dou Qi had long since been exhausted, and in Xiao Ze's eyes, her so-called resistance was nothing more than child's play.

"Damned human, this Queen will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

The more violently Queen Medusa struggled, the deeper she sank into his grasp.

She discovered that no matter how she fought back, she was helpless against the human before her.

"The world says you, Queen Medusa, are a rose with thorns. Today, I intend to see if the rumors are true."

Xiao Ze held Queen Medusa's waist tightly, stirring up the churning, scorching magma around them.

As a Dou Zong, he could ignore the intense heat of the magma, but Queen Medusa could not.

Her cultivation was already a full realm lower, and with the Snake-People's innate aversion to fire, just a short while of this entanglement left her consciousness drifting.

"Let me go, you lowly human!" Queen Medusa felt a sense of humiliation she had never known before.

To be cornered in magma was a first in her life.

"Marry me, and I will let you go," Xiao Ze replied, unmoved.

"You must understand, in front of a Dou Zong, even if you are at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, you are simply not enough."

Xiao Ze's confidence stemmed from his cultivation; conversely, Queen Medusa was restricted at every turn, and trying to break free was nothing more than a pipe dream.

"In your dreams!" Queen Medusa vowed never to submit.

As the dignified leader of the Snake-People Tribe, how could she marry a human? Even if he was a Dou Zong!

"Won't you even listen to my conditions?"

Xiao Ze flipped her over, pinning Queen Medusa beneath him; they were face to face, both completely bare.

"Hmph! You are merely lusting after this Queen's body, why bother with such high-sounding excuses!"

Queen Medusa had long since seen through men, and she did not believe a single word he said.

"Then there is no other way." Xiao Ze sighed helplessly.

Queen Medusa was truly worthy of being the leader of the Snake-People Tribe; she yielded to neither soft nor hard tactics, remaining arrogant even as a captive.

Since she would not comply, he had no choice but to use force.

"Queen Medusa, you need to understand, I am not asking for your opinion. You are my captive now. If you don't agree, I cannot guarantee that something won't happen between us!"

Xiao Ze's predatory gaze swept over Queen Medusa's delicate body, causing her to tremble all over.

"You dare!" Faced with the threat, even though she was ten thousand times unwilling, Queen Medusa had to yield to his overwhelming power.

"Heh, you are actually asking me if I dare?" Xiao Ze chuckled, then leaned in and kissed her directly.

Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes widened in shock; she wailed in her heart, her gaze filled with disbelief.

After a long while, their lips parted, their breathing heavy. Xiao Ze did not forget to state his terms.

"Marry me, and I can ensure your successful promotion to Dou Zong. Don't bother relying on the Exotic Flame; that thing will burn you until not even ashes remain."

"If even the Exotic Flame cannot do it, how could you?" Although the conditions were tempting, Queen Medusa remained skeptical.

"Do you look down on me that much?" Xiao Ze laughed upon hearing this.

Since she looked down on him, then he was sorry, but she wouldn't be going back today.

The next moment, Xiao Ze kissed her again, and this time, he gave Queen Medusa no chance to speak.

"Mmph..."

Queen Medusa wanted to resist, but under Xiao Ze's kiss, her entire body went limp, unable to muster any strength.

Just like that, no one knew how much time had passed before the two entangled figures finally parted.

"Well? Have you felt my power now?" Xiao Ze looked as if he still wanted more.

Queen Medusa, on the other hand, had been terrified by his dominance.

Usually, it was others who feared her existence, but today, the roles had reversed, and she was truly afraid.

The man was nothing but a beast; he had no concept of tenderness, and she felt as if she were being broken.

"My previous promise still stands. Marry me, and I can ensure you reach the Dou Zong realm. I don't think you want to be toyed with by me again, do you?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ze prepared to move forward once more.

"Wait!" Queen Medusa raised a hand to his chest, her breathing ragged. "I... I agree!"

After saying those words, she felt as if all her strength had suddenly drained away.

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for taking Queen Medusa (SSS-rank) as a wife. Marriage rewards are being distributed...

Ding! Marriage reward distributed: Tier 5 Alchemist Talent!

Ding! Marriage dowry distributed: Ancient Heaven Snake Emperor Bloodline (Starts at Dou Zong, no upper limit)!

The moment the reward appeared, Xiao Ze's excited heart and trembling hands could no longer be restrained, and he lunged straight for it.

"Your Majesty Queen, this humble one loves you to death!"

"This Queen has already agreed to marry you!" Queen Medusa watched his wolf-like, tiger-like gaze and couldn't help but retreat three steps.

The feeling Xiao Ze gave her was more terrifying than everyone in the entire Jia Ma Empire combined.

"Be good, I'm doing this all for your own benefit. Rest assured, after today, you will be a Dou Zong powerhouse; reaching Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng in the future will be a simple matter."

Xiao Ze's words were full of temptation; although Queen Medusa didn't quite believe it in her heart, she had no choice but to trust him.

With others as the butcher and herself as the fish, what other choice did she have?

During this period, the two were entangled for a very, very long time. Queen Medusa's voice even went hoarse from shouting, yet Xiao Ze showed no signs of stopping.

This was because it was the critical stage of refining the Exotic Flame. With the support of the perfected Burning Art, he could ignore the pressure brought by the Exotic Flame and did not need external aids, capable of refining it with his physical body alone.

Meanwhile, under the reinforcement of the Ancient Heaven Snake Emperor Bloodline, Queen Medusa broke through to the Dou Zong realm in one fell swoop.

Feeling the improvement in her cultivation, Queen Medusa finally believed that Xiao Ze had not lied to her.

"This feeling seems quite good..."

As the refining of the Exotic Flame reached its end, Xiao Ze felt completely renewed, his cultivation level rising in sync.

"Five-star Dou Zong!" The aura Xiao Ze erupted with left Queen Medusa shocked beyond measure.

Although absorbing the Ancient Heaven Snake Emperor Bloodline had promoted her to a two-star Dou Zong, compared to Xiao Ze's five-star Dou Zong, there was clearly still a significant gap.

"Your Majesty Queen, is this humble one's service satisfactory?" Looking at Queen Medusa's luscious, dripping appearance, Xiao Ze felt a rush of pure satisfaction in his heart.

Queen Medusa was truly worthy of being the leader of the Snake-People Tribe; that waist, barely a handful, had given him such a taste of pleasure that everything went without saying.

"Hmph! It was just passable." Queen Medusa gave a light snort.

He had tortured her quite a bit over these past few days, and now he was actually speaking such flippant words.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty Queen, following me will not treat you poorly." Xiao Ze gently hugged her from behind.

He knew Queen Medusa was just being stubborn.

But as her man, Xiao Ze naturally had to provide her with a full sense of security.

"Alright, it is time for us to return."

"Big Brother, will Third Brother be alright?"

"It's been days; why hasn't he come up yet?"

At the entrance of the cave, the two brothers of the Xiao Clan, along with Qing Lin and Xiao Zi, were all waiting near the opening.

They had been waiting for several days, yet there was not a single sound from below, which had Xiao Li worried sick.
