Queen Medusa Refused to Be Convinced
"Queen Medusa, it's her, it must be her!" Xiao Yan exclaimed excitedly. "She's always stayed by my side. To get revenge on me, she must have taken my ring without a word and punished herself. ♘♞ 🍮🎄"
It must be her; only she knows the secret between him and his teacher.
Only someone with the strength of Dou Zong could so easily and silently take the ring from his hand without being noticed.
There is only one reason why she dared to do this: she had already merged with the soul of the Heaven Swallowing Python. Otherwise, she would not have betrayed herself before obtaining the Spirit Fusion Pill!
"Brother, everything needs evidence. Don't jump to conclusions before you have enough proof that someone else took your ring. Otherwise, you'll be wrongly accusing someone else, and you won't be able to get your ring back. If you're going in the wrong direction, your belongings will naturally be hard to find as well," Qian Ye advised.
Xiao Yan shook his head, extremely angry. "No... it must be her, there's no mistake, only she knows this secret, it can't be anyone else!"
Qian Ye shook her head, said nothing more, stood up and patted his shoulder. "Don't overthink it, it's dinner time. Whatever happened, it's dinner time, and only food can soothe a troubled mind. Whatever it is, we'll figure it out after dinner, okay?"
"No... go by yourself, I have no appetite at all!" Xiao Yan lay down on the bed, looking anxious and furious, his fists clenched. "Queen Medusa, no matter how strong you are, if you really took my ring, one day I will find you and make you hand it over."
"If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you!"
Qian Ye shrugged, turned around, and walked out of the dormitory towards the cafeteria.
"Qian Ye, Xiao Yan has wronged me. I really didn't take his ring!" Queen Medusa suddenly said to Qian Ye.
Qian Ye: "It's no use telling me this. He's convinced it was you. If you don't give him a reasonable explanation, he'll keep insisting it was you, and you won't be able to shake off his opinion."
"Hmph!" Queen Medusa said irritably, "Let him be then. Anyway, I didn't take it, and that's that. Even if he hates himself, what can he do to me?"
"He can't do anything to you, but he will find your Snake-People Tribe, kill your people, and force you to hand over that ring. After all, the spirit inside that ring is Yao Chen, who is not only his teacher but also his benefactor and mentor on his path to growth. Do you think he would do anything to get the ring back?"
"Yes... he's definitely capable of doing this for the sake of this ring!" Queen Medusa pondered. "In that case, I'll deal with him first, and then I'll have no worries about the future."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be this way; it's not the best choice."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's not the right time yet. At least he doesn't dare to go to you right now. After all, you're already Dou Zong, while he's only Nine-Star Da Dou Shi, having only temporarily reached the Dou Ling level thanks to the power of his Heavenly Flames. So even if he were to go to you, he'd wait until he's improved his strength at the Jia Nan Academy before going. ¤ (¯´☆✭.¸_)¤ ¤(_¸.✭☆´¯) ¤"
"Qian Ye, how does this conflict with eliminating him in advance? Why wait until he grows up and comes to me before I take action against him, instead of dealing with him now when it's easier?" Queen Medusa asked, puzzled and questioning.
Qian Ye smiled slightly, "Queen Medusa, although you are indeed Dou Zong, you still have no chance against him. Have you forgotten the battle at the Mist Yun Sect, where he fought against the entire Mist Yun Sect alone? Even Yun Shan himself couldn't gain the upper hand, simply because he possessed Heavenly Flames."
"Furthermore, since you haven't yet merged your soul with the Heaven Swallowing Python, your Dou Zong strength is extremely unstable. Don't blame me if you end up losing more than you gain by trying to steal a chicken, and even perishing in the process."
Yes, what he said is true.
With his current unstable strength, it would be a bit reckless to deal with Xiao Yan.
Given the sheer number of Heavenly Flames within him, if he were to fight me to the death, it's truly hard to say who would emerge victorious.
"So you mean to let him grow up and then go to the Snake-People Tribe to find me? Wouldn't we be at a greater disadvantage then?" Queen Medusa revealed her true thoughts.
"Yes," Qian Ye laughed, "If he continues to grow stronger, you and your Snake-People Tribe will be in even greater danger."
"After all, Xiao Yan is exceptionally talented. Even the Mist Yun Sect, with its deep foundation, couldn't deal with him and suffered a great loss at his hands. As long as he has enough time, even without Yao Chen's guidance, he can still rise to prominence. He just needs to take a few more detours."
"But with me here, none of this is a problem anymore."
"You..." Queen Medusa hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
He added, "You're only Nine-Star Da Dou Shi. Without Heavenly Flames, even with your exceptional talent, you're no match for him, are you?"
Who said they don't possess Heavenly Flames?
Qian Ye laughed too, knowing that his own Heavenly Flames was far more powerful than Little Yan Yan's.
"I don't possess Heavenly Flames, but I have something far more powerful than Heavenly Flames." Qian Ye didn't elaborate further; whether or not he possessed Heavenly Flames was something he knew for himself.
"What?" Queen Medusa suspected he was exaggerating, but she had no evidence.
"Strength? With my strength, no matter how much Xiao Yan grows or how strong he becomes, I can still kill him instantly. Even if he becomes Dou Di one day, I can still kill him instantly."
"Heh!" Queen Medusa rolled her eyes dramatically. "Dou Di! Instant kill? Do you think a Dou Di is a chicken? You think you can just instantly kill him?"
"I think it's not that you instantly killed Dou Di, but rather that Dou Di instantly killed you, right?"
Faced with Queen Medusa's sarcasm and ridicule, Qian Ye was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "How about I let you try? I guarantee you'll be convinced."
"What's the meaning?"
I can kill you instantly.
"You? Nine-Star Da Dou Shi who could instantly kill a One-Star Dou Zong like me? How dare you say that? It's not that I look down on you, it's just that your joke is too outrageous. I have to teach you a lesson so you won't keep talking so recklessly and end up not even knowing how you died."
Qian Ye laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me, are we going to fight or not?"
"Of course, if you don't have that confidence, then forget it?"
"You... Do you think I, Queen Medusa, am the kind of person who would cowardly fear death?" Queen Medusa's narrow eyes blazed with rage. "Fine, let's fight! I refuse to believe that you, a mere Nine-Star Da Dou Shi, can defy the heavens and defeat a One-Star Dou Zong like me!"
"Shall we go to the back mountain then?"
"Fine, I'll go!"
Then, a flash of light appeared on Qian Ye's body, and he disappeared from the spot.
Queen Medusa really wronged Qian Ye. With his current strength, let alone Queen Medusa being only One-Star Dou Zong, even Hun Tiandi and Ancient Godly Monarch Tuo She would only be able to kneel down and beg for mercy or be instantly killed in front of him. It's no exaggeration.
Of course, before Qian Ye demonstrated his strength, all his words seemed pale and hopeless to Queen Medusa. She felt that he was good at talking but had accomplished nothing, so she naturally didn't take his words seriously.
