Zhang Yuan: That's Right, You've Won Big

Are you threatening me?

Medusa's fingers twitched, and she instinctively wanted to attack.

But seeing Ling Ying behind Zhang Yuan, she regained her composure.

"How can you call this a threat?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "I'm trying to analyze the situation for you; you should say I'm appealing to your emotions."

"So, the next step is to reason with them?" Medusa raised a beautiful eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

She really couldn't figure out what Zhang Yuan was trying to do.

"Yes, reason with them." Zhang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "The bloodline of the Snake People tribe is cold. They dislike the power of the Snake People tribe Heavenly Flames extremely much, and it can even be said to be their nemesis. However, I read in an ancient book that if Snake-People reaches the Peak Dou Emperor, they can use the Heavenly Flames to stimulate their bloodline and seek a breakthrough. Once they succeed, they will have the talent to become one of the top experts on the continent, and even become Dou Zong expert, but the process is extremely dangerous."

"I completely understand Your Majesty's desire to break through with the Green Lotus Core Flame, and I admire your courage and determination. However, if there were better options, Your Majesty wouldn't need to take this risk, would you?"

"What is a better choice?" Medusa asked, following Zhang Yuan's words.

Zhang Yuan had already taken control of the rhythm, and even someone as powerful as Medusa had to submit to his tactics.

"This is it." Zhang Yuan put down his teacup, raised his hand on the table, and summoned a ball of Silver Flame.

As the flames rose, four silver fire dragons could be faintly seen weaving through the flames, seemingly possessing sentience, and their dragon might was gathering, making Medusa's soul feel somewhat oppressed.

Looking at Medusa's slightly parted lips, Zhang Yuan smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire?"

Hehehe, Your Majesty, prepare to be manipulated.

You may be strong, but you're ultimately just a naive fool who can be fooled for years with a single pill.

"Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire?" Medusa's heart pounded as she looked at the flames in Zhang Yuan's hand.

Could it be that this Heavenly Flames is what attracts the power of his bloodline?

"Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire is an even stronger form of the Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire I possess. With Your Majesty's strength, you would die upon contact with it, though the Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire would not."

"Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire contains the power of fire, thunder, and Dragon Qi."

Under Medusa's covetous gaze, Zhang Yuan withdrew his hand and continued, "Her Majesty, if you wish to awaken the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, you must first be burned to a certain degree by the Heavenly Flames, at which point your body will be nearly severely injured."

"Once your bloodline is activated, you will immediately break through to the Dou Zong. Without time to recover, you will be subjected to human transformation and the tribulation lightning test, and lightning is a very hostile force to you Snake-People."

"To undergo tribulation while severely injured is precisely why this method is extremely dangerous, with a slim chance of survival, or even a certain death."

"However, if I control the Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire to stimulate your bloodline, you can receive Dragon Qi to repair yourself while you are injured. This will not only spare you a lot of pain, but also allow you to face the tribulation without serious injury, increasing your chances of successfully transcending the tribulation."

"Not only that, I can also use the Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire to absorb a portion of the lightning tribulation's power, which will increase your chances of success."

"With my assistance, Your Majesty, your chances of successfully breaking through, while not 100%, are far, far higher than a near-death experience."

As they spoke, Zhang Yuan handed the teapot to Medusa, then raised his teacup, his meaning clear.

As the saying goes, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, let alone when you need something from them.

After a moment's thought, Medusa picked up the teapot and poured Zhang Yuan a cup, saying with a smile, "I admit, your terms are very tempting, making me quite interested in cooperating. So, what do you want from me?"

In any transaction, there is naturally a give and take; it's impossible for only one party to pay and receive.

"First of all, I want the Green Lotus Core Flame. Please, Queen, take it back to the Snake People tribe and keep it there. Consider it a gift from you to me, how about it?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Okay." Medusa nodded.

The Snake People tribe cannot Control realm the Heavenly Flames, much less promote the Heavenly Flames Breakthrough Method.

If Zhang Yuan helps her break through her limits, she will find a safer and more convenient way for her people to do so, or seek a long-term partnership with Zhang Yuan.

"Formal cooperation will begin once I arrive in Stone Desert City." Zhang Yuan brought the teacup to his lips and asked, "Does Her Majesty wish to ease tensions between the humans and the Snake People tribe, or even achieve peaceful coexistence?"

As a qualified and magnanimous ruler, Medusa would naturally not be dominated by anger and hatred. She certainly hoped that the Snake People tribe and humans could live in peace, so that the Snake People tribe could have room to develop.

But she wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing, unless she was strong enough to subdue everything.

But this is basically impossible, because this world is ultimately dominated by humans. The powerful beast races only occupy one of the Nine Provinces, and the Snake People tribe are not accepted by the demon beast families or humans.

"You have a way?" Medusa looked Zhang Yuan over carefully, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart.

"Of course." Zhang Yuan nodded.

"What method?" Medusa asked.

As she spoke, she even poured Zhang Yuan's empty teacup.

Everyone has weaknesses, Medusa is no exception; the Snake People tribe's heritage is her greatest weakness at this moment.

"This matter is also very important to me. As long as Her Majesty the Queen agrees," Zhang Yuan said with a smile. "We'll discuss the specific details when I arrive in Stone Desert City."

Medusa looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile and said, "I am increasingly eager to take you back to the Snake People tribe."

Ling Ying glanced at Medusa indifferently, but she wasn't afraid and said, "Unfortunately, I can't."

"But boy, I'm curious. So far you've only talked about what benefits you'll give me. What do you want in return?"

As she spoke, Medusa rested her chin on one hand on the table, staring at Zhang Yuan with alluring and captivating eyes, exuding a fiery charm.

Zhang Yuan looked at him quietly and said, "I want you."

Medusa smiled smugly, as if she had just known. This human boy had succumbed to her charm and was trying to win her over in a way that pleased her.

It must be said that she was indeed somewhat pleased, if

"Friendship." Zhang Yuan smiled.

Medusa's smile froze slightly, and her fist hardened once more.

"I want to build a force, a force that can dominate the Northwest Continent and become one of the top forces on the continent." Zhang Yuan's tone became serious.

Medusa's eyes flickered slightly as she watched him quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Ling Ying's heart stirred, and she took out the Recording Stone to make a record.

Zhang Yuan's ambition to build up his power is undoubtedly for Miss Xun'er's sake.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in the future, his bold words will surely make Miss Xun'er happy.

"I think the Snake People tribe have great potential, especially you, Queen, who will successfully transform into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python," Zhang Yuan said earnestly, looking at Medusa. "That's why I'm willing to invest in and win you over."

"And enabling the Snake People tribe and humans to live in peace is not only my second gift to Your Majesty, but also a demonstration of my abilities, letting you know that you don't need to worry about fairness and justice when you follow me."

"Furthermore, I want to establish a power base where there can be competition but no internal conflict, and the issues between the Snake People tribe and humans must also be resolved."

"Proving my capabilities, establishing influence, and demonstrating my sincerity—a triple win."

"Furthermore, I can promise that as long as the inheritance within the Snake People tribe is reasonable, I will not interfere and will grant you autonomy."

What does Your Majesty think?

Medusa did not rush to answer, but began to think seriously.

A moment later, a bright smile appeared on her face, "If you can truly fulfill what you promised, I can lend you a hand."

The conflict between the Snake People tribe and the human race cannot be resolved overnight.

Before that, Zhang Yuan would first help her transform into Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python and break through to the Dou Zong, showing his utmost sincerity.

If she succeeds, Zhang Yuan will be like Form Transformation Pill and Sect Breaking Pill that can be used countless times by the Snake People tribe. This alone is enough for her to take him seriously.

Given Ling Ying's strength and the methods she used to seal off space, she could have easily called upon Yun Yun and Jia Xingtian to attack her earlier. She would have had no chance of escaping. Moreover, Zhang Yuan knew that she intended to use the Green Lotus Core Flame to break through; wouldn't he have a way to scheme against her?

All of this proves that Zhang Yuan can be trusted.

The rest depends on whether he has the ability.

As the one who benefits, she is naturally willing.

She even thought to herself, "This person is really nice. I wish all humans were like this."

However, years later, when Zhang Yuan occasionally thought back to this day, she felt incredibly foolish, as she could only exercise on it if she wanted to see different scenery.

Is this considered generous?

This is simply putting money into the new Storage Ring that's about to be bought.

Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan stood up and extended his hand.

Medusa stared at his hand for a while, then stood up and extended her own hand.

Tall and beautiful, with a fair complexion like jade.

Upon touching it, it feels soft and boneless, with a very cool and aloof feel.

"Medusa," Medusa said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan shook hands briefly before withdrawing his hand, saying, "I'll come to speak with Your Majesty the Queen in detail when I arrive in Stone Desert City."

"When the time comes, I will welcome you with open arms." Medusa licked her red lips, her eyes carrying a hint of allure.

However, if anyone thinks Medusa is interested in you, then you're not far from being eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind.

"Elder Ling, let's go."

After putting away the table, chairs, and tea set, Zhang Yuan nodded to Ling Ying.

The latter retrieved the Five Elements Spirit Turtle Pearl and returned it to Zhang Yuan.

The two then flew northeast without stopping.

Medusa only made her move again after the two figures disappeared from sight, in a very good mood.

On the other side, Jia Xingtian arrived to find nothing. He had intended to visit the Xiao Clan, but Yun Yun stopped him. "Elder Jia, the Luoyan Sect Sect's probing has intensified. Does Senior Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast have time?"
