Xiao Yan looked at the Seven-Star Dou Huang on the panel; he knew that Old Hai had not only succeeded, but succeeded brilliantly.

Those 1500 Summoning Points were truly well spent.

"Congratulations to Old Hai on returning to your peak," Xiao Yan said courteously.

"Thank you, Xiao Yan. I have noted this favor, and I will surely repay it in the future," Hai Bodong said with a smile.

Having resolved matters here, Xiao Yan turned to look at the four of them, including Hua She'er.

"The four of you, please lead the way. Rest assured, I only wish to discuss some cooperation with Queen Medusa."

Mo Basi and Yan Ci both turned their heads away, unwilling to look at Xiao Yan. Hua She'er asked suspiciously, "Are you certain you have no other motives for seeking the Queen?"

"What motives could I possibly have? Do you think I wouldn't be able to find your temple without you leading the way?" Xiao Yan did not want to waste time; after all, the Canaan Academy enrollment was about to begin.

Xiao Yan still needed to spend some time traveling back, so he wanted to resolve everything here.

After some thought, Yue Mei said, "Let's just take them to the Queen. Even if we don't lead them there, the temple is right there; it's not like they can't find it."

Hua She'er nodded as well.

The four of them rose together and hurried toward the direction of the Snake-Person Temple.

Xiao Yan smiled and followed along with Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yan in surprise and said, "Xiao Yan, your strength has improved again!"

Xiao Yan feigned indifference and said, "Yes, after all, I've swallowed another Exotic Fire. My strength was bound to increase a little."

"But this is hardly 'a little'! Yesterday you were a Seven-Star Dou Shi, and today you are a Four-Star Da Dou Shi. Nalan Yanran is truly unlucky to have provoked a monster like you," Hai Bodong exclaimed in admiration.

Yet, in his heart, Xiao Yan was thinking: The Cloud Mist Sect had better not meddle in this, otherwise, I will make Yun Shan regret it.

Thinking this, his speed toward the temple increased. Seeing Xiao Yan like this, Hai Bodong said no more.

Inside the Snake-Person Temple.

White Fang lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily like a pile of mud. His body was covered in wounds of all sizes.

Queen Medusa sat on her throne, looking extremely weak. She was surrounded by countless snake-person guards, but most of them were exhausted to the point of collapse.

Outside on the ground lay many snake-person soldiers and elders.

White Fang had held off the entire Snake-People Empire for a whole day single-handedly.

White Fang said painfully, "Boss, if you don't give me some benefits, I'm going to keep complaining forever."

Queen Medusa was at her wit's end. White Fang was simply too difficult to deal with; it wasn't that she had no way to leave.

However, she worried that if she left, White Fang would harm her people. Thus, she had been forced into a stalemate with White Fang until now, with no result.

Fortunately, Hua She'er had just sent the good news that they were all safe.

However, the matter of the Exotic Fire was clearly a lost cause.

Queen Medusa gritted her teeth; her well-laid plans had fallen through again. At this rate, it would be very difficult for her to break through to the Dou Zong level!

But when Queen Medusa heard that those people were coming to the temple, she felt nervous again.

Fortunately, after Hua She'er repeatedly emphasized that those people had no malicious intent, Queen Medusa finally set her mind at ease.

"I'm telling you, big sister, I told you long ago let's stop fighting. Once things are finished over there, we can talk about whatever. Look, you even knocked out my tooth. I rely on this face to woo the little female snakes!" White Fang complained incessantly.

Xiao Yan and the others, including Hua She'er, flew into the temple together.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "White Fang, which little female snakes are you planning to woo?"

Upon hearing this, White Fang immediately scrambled up from the ground, shaking his long body.

"Boss, look at my injuries, I've suffered so much," White Fang immediately began to complain.

Xiao Yan quickly raised his hand to stop him, smiling and saying, "Alright, I know you've worked hard and achieved great merit. Once we get a Form Transformation Pill, you won't be shortchanged."

Upon hearing this, White Fang's face lit up with joy, and he then withdrew.

Hua She'er, seeing Medusa's state, quickly asked with concern, "Queen! What happened to you? Who turned our Snake-Person Temple into this state?"

Hearing this, White Fang guiltily turned his body away, staring at the corner of the wall.

Queen Medusa naturally didn't answer, but instead looked at Xiao Yan.

"I presume you've already obtained the Exotic Fire?"

Listening to Queen Medusa's voice, Xiao Yan felt it sounded a bit like the voice acting in an anime.

"Queen, I came to find you because I want to discuss something with you," Xiao Yan stated his purpose.

"If you want to give me the Exotic Fire, this Queen is very willing to discuss it with you. Or, you could offer a Form Transformation Pill," Queen Medusa continued to say haughtily from her throne.

It had to be said, Queen Medusa was truly beautiful. Even more beautiful than the celebrities Xiao Yan had seen before he transmigrated, but she was just too cold.

"I'm sorry, Queen. I can't provide either of the things you mentioned, and even if I could, I wouldn't trade with you."

Mo Basi said angrily upon hearing this, "Are you playing with us?"

However, he was glared at by Hai Bodong, so he could only sulk and remain silent.

Xiao Yan ignored Mo Basi and continued, "Queen, I can help you. I think we should step aside and talk; there are too many people here, it's not suitable for conversation."

Hua She'er was the first to refuse Xiao Yan, with the reason being, "How can our noble Queen chat alone with a mere human?"

However, Queen Medusa looked into Xiao Yan's earnest eyes and finally agreed.

Hai Bodong came to Xiao Yan's side and whispered, "Queen Medusa is powerful. You must be careful when you are alone with her; even I, in my current state, cannot defeat her."

Xiao Yan knew that Hai Bodong had some history with Medusa, so he replied, "Don't worry, Elder Hai. I know what I'm doing."

Xiao Yan then followed Medusa all the way to her sleeping quarters.

Looking at the vast sleeping quarters, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Medusa sat on her bed and looked at Xiao Yan, saying, "What do you want to tell me? Speak."

Xiao Yan casually found a place to sit down.

"Queen, I know your purpose for wanting the Exotic Fire, so I can help you," Xiao Yan said confidently.

Medusa clearly didn't believe him and asked doubtfully, "Oh?"

"You want to use the power of the Exotic Fire to evolve your bloodline, awaken your ancient bloodline, and thus break through to the Dou Zong level!"
