A Deal with Medusa! [Please Follow]

Medusa was not polite about it and took it directly.

After hesitating for a moment.

She slowly parted her red lips and took a small bite. Her eyes lit up. It was delicious—she had truly never eaten roasted meat this good before!

And this had been roasted by that guy!

Seeing that Medusa had not flown into a rage and had instead started eating in disbelief, Hai Bodong found everything completely different from what he had imagined.

Had Medusa submitted? Impossible. Medusa should not be someone who would submit to others.

Would she have acted like this if he had luckily defeated her back then?

Hai Bodong ate as he pondered it.

Impossible!

After Medusa finished eating, she sat cross-legged on the mat. Her beautiful eyes widened. He had even covered her with something, and there was a mat too!

But humans had always been cunning. The Snake-People had rules: they must never trust humans lightly. They were all hypocrites.

Since that was the case, then I'll just eat, eat, eat!

"I'm still hungry!"

"I want more!"

Medusa tossed aside the bone, radiating the bearing of a queen. Cold and aloof, she stretched out a hand and spoke indifferently.

Since I can't beat him anyway, I'll just drain his supplies!

Hmph!

I have a temper too.

Xiao Tian immediately handed her another roasted rabbit. "Since you ate my food, how are you going to repay me?"

"And not long ago, I treated your injuries!"

Medusa froze slightly, crossing her arms. Her expression remained cold, like a snow lotus atop an iceberg, radiating a faint chill. "As expected, you humans do everything with schemes and ulterior motives."

"Let me tell you, I won't do anything."

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew over, lifting Medusa's long black hair.

Under the moonlight, her golden crown gleamed brilliantly, and her slender, seductive figure was mesmerizing.

Even Hai Bodong stared blankly for a moment.

Medusa truly deserved her reputation as the famed beauty of the Jia Ma Empire!

If he had not followed Xiao Tian today, he probably would not have had the chance to see this.

However, what Hai Bodong admired most was that Xiao Tian had actually managed to keep Medusa in check.

If it had been anyone else, they would probably have started fighting by now.

Even if the other party were a Dou Zong expert, Medusa would have fought without hesitation. She definitely would not have acted like this.

Looking at Medusa's innate queenly aura, Xiao Tian did not indulge her and spoke directly. "How about this? If you help me deal with a certain faction, I can consider helping you successfully advance to Dou Zong."

"I hear that your Snake-People have a method of using the power of powerful Heavenly Flames to temper your body and bloodline. If you successfully evolve, not only can you advance to Dou Zong, but you can also transform into an even more powerful ancient magical beast."

Medusa suddenly narrowed her beautiful eyes, her expression turning cold. Xiao Tian actually knew so much.

"The Heavenly Flame is even more important to me, so it is even less likely that I will give it to you. Though you are a Dou Zong-level expert, I am naturally not afraid of you either."

Xiao Tian smiled faintly. "But I also heard that this method of evolution is extremely dangerous. If it fails or is interrupted midway, you will perish."

"Fortunately, I have a method that can bypass those dangers and ensure a successful evolution."

Medusa's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her face was full of shock. "How could you possibly have such a method?" Even she did not know there was another way.

Xiao Tian raised a finger, and Samadhi True Fire emerged. The power contained within it was terrifyingly immense, even surpassing that of a Heavenly Flame.

The surrounding space itself seemed to be affected. Medusa's red lips parted slightly in astonishment. "You actually possess a Heavenly Flame?"

"This is Samadhi True Fire. It is extremely effective at tempering your meridians and physical body. It is far stronger than a Heavenly Flame."

Medusa gazed at Xiao Tian. "This Heavenly Flame is indeed very powerful, but how am I supposed to trust you?"

Medusa began to think. If this method was truly viable, it was worth trying—but could she trust him?

"Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word afterward? Once I advance to Dou Zong, you may not be my match anymore." Medusa looked at Xiao Tian, her eyes carrying a trace of confidence, alluring and captivating.

Xiao Tian chuckled softly. "Since I have a way to make you advance, I also have a way to make you perish!"

Medusa's expression darkened slightly. She gave a soft snort and voiced her concern. "Who knows whether you might mix something into the Heavenly Flame? Then I would fall into your trap instead!"

"If I truly had other intentions, I would have already acted on them earlier. Besides, although you are rather good-looking, if you always keep up this icy attitude, perhaps I won't like you anymore." Xiao Tian said calmly.

"You..." Medusa shot Xiao Tian a sideways glance. Anger filled her exquisite, seductive eyes, and she puffed up in rage, lightly clenching her delicate fist. She was still injured now—otherwise, she would have thrown a punch at him.

She would let Xiao Tian know exactly how powerful her fist was.

Beside them, Hai Bodong ate rabbit meat, utterly stunned. If he told anyone that someone had spoken to Medusa like this, they would never believe him.

The normally proud and cold Queen Medusa actually acted this way!

"As for whether you believe me, that is up to you. Since using a Heavenly Flame is a gamble, trusting me can be one as well."

Facing Medusa's doubts, Xiao Tian spoke slowly.

Before long, Soul Hall would likely return in force. Wu Protector would bring news of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade back to Soul Hall, and Soul Hall would definitely send people again.

Previously, they knew the Xiao Clan was no longer a force to be reckoned with, but they could not find it. Now that they had confirmed it, and knew he possessed the strength of a Dou Zong, they would only send people who were at least Dou Zong.

For now, he had to raise his strength quickly and develop some forces of his own.

If Medusa advanced to Dou Zong, she would count as another fighting force.

As for Hai Bodong, once he recovered his Dou Huang strength, he would count too. Brother Dong was a real man—when trouble came, he truly stepped up. Xiao Tian could help him raise his strength as well.

No matter how powerful he was, it still would not be enough without a strong faction.

He needed companions at the very least!

In the Jia Ma Empire, it seemed there were only Yun Shan and Medusa.

But Yun Shan had been untrustworthy. He had already joined Soul Hall and had been killed by Xiao Tian.

After thinking for a moment, Medusa slowly said, "Join your faction? But I still prefer freedom!"

"Tell me your true purpose!"

Medusa was also curious about Xiao Tian's request. She possessed Medusa's bloodline and beauty capable of toppling kingdoms and cities. Every human who saw her was enchanted and attracted by her beauty; others would surely make some excessive demand.

Yet he only wanted me to help him deal with a certain faction!

Xiao Tian nodded. "Naturally, I will not restrict your freedom. It is simply that the other faction is extremely powerful."

"Its name is... Soul Hall!"

As soon as he said that.

Medusa was also startled. She had heard of Soul Hall many times.

Compared with whether she could evolve successfully, this seemed even more crucial. If it could be done, then agreeing to him would not hurt.

"Xiao Tian, what? You want to deal with Soul Hall?" Hai Bodong naturally knew some things about this mysterious faction as well.

"I hear Soul Hall is extremely powerful and mysterious. Did you offend them?"

Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes. "No, they offended me."

Medusa was not overly shocked by this. As long as it posed no threat to the Snake-People, it was fine. It was merely a transaction, and dealing with Soul Hall was not impossible. She slowly said, "I can help you, but only if you can let me evolve successfully and advance to Dou Zong!"

"No problem. Oh, Medusa, can you remove the seal you placed on Hai Bodong?" Xiao Tian suddenly asked.

Since everything had been settled, he no longer needed to refine a Breaking Misfortune Pill. Medusa should be able to undo the seal she had placed herself!
