Medusa, the Strong-Willed Queen

She was still somewhat worried. Without her own preparations and the optimal timing, could her chances of advancing really increase?

Medusa felt that Lei Qi had been somewhat rash.

But as she had said before, she had no right to choose.

Lei Qi took Qing Lin and continued upward. This time, he did not call for her, but the queen still chose to follow behind them.

There was no other reason.

Medusa might be able to run, but the Snake-People Clan could not.

Though she did not want to admit it, Lei Qi had her completely in his grasp.

Three had gone down, but four came back up.

When Cao Ying and the Little Fairy Doctor saw Medusa, both were somewhat puzzled.

After all, this beautiful snake woman was simply too beautiful!!

Most of all, there was that seductive, alluring aura about her. Forget men—even they, as women, could not help feeling envious.

A peerless enchantress!

"Young Master, who is she?" Cao Ying asked.

"The queen of the desert's snake people, Medusa," Lei Qi replied.

"So she really is a vixen. No wonder you came looking for her." Cao Ying gave a displeased hum.

Hearing Cao Ying's muttering, the Little Fairy Doctor thought to herself, As if you look like some proper young lady...

Cao Ying was merely a little younger, but she already possessed a thoroughly seductive charm. Once she grew "bigger," she certainly would not be inferior to this queen.

They were both devastating beauties!

"Let's go. Head for the nearest snake-people tribe." After climbing onto the golden eagle, Lei Qi gave the order directly.

The queen was very fortunate that she had not chosen to flee.

Setting aside whether she could have escaped, even a random mount of Lei Qi's was a sixth-tier magical beast. There was no need to even consider his background.

For now, she could only take things one step at a time.

"Caw~~~~"

Over a stretch of plains, the golden eagle soon spotted a desert oasis.

After arriving, Queen Medusa said, "This is the territory of one of the tribes under my command."

"Then this will do. In an uninhabited place here, I'll help you break through," Lei Qi said.

"But... the materials I prepared are all in the Snake-People Clan Temple." Medusa hesitated before explaining her current predicament.

"No need," Lei Qi said.

Queen Medusa's expression darkened slightly. Was he trying to get her killed??

But then she thought of it: if Lei Qi wanted to kill her, there was no need for such a roundabout effort. Yang Ji alone could kill her with a casual wave of his hand.

Soon, they arrived within the oasis.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Medusa went down first.

After they landed, they saw several slender snake women standing on both sides, waiting quietly.

At Queen Medusa's side stood another alluring snake woman.

She had wavy blue hair and an exceptionally perfect figure.

Though she could not yet compare to a calamity like Medusa, her skin was equally fair as snow, her figure graceful and curvaceous. She wore very little fabric, with only a gold-trimmed chest wrap covering her full breasts, outlining a breathtakingly astonishing curve.

Lei Qi did not pay her much attention. Instead, Medusa led him to the edge of a clear lake.

Only Lei Qi, Medusa, and the other women were here. As for Yang Ji, he remained outside.

After all, he did not know what Lei Qi intended to do. If something private was going on and he just stood around here, forget about the future—he might have to blow himself up on the spot, right?

Those in high positions did not like their subordinates prying into their privacy.

As for danger, that was unlikely.

Lei Qi had not made many moves, but he certainly would not be wiped out so easily. If anything seemed wrong, Yang Ji could instantly reach the lakeside.

"Come, it's time to begin." Lei Qi beckoned Medusa over.

Medusa walked to Lei Qi's side.

The sight left Yue Mei rather shaken!!

This was Queen Medusa. How could she allow a human to order her around?

Still, Yue Mei did not openly show her dissatisfaction. She had noticed the queen's gaze. Indeed, Medusa had noticed her immediately and deliberately glanced at Yue Mei, seemingly giving her a warning.

Although Yue Mei wanted to defend her queen, she still had to recognize the situation before them.

Boom!

At that moment, colorless flames ignited in Lei Qi's hand. Yes, flames without any color at all!!

Naturally, this was the Fallen Heart Flame!

"This is also a Heavenly Flame!?" Medusa froze slightly.

"This is the Fallen Heart Flame. It ranks above the Green Lotus Core Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. With me controlling it, how could your chances of breaking through not increase?" Lei Qi said as he toyed with the Fallen Heart Flame.

Having advanced to a sixth-tier alchemist, Lei Qi's fire control was beyond question—ridiculously powerful!

At the very least, assisting with an evolution would not be a problem. Besides, he had sixth-tier medicinal pills to aid her, which were countless times better than those medicinal ingredients.

When Lei Qi brought out all the pills required, including a Sect-Breaking Pill, Medusa finally understood why he did not need to go to the temple or prepare anything.

These conditions were incomparably better than hers!!!

"I'm ready."

Medusa removed her clothes. Her beautiful face inadvertently revealed a bewitching charm like that of an enchantress. Her slender, fair neck curved in an elegant line, but before Lei Qi could look any further, she formed a strange hand seal and transformed into a purple giant snake over a hundred feet long!

The purple giant snake's body was slender and powerful, faintly possessing an elegant beauty. Her pale violet eyes held none of the usual savagery. Instead, they carried a trace of calmness and indifference.

Lei Qi was in no hurry. He would have plenty of chances to admire her closely in the future, so why rush now?

Flames swiftly gathered above the lake into a lotus flower. But the effect of this lotus was clearly insufficient, so Lei Qi immediately took out the Azure Lotus that had accompanied the Green Lotus Core Flame.

After the Azure Lotus accepted the Fallen Heart Flame, its scorching heat instantly rose to another level.

"Next, it will depend on your will. If you succeed, your future will be limitless. If you fail..." Lei Qi did not finish, but both Queen Medusa and her subordinate Yue Mei understood clearly.

Success meant limitless prospects. Failure meant being reduced to ashes.

The purple giant snake did not hesitate in the slightest, because she did not like the feeling of being too weak and being threatened.

The purple giant snake charged directly into the flames, as though throwing herself into a sea of fire!

She was utterly resolute, without even the slightest hesitation.

Perhaps that was what made each Medusa of the Snake-People Clan different.

If the previous Medusa had possessed such courage, how could the Snake-People Clan still be confined to this desert today?

Within the fire lotus, the sounds of burning soon rang out, along with Queen Medusa's sharp cries of agony.
