Queen Medusa

[The beautiful snake-woman spotted you, but she didn't mind proudly showing off her stunning figure. During the pursuit, she even wanted to take you as her slave.]

[You chose...]

[A: Happily agree. Being the beautiful snake-woman's dog wouldn't be a loss.]

[B: Refuse without the slightest courtesy.]

"Just as expected of you." Faced with this familiar sort of choice, Xiao Yan rationally skipped over the perverted option.

[You sharply rejected the beautiful snake-woman, stirring up her competitive spirit.]

[With a Dou Wang pursuing you and Medicine Elder not intervening, you quickly found yourself unable to hold on.]

[Just then, a human party with a Dou Huang expert appeared aboard flying magical beasts.]

[After being thoughtfully rescued by a black-robed figure, you were utterly baffled.]

[Taking advantage of the chaos to enter the Snake-People Tribe's settlement, you met Queen Medusa.]

Medusa wore a regal purple brocade robe. Beneath it, her delicate body was full and exquisitely curved, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint, seductive charm.

Her three thousand strands of dark hair draped casually from her fragrant shoulders, falling straight to her slender willow waist. Beneath the brocade robe, a section of her purple snake tail was exposed. As it swayed gently, its wild, bewitching allure made one's entire body inexplicably burn.

[Your gaze lingered on that beautiful face, and your heart trembled fiercely. You understood why so many people along the border claimed that Queen Medusa's beauty was enough to rival her fearsome reputation.

This woman seemed describable only by the word "bewitching." Yet beneath that bewitching beauty, she possessed the nobility and regal grace of an empress. That captivating aura reminded you of the Dou Huang, Yun Zhi.]

[Half a year ago, Pill King Gu He discovered news that Queen Medusa had obtained a Heavenly Flame while gathering herbs.

Today, he was willing to offer two Dou Ling Pills and one Transformation Pill in exchange for the Heavenly Flame.]

[You were shocked by Pill King Gu He's lavish offer, but Medicine Elder, who had always scorned him, believed there was only an extremely low chance that he could refine Dou Ling Pills. There was no way he could produce a Transformation Pill.]

[You chose...]

[A: Ruthlessly mock Medicine Elder. If Pill King Gu He can't refine them, he can buy, trade, or seize them... There are countless ways to get them.]

[B: Remain silent and curiously look toward Queen Medusa.]

After reading the first option, Xiao Yan felt that it did make sense, but he still chose B without hesitation.

Mock Medicine Elder? Was he courting death?!

As the simulations continued, Xiao Yan discovered something.

Simulations not only allowed him to foresee the future and obtain simulation rewards, but this detached observer's perspective also let him notice problems that those involved found difficult to detect.

[Queen Medusa rejected Pill King Gu He.]

[The mysterious black-robed Dou Huang who saved you exposed Queen Medusa's purpose. The Heavenly Flame could help Queen Medusa evolve, while the current Queen Medusa was merely an energy body.]

[Queen Medusa split the Heavenly Flame's aura into four portions. Medicine Elder helped you choose east, while Gu He chose north.]

[Taking advantage of the chaos, you entered the temple and saw a small island in the middle of a lake. With Medicine Elder's help, you crossed the highly poisonous lake, which had an aerial restriction, as well as the magical beasts within it, and set foot on the island.]

[You saw the Green Lotus Core Flame, sealed with a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Queen Medusa was not far from it, preparing to begin her evolution.]

[After undoing the Green Lotus Core Flame's seal, Queen Medusa slowly unfastened the buttons of her brocade robe with her jade-like hands. A flawless body, as if it were heaven's masterpiece, was then completely bared amid the bamboo grove.]

Within the lush green bamboo grove, that perfect, full body, white as jade, radiated a temptation that left one's mouth dry and tongue parched.

Her beautiful face inadvertently revealed a demon-like seductiveness. Her long, fair neck formed an elegant curve.

Her slender willow waist seemed too narrow to fill one's hand. Yet despite appearing somewhat lean, it possessed a supple resilience. Her flat, tender abdomen had not a trace of excess flesh, and one look made it hard to resist reaching out and lightly tracing it.

Below that slender waist was a purple snake tail brimming with wildness. It swayed gently, fully displaying its exotic charm.

[At just one glance, heat rose in your lower abdomen, and you didn't dare look any longer.]

[Medicine Elder reminded you that lust was a blade hanging over one's head. Queen Medusa was innately capable of enchantment. With her current strength, she could control it freely, but in her present state, it naturally leaked out.]

[Queen Medusa bent slightly toward the Heavenly Flame and pulled off the ribbon binding her dark hair. Her black, silky strands cascaded down, falling straight to her willow waist.]

[At this point, Queen Medusa brought her hands together slightly and officially began her evolution.]

[Before long, Queen Medusa transformed into a Purple Nether Flame Snake.]

[Through Medicine Elder's explanation, you learned that the Snake-People Tribe used secret arts from childhood to capture and seal the souls of snake-shaped magical beasts. At critical moments, they could unleash them to greatly increase their strength.]

[As she collided with the Heavenly Flame, even someone as powerful as Queen Medusa let out a shrill scream. The world's energy erupted into turmoil, and a bolt of silver lightning crashed down.]

[In the end, the Purple Nether Flame Snake that Queen Medusa had transformed into became the corpse of a charred giant snake, but she should have successfully evolved.]

The two-centimeter-long little snake was covered in seven-colored scales. Its pale violet snake eyes carried a faintly sinister air, while an unusual fresh fragrance lingered around its body. Though it was only a snake now, it still exuded elegance and nobility.

[With Medicine Elder's identification, she had evolved into a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, a fire-attributed magical beast with immense potential. She seemed to have lost her memory.]

[You bribed it with the Companion Amethyst Source, which possessed pure fire-attributed energy. Medicine Elder asked whether you intended to keep it by your side.]

[You chose...]

[A: Smile and nod. An ancient magical beast had enormous potential.]

[B: Follow Medicine Elder's instructions.]

Xiao Yan felt a headache coming on. Answering Medicine Elder's questions was definitely the hardest part.

Although following Medicine Elder's instructions seemed safer, when he had asked Medicine Elder during the previous simulation, Medicine Elder had immediately gone off to gather medicinal ingredients.

This time, the Green Lotus Core Flame was right beside him, and the Flame Mantra was about to truly begin devouring a Heavenly Flame. Xiao Yan decided to choose A.

[You smiled and nodded, giving your reasons. Medicine Elder did not strongly object.]

[Using the Green Lotus Seat to store away the Green Lotus Core Flame, you immediately fled, but the mysterious black-robed Dou Huang set her sights on you.]

[However, she didn't make things too difficult for you. You recognized her as the Dou Huang, Yun Zhi.]

[Yun Zhi did not seize the Heavenly Flame. Seeing that your strength had improved considerably, she offered to introduce you to the Yunlan Sect for cultivation.]

[You chose...]

[A: Happily agree. Follow Yun Zhi to the Yunlan Sect and piss Nalan Yanran off.]

[B: Shake your head and refuse. Medicine Elder, Medicine Elder... Switching to another sect would make you an outright "traitor."]

Even if the first option hadn't been childish, Xiao Yan could never have chosen it. He was Medicine Elder's "loyal" disciple.
