Lei Luo's Bad Luck

Transforming into a massive purple snake meant Queen Medusa was going all out.

Its enormous body churned endlessly, even creating brief vacuums in the surrounding lava currents.

The immense energy threw the entire bottom of the pool into chaos, and Lei Luo's aura even leaked out several times.

Fortunately, Queen Medusa was focused on dealing with the Green Lotus Core Flame and could not spare any attention elsewhere. Otherwise, he would have been discovered long ago.

Lei Luo cautiously studied the giant purple snake, his eyelids twitching wildly.

Queen Medusa truly lived up to her name. She could withstand the scorching refinement of the Green Lotus Core Flame without perishing. Was this the strength of a peak Dou Emperor?

Amid wave after wave of horrifying roars, the energy erupting from the Green Lotus Core Flame seemed to be gradually weakening.

Lei Luo was not too disappointed by this. After all, knowing the original plot, he understood that he could pick up a Heavenly Flame for free half a year later.

Although by then, the Green Lotus Core Flame's energy would likely be somewhat depleted after being consumed by an enormous amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring and Queen Medusa's evolution.

Still, if Lei Luo tried to refine the Green Lotus Core Flame alone right now, the risks would only be greater.

Besides, his top priority was avoiding discovery by Queen Medusa. He had not thought much about anything else.

The invisible battle in the air gradually came to an end as the Green Lotus Core Flame calmed down, and Queen Medusa transformed back as well.

Though she looked somewhat disheveled, she was still as noble and aloof as ever, like an icy beauty.

What surprised Lei Luo, however, was that Queen Medusa's clothes had long since been burned away by the Heavenly Flame.

A breathtaking naked body was displayed before him.

Her perfect, full body, white as jade, radiated a temptation that left one's mouth dry.

Her beautiful face carried an inadvertent, enchanting allure like that of a demoness.

Her long, fair neck formed an elegant curve. As his gaze slowly traveled downward, he saw a pair of full, perky breasts, round and tender.

Perhaps because of the blistering heat, a glistening droplet emerged at her neck.

It then rolled all the way down, lightly gliding across one full, rounded breast.

Finally, it traced a slightly indecent curve before dripping down.

Queen Medusa's slender waist looked as though it could not withstand a single grasp.

Yet beneath that apparent delicacy was a sense of supple resilience.

There was not a trace of excess flesh on her flat, alluring abdomen. To any man, it was a fatal temptation.

Below the Queen's seductive slender waist was a wild purple snake tail.

The tail swayed slightly, revealing an exotic charm beyond compare!

This body, which had captivated the souls of men throughout the entire empire, was perfectly displayed before Lei Luo.

Most deadly of all, Queen Medusa's body emitted a powerful force of seduction.

Anyone with an unsteady mind would likely fall immediately upon encountering such allure.

What was more, with her completely naked, that seduction was magnified without limit.

If Lei Luo had not desperately restrained himself, two streams of blood would probably have already shot from his nose.

Clearly, Lei Luo was exactly the sort with an unsteady mind...

Lustful, after all. Those who knew, knew.

Suppressing the strange feelings in his heart, Lei Luo stared motionlessly at Medusa.

If he were discovered at this moment, there was no need to think about it. He would definitely be dead.

Fortunately, the fire-attributed energy permeating the lava concealed Lei Luo's aura.

Queen Medusa was naturally cold-natured and instinctively repelled fire-attributed energy, so her perception was greatly weakened as well.

By now, Queen Medusa had collected the Green Lotus Core Flame using an enormous Crystal Lotus Platform.

The Heavenly Flame, which had originally been exceptionally violent, was now enclosed within it like an obedient child.

Seeing this, Lei Luo could not help grumbling, "Damn rich girl!"

The thing in Queen Medusa's hands was not limited to the Crystal Lotus Platform.

Lei Luo did not recognize this item, and it had only been briefly mentioned in the original work. But the fact that it could restrain a Heavenly Flame showed that it was no ordinary object.

The reason Lei Luo called her a damn rich girl was the layer of white liquid wrapped around the Crystal Lotus Platform.

The protective liquid membrane formed from Battle Qi still emitted a chilling coldness, and even Queen Medusa's dark hair showed signs of freezing.

Lei Luo was all too familiar with this stuff.

Ice Spirit Cold Spring!

Thinking of how he had struggled so hard to obtain such a treasure while it was as common as cabbage to her made Lei Luo's heart ache.

After all, the Snake-People Tribe had an entire pool of it!

It seemed Queen Medusa's task was nearing its end.

Although she had successfully subdued the Green Lotus Core Flame, her injuries did not seem light either.

Drops of crimson blood fell from her snake tail, adding several touches of indescribable enchantment.

After coughing lightly a few times, Queen Medusa dragged the Crystal Lotus Platform and flew out of the lava pool, clearly intending to leave.

After all, the disturbance just now had been far too great and would surely attract the attention of many experts.

Lei Luo, however, did not hurry to leave.

Instead, he continued waiting in the lava for a while before cautiously swimming out.

Only after climbing onto the shore did Lei Luo lie flat on the ground and gasp for breath.

Moving beneath the nose of a Dou Emperor was simply too thrilling, not to mention that he had seen her completely naked.

If not for the cover provided by the lava pool, Lei Luo would have died who knew how many times over.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Lei Luo rubbed his chin for a moment. Then Yin Fire flickered between his fingers, erasing every trace of Queen Medusa's presence.

He then returned to the lava pool and used a jade knife to collect the lotus platform and lotus seeds before leaving the underground cavern.

Back on the surface of the desert, Lei Luo unexpectedly found a colorful snake scale near the cave entrance.

He hurriedly picked it up, then destroyed the bloodstains before concealing the entrance and preparing to leave.

But Lei Luo had barely walked any distance when a powerful aura appeared above his head.

"Little brother, I would like to ask you something."

The moment the middle-aged man's voice rang out, Lei Luo knew who it was.

He stopped, pressed his lips tightly together, and could not help muttering, "Did I forget to check the almanac before leaving today? Why do I keep running into everyone?"

The newcomer was none other than Gu He, the Pill King, who held an extraordinary status throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

After all, there was only one person who possessed the strength of a Dou Wang and would arrive at such a crucial moment: Gu He, the Pill King, who had been searching for a Heavenly Flame.

Lei Luo was even considering whether he should simply kill him. After all, he still had a Realm Experience Card at the Dou Emperor level.

It would be easy enough to take Gu He out without anyone knowing.

Seeing Lei Luo remain silent, Gu He in the air became wary. He did not lower his guard in the slightest because of the strength Lei Luo appeared to possess.

At last, Lei Luo slowly turned around.

He looked at Gu He in midair, a smile curling onto his lips.

"Senior, may I ask why you stopped this junior?"
