Evolution Begins

Medusa eagerly accepted the Jade Bottle, but in her haste, she accidentally touched Lin Qing's fingertips. Having never directly touched a man before, she felt the warmth from Lin Qing's fingertips and quickly withdrew her hand from the Jade Bottle. However, a faint ripple stirred in her heart, which she could not calm down.

Medusa put away the Medicinal Pill, her beautiful eyes looking intently at Lin Qing with a hint of gentleness, before she said somewhat casually, "... Thank you!"

The strong-willed Medusa actually thanked him? This made Lin Qing glance at her a couple more times, but that was all. He asked her:

When did the evolution begin?

"Tonight!"

The Snake-People Holy City, an island in the middle of a lake.

The island is surrounded by highly poisonous lake water, and there is even a Serpentine Magical Beast living in the lake. The island is well-maintained, with flowers, plants, and bamboo forests.

The small stone pool was filled with Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Above the spring water was a transparent energy shield. Beneath the shield, in the center of the stone pool, Cyan Lotus Seat stood quietly. At this moment, a ball of Cyan Flame was slowly churning on the Cyan Lotus Seat.

This ball of Cyan Flame possessed great spirituality. As it churned slightly, it would sometimes condense into the shape of a lotus flower, and sometimes into a tiny Cyan Flame snake, floating and coiling within the lotus seat. Its gentle appearance was extremely endearing.

But none of that matters today; what matters is that it will witness the evolution of Medusa ahead of schedule.

In the open area, Lin Qing and Medusa stood facing each other.

They looked up at the bright moon in the sky, its light spilling down on them like water, creating a thin, silvery-white veil over them.

Lin Qing glanced at Medusa. Medusa was still wearing a luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe, which wrapped her exquisite and graceful figure. Her full and hot body exuded a bewitching allure, as well as elegance and nobility. Her pair of narrow, light purple phoenix eyes were naturally charming, and could almost draw the gaze of every man.

Beneath the purple brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was visible, lazily swaying and exuding wildness and exotic charm.

Under the moonlight, Medusa's face was somewhat hazy, like the white moonlight of his ideal, but even in the haze, the light in her beautiful eyes became even more determined.

Medusa took a deep breath and looked up at the silvery-white jade disc. A rare moment of hesitation flashed across her alluring face, but it quickly returned to its resolute expression. Then, her fiery body stood upright.

"I'm starting!"

"Let's begin! Remember to keep your mind focused!"

Lin Qing didn't say much, because he couldn't help her at this point; she had to rely on herself for everything.

Queen Medusa lightly bit her red lips with her pearly teeth. Beneath her purple brocade robe, two sections of snow-white wrists were revealed. With a flick of her slender hand, a bottle of Jade-Green Medicinal Liquid appeared in her hand.

Immediately, she poured the medicine into her mouth, pursed her red lips slightly, casually tossed aside the Jade Bottle, and slowly formed several hand seals in front of her.

As Queen Medusa's hand seals changed, the Green Lotus suddenly trembled violently, and the light barrier above the stone pool gradually disappeared. After the light barrier disappeared, the Cyan Flame on the Green Lotus seemed to have been freed from their shackles and began to become more active.

Queen Medusa waved her hand, and the unleashed Cyan Flame burst forth, surging into a raging inferno in the blink of an eye.

Under the raging fire, the surrounding flowers, grass, and bamboo forests began to wither rapidly.

Ignoring the plants around him that were rapidly drying out from the scorching heat, he glanced at Lin Qing in front of him with a complicated expression.

Her jade-like hands slowly unbuttoned the brocade robe, and a perfect jade body, as if it were a masterpiece of heaven, was exposed nakedly before Lin Qing.

Under the silvery moonlight, her perfectly voluptuous body, as white as jade, exuded an allure that made one's mouth dry.

Her beautiful face, with an unintentional hint of alluring charm, resembled that of a fairy; her long, fair neck revealed an elegant curve...

Her slender waist seemed too delicate to be grasped in one hand, yet her slight thinness revealed a sense of suppleness. Her flat and tender abdomen had not an ounce of excess fat, and at first glance, one felt an irresistible urge to reach out and gently touch it.

Below that slender waist was a wild purple snake tail, which swayed slightly, revealing its exotic charm.

Medusa's sudden movement immediately aroused Lin Qing, who was enjoying a feast for the eyes. It is said that Queen Medusa was born with a kind of charm, which is the most potent aphrodisiac for men. Of course, with her current strength, she can control that charm at will, but when she is naked, that charm will be released naturally. Unexpectedly, it is true.

This frightened him so much that he quickly closed his eyes and silently chanted in his mind:

"Ice has been cold for millennia, yet all things remain still; the heart should be calm, and I should gaze upon my solitary spirit; when heart and spirit are united, the breath should follow; with balance, one remains undisturbed by myriad changes; without delusion or anger, without desire or seeking; without abandoning or forsaking, without action or ego."

Medusa glanced at Lin Qing, who had his eyes closed, her eyes sparkling, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and a rare tenderness appeared on her face.

After swallowing the Soul-Nourishing Saliva she had just held in her mouth, Queen Medusa let her purple brocade robe slip to the ground. She slowly stepped forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on the Cyan Flame in mid-air, biting her red lips as she murmured softly, "If I cultivate step by step, I don't know when I'll be able to advance to the Dou Zong level. To advance quickly, I have to take this method. Moreover, if I don't break through my bloodline, I might be trapped at the Dou Zong for life. With the emergence of Dou Zong powerhouses in the surrounding empires one after another, this Northwest region will likely never be peaceful again. To protect my people, I must advance further at the Dou Zong level."

Then she looked at Lin Qing was gentle, refined, and incredibly handsome. Remembering how he treated Lin Qi, Lion, and the others, there was something she couldn't bring herself to say.

She could tell that although Lin Qing usually appeared to be a gentle and kind-hearted person, he had a big heart, big enough to roam freely in this world.

After I repay these four years, I won't owe you anything anymore. Once the clan is settled and I become Dou Venerable or even Dou Sheng, then let me help you clear some obstacles! She knew that the Dou Qi Continent was a dog-eat-dog world where good people didn't live long, so she sincerely hoped he would live a long life.

After saying this, Queen Medusa casually pulled off the purple ribbon binding her dark hair, and her smooth, black hair cascaded down to her waist.

She gently tossed her head, her hair moving with it; the casual movement added to Queen Medusa's alluring charm.

With her hands slightly clasped together and her beautiful eyes half-closed, Queen Medusa hands continuously changed into strange hand seals. As her hand seals changed, the energy fluctuations between heaven and earth in the bamboo forest suddenly became more intense.
