Taming the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake

Qinglin and Medusa both watched without blinking, wanting to know what he was up to.

After more than a dozen breaths, one eyelid of the motionless Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake suddenly twitched.

Then, its two enormous snake heads slowly opened their eyes!

"Hiss—"

It first flicked its tongue in confusion. Sensing the auras around it, it abruptly raised its heads and assumed a wary posture.

However, Lu Xia had poisoned it, leaving its entire body severely weakened. It soon flopped back down onto the sand.

"It's... it's alive?!"

Qinglin's eyes widened, her face filled with shock.

"Brother Xia, y-you can actually bring a dead magical beast back to life?"

Medusa's eyes were full of disbelief as well.

She had clearly checked earlier and found that this snake no longer had any life aura. How could it have come back to life?

What kind of sinister art was this?

"It isn't resurrection. I don't have that kind of ability."

Lu Xia smiled and explained,

"I merely used a specially made poison to put it into a state of suspended death. It looks no different from being dead."

Only then did the two women understand. So it had been suspended death!

Lu Xia looked at Qinglin, pointed at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake on the ground, and said with a smile,

"This Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake is a fourth-tier fire-attribute magical beast. Its strength is fairly decent."

"It has already been bound by my restriction and cannot resist. Try using your Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to tame it. From now on, it will be your companion."

Qinglin looked at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake on the ground, then at Lu Xia.

"R-really? It will be mine from now on?"

"Of course it will." Lu Xia nodded with a smile.

Hearing this, Medusa cast Qinglin a complicated look, then looked at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake on the ground.

Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils... they were born to restrain snake-type magical beasts.

She looked again at Lu Xia, who wore a faint smile, and found herself increasingly unable to see through this man.

He seemed to know everything, to have arranged everything in advance. Everything was under his control.

Qinglin took a deep breath and activated the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils according to the method Lu Xia had taught her.

Three flower-shaped marks slowly revolved within her jade-green eyes, and an invisible pressure descended upon the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

The somewhat restless Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake sensed this bloodline suppression. Both its heads lowered at once, and it let out meek hisses to show its submission.

This was Qinglin's first attempt at taming a magical beast with her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. She could feel a faint, mysterious connection forming between herself and the massive creature before her.

It was as though, with a mere thought, she could command this fourth-tier magical beast to do anything.

The novel sensation brought an excited flush to her face. She tentatively issued an order in her heart.

The next moment, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake lying on the ground slowly began to slither. Its dozen-meter-long body wound across the sand and soon reached Qinglin's feet.

Its two massive heads lifted slightly and gently rubbed against Qinglin's calves. The cold snake scales made her feel a little ticklish.

"Brother Xia! I did it! I really can control it!"

Qinglin raised her head, her face brimming with a delighted smile.

She could sense a feeling of attachment and affection from the Fire Spirit Snake, and it obeyed her commands.

Lu Xia watched the scene with a gratified smile.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils truly lived up to their reputation. Even in their initial awakening, they could control a fourth-tier Fire Spirit Snake with such ease.

Once Qinglin grew stronger, even higher-tier snake-type magical beasts would likely be unable to escape her control.

Medusa's pupils shrank slightly, and turbulent waves rose in her heart.

So this was the power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?

She had seen records of this legendary eye technique in ancient clan texts. She knew that those who possessed such eyes were the natural emperors of all snake-kind.

She had never imagined that this legendary bloodline truly existed, and that it had awakened within a little girl.

Medusa felt both awe at this supreme bloodline and a measure of envy.

The Snake-People Tribe had endured for thousands of years without producing a single wielder of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Yet Lu Xia had come across one so casually.

Just how many secrets was this man hiding?

Qinglin stretched out her small hand and gently stroked the Fire Spirit Snake's head.

The Fire Spirit Snake did not resist. It narrowed its eyes in comfort, its two heads taking turns rubbing against her palm with great intimacy.

"How about I call you Little Flame from now on?"

Qinglin stroked its cool scales, smiling brightly.

"You're red all over, and you're fire-attributed. Little Flame suits you perfectly."

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake seemed to understand her. Both heads nodded at once, very pleased with the name.

"Look how happy you are."

Lu Xia smiled and shook his head before saying,

"Alright, Qinglin, put it away. We should get going. The weather in the desert changes often; if we wait any longer, we may run into a sandstorm."

"Mm!"

Qinglin nodded obediently. With a thought, the three small flowers in her jade-green eyes glimmered faintly, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake at her feet turned into a streak of red light and was stored within the exclusive space of her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Having tamed her first magical beast, Qinglin was especially excited along the way.

Medusa followed beside Lu Xia, her gaze occasionally falling on Qinglin's back ahead of them, but she remained silent.

Lu Xia walked at an unhurried pace, his Dou Zong perception spreading out. Every movement in the surroundings was fully within his grasp.

The three of them walked for two or three hours like this before Lu Xia suddenly stopped.

"What is it?"

Medusa noticed the change in him and asked.

"Nothing. Let's keep moving."

Lu Xia answered blandly, his tone casual. "They should be here for you."

Medusa's heart tightened. Several figures in the distance were rapidly darting toward them, arriving before the three of them in only a few breaths.

At the front was a snake-person dressed in a gray robe. His aura was steady, and he was clearly a Mid-stage Dou Emperor.

Behind him followed four Snake-People powerhouses at the Dou Wang level. Their expressions were solemn as they stared in this direction.

The newcomers were the Snake-People Tribe's Third Elder and several clansmen. They had searched the desert for Medusa for two full days before finally finding her here.

The Third Elder's gaze first fell upon Medusa. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he let out a breath of relief.

Then his gaze swept to Lu Xia beside her. Fury immediately surged within him. He glared at Lu Xia and shouted sternly,

"Bold human! You actually dared abduct the queen of our Snake-People Tribe! You must be tired of living!"

The aura of a Mid-stage Dou Emperor erupted from him. His Dou Qi burst outward as he prepared to charge at Lu Xia and kill him.

"Third Elder, stop!"

Medusa's expression changed, and she immediately shouted to stop him.

She knew Lu Xia's strength well. Let alone one Third Elder, even ten Third Elders combined would not be enough for him to fight.

If the Third Elder truly attacked, he likely would not even withstand one move before being instantly killed.

Hearing Medusa's voice, the Third Elder froze and hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty! You needn't be afraid! We will rescue you and take you back at once!"

"This human has used some vile sorcery to control you. Even if I must risk my life today, I will save you!"

In his eyes, Medusa must have been controlled by this human through some despicable method.
