Three punches shattered the queen's soul-Shen Luo, you are my master

Shen Luo's fist hung in midair, barely three inches from her face. The wind from his punch stung her cheeks.

He looked down at the once lofty queen of the Snake-People Tribe. She was curled up in the mud now, more than half her seven-colored scales shattered, exposing the bloody, mangled flesh beneath.

Mud and blood stained that face whose beauty could topple kingdoms. The corner of her mouth was split, and her left eye was so swollen she could barely open it. Not a trace remained of her earlier arrogance.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this from the start?"

Shen Luo withdrew his fist, his tone flat.

Medusa bit her lip. Tears of humiliation welled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She struggled to stand, only to discover that the bone in her right leg was cracked. The slightest exertion sent pain stabbing into her heart.

"Hiss!"

She sucked in a sharp breath and collapsed back onto the ground.

Shen Luo showed no intention of helping her. He simply rolled his neck, his bones crackling again.

From the moment he saw Queen Medusa, Shen Luo had been considering how to subdue this Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

The current timeline was not particularly favorable to Shen Luo.

Xiao Yan had already obtained many fortuitous opportunities, while others had become entwined with him by countless threads.

He had to seize the time and fight for them!

It was not that he was targeting Xiao Yan. Since Shen Luo had transmigrated here, he could not afford to play the softhearted saint.

Should he subdue the Ancient Void Dragon?

Should he bring Queen Medusa under his control?

Should he take the purifying lotus demon flame or not?

Whatever deserved fighting for, he had to fight for. Whatever deserved snatching, he had to snatch.

With Yao Lao's help, Xiao Yan had already cultivated the Flame Mantra and obtained the green lotus core flame. Before leaving, Gu Xun'er had even given him the Gu Clan's Emperor Seal Art.

Shen Luo had to hurry. If he delayed any longer, these opportunities would slip entirely beyond his reach.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Medusa looked up at him, her voice hoarse. "An Alchemist couldn't possibly have this kind of strength. What kind of monster are you?"

Shen Luo smiled and took a crimson jade slip from inside his robe.

Flame-like patterns flowed across its surface, and an immensely powerful force of space seemed to be sealed within.

This was the Spatial Jade Slip Fire Fairy had given him!

Shen Luo squeezed hard. The jade slip shattered with a bang, and a heart-pounding force of space instantly rippled outward.

He was summoning Fire Fairy to help him seize the Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade!

If the Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade went missing, the Gu Clan would certainly send a Dou Sheng to investigate!

To be safe, he would have Fire Fairy act and erase every trace!

Until his heavenly tyrant body reached full mastery, Fire Fairy was his greatest trump card.

"Who I am doesn't matter."

Shen Luo took a healing pill from his Storage Ring and tossed it to the wounded Medusa. Then, with a gentle expression, he said, "What matters is what you should call me."

"What?"

Smack!

Shen Luo suddenly reached out with his large hand and slapped Medusa hard across her exquisite face.

Medusa's pupils contracted sharply. She covered her burning cheek with a slender, jade-like hand and instinctively shrank backward.

"M-Master..." Queen Medusa said shakily.

Beneath Shen Luo's iron fists, all her pride and confidence had vanished like smoke.

It hurt so much!

Being a snake getting beaten really hurt!

Shen Luo smiled.

Three punches shattered the queen's soul-Shen Luo, you are my master!

He lowered his head to study Medusa closely, his narrow eyes curving into crescents. "See? Aren't you being good now? Get down on the ground and stick your ass up."

At his words, Medusa's face alternated between pale and livid.

The position Shen Luo demanded filled her with shame, but if she refused, he would surely beat her half to death.

After a brief hesitation, Queen Medusa reluctantly lay down on the ground. Then she raised her head and chest, lifting her ass as high as she could.

Only then did Shen Luo nod in satisfaction.

One must never be deceived by Queen Medusa's appearance. She was a queen who had ruled the Snake-People Tribe for years.

Not only had she contended with Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan of the Jia Ma Empire for years, she had also waged continual wars against other empires. Only through all that had she preserved the Snake-People Tribe's last territory.

To make someone like her submit, one had to be strong enough and ruthless enough to plant fear in her heart.

How could someone who dared to use heavenly flames to evolve possibly be subdued with a few words?

Medusa cautiously picked up the pill from the ground and swallowed it in one gulp.

Gentle medicinal energy began spreading through her body. The wounds Shen Luo had inflicted slowly healed, her broken bones rejoined, and her shattered scales regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Medusa felt a warm current pour through her body, and the pain rapidly faded.

An incense stick's worth of time later, most of her injuries had healed.

She slowly stood, swayed her rounded hips as she walked over to Shen Luo, and naturally hooked her arm through his.

"Master, please don't hit me again. I'll do as you say."

Shen Luo glanced at Medusa. "Go to my room and take the Soul Devouring Pill. You still need more training."

Medusa stiffened, then quickly nodded.

Someone with Queen Medusa's temperament was difficult to conquer, and she certainly had the right to be proud.

That was why Shen Luo had faced her as an overwhelming powerhouse from beginning to end.

"Master, are you from the Central Plains?" Medusa blinked, curiosity filling her face.

Men from the Central Plains really were ruthless when they hit women!

Shen Luo's strength surpassed her imagination. His cultivation was clearly only at the Two-Star Dou Zong level, yet even in her true form, she could not withstand a single blow from him.

More importantly, Shen Luo was so young. Though she was also a Dou Zong, she had probably eaten more salt than he had eaten rice.

There was simply no comparison!

"That's right. I'm from the Central Plains. My teacher is a ninth-grade Alchemist. As for her strength, she's merely a Six-Star Dou Sheng." Shen Luo clapped his hands, then wrapped an arm around Queen Medusa's slender waist and pulled her close.

"What? A ninth-grade Alchemist? A Six-Star Dou Sheng?" Medusa cried out, her face filled with shock.

Shen Luo's very existence seemed like an attack from a higher dimension, branding itself deep into Medusa's mind.

She had spent years in the Jia Ma Empire, exhausting every possible means to advance to Dou Zong before finally achieving what she had today!

What sort of realm was Dou Sheng?

Wouldn't a ninth-grade Alchemist be able to refine a Ninth-grade Pill?

If she could eat just one...

My heavens!

The man who beat me doesn't seem so hateful after all!

Beating means affection, and scolding means love!

Shen Luo took in every bit of Medusa's shocked expression!

"Your Majesty, becoming my pet will never mean wasting your potential. One day, you'll be thankful for the choice you made today."

Queen Medusa instinctively pressed her proud breasts against Shen Luo's chest, her breathing quickening.

Shen Luo's background, strength, and talent for alchemy had completely won her over.

Before Shen Luo, her little bit of pride was like a mayfly gazing up at the vast blue heavens.

Seeming to remember something, Shen Luo squeezed Medusa's round, pert ass with his right hand and said in a low voice, "It's time to give you a name. How about Cai Lin?"

Shen Luo remembered that in the original storyline, before returning to the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan had used the formula for the Soul Restoration Pill to negotiate a year-long bodyguard arrangement with Medusa and given her the name Cai Lin.

Now Shen Luo had beaten him to it, bestowing a name upon Queen Medusa.

"Cai Lin?"

Medusa hesitated, then nodded firmly.

Being able to follow someone like Shen Luo left her feeling not the slightest grievance. Instead, she felt immensely fortunate.

"Let's go."

Beneath the moonlight, two figures sped toward Jia Nan Academy, one behind the other.

Medusa glanced back at the devastated forest, then looked at the tall, straight figure ahead. A trace of lingering fear surfaced on her lovely face.
