Jia Ma Empire, Imperial Capital, the Xiao Clan's old residence.
After Xiao Tian Ce finished speaking, Xiao Tian Ming said no more. In his eyes, Xiao Tian Ce was smarter than him, so if he said so, he surely had his reasons.
Just as the two finished talking, Qinglian emerged from a spatial rift, his cheeks puffed up in anger.
"Just my rotten luck!"
The moment he came out, Qinglian could not help grumbling.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Tian Ce asked with a smile, "What happened? Couldn't find the Heavenly Flame?"
"Clan Leader, I found it, but a little girl from the Snake-People Tribe took it away.
"I was going to follow her and bring the Heavenly Flame back, but that little Snake-People girl refused to give up no matter what. She even said that if I kept trying to take it, she would swallow it outright," Qinglian said, still fuming.
Hearing this, Xiao Tian Ce gave it a little thought. This was probably the incident where Medusa took the green lotus core flame.
In the original story, although people respectfully called Medusa Queen Medusa, the Snake-People Tribe's strength, along with her own strength in the early stages, hardly warranted the word "queen."
Before an Emperor Clan like the Xiao Clan, this so-called queen was, at most, a little village girl.
"Heh, it's all right. Qinglian, she probably tricked you. Since she's one of the Snake-People, her cold, yin constitution makes it impossible for her to devour a Heavenly Flame.
"If my guess is right, she only wants the Heavenly Flame to evolve." Xiao Tian Ce waved a hand, comforting Qinglian.
Qinglian grew even angrier at this. "A mere Peak Sixth Tier dares to devour a Heavenly Flame to advance? Isn't that little girl afraid of dying?" he demanded
