In fact, while he was still inside the residence's courtyard, Lu Changfeng had already sensed the presence of a Dou Huang expert outside.
If he had not been mistaken, that person should have been Queen Medusa.
However, Lu Changfeng had paid it no mind at the time.
As for why Queen Medusa was here and what thoughts she harbored, she had actually already guessed it all.
It was nothing more than the enormous stir Jia Xingtian's breakthrough to Dou Zong had caused throughout the Jia Ma Empire.
For a time, countless experts had wanted to come seeking the method for refining the Sect Breaking Pill, or a finished pill itself. Queen Medusa was probably no exception.
After all, the Snake-People Tribe Empire had suffered oppression at human hands for so many years. Queen Medusa had always wanted to break through, but had never found an opportunity.
In the original Battle Through the Heavens, Queen Medusa and Xiao Xun'er were both members of Xiao Yan's harem.
Since he had transmigrated here, he naturally had to be much better than their two wives being ill together. That was a must.
At that moment, Lu Changfeng took out a pill and handed it to Xiao Xun'er before him.
"I refined this pill just a short while ago. Xun'er, take it."
At this, Xiao Xun'er nodded. Without asking what the pill's specific effects were, she swallowed it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Lu Changfeng could not help smiling and teasing her.
"Say, Xun'er, you swallowed it straight away without even asking what it does?"
Hearing his words, Xiao Xun'er immediately broke into a sweet smile.
"So what? Would Brother Changfeng ever hurt me? I don't believe that for a second."
Xiao Xun'er spoke with a grin, then continued.
"I'm guessing this is another pill that will stabilize my pregnancy and benefit our child, right? I know without even asking."
After stroking Xiao Xun'er's head with a smile, Lu Changfeng went out, making his way outside.
Seeing someone emerge from inside, Queen Medusa immediately concealed her Dou Emperor presence and hid in the shadows.
Yet as he walked along the path, Lu Changfeng spoke calmly.
"Enough. With that little strength, don't bother hiding from me. Come out already."
Queen Medusa, concealed in the shadows, immediately sucked in a cold breath, utterly shocked.
Just how strong was this Lu Changfeng? Even if he could refine a sixth-grade pill, the Sect Breaking Pill...
Presumably, his strength should have reached the Dou Wang level. After all, Gu He was a Dou Wang expert.
But I'm a Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor.
To think this Lu Changfeng could actually sense my presence. That really is rather impressive.
Could this be an alchemist's soul power?
Her heart full of questions, Queen Medusa did not dwell on it.
Instead, she stepped straight out and came before Lu Changfeng, then spoke.
"You're Lu Changfeng, correct? I am Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe."
Looking at Queen Medusa before him, Lu Changfeng remained perfectly calm and said little.
"Why have you come looking for me? Just say it. I like people who are straightforward."
Hearing this, Queen Medusa did not conceal anything and spoke directly.
She laid out the purpose of her visit in full.
"I heard you refined a pill for Jia Xingtian of the Jia Ma Empire."
"And that pill successfully allowed him to break through to Dou Zong. I presume that really happened?"
Queen Medusa's words had only just fallen, before there was even time for a pause.
Lu Changfeng smiled faintly again, then spoke.
"What? You want me to refine that pill for you?"
Hearing his words, Queen Medusa did not continue speaking, but immediately nodded.
"If you want me to refine a pill for you, you'll have to show enough sincerity."
At that moment, Queen Medusa began pondering.
Speaking of sincerity...
What could I offer? The Snake-People Tribe's friendship? He might not think much of that.
For a moment, Queen Medusa did not know what to say.
So she began muttering to herself.
What sincerity should she offer to get him to refine a sixth-grade pill for her?
"What do you need? If you need anything, my Snake-People Tribe Empire will certainly give you its full support."
"Or a favor from my Snake-People Tribe Empire. Surely you know how much weight that carries in the Jia Ma Empire?"
Yet upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng could not help jumping up.
"What are you laughing at?"
Seeing him like this, Queen Medusa knitted her brows slightly and asked with some displeasure.
No matter how she looked at it, the smile he had just shown seemed somewhat mocking.
Even if he could refine sixth-grade pills, he should not have shown such a mocking smile, should he?
No matter what, their Snake-People Tribe Empire had a Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor expert presiding over it.
How dare he look down on them like this?
Yet Lu Changfeng was precisely that arrogant, even coldly tossing a remark her way.
"Your Snake-People Tribe Empire? Sorry, I really don't think much of it."
The instant his words fell, Queen Medusa's expression immediately turned to shock.
She had never imagined Lu Changfeng would actually say something like that.
Had she not witnessed it herself, Queen Medusa would never have dared believe it.
However, Queen Medusa did not say anything more about it.
"What do you want?"
Queen Medusa bit her lip, then spoke.
"What I want, I'm afraid you can't give me."
"How do you know I can't forget you? Just name it. Whatever it is, this sect can fetch it for you."
"And I can guarantee that I keep my word, provided you help me refine the Sect Breaking Pill."
As she finished speaking, Queen Medusa looked at Lu Changfeng before her, waiting for his answer.
Lu Changfeng merely smiled.
"Really? Then I'll say it."
"If you don't write it out, there is still nothing in the Jia Ma Empire that I, Queen Medusa, cannot obtain."
Yet the instant her words fell, Queen Medusa never could have imagined that Lu Changfeng would say what he did next.
"I want a child with Snake-People blood. What do you think?"
Lu Changfeng deliberately teased Queen Medusa, toying with her a little to see how she would react.
Queen Medusa's expression turned shocked on the spot, and she thought she had misheard.
"What did you say? You mean you want this queen to bear you a child?"
