Queen Medusa was stunned by Lu Changfeng's words and stood rooted to the spot for a long while, unable to recover.
She thought she had misheard. This young human actually wanted her to bear him a child?
The queen of the Snake-People Tribe, serving as a breeding tool for a human alchemist?
What an outrageous joke!
Queen Medusa sneered, undisguised killing intent in her eyes.
"You think you're worthy of having this queen bear your child?"
"Dream on!"
After saying this, the Dou Qi within her began to surge as she prepared to teach this human who knew neither the heights of heaven nor the depths of earth a lesson.
Whether he was a seventh-tier alchemist or not, he had to pay the price for daring to say such things to the queen of the Snake-People Tribe.
Queen Medusa raised her hand, and her presence as a Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor erupted instantly, making even the surrounding air tremble.
She would make this human understand that the queen of the Snake-People Tribe was not someone just anyone could humiliate.
Yet the next second, her expression changed.
The Dou Qi that had just erupted seemed to strike an invisible wall and was instantly forced back down by an even more terrifying power.
Queen Medusa felt as though something had forcibly pinned down the surging Dou Qi inside her, leaving her unable to circulate even a trace.
Her entire body froze in place, her expression shifting from anger to shock.
What exactly just happened?
What was going on?
Where was her Dou Qi? Why couldn't she use it at all?
Queen Medusa desperately tried to mobilize the Dou Qi within her, but no matter how hard she tried, it remained utterly motionless, as though it had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
She, a mighty Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor, could not release even a trace of Dou Qi!
The sensation sent an unprecedented fear welling up inside her.
Seeing Queen Medusa in such a sorry state, Lu Changfeng sneered, his tone carrying a measure of disdain.
"With your paltry strength, stop making a spectacle of yourself here."
Queen Medusa was completely stunned by these words.
Never in her life had anyone spoken to her like this.
As queen of the Snake-People Tribe, she had been born to stand high above others, and no one had ever dared to address her in such a tone.
Let alone suppress her completely like this.
Queen Medusa bit her lip, anger and humiliation intertwining within her.
But she also clearly realized one thing: the young man before her was far stronger than she had imagined.
Suppressing her Dou Qi without her noticing was absolutely beyond the means of an ordinary expert.
Queen Medusa's gaze grew grave as she stared at Lu Changfeng and asked, enunciating every word.
"Just... how strong are you?"
Seeing her so furious and shocked instead stirred a desire to conquer her within Lu Changfeng.
The queen of the Snake-People Tribe, proud, coldly beautiful, and lofty.
The more a woman like this resisted, the more interesting she became.
A faint smile curled at the corners of Lu Changfeng's lips, and he stepped toward Queen Medusa.
Seeing him approach, Queen Medusa immediately tried to take a step back.
But her body seemed nailed to the spot, and she discovered she could not move.
It was unclear whether Lu Changfeng's presence was suppressing her or whether she herself was trapped by that fear.
Watching Lu Changfeng approach step by step, Queen Medusa rapidly turned over possibilities in her mind.
Just how powerful was this young man?
Could he... have reached a realm beyond Dou Zong?
Impossible!
The Jia Ma Empire hadn't had even a single Dou Zong for a very long time. How could someone so young have reached a level beyond Dou Zong?
But that suppressive force just now had clearly far surpassed the level of a Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor.
The more Queen Medusa thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed, and her expression kept shifting.
While she was still filled with shock, Lu Changfeng had already arrived before her.
They were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Queen Medusa raised her head to look at the young man before her and was just about to speak.
Yet the next second, Lu Changfeng simply lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
The movement came so suddenly that Queen Medusa froze completely.
Her eyes widened, and shock gradually spread across her face.
This fellow... had actually kissed her!
That bastard!
Queen Medusa's mind was in complete chaos, and she even forgot to resist.
She, the dignified queen of the Snake-People Tribe, had actually been kissed on the cheek by a young human?
Who would believe such a thing if word got out?
Queen Medusa remained stunned for a long while before coming to her senses. A faint blush rose on her cheeks, but anger and shame outweighed it.
"You bastard!"
"How dare you..."
Queen Medusa spoke through gritted teeth, but halfway through, she realized she had no idea how to continue.
In all her years, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Seeing her both embarrassed and furious, Lu Changfeng's smile deepened.
"What? It was just a kiss. Is such a big reaction necessary?"
"Didn't you just tell me to dream on?"
"Then I'd like to see whether this dream can come true."
Queen Medusa trembled with rage at these words, yet there was nothing she could do to the man before her.
She could not use her Dou Qi at all, nor could she even move. She could only stand there and let him toy with her.
The feeling left her so embarrassed and vexed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lu Changfeng found her rather entertaining like this. The queen of the Snake-People Tribe usually stood high above others, and seeing her suffer such a setback was a rare sight.
He took a step back and withdrew his suppressive presence.
The sense of restraint on Queen Medusa vanished instantly, and the Dou Qi within her resumed circulating.
She hurriedly retreated two steps to put some distance between them, watching Lu Changfeng warily.
Strangely, however, she neither immediately attacked to take revenge nor turned to leave.
Queen Medusa stood in place, her expression exceedingly complicated.
On one hand, she felt anger and humiliation; on the other, she was filled with curiosity about this young man's identity and purpose.
Just what was this man's background?
Why had he appeared in the Jia Ma Empire?
Queen Medusa bit her lip, countless thoughts churning within her.
In the end, she spoke, her tone somewhat softer than before, though it still held a trace of coldness.
"What exactly do you want?"
"If you meant to humiliate this queen, you've already succeeded."
"But if you have something else in mind, then make yourself clear."
Lu Changfeng smiled at her words, watching her struggle to maintain her composure.
"I already told you what I want."
"Go back and think it over carefully. Come find me once you've made up your mind. Oh, and the same goes for the Sect Breaking Pill. Think it through before we discuss it again."
After saying this, Lu Changfeng turned and walked back toward the residence.
Queen Medusa stood where she was, watching his retreating figure grow distant as an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.
She, the dignified queen of the Snake-People Tribe, had never been treated this way by anyone. Just who on earth was this young man named Lu Changfeng?
Meanwhile, the smile had yet to fade from Lu Changfeng's face as he turned and left.
The queen of the Snake-People Tribe, a Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor, proud and coldly beautiful. If a woman like that could be won over, that would be truly interesting for a man.
As Lu Changfeng pushed open the courtyard gate and entered the residence, he was still thinking about what had just happened.
Queen Medusa's face, flushed with both shame and anger, had been even more spectacular than he had imagined.
