Lan Hong greatly admired Yue Mei's loyalty. Seeing how patient she was, he said, "I'm not asking you to betray Queen Medusa. I'm offering her a better choice."
Yue Mei looked at Lan Hong, unable to understand what he meant.
"I can help Queen Medusa complete her evolution and advance smoothly to Dou Zong, in exchange for the Green Lotus Core Flame in her possession."
"Why should I believe you?"
Roar!
With a single roar from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Yue Mei was forced to bend at the waist by its sheer presence.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had also grown considerably stronger after following Lan Hong. Not only had Lan Hong fed her quite a few medicinal pills for practice, but he had also developed a cultivation method tailored to her circumstances.
Before taking human form, spirit beasts cultivated through bloodline inheritance. They had no specialized cultivation methods, and most human cultivation methods were unsuitable for spirit beasts.
The cultivation method Lan Hong had tailored for the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could allow her to break through to the seventh tier as quickly as possible.
Lan Hong patted the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and only then did she lie back down.
"You've seen it yourself. I have absolutely no need to deceive you. Surely you don't think I couldn't find Queen Medusa without your help.
"The only reason I asked you to lead the way was because I didn't want any misunderstandings. I don't like trouble.
"Otherwise, I could have simply forced my way in and completely suppressed the entire Snake People Clan."
Lan Hong revealed his dragon eyes with their vertical pupils, and the overwhelming pressure made Yue Mei bow in submission.
Only after Lan Hong withdrew his pressure did Yue Mei speak.
