Queen Medusa’s slender fingers gently stroked the black hair falling over her forehead, her purple eyes flickering with cold light.
“What, if you want a Heavenly Flame, why do you come to me for it?
Do you think I would touch such a natural treasure like a Heavenly Flame?”
Seeing that Queen Medusa would not admit it, Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry.
From the Dou Qi within Queen Medusa’s body, he could tell that she had indeed suffered the pain of being burned by a Heavenly Flame.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her Dou Qi to be unable to recover in a short time.
Hai Bodong could not help but reveal a look of solemnity.
A Heavenly Flame…
the bloodline of the Snake-People was cold; touching a Heavenly Flame was like a moth to a flame.
Did she no longer want her life?
“Before I get angry, leave the Snake-People Tribe.
Otherwise, regardless of your strength, this King will risk everything to kill you.”
Queen Medusa licked her alluring lips, blood-scented Dou Qi lingering around her, completely wrapping her body within it.
Clearly, if Jiang Cheng continued to be persistent, with her personality, even if she had to fight to the death, she would make both of them stay in this world forever.
Seeing that Queen Medusa was stubborn, Jiang Cheng calmly extended a finger.
Currently, she was only at the peak of the Dou Huang level.
Even a Dou Zong powerhouse could directly suppress her, let alone him, who possessed Dou Sheng cultivation.
An invisible force pressed down heavily on Queen Medusa’s shoulders like a divine weapon falling from heaven.
Medusa’s face was suddenly filled with shock.
She felt her body sink, and then she was unable to control the Dou Qi wings behind her, falling directly beneath Jiang Cheng.
The sound of bones cracking echoed throughout the Holy Pool.
Crystal clear beads of sweat continuously flowed down, even soaking her clothes, revealing a figure that almost made men go crazy.
Queen Medusa gritted her teeth and said with a bit of pain, “What kind of realm have you reached?”
Jiang Cheng’s mouth was close to Queen Medusa’s ear as he said, “Dou Sheng.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Medusa’s purple eyes widened.
She was somewhat unwilling to believe his words.
Only eight short years had passed; how could he have broken through from a Nine-Star Dou Wang to Dou Sheng in one leap!
Jiang Cheng withdrew his pressure, and Queen Medusa broke into a sweat.
Her breathing became rapid, and her chest heaved continuously, proving her shocked state of mind.
“I am the Confucian Sage of the Academy. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
I do not care about the matter back then.”
Jiang Cheng gentlemanly extended his right hand, but how could Queen Medusa let this person touch her precious body?
She directly slapped away his right hand and stood up with difficulty.
Her beautiful eyes carried a touch of solemnity as she said, “I have to admit, you are indeed the most talented powerhouse I have ever seen.
If what you say is not false, your talent is enough to be written into history books across the entire Dou Qi Continent.”
“To be so praised by the Dou Huang of the Snake-People, I am extremely honored.”
“Now, can we discuss the Green Lotus Core Flame?”
Hearing this, Queen Medusa’s eyebrows locked as she asked, “How do you know that what I obtained is the Green Lotus Core Flame?”
“The fire is bluish, shaped like a lotus, found near volcanoes.
If I am not mistaken, I know the Heavenly Flame in your hand is the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.”
Queen Medusa’s pupils shrank as she bit her lower lip, appearing exceptionally charming.
Since the other party had already spoken, she also openly admitted it, “That’s right, it is indeed the Green Lotus Core Flame.”
“However, this King went through untold hardships to obtain this Heavenly Flame.
Naturally, I cannot let you take it easily.”
“Naturally.
Tell me your conditions.”
Seeing him so straightforward, Queen Medusa also stated her conditions, “I need three Tier 7 Transformation Pills, two Dou Zong Pills, and a natural treasure that can allow me to break through to the Dou Zong realm.
Otherwise, even if I die, this King will not hand over the Green Lotus Core Flame!”
This was Queen Medusa’s final stubbornness.
With her temper, she naturally could not just give up the Green Lotus Core Flame.
A Tier 7 Transformation Pill was already a natural treasure, and the medicinal materials required were extremely precious.
Even the Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire did not have the ability to successfully refine one.
From this, one could see the preciousness of a Tier 7 Transformation Pill.
Yet Queen Medusa not only asked for three Tier 7 Transformation Pills but also two Dou Zong Pills and a natural treasure to help her break through to Dou Zong.
Each item was something an ordinary person could not imagine.
Hai Bodong hurriedly ran over, “Little fellow, you can’t agree!
This woman is clearly committing extortion.
Three Tier 7 Transformation Pills are surely meant to make you back off!”
Medusa’s eyebrows furrowed, “Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, have you forgotten the matter from twenty years ago?
If not for her, you would already be a corpse!”
Hai Bodong said with an extraordinary air, “That was also because this old man’s life was not meant to end.
look at the result.
It’s been twenty years, and you are still in the same place.”
“You!”
Queen Medusa was about to act, but she stopped when she heard Jiang Cheng speak.
“No problem, I agree.”
This sentence not only stunned Hai Bodong, but even Queen Medusa, a peak Dou Huang, cast a shocked look.
Such precious things—there were very few people in the entire Northwest Continent who could take them out.
He actually agreed so decisively.
Unbelievable!
“I accidentally saw news regarding the Queen of the Snake-People in ancient books.
When the Queen’s strength reaches the peak of the Dou Huang level and there is sufficient opportunity, there can be a strange chance.
This chance can not only allow the Queen to freely transform into human form but also advance to the Dou Zong realm.”
“And the thing required for evolution is a Heavenly Flame.”
Queen Medusa opened her cherry lips slightly and smiled as she said, “I didn’t expect a pervert like you to know these things.
It truly makes this King see you in a new light.”
Her composed manner showed no trace of Queen Medusa’s previous fear.
Her narrow eyes squinted slightly as she said, “Even if you know, you must still provide the conditions I stated.
Otherwise, this King will not let you obtain the Heavenly Flame.”
Hai Bodong wanted to kill this woman, but he was stopped by Jiang Cheng.
Completing the system task was the most important thing.
Although Jiang Cheng was not particularly interested in the Flame Mantra, obtaining it would allow him to stabilize more Heavenly Flames, thereby strengthening his own alchemist level.
It could be considered as not coming for nothing.
“I can give you the first few items, but the medicinal materials to help you break through to Dou Zong will still take some time.
I wonder if the Queen is interested in leaving the depths of the Tager Desert?”
“Hehe.” Medusa chuckled, as beautiful as flowers in full bloom, “This King even dares to endure the pain of being burned by a Heavenly Flame.
Why would I not dare to leave this place with you?”
“Good.
Take me to get the Heavenly Flame then.”
However, Queen Medusa stayed in place without moving, which made Jiang Cheng frown.
This woman couldn’t have changed her mind again, could she?
