Transaction, Fusion Elixir

"I don't have anything you want..."

When Shen Wen saw the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python approaching him, he roughly knew that it was the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python that was in control.

Given Medusa's nature, even if she submitted to him, she wouldn't act so intimately.

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python didn't say anything, but coiled its body around Shen Wen's wrist, seemingly intending to stick with him.

Meanwhile, the Four Great Elders, who were standing by, cautiously looked at Shen Wen, no longer displaying their previous ferocity.

The First Elder swallowed and said, "Your Excellency, this... is our clan's Queen. By all accounts, she should remain with our clan."

The Snake-People Clan cannot lose Medusa.

"I didn't initiate this. Call your Queen and see if she responds to you."

Shen Wen found it interesting. Actually, this situation was quite easy to solve; one soul fusion pill would do it.

But he didn't have any on hand right now.

That didn't mean he couldn't refine one.

Shen Wen looked at the small seven-colored snake coiled around his wrist.

He calmly said to the anxious Four Great Elders, "As you can see, I am not forcing it to stay; it is unwilling to leave on its own."

The First Elder was burning with anxiety and tried to call out, "Your Majesty the Queen?"

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python merely cast a lazy glance at her.

Instead, it rubbed its small head against the inside of Shen Wen's wrist, where there was an aura that made it feel incredibly secure.

The First Elder's heart trembled violently, and a terrifying thought emerged: Could it be... that something went wrong during the purification process?

Is the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake, originally intended as a fusion material, now dominating this body?

And has the Queen's soul fallen into slumber amidst the Impact?

She was about to ask.

But Shen Wen spoke first, calmly saying, "No need to guess. Your Queen, Medusa, has long since formed a soul contract with me.

The contract states that if she successfully purifies her bloodline, the entire Snake-People Clan will submit to me.

Now that she has succeeded, both she and your Snake-People Clan belong to me from this moment forward. What's wrong with her following me?"

"A soul contract? Submission? This is impossible!"

Upon hearing this, the Four Great Elders were all furious, and their surrounding Dou Qi subtly fluctuated again.

Making the Snake-People Clan submit to a human was something they could never accept.

"Impossible?" Shen Wen sneered, "You can try.

If the contract is violated, I don't know whether Medusa's soul will be severely wounded or annihilated by the soul backlash.

It would just make it easier for the Purple Nether Flame Snake's soul to completely occupy this Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's body."

At these words, the Four Great Elders were caught between a rock and a hard place, frozen in place, their expressions constantly shifting.

Just then, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python coiled around Shen Wen's wrist stiffened slightly, and a distinct sense of majesty and complexity flashed in its pale purple snake eyes.

Amidst shimmering light, the small snake's form rapidly stretched and transformed. In an instant,

a graceful, captivating, and alluring jade body appeared before everyone, none other than Queen Medusa!

Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, her face showing undisguised fatigue, and her voice was urgent: "First Elder, stop! What Shen Wen said... is true. The soul contract... was personally established by me."

"Queen!" The Four Great Elders exclaimed in shock, unable to believe their ears.

Medusa ignored their astonishment and quickly explained, "I used the power of the Heavenly Flame to purify my bloodline.

Although I fortunately succeeded in transforming into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake, which was originally the foundation, was activated as a result.

It is fiercely conflicting with my soul within this newborn body.

Most of my mental energy is currently needed to resist its instinctive erosion, making it difficult to maintain control for long... this brief awakening is already quite difficult."

Her gaze turned to Shen Wen, and she said helplessly, "The commotion from my successful evolution was too great; it has probably already attracted the covetous eyes of surrounding forces.

The Snake-People Clan needs the protection of a powerful expert at this moment.

Until I completely resolve my soul issue, staying by his side is the safest option right now."

Her words plunged the Four Great Elders into silence.

Although they felt humiliated, they had to admit that this was a cruel reality.

Just then.

Cao Ying, who had been observing, suddenly spoke, "So that's how it is. Actually, solving this problem is quite simple."

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on her.

Cao Ying looked at Shen Wen, her eyes asking for permission. Seeing Shen Wen nod slightly, she continued, "There is a Sixth-Rank Alchemist pill called the 'soul fusion pill'.

This pill has a special effect; it can help the soul and body perfectly fuse, not only rapidly restoring soul power but also repairing past soul injuries."

"A soul fusion pill?" Medusa's dim eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this.

She had been so anxious that she had forgotten there was a Seventh-Rank Grand Alchemist and two talented Sixth-Rank Alchemists standing right in front of her!

Solving this problem that plagued her might be extremely difficult for others, but for Shen Wen, it might just be a matter of one furnace of pills.

She suddenly looked at Shen Wen, and in her purple eyes, capable of charming all beings,

for the first time, a clear look of pleading emerged, and her tone unconsciously carried a hint of humility: "Shen Wen... I beg you, please refine a soul fusion pill for me.

As long as you can help me completely control this body, I... Medusa, and the entire Snake-People Clan, will pledge our lives to you, without any second thoughts!"

She paused, her voice even lower, but with a practical consideration, "Moreover, if the soul of that Purple Nether Flame Snake is allowed to dominate,

the potential of this Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python might not even be unleashed by one or two tenths.

I think I should be more useful to you than it is."

Hearing their Queen, whom they had personally nurtured and deeply revered, begging so humbly before a human man,

the Four Great Elders felt their hearts twist in agony.

It was as if some deeply held belief in their hearts was collapsing, and their faces turned ashen, as if they had aged ten years in an instant.

Shen Wen listened quietly, his gaze calmly sweeping over Medusa's pleading, beautiful face, then glancing at the Snake-People Elders who looked as if the sky had fallen.

After a moment, he spoke indifferently:

"I can refine the soul fusion pill."

He paused slightly, looking at the sudden hope ignited in Medusa's eyes, his tone still calm and unwavering.

"But why should I refine it for you?"

Shen Wen's words were like a basin of cold water, dousing the hope that had just ignited in Medusa's heart.

She stood frozen, surprise flashing in her captivating purple eyes.

Shen Wen's tone was calm, "You and I already have a soul contract.

You, and the Snake-People Clan, are now all my possessions. I granted you new life, which is already a great favor.

Whether I refine the soul fusion pill for you, and when I refine it, is entirely up to me.

Even if I don't refine it, what loss is it to me?

You still have to serve me as your master, and the Snake-People Clan still has to obey my commands.

Is there a big difference to me between a Dou Zong whose soul is temporarily unstable and a Dou Zong who perfectly controls their power?"
