86: Chapter 86 Taking Medusa Away

It was difficult to accept that despite risking death and successfully reaching the Dou Zong Realm, and even Awakening the ancient Bloodline Demonic Beast, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python—which was clearly an excellent thing—

when the Snake-people Tribe was pursuing intruders last time, she unexpectedly suffered an attack from Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master Yun Yun and nearly died. Fortunately, the little snake yielded control of the body in time, allowing her to repel Yun Yun.

She had intended to start a war against the Jia Ma Empire once she fully controlled her body, but then bad news arrived: the former Sect Master of the Jia Ma Empire's Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Shan, had achieved a Breakthrough to the Dou Zong Realm...

The strength of the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-people Tribe returned to a balance once again.

The flames ignited by the Snake-people Tribe instantly withered. She had thought she would have to wait many more years, yet unexpectedly, the young man who had taken the Green Lotus Core Flame returned today, promising to find a suitable habitat for the Snake-people Tribe.

This pleasant surprise impacted Medusa, even making her feel a trace of excitement and relief...

Seeing the corners of Medusa's mouth lift slightly, Xiao Yan spoke: "Medusa, before we leave, I have one simple request that I need you to fulfill."

Hearing this, the excitement in Medusa's eyes slowly faded. Her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke politely: "Your Excellency Half-Saint, what matter do you need me to attend to?"

"Before coming here, I saw a fairly large-scale conflict between the Snake-people and humans at the edge of the desert. Is this kind of thing common here?" Xiao Yan asked expressionlessly, his tone revealing a trace of questioning.

"I assume you are aware that the Snake-people Tribe fought a war with the Jia Ma Empire many years ago. After that battle, my Snake-people Tribe came to live in this scorching great desert... The Snake-people Tribe has no affection for the people of the Jia Ma Empire, and conversely, the people of the Jia Ma Empire have no affection for my Snake-people Tribe, often even attacking my Snake-people Tribes..." Medusa said slowly, her expression unchanged.

"I have heard that the Snake-people Tribe is very brutal; is this true? Before coming here, I heard that encountering Snake-people in the desert almost always leads to being attacked by them. I imagine many innocent people have died at the hands of your Snake-people Tribe, right?" Xiao Yan's tone gradually became unfriendly, as if he were reproaching Queen Medusa.

To subdue the Snake-people Tribe, relying solely on tenderness is not enough; one must appropriately demonstrate strength. At this moment, it depended on how much Medusa could endure.

Mo Ba Si, standing on the city wall, heard these words and wore an unhappy expression on his face. He said to Xiao Yan: "Lord Half-Saint, these were all those Jia Ma..."

"Shut up!"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and a powerful Soul pressure instantly pressed down on Mo Ba Si. As a Dou Wang, Mo Ba Si was actually forced to the ground by these words, spitting out a mouthful of blood and unable to get up or move.

The surrounding Snake-people were shocked, but seeing Mo Ba Si in this state, they all lowered their heads and fell silent. This pressure from the Soul faintly shrouded everyone's hearts, making them feel as if, should they raise their heads, their fate would be the same as Mo Ba Si's...

"Queen Medusa, what is your opinion on this?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's increasingly cold voice, Medusa revealed a somewhat helpless expression.

With her intelligence, she naturally understood that this was a test and a show of power from Xiao Yan, but as the Snake-people Queen, facing Xiao Yan's dominance, she was helpless.

She only explained: "I hope Your Excellency Half-Saint will forgive me. The Snake-people Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire have had a long-standing grudge. Many Snake-people's wives and daughters have been captured and toyed with as slaves. If these Snake-people encounter humans who enter deep into the desert... and some conflict occurs, it is very difficult for me to control."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression softened slightly as he nodded. It was not appropriate to continue blaming her; continuing to dwell on this would make him appear too petty.

"Queen Medusa, I have also heard of your prestige. On the continent, it has always been rumored that Queen Medusa is beautiful yet brutal and not easy to get along with. Seeing you today, it seems the rumors were somewhat unfair." Xiao Yan smiled and continued: "Although what you say has some logic, the Snake-people Tribe will soon be evacuating the Tagor Desert. I do not want to see any more conflicts between the Snake-people Tribe and humans. After today, restrict the patrol range of the Snake-people Tribe and stay well within the tribe, waiting for the relocation."

"Your Excellency Half-Saint is indeed as wise as rumored. My Snake-people Tribe is not an unreasonable race. Your request is indeed very simple, and we can do it."

After Queen Medusa finished speaking, she heaved a slight sigh of relief. Then, as if thinking of something, she revealed a trace of a bitter smile. This was the first time she had been so respectful to a human...

However, after hearing what Xiao Yan said, a weight was lifted from her heart. She spoke to an old woman beside her: "Grand Elder, I will leave this matter to you to arrange."

"Queen Medusa, go with peace of mind. We will wait here for the good news," that old woman said with a hoarse voice.

Medusa nodded and said to Xiao Yan: "Your Excellency Half-Saint, when shall we depart?"

Under Xiao Yan's signal, the Purple-Winged Giant Owl slowly descended to the same height as Medusa. Xiao Yan took a few steps back and said to Medusa: "Let's go now. I happen to have some things to tell you on the way."

Medusa lightly nodded her chin, which was like white porcelain, then lifted her sexy long legs and walked toward the high platform.

Yue Mei and the others watched as Queen Medusa entered the platform and honestly helped up the limp Mo Ba Si. Yue Mei then said: "Respectfully send off Queen Medusa, respectfully send off Lord Half-Saint Shang Yan!"

"Respectfully send off Queen Medusa! Respectfully send off Lord Half-Saint Shang Yan!"

The Snake-people Tribe shouted in unison, respectfully sending off Xiao Yan and their Queen.

Xiao Yan looked at the Snake-people shouting in unison below and smiled. The excitement of these Snake-people was normal; their long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled. Regarding Xiao Yan, while they feared him, they were even more grateful.

The giant wings flapped, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the massive purple giant owl soared into the sky.

Many Snake-people below looked up, and they could vaguely see Medusa's beautiful face with a slight smile.

They rarely saw their Queen reveal such a smile, and many Snake-people felt complicated inside upon seeing this.

"Xiao Yan, is the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python you mentioned her? Besides being pretty, she doesn't seem to have anything special." On the back of the rapidly flying Purple-Winged Giant Owl, Zi Yan circled the curvaceous Queen Medusa and said to Xiao Yan.

Medusa's tall figure stood in the center of the platform, one hand supporting the waist that made countless people infatuated. She looked at Zi Yan with a faint smile; she was in a very good mood right now.

She did not pay attention to Zi Yan's rudeness. In her eyes, Zi Yan was just a child, and she could also feel a familiar aura from Zi Yan...

"Haha, Medusa, this is Zi Yan. Like you, she also possesses an ancient Demonic Beast Bloodline. Unfortunately, due to taking the Transformation Grass, she has always maintained the appearance of a child, and even her Heart-Nature has remained in this state..." Xiao Yan explained to Medusa.

Hearing this, Medusa's gaze toward Zi Yan carried curiosity. No wonder she could feel a trace of a similar aura from this purple-haired girl.

Not only that, when Medusa's gaze swept over Qing Lin, she had the same feeling, and this feeling was even more intense than with Zi Yan.

"She is called Qing Lin, and the blood of your Snake-people flows within her body. Qing Lin has an extraordinary Physique, and her talent is not a bit weaker than yours." Xiao Yan smiled and pulled Qing Lin over, explaining.

Qing Lin was a bit timid. The aura of the person in front of her was the exact same aura she had felt before in Stone Desert City, only compared to before, her aura was now even more powerful.

Medusa smiled slightly and reached out her beautiful fingers to stroke Qing Lin's hair, saying: "Does the blood of the Snake-people also flow in your body? That is truly not easy..."

Medusa understood that for a Snake-people half-breed to grow to this age was very difficult. Usually, Snake-people half-breeds died early due to the conflict of Bloodlines within their bodies. Those who could live to this age were very few and far between.

Medusa felt some emotion in her heart. By the side of this Half-Saint Shang Yan, there were no mediocre people: an ancient Bloodline Demonic Beast, and a Snake-people half-breed with a special Physique Genius.

However, when her gaze looked toward the last beautiful figure on the platform, Queen Medusa's face revealed a trace of surprise.
