Right after Xiao Yan left, Queen Medusa finally finished her ritual dance. The snake ancestor spirit slowly disappeared, leaving behind ripples of energy that seeped back into the pond.
Queen Medusa's red-glowing eyes immediately glanced in the direction of El's hiding.
At the same time, El's Rinnegan spun actively. A ripple pattern with six Tomoe rotated slowly in both eyeballs.
El turned around quietly, then whispered, "Shinra Tensei..."
Instantly, an invisible wave of repulsion swept through the surrounding area, creating a strong gust of wind that shook the branches of the trees and blew away the leaves.
El whistled softly, imitating the whistling of panicked birds scattering from the trees. The sound combined with the friction of the wind and branches, creating a natural illusion that masked his presence.
In this way, El managed to avoid the Red Flag and the possibility of being killed directly by Queen Medusa, while completing the Side Mission more easily.
Ding!

[+5000 Points]
El smiled slightly, closed the mission notification screen, then prepared for the final stage of his plan, which was to leave this place immediately.
On the other side, Queen Medusa turned around, stepping towards the edge of the pool with a sharp gaze. Her lips moved slightly, muttering coldly, "Bully."
As if understanding the unspoken order, five snake-woman generals immediately emerged from the shadows of the trees. Their tails swished gracefully as they approached the Queen.
Once in front of the Queen, the five generals bowed respectfully, their hands crossed in front of their chests.
"My Queen..." they said in unison in a respectful tone.
Queen Medusa looked intently at one of them, Yue Mei, one of her trusted generals.
Without saying much, Queen Medusa gave a short but firm order. "Yue Mei, take care of this."
Yue Mei was a woman of alluring beauty, her upper body resembling a human with seductive curves.
Her skin looked soft and pale like porcelain, contrasting with the long, snow-white hair that flowed down to her waist, a few strands falling gracefully over her shoulders.
However, Yue Mei's charm is not just in her looks, her lower body is a supple and soft snake tail, awaiting movement that contains natural grace.
It is hard to imagine how lethal the grip can be, when one touches the flexibility of her slender waist.
In addition, the long, slender arms with their fingers seemed delicate yet held hidden strength.
Every curve of Yue Mei's body from top to bottom was like a work of art, as if perfectly carved from white jade by the hands of heaven itself.
Under the dim moonlight, Yue Mei looked so dazzling.
With her pale skin glowed softly, while her beautiful diamond eyes emitted a seductive gleam, containing a faint trace of passion, as if enveloped in the dew of the night.
Yue Mei's attire, like most women of the Snake People race, was exotic and seductive in design, bringing out the alluring charm of their tribe.
Yue Mei wore a deep purple bustier decorated with gold patterns in the shape of snake scales, emphasizing her seductive curves. The top was cut open at the shoulders, revealing her smooth, exotic skin.
The lower half of her body was not covered by a regular skirt, but rather a thin, semi-transparent fabric that wrapped around her hips, adding a mysterious and sensual touch.
This fabric was adorned with golden trinkets that glittered under the light, elegantly following the movement of her tail.
Yue Mei's arms were adorned with snake-engraved gold bracelets, wrapped around her arms all the way to her wrists. Meanwhile, her slender neck was adorned with a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a snake's fang, adding to the wild and dangerous vibe.
Her entire look exuded a deadly appeal, like a snake ready to coil around its prey, both seductive and terrifying.
With a confident smile, Yue Mei bowed her head slightly and said, "Yes, my Queen."
As soon as the words were spoken, her figure disappeared in an instant, moving with incredible speed. The other four generals turned around silently, leaving the place with perfect discipline.
Meanwhile, Queen Medusa's body slowly vanished, turning into a trace of energy that merged with the night atmosphere, disappearing into the silent darkness.
***
At the outer edge of the Oasis, on the desolate sandy expanse of the Tager Desert under the moonlight, El stood still with a faint smile, his gaze directed towards the sky.
Rinnegan's eyeballs had returned to their original shape, displaying a brownish-black color, a sign that Rinnegan was in a deactivated state.
From a distance, El saw Yue Mei floating down on transparent purple Dou Qi wings, looking like an illusion that merged with the night.
Yue Mei's rhombus-shaped eyes traced the figure of the man before her, sensing something different about him.
Instead of attacking, Yue Mei paused for a moment, appraising El with interest. There was a mysterious charm about him, not only from his good looks, but also from the calmness he showed.
"Little brother, do you know that peeping at the Queen is a death sentence?" said Yue Mei in a teasing tone, a faint smile gracing her face.
However, instead of being frightened or panicked, El stood relaxed. Yue Mei raised an eyebrow, feeling even more intrigued.
"But..." Yue Mei leaned forward slightly, looking at El with an enigmatic gaze. "Why didn't you run?"
El stepped back a few steps, then bowed respectfully, clenching his hands in front of his chest.
"Ji apologizes for being rude. Can Dajie forgive him?" El's voice was calm, showing genuine respect.
The faint smile on Yue Mei's lips widened slightly, the look in her eyes increasingly filled with flashes of passion. Her gaze lingered on El, who was not only polite but also possessed an inexplicable charm.
From there, El suddenly smelled the scent of desire that was strongly emanating from this snake woman. 'She smells like a snake in heat.' El thought, while recalling the scent.
"Little brother..." Yue Mei whispered softly, her eyes slightly narrowed as if savoring this moment. "This big sister can only apologize, because punishment is still punishment."
El remained silent, his face calm without the slightest change in expression, as if unmoved by the situation around him.
Meanwhile, Yue Mei closed her eyes slowly, momentarily lost in thought. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with a seductive glint, exuding a charm that was hard to ignore.
The smile on Yue Mei's lips deepened, like a snake that had just found its prey, full of curiosity and hidden pleasure.
"But... if little brother is willing to follow big sister into the tribe to play," Yue Mei's voice dropped, teasing, "I guarantee you'll like it a lot... so much that you'll probably forget you're human."
As part of the Snake People race, Yue Mei's reaction is arguably quite natural for someone who catches her eye.
With her charming and playful nature, Yue Mei tends to tease those who are attractive or innocent with a sadistic touch.
However, if someone doesn't catch her eye, her demeanor can turn violent and merciless.
So, when before her stood a man as handsome as El, with a calm and polite demeanor, her baser instincts were ignited.
It was natural for a woman like Yue Mei to want to ruffle every inch of El's body on the bed like a predator finding its prey.
The scent of desire that Yue Mei exuded grew thicker, filling the air with an almost tangible impatience.
However, El just smiled kindly, unmoved by the temptation emanating from his interlocutor.
"Ji just wanted to apologize," El said in a gentle tone, "for having to turn down Dajie's invitation."
"Fufu," Yue Mei laughed softly in a teasing tone. "Don't say that, this big sister could get hurt..."
In the next second, Yue Mei's eyes glowed purplish, using the Snake People race's signature magic, a hypnotic technique capable of making a target fall into her grasp.
As soon as the light flashed, El's eyes also emitted the same purplish glow, as if to show that he had fallen under Yue Mei's hypnotic influence.
