"You brat, you're not thinking of some shady idea again, are you?"
Lu Man rolled his eyes at Lin Feng, speaking in a displeased tone.
Hearing this, Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly before he said, "If my plan succeeds, then there won't be any need for a fight. It'll just take a bit more time."
Bai Ya nodded slightly and said, "Then we'll do as you say. But be quick. Otherwise, once the leaders of the eight major tribes arrive, the Heavenly Flame will likely be impossible to keep."
It couldn't be bothered to argue too much. Avoiding a fight was the best outcome.
Right now, all it wanted was a safe place to recover from its injuries.
Seeing this, Lu Man also nodded in agreement.
"Alright, since that's the case, when the time comes, you two must act like you're supporting me no matter what I say."
"Got it." x2
"Heh, if you all had stayed together, I really wouldn't have had a way to deal with you. But now, it's better if you just hand over the Heavenly Flame obediently."
Queen Medusa flicked her snake tail gently, speaking with an air of absolute confidence.
As she spoke, a hint of luck flashed through her eyes.
If it weren't for that snake being greedy for her beauty and letting his guard down when she approached, she wouldn't have been able to launch a successful sneak attack.
By paying only a minor price, she had managed to severely injure him.
Otherwise, if Bai Ya were at full strength, plus that six-star Dou Huang woman, facing both of them alone wouldn't necessarily give her the upper hand.
"Heh, your Snake-People Clan possesses an icy and cold attribute. You wouldn't be able to absorb the Heavenly Flame anyway, right?"
Lin Feng poked his head out from behind Bai Ya and smiled.
"This has nothing to do with you. You just need to hand over the Heavenly Flame to me right now!"
Glancing at Lin Feng, Queen Medusa lazily waved her hand.
"I once read a record in an ancient book mentioning something about the Snake-People Clan's Queen. It said that when Queen Medusa reaches the peak of Dou Huang, if she has enough fortune, she may undergo a unique evolution.
"After evolving, Queen Medusa would not only be able to freely transform into human form, but her strength would also naturally break through to the Dou Zong level. However, the success rate of this evolution seems quite low.
"And most importantly... the key element required for this evolution is none other than the Heavenly Flame."
At this point, Lin Feng paused, grinned, and said, "I suppose that's why Her Majesty, after encountering a Dou Huang expert, still refuses to back down? You must be planning to use the Heavenly Flame to evolve, right?"
"What? She actually wants to use the Heavenly Flame for evolution? She's crazy!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Bai Ya was instantly stunned and horrified.
Although it knew about the concept of evolution, the success rate was terrifyingly low.
If something went wrong, the only outcome would be being completely incinerated by the Heavenly Flame, reduced to nothingness.
Moreover, once the evolution began, there was no turning back—either it succeeded, or she perished.
Because of this, Bai Ya had never considered this possibility before.
Now, upon hearing the mention of evolution, Bai Ya immediately understood why Queen Medusa was so obsessed with the Heavenly Flame.
"Heh."
Queen Medusa let out a cold chuckle, her expression subtly shifting.
Her enchanting pupils locked onto Lin Feng, filled with a chilling aura, as she spoke softly, "I didn't expect you to know such things. Truly unexpected."
"Just lucky. I happened to come across it while reading."
Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he continued, "Your Majesty only wants to use the Heavenly Flame for evolution, not to absorb it. There's no need for a life-and-death struggle between us.
"How about this—I'll lend you the Heavenly Flame for your evolution. Once it's done, all I ask for in return is a Rank 6 Beast Flame, two fifth-tier medicinal formulas, and an item that can remove your seal. Consider it compensation for the Heavenly Flame's energy loss. How about that?"
Queen Medusa glanced at Lin Feng, who was perched on Bai Ya's back, and chuckled softly.
"Not a bad plan you've come up with... but wouldn't it be the same if I just snatched it from you right now?"
"If Your Majesty insists on this course of action, then we will not sit idly by. If we have to self-destruct, I believe we can still ensure that Your Majesty never leaves this place. After that, whether the Snake-People Clan gets completely wiped out by various forces… well, that remains to be seen."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Lu Man and Bai Ya both rolled their eyes at him.
At a time like this, he was still thinking about extorting the Snake-People Clan.
However, they cooperated fully, stepping forward as if they were truly following Lin Feng's command, ready to perish together with Medusa.
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing that Medusa might die, Hua She'er became anxious.
Although evolution also carried the risk of Medusa's death, it equally held the potential for her to break through to Dou Zong, bringing immense benefits to the Snake-People Clan.
But if Medusa chose to perish alongside these two Dou Huangs when there was still an alternative, it would be a pointless death—completely not worth it.
"Shut up!"
Seeing the situation unfold, Medusa grew frustrated.
Since she had no idea who Lin Feng truly was, she assumed he was a high-ranking member of the Sky Serpent Mansion, with Bai Ya and Lu Man as his attendants.
Now that Lin Feng was seemingly commanding the two to die with her, she became hesitant to act rashly.
After all, two six-star Dou Huangs self-destructing at the same time was no small matter.
Even in her peak condition, she wasn't confident she could withstand that.
Let alone now, when she was already injured.
Carefully considering Lin Feng's proposal, she also found it feasible.
Unless absolutely necessary, she had no desire to fight two Dou Huangs to the death.
However, Lin Feng's earlier excessive demands were unacceptable.
After a long pause, her red lips parted as she spoke, "I can agree to one Rank 5 Beast Flame and two fourth-tier medicinal formulas, but I cannot allow the seal to be lifted. After all, the ones I've sealed are powerful individuals. If I release them and they cause trouble for my Snake-People Clan again, then what?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty need not worry. I only want to lift the seal because of certain circumstances beyond my control. Nothing more. Your Majesty can leave behind some restrictive measures so that if this person dares to stir trouble again, you will still have the upper hand."
Medusa thought about it and found this reasonable.
If that person caused trouble again, she could take the opportunity to send him to the afterlife, eliminating the problem once and for all.
Thinking of this, she nodded in agreement, "Then we will proceed based on my conditions, with the addition of an energy seal that can be lifted."
Considering Lu Man and Bai Ya, Lin Feng didn't dare drag things out any longer. He nodded and said, "Alright, but I ask that Your Majesty allow me to choose the medicinal formulas myself."
"Fine."
Seeing Lin Feng agree, Medusa's furrowed brows eased, and she accepted his request.
Lu Man and Bai Ya also breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was finally settled.
Lin Feng, too, felt fortunate.
Had Medusa known about his true relationship with Lu Man and Bai Ya—or if she hadn't been injured in her fight with Bai Ya—things wouldn't have gone nearly this smoothly.
