Chapter 33: Facing Queen Medusa and Negotiating The island is not large, and is covered with lush bamboo forests and air is filled with a faint fragrance, giving people a vibrant feeling. Nie Yuan walked along the path and headed into the island openly. If Medusa didn't notice the commotion outside, then her title as the queen that made the powerful men of the empire tremble in fear would be in name only. The path in the bamboo forest is narrow and winding at first. After several twists and turns, the view suddenly became clear. A circular open area appeared in front of us. The vegetation on the ground was cleared and covered with small stones, with some depression in the middle to make a small reservoir. The pool water is crystal clear with white mist floating on the surface. Nie Yuan was standing far away, and could feel a hint of coolness passing through his black robe. He murmured, "Ice Spirit Cold Spring..." "Good taste."
A cold voice sounded beside her. Medusa was wearing an expensive purple brocade robe, and her beautiful face without any flaws was filled with a hint of coldness. The pair of narrow lavender eyes were staring at him intently. [Ding! Medusa has murderous emotions, emotion value +10] "Queen Medusa, it's not easy to see you." Ignoring the flashing prompt, Nie Yuan took the initiative to lift up his black hood, revealing his equally handsome face, with a faint smile on his lips. "You are lucky. You can break the snake seal spell of my king." Medusa did not show any surprise. The first time Nie Yuan appeared outside the city, she just felt familiar. This time when Nie Yuan appeared again, he was quickly recognized. There was a hint of curiosity in her lavender eyes as she looked him up and down. "How does it feel to be beaten by Yun Yun? You humans always like to describe women as vicious and cruel, but after thinking about it, I can't seem to be as cruel as Yun Yun to a lifesaver." He became famous at a young age and was born in Yunlan, so he has a bright future. Even if Medusa didn't deliberately ask about Nie Yuan's deeds, she would often hear about it. Her impression of this man was not his talent or his achievements. The most profound thing is that when Nie Yuan faced his own snake sealing curse, he stood in front of another person without hesitation. But now it seems that Nie Yuan's scene was so touching and yet so ironic now. The woman he once risked his life to protect, for another man, did not hesitate to use a killing move on Nie Yuan. [Ding! Medusa feels curious and regretful, emotion value +20] "You have shattered the image of Queen Medusa in my mind." Nie Yuan shook his head slightly. Medusa was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Does this king still have a good image in your mind?"
[Ding! Medusa is feeling anticipation, emotion value +5] His strength was sealed by himself, and he fell from a young Dou Huang who was admired by everyone to an ordinary Dou Shi. Three years were wasted. She didn't think Nie Yuan would have any good opinion of her. If something like this happened to me, I would definitely want to grind the other person to ashes! Nie Yuan said calmly: "I just didn't expect the queen to be interested in other people's love affairs, especially at this time." [Ding! Medusa is in a state of doubt and suspicion, emotion value +20] Medusa was puzzled and asked, "At this time? What do you mean?" Nie Yuan looked towards the center of the pool and raised his eyes, where a cluster of green flames was floating. "Using strange fire to achieve evolution is definitely a life-or-death struggle for the Queen. You don't have much confidence, right?" Turning to look at Medusa, Nie Yuan smiled faintly. [Ding! Medusa panics, emotion value +30] Medusa's face is tense, and she says coldly: "Whether it succeeds or not is my business, and has nothing to do with you. Before we start, to ensure absolute safety, I will kill you first." "You can kill me, but at most I will wait for you on the road to the underworld." Nie Yuan shrugged, "Isn't the Queen interested in love? I can teach you then." Dare you curse me to death? Swish! Medusa suddenly appeared in front of Nie Yuan, and her white palm fell on Nie Yuan's neck. Nie Yuan's expression did not change at all. With his current strength, he would be dead if he faced Medusa, so there was no point in resisting. "Aren't you afraid of me?" Medusa examined every detail on Nie Yuan's face with her lavender eyes, and was a little surprised after coming to the conclusion. [Ding! Medusa is confused, emotion value +20] "Others came here to snatch the strange fire, but I... sincerely want to help the queen complete her evolution smoothly. I have a clear conscience, so why should I be afraid?" Nie Yuan did not back down in the face of Medusa's gaze. "You want to help me? I once caused your strength to plummet. Would you be willing to help me? And don't think that I don't know how insidious and cunning you humans are." Medusa said coldly, and increased the strength on her fingers. [Ding! Medusa becomes alert, emotion value +30] The blood flow to Nie Yuan's neck was blocked, and veins popped out from under his skin. His face flushed, but he still had a smile on his lips. "Of course I have a purpose as well." The king knows it! Medusa's beautiful eyes flashed with intelligence, and she retracted some of the strength on her fingers. "Tell me! What is your real purpose?" "If the queen evolves successfully, can she be promoted to Dou Zong and transform into a human form?"
Nie Yuan did not answer but asked instead. Medusa frowned slightly, but still wanted to know Nie Yuan's real purpose, so she nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Nie Yuan's eyes curved slightly as he spoke each word with emphasis, "I hope that after the Queen succeeds, she will become my woman!" "You are dreaming!" Medusa was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, the blood veins on the back of her white hands bulged, and she wanted to kill Nie Yuan immediately. This person is so bold! How dare he think of her! [Ding! Medusa is shocked, frightened, and furious, emotional value +100] As early as when Medusa was stunned, Nie Yuan mobilized his fighting spirit. When she got angry, he would immediately dodge away. "Wait a minute, listen to me first!" Nie Yuan secretly felt lucky that he understood Medusa's cold-blooded murderous character. At the same time, he also knew Medusa's suspicious nature. If he hadn't said that, Medusa might not have believed his excuse. If you take out the purple pot directly, you can indeed put the strange fire into it. But under Medusa's nose. There is a ban on flying outside, and the road ahead is still a dead end! After all, Medusa has been promoted to the peak of Douhuang for many years. "If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I will make you feel like a thousand snakes are biting you!" Medusa's chest heaved, her face was cold, and there was murderous intent in her eyes as she looked at Nie Yuan. "There aren't many Dou Huangs in the Jia Ma Empire, and apart from Yun Yun, you are the only female Dou Huang left..." Nie Yuan pointed at Medusa. The latter frowned, a hint of doubt flashed across her face, and he continued, "Yun Yun made me lose face in the empire. I hope the queen can pretend to pursue me and help me regain some face. As a condition of the transaction, I will help you complete the evolution safely." Hearing this, Medusa opened her red lips slightly and questioned, "Can you do it?" [Ding! Medusa is surprised and secretly happy, emotion value +50] (End of this chapter)
