Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 84 Call Me Your Majesty (Bonus Chapter for 'Renji's' 10,000 Yuan Reward)
The Tagor Desert,

Thousands of meters underground,
A seemingly endless underground world of magma, where fiery red, scalding magma flows slowly. Occasionally, huge bubbles rise from the magma, and with a soft sound, they burst open with a bang, shooting out scorching magma like a brilliant red firework.

"What a magnificent underground magma world! I never imagined that such a terrifying place would be hidden beneath the desert..." Xiao Yue stood at the edge of a crack in the ground, watching the churning magma below with great interest.

The surrounding flowing lava has almost formed a huge lava lake here, occasionally surging in with a scorching wave of air.

Besides Xiao Yue and Medusa, who else was present?

The rest of the Queen's Serpent Guards felt uncomfortable upon arriving here. After all, the environment here was even harsher than the desert, and it was as incompatible as water and fire for their cold bloodline.

Over time,
The temperature around the underground magma world is rising, and the Queen Serpent Guards are beginning to feel physical discomfort; their serpent scales are starting to react with extreme disgust.

however,
They dared not utter a single complaint, for they knew that if they angered Queen Medusa before them, the consequences would be far more dire.

As you approach the magma world, the intense heat almost instantly evaporates the air into a white mist, blurring even your vision.

"With the cold and sinister bloodline of your snake-people race, what use is that strange fire underground?" Xiao Yue asked, stroking her chin, seemingly curious.

According to common sense,
The strange fire didn't seem to hold much allure for the snake-people, since it was an extremely violent and destructive disaster for them, whose bloodline was inherently cold and yin.

"How dare you be disrespectful to the Queen!"

The aloof snake guard captain behind him suddenly gave a soft shout.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue glanced at the other person, not understanding how her words had been disrespectful.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just take care of your own business..." Queen Medusa gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead with her slender fingers, her purple eyes flashing with a hint of coldness as she glanced at Xiao Yue.

"Are you so sure there's a strange fire down there?"

Xiao Yue asked again, with great interest.
Queen Medusa was growing increasingly impatient upon hearing this, and the cold purple light in her eyes seemed to sharpen even further.

She wasn't used to explaining her plans or motives to anyone, especially to a human woman like Xiao Yue, who was only of some use value to her and whom she couldn't trust at all!
"Human...you have too many problems. Also, you should call me Her Majesty the Queen."

Queen Medusa said coldly,

No human has dared to act so arrogantly in front of her in recent years. The other party seems to be unafraid of her at all, treating her as an ordinary person rather than a top-level being.

and,

The silver-haired woman's words, which had no boundaries from beginning to end, made the queen feel quite uncomfortable. She couldn't quite put her finger on this subtle feeling, but she subconsciously felt a bit annoyed.

Hearing the other party's cold words, Xiao Yue smiled slightly, showing no anger whatsoever. A playful smile flashed in her eyes as she said:

"Okay, I won't ask anymore."

Queen Medusa was somewhat satisfied when she saw that Xiao Yue was no longer talking, and said calmly, "Since that's the case, let's begin. Go and bring out the strange fire for me."

Xiao Yue nodded, then turned her gaze to the churning lava below and asked again:

"Is there really a strange fire down there?"

Medusa: “…”

Her Majesty took a deep breath upon hearing this. This question had been asked many times before, and hearing the curious inquiry again made the veins on her forehead throb slightly. The anger in her heart was about to reach the limit of her patience.

Seeing her like this, Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

The angrier the other person got, the happier she felt.

Despite the danger posed by Her Majesty the Queen, Xiao Yue thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of dancing on the edge of a knife, a small act of revenge for the other party's flirtatious behavior earlier.

Queen Medusa took a deep breath, trying to calm her burning anger. She knew that this pointless argument with Xiao Yue would only waste time, and that she did indeed need this human's power to complete her plan.

"What I need is your action, not these meaningless questions. If you want to continue living, you'd better go and retrieve the strange fire!" Queen Medusa said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue stopped provoking her, chuckled, and said, "As you wish, Your Majesty."

finished,

With a swift movement, she leaped directly into the churning lava world below.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Serpent Guards around them all frowned slightly, knowing full well how high the temperature of the magma was, enough to melt even steel.

Queen Medusa watched Xiao Yue's figure disappear into the lava, her brows furrowed.

Snake Guard Captain Hua She'er stepped forward and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you really believe that woman can succeed? The power of that strange fire is something even a Dou Zong expert fears..."

A sharp glint flashed in Queen Medusa's purple eyes: "Whether she has the ability or not will soon be revealed. Now is not the time to doubt, but to prepare for the coming changes."

Upon hearing this, all the snake guards bowed their heads in obedience.

They knew that their queen's decisions often came at a great cost, but for the future of the snake people, they had to support her unconditionally.

As time passed, there was still no movement in the lava world. Queen Medusa's expression grew increasingly grim, but she remained calm, as if everything was under control.

If Xiao Yue fails to obtain the strange fire by then...
So she had no choice but to go down and bring out the strange fire herself, but that would be too troublesome. Just as Xiao Yue said, the blood of their snake-people was cold and sinister, and what they feared most were those extremely violent and destructive strange fires.

If she were to rashly attempt to obtain the strange fire at the peak of her Douhuang cultivation level, the least likely consequence would be that she would need at least six months of recuperation to fully recover! That thing was far too effective against the snake-people race, and moreover, being in magma would also affect her strength.

The silver-haired woman was different. If she was a high-level alchemist, then her cultivation technique should be fire-attribute.

Moreover, based on the previous performance, the other party has obviously mastered a strange fire seed called 'Gengjin Flame', which clearly has a certain resistance to flames and magma, and its strength is also decent. It would be most suitable to let the other party retrieve that dangerous strange fire for me.
