Douluo: This soul master has a little bit of luck

Chapter 288 A Woman's Competitive Spirit, Gu He's Disappointment
"This...how is this possible!"

"Queen Medusa has actually broken through to the Dou Zong level. Could it be that she not only devoured the strange fire in such a short time, but also survived?"

Guhe muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

When Feng Li and Yan Shi saw Queen Medusa walking on air, their faces turned ashen.

Although the two accepted Gu He's invitation to come with him to the Snake-People's Holy City to find Queen Medusa and trade for the Strange Fire.

But if they had known that Queen Medusa had already broken through to the Dou Zong level, they wouldn't have dared to make this trip even if they had ten lives!

Yun Yun, dressed in white, focused her gaze on the young man standing beside Queen Medusa in the sky.

Your Excellency Qi Lin!

How did he end up in the Holy City of the Serpent People?
Could it be that Queen Medusa's breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm was actually orchestrated by Lord Qi Lin?
The moment Yun Yun saw Qi Lin, a guess arose in her mind.

After all, Queen Medusa had been stuck at the peak of Douhuang for twenty or thirty years without breaking through. Why did she choose to break through now, instead of earlier or later?

But with Qi Lin's help, everything makes sense.

She believed Qi Lin had the means!

In addition, Qi Lin also had this motive!
After all, back when Qi Lin was still in the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun had already made some judgments about Qi Lin's character.

He is definitely a womanizer, even though he treats every woman he loves very well.

Queen Medusa was renowned for her beauty and charm in several countries surrounding the Tagor Desert, and her temperament and appearance were said to be unparalleled in the world.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Qi Lin was able to be attracted here!

However, after guessing the reason, Yunyun felt inexplicably depressed.

Although Queen Medusa is renowned for her beauty, it seems that I, as the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, am not too bad either.

But clearly, he had not won Qi Lin's favor, otherwise...

Of course, Yun Yun wouldn't fawn over Qi Lin just because he had the ability to help her improve her strength.

But if Qi Lin doesn't take a liking to her, doesn't that mean she's not charming enough?
As we all know, women value their own charm very much and have a certain competitive spirit, and Yunyun is no exception.

But when she thought of Queen Medusa's unparalleled beauty, even Yun Yun had to admit that she was inferior to Queen Medusa.

Besides Yun Yun, Gu He, Feng Li, and Yan Shi also noticed Qi Lin.

Seeing him standing in mid-air, the expression on his face was equally shocked.

The Snake-People clan actually has a Dou Zong powerhouse!
No, that's not right. He might not necessarily be a Dou Zong of the Snake-Man Clan, but judging from his appearance, even if he isn't, he definitely has a close relationship with the Snake-Man Clan.

In addition, Furukawa's heart stirred.

He never believed that Queen Medusa could break through to the Dou Zong realm using a different kind of fire.

Qi Lin's appearance now undoubtedly makes him guess that Queen Medusa's breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm is inseparable from this young man in front of him.

However, how could Queen Medusa possibly allow the person before her to help him break through to the Dou Zong realm?
Aside from the strange fire, Guhe couldn't think of any other bargaining chips the snake-people had.

Above the holy city of the Serpent People, Queen Medusa coldly looked at Gu He and his companions with her slightly narrow eyes and said indifferently, "Gentlemen, you have quite the audacity. Don't you know that this is the holy city of my Serpent People?"

"Or are you saying you want to die!"

Upon hearing this, Gu He, Feng Li, and Yan Shi's expressions changed drastically.

The latter two almost turned and ran, but fortunately, reason prevailed over fear. Turning to run now would only make them appear guilty, and their chances of survival would be even slimmer.

Guhe took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to Queen Medusa, and spoke with a hint of deference.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Gu He pointed to the three people beside him and said, "The reason why the four of us have traveled thousands of miles to the Holy City of the Snake People is that we heard that Her Majesty the Queen obtained a strange fire near Stone Desert City, so we wanted to make a deal with Her Majesty the Queen."

The three people beside me are those who came with me at my invitation.

After hearing Gu He's words, Feng Li and Yan Shi cautiously turned their gazes toward Queen Medusa.

On the other side, Queen Medusa gave a cold laugh upon hearing this.

"Your information network is quite impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Gu He's eyes lit up, but when he caught a glimpse of Qi Lin out of the corner of his eye, he sighed slightly.

If what he expected was true, Queen Medusa should have already given the Strange Flame to this person.

However, despite thinking this way, Guhe was still unwilling to give up.

It can only be said that the allure of strange fire is irresistible to any alchemist.

Therefore, the skilled and daring Gu He continued to say to Queen Medusa: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the snake people are of the Yin and cold nature, and the strange fire is useless to them. If Your Majesty is willing, I can use two Fighting Spirit Pills and one Transformation Pill to trade with you for that strange fire."

Although you have already broken through to the Dou Zong level, your clansmen will likely still need the Transformation Pill. If properly nurtured, they will undoubtedly become Dou Zong powerhouses in the future.

What do you think? "

Gu He was incredibly sincere, especially when he offered to trade with a Transformation Pill, which shocked even Feng Li, Yan Shi, and Yun Yun standing beside him.

After all, the Transformation Pill is a high-grade seventh-rank pill. Such a high-ranking pill has not been seen in the Jia Ma Empire for a hundred years. Even Gu He himself is only a sixth-rank alchemist.

Queen Medusa's gaze towards Gu He was also filled with surprise, as she had not expected that Gu He would be able to produce a Transformation Pill.

If it weren't for Qi Lin, and if she had also broken through to the Dou Zong level, perhaps she would have offered the Strange Flame to Gu He in this deal.

But now that she has promised the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to Qi Lin, she naturally cannot trade it with Gu He.

"It doesn't matter. The Strange Flame has already been granted to someone else by me. You should leave at once. If I find out that you are acting recklessly among the Snake People, then don't blame me for chasing you to the ends of the earth!" Queen Medusa said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Guhe's expression darkened.

Feng Li and Yan Shi both breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the trip was safe and sound.

Just as Gu He was about to take his leave, Qi Lin suddenly spoke with a smile.

"Sect Leader Yun, we meet again!"

He simply greeted someone he knew.

After all, they had known each other for a while and even stayed at the Yunlan Sect for a few days, so Qi Lin naturally couldn't possibly see Yun Yun and then pretend he didn't.

Although Yun Yun did not expect Qi Lin to greet her suddenly, she still respectfully lifted her hood, revealing her elegant and refined face.

Then, to the astonishment of Gu He and the other two, Yun Yun cupped her hands and smiled faintly at Qi Lin.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Qi Lin!"
