Because of Medusa's attitude towards Zhang Yuan, he became much more polite in his speech.

“Your Majesty, we have an agreement.” Zhang Yuan smiled and said, “Hai Bodong himself is a Dou Huang, and he can help us when we deal with the Mulan Empire. At the same time, he is also the Supreme Elder of the Mittel family of the Jia Ma Empire, which can get this auction house all over the empire and control half of the empire’s commerce to help us.”

"With such assistance, Your Majesty, who is intelligent and has a broad perspective, would you still kill her simply because you find her pleasing to the eye?"

Medusa's lips curled up subtly, and her purple eyes flickered slightly as she said, "What you said makes sense."

Hai Bodong's heart skipped a beat. After noticing Zhang Yuan's suggestive look, he immediately said, "Medusa, cough, Queen, rest assured, if I, Hai Bodong, can recover my strength, I will definitely help you deal with the Mulan Empire."

"As for the Mittel family, since I have been missing for decades, I can't say for sure whether they will still give me face, but I will definitely try my best to persuade them."

Hai Bodong made a decisive statement, and his words were very sincere.

Medusa nodded in satisfaction, and with a flick of her wrist, she launched a streak of purple light.

Hai Bodong sensed the state within his body and his face lit up with ecstasy. He immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed through a nearby door, entering a corridor.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan followed leisurely, taking several meters at a time.

Ling Ying followed closely, and Medusa's beautiful eyes flashed as she also chose to follow.

The corridor is not large, but it is extremely winding and intricate, a true secluded path.

After several twists and turns, Zhang Yuan and his companions arrived at a straight downhill path. The light was not strong, and there was a lamp placed every few feet. Finally, they could see a thick, dark iron door that had been opened.

Behind the iron gate was a basement, where white cold air emanated. The ceiling and surrounding walls were covered with solidified blue and white ice, giving it an eerie and extremely cold appearance. Someone who didn't know better might mistake it for a cold storage room.

Hai Bodong was sitting in the very center of the basement, on a platform made entirely of ice. All the cold air was directed at him, making him feel as if he were in a white mist.

“It’s normal for Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who cultivates ice-attribute battle qi, to have specially created such a place for his cultivation,” Zhang Yuan commented.

Mo City is a scorching desert region where even the sand exudes heat. Cultivators of earth and fire elemental battle qi would find it very beneficial to train nearby.

As an ice-attribute martial arts cultivator, it's perfectly understandable that Hai Bodong would choose to live in seclusion in a place like Mocheng, where he would dig a basement and turn it into an ice cave. This would also help him conceal his aura from being detected.

He was once a Dou Huang powerhouse, but now he's not even a Dou Wang. If this gets out, he'll definitely be targeted by some greedy people, so he has to be careful.

Hai Bodong had already entered a state of cultivation, and energy ripples gradually appeared around him, growing stronger and stronger, making them impossible to ignore.

When the energy ripples solidified like a fierce ocean wave, the surrounding ice shattered, and Hai Bodong's body began to tremble violently. His aged face tightened, and a thin, dark blue snake pattern appeared on his forehead, which was then swallowed by purple light.

After the blue snake pattern was completely devoured by the purple energy, it immediately transformed into a streak and flew into Medusa's hand, where she casually crushed it with her soft, boneless fingers.

Meanwhile, a surge of fierce energy erupted from Hai Bodong's body, instantly spreading throughout his entire being. This made his aged face appear twenty years younger, and his withered white hair became silky and smooth.

In an instant, an old man with gray hair and a frail appearance transformed into a handsome middle-aged man with flowing silver hair. He opened his tightly closed eyes and shot out two beams of tangible light that froze the air within a foot in front of him. A fierce aura spread out, like a lion awakening.

As this aura intensified, the shattered ice in the basement solidified again, thickening several layers to the point where the walls were no longer visible.

"Hahaha!"

"Good, this deadly seal that has tormented me for decades has finally rolled out of my body!"

"From this day forward, I am once again the Battle Emperor!"

Hai Bodong, with wings sprouting from his back, hovered for half a quarter of an hour, his face filled with ecstatic joy. He raised his head and laughed wildly without restraint, his voice transforming into tangible sound waves that shook the basement.

Seeing this, Medusa frowned slightly and said, "So noisy!"

"..." Hai Bodong's smile froze instantly, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

He finally regained his Douhuang strength, completely unprepared for the event. The surprise made him a little carried away, and he even forgot that Medusa, the killer star, was still here.

Back when he was a five-star Dou Huang, he was brutally abused and sealed by Medusa.

Decades have passed, and Medusa has become a "Battle Master," while he is just a low-level Battle Emperor who has been sealed away for decades.

Let alone resealing him, it wouldn't be difficult at all to simply eliminate him.

"Cough, I'm just happy to have regained my strength. I didn't mean anything by it." Hai Bodong landed on the ground, removed the illusory wings from his back, and smiled shyly.

"You just said, 'Damn seal'?" Medusa ate a string of candied hawthorns, still with that nonchalant attitude, as if nothing mattered to her.

Hai Bodong felt a chill run down his spine and immediately explained, "I spoke without thinking, I spoke without thinking."

Medusa wanted to say something, but Zhang Yuan interrupted her, saying, "Elder Hai, is it alright to hand over the incomplete map to me first?"

no problem?

From my perspective as a map-making master, there are significant problems.

However, feeling the "caring" gazes of Medusa and Ling Ying, Hai Bodong said he dared not have any questions.

“Fair trade, of course, no problem.”

Hai Bodong immediately found the original fragment of the map and personally handed it to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan used his soul perception to confirm that it was correct, and then casually put it into a corner of the Taixu Realm.

After doing all this, Zhang Yuan continued, "So, according to the agreement, you'll be under my command for the next three years. Is that alright?"

“As long as I don’t have to do anything that goes against my principles, I’m fine with it,” Hai Bodong said immediately.

"Ok?"

Medusa took the last bite of the candied hawthorn, casually snapped the bamboo skewer in half, and squinted at Hai Bodong.

Little did she know that by lifting the seal on Hai Bodong at Zhang Yuan's request, she would actually make the latter serve Zhang Yuan for three years.

If she had known earlier, she would have preferred to propose the deal herself and have Hai Bodong work for her for three years.

miss.

"."

Hai Bodong felt a chill run down his spine as Medusa stared at him with scrutinizing eyes.

He wondered if it was because he had only served Zhang Yuan for three years that the snake queen was dissatisfied.

That's for sure. This woman has always been so domineering, and now that she's become a "Fighting Master," her ambitions have probably grown even greater.

I don't want her to find some excuse to seal me up for a few more years later, so I have to please her!

"Or, five years?" Hai Bodong offered to extend his term of service.

Zhang Yuan: ?

Medusa: ? ?

Is this guy deliberately trying to provoke me because he senses my displeasure?

"Not enough!?"

Seeing a hint of murderous intent emanating from Medusa, Hai Bodong trembled and immediately said, "Ten years, ten years should be enough!"

Medusa: "."

"Deal!" Zhang Yuan had already guessed what was going on, and to prevent Medusa from ruining his plans, he immediately agreed.

"If any of your clansmen ever reach the peak of the Dou Huang realm, I can use the Five Dragon Thunderfire to help you once again," Zhang Yuan secretly transmitted to Medusa to prevent her from undermining him.

As for using the Strange Flame to help the peak Dou Huang of the Snake-Human Clan advance to Dou Zong, he originally planned to treat it as a long-term business. Giving it away for free once was no big deal, since he wouldn't lose anything.

"Okay," Medusa replied telepathically, agreeing to the condition.

The transaction price was the sum of Hai Bodong's ten years of service to Zhang Yuan.

Hai Bodong himself had no objection to this, and even felt fortunate.

Medusa's "obedience" to Zhang Yuan made the latter's image in his mind even more unfathomable.

Serving such a person may not be a difficult task; it could even be an opportunity.

"Let's go!"

After Hai Bodong had packed what he needed, Zhang Yuan led the way and left.

The group first arrived outside the desert city, and then they all transformed their fighting spirit into wings and flew towards the Stone Desert City.

"Flying combat skills?" Hai Bodong looked at Zhang Yuan's back with surprise.

He hadn't expected that this young man even possessed rare flying combat skills.

But soon, feeling the heat and frenzy emanating from Zhang Yuan's wings, he realized he was wrong.

This was not the kind of conventional flight combat technique he knew, but rather one that utilized the power of a different kind of fire.

"To be able to obtain even the rare and exotic fire that alchemists are so eager to obtain, it is indeed extraordinary."

Hai Bodong secretly admired Zhang Yuan, and his regard for Zhang Yuan increased even more. Then he looked at Medusa and said, "Queen Medusa, you haven't broken through to the Dou Zong level yet?"

Seeing that Medusa maintained her human form, he assumed that she had broken through to the Dou Zong level.

"No, you're still at the peak of the Dou Huang realm." Medusa glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "But killing a Dou Huang like you is just as easy as killing a Dou Zong."

Haibodong: "."

If you don't know how to chat or don't like chatting, you don't have to chat.

"Medusa has those long legs because of me."

Zhang Yuan spoke up to clear up Hai Bodong's confusion, then turned to Medusa and said, "Your Majesty, can I have my things back now?"

"What is that?" Medusa blinked in confusion.

“The Illusion Moon Pearl,” Zhang Yuan said.

“What you give me naturally belongs to me,” Medusa said firmly.

She had a feeling that if she tried to break through in her current state, she could increase her success rate by one point.

Furthermore, having long, slender legs, she didn't want to take off human shoes once she put them on.

Zhang Yuan turned to look at her and said, "You mean, you're going to steal my things?"

Medusa scoffed, "What's in my hands is mine!"

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Haibodong: "."

Should I tell Zhang Yuan a prerequisite first?

It might be effective, but Queen Medusa would absolutely not fight!
