Breaking the Masked Man

Yao Yan remained seated, but the spiritual power emanating from his brow protected the surroundings, preventing the silly girl sleeping beside him with her arm around him from being awakened. At the same time, he looked expectantly at the newcomer.

He was very interested in getting to know Queen Medusa, who was the focus of the original work.

"Soul power?"

Hai Bodong naturally sensed the mysterious power surrounding Yao Yan, and his gaze narrowed slightly. He felt that he had accepted a mission he shouldn't have. She was just an ordinary snake woman, yet she had provoked Queen Medusa and this strange young man. Not only was his strength unknown, but he could also use soul power, which only alchemists could use, and his soul power was definitely not weak.

"brush!"

As a streak of crimson light streaked across the sky, a powerful snake-woman clad in black robes came into view. Her black robes concealed her figure, and she possessed a pair of crimson battle aura wings on her back. She wore a simple white mask on her face, with a small section of her alluring purple snake tail protruding from her skin. With just a casual sway, it exuded an indescribable charm.

This is a figure that has a lot of character even just looking at its tail.

Even Queen Medusa doesn't need safety shorts... Yao Yan looked up, and this thought inexplicably popped into her mind.

"..."

Hai Bodong was under immense pressure. He sensed the terror of the newcomer. If the other party was indeed Queen Medusa, then tonight would be a huge problem!

Perhaps their identities have been exposed.

Queen Medusa did not continue to conceal her face. She reached out and removed the mask, revealing an extremely alluring face. She wore a noble golden crown on her head, and her long, narrow, light purple eyes were naturally captivating, almost able to draw the gaze of every man.

She looked down at Yao Yan and Hai Bodong from her high position, her sweet voice carrying a chilling killing intent: "Have you decided how you want to die?!"

Chapter 48 Sit Down and Let's Talk

So fierce!

Queen Medusa spoke of killing without hesitation. Even after recognizing Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, her eyes did not change in the slightest. Her icy killing intent was so palpable that it made the night temperature feel even lower. At the same time, it made Hai Bodong's heart sink slightly. He could feel the seriousness of the other party, and her tone meant that there was no room for negotiation.

Just who is this snake woman, that she actually managed to make Queen Medusa leave the palace?!

Hai Bodong couldn't help but glance at the snake woman who was still fast asleep beside Yao Yan. He was filled with confusion. Just how much value and magic did she possess that she could attract so many people? Compared to Queen Medusa, whom he knew, this young man in front of him was perhaps the most mysterious one.

Throughout the entire event, it seemed that he was the only one who knew nothing about the snake woman and had come solely for the bounty.

"Queen Medusa, if it's for this snake woman, I can leave!"

Hai Bodong pondered for a moment, then looked up and said.

Getting involved in something like this for a small reward is obviously foolish. He wouldn't be that stubborn. Besides, this is just a mission to find someone in the Tagor Desert. The current situation has undoubtedly gone beyond the mission itself.

If he weren't unsure of Queen Medusa's true intentions, he might have already fled!

Queen Medusa remained silent, her figure slowly descending from mid-air, radiating an aura of domineering queenly power. Ignoring Hai Bodong, she fixed her gaze on Yao Yan, her red lips parting slightly, and a soft, seductive voice that could melt one's bones suddenly rang out: "Alchemist?"

She could naturally sense the same kind of soul power as Hai Bodong.

In the Dou Qi Continent, anyone who can use soul power in this way must be a high-ranking alchemist, and their age is undoubtedly excessively young.

However, compared to a young alchemist, she was more concerned about her younger sister's safety at the moment. Her gaze shifted slightly and she quickly saw her sister's gruesome face. Her cold and beautiful eyes blinked, her expression froze for a moment, and then a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Yao Yan.

Yao Yan was also sizing up Medusa. Her face was exquisite and alluring, and her figure could not be seen because it was covered by the black robe. However, her face alone and the exposed part of her enchanting snake tail were enough to make people's hearts flutter. With the addition of her queenly attire, the temptation was enough to make every man in the world feel hot and instinctively want to conquer and possess her.

He too felt a tremor in his heart, was amazed, and even felt a primal urge.

Yao Yan knew that he was lusting after her beauty and coveting her body, but it was hard not to be tempted by such a stunning beauty, especially when you have the power to turn your thoughts into reality, your desires and impulses will be amplified infinitely.

Of course, the most important point is that his body has matured; he is no longer a boy, but a man.

Hormones begin to affect mood.

Young people often find it hard to resist the allure of beauty, but fortunately, they have the mental restraint of adults.

Yao Yan showed no sign of being moved. He even had the mind to observe Queen Medusa's expression. When he saw the coldness rising in her eyes, he explained, "I didn't bully her. She herself felt that her face was too beautiful and was worried about causing trouble, so she drew it herself with charcoal."

The chill in Medusa's eyes did not dissipate; in fact, the pressure emanating from her body grew even stronger, as if she was about to make a move, which frightened Hai Bodong into assuming a fighting stance.

"She's fast asleep. I advise you not to do anything."

Yao Yan interrupted Queen Medusa's charge, glancing at the silly girl nestled beside her. She said softly, "She must have used a spatial technique recently. All the power in her body was backfired by the spatial power, and even her companion soul was sealed by the spatial power, causing her to temporarily lose her memory... She's been very tired lately, let her get a good night's sleep."

After speaking, he summoned the Golden Flame from his palm, and the golden flames instantly dispelled the darkness.

"Strange fire?!"

Queen Medusa and Hai Bodong's expressions both changed. Given their status, they naturally knew about the existence of the strange fire and what it meant to an alchemist.

Yao Yan looked at their expressions and guessed what they were thinking. He said, "It's not a strange fire, but a kind of beast fire that comes from the cub of a seventh-order magical beast - the Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast. It's called the Illusionary Gold Fire. Of course, its power is quite good, enough for my current use."

As he spoke, he rekindled the campfire with his Illusionary Gold Fire. The blazing flames radiated light and heat, instantly raising the temperature around them and dispelling the chill they had brought.

At this moment, both Queen Medusa and Hai Bodong remained silent, for they both clearly understood what a seventh-tier magical beast meant. It was an existence that only a Dou Zong powerhouse could rival. To obtain and refine such a beast fire meant that the other party was an alchemist of unknown rank...

All the intelligence gathered led to the conclusion that Yao Yan's background was not simple and he did not seem to be from the Jia Ma Empire.

Even Queen Medusa wouldn't want to offend someone like that, because their background is likely beyond her reach. However, if they dared to bully her sister, that would be a different story; she has never been a woman who would compromise.

"You two should put away your fighting spirit. If you're both so tense, we can't have a proper conversation."

Yao Yan said something softly, then invited the two of them to sit down and talk.

In fact, there was no conflict between them. Ice Emperor Haibodong accepted a mission issued by the Snake People. Queen Medusa had inherited the throne and was forced by her people to kill her sister. However, she was unwilling to kill her sister and could only chase after her while looking for an opportunity to rescue her.

Unfortunately, Queen Medusa's sister suffered from amnesia, which ultimately led to the tragedy.

Faced with Yao Yan's mysterious background, Queen Medusa and Hai Bodong tacitly withdrew their fighting spirit. They were still willing to reason with someone they might not be able to afford to offend.

Queen Medusa sat gracefully cross-legged, her cold, beautiful purple eyes fixed on Yao Yan. Her red lips parted slightly, breaking the silence first: "Young Master is not a member of the Gama Empire?"

The murderous intent in her sweet voice had vanished, replaced by a gentle, alluring tone that captivated the heart.

"Yes, I come from the far south of Zhongzhou. I originally planned to go to the Black Corner Region for training, but I was unlucky and encountered a spatial storm while traveling through space, and then I came here and happened to meet this Queen Medusa who has lost her memory."

Yao Yan nodded, explained her situation, and then admired Queen Medusa's stunning beauty.

The other person's features were exactly the same as his silly younger sister's, but their temperaments were completely different. One was alluring and beautiful, making people's hearts burn with passion, like a queen-like mature woman, while the other was gentle, kind, sweet and lovely, like a caring older sister next door.

Their contrasting styles complement each other perfectly.

"Another Medusa Queen?!"

Hai Bodong's pupils contracted, and he suddenly looked at the snake woman beside Yao Yan, then at Queen Medusa, and some guesses formed in his mind.

He noticed Hai Bodong's gaze.

Queen Medusa glanced at the other party, a cold smile curving her red lips, and warned in a chilling voice, "If you don't want your eyes anymore, I can take them out for you later. Also, you'd better forget everything you heard tonight!"

This generation of Medusa Queen was an identical twin, a fact that was kept extremely secret within the Serpent People race, known only to a very small number of people.

If Yao Yan hadn't been there, she would have definitely kept Hai Bodong in the Tagor Desert forever, even if it meant paying a price!

Chapter 49 This world is too crazy

Faced with Queen Medusa's threat, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong chose to remain silent. He was never the type to engage in verbal sparring, and verbal exchanges were meaningless to him, especially when facing a powerful figure like Queen Medusa. As a former assassin, he knew how to choose.

He will not turn against someone or engage in meaningless fighting until the other party crosses his bottom line.

As expected of the future Elder Hai, he is flexible and resilient. As a Dou Huang powerhouse, he was able to endure being insulted by Queen Medusa, who is also a Dou Huang. In other worlds, he would have said: "You are already courting death!"

Yao Yan chuckled to himself. In truth, he knew that in terms of raw strength alone, Hai Bodong was no match for Queen Medusa, especially in a life-or-death struggle. At most, Queen Medusa would be seriously injured, while Hai Bodong would undoubtedly die. The gap between a peak nine-star Dou Huang and a five-star Dou Huang was not small.

Moreover, Queen Medusa has the trump card of her companion soul, which is enough to instantly amplify her own strength. The combination of the two is not as simple as one plus one.

now.

Queen Medusa's gaze had already withdrawn and returned to Yao Yan. Her cold purple eyes reflected his figure, and her alluring red lips pursed as if she were organizing her thoughts. After a moment, she said somewhat awkwardly, "Since you come from the distant Central Continent, then you have no conflict with us. May I have you handed over to me?"

Her words, spoken in this manner, undoubtedly carried a hint of submission, yet for the sake of her sister, Queen Medusa was willing to lower her proud head.

Of course, this is also related to Yao Yan's mysterious background.

“You don’t need to do this. This is your own family matter. I’m an outsider and have no right to interfere. Meeting her was just a coincidence. If she hadn’t lost her memory, I wouldn’t have kept her by my side. But I can tell that she’s a bit naive and romantic. She doesn’t seem to be a qualified Medusa Queen.”

Yao Yan smiled and said softly.

His clothes were somewhat disheveled at the moment, but they could not hide the confidence and openness that came from his prominent family, yet his demeanor remained unchanged.

Queen Medusa seemed to recall some unpleasant memories because of Yao Yan's words, and her tone suddenly turned cold as she said, "These...have nothing to do with you, young master."

Yao Yan remained calm as he looked into Queen Medusa's captivating purple eyes and said, "Although I haven't known her for long, I quite like her personality. If she were to return to the Snake People voluntarily, I wouldn't stop her. But her previous behavior suggests that she doesn't want to return to the Snake People. In fact, it gives me the feeling that the Snake People are a cage for her."

A cage?!

Queen Medusa gently bit her lower lip, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. The charm she revealed in that instant was captivating. After a moment, she said coldly, "These matters are internal affairs of the Snake People. I will handle them properly. There is no need for you to worry about them, young master!"

Yao Yan shook his head, seemingly not wanting Medusa to handle the situation well: "If I'm not mistaken, you and she are both Medusa Queens of this generation of the Snake-People. According to the rules of the Snake-People, there can only be one Medusa Queen in each generation. Now that you have inherited the throne, and she is wandering outside with amnesia, plus this Dou Huang who is unaware of the situation is relentlessly pursuing her, I have reason to suspect that your Snake-People want to kill her!"

"With me here, no one can touch her!"

Queen Medusa became agitated for a moment, abruptly standing up. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, had clenched into fists, and her fighting spirit stirred within her. An aura of a peak nine-star Dou Huang emanated from her, causing the flames on the fire to flicker.

"It's okay to deceive others, but don't deceive yourself. If you really had the ability to protect her, she wouldn't have had to use a spatial secret technique to escape, resulting in her being seriously injured, losing her memory, and having her battle qi cultivation sealed."

Yao Yan continued to provoke Queen Medusa's fragile psychological defenses.

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa's aura faltered instantly, and her eyes dimmed slightly. At that moment, she thought of those old fogies in her tribe. If they hadn't always used tribal rules to suppress them, she and her sister wouldn't have ended up like this.

But as Medusa Queens, they had to bear the fate of their entire race...
