I can't say that I'm a time traveler and know that you can evolve into a Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python in the future. That's stupid.

"As far as I know, your Serpent People possess a unique secret method that allows you to evolve with the help of strange fire. Once the evolution is successful, there is a chance that your bloodline will revert to your ancestral lineage. You should be planning to use the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in your hands to complete this evolution, correct?"

Although it was a question, Jiufeng looked very confident.

Just now, he keenly sensed the faint aura of strange fire on Medusa. Although it was extremely weak, it did not escape his perception. From this, he concluded that Medusa had already obtained the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.

"How did you know?" Queen Medusa's face was full of shock, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notes.

She had never revealed to anyone the secret method of evolution of the Snake People or the fact that she held the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Evolving with the help of strange fire is an extremely dangerous thing, and she has just made up her mind, so even the elders and tribal leaders in the tribe know nothing about it.

She didn't understand why Jiufeng knew all this.

Medusa stared at Jiufeng, wanting to get the answer from him.

Jiufeng just smiled and remained silent, which made Medusa feel that he was even more unfathomable and mysterious.

Chapter 8 Collecting Qinglin

Jiufeng: "It seems this is true."

Medusa didn't dare to deny it. Since the other party could say it so confidently, he must know something.

If she denied it rashly, she couldn't guarantee whether the other party would be angry.

Although Jiufeng had behaved very kindly since they met, she was not sure whether he was the kind of person who was smiling but had a dagger hidden in his smile before she got to know his true character.

We really can’t afford to offend the Snake People!

"Yes, how did you know that?" Medusa asked again.

"You don't need to worry about how I know this." Jiu Feng waved her hand casually. "You just need to understand that I'm interested in your talent after your successful evolution..."

Medusa couldn't help but ask, "Do you think I can evolve successfully?"

She felt that Jiufeng's confidence in her successful evolution was even greater than her own.

After all, the risk of evolving with strange fire is too great, and even she herself does not have much confidence.

"Well, I bet that you can evolve successfully. If I bet right, I will recruit a person with good talent. Even if I bet wrong, it will not be a loss for me." Jiufeng described a fact lightly.

From beginning to end, Jiufeng never asked Medusa whether she was willing to follow him after her successful evolution.

Because Medusa had no power to refuse.

Medusa understood this truth very well, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

The huge disparity in strength left her without the courage to stand up and resist.

She could only silently comfort herself in her heart: At least, he hasn't made any other overly shameless requests yet...

"Can I know the power behind you?"

Medusa wanted to first understand the power background behind Jiufeng.

"Let's talk about it after you evolve successfully!"

Jiufeng's answer was so clear and concise that it choked Medusa.

If you think about it carefully, she herself may not be able to evolve successfully, so it is indeed too early to consider this issue now.

"When do you plan to evolve?"

"I was injured while collecting the strange fire. I want to recuperate for a while and prepare the materials needed for evolution..." Medusa answered cautiously, and her tone hinted at seeking Jiufeng's opinion.

“How long does it take to prepare?”

"About five months!"

"Well, arrange the evolution as soon as possible!"

Medusa breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Jiufeng couldn't wait and let her evolve with injuries.

If that were the case, her chances of evolving successfully would undoubtedly become even slimmer.

In fact, Jiufeng wanted to say that he had some healing pills, but he stopped talking when the words came to his lips.

It’s not that he is stingy, but he is really not sure whether these pills will have a negative impact on Medusa’s evolution.

The butterfly effect...

Jiufeng estimated in her heart that five months would be the time when Xiao Yan would come to the Snake People to snatch the strange fire.

It does coincide with the time of the original novel.

Jiufeng also wanted to see with her own eyes what was so extraordinary about the protagonist in the original novel...

He had promised his father that he would go back within a year. It was still early, so it would be okay to wait here for a while. He could take the opportunity to do other things.

For example, go to Shimo City and capture Qinglin.

Medusa arranged the best residence for Jiufeng and ordered the maids not to be negligent in the slightest and to report to her promptly any action Jiufeng took.

……

In Shimo City, Jiufeng asked around and came to the Motie Mercenary Group.

At this time, a little girl with a delicate face in green clothes was surrounded by a group of children and was being ridiculed.

One of the little boys suddenly grabbed her sleeve, and the green snake scales on the little girl's slender wrist were instantly exposed.

"Look, it's snake scales! She is a snake person!" The little boy screamed, his face full of disgust and ridicule.

This girl is Qinglin.

Qinglin couldn't bear such humiliation. He slowly squatted down, hugged his knees, buried his head, sobbed softly, and his small body trembled constantly.

Seeing this, the group of children burst into laughter and dispersed.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman appeared with a basin of clothes and shouted at the top of her voice: "Don't think you can be lazy just because you cry. Hurry up and wash these clothes. Wash them clean for me, or you will be in trouble!"

It was obvious that this middle-aged woman often ordered Qinglin around.

The washtub was full of dirty clothes. For a little girl like Qinglin, it would take a long time to wash all the clothes.

"Yes, Aunt Liu." Qinglin was flustered. She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and reached out to take the basin of clothes.

But before her hand touched the basin, the clothes in the basin were suddenly knocked away by a burst of fighting spirit, and fell to the ground with a "clang", and the dirty clothes were scattered everywhere.

Jiufeng suddenly appeared.

"Who are you? Do you know these are what the adults will be wearing tomorrow?" The middle-aged woman flew into a rage, pointing at Jiufeng and cursing, "Can you handle the consequences of delaying the adults' mission?"

"Shut up!" Jiufeng spat out two words coldly.

In an instant, the middle-aged woman felt as if her body was imprisoned by an invisible force, unable to move, her eyes full of fear.

"Are you bullied by them like this every day?"

Jiufeng asked Qinglin.

When he got closer, Jiufeng could see clearly that there were three tiny emerald green dots in Qinglin's pupils, which looked a bit weird.

"I did it all voluntarily... I did it voluntarily..." Qinglin's voice trembled, he was timid and inferior, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Jiufeng: "Do you know why they bully you?"

"Because I am the descendant of humans and snake people..." Qinglin lowered his head in inferiority, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"No, it's because you are too weak and don't have the strength to resist! If you were powerful, how dare they treat you like this?" Jiu Feng said as he pointed at the middle-aged woman.

Only then did Qinglin realize that Aunt Liu beside him was not moving at all.

Jiufeng gently extended her hand and whispered, "Are you willing to come with me? If you come with me, I will make you strong and you will never be bullied again..."

Qinglin felt an unprecedented warmth. No one had ever spoken to her so gently...

"I... I do." Qinglin hesitated for a moment, then timidly stretched out her slender little hand and gently placed it on Jiufeng's hand.

Jiufeng took Qinglin and turned away.

Aunt Liu didn't regain her ability to move until then. Seeing Jiufeng's back stepping on the void, she collapsed to the ground in fear.

Did he just point at a Dou Zong expert and curse him?

At the same time, she was secretly glad that this strong man did not kill her.

But the next second, accompanied by a muffled sound, her whole body instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist.

Needless to say, this was naturally done by Jiufeng.

The reason why he didn't take action just now was because he was concerned about Qinglin being next to him and was afraid of scaring her.

Do you really think Jiufeng is a good person?

Chapter 9 Medusa's Plea

Jiufeng brought Qinglin back to the snake people.

She also asked Medusa to arrange a place for her to live, and did not consider herself an outsider at all.

When Qinglin saw the residence assigned to them, he froze in his tracks. Compared to the simple, cramped quarters of Stone Desert City, the residence before him was like a palace from a dream.

"Young Master, this... this place is too luxurious." Qinglin's voice trembled slightly, his eyes were full of panic and anxiety, and his hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of his clothes.

Living in a difficult environment for a long time made her feel unworthy of the sudden beauty.

Jiufeng looked at Qinglin and sighed slightly.

This Qinglin is also pitiful.

But his attitude remained firm: "I told you to live here, so live here!" His tone was unquestionable and carried a certain irresistible majesty.

He thought of a saying from his previous life: People with twisted personalities need forced love...

Qinglin has been bullied for a long time and is self-deprecating and cowardly. If she is not so tough, she probably will not accept it.

When Qinglin heard Jiufeng's words, her body trembled slightly. She did not dare to disobey Jiufeng.

She was afraid that any action of hers would displease Jiufeng, causing her to abandon her and forcing her to return to Desert City and live the same life of being bullied as before.
