Chapter 154 Bowing My Head
Okay, okay! Okay! I'll change it!
With these words spoken, Queen Medusa of the Snake-People, whose beauty and fear were renowned throughout the world, truly became Xiao Feng's subordinate.
Xiao Feng, seemingly oblivious to Medusa's gritted teeth and hatred, praised her, saying, "That's right."
"Alright, go and appease the snake people first, otherwise I can't guarantee what might happen." After saying that, Xiao Feng slowly walked forward under Medusa's direct gaze and sat in the seat that originally belonged to Medusa in the hall. His nonchalant appearance made it seem as if this was his home.
Seeing Xiao Feng's actions, Medusa clenched her fists tightly and then quickly left. She couldn't stay there any longer because she was afraid that if she stayed with Xiao Feng any longer, she would lose her temper and attack!
As Medusa stepped out of the main hall, she realized that so many people had gathered in front of it.
A large portion of these people were Medusa's guards. They had all been affected by the terrifying pressure Xiao Feng had released earlier and were searching for the source of that pressure, eventually finding this place.
But just as they were about to enter the main hall, they discovered that the hall was completely shrouded by an invisible force, which they could not break through, let alone enter.
This light barrier was set up by Xiao Feng after he sensed their presence. After all, Medusa had not yet chosen to submit, and if they entered now, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
Even though this light barrier was just something Xiao Feng casually set up, it was not something that some Dou Wang or Dou Ling could break. Although these guards were extremely anxious and worried that Medusa would be persecuted, they were powerless against the light barrier and could only wait outside.
Standing at the head of the group was none other than Flower Snake, the captain of the Medusa Snake Guard, who possessed the strength of a Dou Wang (Battle King) realm. Beside her was Moon Charm, the leader of the Snake-People tribe, who was also at the Dou Wang realm.
Upon seeing Medusa suddenly appear, Flower Snake hurriedly went up the mountain, knelt on the ground, and anxiously asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Medusa, who had just come out of the main hall, was stunned by the scene before her. However, she quickly figured out the reason. She guessed that Hua She'er and the others had come because of the oppressive aura they had felt earlier. The reason they hadn't entered the main hall must have been the work of that mysterious expert named Xiao Feng.
"I am fine, you may all disperse and not crowd around here."
"This..." Upon hearing Medusa's words, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say. It was Flower Snake who reacted first and replied, "Since Her Majesty the Queen is unharmed, we will take our leave." After saying that, she led everyone away from there.
Watching Hua She'er lead everyone away, Medusa breathed a sigh of relief. She understood Hua She'er and the others' worries, but she also had her pride. Could she possibly tell Hua She'er and the others that she had submitted to Xiao Feng? How could she possibly say that!
Medusa's appearance was a shot in the arm for the snake people. Under the leadership of Flower Snake and others, the city quickly returned to its former state.
Perhaps not wanting to see Xiao Feng, Medusa didn't return to the main hall even after resolving the matter with Hua She'er and the others. And Xiao Feng? He wasn't in the mood to pay attention to any of that; he was currently facing a huge problem!
Medusa has now bowed her head, which can be considered as taking the first step. But should he still do what he promised before? Helping Medusa evolve should have been something that would benefit both of them. If Medusa evolves, her talent will naturally be higher, which would shorten the time it takes for her to break through to the Dou Sheng realm.
However, the most crucial issue now is the timeline. According to the original trajectory, Medusa should still be at the peak of the Douhuang realm at this time. After that, Hai Bodong returned to the Tagor Desert and was sealed by her, remaining in the Desert City.
Hai Bodong possesses a fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, which Xiao Feng cannot afford to miss. If Medusa undergoes any changes due to his arrival, it becomes uncertain whether Hai Bodong will actually obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, or even whether he can survive under Medusa's control.
Where will Xiao Feng find the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map by then? Because he has no idea where Hai Bodong got it from.
However, if we don't help Medusa evolve, and after Hai Bodong is sealed away by her, we will have to wait for several years. This might make Medusa doubt her promise. Moreover, if we help Medusa evolve now, these few years will be enough for her strength to be greatly improved!
"Forget it, forget it. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is more important. Medusa's evolution can be earlier or later, it just means she'll break through to the Dou Sheng realm later. If I can devour and refine the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, my strength will definitely be greatly enhanced. Becoming an eight-star Dou Sheng is only natural, and even breaking through to a nine-star Dou Sheng is not impossible!"
"When that time truly comes, that will be the time for the Xiao Clan to truly return!" With this thought in mind, Xiao Feng made up his mind.
After waiting outside the palace for a while, Medusa returned to the main hall, knowing that she could not escape it!
Looking at Medusa in front of him, Xiao Feng said to her, "Now I'm giving you your first task. Next, you need to mobilize all the snake people in the Tagor Desert to find an ancient, tattered map. This map will have irregular stripes and an extremely blurry lotus flower pattern. Bring back any map that matches my description!"
Xiao Feng vaguely remembered that the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map that Hai Bodong obtained was in the Tagor Desert. Although he couldn't change much, sending people to search the area would be fine. If they could find it, that would be best, and they wouldn't need to wait for Hai Bodong. If they couldn't find it, that wouldn't matter either; they could just get it from Hai Bodong later.
Therefore, Xiao Feng's actions were not harmful to him in any way.
Hearing Xiao Feng's order, Medusa felt a little hard to accept, but she still agreed: "Yes, I will order the snake people to search with all their might!" Although she didn't know what Xiao Feng was looking for, since it was something that made him go to such lengths to search, it must be something extraordinary, and she naturally couldn't afford to be careless.
