Chapter 348: Medusa Queen? The Flame Emperor!!! (Part 1)
Chapter 348: Medusa Queen? The Flame Emperor!!! (Part 1)
2024-07-06
Meanwhile, far away in the Southwest Domain, Lin Fan was also feeling confused in Moon Embrace Palace.
"This..."
"The Serpent Clan??"
"No, what the heck is this?"
"Don't mess around."
"Xiao Ling'er is a girl, a female! She can't possibly have a male Medusa King, right? And... why is Ling'er so panicked? She's visibly scared!"
Lin Fan spurted out a mouthful of tea, and for a moment, a lump in his throat made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"..."
Speaking of which, it wasn't surprising to Lin Fan that the main character had a harem.
After all... it's not that rare to find a male protagonist without a harem, but there are definitely more protagonists with harems.
And Xiao Huo-huo was definitely a winner in life.
However, the problem was, Xiao Ling'er was a girl!
If she were to have a harem... would she also have a bunch of male favorites? Just thinking about her being intimate with several men made Lin Fan cringe.
It wasn't jealousy or envy, but simply the thought that made him cringe.
"I hope it's not like that."
"But, perhaps we'll get an answer soon, it's just that... the timing feels a bit off."
Lin Fan was somewhat puzzled.
"According to the cultivation realm in the novel..."
"Xiao Ling'er's current realm is even stronger than the Queen's in the novel."
"If they were to meet at this moment, what would happen?"
"A domineering Flame Emperor and his Serpent Clan little wife?"
"..."
Lin Fan couldn't help but complain, "Could it be that after Xiao Ling'er became my disciple, under the influence of me, a transmigrator, her destiny changed, so she had a relatively stable life before this, and thus didn't have the chance to meet the Medusa Queen template?"
"And then..."
"Because of the 'convergence' of world lines, or rather, the mysterious force pushing from behind, wanting her to return to the right track, she will eventually meet the Queen."
"But because Xiao Ling'er became stronger too quickly, and due to the 'disorderly sequence', this situation arises?"
"..."
"Not necessarily, perhaps the Medusa Queen in this world is a Ninth Realm expert?"
"If that's the case..."
"Tsk."
"!"
Suddenly, Lin Fan's face darkened, "It's them, they're really the Serpent Clan?"
"Oh my, please don't let it be a male Medusa King!"
Lin Fan never discriminated based on gender, but at this moment... he particularly emphasized the importance of gender.
"..."
"Is it really... the Serpent Clan?"
Looking at the large group of Serpent Clan cultivators who finally couldn't bear to block their path, Xiao Ling'er's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
The Serpent Clan!
This impression was too deep.
Although she had never seen the Serpent Clan before, there were many of them in the 'novel' that her master gave her.
The key point was, that seemingly ordinary novel was clearly her master's 'prophecy' and 'guidance' for her.
But the problem arose.
In the novel, Xiao Huo-huo had a child with the Medusa Queen.
Could it be that she... would also have a child with the king of the Medusa Clan?
"!"
"But that's not right either."
For a moment, Xiao Ling'er's heart was in turmoil.
"Xiao Huo-huo has Xun'er, a childhood friend who grew up together, and then he had a relationship and a child with Medusa. I don't have my own 'Xun'er', so in terms of 'emotions', my master should have only added 'artistic elements' for 'artistic purposes'."
"I won't have a child with Medusa?"
With this thought, Xiao Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.
After all...
Family knows family matters.
She had never had feelings for any man up until now, but instead... cough cough.
Even an outstanding man like Lu Ming only gave her a friend-like feeling.
Only her master had left some ripples in her heart.
But even then, it was only a slight ripple.
She couldn't imagine having a child with any man, let alone... she couldn't even imagine herself liking a man.
After calming down a little, Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"It's really confusing, why think so much? Although 'Flame Emperor' is my master's 'prophecy', it's obvious that it doesn't fully match the present world!"
"For example, the emotional line is completely different."
"Silly worries."
"Yeah, they're all silly worries."
Thinking of this, she smiled at Huo Yun'er.
But...
With this smile, she suddenly realized, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
"That's not right!"
"I don't have Xun'er, but I have 'Yun'er'!"
"What?!"
Xiao Ling'er was confused.
Her heart was in complete turmoil, and she almost couldn't hold onto her 'sword'.
"Ling'er?"
Huo Yun'er was stunned.
These Serpent Clan cultivators weren't too strong, just numerous. Logically, the two of them working together could easily break through.
But why did Xiao Ling'er suddenly become 'weak', her combat strength greatly reduced, and her expression so strange?
What... happened?!
"Could it be that you were poisoned?"
She couldn't help but suspect that Xiao Ling'er had been secretly attacked.
Otherwise, how could someone as strong as Xiao Ling'er suddenly become so 'weak'?
"Ah? Oh? This... no, not at all."
Xiao Ling'er managed to stabilize her mind and said, "I just suddenly thought of something, be careful!"
She temporarily regained her state, but when she fought, her movements were gentle.
To kill, or not to kill, that was the question.
Huo Yun'er was perplexed by Xiao Ling'er's actions, but she soon realized, "You must be thinking, it's better to stay out of trouble. Let's keep a line of communication open for now, and once we understand everything, we can deal with it accordingly."
Xiao Ling'er: "..."
"Yes, you're right."
"..."
What else could she say?
Xiao Ling'er sighed, feeling helpless as she gazed at the sky.
This was a battlefield of slaughter...
Pfft!
Heaven forbid this be a battlefield of slaughter.
...
A fierce battle ensued.
Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er joined forces, and although they didn't go all out, their strength was still overwhelming for the current Serpent Clan.
After half a day of intense fighting, all the Serpent Clan cultivators present were suppressed and sealed, unable to resist further.
"Phew!"
Xiao Ling'er heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, no one was fatally injured.
She rubbed her forehead, feeling helpless as she asked, "Now, can we have a calm discussion?"
The Serpent Clan cultivators: "..."
They fell silent for a moment.
But soon, they could only smile bitterly.
Then, one of the strongest among them spoke up, "What exactly are you trying to do?!"
They usually didn't show any kindness to outsiders, but the strength of these two women was simply too formidable!
After the intense battle, even if they were slow to react, they now understood that these two women could easily slaughter them all.
It would be even easier than suppressing and sealing them.
But until now, not a single member of their clan had been lost, indicating that these women weren't as vicious as they had imagined.
Talking it out wasn't out of the question.
However, even with this realization, they still felt extremely displeased.
"Just two women, yet they swept through our clan's core strength. This is simply..."
They gritted their teeth, wanting to say something harsh.
But as the words reached their lips, they could only sigh and give up.
What's the point of harsh words now?
Their people were already suppressed; what good would harsh words do?
"What are you trying to do?"
Xiao Ling'er shook her head, "That's an interesting question. After all, it's us who should be asking you that."
"We, as sisters, have just arrived and never harmed anyone. But from the moment we entered the desert, you've been following and spying on us. And half a day ago, so many of you attacked together."
"If we sisters weren't fortunate enough to have some strength, we'd probably be dead by your hands already."
"And you ask us what we're trying to do?"
Xiao Ling'er's voice turned cold, "Don't you think that's inappropriate?"
"..."
The Serpent Clan's strongest cultivator was taken aback but sighed helplessly, "This desert is our Serpent Clan's territory, our ancestral land! You barged in so brazenly and even attempted to enter our forbidden grounds. How could we not take action?"
"Why didn't you inform us in advance?" Xiao Ling'er frowned.
"Inform in advance? Our ancestors prophesied that outsiders like you are ruthless killers. For treasures and resources, you would slaughter our entire clan, leaving us in eternal ruin."
"How could we let you have your way?!"
The Serpent Clan cultivator spoke with righteous indignation.
"Yes!"
"Exactly!"
"We must not let you succeed!"
The other Serpent Clan members chimed in, their anger palpable.
Huo Yun'er was speechless and whispered, "Ling'er, do they have a problem?"
"This..."
Xiao Ling'er replied softly, "Yun'er, you joined the sect later, so you weren't there when our master taught us about this. That's why you're unaware."
"I remember our master's teachings. Close relatives marrying and breeding can result in deformed offspring, and their intelligence may also be comparatively low."
"Trapped in the Celestial Tomb, they can only rely on themselves for reproduction, generation after generation..."
Huo Yun'er's face turned colorful, "There's such a thing?"
"Of course, our master wouldn't deceive me!" Xiao Ling'er trusted Lin Fan implicitly.
Even if Lin Fan pointed at a deer and called it a horse, she would still believe it was a horse. It's just that people have been misnaming things since childhood.
"What are you whispering about?!"
Seeing the two women talking, a Serpent Clan cultivator roared, "Speak your minds!"
"What's your purpose here?!"
"Are you here for our queen?!"
"If so, even if you slaughter our entire clan, we will never agree!"
He glared at the two women with intense hostility.
But...
As soon as he spoke, the other Serpent Clan members turned and stared at him, their eyes filled with anger, helplessness, and disappointment.
"Shut up!"
"You're not mute!" The first Serpent Clan cultivator who spoke up cursed.
Damn it!
Why reveal the clan's secret?
Now they'd be interested, right?
Isn't this inviting trouble?
They were furious.
But they didn't notice that Xiao Ling'er had completely frozen.
What did I just hear?
Serpent Clan, queen?!
Could it be 'Medusa'?
But we're all girls!
For some reason, Xiao Ling'er suddenly felt inexplicably happy, as if...
Girls, emmmm, just right?
But, cough, cough, cough.
She glanced at Huo Yun'er beside her, feeling a sense of guilt.
But she hadn't done anything wrong.
At least not yet.
"..."
After much deliberation, Xiao Ling'er decided to figure out what was going on.
After all, they were already here.
Moreover, since their master included the Serpent Clan and Medusa Queen in the 'Flame Emperor' book, there must be a profound connection between them. If they missed this opportunity, it might affect their future?
“···”
“Don’t let our master down!”
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling Er immediately spoke, “You... Queen?”
The faces of the Serpent Clan’s strong individuals instantly changed, and they then glared viciously at the ‘foolish egg’ clan member, each of them wishing to devour it alive.
“He has long been out of his mind.”
“Don’t pay attention to it. What queen? Don’t overthink it.”
“That’s right, there’s no queen.”
“How can we believe what a madman says?”
“???” The person was confused: “Out of his mind? Madman? When did I become mad? When did I become out of my mind?”
“The Queen was clearly...”
“Shut up!!!”
All the Serpent Clan individuals spoke with one voice, angrily rebuking him, “Such nonsense is no different from being out of one’s mind!?”
“Oh~~~”
Xiao Ling Er raised her hand to stop them from continuing the argument. Instead, she said lightly, “Are you treating me as a fool, or do you think I’m easy to deceive?”
Upon hearing this, the Serpent Clan’s strong individuals fell silent, their faces turning grim.
“It’s all your fault!”
They glared at the ‘out of mind’ clan member, unable to contain their anger.
“This...”
“What do you mean, it’s my fault?”
“I’m clearly stating the facts, you...”
It still didn’t think it had done anything wrong and instead spoke with a sense of righteousness, “It’s you all who are being unreasonable. What do you mean?”
“Are you all out of your minds as well?”
The Serpent Clan’s strong individuals laughed bitterly, closing their eyes, unable to bear seeing or hearing any more.
Damn, even the heavens are against us!
Just because of your foolishness, you still have the nerve to say we’re out of our minds?
Fck!!!
If the Serpent Clan is destroyed, it’s all your fault.
Fck!
Among them, some smart ones still wanted to speak up and deceive, but Xiao Ling Er had already set up a soundproof barrier, refusing to listen to them. Instead, she pulled the ‘smart one’ of the Serpent Clan in front of her.
“I think they’re all out of their minds.”
“Talking nonsense with their eyes wide open, isn’t that right?”
“That’s natural. I never tell lies!” the smart one snorted.
“Admirable!”
Xiao Ling Er gave a thumbs up, “I admire people like you, who are always respected no matter where they go.”
“That’s natural!” The smart one couldn’t help but smile, but the next second, the smile vanished, and he said with a dark face, “But they actually say I’m out of my mind?!”
“That’s their problem, not yours,” Xiao Ling Er praised, “You have no problems at all!”
“We can all vouch for it.”
“Right, right, right, you absolutely have no problems,” Huo Yun Er supported from the side.
At this moment, she clearly understood her best friend’s intentions.
But...
Isn’t using such methods to communicate with this smart one a bit too overbearing?
Cough, cough!
“This is much better.”
“You still have good judgment. My fellow clan members are simply...” The smart one pointed at his head, shaking it vigorously and sighing deeply.
“Sigh!”
“Never mind, never mind. I’ve let you see my folly.”
“I think you’re not bad people.”
From a young age, he had been ‘excluded’ and told he wasn’t smart...
Now, finally, someone agreed with him.
Though they weren’t of the same clan and were outsiders, so what? There was nothing wrong with that!
They were outsiders, and although they had used force, they hadn’t harmed his life or any of the clan members’ lives. This proved they weren’t enemies.
Since they weren’t enemies...
Their acknowledgment naturally carried weight!
With the smart one’s words, many Serpent Clan strong individuals were left speechless, all feeling extremely uncomfortable, even wishing they could pass out immediately.
It’s over!
Completely over!
Over and done for!
Damn, this smart one...
One of them muttered, “It’s my fault, all my fault.”
“Knowing he has a slow mind, why did I still bring him out?”
“I’m a sinner, I’m a sinner!”
“This...” Other Serpent Clan strong individuals smiled bitterly, consoling him, “Actually, this can’t be entirely your fault.”
“Who would have thought that Amoyi would act like this?”
“On a daily basis, although his mind reacts a bit slower and he’s a bit stubborn, this isn’t a bad thing. At least, he is simple and stubborn, which has made his cultivation path advance by leaps and bounds, giving him a natural advantage, even surpassing us.”
“Who knew that when he met outsiders, he would...”
“Sigh!”
“It’s still my fault. After all, he hasn’t met outsiders before, he lacks experience, this...”
“It’s over and done for!”
They blamed and were frustrated with themselves.
Watching Amoyi and Xiao Ling Er getting along better and better, they all covered their eyes, laughing bitterly, with hearts deeply hurt.
“...So, why do you discriminate so much?”
“We have no grudges, so why did you attack us directly?”
Finally, Xiao Ling Er and Amoyi had grown closer. In Amoyi’s view, Xiao Ling er had become his closest and most understanding friend!
Someone who understood him better than any other clan member.
Worthy of trust!
Thus, he was completely unguarded, without the slightest hesitation, “Hey, actually, it’s all because of our clan’s queen.”
“Your clan’s queen?”
Xiao Ling Er pressed further.
Huo Yun Er didn’t speak but quietly perked her ears up.
“Mm-hm, my clan’s queen is currently in a very critical period.”
“Our Serpent Clan, due to bloodline purity and other reasons, enters the ‘snake shedding period’ every so often.”
“Shedding the old shell, welcoming new life.”
“And after each shedding, they become incredibly weak, but then they recover at an extremely fast rate.”
“However, this ‘extremely fast’ is relative.”
“With our queen’s strength, it takes about a month.”
“But now, she is in her weakened state. We must protect her, and when she recovers, she will inevitably break through to a major realm, becoming even stronger.”
"Oh?"
"I see."
Xiao Ling Er nodded slightly.
Huo Yun Er, however, raised a question: "Even so, shouldn't you be worried about your own enemies and rival forces, rather than us outsiders?"
"The Oracle once said that all outsiders are evil. Of course, I thought he was talking nonsense.
