"Lick..."
The cute, chibi-style Qing Meng dipped his finger into the bottle containing the accompanying purple crystal source, extended it toward the seven-colored little snake, and said with a smile.
The seven-colored little snake looked at the smiling, ill-intentioned fellow in front of him, a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Jee..."
He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the accompanying purple crystal source, and slowly moved forward.
The evil smile on Qing Meng's face grew wider, and he held a jade slip for recording images in his other hand.
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python flicked his tongue, arched his body, and with lightning speed, bit down hard on Qing Meng's index finger.
"Meng... It hurts..." Qing Meng screamed in pain.
I told you to lick, not to bite!
Xiao Yan looked at the two bickering little guys, a helpless smile on his face.
He had no way to deal with these two; one's true form was the great Medusa, Queen, and the other was his automatic cultivation device, who would go on strike if he got angry.
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's eyes held a fierce glint; for some reason, while he felt apprehension towards this green fellow, he also harbored an inexplicable hatred.
Just then, a light burst forth from the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's body, and his form rapidly grew and distorted, finally transforming into a seductive and beautiful woman.
"Me... Medusa, Queen!" Xiao Yan was startled and instinctively retreated two steps.
Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan with her charming eyes, then fixed her gaze on Qing Meng.
Qing Meng stared back at her with wide eyes, completely fearless.
"I say, can you control your damned alien flame? I really want to strangle this thing."
Xiao Yan smiled and shrugged: "I can't control it; I'm still counting on it to help me cultivate."
"Did you get what I wanted?" Medusa stared at Xiao Yan with eyes devoid of any emotion.
"I didn't fail you." Xiao Yan took out the Fusion Spirit Pill formula he had obtained from participating in this Alchemist competition.
"Give it to me."
Xiao Yan's lips curved into a smile, and he said politely but firmly:
"This is something I worked hard to get from the Alchemist competition. It's not appropriate for Your Majesty, Queen, to just take it with a word, is it?"
Medusa, Queen's pretty face turned cold: "At most, I just won't kill you."
"Heh heh." Xiao Yan let out a disdainful sneer.
Medusa, Queen's eyes held a few more hints of killing intent, she glanced at Qing Meng, and her pearly teeth parted slightly:
"Let's consider it exchanged for this thing. I haven't settled the score with you for sneaking into my Snake-People temple and stealing my alien flame."
Xiao Yan smiled: "How can you prove this is your alien flame? Will it answer you if you call its name?"
Qing Meng, at just the right moment, made a face at Medusa: "Nyah nyah nyah..."
Medusa's forehead twitched. She had long been annoyed by this fellow who had burned her half to death and often teased the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. The terrifying aura of a Half-Step Dou Ancestor surged from her body.
She consciously restrained the range of her aura, allowing it to fill only this room.
Xiao Yan's expression darkened, and he secretly contacted Yao Chen: "Teacher."
"Hmm, I know..." The master and disciple were constantly on guard, worried that this beautiful snake might suddenly attack.
However, Qing Meng didn't indulge her at all. After taking a gulp of accompanying purple crystal source, his chubby little short legs took a step forward, one hand on his hip, and his two-headed body appeared exceptionally imposing.
Medusa, Queen, Xiao Yan, and Yao Chen were all awestruck by him.
Because in his right hand, he was holding a three-colored Fire Lotus composed of Azure Lotus Core Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and purple fire.
The Bone Spirit Cold Flame was something he had gnawed off of Yao Chen's flame at some point.
He had incorporated a trace of its origin into his own body, then consumed the origin of his own Azure Lotus Core Flame to cultivate it.
So Xiao Yan actually already had two alien flames now, but Flame Mantra had not evolved. This was because Flame Mantra's evolution required not only the nature of the flame but also the absorption of the alien flame's massive energy.
Looking at the three-colored Fire Lotus in Qing Meng's hand, Xiao Yan's expression held a hint of terror. He could feel that if this thing exploded, he would definitely be annihilated.
Medusa's expression was exceptionally solemn, because the power Qing Meng could unleash depended on Xiao Yan, so this Fire Lotus was not fatal to her, but taking a hit from it would definitely not be pleasant.
The energy fluctuation of the three-colored Fire Lotus startled Tengshan.
He rushed to Xiao Yan's guest room in a panic.
On the way, Hai Bodong stopped him: "Don't worry, he's not that simple. He shouldn't be fighting, otherwise it wouldn't just be an energy fluctuation."
Seeing Hai Bodong so calm, Tengshan also calmed down.
...
In the room, realizing Medusa's apprehension towards the three-colored Fire Lotus, Xiao Yan reacted, put away the panic on his face, stood behind Qing Meng, crossed his arms, and laughed:
"Your Majesty, Queen, can we talk properly now?"
If needed, he could borrow Yao Chen's spirit power and have Qing Meng use it to unleash a Buddha Fury Fire Lotus powerful enough to pose a fatal threat to Medusa.
Looking at his somewhat smug expression, Medusa inexplicably thought of a phrase:
A dog acting fierce on its master's power!
She reined in her aura and killing intent, and asked: "How do you want to talk?"
"Presumably, even if you get the pill formula, it would be difficult for you to find a Six-Rank Alchemist who can refine it, right?" Xiao Yan smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Medusa, Queen's face darkened slightly. It was indeed difficult for their Snake-People to invite a Six-Rank Alchemist. In the past, the Six-Rank medicinal pill required for the intermediate secret technique she used when she was born almost emptied the Snake-People's family fortune.
Only for such major events concerning the succession of the throne would the Snake-People grit their teeth and invite a Six-Rank Alchemist.
"What do you propose?"
Xiao Yan pointed to himself with his index finger: "Isn't there an optimal choice right in front of you now?"
"You?"
"Yes, me. If I can't do it, I can still ask my teacher. But after I refine it for you, you'll have to protect me for three years," Xiao Yan said.
"Alright."
Medusa agreed very decisively. Perhaps feeling that her sincerity might be lacking, she added:
"Three years is too long, so you'll also be responsible for collecting the medicinal ingredients. If it weren't for my current state making it unsuitable for me to run around, I would absolutely not agree to such terms."
She made up her mind that once Xiao Yan helped her refine it, she would kill this scoundrel.
She, the dignified Medusa, Queen, was not to be trifled with!
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Understood."
Medusa, Queen's body gradually shrank, returning to her Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python form.
"Jee..."
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python looked at Xiao Yan with his adorable big eyes, his expression utterly innocent.
Xiao Yan sighed and gently stroked his small head with his index finger: "Little fellow, you gave me quite a scare."
"Meng..." Qing Meng swallowed the Fire Lotus in one gulp, reached out, and lifted the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python by its tail.
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Hiss!"
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python turned around angrily and bit Qing Meng's monocle.
Qing Meng was greatly alarmed and frantically made "Meng... Meng..." sounds.
Just then, Hai Bodong, who had arrived late, stood at the doorway and asked:
"Xiao Yan, are you alright? There was a very strong energy fluctuation coming from your room just now; it gave me quite a fright."
"Heh heh, I'm fine. I was experimenting with a new Dou Technique. I'm truly sorry for disturbing Elder Hai."
"No disturbance, no disturbance. Since you're fine, I'll take my leave now."
Hai Bodong's footsteps gradually faded, and Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
