The voice from outside sounded like Xiao Mei calling for him.
With the soul power of Xiao Chong and Elder Yao, they naturally heard it.
Instantly, a lecherous smile appeared on Elder Yao face.
"Xiao Chong, it seems that after just half a month away, you've already attracted a trail of romantic debts coming to find you."
"With your excellence, it's no wonder girls are so fond of you."
Xiao Chong ignored this old man who didn't act his age. In the original story, half of the reason Xiao Yan could be so shameless was due to Elder Yao, and the other half was Elder Yao.
"I'll go handle the matter outside. If Xiao Yan swallows the heavenly flame later, please keep an eye on him, Elder Yao."
"Don't worry, he's my disciple after all."
Seeing Elder Yao nod, Xiao Chong left the medicinal herb space at the back mountain of the Xiao family with peace of mind.
At the foot of the back mountain, Xiao Mei, seeing Xiao Chong flying out, showed a hint of shy blush on her face, but quickly hid it.
"Brother Xiao Chong, you're here. A woman with immense strength and presence has come to the main hall of the Xiao family, asking to see you."
"Can you tell me what she looks like?"
After all, when it came to women with a strong presence, Xiao Chong couldn't recall having provoked such a woman.
Xiao Mei nodded, "She's a snake-woman."
"A snake-woman?" Oh, I understand now.
Xiao Chong suddenly remembered that he had taken the Green Lotus Core Flame, which was essentially stealing Queen Medusa opportunity.
He had also told Yue Mei that if their queen had any problem with it, she should come and find him herself.
He didnt expect Queen Medusa to come so quickly.
Although with his strength, he could easily drive her away, but in the future... Xiao Chong planned to recruit high-grade alchemists, and he might not always be available to oversee them.
The current strength of the Xiao family was still too weak. If he happened to be away, they might not be able to suppress those arrogant alchemists.
At this time, the assistance of Medusa came at a very opportune moment.
Thinking this, Xiao Chong nodded. "Alright, take me to see her."
"Okay, Brother Xiao Chong, this way."
...
In the main hall of the Xiao family.
The enchanting snake-woman Medusa, maintaining her serpentine form, sat coldly on a chair, her alluring lips occasionally emitting a dissatisfied hum.
As a queen, she had never encountered a situation where she needed to personally visit someone and wait for them.
But she knew that in this small family, which she considered insignificant, there was a genuine Dou Zun. Moreover, the great battle at Yellow Stone Fortress had naturally reached Queen Medusa ears.
A single person repelling the full force of a nation, killing two Dou Zongs in succession—such strength, even for someone as proud as her, required her to remain as calm as possible.
However, she had already tried her best to suppress her aura, but even so, her cold and irresistibly alluring charm still emanated in waves.
Even some of the elder elders present, looking at her excessively seductive serpentine waist, couldn't claim to keep their eyes from wandering.
As for the younger children? They had already been driven out to prevent any mischievous brats from causing trouble with their loose tongues.
Only Xun'er was hiding in the shadows, watching with bright, golden-glowing eyes, seemingly curious. Finally, after a moment, Xiao Chong figure walked into the main hall, first saluting the Second Elder who was receiving the guests.
"Elders, you've worked hard. You may leave now I'll take over from here."
"Ah, then we'll leave it to you, Nephew Xiao Chong."
The Second Elder quickly responded with a flushed face, clasping his fists, and then hurriedly left with a red face.
After watching Xiao Chong dismiss the others, Queen Medusa snorted and looked at Xiao Chong.
"So, you're Xiao Chong from the Xiao family? Indeed, you are quite young."
"Your talent and influence even make me doubt whether you truly should have been born in such a relatively small country like the Jia Ma Empire."
"Heh, you flatter me. One cannot choose their birth, but one can shape their own future."
Xiao Chong also took a look at the stunningly beautiful Snake Queen before him and then sat down on another chair beside her.
"I wonder, what brings the Queen of the Desert Snake People to such a small city as Wutan to seek me out? Is there something you need?"
Hearing this, Queen Medusa clicked her tongue.
"You showed off your might in front of my subordinates, then said to come to you for anything, and now you're pretending not to know, making me take the initiative? If I weren't outmatched, I would at least whip my snake tail at your overly youthful face!"
However, Queen Medusa still patiently said,
"That heavenly flame... it was an opportunity for a breakthrough that I searched for a long time to find."
"You took away the opportunity I've been searching for for several years, almost decades. Even if you are strong, you..."
"You, You ..... owe me a reasonable explanation!"
It was clear that under the terrifying intimidation of Xiao Chong strength,
Even the domineering Queen Medusa, though her words remained firm, her tone had softened somewhat.
Moreover, she didn't want to come in the first place. Currently, her strength was only at the peak of the Dou Huang level, and with her snake-like appearance and enchanting beauty, coming out like this was too easily noticed.
But there was no choice she had been stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang level for so many years, and even knowing the path ahead was fraught with peril, she chose to come here.
However, there was one piece of news that slightly eased Queen Medusa's mind about coming here.
That was what Yue Mei had told her earlier, that Xiao Chong had a half-snake girl as his maid.
If it were a snake maid, Queen Medusa would definitely consider Xiao Chong a shameless scoundrel and would never come here.
But if it were a half-snake girl, it would convey a message to Queen Medusa, telling her that Xiao Chong had little interest in the so-called human-snake enmity of the Jia Ma Empire, treating them all equally.
If she didn't considered this aspect, Queen Medusa would have hesitated for a long time before coming here, especially after knowing Xiao Chong strength.
"Queen Medusa, rare treasures are destined for those who are fated to possess them, and this fate refers to both strength and luck."
"You have indeed been searching for many years, but I managed to get my hands on it before you."
Noticing the change in Medusa's expression, Xiao Chong said with ease.
"You want my heavenly flame? It's not that I can't give it to you."
"However, I have a condition."
