There was no need for further threatening words; Chen Xiao understood the consequences of toying with the other party.
The Medusa Queen also knew what kind of trouble would arise if she were to lay a hand on Chen Xiao.
The five people outside might have average strength, but their identities were not to be underestimated.
The Mitre Family, rich enough to rival a nation.
The Nalan Family, backed by the imperial family.
And that Black Robe person, although deliberately concealing herself, a Dou Huang expert of such strength could be easily guessed by the Medusa Queen.
The Yun Lan Sect was also a colossal entity!
Even Feng Li and Yan Shi, whose identities were the most ordinary, were still among the top ten experts.
That Hai Bo Dong could invite so many experts to escort Chen Xiao showed how much he valued him.
Therefore, if she were to attack Chen Xiao, the new and old grudges combined would truly lead to an endless conflict, which would be detrimental to the Snake-People Race.
Furthermore, the misty background of the teacher Chen Xiao mentioned also needed to be taken into consideration.
For someone of the Medusa Queen's status, personal emotions were actually a rather luxurious thing.
Sensing that the other party's curiosity had been successfully piqued, Chen Xiao smiled slightly.
He said, "In the Central State continent, there is a Magical Beast race, the Nine Nether Earth Python Race. They are Snake-People. I know a lot about this race, and from that, I learned that the Snake-People Race has a secret technique. The rest, I believe, I don't need to say more."
"It is extremely difficult for Your Majesty the Queen to advance to Dou Zong through conventional means. I believe Your Majesty the Queen also doesn't want to remain at the Dou Huang realm for too long. After all, although the current situation of the Snake-People Race is relatively stable, surviving in the cracks between several countries is ultimately not a long-term solution."
"Therefore, I boldly propose to make a deal with Your Majesty the Queen using the whereabouts of a Heavenly Flame. At that time, you will obtain the Heavenly Flame and advance to Dou Zong with the help of the secret technique, and I will obtain the benefits promised by Hai Bo Dong. Isn't that a perfect outcome?"
"As for Hai Bo Dong, even if Your Majesty the Queen unseals him, he is merely a Dou Huang and cannot threaten Your Majesty the Queen in the slightest."
Listening to Chen Xiao's eloquent speech, the Medusa Queen smiled.
"You also said that this is just an ideal perfect outcome. Since you know my race's secret technique, you should know the dangers involved. Even if I obtain the Heavenly Flame, this King may not necessarily succeed in breaking through, and there might even be a risk of falling. If this King falls, how will the Snake-People Race survive?"
"Furthermore, since you came from Central State, why would you covet the small benefits promised by Hai Bo Dong? This doesn't make sense."
Chen Xiao was taken aback.
When did I say I came from Central State?
However, it wasn't a bad thing that the Medusa Queen had this idea.
Reacting quickly, Chen Xiao swiftly discarded the many drafts he had prepared, and a complete story emerged in his mind.
"I don't believe Your Majesty the Queen is someone who retreats in the face of difficulty. I have carefully inquired about the current situation of the Snake-People Race, and it is far better than before, which proves that Your Majesty the Queen is a king with foresight and great ambition."
"As for my identity, I don't have as great a background as Your Majesty the Queen imagines. Let me tell Your Majesty the Queen a story."
"In Central State, there was a young man whose family was once glorious, but unfortunately, it declined midway. This caused the attitudes of the forces that were previously on good terms with him to change drastically. Even the family with whom this young man had a marriage arranged from birth was like this, because his betrothed was a genius rarely seen in a thousand years, who condensed a Dou Qi Cyclone at the age of seven and became an Alchemist!"
"For a time, in everyone's eyes, this marriage contract had become a joke, and that woman felt deeply ashamed of it. Finally, she made up her mind and personally led people to the young man's family to annul the engagement."
"In the young man's eyes, this was a humiliation!"
"His talent was far inferior to the other party's, and his family was even more so. What could he do? He could only grit his teeth and accept, saying, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man for being poor!' And he made a three-year agreement with that proud daughter of heaven!"
"However, in his heart, he wasn't very confident. Fortunately, at this time, a mysterious old man appeared, took him as a disciple, and took him on distant travels for training, causing the young man's strength to rise steadily, and he finally saw the hope of avenging his shame."
"But, the three-year agreement has not yet arrived, and whether it will go as planned is still unknown. He dares not slack off in the slightest, nor is he willing to miss any opportunity to improve his strength!"
Adaptation is not random fabrication, and dramatization is not nonsense.
The story needs to be reasonable. Chen Xiao put himself into the template of Huo Huo and put the Cao Family demoness from Central State into the female lead template.
After all, after much thought, only this woman's talent was clearly superior.
For a time, Chen Xiao was in high spirits, telling a story that was hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
And the Medusa Queen on the throne was also shaken.
A Dou Zhe at the age of seven, and the talent of an Alchemist.
What kind of demoness is this?
She originally thought that Chen Xiao's Seven Star Da Dou Shi at the age of twelve was already astonishing, but she didn't expect that someone was even more formidable than him!
As for whether it was true or false, Medusa couldn't be sure.
But the world is vast and full of wonders. Central State is a land of outstanding people, and it is not impossible for such a demoness to appear.
The Medusa Queen gazed at the young man in the hall whose emotions were unstable and whose chest was slightly rising and falling.
"I didn't expect you to have such a story."
Chen Xiao didn't speak, just sighed lightly.
I was talking about a young man, not me. Please stop your imagination!
"Your story has some credibility, but this can only explain the reason for coveting Hai Bo Dong's reward. To make this King unseal him, it's not enough before I see the Heavenly Flame you mentioned, unless you can produce something that will make this King's heart move even more."
Chen Xiao spread his hands, "If I had something that could make even a Dou Huang expert's heart move, I wouldn't be troubled by that three-year agreement."
The Medusa Queen's lips curved slightly, and she smiled, "Then how about you give this King a promise? If this King perishes in the future, when the Snake-People Race is in danger, you will do your best to protect my race once."
This is possible, it's all baseless anyway.
Leaving aside whether the Medusa Queen would fall, even if that day came, he would only do his best.
Without much hesitation, Chen Xiao nodded in agreement.
"Alright! I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee it absolutely."
The Medusa Queen nodded slightly. Saying it this way made it sound more sincere.
"Just a casual mention, I don't believe that day will ever come."
The Medusa Queen slowly stood up, confident and composed.
"However, you are right about one thing. I am not someone who is content with the status quo. I accept this trade, but I need to personally find the Heavenly Flame you mentioned before I will lift the seal on Hai Bo Dong."
"If you accept this condition, our trade continues."
"Otherwise, go back where you came from!"
