. Holding an auction of this magnitude is incredibly difficult,
especially for the first time...
Mo Tang couldn't possibly provide the entire auction's items alone, could he? Even with Yao Lao's collection, it wouldn't be enough.
The auction was scheduled for three months from now, and during those three months, Mo Tang would need to mobilize all his connections to build a reputation for his auction.
But that alone wasn't enough...
While the Jiama Empire wasn't a chaotic place like the Black Horn Territory, precious treasures like Earth-level techniques and sixth-grade elixir recipes were bound to attract ulterior motives.
If he relied solely on his Dou Wang status, there was a chance some daring individual would simply seize them on the spot...
In that case, the Mo Alliance wouldn't be gaining fame, but rather being humiliated.
Previously, the Yunlan Sect, with its prestige, could intimidate many.
But now that the Yunlan Sect was destroyed, and Yun Yun was still seriously injured, he needed to find another powerful individual with sufficient influence...
After much deliberation, he seemed to have only one option.
He returned to his room and pulled his little snake from his chest...
Still digesting the energy from the Earth Core Fire Lotus Seed, Sky-Swallowing Python Xiao Qi appeared languid, letting Mo Tang place her on the table like a piece of noodle.
He reached out his index finger and stroked the top of the little creature's head, making the sounds of teasing a puppy.
Xiao Qi's head rested on the table, its purple eyes rolling in a humane way at its unscrupulous owner. Then, shaking its head, it pushed Mo Tang's finger away, making a disgruntled "nah" sound.
Mo Tang chuckled.
Whenever he saw Xiao Qi in this state, he couldn't help but want to tease her, just like any cat owner.
And, imagining his feline transformed into a stunningly beautiful, alluring, and enchanting beast-eared girl, didn't he feel even more excited?
"Xiao Qi, let's have our queen come out," Mo Tang said with a smile, stroking the Sky-Swallowing Python's head.
After hearing Mo Tang's words, the previously lazily Swallowing Sky Python raised its head in confusion. Seeing Mo Tang's affirmative look, it pondered for a moment before agreeing.
The innocent purple eyes vanished, replaced by a cold, seductive gaze...
In a burst of purple light, an enchanting figure in a purple dress appeared on the table.
Even though he was prepared, Mo Tang was still captivated by the beauty before him, and was stunned for several seconds.
"Is this considered a feast for the eyes?"
Perhaps seeing through Mo Tang's thoughts, Medusa's lithe body deliberately leaned forward on the table, slightly raised her head, and looked at him with an extremely seductive posture and a captivating gaze.
"Stop, stop, stop! Can we communicate more normally?"
Mo Tang felt his concentration dwindling.
"Ha! What, you've figured it out? You want to agree to my request?"
She sneered, expressing her disdain for Mo Tang's pretentiousness. Then, twisting her waist, she rested her curvaceous figure on the seat, her chin resting on her left hand, her voice cold.
Mo Tang, unfazed by her attitude, waved his hand, saying, "Well, let's talk about this later..."
"Then why did you call me out this time?" Queen Medusa's expression turned visibly cold.
Mo Tang rolled his eyes...
what a practical woman!
"Well, let's make a deal, how about that?"
Queen Medusa remained expressionless, unresponsive to Mo Tang's words.
Apart from that mysterious gray aura, nothing about this man interested her.
Tsk...
Mo Tang tapped his aching head, feeling frustrated by her apparent indifference.
"I have a way to accelerate the fusion of your soul with the Sky-Swallowing Python's. Once the transformation is complete, I can completely eliminate its influence on you, allowing you to return to being a true Queen Medusa..."
Even though she had already prepared herself to ignore any of Mo Tang's sweet talk, her heart still skipped a beat when he spoke.
"Oh, you? Why would you expect me to believe you?"
Queen Medusa said with a sneer, her narrow, beautiful eyes narrowed into a lazy arc.
Mo Tang naturally wouldn't waste his time on her; he'd stick to facts.
With a wave of his hand, a shadow shot out from his sleeves and landed on the table in front of Queen Medusa.
Seeing Mo Tang's confident look, Queen Medusa couldn't help but look up at the object.
Upon closer inspection, she saw it was a scroll...
"Elixir recipe?" Queen Medusa's brows furrowed slightly.
Slowly opening the scroll, the ancient handwriting caught her eye...
As expected, it was indeed an elixir recipe. The elixir that was refined was exactly for the symptoms of Medusa's dual soul in one body.
Mo Tang said calmly, "This is the sixth-grade elixir, the Soul-Melting Pill. I'm sure you've seen its effectiveness.
If you agree to the deal, I can help you gather the herbs and find a sixth-grade alchemist to refine it. How's that?"
Looking at the recipe, Queen Medusa was honestly tempted...
but being "coerced" by this fellow made our proud queen very unhappy.
With a gloomy expression, she folded the scroll and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, what is your request?"
Mo Tang chuckled, raised a finger, and said, "Don't worry, it's just a simple request."
"I'm going to hold an unprecedented auction in Yancheng soon. Many powerful figures will surely attend.
I need you to help me maintain order and deter those with evil intentions. If necessary, we can make an example of you..."
Queen Medusa frowned slightly.
It wasn't that Mo Tang's request was excessive, but rather that it was too simple!
"Are you sure this is the only request?"
"Yes, this is the only request..." Mo Tang said with certainty.
In fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that you will definitely be my person in the future anyway, so why not give you a little advantage now?
Moreover, the effect of this Soul Melting Pill is very different from the Soul Melting Pill and the Soul Restoring Pill in the original novel...
The former is to truly fuse the two souls together. Although with the strength of Queen Medusa, Xiao Qi's soul will definitely not be able to dominate at that time, it will still have a very big impact on Queen Medusa at that time...
This is actually a bomb he secretly buried for the queen.
Mo Tang doesn't mind Queen Medusa becoming powerful, and the more powerful the better, but the premise is that the other party has to be his own person...!
