"But she's a woman…" Xiao Meng responded with a giggle to Xiao Yan's defense.
"She's a woman who kills without batting an eye! If I didn't have a few trump cards, I would have lost my life just now!" Xiao Yan widened his eyes, looking at Xiao Meng with disbelief.
Where did the obedient Xiao Meng who always protected me go? The current Xiao Meng is simply a little devil! Always fanning the flames!
"The Sect Master of Yunlan Sect is also very powerful. Since Young Master Xiao Yan can make her fall in love with you, then it's very reasonable to capture Queen Medusa's heart as well. As expected of Young Master Xiao Yan." Xiao Meng sighed.
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, feeling as if he was heading towards a crematorium with Xiao Meng's constant pressure!
"Oh, Queen Medusa seemed a bit off just now. Why do I feel like Young Master Xiao Yan, you were bullying her?"
Xiao Yan: "…"
Seeing Xiao Yan's helpless expression, Xun Er chuckled, "Alright, I believe you, Brother Xiao Yan… Medusa is indeed different from Yun Yun. She's not someone to be trifled with."
Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Brother Xiao Yan, since you're fine, I won't disturb you… If Medusa comes looking for trouble again, you wouldn't mind if I killed her, right?" Golden flames flickered in Xun Er's eyes.
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
There was nothing between him and Medusa now; it was more about exploiting and confrontation. Medusa's killing intent towards him just now was not fake.
He just felt a bit sorry for the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. After all, they got along quite well, but the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was Medusa's subordinate soul and would eventually be merged by her.
Medusa's figure appeared outside the pavilion. She restrained her aura, glanced back at Xiao Yan's room, and quickly ran into the distance.
She did not travel by flying. Jia Nan Academy was full of hidden masters, and attracting the attention of powerful individuals could easily lead to complications.
As she passed a smaller building one floor lower, Medusa glimpsed a young man wearing a monocle over his right eye by the window, smiling at her.
Her eyes narrowed slightly. After a second look, she ignored him and continued running out of the courtyard.
Zhou Mingrui gazed at the direction Medusa disappeared, his eyes deep.
After leaving the basin where Jia Nan Academy was located, Medusa could finally let loose a bit, stepping through the air and quickly flying towards the vast mountains at a low altitude.
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's consciousness became increasingly active, struggling fiercely with her for control of the body.
Medusa's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said,
"Damn it, stop thinking about your master. It's not like you can't live without him. Hand over your body to this King, and I'll give you some time every day to come out and play."
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's resistance weakened a bit, but it was still somewhat unwilling.
"In the future, whatever delicious food there is, you'll be responsible for coming out to eat it."
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python no longer resisted, reaching an agreement with Medusa.
Seeing this, Medusa finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without this hindrance, she could return to the Snake-People Empire and resume her role as the Snake-People Queen.
…
After a period of commotion, the training room where Xiao Yan was located finally returned to peace.
He sighed, "What kind of situation is this? This time, I'm truly wronged… Xun Er seems to be genuinely angry with me."
Yao Chen's ethereal soul body emerged. He said with a chuckle,
"Young people are so energetic, tsk, what a pity… Originally, I thought that Medusa was quite good. Kidnapping her to be a disciple's wife would be very suitable… It is said that once Queen Medusa falls in love with someone, she will remain devoted until death."
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, "Instead of thinking about these things, why don't you think about finding me a few more mistresses after you revive? Azure Lotus Core Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Sea Heart Flame… three types of Heavenly Flames, they're all gathered!" Yao Chen immediately fell silent, his eyes revealing a hint of bewilderment and confusion. Every time this was brought up, he always felt an emptiness in his heart, as if a piece was missing.
He stopped teasing Xiao Yan and quietly returned to the bone flame ring.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but said nothing, refocusing his attention on the Sea Heart Flame.
He crushed the crystal containing the Sea Heart Flame, and a wave of high temperature surged forth. Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of flowing seawater.
Xiao Yan had already prepared to deal with a violent Heavenly Flame, but he found this Sea Heart Flame to be unusually docile, almost unlike a Heavenly Flame.
"Teacher, is this really a Heavenly Flame? Didn't you say before that Heavenly Flames are the most violent energies between heaven and earth, but this thing…"
Yao Chen was also a bit strange, muttering, "Perhaps there are exceptions. Different Heavenly Flames have different properties, and they should also have their own 'personalities.'
"Moreover, Xiao Meng's Uncle Zhou must have specially processed this Heavenly Flame. All the outer flame power has been stripped away, leaving only this core flame in front of us.
"Hurry up, its power is gradually recovering. Now is the easiest time to subdue it."
Xiao Yan gazed at the Sea Heart Flame. After evaluating the energy contained within this core flame, he suddenly said,
"Teacher, I feel that I might not need to consume the Earth Spirit Pill to refine it.
"We are still missing quite a few medicinal ingredients for the Earth Spirit Pill we collected. I want to save the one Xiao Meng gave me and use it to subdue the Heavenly Flame in Jia Nan Academy."
Yao Chen's eyes showed contemplation. He hesitated for a moment and said, "As you wish… If you think you can, then give it a try. I'll protect you. If you can't hold on, I'll have you take the Earth Spirit Pill."
After making his decision, Xiao Yan immediately put it into practice.
Pale green flames swirled around him, providing protection.
Xiao Yan cautiously reached out and grasped the core flame of the Sea Heart Flame.
At that instant, the Sea Heart Flame began to struggle, constantly flickering, attempting to counterattack.
But it was only a fragile core flame, without vast flame energy it could mobilize, so its resistance was very weak.
"Meng ya…" Qing Meng stepped forward, assisting Xiao Yan in suppressing the Sea Heart Flame. After its resistance weakened further, it dragged it back into Xiao Yan's meridians.
Xiao Yan was first stunned. This… was too easy, wasn't it?
He didn't rejoice for long before feeling a sharp pain in his meridians.
The high-temperature nature of the Sea Heart Flame remained unchanged. Before it was completely refined, even without resistance, its inherent power would still cause him harm.
Xiao Yan immediately calmed himself, focusing on circulating his cultivation technique, smoothly completing one cycle after another, imprinting his mark on the Sea Heart Flame, and completing the preliminary refinement.
After gaining initial control of the Sea Heart Flame, he officially began to devour it using Flame Mantra.
With the experience of devouring the Azure Lotus Core Flame for the first time, and with the assistance of the Fire Spirit Qing Meng, this refinement was much smoother than the first. The entire process was thrilling but without real danger. Aside from a few times when the flames went wild and almost burned his hair again, overall, it was very smooth.
Finishing his cultivation, a hint of joy appeared on Xiao Yan's face. Flame Mantra had evolved again! And he had successfully obtained three types of Heavenly Flames. He only needed a suitable corpse, plus the "Bone Growth and Blood Fusion Pill," to revive his teacher!
Seeing that the most difficult and troublesome element had been resolved, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel a bit excited.
The remaining two items, compared to the three Heavenly Flames, were not too difficult! As of today, he finally saw hope for his revival.
"Meng…" Qing Meng pinched the monocle over his right eye, a smile curving his lips.
