Floating in mid-air, Queen Medusa looked down at him, crimson lips curving into a tiny, devastating smile.
That single expression nearly sent Ye Chen's soul floating away.
"Human," she said, her voice icy-sweet and tinged with dangerous charm. "For someone who has only just stepped into the Dou King Realm, your speed is impressive."
When her gaze swept over Ye Chen's face, she froze for a heartbeat.
Not because he was handsome—but because…
He looked fifteen or sixteen, yet possessed the strength of a Dou King.
Impossible… unless he has some kind of youth-preserving technique?
Suspicion rippled through her eyes.
Ye Chen, recovering from the brief daze, ignored her earlier question and instead smiled:
"I've heard of the Queen's beauty for a long time. Seeing you today… it seems the rumors weren't exaggerated at all."
His open, appreciative gaze made the Queen's elegant brows knit slightly.
Many years had passed since anyone dared look at her like that.
"Human," her smile disappeared, her voice frostier. "Why did you run earlier?"
"Run?" Ye Chen blinked innocently. "I was simply on my way here. The real question is.....why were you following me?"
Queen Medusa let out a soft, mocking laugh.
"If that's true, then why did you just 'happen' to flee from the city the moment I arrived?"
"Perhaps," Ye Chen replied with a light grin, "because fate wished us to meet today.
Who knows? Maybe a beautiful story will be written about us in the future."
Her lips tightened.....clearly out of patience.
The temperature around her dropped sharply.
"Human," she said coldly, "a few days ago, a powerful strange flame aura surged in this region.
I trust you know something about it… Tell me. Where is the Heavenly Flame?"
So that's it.
Ye Chen immediately understood.
She came to Stone Desert City because she sensed the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame.
She probably even found the tunnel Yao Chen excavated, entering the underground magma world.
"Such a treasure?" Ye Chen said lazily. "How would someone like me know?"
Queen Medusa's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Then I hope your mouth remains this hard… after I break you."
Her body flashed like purple lightning.
Before Ye Chen could speak...
a ghostly figure appeared in front of him, sleeves fluttering, aura overwhelming.
Yao Chen.
A single casual strike from the soul-body dissolved Queen Medusa's crimson energy sphere instantly.
She froze mid-air, eyes widening.
"That aura… Dou Zong!? A soul body at that!? Who is this human boy!?"
Ye Chen didn't give her time to think.
"Yao Chen—capture her."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing the title Master, Queen Medusa's heart lurched.
A Dou Zong expert obeying… him!?
Yao Chen's palm ignited with bone-white flame.
Medusa's pupils constricted.
"Heavenly Flame!"
That alone made her expression twist from shock to something close to fear.
Before she could retreat, the white flame turned into a blazing spear shooting toward her. She pulled out a long sword, clashing with the attack.....only to be blasted backward several dozen meters.
She steadied herself, breath slightly chaotic.
This soul body is too strong… If this continues, I'll lose.
"Today's matter is a misunderstanding," Queen Medusa said coldly. "Let us stop here."
She turned.
Too late.
Two terrifying auras erupted behind Ye Chen.
A colossal Purple Demon Eagle.
A petite but deadly Ghost Shadow Flame Cat.
Both six-star magical beasts.
"Purple Demon Eagle, Lingyou.....capture her for me!" Ye Chen commanded.
Queen Medusa's face finally changed.
What kind of monster is this human!? Why are all these beings following him!?
The three surrounded her.
The Purple Demon Eagle released a gigantic purple beam of energy. Yao Chen sealed her escape route with a crescent-shaped white blade.
The Ghost Shadow Flame Cat ignited a wall of black fire beneath her.
No escape.
Medusa gritted her teeth and faced the beam head-on.
The collision erupted like two massive lasers clashing in mid-sky.
For a moment, she held on.....
Until Ye Chen's silver thunder blade shot upward from beneath her.
"—!!"
The silver crescent struck her body, exploding into a burst of violent lightning.
The purple beam swallowed her immediately afterward.
When the blinding light faded, a ten-meter-long amethyst serpent hovered in the sky.
Queen Medusa had released her true form.
Her violet eyes locked onto Ye Chen, filled with killing intent.....
and despair.
"Even with your true body," Ye Chen said calmly, "you're still no match for them."
"Even so… I will never allow myself to be captured alive!"
Her voice—now serpent-like yet still seductively feminine—echoed across the sky.
Ye Chen sighed.
"Heh… Queen Medusa, shouldn't you think about your people?"
Her serpent eyes trembled violently.
"What… do you mean?"
"You don't want the Serpentfolk Tribe to be destroyed because of your stubbornness, do you?"
The huge amethyst serpent froze in mid-air.
And her killing intent… wavered.
