"What did you say... impossible?"
"Why!?" Medusa's voice was filled with frustration and anxiety.
Shui Wuyai responded playfully, "Too late."
Medusa's eyes widened in confusion. "But wasn't that the deal you just offered?"
"That was the deal I gave you a moment ago," Shui Wuya said calmly, with an indifferent expression. "But now, that deal no longer works."
Medusa trembled with anger, trying to reason with him. "Didn't you want the Green Lotus Flame? I can give it to you!"
"Yes, I want it," Shui Wuya replied, still composed. "But now, I'm in no hurry."
His tone carried a hint of disdain and mockery, as if Medusa's threats meant nothing to him.
"Once you're burned to death, the Green Lotus Flame will still be mine," he added coldly, his words dripping with cruel sarcasm.
Medusa was furious, trembling with rage, but found herself speechless in the face of Shui Wuya's calm demeanor.
Shui Wuya glanced at her without any emotion.
"Bo Haidong, didn't you despise this woman?" Shui Wuya asked, his voice flat and devoid of feeling. "Once she's gone, wipe out the entire Snake-People tribe. Leave no one alive, so they won't come after us for revenge."
Bo Haidong's heart leaped with joy at the suggestion, for he had long harbored resentment against the Snake-People.
"Master, rest assured, I'll handle it!" Bo Haidong declared with pride, his eyes flashing with determination. "I will completely eliminate them, no mercy!"
Shui Wuyai smiled faintly, nodding in satisfaction. But before he could say more, an enraged roar shattered the silence.
"You despicable humans!" Medusa bellowed in fury, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "How dare you show me such disrespect!"
With that, she viciously hurled the Green Lotus Flame toward Shui Wuya, the fire surging with destructive power, seemingly intent on turning him to ashes.
"Didn't you want it? Take it! Let's see how you handle this!" Medusa's voice was laced with venomous malice, her gaze brimming with mockery and scorn.
"Watch out!"
Bo Haidong, alarmed, tried to rush forward to protect Shui Wuya.
But it was too late.
The Green Lotus Flame shot toward Shui Wuya with a roaring blaze, carrying an intense heat that seemed capable of incinerating everything in its path.
Yet, Shui Wuyai remained calm, reaching out a finger and casually flicking it as if brushing away a gentle breeze. Instantly, the Green Lotus Flame was effortlessly brought under his control.
"Thank you for your generosity. I'll be taking this Green Lotus Flame," Shui Wuya said, his voice serene and confident, treating the deadly fire as though it were a harmless toy.
In his hand, the Green Lotus Flame radiated a brilliant glow, its warmth now gentle and tame, as if it had become one with Shui Wuya, displaying a softness and harmony unlike anything seen before.
"What... how is this possible!?"
Medusa was utterly stunned, struggling to believe her eyes. The idea that someone could so easily control the Green Lotus Flame was beyond her comprehension.
Bo Haidong was equally shocked, staring wide-eyed. He had never seen anyone wield an otherworldly flame with such ease—this level of mastery was simply unbelievable.
Little Doctor Immortal and Yao Lao were also awestruck by what they witnessed. Though they had long admired Shui Wuya's power, it was only now that they truly grasped the extent of his abilities. His unmatched control and unwavering confidence stirred a deep sense of respect within them.
Medusa gazed at Shui Wuya, her eyes betraying a hint of fear. She could feel the overwhelming power emanating from him, a strength that no ordinary person could possess.
She realized that if she stayed any longer, her life would be in danger.
"The Green Lotus Flame is gone; there's no reason for me to stay."
Medusa's tone was filled with determination and menace as she said, "Consider yourselves lucky. I won't forget this. You, boy, wait for me—I'll be back."
With that, she turned and fled.
Bo Haidong, seeing this, immediately moved to chase after her, but Shui Wuya raised his hand, stopping him.
"Let her go for now," Shui Wuya's voice was steady and calm. "We have more important matters to attend to."
Although Bo Haidong was reluctant, he obeyed Shui Wuya's command and gave up on pursuing Medusa. He knew that Shui Wuyai's decisions always had a reason, and as his servant, all he could do was follow orders.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Shui Wuya directed a stream of mysterious energy toward the Green Lotus Flame, extracting a trace of its source power. Afterward, he released his possession, allowing Xiao Yan to regain control of his body.
Now free, Xiao Yan looked at the Green Lotus Flame in his hand, a look of fear crossing his face.
But Shui Wuyai, seeming to understand, reassured him. "Don't be afraid. I'll help you absorb it."
Xiao Yan nodded and closed his eyes, immersing himself in Shui Wuya's guidance.
A deep glint flashed in Shui Wuya's eyes. A mysterious energy flowed from his fingertips, like a thin silver thread, slowly reaching toward the Green Lotus Flame.
This energy seemed to possess an extraordinary allure, and the Green Lotus Flame, as if responding to a call, began to drift closer to Shui Wuya's palm.
The moment they touched, a faint but powerful connection was instantly established.
Shui Wuya closed his eyes, his consciousness fully immersed in the power of the Green Lotus Flame. His brows furrowed slightly, as if he were engaging in a silent, harmonious exchange with the flame.
He then began to guide the Green Lotus Flame's power, carefully channeling it into Xiao Yan's body.
Under Shui Wuya's guidance, Xiao Yan felt a surge of powerful, warm energy coursing through his body. His meridians seemed to ignite, with the energy flowing through them, gradually seeping into every part of his being.
Xiao Yan focused all his attention on the energy's transformation. His breathing became steady, and his mind unusually calm.
It felt as if he had established a strange resonance with this energy, merging with it completely.
After a period of careful guidance and absorption, the power of the Green Lotus Flame fully integrated into Xiao Yan's body.
He could sense that his cultivation had advanced significantly, and his Flame Mantra had evolved, reaching the rank of Earth Class Low Level.
At the same time, a tremendous power surged within him, making his aura deeper and stronger.
Xiao Yan felt the energy inside him becoming turbulent and wild, like an untamed beast unleashed, rushing forward with reckless abandon.
