After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Ling regained his composure while the people around him were still not able to react. He was not a country boy who had never seen the world. He would not make a fool of himself in public. He had no plans to be a grassroots hero for now. He had to have at least the strength of a Dou Zong before this beautiful snake would look up to him.
Queen Medusa, who was lying on the amethyst throne on the high platform, saw Yue Mei walking in with Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. Her slightly closed eyes slowly opened and she cast her gaze on Xiao Ling and Zi Yan behind Yue Mei.
Relying on her cultivation that has reached the peak of Dou Huang, when Xiao Ling did not use the "disguise" skill, she can easily detect Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's cultivation, a four-star Dou Wang and one at the peak of Dou Wang.
Medusa narrowed her narrow eyes, relying on years of intuition and rich combat experience, she realized that the two people in front of her were a little unusual. If they really fought, their strength would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.
Yue Mei stepped forward first, bowed respectfully to Queen Medusa, and then said, "Greetings, Her Majesty."
Queen Medusa withdrew her gaze from Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, and replied calmly, "Stand up." Then she pointed to a few chairs around her and said to them, "I roughly understand why you are here. let's sit down and talk about it first."
Hearing this, Yue Mei replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She twisted her snake tail and found a chair to sit on. Xiao Ling also held Zi Yan's hand and sat opposite Yue Mei.
After they sat down, Xiao Ling said to Medusa, "Hello, Queen Medusa, let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Ling, an elder from the Alchemy Department of Canaan Academy. I have come to the Snake People Tribe this time because I want to make a deal with them. I want to exchange a Sand Datura from you. This is a medicinal ingredient I need to refine a pill."
After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he hinted at Zi Yan. The tacit understanding they had gained from getting along for so many years made Zi Yan understand what Xiao Ling meant immediately. He wanted her to brag a few words on the side.
So she spoke to Medusa on the platform in a childish voice, "This snake tribe sister, Xiao Ling is a sixth-rank alchemist. As long as you are willing to take out the Sand Datura, you will definitely be able to get a satisfactory reward."
Medusa, who had been lying on her side just now, also slowly sat up. After hearing Xiao Ling's words, she had planned to make things difficult for them and then raise the value of Sand Datura. However, when she heard the little girl in purple speak and call her sister, she always felt an inexplicable comfort in her heart. Moreover, when she looked at the little girl in purple carefully, she always felt that she met her aesthetic standards. The more she looked at her, the cuter she found her. She had originally planned to bargain, and when she was about to speak, she swallowed the words back into her stomach before she could even utter a word.
Then she looked at the purple-dressed girl opposite with a curious look, and said in a somewhat curious tone: "Little guy, what's your name? You are a transformed monster, right?"
When Zi Yan, who was sitting aside, heard Queen Medusa asking her questions, she remembered what Xiao Ling had whispered in her ear before. "Zi Yan, Queen Medusa of the Snake Tribe is a rich woman. She is in charge of all the medicinal herbs in the Snake Tribe. You have to build a good relationship with her. When she is in a good mood, she will just take out a few herbs from the Snake Tribe's treasury for you. Are you still worried about not having herbs to eat in the future?"
Her mind couldn't help but think of the scene where she followed Medusa to the treasury of the snake people to select medicinal herbs. Her eyes were shining with gold, and she quickly replied: "My name is Zi Yan, and I'm already a fifth-level peak magic beast. Since I can remember, I have always been wandering alone in the Magic Beast Mountains. I have never met a member of the same tribe as me and lived alone. Later, I accidentally ate a Body Transformation Grass and became like this. Although I have become a human, I can't change back to my original appearance. I can only wait until I take the Body Transformation Pill or improve my cultivation to eliminate the side effects of the Body Transformation Grass before I can restore my magic beast body. Then I can figure out what race I am and find my family."
Medusa on the opposite side couldn't help but feel sorry for the little girl after listening to Zi Yan's self-introduction. After all, she still had many tribesmen, but this little girl had been traveling alone since she could remember, and she must have suffered a lot. Thinking of her deceased sister, Medusa became a little sad.
After staring at Zi Yan's face for a while, Medusa suddenly said, "Zi Yan, do you want to be my sister? As long as we are in the territory of the snake people, I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hua She'er, Yue Mei and Xiao Ling beside them were a little surprised.
Yue Mei and Hua She'er were thinking the same thing, "How is it possible that the cold-blooded and arrogant queen wants to be sisters with this little girl the first time she saw her?"
After being slightly surprised, Xiao Ling did not think about it any more. After all, Medusa and Zi Yan hit it off at first sight in the original novel and became good sisters. Now that they met, they might have fallen in love with each other, and Medusa said it out loud. But according to age, Zi Yan, who is more than 1,400 years old, should be much older than Medusa, who is more than 300 years old.
Hearing that Medusa wanted her to be her sister, Zi Yan thought for a moment and replied: "As long as you give me delicious herbs, I will be your sister, but only a friend's kind of sisters. I will not stay in the snake tribe."
Although it did not meet her expectations, Medusa still nodded and said to Zi Yan, "No problem. As long as you want, the door of the snake people is always open to you."
Seeing that the two of them were about to divert the topic, Xiao Ling winked at Zi Yan. Zi Yan, who was chatting with Medusa, noticed this and remembered that she still had some important business to do.
So she went forward and hugged Medusa's arm, and said in a baby voice: "Sister Medusa, Xiao Ling wants a Sand Datura, you can exchange a pair of plants with it, and you can ask him to refine pills for you. The quality of the pills he refines is much better than others."
After stroking Zi Yan's little head lovingly, Medusa turned her gaze to Xiao Ling and asked curiously, "Since you want to exchange for Sand Datura, I wonder what bargaining chips you can come up with. Sand Datura is a precious medicinal material for the Snake People. If one is missing, a Snake People with extraordinary potential will be unable to fuse with a snake beast that suits him. If the bargaining chips are not enough, I will not exchange with you even if Zi Yan helps you to speak well." Since Zi Yan praised Xiao Ling so much, Medusa became interested. She didn't know what kind of bargaining chips this sixth-grade alchemist could come up with. After all, she was the queen of the Snake People and had to strive for more benefits for the Snake People.
