107: Chapter 107 Which queen could resist such temptation?

"We have a Heavenly Flame here, so why go looking for another?"

Queen Medusa's delicate brows furrowed slightly, feeling that Gu Han was taking an unnecessary step.

"If you used the Green Lotus Core Flame to stimulate your bloodline and complete your transformation, how much confidence would you have in succeeding?" Gu Han sat cross-legged on the sand, answering her question with one of his own.

"A ten percent chance of success," Queen Medusa spoke truthfully, knowing very well that she could not lie in front of Gu Han.

The bloodline of the Snake-People Clan was cold by nature, and a wondrous object like a Heavenly Flame was a fatal nemesis to them.

Using a Heavenly Flame to stimulate the bloodline for transformation was a method of Nirvana, seeking life through death.

Being in such a barren place as the southwestern corner of the Northwest Continent, Medusa only had this one choice.

However, her companion spirit was a snake-shaped magical beast, the Purple Nether Flame Snake, which had an affinity for fire. Combined with the large amount of ice spirit cold spring she had collected in advance, her success rate had increased by ten percent.

The four old things in the clan each had their own schemes and weren't entirely of one mind with her. If she broke through, she could fully control the entire clan; if she failed, she would let those four old things sacrifice themselves for the tribe and cultivate a new king.

"Using the Green Lotus Core Flame, you are actually facing certain death," Gu Han analyzed seriously. "Even if you successfully complete the transformation by stimulating your bloodline with the Heavenly Flame, you will still be injured. At that point, you will still have to face the Lightning Tribulation."

"This Lightning Tribulation is brought about by the bloodline transformation and is also the tribulation for full human-shape transformation. Its effect is even greater than a normal Lightning Tribulation."

"My Queen, you are transforming into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, an ancient exotic beast. The Lightning Tribulation will be even greater in the future."

"If you succeed, you can take the opportunity to break through to Dou Zong and possess the potential of a Dou Zun. From then on, the world will be your oyster."

"But if you fail, you will lose everything. This is a massive gamble."

Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes, sizing Gu Han up and down. "You certainly know a lot about this Queen. Logically speaking, even Yun Shan couldn't possibly know this much."

It was not hard to hear from these words that Medusa had heard of Gu Han and knew of his background.

"I have my own fortuitous encounters." Gu Han's expression was very calm. "Even if the Old Sect Master were here, he wouldn't be able to control you, My Queen."

"Well said. You are more outstanding than him." Medusa gave a cold snort. "So outstanding that even if this Queen wanted to perish together with you, I couldn't do it."

"There's no need for My Queen to harbor such great hostility." Gu Han remained unmoved, continuing his persuasion... or rather, reasoning. "The Heavenly Flame I want you to accompany me to find is the Yin Yang Twin Flames."

"Yin Yang Twin Flames?" Medusa murmured softly, then said, "This Queen only knows that this Heavenly Flame's ranking is lower than the Green Lotus Core Flame. What is so extraordinary about it?"

"This is a Heavenly Flame born within the void of the universe. Its low ranking is only because its growth cycle is very long and its growth conditions are harsh, but its growth ceiling is very high." Gu Han patiently explained to Queen Medusa.

"The Yin Yang Twin Flames consist of two colors of fire, one black and one white, intertwined together, swimming like Yin and Yang fish."

"Yin and Yang are the laws of nature, the origin that nurtures all things in the world. The Yin Yang Twin Flames, born from this origin, are one of the flame forms manifested by the origin, filled with the dual powers of life and death."

"The Yang Fire saves people with endless vitality, while the Yin Fire kills people, leaving not even a bone behind."

"Solitary Yin does not grow, and solitary Yang does not give life. Because the Yin Yang Twin Flames are born in the void, it is difficult for them to obtain enough Yin and Yang energy to become stronger, and the difficulty of acquiring them is very high. Thus, their ranking is not high, and their reputation is not widespread."

"But if someone can master the Yin Yang Twin Flames and provide them with Yin and Yang energy, theoretically, there is no growth limit."

"Of course, these have nothing to do with you, My Queen."

"I believe that with your intelligence, My Queen, you already know what benefits this flame has for you."

Being praised and flattered by Gu Han so naturally again, and perhaps influenced by the Snake Seal, Queen Medusa's mood brightened slightly. She spoke, "This Queen is of the Snake-People Clan, with a cold bloodline corresponding to Yin."

"This Queen's companion snake-shaped soul is the Purple Nether Flame Snake, corresponding to Yang."

"These Yin Yang Twin Flames can perfectly stimulate this Queen's bloodline power and complete the transformation."

"And since the Yang Fire saves people with endless vitality, it can help this Queen heal, allowing me to complete the transformation almost perfectly and face the human-shape transformation and bloodline advancement Lightning Tribulation in peak condition."

"You are right. The Yin Yang Twin Flames are indeed the most suitable Heavenly Flame for this Queen to use as an external aid for breakthrough. The success rate can be increased by at least thirty percent."

Speaking to this point, a look of fervor emerged in Queen Medusa's eyes.

When one could break through more perfectly and safely, who would be willing to undergo a painful near-death experience?

"If the Yin Yang Twin Flames are controlled by me, the success rate can be increased by another twenty percent," Gu Han added.

"If you had come to this Queen directly with information about the Yin Yang Twin Flames, I would have been willing to cooperate with you and give you many benefits," Medusa said in a serious tone.

"Are you sure it wouldn't be to suppress me and make me obediently lead you to find the Yin Yang Twin Flames?" Gu Han asked back with a playful look in his eyes.

Queen Medusa: "..."

"Now that I have been planted with your mark, it is useless to say more." Medusa turned her head away and spoke with a cold face, "This Queen helping you find the Yin Yang Twin Flames is no problem, but will you really set this Queen free and erase the confinement?"

"My Queen." Gu Han patted his buttocks and stood up, controlling the Snake Seal with a thought. "If I forcibly demanded you to help me, could you refuse?"

In other words: I could force you to help me, yet I am willing to waste so much breath and tell you there are benefits to be gained. This is already proof of my sincerity. If you still don't believe me, then there's nothing more to say.

Ultimately, you, Medusa, cannot refuse anything when facing me.

"Hehe." A smile suddenly bloomed on Medusa's glamorous and exquisite face. Her figure instantly flashed thirty meters away, and she spoke indifferently, "You aren't wrong, but this Queen indeed can refuse."

"That mark of yours is placed on the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake. Although it has a great impact on this Queen, it cannot make me obey you completely."

"The further I am from you, the lower your control over this Queen becomes."

"Although this Queen cannot kill you, I can manage to not listen to you."

"Your mark also seems capable of erasing the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake. This could indeed heavily injure this Queen, but it cannot obliterate me."

"If this Queen doesn't die, the one who dies will be you. Little fellow, are you willing to gamble?"

Gu Han: "..."

I knew this was the case, otherwise I wouldn't have chatted with you so much.

"A miscalculation, to actually be affected by the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake." Gu Han frowned somewhat out of character.

Seeing his expression, Queen Medusa's mood instantly became joyful. Under the subtle influence of a certain power, she found Gu Han extremely pleasing to the eye and trustworthy. She bloomed an exquisite smile, "Your attitude makes this Queen very satisfied."

"The Yin Yang Twin Flames also move this Queen, so I have decided to cooperate with you."

"But after this Queen helps you obtain the Yin Yang Twin Flames, you must erase that mark."

"Otherwise, before breaking through, this Queen will choose to detonate the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake. Even if I must suffer a massive loss of vitality and have my foundation destroyed, never being able to break through to Dou Zong in this lifetime, I will still kill you."

Gu Han suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. "Rest assured, My Queen. My goal is only the Yin Yang Twin Flames. I only acted against you to ensure my safety. I am not so stupid as to mortally offend a Peak Dou Huang and a future Dou Zong."

Queen Medusa nodded in satisfaction.

The Yin Yang Twin Flames were truly enticing.

How could she refuse such a temptation?

As for removing the mark, she presumed Gu Han wouldn't dare to lie to her.

Even if he were lying, she could only play along for now and look for an opportunity later.

"I'd better find a way to separate the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake." A light flashed in Medusa's purple eyes. "This kid definitely doesn't know the secret techniques of my Snake-People Clan."

At this time, Gu Han glanced at today's four opportunity guides.

"To think there's such a good thing."
