"Wu Xi."
Hearing this name, Mo Yu's heart stirred, and he immediately thought that this person might be Snake Uncle's sister, the Medusa Queen of that generation among the Snake-People.
What Mo Yu didn't expect was that Snake Uncle actually had a familial relationship with Medusa Queen, though this relationship was separated by several generations, it genuinely existed.
"You are Wu Xi's grandchild? I didn't expect time to pass so quickly; the position of Queen has already been passed to you. How is your ancestral grandmother?"
Upon hearing Medusa Queen's identity, a hint of warmth emanated from Snake Uncle's cold pupils. He then looked at her and asked with some emotion.
"My ancestral grandmother… she is no longer here." Speaking of this, a trace of sorrow flashed in Medusa Queen's beautiful eyes, and her voice was a bit low.
"Oh…"
Upon hearing this, Snake Uncle's elegant and cold face instantly froze.
As a Dou Zun powerhouse, even if he had already come to terms with life and death, hearing the news of a loved one's passing still left him unsettled for a long time.
Mo Yu could understand this.
On the Fighting Qi Continent, powerhouses of different strengths also had different lifespans. A Dou Zun powerhouse like Snake Uncle had a lifespan of several hundred years, while a Dou Huang powerhouse only lived a few decades longer than an ordinary person.
Powerhouses were always lonely, not just on a psychological level, but also on a physical level due to the constant passing of loved ones around them.
Furthermore, while the Snake-People Queen was extremely glorious, she also bore countless responsibilities, so it was normal for her to pass away prematurely due to exhaustion.
"Never mind. Wu Xi dedicated her life to her clansmen; she truly lived even in death. I've heard about the current situation of the Snake-People. You've done very well to maintain the Snake-People's last prestige.
Wu Xi is my sister, and you are her grandchild. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandfather Wu Wan."
After a moment of silence, Snake Uncle's eyes returned to calm. Although the passing of a loved one was saddening for him, as a super powerhouse, he had long since come to terms with it.
For now, the emergence of a wise and mighty Medusa Queen among the Snake-People was enough to bring Snake Uncle comfort.
"Yes, Grandfather Wu Wan."
Medusa Queen hesitated for a moment, but finally uttered the address.
As proud as she was, if it were an ordinary person asking her to call them grandfather, she would probably have started a fight on the spot.
But the illusory middle-aged man before her was different. Firstly, Snake Uncle's seniority was undeniable, and secondly, the mature Bloodline of the Seven-Winged Amethyst Serpent was even stronger than her current one.
Therefore, even though Medusa Queen was incredibly proud, she did not feel ashamed to call the person in front of her 'Grandfather'; instead, she felt a faint sense of intimacy.
"Hehe, good child." Hearing Medusa Queen's address, a hint of warmth appeared on Snake Uncle's usually cold face.
"Since you've called me Grandfather, I'll give you a gift." Snake Uncle smiled slightly, then shifted his gaze to Mo Yu.
"Uh…" Seeing Snake Uncle's gaze shift to him, Mo Yu immediately felt a sense of unease. This elder giving a gift, surely he wouldn't make him bleed profusely.
But besides those few bottles of accompanying purple crystal source and the fire pearl, it seemed he had nothing that would attract Medusa Queen.
Seeing Mo Yu's wary expression, Snake Uncle's lips curved slightly into an arc, and he chuckled hoarsely, "Stop pretending, brat. I know your good stuff very well.
Give that bottle of accompanying purple crystal source to little Medusa; consider it a favor I owe you. Also, take out a few of those fire pearls, and…"
At this point, Snake Uncle looked at Medusa Queen and said thoughtfully, "I'm not very clear about the evolution process of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, but from your appearance, it seems your Soul hasn't completely mastered your body, right?"
Having her biggest flaw pointed out, Medusa Queen paused slightly, then slowly nodded.
Facing such a Senior of her clan, even if the other party had left the Snake-People for a hundred years, Medusa Queen still held respect for her.
"A rift between the Soul and the physical body is indeed a minor inconvenience, but since you've called me Grandfather, I will definitely help you resolve this issue," Snake Uncle said with a light chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Medusa Queen's beautiful eyes immediately lit up, and a hint of joy appeared on her pretty face.
"Then many thanks, Grandfather Wu Wan." Medusa Queen smiled gratefully and politely. It was hard to imagine that Medusa Queen, who was arrogant and cold in front of outsiders, would have such a refined and sensible side.
"Hehe, no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Mo Yu. He, not I, will help you complete this Fusion." Snake Uncle gently shook his head, pointing to Mo Yu beside him.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that Snake Uncle wouldn't let him off easily; he would definitely have to bleed profusely.
"Him?"
Hearing Snake Uncle's words, Medusa Queen was startled, then a look of confusion appeared on her pretty face.
To be able to fuse Soul and flesh, at least a wondrous item of Sixth-grade Medicinal Pill or higher was required, such as the Soul Fusion Pill, a Sixth-grade Medicinal Pill from this Alchemist Convention.
She had originally threatened Xiao Yan, insisting that he must win the championship of this competition, but that was just an attempt; she didn't truly intend to rely on a youth under twenty.
However, after just getting rid of one annoying youth, was she now to rely on another?
"You mustn't underestimate Mo Yu. Not to mention your method of fusing Soul and flesh, even my path to resurrection requires this boy to complete it.
Moreover, from the brief exchange just now, you must have realized how extraordinary this boy is. To master spatial power at the Great Dou Master stage is almost unprecedented on this Fighting Qi Continent. Now, do you still doubt my words?"
Seeing Medusa Queen's questioning expression, Snake Uncle shook his head with a profound meaning.
Indeed, upon hearing Snake Uncle's words, Medusa Queen's expression immediately changed. Although she didn't know Snake Uncle's exact strength, she knew that this Senior of her clan was at least a Dou Zong powerhouse, or even a Dou Zun powerhouse.
Helping such a powerhouse resurrect was countless times more difficult than finding a wondrous item that could fuse Soul and flesh. However, according to Snake Uncle, he had great confidence in this matter.
Thinking of this, Medusa Queen deeply gazed at Mo Yu. At this moment, she realized that this Human Race youth indeed possessed extraordinary qualities; that spatial power just now was something even she had not yet mastered.
"Then I'll trouble you." After a moment of thought, Medusa Queen suddenly bowed slightly to Mo Yu, exhaling fragrant Qi.
Compared to the unfamiliar and even disliked Xiao Yan, Mo Yu, with Snake Uncle's guarantee, was undoubtedly more reliable, so Medusa Queen chose to trust the latter.
"Mm." Mo Yu responded faintly, and could only nod with a wry smile.
Even without Medusa Queen's thanks, with Snake Uncle's words, this favor had to be done.
What's more, Medusa Queen possessed the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Bloodline; her future was limitless. To gain her favor was a very profitable matter.
And with Snake Uncle as an intermediary, Mo Yu was not in a hurry regarding this matter.
He remembered that in the original work, after Xiao Yan obtained the Pill Formula for the Soul Fusion Pill, he completely forgot about it, enraging Medusa Queen to the point where she wished she could kill Little Yanzi immediately.
Later, it was Old Yao who stepped in, coaxing, tricking, and half-threatening to suppress the matter.
Regarding this, Mo Yu shook his head. He had to admit that Little Yanzi's actions were indeed unkind.
Cai Lin had fought tooth and nail for him at Cloud Mist Sect, yet he turned around and forgot the task she entrusted him with. If not for what happened later, these two would probably not even be friends, let alone lovers.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu stroked his chin. He seemed to have stolen Little Yanzi's romantic luck again. Was this not a good thing to do?
However, thinking of Xun'er, who was still bitterly waiting for Little Yanzi, Mo Yu immediately cast aside that thought.
Xun'er owed him quite a favor, so this could also be considered indirectly helping this little girl…
As Mo Yu was thinking this, on the other side, Medusa Queen's delicate body suddenly slowly prostrated. Immediately, the illusory clothing wrapped around her body was compressed into an alluring curve. Then, intense light burst forth, and Medusa Queen's body slowly shrank, finally transforming into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python…
Gazing at the little snake that had transformed into a Devouring Sky Python, Mo Yu knew that Medusa Queen's Soul was gradually receding, and he was not surprised.
Stepping forward, Mo Yu looked at the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and slowly picked her up.
Unknowingly, he had gained another bodyguard comparable to a Dou Zong. Truly, life was full of uncertainties…
