"Why?" Queen Medusa couldn't help but ask.
"A single drop of blood caused you excruciating pain, have you forgotten?"
Jiang Cheng's lips curled into a smile. "If you don't mind, you can try biting me again."
With that, Jiang Cheng fearlessly offered his neck. Even if Medusa had such an idea, she probably couldn't break his skin.
His body was as hard as black iron; let alone a bite, even if Queen Medusa unleashed her full power, she couldn't harm him in the slightest.
This was the difference between a Dou Sheng and a half-step Dou Zong.
Medusa pursed her lips, but still controlled her desires. As the saying goes, snakes are inherently lustful. As a powerful member of the snake-human race, she naturally possessed snake-human blood.
But as a queen, she couldn't accept kissing a man's neck...
especially this lecherous man!
Jiang Cheng's handsome appearance surpassed all other men, especially his captivating eyes, which made even young girls want to throw themselves into his arms.
Even Queen Medusa had never seen such a handsome boy before.
Jiang Cheng shrugged and looked at her, saying,
"The azure lotus platform was formed by the condensation of earth fire over a thousand years. Sitting on it while cultivating will not increase your cultivation speed tenfold, but it will certainly increase it three or fourfold."
"Take it back. You can sit on it every day, and your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds."
Queen Medusa naturally knew this, but she had left in a hurry, otherwise such a good thing would not have been left here.
Not only that, the lotus seeds inside the lotus platform, these earth fire lotus seeds, known as the essence of fire spirits, only produce one seed every hundred years. Even a Dou Huang powerhouse would risk their life to exchange for them.
Jiang Cheng waved his right hand, and the azure lotus platform and earth fire lotus seeds flew uncontrollably to his front, trembling slightly at the same time.
"Here, these few earth core lotus seeds are for you." Jiang Cheng placed two earth core lotus seeds in Medusa's hand, and accepted the rest.
Perhaps they would be useful when refining pills in the future.
Medusa looked at the two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds in her hands, a bitter feeling welling up inside her. She hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to be so generous as to give her two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds; this clearly exceeded her expectations of him.
After obtaining what he wanted, Jiang Cheng picked up Queen Medusa again and left the horrifying sea of lava.
Without absolute strength or exceptional rare treasures, reaching this place was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Even Queen Medusa, a peak Dou Huang, had endured immense suffering to obtain her Strange Fire; one could imagine how difficult it was to acquire one.
Back up, Jiang Cheng put down Queen Medusa from his arms and teased, "You should eat more; you're too light."
Queen Medusa blushed and crossed her arms, saying, "I'm not here for you to hold all the time. You want to order me around? Why don't you ask me to have your child?"
"If Your Majesty is willing, I would naturally be more than happy to oblige."
Jiang Cheng laughed heartily, but his expression quickly froze as he turned to look at the several figures in the desert, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"I didn't expect them to be targeting us." Jiang Cheng shrugged. "Never mind, they haven't attacked us, so we have no reason to. Let's go; it's about time to go back."
Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes and said, "You're still the same as before, a detached scholar. If it were me, these vermin would have been dead long ago."

"Hehe, a beauty indeed, unforgettable upon sight, a day without seeing her, my longing is maddening." Jiang Cheng lightly tapped his folding fan. "No achievement surpasses the carefree spirit of a scholar. Let's go."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, three sharp arrows shot forth, piercing the ground halfway. Their power was so great that anyone below the level of a Dou Shi would be pierced through.
Jiang Cheng calmly waved his fan, and the arrows, without warning, returned, directly piercing through the very people who had just attacked.
Queen Medusa smiled, her eyebrows slightly raised: "What, now you're making your move?"
"Hehe, I'm not one to act rashly, but since they attacked first, then let's just kill them."
Jiang Cheng maintained a "you don't attack, I don't attack" attitude, treating others with courtesy. Over the years, he had made many close friends through his carefree nature, but there were still those who liked to challenge his bottom line here.
A bamboo flute appeared in Jiang Cheng's hand without his noticing. He slowly raised it, brought it to his lips, and gently blew. Instantly, a strange, phoenix-like melody burst forth from the flute.
The sharp sound lingered around Stone Desert City, refusing to fade.
Queen Medusa wanted to ask a question, but then discovered that the group of mercenaries who had charged at them had vanished into ashes in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
He had simply burned them to ashes.
Enjoying a one-stop service.
They could finally rest in peace.
The melodious flute music gradually ceased. The enemy had been completely wiped out. Judging from their attire, they were likely members of the Sand Mercenary Group. After eliminating even their leader, Jiang Cheng elegantly sheathed his bamboo flute.
"Hehe, music is never just a tool to please others. Every weapon has its characteristics. For example, a sword might be a killing weapon in your hands, but in the hands of a useful person, it becomes a companion."
Jiang Cheng placed one hand behind his back, displaying impeccable manners.
"I will not offend others unless they offend me," this is the path Jiang Cheng should follow.
"The fighting technique you cultivate is a secret art of the Snake-People clan. However, you have been too bloodthirsty over the years; this is bad for your health. You should not learn too much."
With that, Jiang Cheng took out a fighting technique manual and handed it to Queen Medusa. "This is a mid-level Earth-rank fighting technique called Azure Lotus Sword Dance. Its movements are as beautiful as a blooming blue lotus."
"Focusing on gentleness and minimizing bloodshed is beneficial to you."
Queen Medusa took the manual and murmured, "Azure Lotus Sword Dance... why have I never heard of this fighting technique?"
"That's natural."
Jiang Cheng stepped forward and said, "This is a technique I personally researched. It emphasizes gentleness and uses the sword as a secondary element. When mastered, it can split mountains and seas with a single strike. However, combined with your movements, it will be twice as effective."
Hearing this, Medusa was once again amazed by Jiang Cheng's talent. This was a fighting technique he had created himself! Earth-rank techniques are not something ordinary people can cultivate.
Besides, there are probably very few people in the world who can create a mid-level Earth-rank combat skill.
"Practice diligently in the future, become an unparalleled master, and lead the Snake-People race to a true tomorrow."
Jiang Cheng walked away step by step, leaving Medusa standing alone, lost in thought, until Jiang Cheng's voice rang out, snapping her out of her daze.
