Chapter 332: Taking a Disciple! Subduing Queen Medusa!
Chapter 332: Taking a Disciple! Subduing Queen Medusa!
"Senior, you mentioned earlier that there is a way for Her Majesty to evolve into the legendary Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python of the Snake-People Tribe. Is that true?" The Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe, still bearing noticeable burn marks, asked the refined man excitedly.
Hearing the Great Elder's question, the refined man couldn't help but inwardly give her a thumbs up. "Who would have thought that the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe would assist me multiple times in my plans."
At this moment, seeing Queen Medusa's curious eyes fixed on him, the refined man was pleased but remained composed as he said, "I do know some methods to evolve the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python into the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. However, with your current strength, it would be very difficult to succeed even if you had the method."
Pausing for a moment and observing the expression on Queen Medusa's face, he continued, "Let me be frank. The reason I saved you is because I value the talent of your Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and wish to take you as my disciple. In time, under my guidance, you will undoubtedly become one of the top experts on the continent. By then, the Snake-People Tribe will no longer be confined to this barren Tagore Desert."
The refined man knew very well how important the Snake-People Tribe was to Queen Medusa, so he emphasized their current living conditions at the end.
"Take me as a disciple!"
"So that's the reason he saved me?"
Queen Medusa's thoughts were extremely complex after hearing the refined man's words.
Although this explanation cleared up some of her doubts, it also left her feeling slightly disappointed.
"Your Majesty, it's a rare and great opportunity for Senior to take you as his disciple," the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe said excitedly, seeing Queen Medusa's silence.
Seeing how diligently the Great Elder was helping him, the refined man couldn't help but think that he should have given her an even better healing pill as a reward.
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. Quickly accept Senior's offer!" The Great Elder urged.
"Benefactor, I don't even know your name yet."
Amidst the Great Elder's urging, Queen Medusa hesitated. Instead of making a decision, she inquired about the refined man's identity.
Hearing her question, the refined man smiled faintly and slowly said, "My name is Gu Fengsheng. Those who know me usually call me Alchemy Venerate Gu Fengsheng."
"Alchemy Venerate Gu Fengsheng!"
Queen Medusa repeated the name silently in her heart, her eyes showing a determined look.
"I earnestly request Alchemy Venerate to take me as your disciple!"
Queen Medusa was aware of some human world customs regarding taking disciples. For a strong person like him to take a disciple, she couldn't expect him to beg her to join. At this moment, the usually stubborn Queen Medusa lowered her proud head, bent her knees, and knelt before Gu Fengsheng.
Seeing Queen Medusa kneeling before him, Gu Fengsheng was moved. He knew that once this woman decided on something, she would do her best to achieve it. Therefore, he didn't immediately agree.
"I earnestly request Alchemy Venerate to take me as your disciple!"
Seeing no reaction from Gu Fengsheng, Queen Medusa lowered her head and repeated her plea.
"I earnestly request Alchemy Venerate to take me as your disciple!"
After Queen Medusa knelt on the ground and spoke for the third time, Gu Fengsheng finally said slowly, "Since you are so determined to be my disciple, I, Gu Fengsheng, will accept you as my disciple today!"
Seeing that Gu Fengsheng had agreed to take her as his disciple, Queen Medusa's eyes filled with joy, and she smiled seductively, "Disciple greets Master!"
"Rise. From now on, remember not to perform the kneeling ceremony again," Gu Fengsheng said, lightly raising his hand to signal Queen Medusa to stand.
"Thank you, Master!"
After respectfully thanking him again, Queen Medusa slowly stood up.
At this moment, the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe beside her was already beaming with joy.
"This is wonderful! With Her Majesty associated with such a strong individual, the future of the Snake-People Tribe looks promising."
...
"Since you have become my disciple, you can no longer be called Queen. Today, I will give you a new name," Gu Fengsheng said with a smile.
"Please bestow a name, Master!"
Queen Medusa readily agreed to Gu Fengsheng's suggestion, feeling a bit of anticipation.
"How about Cai Lin?" Gu Fengsheng suggested softly.
Cai Lin!
As she silently repeated the name in her heart, Queen Medusa felt no resistance and joyfully said, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name. From now on, I will be called Cai Lin!"
"Cai'er, you must have heard the agreement between me and that white-robed man just now," Gu Fengsheng said calmly after taking Queen Medusa as his disciple.
"I understand, Master. I will immediately lead the army back," Cai Lin nodded.
"You should lead the Snake-People Tribe's troops back first. I will come to find you in a few days," Gu Fengsheng instructed.
After saying this, the space around Gu Fengsheng suddenly began to distort violently. Under the watchful eyes of Cai Lin and the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe, he disappeared from where he stood.
"Master has left!"
Watching Gu Fengsheng leave, Cai Lin murmured to herself, then turned to the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, with that white-robed man here, it is too dangerous. We must quickly recall all our people."
"Yes!"
The Great Elder nodded heavily. Then she and Cai Lin turned into streaks of light, shooting towards the Snake-People Tribe's camp outside Stone Desert City.
Before long, they caught up with the retreating Snake-People Tribe army.
"It's Her Majesty and the Great Elder!"
A cheer rose from the Snake-People Tribe army as they saw the two figures approach.
"Mebas, Yue Mei... quickly lead the army back to our territory!"
Upon reaching the four leaders of the Snake-People Tribe, Cai Lin gave the order to retreat without any explanation.
Hearing Queen Medusa's—now Cai Lin's—command, Mebas and the others were puzzled. Earlier, the Great Elder had only ordered a retreat of a hundred miles, but now Queen Medusa was ordering them to retreat deep into the desert. Were they no longer attacking the Jia Ma Empire?
Although confused, none of the Snake-People Tribe dared to oppose Queen Medusa's command.
After a brief pause, the four leaders respectfully responded, "As you command!"
