Chapter 253: Refining the Fierce Spirit
On their way to the Imperial City, Xiao Ming noticed dusa flying next to Zi Yan and froze in midair. Seeing Xiao Ming's reaction, Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan also stopped.
"What are you doing following us? Do you really think I won't kill you?" Xiao Ming asked.
Zi Yan looked confused and replied, "Xiao Ming, Sister dusa is a good person. She has been good to . Why do you want to kill her?"
Xiao Ming almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.
Only Zi Yan could say that dusa was a good person. dusa was a fearso figure in the surrounding empires, and anyone on the border trembled upon hearing her na. Even Hai Bodong, a Dou Emperor, fled faster than a rabbit after seeing dusa.
However, it was also true that dusa had been really good to Zi Yan, feeding her, and even playing with her.
Seeing Zi Yan's confusion, Xiao Ming thought it would be better to explain the situation. "Rember when I entered the Tager Desert in search of dicinal herbs? The first thing I did was to go straight to the Sacred City of the Snake-People Tribe to exchange the Sand's Datura with dusa. I had good intentions, but this woman colluded with her subordinate to provoke , wanting
to stay in the Snake-People Tribe to refine pills for her. If it weren't for your sake, I would have taught her a lesson."
"Ah?!"
Zi Yan was shocked, carefully thinking about what she and dusa had done these days. It seed like such behavior really did fit dusa's character.
"Sister dusa, aren't you going to explain?"
Watching Zi Yan shuffle her feet nervously, Queen dusa frowned and grabbed her by the arm, saying, "You ungrateful child! I've been nothing but good to you. Are you planning to turn on ?"
"This... it's not like that." Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and tried to act cute.
"Hmph!" dusa snorted at her before turning to Xiao Ming. "It's true that my Snake-People Tribe made a move against you back then, but you didn't suffer any losses, did you? Not only did you seal the Grand Commander of my Snake-People Tribe, but you also took my Tribe's precious Sand's Datura. So this matter has long since been settled."
When she ntioned the Grand Commander of the Snake-People Tribe, her face twisted with displeasure.
This ti she had co to the Jia Ma Empire to suffer a great loss. Not to ntion the Grand Commander had died, but now even that Xiao Yan had seized the opportunity to flee.
"I know that Xiao Yan and you are from the sa clan. As long as you tell
their location, I will naturally leave," said dusa.
Xiao Ming's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this. How could he possibly know where Xiao Yan had fled to? Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell her.
"Xiao Yan has already left. If you want to find him, you'll have to do it on your own. I don't know his location, and following us won't help you find him."
Despite Xiao Ming's clear ssage that she should stop following them, dusa remained adamant.
Firstly, she did not know where Xiao Yan had gone, and secondly, even if she wanted to look for him, she would have to go to the Imperial Capital to find him, where Xiao Yan might be traveling on a flying magical beast. Thirdly, she was very anxious, even more so than Jia Xing Tian.
The Tager Desert, where the Snake-People Tribe was located, was a harsh environnt, surrounded by four empires, and before she assud the Queen's position, these empires had often waged war against them, abducting the won of the tribe to make them slaves.
After becoming the Queen, she resorted to iron-fisted thods to maintain the current situation. But now, in the empires around the Snake-People Tribe, several Dou Ancestors had appeared, while she was still stuck at peak Dou Emperor, unable to advance for a long ti due to her magical beast physique.
If things continued like this, the Snake-People Tribe would be annihilated by the various surrounding empires sooner or later.
This was also the reason why she had chosen to take the risk of offending Xiao Ming at that ti and later on, helping Xiao Yan by coming to the Jia Ma Empire.
She could not simply return with the corpse of the Grand Commander and give up like this.
"Xiao Yan asked
for help with the Misty Cloud Sect matter, and in return, he agreed to lend
his Heavenly Fla. Now that I can't find him, shouldn't you, as a clanmate, take responsibility?"
"Heh, What do you want?" Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes.
"I can exchange a seventh-tier pill recipe with you for the Snake Sacred Soul Advancent Pill from back then, and I will provide the dicinal materials to refine it." Even though she talked about taking responsibility, dusa still suggested an exchange, still longing for that pill.
"I can't refine it, even if you provide the materials." Xiao Ming replied, feeling exasperated.
The Snake Sacred Soul Advancent Pill was a high-grade seventh-tier pill that could not be refined easily. Even if offered a reward, he didn't have the ti to refine it for dusa. He still had to go to the border of the Jia Ma Empire to "pick up" a corpse to revive Venerable Tian Huo.
Seeing that Xiao Ming did not agree, dusa looked at Zi Yan.
Zi Yan stretched out her small hands and expressed that she could not help her. Although she also wanted to ease the relationship between the two of them, she knew that Xiao Ming could not refine high-grade seventh-tier pills.
Otherwise, she would have already urged Xiao Ming to refine a Transformation Pill for her.
Seeing that even Zi Yan refused, dusa was at a loss.
After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Can't you lend
your Heavenly Fla for half an hour? As long as you agree, you can choose any treasure from my Snake-People Tribe's collection."
When she finished speaking, dusa gently nudged Zi Yan, hoping that she could help speak for her.
But before she could speak, Xiao Ming had already flown away.
Evolving using Heavenly Fla sounded good, but if she failed, she would be reduced to ashes.
...
When he returned to his residence in the Imperial Capital, Xiao Ming relaxed, no longer feeling dusa's aura around Zi Yan. If possible, he didn't want to have another conflict with Queen dusa.
Zi Yan didn't have many friends, and it would be difficult for her if Queen dusa continued to persist, so it was best that dusa understood when to retreat.
After spending so ti with Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ming headed to the secret room. Removing the snow-white storage ring from his finger, he waved it and a soul body floated out.
"Xiao Ming, you called
so early, don't you need to take a break?" Yao Tian Huo asked.
"No, it's better to refine the fierce spirit as soon as possible." After saying that, he shook his palm and an invisible fla appeared in front of him.
Yao Tian Huo nodded heavily at his words, his face filled with a grave expression. He extended his hand, causing the Fallen Heart Fla to float in front of him. With a flick of his finger, the white ring shook violently, and an unusually violent and fierce aura imdiately burst out from it.
A thick mist of blood gushed out from the white storage ring, condensing into a bloody figure in the middle of the secret room.
When the bloody figure appeared, an extrely strong ferocity spread. Fortunately, both Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo were not ordinary people, and this negative emotion failed to invade their minds.
As soon as the fierce spirit condensed, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo. Perhaps because the impression Yao Tian Huo left on him was too deep, the fierce soul roared and imdiately tried to flee from the secret room.
"Hmph, trying to leave?" Seeing the fierce spirit's action, Venerable Tian Huo let out a cold snort.
With a squeeze of his palm, the Fallen Heart Fla in front of him quickly spread out and imdiately turned into a fiery net that flashed and rushed towards the fierce spirit like a hungry wolf, enveloping it completely.
