Chapter 72 - 76 – Queen Medusa’s Restless HeartBlack-Corner Region. A special region formed outside the Jia Nan Academy, forged through chaos and conflict. The Black-Corner Region spanned an immense area. After years of expansion, it had nearly become a small, well-defined nation. However, unlike other empires with a supreme ruler, the Black-Corner Region was a land where every force fought for itself. Various factions, driven by self-interest, constantly waged war and spilled blood. The region was a chaotic mess—scattered like loose sand. It was precisely due to this chaos that neighboring countries neither dared to interfere nor had the strength to do so. Thus, the Black-Corner Region continued to expand unchecked. Han Feng, a Tier 6 alchemist and a powerful Dou Huang, was known as the Medicine Emperor. Among the many factions and peak experts, he held considerable status. Naturally, a Tier 6 alchemist commanded respect even from ordinary Dou Huangs or Dou Zongs. Even in the chaos of the Black-Corner Region, his reputation was exceptionally prominent. It only took a little inquiry from Jia Xing Tian and the others to learn where Han Feng resided. Maple City, home of Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region. At the heart of the city lay a bamboo forest, a world apart from the noisy outside world, guarded with formidable defenses. Deep within the bamboo grove stood a bamboo pavilion, its lush green hue like polished jade, faintly exuding a gentle bamboo fragrance.

He wore a robe signifying his identity as an alchemist. Embroidered on the back was a meticulously crafted character: Feng (Maple). The man was none other than the Medicine Emperor—Han Feng, who was currently copying a pill recipe with great focus. In the silence, Han Feng suddenly frowned and spoke in a low voice, "Han Beng, didn't I say not to disturb me unless it's something important?" Just as his words fell, a ghostly figure flashed into the room, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported: "Master, Dan King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire seeks an audience. He claims to have news of a Heavenly Flame." "A Heavenly Flame?" At those words, Han Feng's previously calm state rippled with emotion. He immediately stood up and said, "Bring them in." Before long, three figures appeared before Han Feng. "I am Gu He. Greetings, Medicine Emperor," Gu He greeted first. Following his lead, Jia Xing Tian and Reina offered their respectful salutations. Han Feng skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point. "Dan King Gu He, I've heard of you. A Tier 6 Alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire. A Heavenly Flame is a sacred treasure to an alchemist. Why aren't you seeking it for yourself, but instead offering the information to me?" Gu He was momentarily startled, not expecting such directness. Realizing there might be a chance this could work, he answered: "Naturally, I have my reasons. If the Medicine Emperor is willing to refine two Breaking Barrier Pills for me, I will share the location of the Heavenly Flame." "Breaking Barrier Pills?" Han Feng's eyes narrowed. As a Tier 6 Alchemist, he was certainly familiar with the pill. "You're under a seal?" "Not me—my two friends," Gu He replied, gesturing toward Jia Xing Tian. Jia Xing Tian nodded silently. The three of them had agreed beforehand that Gu He would do the talking. Seeing their caution, Han Feng chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, Dan King. I, as the Medicine Emperor, still have some credibility in the Black-Corner Region. As long as the information is genuine and you help me acquire the Heavenly Flame, I will not only refine two Breaking Barrier Pills but also offer additional compensation." With that, Han Feng narrowed his eyes and flicked his finger. A deep blue flame, clear as a tranquil lake, ignited at his fingertip. It was a display of his ability to refine Breaking Barrier Pills. "A Heavenly Flame indeed," Jia Xing Tian's eyes lit up at the sight of the deep blue flame. Gu He gave it a long look, then began recounting the entire situation. "Green Lotus Core Flame... Queen Medusa..." A fiery light flared in Han Feng's eyes. He clenched his fist tightly and declared, "A Nine-Star Dou Huang... not a concern. Han Beng, take my token and notify the Earth Flame Sect, Three Fan Gates, and Blood Sect. Have them gather here within two hours." With a flick of his wrist, Han Feng tossed out two command tokens from his storage ring. "Yes." The ghost-like figure named Han Beng received the tokens, bowed respectfully, and swiftly vanished into the darkness. A few days later... Tagore Desert. Serpent Tribe Royal Palace – Queen's Bedchamber Night. Queen Medusa's slender brows furrowed slightly as she watched Chen Mo, who was calmly cultivating. Tonight, she had gone out of her way to wear a colorful, figure-hugging dress that outlined her curves in an alluring and provocative way. She looked breathtakingly seductive. When she entered the chamber, she had even taken the initiative to greet Chen Mo with a soft, flirtatious gaze. Her voice had a teasing, sensual tone—completely different from her usual demeanor. Yet Chen Mo had only looked up briefly, greeted her casually, and then returned to his cultivation. This side of him... was unfamiliar to Queen Medusa. It had been over a week now, and he was still like this. In the past, he would've definitely flirted shamelessly: "Your Majesty, you're so beautiful—I'm falling for you more each day." "Your Majesty, can I have a kiss?" "Your Majesty, can I hold you just once?" But now? Not only did he stop flirting, he hadn't even tried anything daring or presumptuous. Queen Medusa suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be... he really gave up halfway and no longer intended to pursue her? Logically, she should be happy if he stopped chasing her. But now that it had actually happened, Queen Medusa felt... incomplete. As if something important had been lost. She bit her lip, trying her best not to let emotions unbefitting her regal demeanor show. She sat down on her throne and commanded, "Human, come and massage this Queen's shoulders." Chen Mo was in the middle of cultivating the Chaos Meditation Technique. Hearing her command, he was momentarily stunned. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Didn't you say I wasn't allowed to touch you?" So it is like that? Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa's face turned cold as she replied icily, "This Queen changed her mind—is that not allowed?" "Of course it is," Chen Mo replied, ending his meditation and getting up from the bed. He walked toward Queen Medusa, still somewhat confused. Didn't she prohibit him from touching her? Maybe... she was just tired? Chen Mo didn't believe she was deliberately offering herself to be taken advantage of. Standing behind her, he raised his hands and gently placed them on her jade-like shoulders, beginning to massage her lightly. Queen Medusa closed her eyes and indulged in the comfort. But after ten minutes... Her expression subtly shifted. What's going on? Even after all this time... his touch was still completely proper. Shouldn't he at least try to take advantage of this Queen? **** If you want to support me or read advanced Chapters (21+), consider checking out my pat. patr*on.com/Salsita2k
