Chapter 54: The Movements of the Lei Family, the Alluring Medusa Queen

Staring at the graceful figure of the woman before him, Lin Yan was completely stunned.

After all, being familiar with "Battle Through The Heaven", he was very familiar with the appearances of many important characters.

Especially someone like the enchanting and alluring Medusa Queen, just one glance was enough for Lin Yan to remember her appearance forever.

So, when Lin Yan saw the beautiful face and enchanting figure of the woman...

He immediately recognized her identity, and as he continued to look at the slumbering little snake and beads of cold sweat began to form on his forehead.

"This is a bit troublesome now."

Lin Yan said with a bitter smile.

Although he had already guessed the identity of the Nine-Colored Swallowing Python before, now that he was certain it was truly the Medusa Queen, he felt a sense of unease.

After all, the Medusa Queen wasn't only renowned for her captivating appearance, but also for her ruthless methods.

Lin Yan remembered how Haidong, a character from the original work, had been manipulated by her and lived in seclusion in the desert for many years. Even Xiao Yan, after saving the Seven-Colored Swallowing Python, had been threatened by her several times...

Therefore, Lin Yan couldn't be certain that the Medusa Queen wouldn't treat him the same way she had treated Xiao Yan.

He could only hope that the system and the Nine-Colored Swallowing Python's fondness for him would come to his aid.

Lin Yan remembered that in the original work, Xiao Yan was able to win over the Medusa Queen largely due to the high regard the Seven-Colored Swallowing Python had for him. Fortunately, the current Nine-Colored Swallowing Python was quite affectionate towards Lin Yan, which was the only fortunate aspect...

"Speaking of it, she's really beautiful..."

"Such a bewitching and alluring face, such smooth skin, those legs..."

After glancing at the Medusa Queen in front of him, Lin Yan felt his heart race and nearly got lost in her beauty.

He cleared his throat and even slapped his own thigh hard to snap out of it.

Lin Yan didn't dare to look at the Medusa Queen any longer and muttered to himself:

"This woman is truly a seductress. Most men can't withstand this kind of temptation, especially not someone who's a eunuch..."

"Phew..."

"Forget it, I should take a cold shower to calm down."

"This woman isn't easy to deal with. I should observe the situation and work on cultivating the little fellow's fondness for me. That way, I won't be afraid of her making a move against me."

"As for becoming the so-called 'Python Hero'..."

Thinking this, Lin Yan coughed lightly and quickly headed to the bathroom for a cold shower.

Can't think about it, mustn't think about it.

Thinking more will lead to trouble...

How can I, a young man filled with vigor, handle that?

...

After a cold shower, Lin Yan finally managed to calm down a bit.

He continued observing the little creature inside the bead, noticing that the strange fluctuations on its body had gradually dissipated. The appearance of the Medusa Queen had completely disappeared as well.

"She's probably not fully awake yet..."

"Well, let's keep observing."

Lin Yan concluded that since the little creature was still sleeping, he didn't pay it much mind.

In the days that followed, he continued his cultivation as usual.

Currently, Lin Yan had a lot to work on in terms of his training.

He needed to improve his mental power, master the Eight-Pole Collapse, refine spiritual arrays, and learn alchemy...

It was fortunate that he had decent talents; otherwise, with the many things he needed to learn, he could have easily gotten overwhelmed.

During this time, he remained earnest in his cultivation.

In the midst of his cultivation, Lin Yan still didn't forget to keep an eye on the little creature.

After all, it was one thing not knowing that she was the Medusa Queen.

Now that he knew, he couldn't take it lightly.

For Lin Yan, the Medusa Queen was like a bomb ready to explode at any moment.

If he wasn't careful, he might end up blown to pieces. Thus, he remained highly vigilant.

But what puzzled Lin Yan was that since the last incident, the Medusa Queen seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The little creature continued sleeping every day, and the spectral image of the Medusa Queen hadn't appeared again.

Seeing this, Lin Yan remained cautious and continued observing the little creature while diligently practicing his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed quickly.

After a month, in Qingyang Town, at the Lei Family residence.

At this moment, Lei Leopard, the family head of the Lei Family, had an extremely gloomy expression.

Before him, Lei Pi also had a similarly dark expression as he reported to Lei Leopard.

"Father, the information I obtained is absolutely accurate. The Lin Family's recent trip to Flame City was ostensibly to sell ironwood, but in reality, they sold over a hundred pieces of Yang Yuan Stone. We all know their strength; how can they have so many Yang Yuan Stones? And especially at this crucial juncture..."

Lei Leopard's face grew darker the more he heard, "What are you trying to say?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lei Pi said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Lin Family must have discovered a vein of Yang Yuan Stones within their Ironwood Manor. Otherwise, there's no way they could have had so many Yang Yuan Stones during this period, let alone send so many people to Ironwood Manor."

Lei Leopard's gaze became increasingly filled with murderous intent. While he didn't want to believe it, the various clues strongly indicated that Lei Leopard might be right...

This made Lei Leopard feel extremely infuriated.

The value of a Yang Yuan Stone vein was incredibly immense. Yet, they had handed over this incredibly valuable resource to the Lin Family on a silver platter. This made Lei Leopard so furious that his mouth almost twitched.

"Did you send someone to investigate?"

Lei Pi answered, "We've already sent people. Barring any unexpected events, we should have the results by today."

Lei Leopard spread his hands, signaling for everyone to leave, "Come find me when you have news!"

Everyone obediently retreated.

As for Lei Leopard, once everyone was gone, his gaze grew increasingly vicious.

If he couldn't have something, no one else could either.

This had always been Lei Leopard's personality. That's why he had directly demolished Ironwood Manor before handing it over to the Lin Family that day.

I didn't expect there might still be another Yang Yuan Stone vein inside.

Thinking this, Lei Leopard was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Lin Family, since you're digging your own grave, don't blame me."

Quietly waiting in the hall, Lei Leopard had already made up his mind. If he did indeed discover another Yang Yuan Stone vein in Ironwood Manor, then no matter what means he had to use, the Lei Family would have to snatch that vein back.

And now, all that was lacking was evidence that Ironwood Manor possessed a Yang Yuan Stone vein.

He waited in the hall for an entire afternoon, finally receiving a definite response from Lei Pi in the afternoon.

"Go and fetch the people from the Black Dragon Gang for me!"

Lei Leopard was so enraged that he slapped the table in front of him, causing it to shatter into pieces. Then, his gaze turned fierce and he let out a furious roar!

A huge crisis was gradually approaching the Lin Family.
