Doupo: I'm just an alchemist

Chapter 74 Conversation under the Moon

The conversations of passersby were clearly transmitted to Medusa's perception, and the stone in her heart became heavier and heavier.

As night fell and the moon reached its zenith, Nangong Wuxin appeared in the teahouse, sitting opposite Lin Lang.

A red shadow flashed by and landed on the teahouse.

A silver flash of lightning appeared on Lin Lang's body, and he instantly stood in front of Nangong Wuxin, his eyes fixed on the female snake person in front of him.

"The legendary secrets of the Snake People are extremely mysterious. After seeing them today, I can see that they are indeed worthy of their reputation. But it's a pity that they met my young master."

"As expected of a distinguished sixth-rank alchemist, even such a powerful person would willingly follow you."

Medusa narrowed her eyes. This old guy was much stronger than the one from the royal family. Even in her prime, she was not confident that she could defeat him.

Nangong Wuxin glanced at the veiled Queen Medusa and said calmly, "Just say what you want to say. Under such beautiful moonlight, I don't want to talk nonsense with someone who hides his true intentions."

Hide the head and show the tail?

As soon as these words came out, a flash of sarcasm crossed Lin Lang's face.

"Hehe, young master really has been to school, this description is really appropriate!"

Queen Medusa looked at her lower body and the veil on her face, and forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart: "How about I use a strange fire in exchange for Mebas' life?"

A strange expression flashed across Lin Lang's face. Should he be said to be worthy of being a young master?

It had only been a short time since he returned, and he had already encountered two strange fires. How many alchemists would never see even one in their entire lives?

only……

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Nangong Wuxin stretched out his hand, and the ochre-colored tornado flame burned fiercely in his palm, making a sound like a dragon's roar.

"No matter what kind of strange fire you take out, I won't be tempted by it."

"Wind Fury Dragon Flame..."

A dull look flashed across Medusa's eyes. You can be a higher-ranked Strange Fire, or a lower-ranked Strange Fire, but why must it be the eighteenth-ranked Wind Fury Dragon Flame?

It just happened to be one level higher than her Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

"Huh... three things. I can do three things for you unconditionally. Is that enough?"

The confusion in Medusa's eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by immense determination.

Lin Lang, who was standing between the two of them, had a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect this woman to be so decisive. Three things?

Aren’t you afraid that I’ll just let you die?

"Haha, I once heard such a sentence, and I have kept it in my heart all this time."

Nangong Wuxin suddenly smiled at the tempting conditions proposed by Medusa. He did not rush to answer, but recalled an unfinished anime.

"A crown certainly makes the wearer superior to others, and enjoys the worship of his subjects."

"But the crown actually has another meaning: when disaster strikes, I will block it for you, so that you will only see golden hope."

"I recognize you, Medusa... Her Majesty the Queen."

"As long as the two people who died were not surnamed Nangong, after you put forward this condition, I would not ask for anything else but be your friend. I agree to it."

"But there are no ifs. Those two are also my people, people who are related to me by blood."

"They have wives and children."

"Just because of my opinion, I embarked on a path of no return."

"The reason for their death is even more ridiculous. They clearly didn't do anything to harm you snake people, but they were still killed."

"They died like that, never to come back to life, unable to watch their children grow up, or grow old with their wives."

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. You should also understand my feelings, right?"

Nangong Wuxin's eyes were filled with indifference as he looked at the veiled Medusa. "In the past, your Serpent People were powerful, so I endured this grudge. In the future, I will use my absolute power to kill Mobas, and you must endure it."

"In Douqi Continent, the strong are respected."

"I admire your character, but I'm also in awe of your power."

"So what I can do is to avoid implicating innocent people and keep the grudge between the two sides within a very small scope."

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Isn't Mobas from your Serpent Clan a Dou Wang? He should understand this principle. You can't say he's not yet an adult, right?"

"He did something stupid, and you're the one cleaning up after him? That doesn't make sense."

"That's all I have to say. We will continue to have the necessary contact, and Nika's behavior of throwing money around can stop. But let's not talk about the Mobas matter anymore. There's no changing that."

Nangong Wuxin took a sip of tea and looked up at the night sky.

Looking at Nangong Wuxin's amber eyes, which reflected the bright moon and stars in the night sky, Queen Medusa remained silent, turned around and left the teahouse without saying anything extra.

It's been made so clear, what else can she do?
Just attack? Her injuries haven't healed yet, and she only has a 30% to 40% chance of winning against that old man.

Moreover, Nangong Wuxin is not a weakling.

She would need to spend some effort to defeat a Dou Wang strongman with the strange fire in his hand even in a one-on-one fight.

Not to mention, there is a strong man who is no weaker than her by her side.

After returning to her residence, Medusa stood by the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

After a long time, Medusa regained her composure and sighed.

"When disaster strikes from the sky, I will block it for you, so that you will always see only golden hope."

Medusa couldn't help but think about these words in her heart, and she understood what Nangong Wuxin meant.

She is the king of the snake people.

He is also the young master of the Nangong family.

Neither of them can give in.

However, the current situation makes Medusa prefer Nangong Wuxin's approach.

Once the war breaks out, the snake people will definitely not be willing to try it themselves to see how strong the appeal of a sixth-grade alchemist is.

But... hey...

"One last fight! If I fail, Mobas, you'll be on your own..."

There was a glint of determination in Medusa's eyes. If she failed, she would be gone too.

Judging from the personalities of those old guys from the snake people, Mobas's ending will probably not be very good.

……

In the teahouse, after seeing off Queen Medusa, Lin Lang returned to his seat.

"Mr. Lin, I'm in trouble."

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. Sharing your worries is my responsibility."

Nangong Wuxin smiled and asked softly, "Mr. Lin, have you prepared the ingredients for the Pozong Pill?"

"I have prepared some. I have searched everywhere over the years and only got five copies."

A look of gritted teeth flashed across Lin Lang's face. Obviously, this process must have involved a lot of grievances and hatreds, and he might even have suffered losses.

Nangong Wuxin was a little surprised. With Lin Lang's strength, he was no weakling at the Douhuang realm. Who could possibly make him suffer?

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, are you willing to give it a try?"

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Lang's face. Although Nangong Wuxin's words sounded euphemistic, he could hear that the young master was confident that he could refine the Pozong Pill!
