In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 142 Your Majesty, how have you treated me so poorly?

Clearly, this was evident from the previous series of conversations.

Queen Medusa already believes that Xiao Ran is qualified to speak with her.

They also showed at least some respect to Xiao Ran and did not take immediate action.

Regardless of anything else, this is the treatment that the strong deserve.

Xiao Ran tilted his head slightly and put his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, I think you may have forgotten what I just said."

"I am a genuine seventh-grade alchemist."

"It is not difficult to learn from the endless ancient books about the secret method of your snake-people to devour strange fire to refine your body and evolve."

"Furthermore, with the Ice Spirit Spring and the Strange Fire right here, do you think I should know or not?"

A sense of pride and arrogance, characteristic of alchemists, was evident in his expression.

Queen Medusa lightly touched her red lips with her finger, her mind racing as she pondered the truthfulness of Xiao Ran's words.

After a long silence, he slowly nodded.

Then he asked,

"So, human, what do you want?"

Xiao Ran said with righteous indignation,

"I have come here to help Her Majesty the Queen successfully evolve."

Queen Medusa snorted coldly.

"You?!"

Without saying a word, Xiao Ran took out a ball of Taiyin True Fire.

True fire coiled and danced around his fingertips, as obedient and compliant as a well-behaved pet.

Then, Xiao Ran looked at Queen Medusa and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty, I suppose you've already seen that my strange fire is far more powerful than the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire you painstakingly sought out, haven't you?"

"While it's possible for you to evolve by absorbing that unclaimed Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the probability of failure is probably quite high, isn't it?"

"However, if you change your perspective..."

"If it were to use someone else's strange fire, such as myself..."

"If I use my own unique flame to help you evolve, then the flame will be under my control and will certainly be more obedient. So, imagine how much your chances of successfully evolving will increase?"

"So, that's the source of my confidence in saying I can help you evolve 100%."

After saying that, Xiao Ran hovered quietly in the air, looking at Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa stood quietly in place, deep in thought.

He couldn't help but admit that Xiao Ran's words made sense.

After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran, asking calmly,

"Human, what are your conditions?"

Xiao Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief. He really didn't want to fight this crazy woman unless absolutely necessary.

They go all out from the start; which man could withstand that?

"I just want to stay on Her Majesty's island for a while."

Queen Medusa's eyebrows furrowed, and she said in a cold voice,

"Human. I respect you as a seventh-grade alchemist and a Dou Wang powerhouse."

"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child, someone you can deceive? State your purpose!"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback.

In an instant, he understood that for the strong, many things in the world are about mutual exchange.

The prerequisite for exchange is that the values ​​must be equal.

And yet, he was willing to take the risk and help Queen Medusa evolve by making such a small request.

Putting aside the possibility of it being possible, who, apart from those who contributed to the lottery every day in their past lives, would still believe in free lunches?

The stronger a person is, the less likely they are to believe such things.

The risks involved in his own strange fire entering Medusa's body were immense. If Queen Medusa didn't pay a sufficient price, would she really believe it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran quietly took another step back, then looked at Queen Medusa with deep affection in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, my name is Xiao Ran, and I have long admired you!"

"If you are willing to become my woman, I can not only help you successfully evolve, but I can also help your snake-people race refine two grade-seven pills!"

Before he could finish speaking, he sensed a chill coming from him and quickly dodged away.

But they found Queen Medusa standing calmly in place.

Although her pretty face held a hint of malice, she did not retaliate. She tilted her head slightly, displaying the haughtiness of a queen.

He asked casually.

"I am curious, it seems we have only just met, so how can you say it has been a long time?"

"this……"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback. He couldn't very well say that he watched anime in his previous life, could he?

With a quick glance, he spoke righteously and solemnly.

"I learned from ancient texts that the Medusa clan has only one husband in their lifetime, and once they have chosen someone, they are devoted to him until death!"

"Today, having the honor of meeting Her Majesty the Queen, I..."

Before Xiao Ran could finish speaking, Queen Medusa said coldly,

"That's enough! You don't need to say anything more!"

Xiao Ran was overjoyed and looked at Queen Medusa.

"So, what does Your Majesty mean?"

Queen Medusa's face was cold, but she suppressed it.

"I am the chieftain of the snake-people race; I could never be your woman!"

Then he turned his head.

"Please leave this place! Do not disturb my evolution!"

"What? Does Her Majesty the Queen intend to risk the unknown dangers and the possibility of her own demise by using the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?" Xiao Ran was shocked.

Medusa seemed quite pleased with Xiao Ran's surprise.

She parted her red lips slightly and looked in the direction of the Snake-Man Clan's temple.

"I may die, but I will never let my life or death tarnish the pride of the Medusa clan."

"If you are unwilling to offer any further conditions, then please leave this place, otherwise I will take action!"

Xiao Ran sighed inwardly.

What a proud woman!

"Your Majesty, how have you treated me so poorly?"

Queen Medusa snorted coldly, her expression turning fierce.

"You little human brat, how dare you humiliate me, you're truly courting death!"

Immediately, five snake seals formed from condensed fighting energy appeared.

Xiao Ran hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, I am a seventh-grade alchemist and can help you successfully evolve. For the sake of your people, I sincerely hope you will seriously consider my proposal."

"Moreover, you should know what a seventh-grade alchemist means in this Dou Qi Continent."

"If you kill me, the snake people will never have peace again."

"You only vented your anger and upheld your dignity for a moment, which made you feel better, but have you considered what the snake-people will face next?"

Queen Medusa snorted coldly.

"Humans are indeed despicable, but let me tell you, don't even think about it! I would rather die than agree to your terms."

Xiao Ran felt helpless; he had previously portrayed himself as a womanizer.

He genuinely wanted to help Queen Medusa evolve, but he never expected it to turn out like this.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can be more realistic. On this Dou Qi Continent, the strong prey on the weak, and the weak relying on the strong is nothing to be ashamed of."

Queen Medusa snorted coldly.

"You? Human, you should go back to drinking milk for another two years!"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Since Her Majesty questions my abilities, then let's see what I can do!"
