Before anyone knew it, Xiao Yan had reached out his hand, and the little snake had already coiled around it.
Staring intently at the curiosity in the little snake's eyes, which resembled that of a newborn baby, Xiao Yan was somewhat bewildered.
"I don't know," Yao Lao said awkwardly. "Perhaps it was struck by lightning and became stupid during its evolution?"
"Your Majesty?" Xiao Yan asked tentatively.
The little snake did not respond to Xiao Yan's call. It blinked its crystal-clear eyes and suddenly stared at his storage ring with a hint of covetousness.
Then, it raised its head and let out a few soft hissing sounds at Xiao Yan, its gentle tone as if it were being coquettish.
Suddenly, as if it had discovered something, the seven-colored snake revealed two sharp little teeth and bit Xiao Yan's finger.
"Ah!" It stung slightly, but fortunately Xiao Yan didn't sense any killing intent, so he didn't throw the seven-colored snake away.
"The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is also a fire-attribute beast, and your blood is not only rich in energy that can help her evolve, but it is also filled with fire-attribute energy, so she naturally likes it very much."
Seeing the seven-colored little snake's excitement, the old doctor laughed.
Perhaps because it had absorbed the accompanying amethyst source, the seven-colored snake looked at Xiao Yan with less wariness in its eyes.
Clearly noticing the change in the little snake's gaze, Xiao Yan's heart stirred slightly. He cautiously reached out and gently stroked the delicate body.
Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, the seven-colored snake merely twisted its body slightly before giving up trying to dodge.
Afterwards, her wound healed, and she stopped drinking. She turned her little head and lazily rubbed it against Xiao Yan's palm.
Seeing the little snake's completely harmless behavior, a strange light suddenly shone in Xiao Yan's eyes.
"Hehe, kid, you plan to keep this little thing by your side?" As if knowing what Xiao Yan was thinking, Yao Lao's voice immediately rang in his mind.
"Hehe." Xiao Yan chuckled twice, licked his lips, and said with a slight excitement in his heart:
"This is an ancient beast with unlimited potential. If we could recruit it for our own use, it would be no less valuable than controlling a strange fire."
The old doctor nodded in agreement, then said in a deep voice:
"You should know how proud and ruthless Queen Medusa is. Given your personality, she might kill you on the spot for daring to take advantage of the situation and become her master."
"However, with your master there, I guess we can only accept it." After saying that, the old doctor burst into laughter.
"That's what I think too," Xiao Yan chuckled.
"Little one, come with me, okay?" Xiao Yan said with a smile as he placed the little snake in front of him, his expression as if he were deceiving a lost little girl on the roadside.
With its purple snake eyes wide open, the seven-colored snake stared at the young man's face in front of it, a rather human-like bewilderment flashing in its eyes. It stood up and stared blankly at Xiao Yan.
Seeing the strange behavior of the seven-colored snake, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face became slightly awkward.
He seemed to vaguely sense that within the body of the seven-colored snake, a mature and proud soul was coldly glancing at his inferior personality.
Xiao Yan coughed lightly, his eyes darted around, and he reached out and made a cut on his right hand.
As the blood flowed out, the seven-colored snake's eyes shone brightly, and the human-like bewilderment quickly disappeared. It opened its mouth and began to swallow the blood again.
In no time, the wound healed, and the seven-colored snake smacked its lips in satisfaction. A moment later, its tail coiled around Xiao Yan's wrist, then slipped into his sleeve and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
"Haha!" Xiao Yan grinned and burst into laughter as he watched this scene.
"Little Yanzi, not bad, you've actually reached the Dou Shi level." Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out behind Xiao Yan.
"Huh? Master, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Lin Qing with a look of surprise and delight.
The figure of the old apothecary suddenly appeared from Xiao Yan, and then bowed to Lin Qing: "Greetings, Senior!"
Lin Qing smiled calmly: "I've already said, there's no need for so much formality. As for why I'm here, it's because I was worried about your safety."
"You used up all the spiritual power I left you at once. I was worried that you might be in danger, so I rushed over from the Central Region."
Xiao Yan scratched his head and said, "Master, have you been here the whole time?"
Lin Qing smiled and said, "No, not at all. Gu He and his group arrived around the same time. Luckily, Medusa saved you, otherwise..."
"By the way, I've already dealt with that Dou Huang who was chasing you."
"What happened? Didn't she successfully evolve? What happened?" Gu He asked somewhat nervously from outside the golden mist.
"There must have been a problem with the evolution. That aura... has completely disappeared." The man in black robes shook his head slightly and said softly.
"Failed?" Upon hearing this, Gu He was taken aback, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, his gaze was fixed on the golden mist, and he said, "Although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame did not appear, this golden Samadhi Divine Flame is not bad either."
Yun Yun nodded slightly and said, "This mist is slowly dissipating. We'll seize the strange fire after it dissipates."
"Old He, how is it?" Yan Shi asked in a deep voice, "That aura just now?"
"It's the aura of Queen Medusa, but it seems there was some problem with its evolution. Perhaps it has already dissipated by now," Guhe pondered.
"Hmm? What is that?" Suddenly, the golden mist dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately, a ball of Samadhi Fire, tens of meters long, appeared in everyone's sight.
"The Samadhi Divine Fire, what a beautiful flame!" Guhe said, somewhat mesmerized.
Within the flames, Lin Qing spread out his right palm, and with a thought, he saw the Samadhi Divine Fire rapidly shrink, transforming in a short while into a small golden flame.
The golden flame slowly floated into Lin Qing's hand, and then Lin Qing tossed the flame into his mouth.
With a "glug!" sound, it was swallowed.
"Hmm?" Yun Yun's expression changed drastically when she saw Lin Qing, Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao in his soul form suddenly appear.
"He actually swallowed the Three Flavors Divine Fire?" Gu He was extremely surprised.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Yue Mei, Mo Bass, and Hua She'er rushed towards Lin Qing and the other two.
"Step back!" Lin Qing roared, and at the same time, an aura that made Yue Mei and the other snake-people unable to muster any resistance erupt from their hearts.
Immediately, Yue Mei and the other two stopped in their tracks, staring at Lin Qing with horrified expressions. The snake-people in the distance were all paralyzed on the ground by this aura.

"So powerful. Just by his aura, he scared three Dou Wangs into not daring to make a move." Yun Yun looked at Lin Qing, her expression darkening.
"Sect Master Yunyun, what is that person's strength?" Gu He asked worriedly.
Yun Yun said solemnly, "Stronger than me, definitely a Dou Zong level expert."
"A Dou Zong?" Gu He and the other two Dou Wangs exclaimed in shock.
Lin Qing withdrew his aura and then said to the snake-people, "Queen Medusa is safe and sound; she has successfully evolved."
Immediately, all the snake people breathed a sigh of relief, and then, realizing what had happened, they cheered loudly.
"Senior, I am Yue Mei of the Snake-People Clan. You said that Her Majesty the Queen has succeeded. May I ask where Her Majesty the Queen is?" Yue Mei asked, forcing herself to speak.
Although she heard that the Queen had succeeded, she looked for a long time but couldn't find the Queen. Helpless, she could only bite the bullet and ask.
Now, not only the snake people, but also Yun Yun and the others were paying attention, waiting for what would happen next.
Lin Qing didn't answer, but gestured to Xiao Yan, who immediately understood and raised his right hand high.
As Xiao Yan's sleeve slowly fell down, a small, seven-colored snake appeared in everyone's sight.
"This little snake is Queen Medusa," Xiao Yan exclaimed.
"That's the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python! Medusa actually succeeded!" Yun Yun's expression changed drastically; clearly, she recognized it too.
"Your Majesty, it really is Your Majesty! This is wonderful! We succeeded!" The three women, including Yue Mei, were overjoyed.
"However, there was still a small problem. Medusa has lost her memory, and now..." Xiao Yan chuckled.
"What?" Yue Mei and the others were stunned. Yue Mei said in astonishment, "You've lost your memory."
“That’s right, Medusa has lost her memory and has already recognized my disciple, Xiao Yan, as her master.” Lin Qing took over the conversation immediately.
"Impossible, how could Queen Medusa possibly..." Yue Mei and the other two looked incredulous.
"Hiss!" The seven-colored snake had woken up at some point, its tongue flicking out as it moved up Xiao Yan's arm and landed directly on his shoulder.
It wiggled its little tail and rubbed its little head against Xiao Yan's cheek.
"Your Majesty!" Upon seeing this scene, Yue Mei and the other two immediately knelt on the ground and roared.
"Your Majesty." The snake-people in the distance were also terrified as they watched that scene, and a large number of them knelt down.
"You must have used some kind of evil magic to make Her Majesty the Queen like this, that must be it." Mobas raised his head and glared fiercely at Lin Qing.
He then slowly stood up, raised his weapon, and shouted, "I swear to defend Her Majesty the Queen to the death!"
"We swear to defend Her Majesty the Queen to the death!" All the snake people stood up and roared.
"Although you are a Dou Zong powerhouse, we Snake People will never be slaves. Let's all attack together and protect Her Majesty the Queen!" Yue Mei shouted coldly, staring at Lin Qing.
Her fighting spirit suddenly erupted, a pair of wings appeared behind her, and then she charged towards Xiao Yan.
"We must win back Her Majesty the Queen, even if it means death."
With a whoosh, all the snake-people rushed over. The sheer force of their attack even made Yun Yun, a powerful Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) not far away, twitch her brow.
"Even with a Dou Zong expert like him, it's all in vain. But why is that guy called Xiao Yan? Is Yao Yan an alias like mine?"
Yun Yun gritted her teeth and let out a soft snort to express her dissatisfaction.
"Who told you I'm a Dou Zong?" Lin Qing's calm voice echoed across the vast desert.
The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess a magical power, actually suppressing the shouts of thousands of snake-people.
Seemingly due to Lin Qing's voice, all the snake-people paused, their fighting spirit instantly dissipated.
"Pfft!" Yue Mei suddenly fell into the sand and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yue Mei glared fiercely at Lin Qing and said, "Even if you are a Dou Zun, you would never allow Queen Medusa to be a slave."
"She's not my slave, she's my friend, don't you agree, Medusa?" Xiao Yan gazed tenderly at the seven-colored snake.
"Hiss!" As if responding to Xiao Yan's words, it raised its head and nodded very seriously. Then, it started rubbing against him again, as if it were being affectionate.
"Your Majesty," Yue Mei called out blankly, not knowing what to do.
"You don't need to be sad. Once Queen Medusa regains her memories, I will absolutely not stop her from returning to the Snake People if she wants to," Lin Qing said very seriously.
