Chapter 544: Chapter 352: Su Xuan’s Bizarre Logic! Queen Medusa, You Wouldn’t Want...

"Then by all means, explain."

Queen Medusa propped her cheek on the back of her hand and asked expressionlessly, "What exactly do you mean when you say you came for me?"

"Queen, you want to leave this godforsaken place too, don’t you?" Su Xuan asked Queen Medusa, his tone light.

"Indeed." Queen Medusa swayed her serpentine tail slightly and replied, "No one wishes to remain here, but my physical body is on the verge of collapsing. If I were to leave the Land of Silence, death would be my only outcome, and... I have yet to find any cure."

"If you are willing to trust me, Queen, I may be able to help you leave."

Su Xuan boldly offered his help to Queen Medusa.

But the moment he finished speaking, Alina sent a frantic mental message to Su Xuan. "You idiot! What are you trying to prove? Queen Medusa was wounded by the Gods! How could you possibly save her?"

"And another thing! Do you think the rare treasures you have can compare to the Power Queen Medusa commands? Even Queen Medusa herself can’t find a way to revive; what makes you think you can save her?!"

"Don’t worry, I have my ways."

Su Xuan just smiled faintly, reassuring Alina.

In fact, he hadn’t even used Spiritual Magic to say it. He had spoken aloud, directly to Alina.

"You!"

Alina furrowed her brow, speechless at Su Xuan’s reckless behavior.

But what was done was done. She could only go with the flow and try to placate Queen Medusa first.

She took a step forward and said, "If you are willing, Queen, our Elf Race can also lend its Power to help you revive."

"The Elf Race possesses no treasure capable of saving me. Not even the Elf Mother Tree can repair my physical body." Queen Medusa’s tone was cold, as if she held Alina and the entire Elf Race in complete disregard.

This was understandable. According to historical records, the Snake-man Race under Queen Medusa’s rule had once been even more glorious than the Elf Race.

It was only after Queen Medusa’s journey to the Divine Realm that the Snake-man Race fell into decline for various reasons.

For example, the race failed to produce a leader who could match Queen Medusa’s stature, or they were plagued by internal strife, divine punishment, and so on.

The reasons were far too complex to be understood in a single moment.

Although Queen Medusa had once promised to lead her people to the Divine Realm, she had failed—utterly and completely.

"I have a way to revive you, Queen, but it will take some time," Su Xuan assured her.

"And you think I would believe you so easily?" Queen Medusa gently tapped her cheek with a fingertip, her tone frigid and unforgiving, holding not a shred of trust for Su Xuan.

"Of course you wouldn’t trust me easily. But you have no choice *but* to trust me, do you?" Su Xuan countered with a faint, calm smile. "If you don’t choose me, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to protect the last fragment of your shattered soul. You’ll become a slave to the Undead Monarch... your own subordinate. Am I right?"

"..."

Queen Medusa did not answer Su Xuan’s pointed question, but a flicker of anger showed in her light brown eyes.

Alina, hearing this, stared at Su Xuan in disbelief, unable to comprehend his meaning.

She quickly sent another mental message. "How do you know the Undead Monarch wants to enslave Queen Medusa?"

"A guess."

This time, Su Xuan used Spiritual Magic to answer Alina. If Queen Medusa were to find out he was only guessing, things would no longer proceed at his pace.

As for the basis of his guess, it was naturally the Undead Monarch’s desire for revival.

First, it was certain that the Elf Mother Tree could not save Queen Medusa’s shattered body and soul. That meant the Undead Monarch’s war against the Elf Race was absolutely not for the sake of reviving Queen Medusa.

Furthermore, the Undead Monarch had pledged himself to a new master, which would inevitably put him in conflict with Queen Medusa. He had also carefully preserved the Queen’s crown, even having his most trusted male consort guard it.

In that case, the Undead Monarch’s objective was clear: he wanted to use some special method to seize Queen Medusa’s Power for himself.

But this method required the Elf Mother Tree as a foundation, which was why he had launched a war that had lasted a thousand years.

Of course, this was all Su Xuan’s speculation. As for whether he was correct...

He saw the change in Queen Medusa’s expression. A hint of panic flickered through her cold facade, as if Su Xuan had struck a nerve!

After a long silence, Queen Medusa finally spoke. "Do you have any idea what you’re saying? If you dare to deceive me, you will atone for it with your life!"

"If I am deceiving you, I will be at your disposal, Queen," Su Xuan replied calmly.

"Then I shall trust you for the time being." Queen Medusa slowly rose, her serpentine tail swaying as she moved to stand before Su Xuan.

Su Xuan had already reverted from his Half-Dragon Transformation, so Queen Medusa now towered over him.

’Her serpentine tail alone was three to four meters long, and her human upper body was a full meter and a half. All told, that made her height about... five meters?’

Su Xuan naturally found this Queen—a graceful beauty from the waist up and a serpent from the waist down—to be a novel sight.

Although he had seen a few Snake-men before, Queen Medusa was different. He couldn’t quite put his finger on how, nor could he be bothered to think too much about it.

He simply watched quietly as Queen Medusa swayed her serpentine tail and came to a halt before him.
