”Speaking of which, if the scorpions and snakes take orders from you, can't you also Summon them whenever I Summon you? You do know how many enemies I have, not to mention how much stronger they are. Things will be much simpler if your army of snakes and scorpions could lend me a hand!” Mo Fan said.
”Enough daydreaming,” Apas grunted. ”You have no idea how complicated the Medusa Tribe is!”
”I'm pretty interested in it. Tell me about it, I have plenty of time to spare now,” Mo Fan said.
”She's just a descendant that doesn't attend to her proper duties!” a voice interrupted them.
Mo Fan heard the Queen of the Netherworld, but he did not see her anywhere. He looked around and saw her floating out from a painting nearby. She even had the appearance of the woman in the painting, clearly displaying the traits of a phantom. She successfully gave Mo Fan goosebumps.
It was quite terrifying knowing that a strong phantom could just Possess anything without alerting anyone!
Mo Fan looked at Apas and asked in confusion, ”She doesn't attend to her duties? What does that mean?”
”Didn't you ask me to take care of the army of snakes and scorpions recently? I visited their evil temples, so I managed to figure out what's going on in the Medusa Tribe,” the Queen of the Netherworld stated.
Apas remained silent, glaring at the Queen of the Netherworld. The detestable old lady was the exact reason she was here now!
”Tell me about it,” Mo Fan was intrigued, and sat down on the couch. He did not notice the little squirrel who was enjoying her meal on it.
Little Flame Belle quickly moved away to avoid being flattened by Mo Fan. She cried out resentfully in displeasure!
Mo Fan put on an awkward smile. He hugged Little Flame Belle and treated her like a warm pillow. He was ready to listen to an exciting story!
Little Flame Belle prepared her snacks, too, waiting for the Queen of the Netherworld to explain the situation about the Medusa Tribe with wide eyes, even though she could not understand a single word.
”The Medusa Queen is dying,” the Queen of the Netherworld stated.
”...” Mo Fan almost fell from the couch.
The Queen of the Netherworld had told him such a shocking piece of news right off the bat!
The Medusa Queen was the real boss in charge of the horde of scorpions and snakes. She was the greatest ruler of the Medusae, yet to think that a powerful creature like her was dying… It was unbelievable!
Every country had some powerful creatures residing in it. They were considered the natural enemies of the countries, and were great restrictions to the country's development. Some would occasionally invade the human cities ruthlessly, such as the horde from China's Dongting Lake. If the greatest ruler of the horde died somehow, the whole country would celebrate!
”The Medusa Queen, one of the Seven Great Beasts in Africa, is dying?” Mo Fan stared at the Queen of the Netherworld. He was struggling to believe it.
The Queen of the Netherworld glanced at Apas and said with a smile, ”Isn't the youngest daughter of the Queen Medusa right beside you? Why don't you ask her about it?”
Mo Fan stared at Apas with wide eyes.
Are you serious!? Apas is the Medusa Queen's daughter...
Mo Fan knew Apas' rank in the tribe was high since she had the purest, noble lineage of the Medusa Tribe. However, he did not expect it to be that pure; the youngest daughter of the Queen Medusa! Wouldn't that make him the Queen Medusa's son-in-law? Wait, what son-in-law, she was his Contract Summons!
”Do you realize how lucky you are now?” The Queen of the Netherworld rolled her eyes at him.
Mo Fan nodded heavily.
Damn, he had clearly made a fortune! It explained why even a general like Ethan was trying so hard to fawn on Apas. It turned out that she did have control over Africa's destiny… but she was now his Contracted Beast instead! HAHAHA, not to mention how good-looking she was, too! Being kind-hearted did end up giving him good rewards. He should be doing more good things from now on! He would hunt down the evildoers so the Heavens would keep rewarding him by giving him beautiful assistants!
”If the Medusa Queen is dying, who's going to be her successor?” Mo Fan suddenly realized something. He looked at Apas with great passion.
