”You asked her to place Ethan under a Curse?” the Queen of the Netherworld asked Mo Fan.
”Yeah, I didn't feel right without teaching him a lesson,” Mo Fan nodded.
”Her soul is seriously damaged. She is a lot weaker now, yet she was forced to use such a powerful Curse on a Super Mage. She must be worn out,” the Queen of the Netherworld said.
”Oh, is she going to be fine then?” Mo Fan asked worriedly.
”If she was either of her sisters, I would advise you to release her from the Contract right away, even if it meant injuring yourself. They are just too vicious, and could do anything to achieve their goals. They might not be able to harm you, but they would target the people around you to drive you crazy. As for Apas, from what I know, she has spent most of her time around humans. The Medusa Queen has been in bad shape for a long time, and her sisters are eying the throne covetously. It was difficult for Apas to survive in the evil temple, which is why she has been wandering in the human world...” the Queen of the Netherworld explained seriously.
”So she was disguising herself as a human to run away from her sisters, while searching for someone that could contend against them?” Mo Fan asked.
”Mm, there's something I should tell you too. She's now extremely weak because of her soul's injuries, and there's some kind of spiritual bond between her and her sisters. Therefore, her sisters should be aware of her condition. It's unlikely they will leave the evil temple, but the other Medusae might hunt her down to appease the sisters,” the Queen of the Netherworld warned him.
”That makes a lot of sense,” Mo Fan nodded.
The law of the jungle was applicable in every species. Apas' soul was severely injured. Normally, she would only have to worry about her own safety if her sisters were coming after her, but now that she was in a bad shape and her strength was limited by the Contract because of her master's cultivation, many Ruler-level creatures would dare to fight her now!
”Therefore, since you've used all her strength to punish Ethan, you will have to deal with the upcoming trouble yourself,” the Queen of the Netherworld informed him.
”That's fine, punishing Ethan was more important. I'll take care of the rest… such a pity, I thought I would have control over the army of scorpions and snakes after making her my Contracted Beast, but I ended up attracting more enemies to me instead,” Mo Fan lamented.
”There's no free lunch in this world. Stop complaining; if you help her recover from her injuries as you become stronger, she will easily conquer a vast land for you in the future,” the Queen of the Netherworld declared.
”Of course I'm in bad shape now. I'm a phantom, my soul is my main source of energy. I would like to find a peaceful place and rest for a few dozen years to recover my strength...” the Queen of the Netherworld grunted.
”How can I help you?” Mo Fan was a little sorry for her.
”Sure, you must have heard how a ghost can nourish their Yin by taking the Yang of men. I've never tried it before. Why don't you volunteer yourself? I'll suck your Yang dry. I should be able to recover in no time!” Her eyes glittered hungrily.
”About that… I have a friend, his surname is Zhao, I believe he's a fan of the method you just mentioned. Why don't you ask him for help instead?” Mo Fan said.
”Humph, you were the one that offered to help!”

Mo Fan did not stay too long in Cairo, knowing that Apas might lure some powerful Medusae to him. He quickly packed his stuff and left after claiming his rewards.
The war would continue for some time, but they had no trouble leaving the city. Haken personally cleared a path and escorted Mo Fan out of the city.
