Chapter 180 Leaving the Gama Empire
Just as Xiao Feng and Medusa were talking, a burst of light suddenly erupted from Medusa's body. After the light dissipated, Medusa, who had been sitting in front of Xiao Feng, disappeared and was replaced by the Eight-Colored Devouring Python.
Seeing this sudden change, Xiao Feng was also very confused. He originally thought that with his help, Medusa would no longer be unable to control her body and fight against the soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python. However, this situation still existed. Medusa had now turned into the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, or rather, the Eight-Colored Devouring Python.
Xiao Feng is now caught in a dilemma. He knows very well why Medusa is in this state, and he also knows how to solve the problem. A sixth-grade Spirit Fusion Pill would be enough. This matter is not a big deal for him at all.
However, a selfish thought suddenly arose in his mind. He was well aware of the distance between Medusa and him, and now was the best opportunity to bring the two of them closer. Although the soul of the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and the soul of Medusa were independent of each other, as long as they merged in the future, the soul of the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python would more or less affect Medusa.
There is a very prominent example in the original work. Because the Seven-Colored Devouring Python and Xiao Yan got along very well, Medusa was unable to bring herself to kill Xiao Feng and even developed feelings for Xiao Yan after taking the Fusion Pill and merging with the soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python. This is because the soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python was subtly changing Medusa's emotions.
If he continues to let things slide and maintains a friendly relationship with the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, he might be influenced when Medusa takes the Spirit Fusion Pill and their souls truly merge, thus quickly closing the distance between them.
This idea was a good thing for Xiao Feng, but it was indeed somewhat despicable, which was why he hesitated and had not made a decision for a long time.
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Feng took a deep look at the eight-colored swallowing python coiled in his hand and made a decision in his heart—he decided to give up on waking Medusa for the time being!
Although he understood that doing so might be somewhat despicable, shameless, and even selfish, everyone has selfish desires, just to varying degrees. Who doesn't consider their own needs? He was doing this entirely for his own future and to strive for his own happiness.
Of course, he also noticed the changes in Medusa's feelings for him. Since both of them were interested in each other, the only thing that was missing was breaking through the last barrier. Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for him to do this, and it was even uncertain which side would benefit the most.
That's why Xiao Feng made this decision. Otherwise, even if he had other ideas, he wouldn't have done it this way, because that would have been truly despicable!
Having made this decision, Xiao Feng also decided to leave. He didn't know when Medusa would be able to awaken again, and staying with the snake-people for too long would inevitably expose him. Although he was well aware of the opinions of the four elders of the snake-people, knowing that they couldn't wait to send Medusa to their beds, he believed that such matters should be kept secret as long as possible, since it wasn't something to be proud of.
Moreover, Xiao Feng is not an idle person; he has many things to do, so it is impossible for him to stay in the Snake-People tribe forever.
Having made up his mind, Xiao Feng approached the four elders again and told them that he and Medusa would be leaving for a while. The four elders, without suspicion, wholeheartedly agreed.
And so, Xiao Feng left the Snake-People tribe with the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and began his journey.
Xiao Feng did not go to Zhongzhou or the Xiao Clan. Now, Medusa is awake at some point. If she finds herself in a place she does not know, she will inevitably have some thoughts. So he took a break and traveled around the Northwest Continent for a while to experience the local customs and culture.
Leaving the Tagor Desert, Xiao Feng's first stop was the capital of the Gama Empire, which he was most familiar with.
The capital of the Gama Empire is the most prosperous and glorious place in the entire Gama Empire. Here, the realms of Dou Shi and Da Dou Shi are nothing special. Only Dou Ling, Dou Wang, and even Dou Huang represent absolute strength.
Although the capital of the Jia Ma Empire is prosperous and bustling with people, few incidents occur. This is because it is the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, where not only the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire exists, but also the Yunlan Sect, the largest sect in the Jia Ma Empire!
The Mu family, the Nalan family, and the Mittel family all reside here. In addition, there is the transcendent Alchemist Guild, which is revered by countless people, and the true masters of the Gama Empire—the royal family of the Gama Empire!
Throughout the entire Gama Empire, the capital city can be considered the safest place.
The Xiao family was once a powerful force here, but fate is unpredictable. The once mighty Xiao family was destroyed and reduced to a small border town, which inevitably makes people sigh.
However, the other major families might not think the same way about the Xiao family. The Xiao family's departure means that they can obtain the benefits that originally belonged to the Xiao family. This would naturally be a good thing for them, and their overall strength would be enhanced as a result.
This is why the capital city is a place where hidden talents abound. No one knows the identity of the person they have offended, let alone the identities behind them. Therefore, people here are generally cautious to avoid causing trouble for no reason.
But today, Xiao Feng has brought Medusa to the capital of the Gama Empire. What kind of waves will he stir up here?
Wandering aimlessly through the city, Xiao Feng appeared quite leisurely. His actions further convinced passersby that he was a member of a prominent family, and they all gave him a wide berth, afraid of accidentally bumping into him.
Before he knew it, Xiao Feng had arrived in the market town. However, he didn't care. After all, he was just traveling, so it didn't matter where he was.
Upon entering the market, Xiao Feng's first impression was of the crowds. Although the street was very wide, there were simply too many people. There were many vendors and pedestrians all around. Looking up, all he could see was a dense mass of figures, and he couldn't see anything else at all.
