BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 200: Alas, I am still too kind

Chapter 200: Alas, I am still too kind 

"Sir, I beg you to spare him!" Queen Medusa stood resolutely before the Elder, her usually composed voice now rare, laced with a hint of desperation.

A resounding roar reverberated as the Black Scaled Frigid Python glanced at Queen Medusa obstructing its path. Anger flashed in its massive pupils, and it opened its bloody mouth, releasing a thunderous roar.

Had it not been for the master's prior orders, it would have devoured its prey without hesitation. The creature's temperament inclined towards impulsivity, and it now struggled to resist the urge to swallow the present obstacle in one bite.

"Get out of the way!" The Black Scaled Frigid Python's roar echoed, its impatience evident.

This audacious interruption of its meal was unforgivable.

Feeling the perilous aura emanating from the Black Scaled Frigid Python, even the typically composed Queen Medusa paled.

"Sir, please spare the Snake Clan's Elder's life." Recognizing her inability to communicate with the creature, Queen Medusa turned her pleading gaze towards Gu He, who observed the scene from the void.

"Just now, you witnessed it. This old man initiated the conflict," Gu He remarked, crossing his arms with an innocent expression.

"Hmph, why didn't you intervene when this old man attacked earlier? Now you plead—it's too late!" Gu He sneered coldly at the pitiful Queen Medusa, feeling a sense of disdain.

"The Snake Clan's Elder was at fault initially. Apologize for him, and I hope you can be magnanimous enough to spare him this time." Queen Medusa humbled herself, her face expressing profound humility.

For the usually superior Queen Medusa, this moment brought undeniable humiliation. The Snake Clan's Elder, who had recently achieved the Martial Ancestor level, would constitute a significant loss for the Snake Clan if he were to meet his demise.

Therefore, despite the humiliation, Queen Medusa stepped forward to save him.

"Roar! Master, this man persists. I might as well swallow him in one bite," anxiously suggested the Black Scaled Frigid Python, fearing its master might agree to its proposal.

"Medusa, understand this principle: apologizing alone won't rectify the mistakes he has made," maintained Gu He with composure, his tone indifferent.

As the Black Scaled Frigid Python's ferocity increased, Queen Medusa became more anxious. Suddenly, she noticed the Snake Spirit Pearl in Gu He's hand and spoke hastily, "Sir, spare the Elder's life, and I am willing to offer our clan's sacred artifact."

"Sacred artifact?" Gu He momentarily paused, glancing at the green pearl in his hand. With a thought, he stored it in his ring. Finally, he looked at Queen Medusa and inquired, "Does your Snake Clan possess other sacred artifacts? Bring them forth, and I might consider your proposal if it's a worthy treasure."

Observing Gu He stow the Snake Spirit Pearl, Queen Medusa widened her eyes. Annoyance flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Your hand just happened to hold the Snake Spirit Pearl, our clan's sacred artifact."

"Oh, so you mean that little pearl from earlier was what I wanted?" Gu He pretended to realize.

Queen Medusa, restraining her anger, spoke in a low voice, "Spare the Elder's life, and I'll give you our clan's sacred artifact, the Snake Spirit Pearl."

Gu He shook his head and couldn't deny it. He said, "This bead is my trophy. The things in my hands are mine and have nothing to do with your snake clan."

"If Her Majesty wants to save this old man, she should show some sincerity," Gu He's tone was indifferent.

"You!"

Hearing this, Queen Medusa couldn't help but show her anger on her face, and her heart was bleeding.

That was the sacred artifact of her snake clan! It was directly swallowed by this guy.

Moreover, this guy took the sacred artifact and didn't plan to spare the elder.

At this moment, Queen Medusa felt extremely aggrieved.

If it weren't for considering the powerful snake clan behind her, Queen Medusa's proud temperament would not allow this thief to play around, even if she had to break free from the situation.

"What do you want, sir, in order to spare the elder?" Queen Medusa's expression remained icy.

Observing Queen Medusa's cold and arrogant demeanor, Gu He furrowed his brows, feeling dissatisfied.

What is wrong with this snake clan? How can they remain so arrogant at this stage? Don't they know how to seek help?

"I want nothing, I simply want to feed my pet," Gu He responded coldly, showing no kindness towards Queen Medusa, and then shouted at Hei Lin Hancang, "Hei Lin, what are you waiting for? Start eating!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Lin Hancang's eyes glistened, its massive body squirming as it prepared to break through Queen Medusa's defenses and devour the elder behind her.

"Hold on!"

Queen Medusa's face revealed panic, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her beautiful eyes. "I beg you to spare the elder's life. My snake clan is willing to agree to one condition of yours."

Noticing the change in Gu He's attitude, Queen Medusa also realized the dire situation faced by the snake clan. She set aside her pride, lowered her voice, and pleaded.

"Hei Lin, stop."

Upon hearing this, Gu He waved his hand and signaled for Hei Lin Hancang to cease its actions.

Hei Lin Hancang looked dejected.

Master, don't play with your mindset!

"Will you agree to any condition?" Gu He's face displayed a teasing expression as he glanced at Queen Medusa.

"As long as it's not too excessive, I am willing to agree," Queen Medusa carefully considered before responding, feeling a sudden tightness in her heart due to the mischievous expression on Gu He's face.

Hearing this, Gu He appeared somewhat disappointed.

Then, he looked at Queen Medusa and said indifferently, "Alright, I won't make it difficult for you."

"Let's make a deal. In exchange for sparing his life, I want one hundred sixth-grade spiritual medicines."

Gu He portrayed an attitude of magnanimity and emphasized that she had gained a significant advantage while speaking to Queen Medusa.

In fact, Gu He genuinely believed so.

Exchanging one hundred sixth-grade spiritual medicines for the life of a Martial Ancestor was undoubtedly a favourable deal.

Sigh, I'm just too kind-hearted.

"What did you just say?"

"One hundred sixth-grade spiritual medicines?"

Upon hearing Gu He's request, Queen Medusa was stunned, and anger instantly appeared on her beautiful face.

Queen Medusa glared at Gu He, gritting her teeth and exclaiming, "Sir, you have gone too far!"

Upon hearing this, Gu He raised his eyelids, glanced at Hei Lin Hancang, and said nonchalantly, "Hei Lin, it's time for a meal!"
