"Little Black, although you live here now, you still can't slack off."

"You must cultivate hard in your daily life and strive to grow stronger and take human form as soon as possible. You can't be lazy."

"Otherwise, watch out, or I'll throw you back into the desert. Do you understand?"

Medusa was brainwashing Ning Su.

She thought highly of Ning Su, because she could faintly sense that his bloodline was very strong.

If he cultivated in the future, perhaps he really could become an expert!

Ning Su could only nod his little head.

When under someone else's roof, one had no choice but to nod!

"Queen, the bathwater is ready."

At that moment, Hua She'er walked in.

"All right. Little Black, let's go bathe." Medusa held Ning Su and walked into the bathroom.

B-bathe?

Was it this exciting right from the start?

Medusa casually placed Ning Su on a rack nearby.

Then, with Hua She'er serving her, the clothes on her body were removed one by one, revealing a perfect, delicate figure.

Ning Su watched until he could only cry out that it was a feast for the eyes.

That chest, that waist, that skin.

Even if snakes were cold-blooded animals, Ning Su felt his blood heating up at this moment.

"Come over and soak with me."

Medusa grabbed Ning Su into the bathtub too, soaking together.

The water temperature was just right and felt very comfortable.

"You little thing definitely never soaked in a bath while you were in the desert. You need a proper wash."

Medusa held him and carefully scrubbed the scales on his body.

As for Ning Su, he rested his head on Medusa's chest and suddenly felt that he had no regrets left in this life.

So soft.

So comfortable!

Just like that, Ning Su stayed in the Snake-People Race as Medusa's pet.

Although he was a pet, Medusa actually did not have time to watch him every day.

The Snake-People Race was very busy, and Medusa had to handle matters big and small.

It was already very good that she could occasionally find time to come and see Ning Su.

She could not possibly bring Ning Su along even when she went to discuss affairs with the elders, could she?

So when Medusa was not around, Ning Su would also slip out of the Snake-People Race and go outside to devour some Magical Beasts to improve his cultivation.

Successfully devoured Third-Order "Iron-Walled Lizard," obtained "Body Secret Technique: Bronze Skin, Iron Bones"!

Successfully devoured Third-Order "Deadly Poison Widow Spider," obtained "Deadly Poison"!

Cultivation successfully raised to Three-Star Great Dou Master!

Cultivation successfully raised to Four-Star Great Dou Master!

Devouring Magical Beasts of the same level could make Ning Su break through faster.

However, there were not many Third-Order and Fourth-Order Magical Beasts in the desert. Most of them were only First-Order or Second-Order Magical Beasts.

Wanting to devour a Third-Order Magical Beast was something one could only stumble upon by luck.

After a busy day, Ning Su finally sneaked back into Medusa's bedchamber.

But the moment he entered, he was lifted up by a jade-like hand.

"Little Black, did you sneak out again?!"

Medusa accurately grabbed his vital spot.

Ning Su twisted his tail a little, but after it proved useless, he could only give up struggling.

"You little thing, every time you run out, you come back reeking of blood and filth. You don't even know to wash yourself."

As Medusa grumbled in disgust, she had Hua She'er bring over a basin of water and personally scrubbed Ning Su clean.

"Huh? How did you become a Four-Star Great Dou Master so quickly?"

Only then did she discover that Ning Su's cultivation had risen again.

Was this speed not too fast?

Back when she had brought Ning Su back, he had only been a Two-Star Great Dou Master.

It had not even been half a month, and he was already a Four-Star Great Dou Master?

Ning Su tilted his snake head and looked at her.

"Do you need to go out and eat things to break through?" Medusa asked again.

Ning Su hissed and nodded.

"This is the first time I've met one who can break through by eating. Then do you need to eat Magical Beasts?" Medusa asked again.

Ning Su continued nodding.

Medusa pondered for a moment, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Then, inspiration suddenly struck her.

"I've got it. Since you need to eat Magical Beasts to break through, I'll treat you to a feast tomorrow!"

What?

A feast??

Could it be...

Ning Su suddenly began to look forward to it.

Medusa brought Ning Su out of the Royal City and arrived in the desert.

"Little Black, wait here first."

She placed Ning Su on a rock, then flew away.

After a while, Medusa returned.

She had even caught a large group of Magical Beasts!

"Eat. Let's see how much you can eat."

Ning Su was dumbfounded.

This pile had to have at least forty or fifty of them, right? And they were all relatively small Magical Beasts, things like poisonous spiders, Poison Scorpions, poisonous centipedes, poisonous lizards, and so on.

All of them were Third-Order and Fourth-Order!

She understood him way too well, didn't she?

Ning Su did not stand on ceremony either and began to feast, one in each bite.

With the Sky Swallowing Art, his digestive ability was very strong. Basically, there would be no situation where he ate until he was stuffed.

These dozens of Magical Beasts were all devoured by him.

Successfully broke through to Five-Star Great Dou Master!

Successfully broke through to Six-Star Great Dou Master!

Successfully broke through to Five-Star Dou Ling!

Ning Su's cultivation rose by a large chunk in one breath.

As his cultivation broke through, his size also grew quite a bit. From only about one meter long at the beginning, he had now become two meters long!

Medusa watched with her own eyes as he ate all the Magical Beasts, then his cultivation rose star by star, even faster than drinking water.

"Little Black, you really can break through just by devouring Magical Beasts?"

This was the first time she had seen a Magical Beast with this kind of ability.

Did that not mean he could just keep eating and eating and break through nonstop?

"Wait here. I'll go catch a few higher-level Magical Beasts for you."

This day was a nightmare for the Magical Beasts in the desert.

Medusa caught a few more Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

Ning Su refused none of them and devoured them all.

His cultivation successfully broke through to Nine-Star Dou Ling!

Burp~

Awesome!

Too awesome!

Sure enough, deciding to follow Medusa back then had been the right choice!

If Ning Su had had to search for prey in the desert by himself, who knew how long it would have taken him to devour this many Magical Beasts?

Now Medusa had helped him catch so many Magical Beasts in a single day, making his cultivation speed increase by who knew how many times.

Sure enough, mooching was still the tastiest!

And mooching off the Queen tasted even better!

"Nine-Star Dou Ling. Too fast!" Medusa exclaimed in repeated surprise.

Unfortunately, the higher Ning Su's cultivation became, the stronger the Magical Beasts he needed to devour.

Now, Third-Order and Fourth-Order Magical Beasts no longer had much energy for him.

As for Fifth-Order Magical Beasts... it was not that the desert had none, but their whereabouts were uncertain, and even Medusa might not necessarily be able to catch one.

In the end, Ning Su's cultivation could only regrettably stop at Nine-Star Dou Ling, still one step away from Dou Wang.

But this was already extremely exaggerated.

In a single day, he had broken through from Great Dou Master to Nine-Star Dou Ling!

Something Medusa had not even dared to imagine had been accomplished by Ning Su.

"Little Black, I didn't expect you to be this amazing!"

She held Ning Su in her arms, overjoyed.

"It seems our Snake-People Race will soon have another new Dou Wang."

With the aptitude Ning Su currently displayed, forget Dou Wang; in the future, he might even become a Dou Emperor!

Medusa increasingly felt that she had picked up a treasure.

She had to keep Ning Su by her side and take good care of him!
