Sharing a Bed with Medusa

Ning Su was a little excited.

Because this was his first time sharing a bed with Medusa.

He even felt like a consort chosen by the emperor to attend him in bed. Why was he a little nervous?

And Medusa herself was a Queen. To receive her permission counted as being chosen by her too.

Of course, Ning Su was only letting his thoughts run wild.

Right now, he was only a snake.

Medusa... counted as half a snake right now, didn't she?

Some things could not be done. They were not appropriate.

"All right, get into bed and sleep."

After Medusa finished washing up, she changed into loose pajamas and lay down on the bed.

Ning Su obediently climbed up and curled his body beside Medusa.

He could even smell the fragrance on her body from having just bathed. It was warm and pleasant.

"Little Black, tomorrow I have to go out for a while. Stay here obediently by yourself and don't run around. If you go out to eat, remember to come back after you're done."

Medusa gently stroked Ning Su's scales.

She really liked the feel of them, and she also liked Ning Su's scent—the Sky-Swallowing Python clan all carried a strange fragrance.

Although Ning Su's bloodline still was not very strong, he also had a faint fragrance that Medusa found very pleasant.

"Did you hear me?"

Seeing that he did not react, Medusa said it again.

Ning Su had no choice but to nod in response.

He really wanted to slack off a little, but not responding was not even allowed.

"As long as you know. Sleep."

So Ning Su crawled onto Medusa and rested his head on her chest.

So big!

So soft!

Now this was comfortable!

"You little thing, you even know this is the softest and most comfortable spot."

Medusa flicked Ning Su's head in annoyance, but she did not move him away. She let him obediently lie there and sleep.

Early the next morning, before Ning Su had woken up, Medusa left.

Ning Su only woke up because the softness he had been resting on disappeared.

"She went out so early. I wonder where she went."

He muttered softly.

If it were only a matter within Royal City, Medusa would choose to bring Ning Su along.

She could even bring Ning Su with her when reporting matters to several elders, let alone for anything else.

But now Medusa was unwilling to take him along. It seemed what she was going to do was probably not simple.

"What if I don't really want to move?"

Usually, Medusa liked to carry Ning Su around.

Now that no one was carrying him, he did not even want to move by himself.

Tagor Desert.

Medusa flew alone to a sand dune.

"Is it here?"

She looked deep beneath the desert. From below, a faint, unprecedented scorching aura radiated out, making the already blazing desert even more unbearably hot and dry.

But Medusa did not hesitate for long. After her hands quickly formed several seals, she transformed in a flash into a huge purple serpent and burrowed down into the depths of the desert.

She forcibly drilled a tunnel beneath the desert!

After rapidly shuttling through the desert several times, Medusa finally arrived at a scorching Underground Magma World.

"This is..."

Medusa looked in astonishment at the vast Underground Magma World before her.

At the very center of the magma, a Flame Green Lotus was quietly growing and gestating.

The temperature of the surrounding flames was all radiating from that green lotus.

"This is... a Heavenly Flame!"

Medusa's gaze grew unprecedentedly grave.

A Heavenly Flame!

This kind of product nurtured by heaven and earth, representing incomparably violent power, was the absolute bane of their Snake-People Race!

Not only the Snake-People Race.

Almost any Magical Beast facing a Heavenly Flame would be innately restrained by it.

Only if one's strength reached a certain height would it be possible not to fear a Heavenly Flame.

But with Medusa's current strength, she still could not become immune to Heavenly Flames.

Even merely standing here now, she could feel the pressure rushing toward her.

Yet Medusa now had no choice but to face the Heavenly Flame.

"According to the ancient records of the race, when the Snake-People Race bloodline faces a bottleneck, if there is a Heavenly Flame, one can take the risk of being reborn through fire, using the Heavenly Flame to strike at the final shackle."

"Now, the Heavenly Flame is right in front of me..."

Medusa knew the risk of using a Heavenly Flame to evolve was extremely high. The slightest mistake could leave her body destroyed and soul scattered.

However, the Snake-People Race was now surrounded by enemies on all sides, and their living environment had been greatly compressed.

If they did not seek a breakthrough soon, then in the end, they would definitely be oppressed and exploited by the great empires, until finally their entire race was exterminated!

With Medusa's aptitude, as long as she was given a little more time, breaking through to Dou Zong would definitely not be a problem.

But she did not dare take the gamble.

Because she did not know whether she would break through first, or whether the great empires would make their move first.

So she could only choose the riskier method and use the Heavenly Flame to break through!

"Heavenly Flame, this Queen will take you back!"

Determination and stubbornness appeared in Medusa's eyes as her hands quickly formed several seals.

"Seven-Colored Seal, open!"

A triangular seal immediately appeared around the Green Lotus Core Flame, sealing it inside.

The Green Lotus Core Flame also sensed the threat and began continuously releasing flames, trying to burn away the barrier.

"Don't even think about breaking through the seal!"

Medusa bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of bloody mist to strengthen the barrier, sealing the Green Lotus Core Flame in one burst of effort.

But when she reached out to take it, a tongue of flame suddenly attacked, striking Medusa's tail hard and instantly leaving behind a charred wound.

Several scales even fell to the ground.

Enduring the intense pain, Medusa plucked out the Green Lotus Core Flame, then quickly returned the way she had come.

"Little Black, come eat."

Hua She'er brought over a portion of normal food—although Ning Su could devour Magical Beasts to raise his cultivation.

But that texture was really not great.

If it was only to fill his stomach, Ning Su still preferred normal human food.

Hua She'er knew this too, so the usual three meals a day were proper food.

Ning Su slightly raised his head and flicked out his tongue, expressing his thanks to Hua She'er.

Then he climbed onto the table and ate elegantly.

"Little Black is so good."

Hua She'er could not help reaching out to stroke his head.

Let alone Medusa, even Hua She'er had come to like Ning Su.

He was simply too adorable, and he was polite too, and understood human speech.

Where could one find a pet like this?

At this moment, a scorched aura burst into Royal City from outside and headed straight for the Forbidden Land.

Hua She'er froze for a moment, then reacted.

"The Queen is back!"

"But why did she go straight to the Forbidden Land? And the Queen's aura seems very chaotic."

Hua She'er was Medusa's personal guard. Usually, she was not only responsible for the palace's safety, but also for personally taking care of Medusa.

So she understood Medusa very well. With this aura now, the first thing she thought of was that something might have happened to Medusa.

"Little Black, let's go take a look at the Queen."

Ning Su nodded. Hua She'er immediately picked him up and rushed toward the Forbidden Land...
