Faced with Zi Yan's fury, Xiao Yan understood completely. He had expected it long ago, and precisely because of that, he carefully soothed the enraged Zi Yan.
"Sooner or later, I have to chop off that beast's head and offer it in sacrifice to the ancestors of Ancient Dragon Island."
Zi Yan said angrily. Xiao Yan nodded wordlessly. This time, that was indeed what ought to be done.
After the meeting, Xiao Yan first went to purge Medusa of the Demonic Qi clinging to her body like maggots in the bone.
"...This time, thanks to you."
Medusa was silent for a moment, then spoke. Even now, her nature could not be considered particularly warm or proactive. For her to open her mouth this time was already an extremely rare thing.
Even Yao Wan could not help being somewhat surprised by Medusa's suddenly rather abrupt words. After a long while, she could not help gently shaking her head.
She smiled and said, "What are you saying? Then I should be thanking you too. If I had been alone, even if I had been lucky enough not to die in the Southernmost Land, I probably would have come back with only one breath left."
"You don't understand."
Medusa, however, gently shook her head. She did not dwell on it either, and followed Xiao Yan's footsteps to go heal first.
This time, her injuries were fewer than Yao Wan's, but after using her physical strength to forcefully withstand a blow from that worm-dragon with the cultivation of a Six Star Dou Sheng, Medusa could be said to be injured several degrees more heavily than Yao Wan. The fact that she still looked as if nothing had happened was purely because she was relying on the formidable constitution of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python
