Zi Yan: I Was Clearly Here First

"Let's forget about it," Xiao Ming shook his head and refused Zi Yan's suggestion.

As one of the Eight Great Elders Eight Great Elders the Pill Tower, he was a powerful elder, unlike his leisurely life as an elder at the Jia Nan Academy. He had to manage affairs in the Pill Tower.

Besides, he's been out for almost two months now. If he goes back to Ancient Dragon Island, when will he be able to return to Pill Tower?

After he and Zi Yan return, Zi Yan will most likely go into seclusion to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, so there's no point in him going with her.

Next, he needs to go into seclusion to break through to the Dou Zun. It doesn't matter where he breaks through, so he might as well go back to the Pill Tower. After breaking through, he still has some things to do, such as seizing Soul Origin.

Xiao Ming's refusal made Zi Yan pout in anger, and she opened her mouth to say something.

To her surprise, Xiao Ming simply tossed her a pair of Na Ring.

"It's filled with many pills."

"What!"

Zi Yan's face lit up with joy, and she quickly checked, finding that, as Xiao Ming had said, it was indeed filled with many pills.

Seeing Zi Yan's smiling face, Xiao Ming smiled faintly. With his current strength, refining these pills was a piece of cake for him; he could easily refine hundreds of bottles.

Zi Yan put away the Na Ring, nodded, and smiled, "Alright, since you don't want to go back with me, Xiao Ming, then forget it. Sister Medusa, do you want to come back with me?"

"... I guess I'll pass," Medusa glanced at Xiao Ming and silently declined.

Medusa's actions puzzled Zi Yan. It was one thing for Xiao Ming to reject her, but why was Sister Medusa rejecting her too? And she even looked at Xiao Ming before rejecting him.

She remembered that Medusa and Xiao Ming didn't seem to have a very good relationship.

Zi Yan's little mind raced, then her expression suddenly changed.

Oh no! Could it be that Medusa and Xiao Ming are having an affair?!

Thinking of this, Zi Yan glanced at Medusa, whose figure was alluring and whose beauty was naturally captivating. She looked even more mature and charming than Xiao Yi Xian. She remembered that Xiao Ming liked big ones.

Zi Yan doesn't beat around the bush; she asks directly when she thinks of something.

"Medusa, what's your relationship with Xiao Ming?"

"... I'm sorry, I'm already pregnant with his child." Medusa was somewhat surprised that Zi Yan would suddenly ask this, but she had wanted to tell Zi Yan for a long time, so she remained silent for a moment before telling the truth.

"Damn it! I was here first, whether it's knowing Xiao Ming or anything else..." Zi Yan thought angrily when she realized she had guessed correctly.

It must be because of my body shape! Damn it! I knew Xiao Ming liked big ones, why have I never grown up!

Seeing Zi Yan's ever-changing expression, Xiao Ming tilted his head in confusion. Could it be that Zi Yan was jealous?

Medusa's eyes darted away.

When are you going back?

"Hmph, immediately, right now." Zi Yan wrinkled her nose and snorted.

Having finished speaking, she raised her jade hand and gently made a slash, and the void automatically cracked open, revealing endless Dark Void inside.

"Qing Lin, let's go!"

Zi Yan gave a greeting and stepped into the crevice.

"Yes, young master, I'm leaving." Qing Lin didn't want to leave Xiao Ming, but she knew that Xiao Ming's arrangement was for her own good, so she could only obey. After saying goodbye to Xiao Ming, she followed Zi Yan into the crevice.

After Zi Yan and Qing Lin entered the spatial rift one after the other, the spatial rift gradually healed and soon returned to its original state, completely erasing their traces.

"The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's use of space is truly extraordinary." Looking at the restored space, Venerable Tian Huo said, then asked.

"Xiao Ming, what should we do next?"

"Let's rest for a day first, then return to Pill Tower."

A moment later, Xiao Yi Xian and Venerable Tian Huo left, while Medusa remained motionless.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Xiao Ming glanced at Medusa, not believing that Medusa had stayed to be intimate with him. He hadn't touched her since Medusa, so he figured she must have something to say.

On the chair, Medusa parted her red lips slightly, and a seductive voice rang out.

"It's about our children."

At this point, Xiao Ming's expression became more serious.

"Our Snake People Race possesses an exceptionally powerful Medusa Bloodline. Therefore, even while the infant is still in the womb, it requires countless elixirs and miraculous medicines to nourish it. As a result, the infant will be even more powerful and possess terrifying potential after birth."

"According to the clan's Secret Technique, the nurturing of Medusa infants is divided into three levels: superior, middle, and inferior. Infants nurtured using these three levels also have different potentials. Infants nurtured using inferior Secret Technique will only reach the Dou Emperor level if they don't have a great opportunity in the future. Infants nurtured using middle Secret Technique have the potential to reach the Dou Zong level, while those nurtured using superior Secret Technique are even stronger."

"Within three years, we must undergo Secret Technique nourishment process. You are aware of the situation of my Snake People Race. You are, after all, the father of this child, so I want you to refine the Seventh Grade Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill needed for a superior Secret Technique, to prepare for the child's future."

"Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill?" Xiao Ming repeated, then shook his head and said, "This pill is only seventh-grade. You're underestimating me too much. I'm Eighth Grade Grandmaster now."

Medusa understood Xiao Ming's meaning, and her eyes brightened slightly.

So what you mean is...?

"I will refine some Grade 8 Pill for you to help you Foundation Building and Origin Cultivation. These pills are suitable for both mother and child, and will also benefit you. The fetus in your womb can also Perfect Foundation Building."

Xiao Ming was naturally not stingy with the child in Medusa's womb. He had already secretly searched for several Eighth-Grade Pill Formula pill formulas for Foundation Building and Origin Cultivation and Yuan Cultivation. During this trip to the Dou Sheng Ruins, he also found all the medicinal herbs he needed in the Medicine Garden. Once he broke through to Dou Zun, he could start refining the pills.

Medusa looked at Xiao Ming with tenderness in her eyes upon hearing this. Although she had children with Xiao Ming only to get rid of the influence of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, she couldn't help but be happy now that Xiao Ming valued their child so much.

Moreover, no matter what, Xiao Ming is Medusa's man, and her only man in the future. Although the two had conflicts in the early stages, those things are in the past, and Xiao Ming has treated her well since then. Medusa's feelings have gradually changed.

"Since you've made your decision, I have no objection. However, could you tell me what kind of elixir you want to refine?"

"The Beginning Pill, the Chaos Heaven Pill, the Wisdom Generating Pill, the Nine Origin Nourishing Aperture Pill, Pure Yang Condensing Origin Pill —these are all Eighth Grade. What do you think? If that's not enough, I can find more."

"That's enough, you don't really need that many." Medusa's originally somewhat aloof face had softened considerably.

"These past few days at the Dou Sheng Ruins have been quite tiring, so you should get some rest."
