Medusa Visits at Midnight, Xiao Yi Xian Lies Quietly in Bed

"Amethyst Winged Lion King."

Su Yun spoke calmly, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately flew over.

"Master!"

With the three nations invading, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was, after all, a Sixth-tier Magical Beast. When the army set out, Su Yun had brought it along.

Su Yun placed Xiao Yi Xian on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back.

"Take Xian'er back to camp and look after her properly until I return.

"If anything happens to Xian'er..."

A cold glint flickered in Su Yun's eyes.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King shuddered all over and hastily promised, "I will not let anything happen to Young Master!"

"Mm."

Su Yun waved it away.

With all the Dou Zong combatants of the three nations dead, the allied armies of the three nations collapsed, and everything that followed became much simpler.

Under Su Yun's lead, the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe pressed their advantage, killing many Dou Huang experts from the three nations. The battle ended in a resounding victory.

Black Sky City, City Lord's Residence.

The smoke of war had yet to disperse, and the setting sun was blood-red. Though the battle had only just ended, a grim, bloody aura lingered in the air. Everyone present looked weary, but joy flashed across their faces.

This battle had been won beyond all expectations—and it had been a great victory. Most importantly, the defeated three nations' interests would be divided among them, the victors.

Naturally, Su Yun would take the lion's share, but even if they merely drank some soup behind him, they would still make a fortune.

"Chu Yun Empire is mine," Su Yun said calmly.

"Yes!"

Yun Yun and the others had no objections. Without Su Yun, this battle could never have been won. Besides, as a poison-attributed Dou Zong, it was only natural for him to take the entire Chu Yun Empire.

Mittel Tengshan beamed. Barring any surprises, Lord Su Yun would entrust the Chu Yun Empire to the Mite'er Family to manage.

Su Yun nodded. "Medusa."

"Mm."

Medusa's expression was cold and proud, drawing everyone's gaze.

Could it really be as the rumors said? Had this noble, icy beauty already submitted at Su Yun's feet?

Medusa extended a jade finger and drew a red circle on the map. The expressions of the crowd varied as they looked at the area she had marked.

Yun Yun remained impassive. Hai Bodong and Fa Ma looked conflicted, while Mittel Tengshan took pleasure in their misfortune. Only the eldest princess, Yao Ye, changed expression.

"The Magical Beast Mountain Range belonging to the Luo Yan Empire and Mu Lan Empire will belong to my Snake-People Race...

"Mm, and the adjoining Miasma Forest as well. Though it lies within Jia Ma Empire territory, it is well suited for the Snake-People to live in, so it will also belong to my race."

Yao Ye bit her pearly teeth. "That is Jia Ma Empire territory!"

"Little girl, this Queen is not discussing it with you. I am informing you."

Medusa spoke coolly, her manner and bearing somewhat similar to Su Yun's.

"Yes..."

Yao Ye's face was humiliated, but she could only cede the land in pain, not daring to voice the slightest complaint.

Because the Imperial Family's greatest support—her great-grandfather—had died in battle!

During the earlier battle, Jia Xing Tian had been jointly besieged by several Dou Huang experts and tragically perished. Even his corpse had been torn into several pieces!

Had the Imperial Family not still possessed the aging guardian Magical Beast, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast, even its rule over the Jia Ma Empire might have been overturned.

Su Yun said, "The Snake-People Race may claim its territory, but do not slaughter the common people at will. Drive them away as the main course of action."

Helping the Snake-People Tribe relocate had been agreed upon long ago. Su Yun could not possibly stand up for the Imperial Family.

"Fine."

Medusa agreed.

Next came Fa Ma and Yun Yun, the two Dou Huang experts, but both were rather detached from worldly affairs.

Yun Yun merely hoped Su Yun would permit the Misty Cloud Sect to recruit disciples within the three nations, while Fa Ma turned the Alchemist Guilds of the three nations into branches of the Jia Ma Empire.

"I want..."

Afterward, Nalan Jie, Mu Chen, and the others spoke up one after another, launching into a shouting match over the remaining scraps of profit.

Su Yun sat at the head of the table, finding the scene rather amusing.

Dou Wang experts were already among the upper ranks in the Jia Ma Empire. It was rare to see them curse like common streetfolk.

By the time everything had settled, it was already late at night.

Su Yun returned to his room and took out three Storage Rings, each belonging to a Dou Zong from the three nations.

Even Yan Luotian, whose body had been reduced to ashes by the Nether Poison Flame, had had his Storage Ring preserved because Su Yun had deliberately controlled the firepower.

The collections of Dou Zong experts were valuable even to Su Yun.

"Three Beasts Savage Art, the Myriad Scorpion Sect's inherited poison arts, and the method for crafting the Nine Heavenly Goose Wings..."

Although Su Yun had dismissed the Three Beasts Savage Art as worthless, it was still an Earth-Tier Mid-Grade Cultivation Method. It was highly sought after in the Northwest Continent; if put up for auction, even Dou Zong experts would be tempted.

The Myriad Scorpion Sect's inherited cultivation methods and Dou Techniques included several Earth-Tier ones, and they were poison-attributed. Su Yun found them interesting, so he kept them as well.

But the greatest gain from this battle was undoubtedly the method for crafting the Nine Heavenly Goose Wings.

"Actually, among the identity and abilities I originally fabricated, I should have possessed the method for creating Flying Dou Techniques.

"Unfortunately, when I manifested my character in Qingshan Town, there was no corresponding catalyst, so that ability did not manifest successfully...

"Now that I have obtained this, it happens to complete my persona."

Su Yun's brows relaxed.

As a great liar... no, as a sage who toyed with the world, what he feared most was having his lies exposed. This had come at just the right time.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Su Yun's expression shifted slightly. The joy on his face quietly faded, replaced by calm.

"Come in."

"Bang."

The doors were pushed open.

Medusa entered with graceful steps, wrapped in a crimson brocade robe. The material was exceedingly thin and clung tightly to her skin, outlining the exquisite curves of her slender waist and round hips. Beneath the high slit, a pair of jade legs appeared and disappeared with every step.

"This Queen is leaving."

Medusa's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Relocating the Snake-People Race from the desert and sparing them from the scorching heat... that was the goal you worked so hard to cultivate for, even risking near-certain death to evolve your bloodline—something you would stake your life to achieve.

"Now that this wish is about to be fulfilled, why are you acting like some little woman?"

Su Yun smiled faintly.

Medusa immediately darkened her face and retorted, "What little woman? I am a Queen!"

"Then may I ask what important matter brought Her Majesty the Queen to my door in the middle of the night?"

Medusa's gaze fell upon the Scroll in Su Yun's hand.

"The Nine Heavenly Goose Wings... this Flying Dou Technique is quite formidable. When Yan Luotian spread those golden wings, even your Fire Butterfly could not catch him."

Su Yun nodded. "Mm, it is fairly good."

"Then why not..."

"When I find a suitable pair of wings in the future, I plan to forge a Flying Dou Technique for Xian'er.

"That child's cultivation is still too low. With such speed, I will be much more at ease when she travels the continent alone in the future."

The corner of Su Yun's lips curled upward.

Medusa was furious. How could this man have no sense of romance at all?!

"Still, if you want a pair, it is not impossible to give you one..."

"Who wants your things?"

At last, a smile appeared in Medusa's eyes. Her gaze shifted and inadvertently landed on the bed.

The girl lay there like a painting, her temperament as tranquil as fresh tea in the mountains. Most eye-catching of all was her snow-white skin, so flawless that any woman would envy it.

Yet her chest rose and fell faintly. She slept peacefully as if in a dream, but there was still no sign that she would wake.

Medusa frowned slightly.

"Has this girl been asleep for too long?"
