Warmth with Medusa

How have you been feeling living here lately?

Xiao Tian reached out and lightly tapped the water, causing ripples to spread across the surface. Then, lying on the Lotus Throne, he casually asked...

"It's alright, there's a lot of energy here, which is very useful for my cultivation. I occasionally go there to do some practice in the Trial Tower."

Medusa glanced at Xiao Tian lying beside her, her eyes flickering with a barely perceptible emotion.

She didn't finish her sentence; the second half she silently said to herself: Here, I experienced many things I had never experienced before.

Having someone to chat with, train with, or even show concern for you is the most important thing...

"That's good. If you like it, you can stay here. You'll always have a place here."

The two chatted casually afterward, and Xiao Tian explained the various things in the Inner Academy to Medusa, Medusa also told her about her past.

The atmosphere was incredibly warm and comforting, and Xiao Tian, feeling completely relaxed, slowly drifted off to sleep.

Medusa also sensed that Xiao Tian had fallen asleep, and turned her head to look at his sleeping face.

His face looked especially gentle in his sleep.

Medusa's gaze towards Xiao Tian held a tenderness she herself was unaware of. She gently waved her hand, and the surrounding temperature seemed to become even more comfortable and conducive to sleep.

She looked at Xiao Tian, her mind filled with countless thoughts. She had thought that her life would only consist of cold battles, lonely chills, and the mission to protect her people.

Until the appearance of this man, her world became much more colorful. After meeting him, she felt care, love, and friendship that she had never experienced before.

Sometimes I even feel a sense of loss, as if all of this is unreal, something I never dared to imagine before.

She watched Xiao Tian sleeping quietly. Yun Yun stood on the terrace of her palace, looking at the two people in the lake with a maternal smile, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"One has the desire to steal but lacks the courage, the other is arrogant and has many thoughts in his mind. Now, there's finally some good progress."

The relationship between these two is as obvious as Sima Zhao's intentions, yet they seem to have tacitly avoided taking that step. As an observer, I can't help but feel anxious for them.

Medusa didn't notice Yun Yun. No one chose to release any senses here, so it was absolutely safe. If someone harbored murderous intent towards her, the will of the Small World would automatically notify her.

Medusa looked at the sleeping Xiao Tian and, as if possessed, reached out her finger to touch his face, but stopped abruptly just before her finger touched him.

Her heart started racing for no reason, and she was filled with inner turmoil and hesitation. Her fingers remained frozen in mid-air.

Seeing Medusa's appearance made Yun Yun anxious, and she kept shouting in her heart, "Don't hesitate, or you will be defeated."

But she couldn't recall that she had done the same thing before.

Medusa hesitated for a long time, but finally gently placed her fingers on Xiao Tian's cheek.

The moment his fingers touched her skin, Xiao Tian felt the warmth and smoothness of her cheek.

A subtle feeling welled up in his heart, making his heart tremble. His eyes widened slightly, as if he were immersed in some kind of wonderful sensation.

Just then, Xiao Tian, who was fast asleep, seemed to sense something was wrong and gently moved his head.

Medusa recoiled as if electrocuted, staring at him nervously, afraid he would discover her action.

Seeing that Xiao Tian hadn't been woken up, Medusa breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling the feeling of her fingers touching Xiao Tian's cheek just now, her face unconsciously flushed slightly.

Slowly, I looked into the distance, trying to calm myself down.

The moment she turned her head, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Tian's lips as he slept, before vanishing instantly.

Once Medusa calmed down, she stopped cultivating and instead looked at Xiao Tian and then into the distance, though she spent more time looking at Xiao Tian.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tian's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Medusa knew that Xiao Tian was about to wake up, so she quickly adjusted her body and expression, pretending to be cultivating.

Xiao Tian opened his eyes, his dormant consciousness returning. He looked around at his surroundings, then at Medusa cultivating beside him, a heartwarming smile appearing on his face.

"How long did I sleep?" Xiao Tian sat up, put his hands behind his neck and turned them around a few times, making a crackling sound. Finally, he stretched and looked at her cold and sexy face.

"About two hours, I'm not entirely sure, I was cultivating."

Medusa slowly stopped her feigned cultivation movements and turned to look at him.

"It's been so long! I've caught up on my sleep and feel great. Thank you, Fei Yan. I slept very soundly."

Xiao Tian sensed that the temperature here had been altered, clearly done by Medusa.

"This is the price you pay for your womanizing. Who knows, you might die in bed one day, humph."

Medusa gave a soft hum, slowly turning her face away to look elsewhere, concealing the complex emotions in her eyes.

As the king of the Serpent Clan, she was proud, and she still couldn't fully accept the idea of sharing a husband with another.

This is also why I've never been able to face my own inner self.

Because of this incident, I was unable to concentrate fully on my cultivation, and it even greatly affected my practice.

"I'm a loyal man. You're definitely not talking about me."

"You call yourself devoted? What about them then? Do I have to list them all for you? You didn't hook up with other girls at the Academy, did you?"

Medusa looked at Xiao Tian with disdain, as if to say, "Keep making this up, I'm listening."

"Yes, I've always been devoted to you stunning beauties."

Xiao Tian stood up, a teasing smile on his face.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Medusa's narrow purple eyes widened in surprise. She had never expected Xiao Tian Xiao Tian to be so shameless, and she raised her foot to kick him.

"Fei Yan, be more ladylike, you'll expose yourself like this."

Xiao Tianyi grabbed Medusa's foot, touched it briefly in her incredulous gaze, and then let go.

He quickly took a step back, and then his figure gradually faded and disappeared before Medusa's eyes.

"It's quite slippery, haha~"

Medusa was stunned into standing still by Xiao Tian's actions.

Once she came to her senses, Medusa stood up and gently punched the water's surface where Xiao Tian had been standing.

"That philandering scoundrel, shameless..."

As she continued her tirade, a smile appeared on Medusa's face, a smile that made the surrounding flowers seem to lose their color in an instant.

Xiao Tian reappeared in the Inner Academy Forest. Recalling his feelings just now, he was in high spirits and a smile kept appearing on his face.

He glanced at the forest and realized he had obtained the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk he had been looking for, as well as a considerable amount of medicinal herbs. He decided he couldn't refine Sixth Grade Pill in the Inner Academy; it would be too noisy.

I have to run away after each refining, otherwise if those old men in the Inner Academy find out, they'll cause me a lot of trouble. They'll try to bribe me to refine medicine for them, but that's too time-consuming.

However, we can try this when we're short of medicinal herbs in the future.

Those old guys have quite a rich collection.

I'll come back to this forest next time with a humanoid treasure-hunting device.

Xiao Tian found his direction and flew back towards the Inner Academy Residential Area.

It flew straight across the road and landed in the attic where it lived.

There are no rules against flying in the Inner Academy, so you can do whatever you want without worry.

"Hu Niu, where's Xun'er?"
