Medusa Being Urged to Conceive by the Elders to Her Face

After a night of indulgence, Gu Shenge and Medusa tangled in a fierce battle that lasted for quite some time, wearing through several pairs of Balenciaga. Even though the Snake-Person Queen had reached the realm of a Dou Ancestor and possessed immense strength, she was no match for Gu Shenge and eventually suffered defeat.

At dawn, thin, wispy rays of morning sunlight filtered through the palace windows, spilling onto the bed as if draping a layer of golden rice husks over the couple sleeping in each other's arms.

Medusa's beautiful, long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. What greeted her was Gu Shenge's handsome and heroic face. Looking down, she saw the strawberry marks she had left on his neck and collarbone the night before, standing out prominently.

At the thought of last night's indulgence and madness, a flush of red climbed onto Medusa's pretty face. A hint of shyness flickered in her eyes, but it quickly faded, replaced by her usual coldness and majesty.

She raised a jade hand, gently stroking Gu Shenge's chest, and murmured, "Gu, remember what you promised me. If you ever betray me, even if it means we both perish, I will kill you."

"Your husband would naturally never fail his beloved wife."

Suddenly, Gu Shenge's voice rang in Medusa's ear. His hand wrapped around her slender, enchanting, and perfect snake waist, pulling her into his embrace. She pressed tightly against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.

Medusa looked up, gazing into Gu Shenge's eyes, which were filled with affection. Thinking of his "flogging" from the night before, she let out a soft huff, broke free from his embrace, and sat up. She turned her fair, jade-like back toward Gu Shenge, unwilling to pay him any mind.

Seeing his wife suddenly throwing a tantrum and ignoring him, Gu Shenge was a bit confused. He also sat up, pressed against Medusa's jade back from behind, and wrapped his arms around her. He buried his head in her beautiful hair, inhaling her faint scent, and let his palms stroke her delicate body, teasing her while softly asking.

"Why is my beloved wife acting this way? Where did I offend you?"

Feeling Gu Shenge's small movements, Medusa raised her hand to lightly pat away his wandering palms and coldly questioned him.

"Hmph! You tell me. Where is the dowry you promised me?"

Hearing that it was about the betrothal gifts, Gu Shenge quickly apologized to his wife: "It was my oversight, my beloved wife, do not be angry."

With that, he released Medusa and took out the dowry for her, Yue Mei, and Hua She'er from his System Space.

The Origin Points of the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, the Origin Points of the Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python, the Emperor-Tier Cultivation Technique Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Record, the Heaven-Tier Low-Grade Cultivation Technique Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring Spirit Art, the Profound-Tier High-Grade Dou Technique Wild Snake Spirit Dance, one Heaven Soul Blood-Melting Pill, two Top-Grade Emperor-Breaking Pills, and two Top-Grade Dou Ling Pills.

Gu Shenge pushed this mountain of gifts toward Medusa, leaving it to her to decide how to distribute them. He hadn't kept a single thing for himself; the extra Top-Grade Emperor-Breaking Pill was something he had added personally so that Yue Mei and Hua She'er could share.

"Is my beloved wife satisfied? To marry you, I've emptied my entire fortune. From now on, you'll have to support me."

Listening to Gu Shenge's complaints, Medusa didn't believe a word of his nonsense.

"Are these the dowries for Yue Mei and Hua She'er?"

She pointed at the other items, and Gu Shenge nodded, explaining them to Medusa one by one.

Medusa: "The Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Origin Points, who are they for?"

Gu Shenge: "Yue Mei's."

Seeing that there were no Origin Points for Hua She'er, Medusa didn't ask further and waved her hand, storing all the items into her Storage Ring.

"Beloved wife, that Heaven Soul Blood-Melting Pill must not go to waste. We must work hard from here on out."

As he spoke, Gu Shenge's words carried a hidden meaning. He looked at Medusa's flat, smooth abdomen and revealed a wicked smile.

Medusa rolled her eyes at him, full of charm, and ignored him, getting out of bed to get dressed.

Gu Shenge watched his wife's slender figure, leaning back on the bed with great satisfaction. With a wife like this, what more could a man ask for?

As for having children, the stronger the cultivation and the more unique the constitution of a living being, the harder it was to conceive. Once Medusa merged with the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python Origin Points and evolved into a Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, it would be even harder for them to have children in the future.

Unless they used some secret techniques.

After Medusa left, Gu Shenge also changed his clothes. He took out the Tier 6 Alchemist Manual he had obtained earlier from his System Space.

The so-called manual was actually the inheritance of a Tier 6 Alchemist. It recorded numerous pill formulas from Tier 1 to Tier 6, as well as alchemy techniques and various precautions, all in great detail.

If a Tier 5 Alchemist were to obtain this manual and study it diligently, breaking through to become a Tier 6 Alchemist in a short time would be no problem.

However, the requirements to become an alchemist were quite strict. First, one had to have a fire attribute, but it couldn't be a pure fire attribute; it had to carry a trace of wood attribute. Furthermore, one had to possess soul perception far beyond that of an ordinary person.

As Gu Shenge possessed the Solar Sacred Body, which was supreme, yang, and holy, without the slightest impurity of other attributes, the very first condition for an alchemist disqualified him.

However, he simply refused to believe it. Rules were meant to be broken.

"Yue Mei."

Gu Shenge called out softly, and Yue Mei, who had been waiting outside the palace, walked in and bowed respectfully.

"Wang Fu, do you have any orders?"

"Nothing, I just wanted you to accompany me for a walk outside."

Looking at the charming and stunning snake-woman before him, he reached out to pinch Yue Mei's alluring face, his fingers stroking her smooth cheeks. Tonight, he would let her and Hua She'er serve him; after all, one had to share the rain and dew equally.

Yue Mei nodded obediently, following behind Gu Shenge, keeping within three steps of him as he strolled through the Divine Temple.

After Medusa left the sleeping quarters, she arrived at the palace of the Four Great Elders. The First Elder observed that their Queen's gait was slightly off, and a strange look appeared in her cloudy, aged eyes, followed by a hint of satisfaction.

"Queen, it seems you have already consummated the marriage with the Wang Fu. I wonder what dowry the Wang Fu has given you?"

Medusa took out the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python Origin Points and the Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Record to show the elders, leaving the Four Great Elders in shock. It was no wonder their Queen had been so impatient to marry the Wang Fu; with such extravagant betrothal gifts, who wouldn't be tempted?

"I intend to go into seclusion to merge with the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python Origin Points. The affairs of the Snake-People Tribe will be left to the elders for the time being."

"The Queen may rest assured in her seclusion; we will certainly guard the Snake-People Tribe well."

The First Elder nodded, telling Medusa to focus on her seclusion. As long as no Dou Ancestor-level experts attacked, their old bones had nothing to fear from the Dou Emperors of the Jia Ma Empire or the Chu Yun Empire.

Besides, the Snake-People Tribe still had the young Dou Emperor, the Wang Fu, so there was even less to worry about.

The Fourth Elder, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Queen, this old woman has a secret recipe that can help you conceive quickly. You might as well give it a try."

The First Elder and the others chimed in, noting that the Fourth Elder's prescription had miraculous effects; many snake-women in the tribe who had struggled to conceive had become pregnant after taking her secret formula.

Hearing this, a flush of shyness appeared on Medusa's bewitching face, and she immediately refused in a cold voice, "There is no need, this Queen does not wish to conceive so soon."

Having said that, she fled in a panic, fearing that if she stayed any longer, the elders would find all sorts of ways to pressure her into pregnancy.

Watching Medusa's retreating figure, the elders all wore gratified smiles. Since getting married, their Queen seemed to have changed quite a bit; in the past, there was no telling how much she would have argued with them.

"Boss, it looks like you will have to delay your seclusion."

The Second Elder said to the First Elder. She nodded; she had originally prepared to take the Top-Grade Sect-Breaking Pill and enter seclusion to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm, but it seemed she would have to wait a while longer.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Shenge had run into trouble.
