"Heh~ You think you can marry this Queen just by relying on a Sect-Breaking Pill? You underestimate me too much!"
Although Medusa spoke with extreme disdain for the Sect-Breaking Pill, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill in Gu Shenge's hand.
With her experience, she recognized the Pill Patterns and Pill Glow on the pill, which only appeared on pills of the highest quality. She did indeed need a Sect-Breaking Pill, but that did not mean she would marry someone just for a single pill.
Gu Shenge naturally knew that one Sect-Breaking Pill could not manipulate Medusa. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill is merely the betrothal gift. As long as you are willing to marry me, I guarantee that the subsequent dowry will certainly not disappoint you."
Hearing this, Medusa let out a cold snort and questioned Gu Shenge, "Hmph! Aren't you afraid that I might kill you right now and snatch your Sect-Breaking Pill?"
"Would Your Majesty be so unwise?" Gu Shenge countered.
"What do you think?"
A scarlet, icy light flickered in Medusa's eyes. During her conversation with Gu Shenge, the injuries in her body had recovered by thirty to forty percent under the healing effect of the pill. Crimson Dou Qi surged, transforming into a giant python that coiled around her. It opened its blood-red maw and glared at Gu Shenge, as if it would devour him completely in the next moment!
Facing Medusa's threat, Gu Shenge remained calm and composed, showing no fear at all.
"Do you want to try?"
Provoked, Medusa became even more furious. "I want to see what kind of confidence you have to be so arrogant in front of me!"
Gu Shenge: "Do you want to try?"
This repeated counter-question greatly stimulated Medusa's nerves. A mere ant, daring to provoke this Queen in such a way!
The murderous intent in Medusa's eyes grew stronger. The giant python roared and hissed at Gu Shenge. The incoming killing intent ruffled his hair, the surrounding temperature dropped again and again, the bamboo forest shook uncontrollably, and ripples constantly spread across the calm lake, which began to condense a thin layer of frost.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare!"
Gu Shenge's expression remained calm, his voice indifferent. "That depends on Your Majesty's own choice. My suggestion is to reorganize your brain and reason before taking a second step."
"You!"
Medusa did not expect that she would be lectured by an ant, but seeing Gu Shenge so calm, without showing the slightest fear of her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gravity in her heart.
Being so fearless must mean there is a problem.
Whenever Medusa thought about how she had attacked Gu Shenge before, only for the attack to be reflected back twofold, a trace of fear arose in her heart. She was afraid that if she attacked Gu Shenge again, what would happen if the attack was reflected back at her?
The Snake-Person Queen suppressed her anger and dispersed the Dou Qi python, which caused Gu Shenge to reveal a faint smile.
"It seems Your Majesty has calmed down. So, what do you think about our deal?"
Having calmed down, Medusa said in a deep voice, "To marry this Queen, a single Sect-Breaking Pill is not enough."
Compared to the Sect-Breaking Pill, Medusa was actually more afraid that Gu Shenge would use the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to forcibly control her.
Since he was using the Sect-Breaking Pill as a betrothal gift, it wouldn't be too late to kill him after she obtained the pill and her injuries were fully healed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Medusa relented.
Seeing this, Gu Shenge's smile grew wider. He once again emphasized to the Snake-Person Queen that the Sect-Breaking Pill was only the betrothal gift, and there would be a dowry afterward.
"If Your Majesty is willing to marry me, you only need to nod."
The system's [Marry Wives and Take Concubines] function was very user-friendly. As long as the opposite-sex creature agreed to become Gu Shenge's wife or concubine, the function would activate and forge a Marriage Contract between the two parties.
After the Marriage Contract was concluded, the two parties could share thoughts and could not harm each other. Furthermore, if one party was injured, the other would also know. If they encountered a powerful enemy, they could summon the other party from a distance to help.
The most important point was that once Gu Shenge fell, his wives and concubines would also fall.
Commonly known as "being buried with him."
"Since it is a betrothal gift, give the Sect-Breaking Pill to this Queen first."
A cunning look flashed in Medusa's beautiful eyes as she extended her fair, tender hand to demand the Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill from Gu Shenge.
Gu Shenge did not hesitate and handed the Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill to Medusa to show his sincerity.
"How is it, Your Majesty? Are you satisfied?"
Medusa looked at the Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill in her hand, feeling slightly surprised. She hadn't expected it to be so easy to obtain.
After a long silence, the Snake-Person Queen stared at Gu Shenge, feeling unable to see through the person before her. Although her beauty was renowned throughout the Northwest Continent and many powerful figures had come to propose to her, no one had ever been as generous as Gu Shenge—treating even a Sect-Breaking Pill as merely a betrothal gift.
Medusa couldn't help but feel some interest in the dowry Gu Shenge spoke of.
However, for a mere ant to dare covet her was truly ignorant of life and death. Once she got the dowry, she would definitely annihilate Gu Shenge! She would scatter his ashes in the desert.
After all, this was just a transaction, and Medusa had done her fair share of killing the other party after a transaction was completed.
Having made up her mind, the Snake-Person Queen finally nodded and agreed to Gu Shenge.
"Since you are so sincere, I agree to marry you. But if your dowry does not satisfy me, I will still kill you!"
As Medusa agreed, a system prompt sounded in Gu Shenge's mind.
[Ding~ Detected that Queen Medusa is willing to marry the host. Does the host wish to marry her?]
"I do."
Only a fool wouldn't. He had wasted so much breath and even sacrificed a Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill; wasn't it all to marry Medusa and get the system rewards?
The five levels in the [Marry Wives and Take Concubines] function were not given randomly; they were evaluated based on the status and position of the opposite-sex creature.
For example, if Gu Shenge wanted to give Xiao Mei the position of primary wife, the system would not allow it; her virtue would not match the position.
[Ding~ The Marriage Contract is being signed...]
At the same time, a mysterious and magnificent ripple of laws emerged from within Gu Shenge, instantly enveloping him and Medusa as the Marriage Contract was forged deep within their souls.
[Ding~ Contract signed. Congratulations to the host for taking a primary wife. As this is your first time taking a wife, the rewards are super-doubled.]
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Flawless Sun Physique Origin, 1,000,000 Origin Points, and one Heaven-Grade Lottery.]
[Ding~ Betrothal gifts have been issued: Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python Origin, Emperor-Tier Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Record, and one Heaven Soul Blood-Melting Pill.]
"Holy crap!!"
After receiving the system's rewards, Gu Shenge could no longer maintain his composure and exclaimed in shock.
Wasn't this a bit too generous!
Between the Sun Physique, a million Origin Points, and a Heaven-Grade Lottery, Gu Shenge was completely stunned.
"Ant, how dare you scheme against this Queen!"
After the Marriage Contract was signed, Medusa realized she had been tricked. Furious, her vast Dou Qi surged violently as she raised her hand, intending to slap Gu Shenge to death.
However, before Medusa could take any further action, the Marriage Contract suppressed her behavior, forbidding her from harming Gu Shenge.
This was precisely why Gu Shenge had been willing to sacrifice a Perfect Sect-Breaking Pill and exhaust his eloquence to take Medusa as his wife.
He knew that with his own abilities, he could never escape the Snake-Person God City.
But if he could become husband and wife with Medusa, binding their fates together, then everything would be much easier to handle.
Gu Shenge looked at Medusa, whose beautiful face was filled with rage and whose eyes seemed capable of killing, and smiled:
"My dear wife, why do you look at your husband with such eyes? Since we are now wed, I will naturally not treat you poorly. Look, I have even prepared the Heaven Soul Blood-Melting Pill for our future child."
