Parting Gifts, Medusa's Seventh-Rank Blood Essence

The next morning, Lu Heng had already packed his things.

Calling it packing was an exaggeration. There was not much to pack in the first place.

His Storage Ring was stuffed with all kinds of treasures plundered from the Snake-People Tribe's treasury, while he still wore the same slightly worn robe.

He gave the courtyard where he had lived for more than half a year one last look, then turned and headed toward the Divine Temple.

There were far fewer Snake Guards at the entrance of the Divine Temple than before.

After Medusa advanced to Dou Zong, the Holy City's defenses had actually become less stringent.

With a Dou Zong guarding the place, there was indeed no need for excessive security.

Lu Heng pushed open the stone doors and walked inside.

The Divine Temple was vast and empty. The dome, built from massive black stones, rose dozens of zhang high. Sunlight filtered through cracks at the top, casting several beams of light across the floor.

Medusa stood on the steps at the center of the Divine Temple.

Today, she had changed into red brocade robes, completely different from the purple attire she had worn a few days ago.

The red silk clung to her body. A slender golden belt around her waist outlined the curve of her slim figure, while the hem of her brocade robe stopped an inch above her knees, revealing a pair of long, straight legs.

Her high heels clicked against the black stone steps, making her seem even taller.

Lu Heng's steps paused.

It was not the first time he had seen Medusa's legs.

After evolving into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, her purple snake tail had completely transformed into human legs. Yet every time he saw them, he still could not help taking another look.
