"If you keep looking at me like that, I won't mind gouging out your eyes." Queen Medusa spoke coldly in response to Uchiha Madara's scrutiny.
"Oh!" Uchiha Madara revealed an interested expression and said with a smile, "Interesting. It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me in that tone."
To be fair, Madara's gaze was not like that of most men, with deep desire hidden beneath their admiration.
It was more like curiosity. After all, female powerhouses were rare to begin with, let alone one with such a distinctive aura.
Besides, Madara had never been the type to indulge in women. Otherwise, he would not have remained single among the Three Gods to this day.
It was simply that his gaze was too unrestrained—or rather, too aggressive.
Madara had always been the sort to disregard other people's feelings, though he was not bad by nature.
That was precisely why the ever-dominant Queen Medusa felt uncomfortable all over beneath Madara's gaze.
"You can try." Madara sounded almost provocative.
With that single sentence, Queen Medusa's fury immediately surged. A heavy wave of Dou Qi erupted from within her body, and the entire hall instantly seemed to freeze. Even the three elders, who had been about to speak, felt a terrifying force pressing down on them, leaving them unable to breathe.
"She's actually this strong... a Dou Emperor? Or..." The three elders stared in horror. They had only known that Xiao Yan was powerful now; they had never expected that the beautiful woman beside him was the truly terrifying one.
Throughout the entire hall, only Uchiha Madara remained perfectly still. Smiling at Queen Medusa, an even more vast power faintly rose from within him, completely different from Dou Qi.
The hall creaked and groaned, as though it might collapse
