Is This Really Queen Medusa?

Enveloped in a warm embrace, Xiao Yan's exhausted spirit finally reached its limit. His vision went black, and he drifted off to sleep in the soft, fragrant embrace.

Having eaten and drunk its fill, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python ceased controlling its body and rested contentedly.

As soon as Queen Medusa regained control of her body, she immediately pulled Xiao Yan out of her arms. However, seeing that even in his sleep, Xiao Yan still had a furrowed brow, Queen Medusa's expression changed unpredictably.

"Damn it! If it weren't for the Heaven-Swallowing Python, I wouldn't care about you!"

A moment later, she muttered a curse under her breath, then waved her hand, using her Dou Qi to condense a red robe around Xiao Yan's body, covering the eyes of the annoying guy who had previously defied her. She then placed Xiao Yan's head on her lap as a pillow, and closed her eyes to digest the energy she had just absorbed.

Outside the iron gate, Hai Bodong's hands were trembling.

Judging from the aura just now, that was definitely Queen Medusa, and Queen Medusa at the Dou Zong level.

But why?

Why was it in Ice Cave?

Never mind, no matter what, I have to go in and check. For that kid, it's worth risking my life!

Hai Bodong gritted his teeth, then pushed open the iron gate and went inside.

As a member of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Lu Man had once met Queen Medusa, so she naturally wouldn't be as afraid of her as Hai Bodong. Therefore, when she saw Hai Bodong push open the door and go in, she followed him in.

Then, the scene inside the Ice Cave nearly made their eyes pop out of their sockets.

The original Ice Cave has been transformed into a stone cave.

Inside the grotto, there was even a considerable amount of scorched earth.

It smelled burnt.

But none of that is the point!

The key point is that they actually saw the infamous, ruthless Queen Medusa using her long, fair legs as a pillow for Xiao Yan?

Were they hallucinating, or did they mistake one person for another?

Could this be Queen Medusa?

"Get out!"

Queen Medusa, who was digesting her energy, opened her eyes upon noticing the two men enter. Upon seeing their strange gazes, she was immediately filled with embarrassment and anger, and coldly rebuked them.

Hearing the familiar voice and that murderous gaze, Hai Bodong chuckled dryly, but didn't leave. He glanced at Xiao Yan, and only after confirming that he was alright did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Man, however, had a different idea.

Logically speaking, given Queen Medusa's personality, she should have acted without saying a word.

But she didn't make a move?

Is it really true, as Xiao Yan said, that Queen Medusa and kind-hearted?

That's bullshit!

She, Lu Man, could never believe it.

"I won't kill him, but if you two stay here any longer, I'll take this opportunity to see just how big the gap is between Dou Zong and Dou Emperor."

Queen Medusa, seeing that the two were still standing there, could no longer sit still. Seven-colored energy appeared in her palm, and a terrifying aura emerged from her body. The mere pressure was enough to make Hai Bodong and Lu Man's expressions change.

"Well, I'll wait outside then. But if you dare touch him, I'll fight you again, even if it costs me my life."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong coughed lightly, then coldly uttered a single sentence, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.

"Tsk, I've learned something new today. Looks like White Fang has absolutely no hope."

Lu Man shook his head regretfully, glanced at Queen Medusa's face, and then turned and left.

Queen Medusa's expression was initially cold upon hearing Hai Bodong's reckless remarks, but she gritted her teeth upon hearing Lu Man's meaningful words.

This clearly means she's admitting she's taken a liking to this little rascal!

Who cares about him?

Queen Medusa was so angry that her chest swelled up, and she shoved Xiao Yan's head to the ground with a clear, crisp sound.

Thump!

"Well..."

This smash, however, actually activated Xiao Yan's potential.

Xiao Yan's eyes trembled slightly, and he finally struggled to open them, only to see a familiar pair of long, fair legs.

Smelling the strange fragrance emanating from the Heaven-Swallowing Python, Xiao Yan struggled to get up. When he looked up, he saw that familiar, alluring face.

However, judging from her expression, Queen Medusa didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Who upset her again?

Xiao Yan scratched his head, then decided to say hello:

"It's been a long time, Medusa Majesty."

"Heh, it's only been a few days, but it feels like ages?"

Queen Medusa listened to the clumsy opening remarks and spoke with a cold face.

She just made a huge fool of herself.

It's all the fault of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!

She discovered that as long as she showed killing intent towards Xiao Yan, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python would retaliate against her without hesitation.

But clearly, she didn't want to be suppressed by the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python forever.

That's why she was so good-tempered just now.

Otherwise, even if she didn't touch Xiao Yan, she would have given Hai Bodong a hard blow.

A defeated opponent dares to threaten her?

"Hmph, now that you're awake, listen carefully. I need some time to merge my soul with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. She's very close to you, which is why she came to help you. It's not that I have any designs on you. You'd better behave yourself. During this time, the Heaven-Swallowing Python will temporarily follow you. Be mindful of your behavior. If you treat me like a pet, I will..."

Before the threatening words could be finished, a burst of seven-colored light erupted instantly. Instantly, Queen Medusa's expression changed, and she shrank into a small snake within the light, hovering in front of Xiao Yan. She tilted her head, then leaned closer, squinted her eyes, and nuzzled Xiao Yan's forehead with her head, appearing quite affectionate.

"Hehe, you're definitely the best to me!"

Looking at the docile and clever appearance of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Xiao Yan grinned.

"Tsk, I've said it countless times, but I still have to repeat myself, you're really good with women!"

The voice of the Old Yao also echoed in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Teacher? I think I succeeded!"

Upon hearing Old Yao's words, Xiao Yan remembered that it was indeed true. He casually stretched out his hand, and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python slipped into his sleeve and coiled around his arm.

"Tsk, that bright red robe, anyone who didn't know better would think I'm getting married."

Xiao Yan looked at the gold-threaded red robes that resembled Medusa's matching outfit and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Hehe, it's not impossible. After all, he's Dou Zong expert. It wouldn't be a loss for you to be paired with him."

The Old Yao said with a smile.

"Tsk, teacher, you're being so inappropriate..."

Xiao Yan said helplessly upon hearing this.

"Hehe, let's get down to business. How's the Flame Mantra coming along?"

The Old Yao smiled and asked.

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan closed his eyes to examine the area. After a moment, he opened his eyes, frowned, and said:

"Well, it's barely enough to reach the Earth Tier. The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire is still a bit weak. If it could be nurtured to maturity before being absorbed, it should be enough to reach the Early Earth Tier. Right now, it can only be considered a near- Earth Tier Cultivation Method."

"That's already quite good. It's reached the level of a quasi- Earth Tier Cultivation Method. Given the unique nature of the Flame Mantra, it's already comparable to Lower Earth Tier cultivation technique."

Upon hearing this, the Old Yao smiled and offered words of comfort.

"That's true. Now that we've succeeded, it's time to get out."

Xiao Yan nodded, took a step, and walked out.
