"Little fellow, how did you know?"
The purple beauty in his arms suddenly spoke. Twisting her slender willow-like waist, she coquettishly said, her voice filled with a languid, enchanting allure that sent waves of heat rushing through Xiao Yan's body.
"Did you forget about the connection between us?" Xiao Yan asked.
"And don't call me little fellow. My name is Xiao Yan. Of course, you can also call me Master." Xiao Yan raised his head to look at the beauty in his arms.
Yes, that was right—he had raised his head!
With Xiao Yan's current height of one and a half meters facing Queen Medusa's perfectly proportioned height of 1.72 meters, this hugging posture was extremely unfriendly to Xiao Yan! His head only just reached Queen Medusa's chin. As for where Xiao Yan's face rested... well, naturally, on her chest. When Xiao Yan realized his face had to be there, he had actually been rather unwilling.
So rather than saying Xiao Yan was holding Queen Medusa, it would be more accurate to say that Queen Medusa was holding Xiao Yan—an older sister holding a little brother.
"Fuck! Just wait until I grow taller! To hell with this adorable height difference!" Xiao Yan looked at the gap in their heights and was rendered speechless.
The beauty lightly bit her red lips with pearly teeth, her seductive purple eyes gazing alluringly at Xiao Yan. Her two snow-white wrists hung around his neck.
"Master? That depends on whether you have what it takes to conquer me, Medusa."
Medusa narrowed her phoenix eyes and said with a smile.
Xiao Yan smiled silently.
"As for whether I have what it takes... there will come a day."
"My Queen, you seem not to have a name of your own yet. Since you have broken through the shackles of your Bloodline and evolved into a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, and your scales are seven-colored as well, how about I call you Cai Lin?"
Xiao Yan squeezed the soft, full body in his arms.
"Hehe, I won't tell you."
Medusa suddenly breathed hot air beside Xiao Yan's ear.
"Be good, little fellow. Big sister will leave for a little while and come right back."
Queen Medusa gave a radiant smile, leaning forward and lowering her head slightly again.
In Xiao Yan's eyes, that flawless face, perfect from every angle, drew closer and closer. At last, her tempting red lips gently pressed a sensual kiss onto his forehead.
Xiao Yan immediately felt his arms empty. A pleasant, bell-like laugh rang out as the beauty in his embrace transformed into a fragrant breeze and departed.
With a flash, Queen Medusa appeared at the edge of the small island.
Queen Medusa brushed aside the dark hair hanging over her fair forehead and looked at the transparent barrier Yao Lao had set around the lake. A faint smile appeared on her pretty face. Then she extended a snow-white wrist and lightly waved it at the barrier.
The transparent barrier, which had remained incomparably sturdy despite the Personal Guard's prolonged attacks, suddenly exploded like a shattered glass wall and vanished.
Xiao Yan also walked over and helped Yao Lao up from the ground.
"That was... a three-star Dou Zong? She became a three-star Dou Zong the moment she broke through? Hiss, is this the talent of the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python?" Yao Lao stared at Medusa in shock.
"A three-star Dou Zong?" Xiao Yan broke into a delighted grin upon hearing that.
"If I fight her again in the future, who knows who will win or lose. If she goes mad, I won't be able to stop her."
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, who was grinning foolishly without a care in the world, and said irritably.
"Your Majesty the Queen!"
Seeing Queen Medusa casually shatter the barrier around the lake, Hua She'er led the Personal Guard and charged over at the front.
"Your Majesty the Queen, are you all right?" Hua She'er descended beside Queen Medusa with energy wings spread behind her and asked anxiously.
"What could possibly happen to me? On the contrary, I have never felt better." Queen Medusa folded her jade-like arms and smiled.
"Then, Your Majesty the Queen, have you broken through?" Hua She'er sensed the change in Queen Medusa's aura and asked joyfully.
"Mm, I broke through." Queen Medusa nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face as well.
"Yan brat, I need to sleep for a while. Don't worry, it won't be long."
After hurriedly saying this, Yao Lao transformed into a streak of white light and slipped into the Storage Ring on Xiao Yan's hand.
"Teacher?" Xiao Yan looked at the Storage Ring with slight concern. Fortunately, he could sense no major change in Yao Lao's aura; only Yao Lao's figure seemed somewhat more illusory.
"Your Majesty the Queen, do you need us to capture that human? Damn it, the other human has already disappeared."
Hua She'er looked at Xiao Yan on the field, a fierce glint flashing through her diamond-shaped pupils.
"No need. He is this Queen's guest. I will leave first. You all stay and clean this place up."
Queen Medusa's figure flashed, and faint ripples spread through the air. Clearly, she had used the spatial power only a Dou Zong expert could wield.
"Little fellow, let's go."
Medusa's purple figure appeared beside Xiao Yan the next instant. She grabbed his shoulder and lifted him, and then both of them vanished.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen!" The members of Medusa's Royal Guard all bowed.
"Just who was that human boy?" Hua She'er straightened up, walked to where Xiao Yan had been standing, and fell into thought.
Ten days later.
At the center of the Royal City's Divine Temple stood a quiet, extravagantly luxurious chamber. This special room was entirely composed of purple elements.
At the center of the room stood an enormous bed shrouded in purple curtains. Through the huge purple gauze drapes, two figures could vaguely be seen within.
Xiao Yan was seriously studying the black scroll in his hands, as if it recorded some long-lost Heaven-Tier cultivation technique or combat skill.
Beside him, Queen Medusa, dressed in a purple brocade robe, lay across the right side of Xiao Yan's thigh, intently studying his refined and handsome face. A long time passed without her eyes moving in the slightest, as though she could never grow tired of looking at him.
Whether Medusa did it deliberately or because of her particular reclining posture, her full curves and alluring contours were displayed to the fullest.
At last, Xiao Yan put down the scroll helplessly. "Cai Lin, how am I supposed to focus on studying combat skills when you're like this?"
"Hehe, you're no fun at all, little fellow."
Queen Medusa—or rather, Cai Lin—sat up, revealed a victorious smile, and sat properly again, restoring her dignified yet icy bearing.
Yet Medusa's ability to shift freely between bewitching seductiveness and dignified coldness made Xiao Yan feel that the wicked fire within him was becoming impossible to suppress again.
Damn it. In ten years, when I'm fifteen, I'll definitely have you. Xiao Yan thought angrily.
As if she had heard Xiao Yan's thoughts, Medusa continued teasing him. "It really is hard to believe that you're only five years old. Calling you little fellow truly wasn't wrong."
"..." Xiao Yan's eye twitched as he stared speechlessly at the demoness before him.
