The Blood-Drinking Queen Medusa

[After purchasing materials for four batches of Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills, you refined four Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills, but the medicinal cauldron you had only recently replaced in the Jia Ma Empire exploded again.]

With a weary sigh, Xiao Yan looked at the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python on the bed, its slender body curled around a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, and smiled faintly.

He had this little fellow to thank for surviving until now.

Of course, to be precise, it was Queen Medusa's soul, currently resting, rather than the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python's soul now controlling the body.

Placing the elegant little snake in his palm, Xiao Yan stroked its soft body, unable to stop himself from recalling Queen Medusa's demand that he refine a Soul Melting Pill.

Hai Bodong's warning also resurfaced in his mind.

Queen Medusa was not as innocent and charming as Ya Fei. She possessed terrifying strength and was exceedingly dangerous.

Since she had saved him in a moment of crisis, Xiao Yan did not care what Queen Medusa's motives were. He felt rather grateful toward her.

However, remembering Hai Bodong's warning, Xiao Yan could not help pondering what would happen after he fulfilled Queen Medusa's request...

Unfortunately, his three closest family members were missing, and his strength was only at the Dou Ling level. He had no energy to think so far ahead.

Besides, even the well-informed Medicine Elder had said nothing about the matter.

To be honest, Xiao Yan did not particularly want to hear Medicine Elder's advice.

Medicine Elder had an exceptionally sharp eye, but in other respects, he was hard to put into words.

After all, Medicine Elder had been extremely wary of the Heaven Swallowing Python that Queen Medusa had become after evolving.

Had he not left behind half a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, and had Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus not drawn Queen Medusa's attention before she found him afterward, their second assault on the Yunlan Sect would have been an incomparably dangerous battle.

Watching the Heaven Swallowing Python continuously spit Purple Flame like a flamethrower, Xiao Yan frowned. "Did it eat too much?"

Staring at the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, Xiao Yan suddenly discovered the reason.

Just as the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python was about to spit Purple Flame, several fangs in its mouth seemed to ooze a little saliva. The tiny purple flames abruptly swelled to nearly ten times their original size upon coming into contact with that saliva.

"Is it because of the saliva?" Xiao Yan murmured. With a flick of his hand, a jade bottle appeared in his palm, and he smilingly extended it toward the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

Ignoring the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python's resentful gaze, Xiao Yan pried open its little mouth and used the jade bottle to collect the saliva seeping from its fangs.

After collecting nearly half a bottle, the saliva began to seep out more slowly. Xiao Yan held the jade bottle beneath his nose and sniffed it. It even had a faint fragrance.

As expected of an ancient magical beast, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. Not only could it enhance Companion Amethyst Source, it even smelled nice.

Otherwise, if he truly mixed it with the Companion Amethyst Source, he might not have been able to swallow it.

Just as Xiao Yan put away the jade bottle and prepared to release the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, his finger suddenly hurt. The Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python's body abruptly flashed with light and grew larger.

His palm touched a delicate body even softer than that of an ordinary woman, and Xiao Yan's expression changed at once.

Looking at that flawless face, alluring enough to be called bewitching, Xiao Yan met those bright, murderous eyes. His throat bobbed slightly, and his voice was hoarse and dry.

"Your Majesty... you're awake?"

A trace of crimson blood slowly stained Queen Medusa's rosy lips. Blood atop red made the vivid color grant the bewitching Queen Medusa an added temptation, like a bloody rose.

As the blood slowly seeped out, Queen Medusa's eyes moved faintly. Under Xiao Yan's stunned gaze, a long, jade-white arm suddenly shot out in an eerie motion and firmly hooked around his neck.

At that moment, Xiao Yan and the infamous Queen Medusa in his arms were in a rather intimate position.

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the face inches away from his. That bewitching countenance seemed like a masterpiece of heaven itself. Even with murderous intent in her bright eyes, it still possessed an irresistible, seductive charm.

This woman was practically every man's ultimate fantasy.

Yet Xiao Yan felt no enjoyment at all. He had no doubt that if the slick arm around his neck exerted even a little force, it could twist off his head.

As Xiao Yan hesitated, he suddenly felt something soft and nimble brush against his finger. A suction force followed, and the blood within his body began draining away at a rapid pace.

Drinking blood and eating people?! The terrifying answer surfaced in Xiao Yan's mind. Azure light flared on his finger as he said with a dark expression, "If you continue, then it'll be the Green Lotus Core Flame!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's threat, the chill in Queen Medusa's bright eyes grew even stronger. Given her status, no one had ever dared threaten her like this. Her beautiful eyes fixed fiercely upon Xiao Yan, brimming with murderous intent.

Under Queen Medusa's gaze, Xiao Yan's scalp went numb. But he knew even better that if he allowed her to keep drinking, he would probably be sucked dry into a human husk.

They remained locked in a brief standoff for several breaths. Feeling his finger grow hotter and hotter, Queen Medusa shot Xiao Yan a vicious glare before finally releasing his finger with extreme reluctance.

The instant Queen Medusa let go, Xiao Yan snatched his finger back like lightning. Without hesitation, he released the alluring delicate body in his arms and darted toward the door.

Then Xiao Yan looked at the bewitching beauty reclining lazily on her side upon the bed, and his eyes involuntarily went blank.

Her slender figure was dressed casually and revealingly, her clothing barely covering her chest. A purple leather skirt that reached only to her thighs covered her lower body, exposing a pair of rounded, long legs that left one dry-mouthed. Their graceful curves were utterly dazzling.

His gaze moved upward to her snow-white, serpent-like waist, making Xiao Yan's heart tremble. This woman was simply a treasure capable of driving men mad. Yet to tame such a bewitching beauty, without heaven-reaching strength, one would likely only end up swallowed whole by her.

Even knowing full well that the woman before him was a beautiful man-eating snake, Xiao Yan still could not help letting his thoughts wander.

"You are the first person who has dared threaten me." After staring at Xiao Yan's particularly refined and handsome face for a long while, Queen Medusa finally spoke slowly. Her voice was languid and intoxicating, carrying a temptation that made a man's bones go weak.

"You're also the first woman who has bitten me." Having just wandered along the edge of death, Xiao Yan replied irritably.

Queen Medusa extended her tender crimson tongue and lightly licked her rosy lips. The casual movement held a charm that stirred a man's heart with desire. "Are you really human?"

Xiao Yan frowned. Was that a question or an insult? If he was not human, what was he?

Staring at Xiao Yan's finger, which had already begun scabbing over in such a short time, Queen Medusa, who had gained considerable benefits from his blood just now, fell slightly into a daze.
