Taking Over

After Xiao Yan's explanation, Medusa remained silent for a long time.

She understood the logic; Xiao Yan was indeed innocent, and in fact, he had helped her.

But she just felt annoyed and unhappy!

That's how people with a queenly personality are.

But what can you do when she is the undisputed queen of the Snake-People Tribe?

Looking at the silent Medusa, Xiao Yan wore a cautious expression.

Are they going to stay in the current state forever?

Well, to be honest, Xiao Yan himself certainly didn't mind.

After all, he had a beautiful woman in his arms.

Sure enough, the two of them were still in the same position, with Xiao Yan casually sitting on the bed and Medusa half-lying down, leaning against Xiao Yan's chest.

Right now, Medusa's long legs are still draped over Xiao Yan's calves.

However, since the woman in his arms was Queen Medusa, even though it felt quite good, Xiao Yan didn't dare to move recklessly!

If it were Nalan Yanran, or even Xun'er, Xiao Yan might have already made some underhanded moves. But who can blame him when the woman before him is the infamous Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe?

Xiao Yan couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be killed by Queen Medusa if he made any underhanded moves!

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Medusa raised her eyes, seemingly realizing that the position between the two was somewhat awkward.

Medusa felt a jolt in her heart, but managed to maintain her composure.

"What, how much longer are you going to hold me like this?"

The Queen's majestic voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears.

This startled Xiao Yan so much that he jumped in fright.

"No, no, Your Queen, you misunderstand. I was just..."

"Get down!"

Xiao Yan was about to explain that he had just been feeding the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python when Medusa's low growl rang out again before he could finish speaking.

Now, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't bother explaining anymore.

Almost instantly, Xiao Yan lifted Medusa's long legs slightly off his calves and jumped off his bed.

Hmm, I must say, those slender calves feel really nice to the touch!

"Huh? Wait, isn't this my bed? Why do I need to get off?"

Xiao Yan was somewhat slow to realize it.

But when he thought about how the person lying in his bed was Queen Medusa, he swallowed those words back down his throat!

As for Queen Medusa, she was lying lazily on the bed that originally belonged to Xiao Yan, her beautiful eyes looking at Xiao Yan, who was standing not far from the bed, looking somewhat uneasy.

If an outsider were to stumble upon this scene, they would likely have no doubt that Xiao Yan was merely a gigolo serving as a bedmate...

"Xiao Yan, I remember you should have a Spirit Fusion Pill, right? I'd like one, is that alright?"

Medusa's tone did not contain the slightest hint of negotiation.

"Hmm~, Your Queen, I actually understand your condition to some extent. Originally, I planned to give you a portion after I refined the Spirit Fusion Pill, as a reward for obtaining the Green Lotus Core Flame from you."

After clearing his mind of those strange thoughts, Xiao Yan answered truthfully.

After all, he did go to the Snake-People Tribe Holy City with that mindset at the beginning.

However, the situation changed later, as too many people had their eyes on the Green Lotus Core Flame.

In addition, Medusa needed to use the Green Lotus Core Flame to evolve at that time, so Xiao Yan didn't have the opportunity to propose this deal.

After that, Medusa completed her evolution, but for the time being she could only appear in the form of Seven-Colored Little Snake, so he had even less chance to talk to her!

And so it has been until now.

Medusa was taken aback for a moment after hearing Xiao Yan's words, then a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

This is Medusa's first awakening in this life. She had been fusing with the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Although the fusion process was faster than in the Original Work, it would still take a considerable amount of time to completely resolve this issue.

If we had Spirit Fusion Pill, this process could be accelerated.

Xiao Yan's sensible manner pleased Medusa.

However, this would mean he had one less reason to kill Xiao Yan...

As for the Green Lotus Core Flame?

After she completes her evolution, she becomes practically useless, at most only useful for trading.

Since she found Xiao Yan somewhat agreeable, and he was from the Xiao Household family and was now willing to help her refine the Spirit Fusion Pill, she decided not to bring up the matter of the Green Lotus Core Flame again.

"Very good. How much longer will it take you to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill?"

Medusa nodded first, then asked again.

"I am now Mid-Tier 5 Alchemist, and with two Heavenly Flames at my disposal, I am confident that I can refine the Spirit Fusion Pill within a year to two years!"

Xiao Yan spoke with great confidence.

"Two years..."

Medusa murmured something.

She calculated it based on the longest time Xiao Yan needed.

Then, without waiting for Xiao Yan to speak, Medusa continued, "I remember you're going to stay here for another three or four years, right? In that case, this room belongs to me for the next two years, until you refine the Spirit Fusion Pill and hand it over to me!"

Medusa was quite domineering; she made her decision without even consulting Xiao Yan.

"Oh? No, Your Queen, where am I supposed to sleep? Are you going to squeeze in with me?"

Xiao Yan's words were truly thoughtless...

"Huh? What did you say? Say it again!"

Medusa's phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously once again because of Xiao Yan's words.

Medusa suddenly wondered if it was because her temper had suddenly improved that Xiao Yan was so willing to take advantage of her.

Can we squeeze into one bed?

Praise him for saying that!

"Hmm~, does Her Queen intend for me to sleep on the floor here?"

At this moment, it's hard to say whether Xiao Yan has finally seen the light or not.

Listen to this! It speaks for every man!

At the same time, Medusa's brow was twitching.

It took several forced moments of restraint to suppress the urge to slap Xiao Yan to death.

"Roll!"

In the end, Medusa uttered only this one word.

"Bang"

The next second, Xiao Yan was sent flying out of the room.

"Hiss~, this woman is ruthless!"

Xiao Yan, who had been thrown out of the room by Medusa, got up from the ground while rubbing his buttocks.

Looking at the room that was originally his but was now occupied by Medusa, Xiao Yan could only sigh helplessly and prepare to find an empty room nearby to stay in.

Fortunately, due to the growth and expansion of the Pan Gate within the Inner Academy, they now possess an independent courtyard as their base.

Many people in Pan Gate live in this small courtyard.

This small courtyard has dozens of rooms, and there must be some that are still empty.

Because he usually acts as a hands-off manager, Xiao Yan wasn't entirely sure about this either...
