Just treat it as a dog bite

Medusa is now extremely complex!

The moment she grabbed Xiao Yan by the throat, reason told her that she should just kill Xiao Yan to prevent him from disturbing her peace of mind later.

However, even the usually ruthless Medusa hesitated to increase the pressure on Xiao Yan's throat with her jade-like hand.

Her inner feelings are preventing her from doing so!

Because she had already completely merged with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's soul earlier, she naturally inherited the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's dependence on Xiao Yan.

This is the first reason why she can't bring herself to harm Xiao Yan.

Furthermore, it wasn't just the influence of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python; it seems that she herself didn't really want to do this.

Although Medusa herself realized this, she was vehemently denying it in her heart!

However, whenever she had the thought of killing Xiao Yan, she would involuntarily recall the insignificant help he had given Xiao Yan during her evolution.

In fact, although Xiao Yan's help to Medusa was minimal at the time.

But it is this kind of act of helping someone in need that is most likely to be remembered by others!

Despite her fearsome reputation, Medusa was actually a very simple person.

They are the enemy; kill them.

My benefactor, please help!

In Medusa's heart, Xiao Yan belonged to the latter category.

In this respect, it differs greatly from the Original Work.

In the Original Work Medusa didn't have many complicated feelings for Xiao Yan at all. If it weren't for the influence of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's soul, Xiao Yan would have died at her hands long ago.

Relatively speaking, the fact that the Snake-People Tribe and the Xiao Household Family have a cooperative relationship, and that Xiao Yan is the third son of the current Xiao Household Family Chief, is not very important to Medusa.

But the most important reason is that Xiao Yan was Medusa's first man...

As a woman, how could she possibly be so heartless as to harm a man she didn't even dislike, after losing her virginity for the first time?

Therefore, at this moment, Medusa finally softened when faced with Xiao Yan, who seemed to be giving up.

Because of their close proximity, even though Medusa had his fate in her grasp, Xiao Yan could still clearly see the struggle that occasionally flashed in her eyes.

It can only be said that at this moment, Medusa was indeed completely under Xiao Yan's control.

At the very least, through this brief exchange, Xiao Yan had already deduced that Medusa had no intention of killing him.

Therefore, his decision not to resist can be considered a successful gamble!

However, before Xiao Yan could even breathe a sigh of relief after reaching a conclusion, a sudden force struck his chest, sending him flying.

"Bang"

A voice, neither too loud nor too soft, rang out.

It turned out that Medusa had changed her claws into a palm, and instead of choking Xiao Yan's throat, she struck him in the chest with a palm.

Xiao Yan was sent flying.

When Xiao Yan got up, clutching his chest, he saw Medusa's ever-changing expression.

Clearly, Medusa was also struggling with how to deal with Xiao Yan.

Whether in the past or now, Medusa has never actually fallen in love with Xiao Yan.

However, besides her clansmen, Xiao Yan was the person she valued the most.

But that's all there is to it.

However, with this unexpected turn of events between the two, Medusa naturally could no longer face Xiao Yan with the same attitude as before.

Of course, I believe Xiao Yan feels the same way about this.

"Phew~"

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Medusa exhaled a breath of stale air.

It's clear she's finally made up her mind.

"Hmm~, Your Queen, are you still going to kill me?"

Xiao Yan tentatively probed.

In fact, the slap Medusa just gave him didn't hurt at all!

It was just a symbolic knockback.

Therefore, Xiao Yan was completely convinced of his own judgment.

Medusa did indeed choose to let him go for various reasons!

This secretly relieved Xiao Yan.

After all, deep down, he didn't want to clash with Medusa.

It should be noted that with Xiao Yan's current strength, along with Yao Lao, even if they were no match for Medusa, it wouldn't be difficult for them to retreat from her clutches.

However, this matter still needs to be resolved eventually.

Xiao Yan had no intention of running away.

Don't forget the saying, "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!"

If Xiao Yan were to choose to run away at this moment, he would probably offend Medusa to death!

At that point, he'll probably really be facing Medusa's pursuit!

Given Medusa's personality, how could she possibly like a man who lacks responsibility?

It can be said that Xiao Yan's choice not to run away earned him considerable favor with Medusa.

This is probably why she ultimately gave up on killing Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, listen up! I can spare your life because you once helped me and you share the surname 'Xiao'! But you must keep what happened today a secret!"

You must never think of it again, and you must never mention it to anyone!

If you can do that, I can treat today as if I'd just been bitten by a dog.

I will no longer cause you any trouble; let's treat each other like strangers!

As for the relationship between the Snake-People Tribe and the Xiao Household family, it will not be affected by this matter!

For reasons unknown, Medusa did not refer to herself as "this king" this time.

Perhaps her true attitude wasn't as resolute as she claimed...

Medusa's meaning was quite clear: she would sever all ties between them in exchange for letting Xiao Yan go.

From this day forward, she will remain the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, while Xiao Yan will remain the Third Young Master of the Xiao Household!

This is the only solution Medusa can come up with right now.

However, Medusa's so-called method was actually the real escape!

Yes, Medusa didn't know how to face Xiao Yan, so she simply chose to sever their relationship!

After she finished speaking, Medusa stared at Xiao Yan with a cold expression, waiting for his reply.

Medusa believed that Xiao Yan hadn't suffered any loss in today's events, and that he should be happy to agree to the terms she had offered.

However, Medusa ultimately underestimated Xiao Yan's inner arrogance.

Xiao Yan laughed almost as soon as she finished speaking.

He had indeed initially given Medusa the authority to make the decision.

But he would never agree to Medusa's proposed solution!

"I refuse!"

Sure enough, Xiao Yan answered quite decisively, without the slightest hesitation!

Just kidding, Medusa already used the word "later," how could he possibly pretend that today's events never happened?

A man's pride would not allow him to agree to this!

Don't forget, Medusa just said, "Consider today's incident as being bitten by a dog!"

If he agrees to Medusa's proposed solution, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting he's a dog?

As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!

Xiao Yan, who had previously been unsure how to handle the matter and even thought to let things take their course, reached the peak of his rebellious spirit after being provoked by Medusa!

Didn't you want to sever all ties between us?

OK!

I'll do the opposite of what you want!

Provoked by Medusa's words, Xiao Yan has decided to fight her to the bitter end.

"Xiao Yan, are you sure you've thought this through? Don't risk your life for your so-called male pride!"

Medusa's tone this time already contained a hint of threat.

"Medusa, even if I had to answer a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, my answer would be the same: I refuse!"

This time, Xiao Yan, in a fit of temper, simply stopped calling her "Your Queen".

To Xiao Yan at this moment, what does the Queen matter?

He's already slept with her!

Besides, he was her first man!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

Although it was his first time too, in these kinds of things, men are never at a disadvantage.

And so, Xiao Lin stared at Medusa with unwavering determination.

From that moment on, Xiao Yan stopped regarding Medusa as a high and mighty queen...
