What Goes Around Comes Around
Actually, Xiao Yan is quite comfortable right now.
After all, they were being carried in Medusa's arms.
That's right, he wasn't injured at all.
Although it did take some effort, most of the time was spent searching for Seventh-Order Magical Beast.
Hunting only consumes some resources at most.
It's just Seventh-Order Magical Beast; the difference between its strongest and weakest isn't too exaggerated.
If it's Eighth-Rank Magical Beast, then that's a different story.
It's important to know that Eighth-Rank Magical Beast corresponds to the Dou Zun Realm in humans.
The Dou Venerable is further divided into Nine Stars and Nine Transformations.
This gives an idea of the difference between One-Star Dou Venerable and Nine-Transformation Dou Venerable.
The difference isn't as significant for Seventh-Order Magical Beast.
Unless encountering a special situation like Zi Yan, it wouldn't be difficult for Xiao Yan to kill Ordinary Seventh-Order Magical Beast if he went all out.
Therefore, Xiao Yan's current claim of being "severely injured and unconscious" is clearly an act.
Is it true that like grandfather, like grandson?
Xiao Lin liked to play this game, and now Xiao Yan has started to imitate him!
However, the only difference is that Xiao Lin did this to trick his enemies, while Xiao Yan did it to deceive his wife...
And look, the results are fantastic!
At least Medusa was flustered after seeing Xiao Yan "severely injured and unconscious".
The current situation is extremely similar to her earlier dream, which makes her even more confused and distraught!
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, wake up..."
After carrying Xiao Yan to her bed in the Imperial Palace, Medusa kept calling Xiao Yan's name.
However, Xiao Yan didn't budge an inch.
"Someone, quickly go find Physician..."
As he inhaled the unique fragrance emanating from Medusa on the bed, Xiao Yan was almost intoxicated by it.
However, he absolutely could not allow Medusa to summon the Physician.
Otherwise, wouldn't his claim of being "seriously injured and unconscious" be exposed?
At that point, forget about enjoying Medusa's tenderness; you'd be lucky if you didn't get a beating!
Therefore, before the Physician arrived, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes.
"Cough cough~"
"Xiao Yan, you're awake!"
When Xiao Yan coughed, Medusa's face immediately lit up with joy.
Perhaps even Medusa herself didn't realize that her attitude towards Xiao Yan was subtly changing.
"Medusa, I have fulfilled my mission. For the sake of our child, I have found the two Tier Seven Monster Core."
Xiao Yan's voice sounded somewhat weak, but it was very firm.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was still thinking about the child even in his current state, Medusa was speechless for a moment.
Her tightly pursed lips betrayed her inner turmoil.
"Hmph, what a show-off! Doesn't he know that if he finds he can't handle his target, he should come back and let me know?"
Although Medusa's mindset has changed, her mouth is harder than the scales on the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!
But this is the Medusa!
"Ah, didn't I say back then that I should at least have a chance to show off?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan, who had expected it, also revealed a bright smile.
Meeting Xiao Yan's gaze, Medusa suddenly looked away uncomfortably.
After a while, Medusa gradually calmed down and then said, "Do you know that because of your momentary show of coolness, I almost lost the father of the child in my womb?"
As Medusa finished speaking, Xiao Yan's eyes instantly became bright and alert.
If it weren't for maintaining his current "seriously injured" persona, he probably would have been bold enough to hug Medusa directly!
"Ahem~, Medusa, you, you mean..."
Xiao Yan's voice betrayed his excitement.
After all, how could he not understand the meaning behind Medusa's words?
"Phew~, I've thought about this for a long time. No matter what happens to us in the future, I will not deprive the child in my belly of the right to have a father!"
So, Xiao Yan, remember this: the only person who can kill you is me!
If you dare to die somewhere else, at the hands of someone else...
Medusa spoke in the most stern tone, yet with the gentlest words!
At this moment, Medusa finally admitted to Xiao Yan that he was the father of the child in her womb!
This is absolutely fantastic news for Xiao Yan.
And wasn't everything he did for the present?
"No, I will never die anywhere else, at the hands of anyone else, I promise!"
It was at this moment that Xiao Yan made his vow.
Their eyes met, and an ambiguous atmosphere began to grow between them.
This was a great start, but it ended as soon as it began...
"Your Queen, should I fetch Physician?"
A very untimely voice suddenly broke the "tender gaze" between the two.
It turned out that the voice came from Yue Mei, who had brought two Tier Seven Monster Core to assist her queen.
"Hmm, no, no need. I'm Alchemist myself. This little injury will be fine with some Injury-Healing Medicinal Pill."
After the ambiguous atmosphere was broken, Xiao Yan quickly stopped Yue Mei's actions.
As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out a Medicinal Pill and popped it into his mouth before starting to regulate his breathing.
"That's not needed for now, Yue Mei, you can go now."
After observing Xiao Yan's complexion for a while after he swallowed the Medicinal Pill, Medusa noticed that it was indeed starting to improve. After hesitating for a moment, she waved to Yue Mei and said...
They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and Medusa seems to be starting to show that trend now.
If Xiao Yan's injuries were truly that severe, how could he have waited until now to take the Medicinal Pill?
After all, he himself is now a Tier 7 Alchemist Alchemist!
They always carry some Medicinal Pill with them!
But if his injuries weren't serious, why did he fall into a brief coma earlier?
So isn't all of this a contradiction?
Although Medusa vaguely sensed that something was wrong, her current mental state prevented her from figuring out what the problem might be!
"Yes!"
After Yue Mei left, Xiao Yan's "injury" strategy was considered a successful cover-up.
In the days that followed, Xiao Yan occupied Medusa's Boudoir and began to "recover from his injuries"!
Is this a case of What Goes Around Comes Around?
Back in the Jia Nan Academy, Medusa took over Xiao Yan's room.
Now, in the Holy City Imperial Palace of the Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Yan has the Xiao Yan fortune to enter Medusa's Boudoir.
For Xiao Yan, this was clearly a win-win situation, even a huge gain!
Moreover, news of Xiao Yan staying in the Queen's Boudoir quickly spread from the Imperial Palace throughout the entire Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe!
Now, not only the Leadership members of the Snake-People Tribe, but even the Ordinary Snake-People Tribe knew that their Queen had already given herself to a human.
And this human is named Xiao Yan!
