Taming the Medusa Queen

"Not good!"

Medusa Queen's expression changed.

She had not expected Lu Xia to attack the moment he said he would, and at such speed.

By the time she wanted to retreat, it was already too late.

She had no choice but to face him head-on!

Medusa Queen gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing through her eyes.

"Courting death!"

She gave a sharp cry and formed a hand seal, the battle qi within her body surging wildly.

"If you want to fight, then fight!"

As soon as she spoke, Medusa Queen's figure instantly turned into a purple afterimage and charged at Lu Xia.

Medusa Queen's attack was immensely powerful.

"Interesting."

Watching Medusa Queen rush toward him, Lu Xia remained perfectly calm and gave a soft laugh.

"Still, your cultivation is a little too weak before me."

As he spoke, he casually waved his hand.

A cloud of dark green poison gas poured from his palm, instantly spreading out and enveloping the entire cave.

The moment the purple afterimage touched the dark green poison gas, it melted away like ice and snow beneath the blazing sun.

"What?!"

Medusa Queen's true body was forced out of the poison gas, her face filled with shock.

Her attack had been broken just like that?

And he had used poison?

He was a Poison Cultivator?!

Before she could react, Lu Xia had already appeared before her.

"Your Majesty, I yield."

Lu Xia's voice sounded beside her ear.

Then, a palm struck toward her chest.

"Bang!"

Medusa Queen had no time to dodge and took the blow head-on.

"Puh—"

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her body flying backward like a kite with its string cut before crashing heavily onto the ground.

One move!

With just one move, she had been injured!

Medusa Queen lay on the ground, struggling to rise, but the battle qi inside her body was abnormally difficult to circulate.

A strange toxin was rapidly spreading through her meridians.

Every place it passed became numb.

"You... what did you do to me?"

Medusa Queen raised her head and looked at Lu Xia, her purple eyes filled with rage and unwillingness.

She was the lofty Medusa Queen!

When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

"Nothing much."

Lu Xia slowly walked over to her and said calmly,

"I merely gave you a little poison to temporarily seal your battle qi."

"Don't worry. It won't kill you."

As he spoke, he crouched down and looked at Medusa Queen.

Up close, this queen was even more stunning.

Though she was injured, with blood staining the corner of her lips, she possessed a particularly pitiful and delicate charm.

"You..."

Medusa Queen trembled with fury.

She wanted to resist, but the battle qi in her body simply would not circulate.

"Let me go!"

Medusa Queen glared at Lu Xia and said through gritted teeth,

"Do you know who I am? I am the queen of the Snake-People Tribe!"

"If you dare touch me, the Snake-People Tribe will not let you off!"

"The entire Tagor Desert will become your burial ground!"

She tried to use the Snake-People Tribe's reputation to frighten Lu Xia away.

But Lu Xia was not intimidated in the slightest.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lu Xia raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her with an amused smile.

"Then I would like to see how the Snake-People Tribe plans not to let me off."

"However, before that, Your Majesty, shouldn't you first consider your own situation?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently lifted Medusa Queen's chin.

Her skin was warm, tender, and smooth to the touch, the feeling indescribably exquisite...

"Y-you... what are you doing?!"

Medusa Queen was shocked and furious. She wanted to pull away, but her body would not obey her.

In all her life, no man had ever dared touch her like this!

This human was utterly audacious!

"Nothing."

Seeing her ashamed and angry appearance, Lu Xia found it rather interesting.

"I just think that since Your Majesty is so beautiful, it would be a pity to kill you like this."

He said it with a smile, his tone carrying a trace of teasing.

"You... what do you want?"

Medusa Queen's heart tightened as she watched Lu Xia warily.

She was not afraid of death.

But she feared that this human would do something even more excessive to her.

"I don't want anything."

Lu Xia withdrew his hand, rose to his feet, and said calmly,

"I merely want to invite Your Majesty to stay with me for a while."

"Once I leave the Tagor Desert, I will naturally release you."

Killing Medusa Queen would not do him any good and would instead completely offend the Snake-People Tribe.

It would be better to capture her first and use her as a safeguard.

With Medusa Queen in his hands, the Snake-People Tribe would likely hesitate to act rashly for fear of harming her.

Moreover, this Medusa Queen had tremendous potential.

If he could subdue her in the future, gaining control over the Snake-People Tribe would also be a fine option.

"In your dreams!"

Without even thinking, Medusa Queen flatly refused.

She was the lofty Medusa Queen!

How could she possibly become a human's prisoner?

"Even if I die, I will never let you have your way!"

As she spoke, a fierce look flashed through her eyes, and she tried to self-destruct her battle qi.

Better to shatter like jade than remain whole like tile!

She, Medusa, would never endure such humiliation!

"Want to die?"

Lu Xia saw through her intentions at a glance and sneered.

"Before me, even dying will be difficult for you."

As he spoke, he flicked a finger, sending a stream of poison gas into Medusa Queen's body.

"Mmph..."

Medusa Queen let out a muffled groan, and the battle qi she had forcibly begun to mobilize instantly settled.

Not only that, she could no longer move at all.

All the strength in her body seemed to have been drained away.

She could only lie limp on the ground and stare helplessly at Lu Xia.

"You..."

Medusa Queen was furious and anxious. In all her life, she had never felt so helpless.

"Stop struggling."

Lu Xia looked at her and said calmly,

"My poison is not something you can neutralize."

"Stay put obediently. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee what I might do to you."

His tone was calm, but his words were full of threat.

Medusa Queen bit her lip and glared fixedly at Lu Xia, her eyes filled with hatred.

Yet there was nothing she could do.

She could only watch helplessly as she became this human's prisoner.

Humiliation, rage, unwillingness...

All sorts of emotions tangled within her heart.

Lu Xia paid no attention to her feelings.

He looked around, and after confirming there was nothing left behind, he walked over to Medusa Queen.

"Let's go, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he reached out and directly swept Medusa Queen into his arms.

"Y-you, put me down!"

Medusa Queen was shocked and embarrassed. She struggled to get down, but her body simply would not obey her.

Being held in the arms of a strange man was, to her, the greatest humiliation imaginable!

"Don't move around!"

Lu Xia smacked her butt and said calmly,

"If you keep moving, I'll rape you first and kill you afterward right here!"

"You!"

Medusa Queen trembled with fury, but she truly did not dare move again.

She could sense that this man meant every word he said.
