Living Together

The smile on Chen Mo's face stiffened slightly.

As he looked at that flawless, enchantress-level beautiful face and the seductive figure less than a foot away, when her fingers, dusted with medicinal powder, touched his wound—

Every hair on Chen Mo's body stood on end as if he had been electrocuted. His throat bobbed slightly as he swallowed, his mouth dry.

Something was wrong.

Very wrong.

Since when had this beautiful snake become so gentle?

Perhaps sensing Chen Mo's gaze, Queen Medusa's lips curved into a teasing smile. Her lowered eyes suddenly lifted, and her bright, murderous eyes stared coldly at Chen Mo with a trace of chill.

That was more like it.

This was Queen Medusa.

"Um, Your Majesty, no need to trouble yourself. I can do it myself," Chen Mo said haltingly.

"How could that do? You took such good care of This Queen some time ago. Now that you're injured, of course This Queen has to take good care of you."

Queen Medusa put particular emphasis on the words "take care," her voice icy.

"Damn."

Hearing that, Chen Mo felt no joy whatsoever. Instead, his hairs stood on end. What trick was she going to pull this time?

Sure enough.

"Ah!"

Queen Medusa's slender jade finger suddenly scratched lightly across Chen Mo's wound. Her nail even touched his flesh, making him suck in a long, cold breath.

Ding! Favorability +1. Obtained 2 Favorability Coins.

"How is it? Feeling better now?" Queen Medusa smiled teasingly as she continued applying the medicinal powder for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo bared his teeth and said angrily, "Are you happy torturing me?"

Queen Medusa nodded without hesitation. After applying the powder, she took out a roll of bandages from her Storage Ring and began wrapping him up.

Since Queen Medusa had to reach behind Chen Mo's back while wrapping the bandages, their posture became rather suggestive. Her body was practically pressing down on him.

Chen Mo stared blankly at the face so close before him. That bewitchingly beautiful face seemed like a masterpiece crafted by heaven itself. Even with murderous light in her eyes, it still possessed an irresistible seductive charm.

This woman was practically the dream beauty in every man's heart.

Looking at that slender snake waist, Chen Mo suddenly found his courage. He wanted to measure whether it truly could be held in one hand.

So—

As Queen Medusa was tying off the bandage, she suddenly felt someone wrap an arm around her waist. Her body stiffened, and in the next moment, she fell onto Chen Mo.

One particular part of her body even buried itself against Chen Mo's face.

A faint blush first appeared on Queen Medusa's lovely face, followed immediately by dense, chilling killing intent.

Without any surprise, Queen Medusa did not care that he was still injured. Grabbing Chen Mo by the leg, she viciously slammed him around.

Just picture Hulk beating up Loki.

Chen Mo was beaten unconscious again.

The good news was that his Favorability had not decreased. It had actually increased by one.

Queen Medusa looked at the unconscious Chen Mo, a smile still on her face.

Her proud peaks trembled with anger.

Then she punched Chen Mo in the face.

Looking at his swollen face, Queen Medusa finally revealed a hint of a smile.

Then she ignored him completely, found a secluded corner, and took out a wooden tub to bathe.

Chen Mo was destined to miss the sight of a beauty emerging from the bath.

After bathing, Queen Medusa put on a thin red dress and lay on her side atop the bed. Propping up her fragrant cheek, she looked at the half-dead Chen Mo in the distance, a smile appearing on her face again.

After watching for a while, Queen Medusa closed her phoenix eyes and prepared to sleep.

But after only dozing for a moment, her eyes abruptly opened. She looked at Chen Mo in the distance once more, her expression unreadable, then got down from the bed.

Coming before Chen Mo, Queen Medusa took out the wooden tub, filled it with water and medicine, then stripped Chen Mo and tossed him inside.

After doing all that, Queen Medusa finally went to sleep in peace.

When Chen Mo woke up—

It was already daylight.

Finding himself awake in a wooden tub, Chen Mo was not surprised at all. He was used to it by now.

With a splash of water, Chen Mo moved his body and immediately felt sore all over, covered in bruises.

Suddenly, Chen Mo touched his face and sharply sucked in a breath.

He remembered that his face had not been beaten before he passed out.

He looked down and saw that the knife wound on his chest had healed a little, and blood was no longer seeping out.

Chen Mo looked around and found that Queen Medusa was already gone.

He summoned his status panel and took a look.

As for his inventory—

He still had four Incense Stick's Worth of Enlightenment Times left.

After getting out of the wooden tub and putting on his robes, Chen Mo found a spot, sat down cross-legged, and began cultivating.

An hour or two later—

Queen Medusa finally returned to the bedchamber.

Chen Mo opened his eyes and glanced at her, deliberately ignoring her.

Queen Medusa shot Chen Mo a sidelong glance. After sitting on the throne, she looked down at him and said coolly, "Starting today, you are This Queen's personal guard. Wherever This Queen goes, you must follow."

Chen Mo froze. Did I just get promoted?

From exclusive slave to personal guard?

Seeing that Chen Mo did not respond, Queen Medusa continued, "Of course, you still have to handle things like massaging my shoulders and back. Later, go move the bed from your room into This Queen's bedchamber."

"Hm?" Chen Mo looked at her in confusion.

"For the time being, you will sleep in This Queen's bedchamber," Queen Medusa said coolly, without a hint of emotion.

Chen Mo: So we're starting to live together now?

Elsewhere—

At the Snake-People Clan's God Temple—

Die sat cross-legged, a trace of pain between her brows.

From the inheritance, Die learned the method of evolution, as well as bloodline knowledge and innate skills she had not known before.

Die absorbed it quickly. At this rate, she would be able to see her beloved in about two months.

Thinking of this, Die became even more earnest.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Chen Mo's cultivation reached Eight-Star Dou Master. He was not far from Nine-Star Dou Master.

He spent 15 Favorability Coins to upgrade Kunpeng Wings to Profound Middle-Rank.

Queen Medusa's Favorability had also accumulated to 72.

Queen Medusa was not easy to farm for Favorability. After breaking past 70, it took roughly three or four days to increase by one point.
