Chen Mo's Death Wish Again (Bonus Chapter for Helmsman Wanghou Yusheng; Please Vote!)

"The location of the Green Lotus Core Flame?"

Chen Mo hurriedly claimed it, then discovered that a complete map of the Tagor Desert had appeared in his mind.

A red dot had been marked on the map, indicating the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Chen Mo felt he could give Queen Medusa a surprise. Hadn't she said before that she liked Heavenly Flames?

However, in the original story, she mainly wanted a Heavenly Flame in order to evolve.

Before the time for her evolution arrived, there was no use in obtaining one.

Queen Medusa's innate attribute leaned toward coldness and yin. Heavenly Flames conflicted with her nature, and swallowing one was tantamount to seeking death.

So he would most likely refine and absorb it himself first, then lend it to her when the time came for her evolution.

In that moment, Chen Mo thought of many things.

For example, evolving with the aid of a Heavenly Flame was far too dangerous. What if something went wrong and things differed from the original story? Then she would be dead for sure.

So he began considering whether there were any other methods of evolution.

When Queen Medusa saw him stop, her delicate brows furrowed. "Why have you stopped?"

Chen Mo continued massaging her.

He thought that once they left the Magical Beast Forest, he would go and retrieve the Green Lotus Core Flame, lest complications arise from delay.

Queen Medusa's skin was exceptionally fair. Her body seemed boneless, soft and smooth.

If Chen Mo had previously offered to massage Queen Medusa's shoulders and back merely to reap benefits, he was now doing it sincerely.

Chen Mo kneaded her earnestly, without any improper thoughts.

But as time passed, Chen Mo was no longer so sure.

Queen Medusa possessed an innate seductive charm. Chen Mo did not know that his shoulder and back massage could stimulate that charm through external force.

As time passed, Chen Mo's hands gradually began to misbehave, and his courage grew as well.

At first, Queen Medusa had been sitting. Later, because it felt too comfortable, she lay down.

Chen Mo gently pounded Queen Medusa's smooth back.

Gradually, his hands reached her waist. Whether deliberately or deliberately, his fingers lightly pinched Queen Medusa's slender waist.

Then he quickly withdrew his hand and properly continued massaging her back while observing her reaction.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

No reaction.

Chen Mo grew bolder. This time, he let his fingers linger at her waist a little longer.

Seeing that there was still no reaction—

Chen Mo became even bolder.

He began to gently knead it.

That sensation... simply incredible.

Words could not describe that feeling.

Chen Mo even thought to himself, If Die and Queen Medusa could lie on a bed and let me compare them...

I wouldn't wash this hand for a year.

Seeing that Queen Medusa still did not react—

Chen Mo grew bolder still.

Or rather, this was not being bold. This was dancing wildly on the edge of death.

Chen Mo directly began caressing Queen Medusa's slender waist.

Then—

He was sent flying by a purple Snake Tail.

"Bang!"

He slammed viciously into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Human, have I been too gentle with you lately?"

Queen Medusa's icy voice, carrying an inexplicable magnetism, entered Chen Mo's ears.

Queen Medusa lay on her side with her head propped up, Frostfall on her face as she looked at Chen Mo.

"Not bad, I... I think it's quite... quite nice," Chen Mo said weakly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowing with difficulty.

Queen Medusa snorted coldly and said indifferently, "That is enough for tonight."

With a wave of her Jade Hand, all the flames around them went out.

The bedchamber instantly darkened, with only the moonlight streaming through the window providing a trace of illumination.

Chen Mo gazed at the silhouette on the distant bed.

No Favorability had been deducted.

Didn't that mean Queen Medusa only found it objectionable, not hateful?

No, objectionable and hateful meant the same thing.

She probably just wasn't used to it, but didn't dislike it.

That did not sound right either.

Forget it. What was all this nonsense?

Chen Mo secretly encouraged himself.

Chen Mo, Chen Mo, you can already touch her waist. Is your ultimate dream of pressing her down and... whipping her really that far away?

Chen Mo subconsciously raised his hand and took a sniff.

It smelled wonderful.

Dragging his exhausted body along, Chen Mo lay down on the bed beside Queen Medusa's.

In less than ten minutes—

He was snoring soundly.

Queen Medusa had fallen asleep.

But not completely.

Her heart was far from calm.

In truth, she had noticed Chen Mo's little movements from the very beginning.

She had merely tolerated them.

Yet she had not expected him to go so far.

Queen Medusa took an intact Dark Gold Pendant from her bosom. After carefully stroking it for a while, she put it away again.

That night, she was unable to find peace.

The next day, she went to the Council of Elders and informed them that she would be leaving for a time. After settling all the matters at hand—

On the third day—

She departed from the Snake-People Clan with Chen Mo.

Queen Medusa wore a black robe and a white mask, while even her gloves were iron claws.

A pair of fiery red wings unfolded behind her.

Her bewitching beauty, seductive charm, and nobility were all concealed beneath that black robe.

"Your Majesty, you look like a heartless assassin right now."

Dressed in a white robe, Chen Mo stood atop a flying sword and slowly followed behind Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa ignored him and instead increased her speed considerably.

"Your Majesty, wait for me! You're too fast—I can't catch up!"

With a thought from Chen Mo, Tian Yuan beneath his feet abruptly accelerated as well. But compared to Queen Medusa, a Dou Emperor, he could not even see her shadow.

Fortunately, Queen Medusa slowed down later.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the evolution methods of every Medusa are extremely mysterious. Aside from evolving with a Heavenly Flame, are there other methods?" Chen Mo asked tentatively as he made plans for Queen Medusa's future evolution.

Queen Medusa abruptly stopped in midair. Her phoenix eyes behind the mask fixed tightly on Chen Mo as she said coldly, "Where did you hear that?"

Could Chen Mo say that he had read it in a book? He could only say, "It was several years ago. I forgot."

Queen Medusa gave Chen Mo a deep look before saying, "It has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, she continued flying.

"Just tell me. Perhaps I might be able to help you," Chen Mo persisted.

"Shut up!" Queen Medusa snapped coldly.

Chen Mo closed his mouth. After spending so many days together, he could tell that Queen Medusa was truly a little angry.

Queen Medusa truly was angry.

But she was not angry at Chen Mo.

She was angry that the secret of her evolution had been leaked.

Since Chen Mo had heard it from someone else, that meant many people knew about it.

Several hours later, the two arrived at the border where the Chu Yun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire met.

This forest was incredibly vast, its area surpassing even the Magical Beast Mountains of the Jia Ma Empire.

"Help!"

The moment Chen Mo and Queen Medusa arrived, they heard someone crying for help.
