The Queen's Proud Tsundere Side

Queen Medusa walked ahead, her thoughts in turmoil. Behind the white mask, her bewitching face was flushed red. The hand clad in black iron claws clenched, loosened, then clenched again.

Whenever she recalled the sensation of their lips touching, Queen Medusa could not help feeling both ashamed and furious.

She suddenly stopped and turned to glare at Chen Mo, whose face had been beaten black and blue beyond recognition.

"Q-Queen Medusa, I was wrong. I-I really won't dare do it again."

Thinking Queen Medusa's anger had yet to subside, Chen Mo immediately raised his hands to shield his face and spoke indistinctly.

He was terrified that she would pin him down again and give him another savage beating.

Queen Medusa's eyes turned cold, her words gritted through clenched teeth. "You still dare talk about next time? This Queen, This Queen will tear you into eight pieces."

Chen Mo gave a miserable smile and promised he would not dare do it again.

Yet inwardly, he was elated.

Because no Favorability had been deducted.

What did that mean?

It meant Queen Medusa was not actually angry.

And that meant if there was a first time, there could be countless more.

Chen Mo opened his status panel.

After taking advantage of Queen Medusa, Chen Mo felt he ought to show some concern for her. He stepped forward to her side and smiled. "Queen Medusa, how are your injuries?"

Queen Medusa ignored him.

Chen Mo did not get angry. He took two small jade bottles from his Storage Ring and said, "One contains Recovery Pills, and the other contains Skin Dew. They're for you."

Queen Medusa merely glanced at them and did not take them.

Chen Mo knew Queen Medusa's tsundere nature was acting up again. He grabbed her hand, pried open her fingers, and stuffed the two jade bottles into her palm. When she glared at him, he said,

"You need to take proper care of your wounds early on. It wouldn't be good if they scarred."

Queen Medusa glanced at him and told him to let go.

Chen Mo knew she had accepted them, so he released her hand.

"Wait here for me."

Queen Medusa said coldly before leaping away.

She had clearly gone to apply the medicine.

Sigh, it looks like she's become wary. She won't even let me watch her apply medicine.

I should slow things down a little.

Chen Mo found a spot to sit down, took out a jade bottle of medicine for promoting blood circulation and dispersing bruises, poured some onto his hand, and vigorously rubbed it over his face.

"Ah, ngh."

A muffled groan of pain rang through the dense forest.

Before long, Queen Medusa flashed back from the distance. Seeing that the swelling on Chen Mo's face had already subsided considerably, she immediately snorted.

After telling him to move, fiery red wings formed behind her back. With a beat of those wings, she shot into the sky.

"Tian Yuan!"

Chen Mo summoned Tian Yuan and flew after her on his sword.

After catching up, Chen Mo said with a grin, "Queen Medusa, I'll take you somewhere later."

Queen Medusa tilted her head to glance at Chen Mo, her expression seemingly saying, Spit it out already.

"It's a surprise for you. You'll know when we get there," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Not interested." Queen Medusa beat her wings, and her speed abruptly increased severalfold.

Chen Mo smiled faintly and swiftly caught up with her.

He knew Queen Medusa did not truly intend to shake him off. Otherwise, no matter how fast he was, he could never catch a Dou Emperor.

Mo City.

Inside a shop called Gu Tu, Hai Bo Dong, who was drawing a map, suddenly frowned.

"What a familiar aura. Could Queen Medusa have left the Snake-People Royal Palace?"

High above the Tagor Desert.

Chen Mo once again said he wanted to take Queen Medusa somewhere, and she replied that she was not interested.

So Chen Mo forcefully reached out to grab her hand, only to be blasted away by a surge of Dou Qi she released.

"Don't touch This Queen!" Queen Medusa snapped, but she still followed Chen Mo.

The vast desert was ravaged by yellow sand.

Following the map in his mind, Chen Mo descended onto a flat stretch of desert.

Queen Medusa looked at the sweeping waves of yellow sand and frowned slightly, feeling that this human was toying with her.

The so-called surprise was bringing her here to look at sand?

But when she carefully sensed the area, she immediately detected an unusual energy fluctuation beneath the desert. That fluctuation actually stirred a violent restlessness within her.

Mystic Thunder Palm!

Chen Mo's entire right hand turned silver-white as he struck a palm toward the red point indicated on the map.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, some of the yellow sand collapsed, but nothing else happened.

Queen Medusa looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

Chen Mo felt somewhat embarrassed. Just as he was about to strike again, he suddenly recalled that in the original story, Queen Medusa had been the one to open the passage leading to the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Now that Chen Mo had come early, naturally there was no passage.

Chen Mo looked sheepishly at Queen Medusa and smiled ingratiatingly. "Queen Medusa, I'll have to trouble you."

Queen Medusa rolled her eyes at him, but she did not refuse. With a beat of her wings, she soared into the sky.

Chen Mo hurriedly retreated some distance.

Boom!

Queen Medusa condensed into a crimson giant serpent around thirty meters long and crashed down onto the spot Chen Mo had just struck.

Bang!

The ground shook, and yellow sand flew everywhere.

Moments later, a circular passage roughly a meter in diameter appeared before them. It was pitch-black within, with faint heat rising out of it.

Queen Medusa raised her delicate brows.

Chen Mo rubbed his fingers together, and a wisp of purple flame rose up.

Just as he was about to use the firelight to inspect the passage—

Queen Medusa swooped down and said coldly, "Move aside. With that little strength of yours, if you encounter danger, you won't even know how you died. This Queen does not want my sister to worry."

After saying that, she took out a moonstone from her Storage Ring and walked ahead to scout the way.

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, then smiled knowingly.

If you're worried about me, just say so. Why use Die as an excuse?

Stubborn tsundere.

Chen Mo smiled. "Then I'll have to trouble Queen Medusa."

With that, he followed her inside.

The passage was rather dim. Chen Mo followed behind Queen Medusa, keeping some distance between them.

It was not that Chen Mo did not want to stay close to Queen Medusa. He was mainly afraid of stepping on her tail.

As they ventured deeper, the fire-attributed energy within grew increasingly dense.

After the time it took to burn an incense stick, the two reached the end of the passage.

Then, a breathtaking crimson world appeared before them.
