"Was it too hot?"
Chen Mo asked.
"It was fine," Queen Medusa said.
Chen Mo scooped up another spoonful, gently blew on it by his lips, then fed it to Queen Medusa as he said:
"I absorbed the violent energy in your body, helped regulate your aura, and now I'm even feeding you medicine. Don't I get some kind of reward?"
Queen Medusa blinked, amusement in her eyes. "What reward do you want?"
Hearing that, Chen Mo stopped crouching and sat directly on the bedside. Looking at Queen Medusa's bewitchingly beautiful face, delicate enough to seem as though it would break at a touch, he smiled. "For example, a kiss."
"Are you looking to die?" Queen Medusa said coldly, her seductive tail swaying.
"Aren't I discussing it with you?"
Chen Mo's scalp tingled. He scooped up another spoonful of medicinal soup, blew on it, and once it had cooled, held it to Queen Medusa's red lips as he bargained:
"Then how about just a hug?"
"Human, you've got quite the nerve."
Queen Medusa stuck out her tender little tongue and swept the Snake Essence Powder from the spoon into her mouth. Who knew what she was thinking? A moment later, she said, "That depends on your performance."
Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He sped up the feeding as he said, "Your Majesty, are you hungry? How about I make you something to eat?"
Seeing Chen Mo's ingratiating expression, Queen Medusa pursed her red lips. A faint smile appeared on her cheeks. "No need."
Ten minutes later, Chen Mo had fed all the Snake Essence Powder to Queen Medusa. He reached out to wipe the medicinal residue from the corner of her red lips and asked:
"Your Majesty, do you feel any better now?"
"Mhm, my body feels nice and warm."
