A Strange Method

And so, Long Xiao and Medusa battled for several hours.

Long Xiao looked at Medusa lying weakly on the bed beside him and chuckled. "Hehe, Your Majesty, don't run away from your own feelings."

Medusa gripped the bedsheet tightly, burning with shame and indignation.

The method Long Xiao had mentioned had actually been that!

Moreover, she had no idea what he had done to make her feel ten times more pleasure in both body and mind.

Last time, she had been unconscious, but this time, she had experienced it firsthand.

To think that ** with someone she loved could feel so wonderful.

In the end, she had actually taken the initiative to meet Long Xiao in battle.

She had even begun to lose herself in battles like these!

She had only been single for three hundred years. How could this happen?

At that thought, she no longer dared look at Long Xiao's smug face. One glimpse made her heart flutter.

This fellow was truly infuriating beyond measure.

"Try sensing the power inside you. You should have broken through, right?"

Seeing Medusa blush, Long Xiao knew what she was thinking and couldn't help asking with a smile.

Medusa closed her eyes and carefully sensed her strength.

She had indeed broken through to five-star Dou Zong. What was going on?

To her astonishment, she discovered a wild surge of power within her, nourishing her Divine Beast body. She could feel it.

"What's going on?"

Medusa turned around, not even caring that the bedsheet slipped off, and stared at Long Xiao in shock.

She simply loved growing stronger.

Long Xiao smiled. "You still haven't figured it out? That's all thanks to me!"

Medusa found it hard to believe. "Thanks to you? Why didn't I notice anything? What exactly is going on?"

Long Xiao chuckled, leaned close to Medusa's face, and whispered a few words.

At those words, Medusa's expression changed dramatically, her face flushing crimson.

This... this, this!

So that was the reason!

Life essence!

The life essence Long Xiao had given her actually contained a wealth of pure energy, along with fierce pure yang qi.

This energy was a potent tonic for a Divine Beast body. It could swiftly restore her power and even increase her strength.

Didn't that mean she could increase her strength simply by battling Long Xiao more often?

Once she understood, the look she gave Long Xiao changed.

Long Xiao immediately understood that look and took a frightened step back.

She hadn't had enough!

He could clearly sense that feeling in Medusa's gaze. She definitely wanted to battle him again.

"Ahem, the power in that stuff shouldn't be so easy to absorb completely. You can use the excess to strengthen your body. After all, you have a Divine Beast body, so physical strength is especially important too." Long Xiao cleared his throat twice and offered an explanation.

Hearing that, Medusa could only give up and nod.

Now that she had taken this step, there was no calling back the arrow once it left the bow. Besides, it did feel quite good.

She really had been far too lonely and isolated over the past three hundred years.

This young man, Long Xiao, always managed to send her emotions soaring and plunging. Sometimes he made her happy; other times, she wanted to kick him.

Unlike everyone else, he wasn't overly respectful toward her, and sometimes his words practically begged for a beating.

"All right, my task is done. I'm off to keep my appointment. I still have to battle that bunch of fools."

Long Xiao stood up and dressed properly.

Medusa rose as well and tidied herself up, intending to go with Long Xiao.

Night fell, stars dotted the sky, and moonlight spilled down. The desert's night sky was especially beautiful.

At that moment, singing and dancing filled the Snake-People Tribe's Battle Plaza, with figures milling all around.

The members of the Snake-People Tribe were holding a grand feast to celebrate their impending victory and the moment they would tear that human into ten thousand pieces!

Long Xiao and Medusa emerged like a heavenly couple, leaving everyone present astonished.

Long Xiao and Medusa had actually come out hand in hand?

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt in homage.

Medusa nodded slightly. "Rise."

"I will not interfere in tonight's battle," Medusa said.

At her words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their queen had finally come to her senses.

Medusa took her seat on the throne.

Under the furious gazes of the Snake-People, Long Xiao slowly walked onto the Battle Plaza.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Seven figures rushed onto the Battle Plaza and surrounded Long Xiao.

They were the Snake-People Tribe's seven tribal commanders other than Yue Mei, all of them Dou Wang experts.

Their faces were savage and their eyes icy, as though they wanted to tear Long Xiao to pieces.

"Ha! With all seven commanders joining forces, this human is finished!"

"Even a Dou Emperor couldn't withstand them. That's what he gets for daring to covet Her Majesty."

"Kill him!"

Below, countless Snake-People cheered for the seven. Almost none of them thought that pretty boy Long Xiao stood a chance.

Medusa lounged lazily against the Throne, utterly unconcerned.

Standing beside Medusa, Yue Mei looked at that bunch of idiots and couldn't help pressing a hand to her forehead. The males of their Snake-People Tribe simply had no brains.

Their fighting prowess might be formidable, but Long Xiao was a Dou Zong expert.

He was someone even the queen treated with extreme wariness!

Long Xiao looked at the seven Snake-People commanders, a contemptuous smile curling his lips. "You want to challenge me?"

Hearing Long Xiao's words, Mo Bass couldn't help letting out a sneer.

"Boy, you're awfully arrogant. You're digging your own grave, daring to challenge the warriors of our Snake-People Tribe. You really don't know your own limits!"

"It would be such a shame if that face got crushed underfoot."

"Naive brat, are you still dreaming that the queen will save you? She said she wouldn't interfere."

The other commanders also wore disdainful expressions, seemingly refusing to take Long Xiao seriously at all.

How old was Long Xiao? He was only twenty!

They were seven Dou Wang experts!

In their eyes, Long Xiao was merely a rookie who had barely gotten started. He had only won the queen's heart through his good looks and honeyed words.

Long Xiao ignored the Snake-People commanders and said coolly, "Come at me together."

"Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard! Who do you think you are? A Dou Emperor? Who do you think you are, trying to fight all seven of us alone? You're asking to die!"

Mo Bass threw his head back and laughed, his words dripping with mockery.

Then he raised a huge axe and swung it at Long Xiao. "Boy, let's see how you take this strike!"

With the massive axe in his hands, his imposing might bore down like a mountain.
