Xiao Yu was deeply embarrassed now. He hardly knew how to face Medusa.
When he had left her that Illusory World Thunderflame seed, he had not known it could only be nurtured with his own Dou Qi, resulting in an enormous blunder.
Under Medusa's gaze, Xiao Yu rubbed his nose out of habit and said awkwardly, "Well, Your Majesty, you know I'd only just discovered that I could separate the essence from this thunderfire. I honestly had no idea it needed my Dou Qi to sustain it."
Medusa knew Xiao Yu had no reason to deceive her, so she did not question his explanation and simply nodded.
In truth, she was merely a little frustrated. After growing accustomed to cultivating with the thunderflame seed and experiencing that terrifying speed, she could no longer bear the sluggish pace once she lost it.
Besides, Xiao Yu had helped her far too much. She already owed him an enormous debt of gratitude and had no right to demand anything from him.
Nor did she have anything to offer him in exchange for a thunderflame seed. In Medusa's eyes, even an Eighth-Tier Pill or a Ninth-grade Pill could not compare to it.
So Medusa was now considering what she could trade Xiao Yu for a thunderflame seed. Yet no matter how she thought it over, nothing she possessed could match its value.
Would she have to sell herself?
The thought suddenly sprang into Medusa's mind, startling her.
How could I think such a thing? Impossible! Even without Thunder Flame, I would never do that!
Medusa declared this firmly to herself. She had never relinquished her pride. Cold and stunning as she was, she would rather die than submit to another's control.
Just then, something suddenly appeared in front of her, leaving Medusa momentarily stunned.
