Cause and effect shows its might, Medusa evolves
"Seven days from now is an auspicious date. Perfect, we can use the time to make preparations."
Without even asking Medusa what she wanted, the First Elder settled the matter with Tushan Rongrong.
In terms of standing, the Four Great Elders ranked no lower than the queen.
And the Fourth Elder was Medusa's birth mother.
So there was absolutely nothing wrong with making certain decisions for Medusa, especially decisions that offered the Snake-People Tribe a hundred benefits and not a single harm.
As for whether Medusa was willing?
That did not matter.
As long as it was good for the Snake-People Tribe, their queen would certainly be willing.
Even if she disagreed, she would have to agree.
"All right, then. Luoluo, go get the betrothal gifts," Tushan Rongrong said, smiling at Luo Yang, who was whispering with Qing Lin.
Of course, Luo Yang knew what Sister Rongrong meant.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sank, and time stopped flowing around him as he entered his figurine collection room.
The next second, he opened his eyes again.
There was something extra in his palm...
A little lump of brightly colored "poop."
Uh... on closer inspection, it turned out to be a little coiled plastic snake.
Luo Yang gently rubbed the plastic snake's head with his finger, and some stuff called the "Power of Cause and Effect" slowly enveloped it.
The next second, the scales on the plastic snake's surface transformed, radiating dazzling seven-colored light starting from its head.
"This is..." Sensing the pressure on her bloodline, the First Elder sprang from her seat and stared at the plastic snake in Luo Yang's hand.
"Go!!"
Luo Yang tossed the plastic snake toward Medusa.
Medusa seemed nailed to the spot, though it was a motion she could have dodged entirely.
And the instant before the plastic snake touched Medusa's forehead, the Power of Cause and Effect covered it completely, and its entire body turned into white light and merged with Medusa.
The Power of Cause and Effect also entered Medusa's body.
"Aah-" Medusa threw her head back and cried out, her voice filled with pain.
"Your Majesty!"
The Fourth Elder looked worried and tried to rush over, but the First Elder stopped her.
Although the First Elder had not understood Luo Yang's maneuver, she had a rough guess.
If the other party truly harbored ill intentions, they could simply sweep through the entire Snake-People Tribe with that Dou Zong expert's strength. There was no need to go to such trouble. Presumably, they were trying to...
Medusa's cry had come suddenly and stopped just as quickly.
Her body was bathed in seven-colored light, and the others could only make out a rough silhouette.
Her several-meter-long snake body slowly shrank. Finally, the light dispersed, leaving only a Seven-Colored Little Snake hovering in midair.
Her entire body was covered in tiny seven-colored scales, and her pale purple snake eyes held a faintly uncanny quality. An unusual, fresh fragrance lingered around her body. Though she now had only a snake's body, she exuded elegance and nobility.
The little snake did not look particularly fierce, but she was almost excessively beautiful. Faced with such a beautiful creature, many women would probably forget their fear and loathing of snakes.
The Seven-Colored Little Snake swept her innocent gaze over the people in the hall before finally resting her eyes on Luo Yang. Her gaze instantly turned delighted, and she flew up to him, nuzzling him with her little head without the slightest space between them.
She let out a few soft hisses, her gentle tone sounding as though she were acting spoiled. Her smooth scales brushed against the skin of Luo Yang's cheek, and he felt incredibly comfortable.
"A body of seven colors, eyes tinged with purple, a fragrant form, and power reaching the heavens. Could this be..."
The Four Great Elders rapidly blinked their dim old eyes several times and stared fixedly at the Seven-Colored Little Snake, their breathing growing somewhat hurried.
Ancient records spoke of a noble ninth-tier snake magical beast from ancient times, named the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
Watching the little snake nuzzle her young master, Qing Lin puffed out her cheeks, her gaze resentful and a little jealous.
She had not even been that intimate with her young master yet.
"All right, all right. There'll be more chances later. Let Queen Medusa come out first."
Luo Yang pinched the Seven-Colored Little Snake between two fingers, keeping her a short distance from himself, and extended a finger on his other hand to gently stroke her little head as he spoke fondly.
Though reluctant, the Seven-Colored Little Snake did not disobey Luo Yang. She slowly closed her large, watery eyes, and her body emitted seven-colored light.
Luo Yang could clearly feel the Seven-Colored Little Snake in his hand suddenly growing larger. At the same time, she also seemed to grow softer.
Soon, the light dispersed, and Medusa's figure appeared before everyone once more.
"Hiss..."
Looking at the xx sight right before his eyes, Luo Yang's eyes went wide, his hot blood surged, and he felt as though some warm red liquid was about to flow from both nostrils.
***'s **, ****. It made **** hot ***, below *******, simply **.
Although he had long prepared himself for Queen Medusa to be even more *** than Yue Mei, when Luo Yang actually saw her with his own eyes, he still nearly lost control.
"Ahem, don't embarrass yourself..."
Tushan Rongrong coughed twice and nudged the flustered Luo Yang with her elbow.
"Haha..." Luo Yang withdrew his hand, composed himself, and took a deep breath. Only then did he manage to maintain his image as a respectable man.
"This is..."
Medusa paid no attention to Luo Yang's offense. Her attention was currently focused on her own lower body.
The purple snake tail that had once brimmed with wildness was long gone, replaced by a pair of long human legs as white as mutton-fat jade.
At a height of 1.81 meters, her legs alone accounted for 1.2 meters.
Above them lay the place where life began, with no vegetation growing there. Farther up lay a boundless plain and the twin-world mountains that held up the heavens and stood firm upon the earth. Her long black tresses spilled over her shoulders,...
A fraction more would have been too much; a hair less would have been too little.
She could be called a perfect creation of supernatural craftsmanship. Even someone with the most critical eye and the most exacting tastes could not have found the slightest flaw.
No wonder Luo Yang, despite his professional training, had lost his composure so badly.
No wonder Sister Rongrong had not let Hai Bodong come in with them...
"Congratulations on advancing to Dou Zong, Your Majesty..."
As she congratulated Medusa, the Fourth Elder unobtrusively stepped forward and draped a red silk robe over her.
Luo Yang had not yet had his fill of looking and smacked his lips with some regret.
What a pity...
But it didn't matter. In three days, the owner of this perfect body would belong to him anyway.
Beside him, Qing Lin looked at the "plump" Medusa, then lowered her head to look at her own small, skinny body. Feeling unwilling to accept it, she swore she would grow up quickly.
She was now certain that her young master liked them big.
"She's only in the initial stage just after evolution and hasn't yet fused with the Little Sky Swallowing Python's soul, so she can't maintain human form for long. Once Queen Medusa grows accustomed to it, she'll be able to take complete control of this body, and her strength is certain to advance by leaps and bounds..."
Tushan Rongrong lifted her teacup, took a small sip, and spoke mildly.
After helping Medusa evolve successfully, Luo Yang gained an enormous amount of cause and effect.
Bound to Luo Yang, Tushan Rongrong could also sense it immediately.
