In the blink of an eye, a seductive and charming naked body appeared between them.
'Medusa?!' Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly, 'This vixen did it on purpose!' she thought in displeasure.
Xiao Yi Xian found it hard to believe that such coincidences could happen. Nevertheless, she remained composed and simply stepped aside, choosing not to act impulsively.
Qing Lin, upon catching sight of the seductive beauty in Xiao Ming's embrace, froze for a moment.
Just as she was about to express her feelings to her Young Master, this woman appeared out of nowhere to interpose herself!
Floral patterns momentarily flashed in Qing Lin's eyes, but they quickly faded. Her expression darkened as she stood up and looked for a loose garment to cover Medusa.
Xiao Ming was a little speechless. Looking at the warm and fragrant beauty in his arms, he said, "Can you stop suddenly appearing like this?"
"Hmm~? Are you afraid of others seeing me?" Medusa purred with a seductive tone.
Xiao Ming was surprised. Medusa's tone seemed unusually provocative, which caught him off guard.
Medusa, too, seemed to realize the change in her demeanor and her face turned slightly ugly.
'Could it be that that little one's influence has grown stronger? But there's more to it than that! It appears to have been dormant for a long time, and the powerful energy within me is also having an effect!' Medusa pondered, her mind racing.
'Am I really going to have a baby with Xiao Ming?' The thought startled her, and she lost herself in thought for a moment.
Medusa realized that her emotions were spiraling out of control and she was feeling a little excited at the thought of Xiao Ming!
"Please cover yourself," Qing Lin's cold voice broke the silence. She handed Medusa a loose garment.
Medusa finally spoke up after collecting her thoughts, "What is happening with the energy within my body?"
"Get off me first before we talk," Xiao Ming said, sighing. He was having an intimate moment with his partner when Medusa sat on him. Despite her now being covered, there was still nothing beneath the garment she wore.
Medusa possessed an irresistible allure to males, a tangible and real charm. Xiao Ming didn't want to test his strength in resisting her, even though he showed no signs of weakness.
Understanding the situation, Medusa let her radiant seven-colored light surge for a moment before covering her body with a red dress set, concealing the exposed scenery. She stood up slowly, running her slender jade finger over a strand of red hair that dangled in front of her brow. She was, however, reluctant to leave Xiao Ming's arms.
Realizing this, Medusa felt a mix of conflicting emotions. Was she truly swayed to that extent? Was the influence on her soul truly that strong?
"Now we can talk," Medusa said after a brief silence. "What exactly is happening with the energy within my body?"
Xiao Ming glanced at her and proceeded to explain the situation regarding the Ancient Heaven Serpent.
Medusa furrowed her brow in response. "So, you only know that the blood pool is beneficial to snakes?"
"Yes," Xiao Ming replied. "Xiao Cai absorbed only a portion of the energy. Magical beasts possess keen instincts, especially ancient ones like the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python. If there is any danger, Xiao Cai will not absorb it. Is there something unusual occurring within your body?"
"..."
Medusa found herself momentarily speechless at his words.
While the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python wouldn't blindly absorb harmful things, intensifying emotions toward someone couldn't be considered harmful, particularly when it concerned Xiao Ming. It was possible that Xiao Cai was thrilled to see such an effect.
Medusa hesitated to answer Xiao Ming's last question. She couldn't simply reveal that her emotions had been amplified, and that the mere thought of him made her ecstatic, could she?
As Xiao Ming observed Medusa's silence and lowered head, his heart skipped a beat.
'Uh-oh, could something serious be happening?' he wondered.
Just as Xiao Ming was about to inquire further, it seemed that Medusa had come to a realization.
"The physical impact is indeed negligible," she said softly, parting her lips.
"Hmm?" Xiao Ming was intrigued, waiting for her to elaborate.
"I've made up my mind. Let's make a body for the soul of the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python." Medusa suddenly said, catching him off guard.
Medusa was concerned about her emotions spiraling out of control. She didn't want to be consumed by them, and she knew the current situation was unsustainable. As a result, she chose a straightforward solution. Once the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python's body was gestated, she would take it back to the Snake-People Tribe.
Qing Lin stood quietly at the side, attentively listening to their conversation.
She understood what it meant to create a body. Wasn't it just getting Medusa pregnant?
She had only heard about Medusa from Xiao Ming and her sisters and had never met her in person.
However, their first encounter left her with a less-than-favorable impression.
Not only had Medusa interrupted their intimate moment, but she now seemed to choose this very moment to propose creating a body for Xiao Cai. It felt as if Medusa was deliberately trying to annoy her.
At least, it was difficult for Qing Lin not to perceive it that way.
Upon hearing the mention of pregnancy, Xiao Yi Xian cast a quick glance at her own belly.
Despite her best efforts, she had been unable to conceive for a long time. Even though she had decided not to pursue pregnancy any longer, she still couldn't help but feel concerned.
If her Woeful Poison Body physique was the cause of her infertility, what would she do?
Internally, she made a decision to discuss her concerns with Xiao Ming after their next intimate encounter.
"Making a body?" Xiao Ming repeated, not immediately expressing his thoughts.
"It means we'll have a child together," Medusa stated straightforwardly, as she had already made up her mind.
While her feelings for Xiao Ming had been influenced by the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python's soul, they were still genuine. She didn't dislike Xiao Ming at all.
Furthermore, while Medusa was not someone who valued appearance over all else, she did have some standards when it came to choosing a partner.
Xiao Ming's graceful and elegant appearance, as well as his exceptional charisma, made him appealing to women, including female powerhouses. Naturally, he matched Medusa's aesthetic preferences.
After weighing all the factors, Queen Medusa made up her mind.
"Have you really made your decision?" Xiao Ming inquired, not surprised by her response. He had simulated life many times and knew that Medusa would eventually agree and choose him.
He was also aware of the significant role played by the influence of the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python's soul in her decision. Otherwise, given Medusa's character, it wouldn't have been easy for her to speak up about such matters.
He just didn't expect Medusa to make a decision so quickly.
"I have indeed made my decision," Medusa said in a calm tone, as if giving birth was a small matter.
"This matter..." Xiao Ming's tone was hesitant as he carefully went over the pros and cons.
It may have seemed petty to weigh the pros and cons when a woman wanted to have his child, but he had to think about it carefully. There were numerous women who wanted to have his child, but he couldn't satisfy everyone's desire.
Despite Medusa's allure and exceptional appearance, Xiao Ming wasn't someone who was driven solely by his carnal desires.
Therefore, he had to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.
If he agreed to have offspring with Queen Medusa, it meant taking on significant responsibility.
On the positive side, their child would possess exceptional talent, being born as a Dou Ancestor due to their spiritual connection with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Such a child would be more formidable than those from the Ancient Clans.
Moreover, he would retain the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python's soul that he had been nurturing.
Of course, it would also present an opportunity to teach Medusa, who had become too arrogant, a proper lesson.
Furthermore, if he could find the Nine-Colored Origin Stone, it could potentially help Medusa evolve into a Nine-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python, further subduing her and gaining another wise and capable wife.
"Have you made a decision? Why are you more hesitant than me, a woman?" Medusa grew impatient with Xiao Ming's hesitation and urged him to make a decision.
Hearing Medusa's impatience, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin couldn't remain silent any longer and interjected.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Xiao Ming will carefully consider it," Xiao Yi Xian said with apparent calmness.
"Please, don't rush his decision!" Qing Lin warned her.
Medusa turned her head, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "What's wrong? Are you two afraid that this queen will steal him away if he agrees? Don't worry, I just need a man to help me. I admit that he is outstanding, and the child he will produce will have an excellent aptitude, potentially becoming the future leader of the Snake-People Tribe. After everything is done, I will leave."
In this world where talent and bloodlines were everything, the offspring of strong individuals indeed had better aptitudes. Moreover, strong individuals could also search for medicinal herbs to improve their descendants' physical aptitude. Most of the powerful people in the Dou Qi continent had inheritances.
However, when Medusa mentioned her intention to depart, no one knew what her true intentions for the future were.
Qing Lin finally understood why the mention of Medusa frustrated her Sister Xian'er so much. This woman was extremely haughty!
"You don't seem the least bit curious about me, as if you already know me. It's evident that you were awake earlier and purposely made your appearance now!" Qing Lin confronted Medusa, grinding her teeth in frustration.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Aren't you Xiao Ming's maid?" Medusa replied dismissively, feigning ignorance of Qing Lin's accusation. "The little one seems to have an innate dislike for you. Hmm? It appears you have a part of the Snake-People's bloodline, a hybrid perhaps?"
Before Qing Lin could respond, Xiao Yi Xian's voice rang out.
"Steal him away from us? Only with you? Aren't you overestimating yourself?" she replied calmly. "I have no fear that you might take Xiao Ming away from us. If you wish to try, go ahead. However, let me give you a warning. Whether you choose to stay or leave after creating a body for Xiao Cai, if I discover that you have sought out another man who isn't Xiao Ming in the future, no matter where you may be, I will seek you out and personally end you."
"Independently of what you are for Xiao Ming in the future, if you dare to have offspring with him, you are not permitted to seek another man thereafter. Do you understand?" Xiao Yi Xian spoke with a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.
"Hmph!" Silence enveloped the courtyard, broken only by Medusa's snort in response.
She was a proud individual, and once she made the decision to have Xiao Ming's child, she wouldn't entertain the thought of being with another man.
However, how could she say something like that out loud? So naturally, she just snorted, refusing to say anything else.
Seeing Medusa's silence, Qing Lin brought up another point. "I know that you are very close with Sister Zi Yan. Aren't you afraid that she will return and cause trouble for you when she finds out?"
Xiao Yi Xian's interest was also piqued. She knew that Zi Yan valued Xiao Ming very much. They had known each other since they were young. If Zi Yan returned and found out that her good friend, Medusa, and her Xiao Ming had a child together, what would her reaction be?
"Zi Yan?" Queen Medusa hesitated for a moment, then said lightly, "Zi Yan is still too young. She doesn't understand anything. Besides, she will come to understand my intentions. Let's not dwell on that anymore. Xiao Ming, this plan was proposed by you. Do you agree or not?"
Xiao Ming, growing weary of the escalating argument, massaged his temples.
"Fine, let's proceed. Come to my room tonight," he then replied.
It was preferable to deal with this matter decisively; otherwise, things could worsen. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to try.
"Will your little partner be upset?" Medusa asked, casting a sly glance at Xiao Yi Xian, taunting her.
"Xiao Ming and I have already discussed this. You need not worry about us," Xiao Yi Xian responded, her gentle smile undeterred, showing no signs of weakness.
Deep down, however, she felt a little unhappy. Although she didn't want to interfere in Xiao Ming's affairs, she couldn't really say that she didn't care.
Having fewer "sisters" around would allow Xiao Ming to have more time for her, after all.
If Qing Lin became one of Xiao Ming's women, Xiao Yi Xian wouldn't mind at all. In fact, she would genuinely feel happy and relieved. Qing Lin had been found by Xiao Ming around the same time as her, and she genuinely considered her as her little sister.
As for Zi Yan, although Xiao Yi Xian didn't share the same close relationship with her as Qing Lin, she still regarded her as a good sister. She also knew that Zi Yan had known Xiao Ming long before her, so she wouldn't mind either.
Of course, since things had gotten to this point, she had nothing more to say, she just needed to trust in him.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yi Xian quickly adjusted her mindset.
Qing Lin also anticipated his decision and wasn't greatly affected. She simply felt a twinge of reluctance about losing this opportunity.
From now on, her Young Master would be occupied with Medusa's situation, and she was considerate enough to refrain from disturbing him, at least for today.
She made up her mind to enter seclusion and focus on advancing her cultivation. With the pills provided by Xiao Ming, it wouldn't take more than a few days for her to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm.
When she finally broke through, then she could...
Medusa, on the other hand, did not say anything else, but her heart began to race. She felt a bit anxious about going to Xiao Ming's room tonight, but she was also... looking forward to it?
"Oh?"
Just then, the voice of an old man came from outside the door.
Everyone turned their heads towards the sound and saw Venerable Tian Huo, dressed in fiery red clothes, walking in with a radiant smile on his face, indicating his good mood.
Seeing that Xiao Ming and the others were all there, even Queen Medusa, he walked over and sat down on a seat next to the stone table.
"Senior Yao, you seem to be in a good mood. Did you have a big harvest at the trading fair?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Not bad at all. I managed to acquire a few high-quality beast flames. With them, I should be able to gather enough power to create the Fake Heavenly Flame," Venerable Tian Huo replied with a smile, the wrinkles on his face becoming more pronounced.
"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now?"
"Ahem, it was nothing of great importance," Xiao Ming evaded the question. It was not necessary to explain this matter.
Venerable Tian Huo didn't delve further either.
During their conversation, Xiao Ming also informed Venerable Tian Huo about their plan to move out of the inn.
Venerable Tian Huo had no objections and, given that they didn't have much to pack, they quickly left the inn and moved to their new residence.
In the blink of an eye, a seductive and charming naked body appeared between them.
'Medusa?!' Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly, 'This vixen did it on purpose!' she thought in displeasure.
Xiao Yi Xian found it hard to believe that such coincidences could happen. Nevertheless, she remained composed and simply stepped aside, choosing not to act impulsively.
