"Sister Medusa, you really don't suffer any losses." Yun Yun shook her head with a light laugh.
She got the benefits and could even recognize a Seven-Star Dou Saint as a sister—this was truly eating and taking at the same time.
"This Queen eats everything except losses." Medusa raised her hand and condensed a Battle Qi longsword. "Let's exchange a few moves first. What if Xiao Ting has a way to sense it?"
Yun Yun: ?
I suspect you just want to take the opportunity to bully me, and I have evidence.
…
About an hour later, Yun Yun followed Medusa back to the Xiao family, accompanied by Hai Bodong, whom they had "coincidentally" encountered.
At the entrance to Xun Er's small courtyard, the three ran into Xiao Ting, who was about to leave.
"Queen, this is…?"
Xiao Ting nodded to Hai Bodong in greeting, his gaze sweeping over the dejected Yun Yun behind Medusa, and he looked puzzled.
"You should have heard of the Misty Cloud Sect's sect leader. She didn't know her own weight and actually dared to provoke this Queen. I sealed her cultivation and brought her back to serve as a maid who pours tea and serves water." As Medusa spoke, she also glanced at Hai Bodong.
"Correct." Hai Bodong shivered all over and immediately put on the air of a senior to criticize Yun Yun. "Your teacher Yun Shan was no match for Queen either. Back then, this seat was a Five-Star Dou Emperor and was also sealed by Queen."
"You, a mere junior who is only a Three-Star Dou Emperor, actually dared to make a move against Queen. Ending up like this is entirely your own fault."
Yun Yun suddenly raised her head, her expression somewhat displeased as she said, "Hai Bodong, you are a human powerhouse of the Jia Ma Empire. It's one thing that you didn't help me against Queen Medusa earlier, but now you're even putting on the airs of a senior to lecture me?"
"Ridiculous." Hai Bodong recalled that his relationship with Yun Shan had been decent before, so he had felt a bit embarrassed. Now his eyes turned cold. "We are neither relatives nor friends. Why should I help you?"
"If I had made a move earlier, there would simply be one more person sealed right now."
He would have to be brain-damaged or not have suffered enough hard days to help Yun Yun against Medusa.
Please, this was Queen Medusa. He really couldn't understand how Yun Yun had the courage to fight her.
A newborn calf not afraid of tigers?
"Little Friend Xiao Ting has shown me kindness. My Miteer family wants to form an alliance with the Xiao family, while your Misty Cloud Sect has just given the Xiao family embarrassment." Hai Bodong spoke righteously. "Queen is Little Friend Xiao Ting's guest. The one clearly standing in opposition is you."
Yun Yun: "..."
In the script she had prepared, this Hai Bodong who had accidentally crashed the scene actually performed the best.
"Do you want to die?" Queen Medusa's eyes turned cold as she looked at Yun Yun.
Yun Yun clenched her hands, her expression becoming extremely ugly.
But facing Medusa's gaze, she took a deep breath: "You just want to humiliate this sect leader. This sect leader is not afraid."
"Then go heat water for this Queen. Later you will be responsible for washing this Queen's snake tail. After this Queen fully transforms, you will also be responsible for washing my feet." Medusa stood with one hand on her hip, her purple snake tail swaying as she gracefully walked forward.
Yun Yun: "..."
"A Dou Emperor powerhouse washing someone's feet—this is a scene I've never seen before. Can I observe?" Xiao Ting suddenly became interested.
Medusa and Yun Yun's expressions stiffened.
…
[Yun Yun]: Sister Medusa, we played it too far.
[Medusa]: It has to match this Queen's personality. This is exactly the kind of thing this Queen would make you do.
[Yun Yun]: Then what do we do?
…
"Xiao Ting, you're also taking the chance to humiliate me!?" Yun Yun looked at Xiao Ting with a humiliated expression—this also matched the attitude she should have now.
"Right now is exactly like one year ago." Xiao Ting moved closer to Yun Yun, his tone playful. "That day, Nalan Yanran mocked my third brother as a cripple, just like I'm doing now."
"Your cultivation is sealed right now, so you're pretty much a cripple too. What's wrong with me mocking you a little?"
"You!" Yun Yun's expression changed several times. Then she raised her hand and condensed a Battle Qi longsword. "My cultivation is only sealed, not gone. It's not your place to mock me."
"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao Ting also released his own aura and raised his hand to condense a long spear with Battle Qi. "I'm Spirit now. You may not be able to beat me."
"Dou Spirit!!!" Yun Yun revealed an incredulous expression. "You're only fifteen. How can you be a Dou Spirit?"
"Sect Leader Yun Yun, shall we have a bout?" Xiao Ting didn't answer. He casually swung the long spear in his hand.
With the many secret arts and dou techniques he now mastered, plus his cultivation method's rank being higher than Yun Yun's, he could really win in a same-realm fight.
"This seat doesn't want to gain a reputation for bullying the young." Yun Yun's expression became complicated. Suddenly she gave a self-mocking laugh and turned to Medusa. "Queen Medusa, let's go."
Medusa stood with one hand on her hip and looked sideways at Xiao Ting. "This Queen has no weird hobby of letting the opposite sex watch while washing my snake tail."
"Just joking." Xiao Ting casually dismissed the long spear and smiled. "I just wanted the always high-and-mighty Sect Leader Yun Yun to experience what it feels like to be bullied and mocked, that's all."
"It would only be interesting if you achieve this with your own strength later." Medusa gave a light shout and led Yun Yun away.
"However." After they had walked some distance, Medusa turned back to look at Xiao Ting. "If you want to experience being served by the Misty Cloud Sect's sect leader, this Queen can agree—but it depends on your sincerity. Empty words won't do."
Yun Yun: ?
I'm only acting as a maid!
…
"Old Hai, I'll take you to see my uncle. Let the person in charge from the Miteer family talk to him. Just in time—something happened recently that requires the Miteer family's full assistance."
After the two women left, Xiao Ting took Hai Bodong to the discussion hall to meet Xiao Zhan.
The Xiao family's higher-ups were still there, discussing specific plans.
When Hai Bodong entered, they suddenly felt there was no need to go to so much trouble.
In the face of absolute strength, a mere small Jia Lie family wasn't worth them racking their brains over.
After Xiao Zhan took charge of receiving Hai Bodong and making subsequent arrangements, Xiao Ting returned to his own small courtyard.
Lying on the bed, he wrote what had just happened into the Journal.
…
[This woman Yun Yun is truly hard to evaluate.]
[I thought that after the Amethyst Winged Lion King was slain by the guard beside Xun Er, she wouldn't have the situation of provoking someone and getting sealed.]
[In the end, she provoked Queen Medusa, got sealed by Queen Medusa, and was captured and brought to my Xiao family.]
[It seems she is destined to be sealed and had to go through this.]
[Moreover, when she was sealed, she became fated with my Xiao family.]
[A Dou Emperor and sect leader becoming Queen Medusa's maid.]
[The urge to bully her and watch her feel stifled and unhappy yet unable to do anything to me is stronger than ever before.]
…
Yun Yun: "..."
"Don't look at this Queen." Medusa slowly sipped her tea. "This was your own idea."
Yun Yun wanted to cry but had no tears.
To appear reasonably around Xiao Ting, she had really paid too much.
"The Body Transformation Grass I obtained last time is definitely worth it for the plane blessing." Yun Yun comforted herself.
Medusa's lips curved. "The plane blessing is indeed tempting. I'm preparing to break through soon."
Yun Yun: ???
