"I would never use such a lame reason."
Seeing all the women looking at her, Yun Yun's cheeks inexplicably heated up.
Clearly she had not thought that way in her heart, but for some reason she felt a bit guilty.
"I am Yun Yun. Why would I need to use such a method to become someone's woman?" Yun Yun said as if cheering herself on.
At that moment, Xiao Ting's update continued.
…
[I'll just say a word to the Queen to fulfill the promise, but I can't guarantee that Queen Medusa will let her go.]
[Helping her regain her freedom is absolutely impossible. A Dou Emperor maid is so useful—she should just keep being used.]
[In the end, I gave Queen Medusa a hint with my eyes. She's so smart, she should understand what I mean.]
[I won't go back on my word.]
[But Yun Yun will absolutely not regain her freedom.]
…
Yun Yun: ?
Yun Yun: !
"You even secretly reached such a tacit understanding with him!?"
Yun Yun looked at Medusa with the eyes of someone looking at a traitor.
"Don't wrong this Queen." Seeing the other women also looking at her, Medusa explained, "This Queen just didn't want to reveal any flaws. Earlier, when Xiao Ting promised to speak for you, this Queen was about to mock him as she pleased."
"But then he gave me an eye signal, so I knew he had another plan. I decided to listen to what he would say later. Now he's written it directly in the Journal, which actually cleared things up for me. However…"
Medusa gave Yun Yun a deep look. "Logically speaking, I would have gone with the flow and let you go later, making him drop his jaw in shock. But if you don't behave obediently, this Queen will have to fulfill his inner thoughts."
Feeling threatened and seeing that there were many people around now, Yun Yun immediately began to cry foul. "Sister Medusa, isn't this a bit much? My maid role is just an act! An act!"
"It's not an act—it's your true colors shining through." Queen Medusa patted Yun Yun's shoulder. "If you have the guts, stop acting."
"I…" Yun Yun looked toward Xun Er for help, but the latter lowered her head and continued reading the ancient scroll in her hands.
The Little Fairy Doctor pulled Qing Lin to her feet with a gentle smile. "Qing Lin, I feel like eating hawthorn cake today."
"Sure, Qing Lin will try making some." Qing Lin nodded slightly, anticipation hidden in her large eyes. "Young Master Xiao Ting likes it too. I'll make more so he can store it in his storage ring and eat whenever he wants."
Yun Yun: !
I've just been abandoned like this!?
So frustrating. When will the Misty Cloud Sect leader be able to stand up?
…
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Xiao Ting asked Yao Lao for a day off from practicing alchemy and went to find Queen Medusa.
"Go to the back mountain of your Xiao family. This Queen has set up an energy barrier there over many days. If any special situation occurs, Xun Er and Senior Ling Yue can step in to help in time. There's also no need to worry about being too far away and letting Yun Yun escape from this Queen's grasp." Medusa nodded at Xiao Ting.
"No problem." Xiao Ting readily agreed.
The two headed to the Xiao family back mountain together and arrived at a shaded spot halfway up the mountain. A pool had been paved with jade stones here, filled with Ice Spirit Cold Fountain.
Medusa swayed her figure as she entered it and began dancing a dance as if no one else was around, perfectly displaying her graceful figure and golden curves.
…
[Queen Medusa received the damaged magic core and remnant soul of a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python from Xun Er, causing her Quiet Purple Flame Serpent bloodline to evolve to an extremely high grade.]
[Now she only needs a small catalyst to begin the final evolution. Once successful, she will be a Dou Ancestor expert with the main body of a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.]
[The Purple Beast Flame I possess is the best catalyst, capable of helping her open the evolution with one hundred percent success and tenfold safety.]
[Before beginning the evolution, she started dancing. Just treat it as my fee.]
[Although I don't understand what this dance is for, it has a unique charm and beauty. As the only viewer, it feels quite nice.]
…
The women holding Journal copies: !
With this record, you're no longer the only one who has seen Queen Medusa's dance.
However, the one personally seeing it on site was indeed the only one—and the only male.
…
"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python magic core and remnant soul that Gu Xun Er gave?"
In the Wind Lightning Mountain Range of the Central Plains, Feng Qing Er, who was cultivating a certain Dou technique, lightly curled her lips, envy hidden in her eyes.
She could confirm that this was all just an excuse. The truth was that under the accumulation of plane blessings, Queen Medusa had evolved.
From this, it seemed those women had already reached a cooperation. Gu Xun Er was even actively covering for Queen Medusa.
Objectively speaking, she felt Xun Er was quite foolish. With such status, she actually allowed other women to get close to Xiao Ting.
Subjectively speaking, she felt this was a good thing. In the future, when she approached Xiao Ting, she would not have to fear offending Xun Er.
…
"Everyone else is progressing, while I'm just waiting to be taken as a disciple."
In the Cao family of the Pill Region, Cao Ying sat by a small stream, dipping her jade feet into the water, holding her cheeks as she quietly looked at her own reflection.
At that moment, the Journal content continued updating, causing everyone's pupils to shrink.
…
[The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python possesses ancient bloodline and theoretically has the qualification to become a saint, with no bottlenecks at least up to Dou Venerate.]
[When Queen Medusa's cultivation reaches Dou Venerate, if my relationship with her is good, I will take her to that Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python nest.]
[There is a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python inheritance inside that nest. In the original story, she fully received it and grew to four-star Dou Saint, but that actually affected her foundation somewhat.]
[I can first find the Nine-Colored Origin Stone, help her evolve her bloodline to a Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, and then go receive the inheritance. Her foundation will only become deeper.]
[I will also obtain over a hundred Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python souls, all of which can be used on clan members via the Snake-People Tribe's secret method.]
[In a few decades, the Snake-People Tribe will have over a hundred snake-people whose main bodies are Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons.]
[I hope she will become my friend. I am someone who yields to softness but not hardness.]
…
As a transmigrator, Xiao Ting naturally did not plan to rely on soft rice to reach the peak.
But since he knew women could see the Journal content, he felt at ease eating soft rice.
On the surface, he was eating soft rice, but in reality, he was advancing like a rocket step by step thanks to his cheat. The soft rice was only supplementary.
Moreover, the women willing to feed him soft rice could obtain even more from him.
…
"Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python nest?"
"Receive the inheritance upon reaching Dou Venerate and directly become a Dou Saint!?"
Seeing Xiao Ting point out such a targeted opportunity for the first time, the women's hearts all pounded with excitement. Even Ancient Clan descendants like Huo Zhi and Yao Ling, or Feng Qing Er, the daughter of a Dou Saint, could not avoid feeling emotionally stirred.
After receiving the inheritance and coming out of seclusion, one would be a four-star Dou Saint—stronger than most Dou Saints in their clans. The number who could defeat Medusa could be counted on one hand.
Yet Medusa had only cultivated for how long? She was extremely young compared to the Dou Saints in their clans.
Most terrifying of all was the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python aptitude, with no bottlenecks even up to seven-star Dou Saint.
Who could resist such temptation?
At least, they could not.
