"I knew there would definitely be a chance."
A sharp glint flashed in Huo Zhi's beautiful, enchanting eyes.
The Flame Mantra was not the only one. As long as she built a good relationship with Xiao Ting, he could arrange a Nine-Colored Origin Stone, Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python nest, and inheritance for Medusa Queen—he could do the same for others with different Dou God inheritances, or even inheritances from existences above Dou God.
As for the prerequisite that Medusa Queen needed a good relationship with him for these benefits—that was bound to happen.
It was even possible that Medusa Queen would directly become his woman, making her one of their own.
…
[Huo Zhi]: Yao Ling, you see? This is the importance of building a good relationship with Xiao Ting.
[Yao Ling]: I want to, but it doesn't match my personality. It's troubling.
[Xun Er]: I'm familiar with this too. Act like happy enemies at first, then later show a conquered appearance.
[Yao Ling]: I just want to become his friend. This is the route to becoming his woman.
[Xun Er]: You will definitely become Brother Xiao Ting's woman.
[Yao Ling]: Although his future is bright, I have the Journal copy. My future won't be bad either. There's no need for me to share him with other women, right?
[Xun Er]: I won't say much more. Here's a simple example: Becoming Brother Xiao Ting's woman allows you to obtain Dou God inheritances or even higher-realm cultivator inheritances with his help. As his friend, you would still get benefits, but only something like the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python inheritance. And you happen to know all this through the Journal. Can you really remain calm? If you can, I admire you and wish you well.
[Yao Ling]: ...
[Yun Yun]: Xun Er is right.
[Little Fairy Doctor]: Sister Yun Yun, I remember you used to think the same as Yao Ling. Sister Medusa is actually quite perceptive.
[Yun Yun]: People need to grow. Medusa is set to become a four-star Dou Saint, and she'll have a hundred Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clansmen. That's over a hundred at least Dou Venerate with theoretical Dou Saint potential, right?
[Qing Lin]: One must recognize one's own position.
[Xun Er]: Sister Huo Zhi, when you return to the Central Plains, remember to meet Cao Ying, Feng Qing Er, and Tang Huo Er. The more temptations there are, the more likely some will lose their composure. Don't affect the overall situation.
[Huo Zhi]: Understood. My aunt and I are still looking for good things the Xiao family might have left behind. I'll sort everything out for you afterward.
…
The women were all chatting in the group, except for Queen Medusa.
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but she simply didn't dare to be distracted.
The content Xiao Ting wrote in the Journal was too shocking to her heart, nearly causing her to mess up her dance.
If she got distracted chatting with these sisters now, she would lose face in front of Xiao Ting and might even reveal flaws.
Taking a deep breath, she devoted herself fully to the dance.
As for the Nine-Colored Origin Stone and Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python nest that Xiao Ting mentioned—they had long been within her grasp. She had already made her decision.
"Done!"
About a quarter of an hour later, after completing the sacrificial dance, Queen Medusa sat down with her snake tail coiled, a bright smile on her peerlessly beautiful face and a special charm in her long, narrow purple eyes.
"You can come in now. Insert into this Queen's body and ignite this Queen's bloodline."
Xiao Ting: ?
Why did that sound so strange?
With some inner complaints, Xiao Ting stepped into the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain and came to stand opposite Medusa. He extended both hands and pressed his palms against hers.
Feeling the coolness from her palms and appreciating up close Medusa's every inch of perfect, jade-like, glowing white skin and her exquisite, enchanting features, a flame rose in his lower abdomen. Even the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain could not suppress it.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and mobilized the Purple Beast Flame to gather within his body.
"Tsk." Medusa's lips curved slightly, her fiery red lips moving. "Why don't you dare look at this Queen? Afraid this Queen will eat you?"
"I'm afraid I'll eat you," Xiao Ting answered with his eyes closed, speaking very directly.
He was not some pure-hearted young boy, nor would he be manipulated by Queen Medusa.
Medusa watched the Purple Beast Flame gradually enveloping her hands. Her purple snake tail moved slightly and reached out to brush against Xiao Ting's abs.
"Don't play with fire!" Xiao Ting opened his eyes, issuing a serious warning.
"Aren't I already playing with fire!?" Medusa's gaze fell on the Purple Beast Flame, her words carrying a double meaning.
Xiao Ting's eyes narrowed. He reached out with one hand and grabbed Medusa's snake tail, exerting force while adding flames.
"Mmm!" Queen Medusa had not expected Xiao Ting to do this at all. A strange power spread from her tail, causing her entire body to lose strength in an instant. Her body instinctively leaned forward and fell into Xiao Ting's embrace.
A fragrant scent hit him. Xiao Ting instinctively reached out to hold her.
The Purple Beast Flame instantly ignited Medusa's top.
"You, let go!" Medusa's ashamed and angry voice rang out, but to Xiao Ting it carried no threat at all.
"Say you were wrong!" Xiao Ting whispered close to Medusa's ear.
"You, dream on!" Medusa's delicate body trembled slightly, her nasal voice quivering.
Xiao Ting said nothing and simply increased the force gripping the tip of her tail. Clearly, this was Queen Medusa's weak point.
More precisely, burning it with flames could expose her weakness.
"You!" A layer of peach-pink flushed across Medusa's entire body. She felt the situation becoming increasingly wrong and comforted herself that she could get even later. Thus, she opened her mouth. "This Queen… was wrong!"
Her voice was so soft it seemed almost inaudible, but Xiao Ting definitely heard it. He chose to be dissatisfied. "This Queen?"
"I… I was wrong!" Medusa gritted her silver teeth.
"Don't do it again."
Xiao Ting released his grip on her tail.
Feeling strength return, Queen Medusa immediately bit down on Xiao Ting's shoulder.
Xiao Ting did not even frown. Instead, he smiled and asked, "What, trying to brand me with your exclusive mark?"
"You actually dared to take liberties with this Queen." Queen Medusa's eyes were complex yet resolute. "With Xun Er around, this Queen cannot force anything on you. This Queen understands that clearly."
"But this Queen tells you—if you dare betray this Queen, this Queen will perish together with you in mutual destruction."
"In this life, you belong to this Queen, and this Queen belongs to you—only to you!"
This personality was indeed very much Queen Medusa.
"Alright, my Queen." Xiao Ting raised his hand and summoned the Purple Beast Flame. "First complete the evolution. I've already taken enough advantages from you. I also won't let you fall into anyone else's arms—unless both you and the person you fancy want to die."
Queen Medusa very much liked his words declaring ownership. This time she obediently raised her hands and pressed her palms against his.
But the next moment, she nearly went into cultivation deviation.
…
[Queen Medusa tried to seduce me but ended up being pinned down by me instead.]
[Because of Xun Er's deterrence, she doesn't dare harm me and has decided to become my partner.]
[Xun Er truly brings fortune to her husband. When we go to the Great Thousand World, I'll find a way to plan the Primal Origin Body for her.]
[Queen is also very fragrant. A Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python is no less than ordinary super divine beasts. The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python body carries a unique fragrance, and its power reaches the heavens—it will definitely be even more fragrant.]

The women: !!!
