"Sister Medusa's action speed is really strong."
Xun Er played with the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame while skillfully using a certain exclusive secret technique.
She slightly tilted her head and looked at Yun Yun. "Sister Yun Yun, learn well from this."
Yun Yun restrained the shock in her heart and began thinking seriously.
All along, she had thought Xun Er and Medusa were just joking. Naturally, she would not foolishly "fall for it."
After all, Xun Er was the daughter of a nine-star Dou Saint and the daughter of an Ancient Clan leader. She and Xiao Ting were childhood sweethearts with both strength and emotional foundation, so she had the power and reason not to let other women get close.
Queen Medusa was the queen of the Snake-People Tribe—ruthless, fierce, and renowned for her ferocity. She shook the surrounding empires and had never shown any mercy to men. It was hard to imagine her actively approaching a man who already had a partner.
But reality told her that Xun Er accepted it very well and did not seem to mind at all.
Queen Medusa was also very proactive, making her seem unlike herself.
"Xun Er, do you really not mind?" Yun Yun held it in for a while before asking.
As soon as she spoke, she secretly cursed herself for being stupid.
"Not mind?" Xun Er smiled faintly, her gaze distant. "Sister Yun Yun, if you were me, would you not mind?"
"I would definitely mind, and I would have the right to mind," Yun Yun answered very honestly.
"Yes." Xun Er pursed her pink lips, her gaze sweeping over Yun Yun, the Little Fairy Doctor, and Qing Lin. She smiled sweetly. "How could I not mind? But since it can't be changed, why not accept it calmly? It's good for everyone."
Even if she minded, so what? Was she supposed to make a scene with Xiao Ting?
If she won the scene, she would still lose. Xiao Ting loved and respected her and would listen to her, but it might create a rift, and it would also wrong Xiao Ting.
If she lost the scene, she would lose everything and never get Xiao Ting back.
Unless "one lifetime, one pair" was her bottom line, there was no need to make a scene.
If there were no Journal, she would have confidence that Xiao Ting's heart and eyes were filled only with her. She had that confidence.
But with the Journal copies existing, she could not block those women from approaching, nor could she stop Xiao Ting from becoming so powerful that she could not hold onto him.
Since that was the case, why do unnecessary things? It was better to position herself as the head of the harem from the very beginning.
She believed she was the one Xiao Ting loved most, and the updated Journal content confirmed it.
"Sister Medusa's attitude on this matter is very much in sync with mine." Xun Er put away the flame and took out a scroll to read. "Both of us dare to love and hate. Once we decide on something, we go all out. She's just stubborn with her words but decisive in action and very straightforward."
"As for you, Sister Yun Yun, you seem very open on the surface, but in reality you're a bit indecisive. In Brother Xiao Ting's words, you're 'twisted.'"
"Some things, once you understand your true heart, you should grasp them sooner or later. Why waste time?"
"Mhm, mhm, mhm." Qing Lin nodded repeatedly, muttering that Sister Xun Er was right.
From the beginning, she had been very pure—she wanted to become Young Master's personal maid who would accompany him forever.
As for what a maid should do, that would depend on what Young Master wanted her to do. For example, serving as Xun Er's maid for a while first.
"Xun Er, you're pointing at me." The Little Fairy Doctor shook her head with a shallow smile.
"I'm not. Sister Little Fairy Doctor, don't talk nonsense. Don't I know you?" Xun Er reached out and hugged the Little Fairy Doctor, her eyes smiling. "We slept together even earlier than with Brother Xiao Ting. I know your depth, and you know my curves."
"You're such a female hooligan." The Little Fairy Doctor thought of something, and the tips of her ears flushed red.
Fortunately, Xun Er and she were both women, so they could not truly know each other's depths.
Yun Yun watched this scene and fell into deep, serious thought.
…
Xiao Ting was unaware of this lily-filled, infinitely good scene.
At this moment, he controlled the Purple Beast Flame to envelop Queen Medusa's entire body. The powerful flame energy surged into her, clashing with the yin-cold nature of her Snake-People Tribe bloodline.
Suppressed by the flame energy she disliked most, the yin-cold power within Medusa's bloodline was fully released, also bringing out the deeply hidden Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline power.
At the same time, the Quiet Purple Flame Serpent soul was awakened by that strand of flame. The power accumulated during this period through plane blessings and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python remnant soul began to perfectly integrate.
Under normal circumstances, this was an extremely fast process. Medusa would need to push through in one go, enduring heavy injuries as she accepted the lightning tribulation baptism.
But this time was different. The Purple Beast Flame rapidly drove the power hidden in her bloodline, accelerating the evolution.
Moreover, while bringing harm to Medusa, the life force continuously repaired her.
This resulted in Medusa's evolution being both fast and stable, with almost no damage.
During this refining process, Xiao Ting also gained considerable benefits. After the Purple Beast Flame circulated through Medusa's body and returned to his, it brought him extremely pure Battle Qi energy from a peak Dou Emperor expert. Moreover, it had been refined by the Purple Beast Flame and could be directly absorbed and devoured.
Dou Spirit two-star…
Dou Spirit three-star…
"Rumble!"
When Xiao Ting's extremely solid and stable cultivation reached Dou Spirit four-star, black cloud layers began gathering in the sky.
Silver and purple lightning wandered within the clouds. The terrifying energy was compressed to the extreme, forming a fearsome attack.
This was heaven's test for a magical beast's evolution, but it was also an opportunity that would elevate and reshape the magical beast's bloodline.
"This Queen is going."
Queen Medusa opened her eyes, leaned down to plant a light kiss on Xiao Ting's forehead, and then released a layer of energy from her body that shot toward the sky.
When the light dissipated, she manifested her Quiet Purple Flame Serpent form, dozens of zhang long, with purple scales gleaming with a cold metallic luster.
"Boom!"
The Quiet Purple Flame Serpent plunged headfirst into the clouds and collided with the lightning inside.
This was very much in line with Queen Medusa's personality. Instead of passively waiting for heaven's lightning tribulation to test her, she chose to contend with the heavens.
In the original, her bloodline and soul power had been far weaker than now, and she had even been heavily injured by the Green Lotus Core Flame, yet she had still successfully passed the tribulation. There was naturally no need to say more now.
…
About a quarter of an hour later, the commotion in the sky began to subside. The dark clouds started dissipating, and sunlight poured through the layers, scattering in all directions.
Xiao Ting watched the sky with a solemn expression, afraid that what he had brought Medusa was not ease but variables.
Suddenly, a seven-colored light orb appeared in the sky, with a human figure faintly visible inside.
Seeming to sense Xiao Ting's gaze, a spatial crack appeared beside the seven-colored light orb, and it directly entered it.
Immediately after, a spatial crack appeared in front of Xiao Ting. Before he could react, a zhang-tall light orb appeared and rushed straight toward him. It carried no harm, however, and instead emanated a special warm energy fluctuation.
The moment he entered the light orb, Xiao Ting felt two hands placed on his chest, pushing him down to the ground.
Immediately after, two long, slender, snow-white jade legs pressed down on his thighs.
A fragrant breeze assailed him.
"Does this Queen smell good?"
Xiao Ting: !!!
After the transformation ended, shouldn't what he saw be a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!?
