"Xiao Yi Xian, thank you!"
Hearing this, Queen Medusa smiled gently and expressed her sincere gratitude to Xiao Yi Xian. Her tone was warm and genuinely heartfelt.
In the past, as the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa was always lofty and would never speak to anyone with such politeness. However, since meeting Gu Fei and encountering individuals far stronger than herself, her pride had naturally faded.
At this moment, seeing that Xiao Yi Xian wasn't angry about her "seducing" Gu Fei, Queen Medusa instantly felt a sense of goodwill toward her.
"What should I call you, sister?"
Xiao Yi Xian exhaled deeply, adjusting her emotions as she fully accepted Queen Medusa's presence. After all, they would be living together for a long time.
"She is Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe and doesn't have an actual name. How about we call her Cai'er from now on?" Gu Fei suggested with a smile.
Seeing the two women getting along so peacefully made him very happy.
"What do you think? Do you like it?"
"Cai'er?"
(TL/n: In the wiki, her given name is Cai Lin, lmk which one you guys prefer.)
"Yes, I like it. Let's go with it, husband!"
Although Queen Medusa thought the name sounded a bit plain, since Gu Fei had chosen it, she gladly accepted it.
"I've heard tales of the fearsome Snake-People Queen, but who would have thought she'd be so gentle in front of Gu Fei," Xiao Yi Xian mused. She knew Gu Fei was no ordinary man.
At this point, Huo Zhi felt a bit awkward. Now, there were two women close to Gu Fei, yet she was not among them.
"Should I emulate Xun'er and this Cai'er girl? No, that might only make me look desperate," Huo Zhi shook her head. She understood that her situation was different. Queen Medusa succeeded because of prior intimate encounters with Gu Fei and the influence of Xun'er's provocations.
As a proud representative of the Yan Clan, Huo Zhi could not lower herself to beg for a man's affection.
"Huo Zhi, if you want to discuss fire control techniques, come back another day," Gu Fei suggested, sensing that Huo Zhi's presence was out of place.
"Thank you, Gu Fei. I'll come back in a few days."
Huo Zhi responded politely, realizing that her feelings for Gu Fei couldn't be forced. She thought that even sharing Gu Fei with other women wouldn't be so bad- if she could become one of them.
After Huo Zhi left, Xiao Yi Xian, now in a good mood, warmly took Queen Medusa inside the bamboo house.
"Cai'er, I'm still curious about your story with Gu Fei. You don't mind telling me, do you?"
Once inside, Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan sat down, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at Cai'er.
Zi Yan, in particular, was eager to hear more about Gu Fei, her eyes wide with anticipation. Gu Fei had only shared his side of the story, but there must be much more they didn't know.
Now that Huo Zhi was gone, the conversation could be more open.
What followed was an awkward time for Gu Fei.
However, Xiao Yi Xian quickly glanced at Gu Fei, pretending to be annoyed, before letting the matter slide.
During the conversation, Queen Medusa's regal demeanor naturally set her apart. With her mature and alluring figure, she exuded a beauty that was completely different from the other women.
Unconsciously, the other women began to view Cai'er as their leader, respecting her as the eldest among them.
"I can't believe Gu Fei could bear to keep you hidden in his sleeve for so long! It must have been so dark and cramped in there," Zi Yan remarked.
Gu Fei chuckled awkwardly at her words. Initially, he kept Queen Medusa hidden because she provided a significant boost to his emotions. But after seeing her naked, his feelings towards her had changed.
"Cai'er, what's your true form? I feel like you're different from other serpent-like magical beasts."
Zi Yan, being talkative, blurted out whatever came to her mind. Normally, her beastly aura would suppress others, even those stronger than her, but with Queen Medusa, that advantage seemed ineffective.
"My true form is the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!"
"The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python! No wonder- you have an ancient beast's bloodline!" Zi Yan exclaimed in surprise.
...
Although Gu Fei's bamboo house now had an additional resident, it didn't disturb the previous harmony.
"I didn't expect her to be a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, an ancient bloodline..."
Venerable Tian Huo sighed as he looked at the new member, Cai'er, realizing that yet another powerful being had joined Gu Fei's group.
The Lion King's presence was now even more overshadowed. Compared to these women, he was on a completely different level, and even the once-weak Qing Lin was quickly surpassing him.
Two days later, Huo Zhi returned to seek advice on fire control techniques.
During her visit, she noticed that Queen Medusa had seamlessly integrated into Gu Fei's circle, which made her a little envious.
"What are you thinking about? When controlling fire, you must stay focused," Gu Fei reminded her when he noticed her distraction. "I don't have much time to teach you!"
"Understood!"
Huo Zhi quickly composed herself.
After a few days of guidance, although Gu Fei hadn't taught her any techniques, her understanding of fire control had deepened considerably.
"Gu Fei, take a break... cough..."
As Gu Fei and Huo Zhi paused their training, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly began to dry heave, looking nauseated.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Fei rushed over to support Xiao Yi Xian and check her condition, but everything seemed normal.
"There's nothing wrong..."
"Wait, is that...?"
Just as he was about to retract his soul power, Gu Fei sensed a faint life force within Xiao Yi Xian's belly. He quickly focused his attention on it and realized the cause of Xiao Yi Xian's nausea.
Xiao Yi Xian was pregnant!
Gu Fei helped Xiao Yi Xian sit down, his back turned to her as he examined her condition. She couldn't see his face, but Huo Zhi did, and she noticed an expression of joy she had never seen on him before.
She couldn't figure out what could make Gu Fei so happy.
Xiao Yi Xian didn't seem to be in good condition... Huo Zhi wondered.
Gu Fei embraced Xiao Yi Xian and sat down in front of her, exclaiming with joy, "We're having a baby!"
