Chapter 157 Queen Medusa's Request
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Xiao Se woke up from his training.
The X-ray Eyes looked at the Little Medical Fairy fusing her soul bone in the room. Then he looked at the Little Cat who was cultivating Dou Qi in another room. Xiao Se couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on his face and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that it will take another two days for the Little Medical Fairy to refine her soul bone. But the little cat's training speed is quite fast. He cultivated Dou Qi according to my method, and then refined the soul power in his body. He broke through to the third stage of Dou Qi overnight. There is still more than half a month before Canaan College enrolls, and he should be able to catch up."
He lowered his footsteps, slowly walked out of the wooden house, took out the kitchen utensils, and was about to make breakfast when he saw a beautiful figure standing on a huge rock.
The oncoming breeze made the three thousand strands of black hair under the crown fly vigorously, and the swaying skirt outlined the woman's perfect body curves.
The woman was wearing a red dress and a crown on her head, gazing calmly at the distant horizon. Her beautiful face was as charming as a blooming snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, noble and untainted by dust.
At this moment, Queen Medusa was frowning slightly, and a hint of sadness flashed across her beautiful lavender eyes as if she had something on her mind.
Noticing Xiao Se approaching from behind, Queen Medusa did not turn her head. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and then ignored him.
"She wouldn't have just stood outside all night." Strok- ing his chin, this thought quickly flashed through his mind. Xiao Se took out a robe from his ring, tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and jumped onto the boulder easily.
"As a girl, you shouldn't be afraid of catching a cold if you stay outside for most of the night." He gently put the robe on Medusa's shoulders and said with a desolate smile.
Medusa glanced at Xiao Se, tightened the robe on her shoulders, and said in a cold voice: "Is this how you make girls happy and trick them into your hands?"
"Uh." Xiao Se pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled awkwardly: "I just want to remind you to take care of your body. After all, your body is the revolution. Oh no, it is the capital to maintain strong strength. You still have to shoulder the important task of leading the snake people out of the desert."
"I am a Dou Zong, I won't catch a cold." Queen Medusa said unhappily.
"Oh." Xiao Se nodded slowly. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Are you worried about something? Tell me. Maybe I can help you."
Hearing this, Medusa was slightly startled, and then she sighed softly. She turned to look at Xiao Se and said seriously, "I do have something to ask of you. If you can help me, as long as it does not harm the interests of the snake people, I can agree to any other conditions, including my health."
If it were in the past, Xiao Se would be very happy and would have verbally flattered Queen Medusa.
But now I can't laugh at all.
Seeing the determination in Queen Medusa's eyes, Xiao Se knew that Queen Medusa was indeed asking for it, and even offered her own body as a reward.
As for what could make the proud Queen Medusa degenerate herself, give up her dignity, and beg someone in such a servile manner, Xiao Se had a vague guess in his heart.
"You don't need to talk about your body. I admit that you are beautiful. Apart from Long Kui, Dong Er, and Xue Er, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. If I say that I am not attracted to you, it must be a lie. But love is not a business, let alone a trade."
At this point, Xiao Se paused slightly, put his hands behind his back, turned around looked at the distant sky, and said seriously: "The woman I, Xiao Se, like has a heart as clear as a mirror and eyes as bright as stars. She has seen all the ugliness in the world, but she is still kind, elegant, and calm."
(PS: This is what Ye Chen, the protagonist of the anime "Lord of All Realms", said to one of the female protagonists, Mu Qingxue.)
"Whether it's Long Kui, Dong'er, Little Medical Fairy, Zhu Qing, Xiao Yu, Ya Fei, or even Qing Lin who has gone to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to practice. Each of them is a kind-hearted girl. So I have always treated them sincerely."
"Even to you, Queen Medusa, I treat you sincerely. If you regard me, Xiao Se, as a villain who only cares about beauty and forgets his loyalty, then you are underestimating me too much."
After saying this, Medusa was already stunned. She looked at Xiao Se with astonishment in her beautiful eyes. She found that she was beginning to be unable to see through the other person, or perhaps she had never really seen through him from the very beginning.
As if he felt that he had pretended enough, Xiao Se cleared his throat, turned to look at Medusa, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what's the matter."
Medusa nodded solemnly and said, "Although I have been suppressed by the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python for most of the past year and fell into a deep sleep, I am not completely ignorant of the outside world. On the contrary, I have been observing you in secret. When you devoured the strange fire fused from the essence of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, I happened to hear the conversation between Bibi Dong, Long Kui, and the little girl named Zhu Qing."
"I learned everything that happened between you from the mouth of the powerful being from another world named Bibi Dong. You were very kind to her and even saved her fate. Even I couldn't help but feel a little moved by what happened between the two of you."
"So I want to ask you a favor."
Xiao Se nodded slightly and raised his hand to signal Medusa to continue.
"I have a younger sister, she and I are identical twins. At that time, the Snake People were supposed to have two Dou Huangs. But because of the corrupt clan rule that 'the Snake People can only have one Medusa Queen', we had to kill each other."
"My sister is very kind. To protect me, she voluntarily gave up the throne of Queen Medusa and then used the forbidden space teleportation technique to leave. But that forbidden technique was simply not something a Dou Huang could withstand. Although she survived by chance, she lost her memory because of it."
"You have also lost a precious memory. I think you know what that means. Since then, my sister has lived a wandering life."
"The snake people did not let her go. Almost the entire tribe went out to hunt her down. If... If I had made up my mind in time and resisted fate, my sister would not have..."
Speaking of this, even someone as proud as Medusa was already in tears.
For the first time, Xiao Se saw Medusa crying.
The crystal fairy tears slid down Medusa's beautiful face, looking so strange and so sad on her peerless beauty.
"What happened to her later?" Xiao Se raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Medusa's eyes and asked softly.
Queen Medusa sighed and said, "She's missing. According to the information I got, my sister was caught by human traffickers while she was in exile in the desert. The last person to see my sister was Hai Bodong. According to him, a mysterious man in black robes killed the human traffickers and took my sister away. Hai Bodong accepted my commission but made my sister disappear in front of him, so I beat him up, which led to his sealing later."
