Chapter 18: When I Reward You Later
"In the past few days, you must have sensed the presence of a sixth tier magical beast deep in the desert. That beast, known as the two headed Fire Spirit Snake, evolved into a sixth tier due to a Heavenly Flame," Medusa stated plainly.
All the strong members of the Snake People tribe inside the great hall understood what Queen Medusa intended when they heard about the Heavenly Flame.
Everyone immediately knelt down, trying to dissuade her, "Your Majesty…"
"Your Majesty... please, reconsider! The failure rate for that endeavor is extremely high! With you and the Guardian Spirit, our Snake People can rapidly expand our influence. Where can't we go?"
The Head Elder spoke timidly, trying to persuade her. After he spoke, he realized he was being set up by the crowd.
Can't anyone act decently here? Why am I the only one trying to persuade until the end?
Queen Medusa smiled slightly, "Head Elder, you needn't worry. With the Guardian Spirit by my side, my chances of successfully evolving will greatly increase. The likelihood of success will be much higher than failure. And remember, I am not asking for your opinion; I am commanding! From today, the palace will be under strict guard. Notify all Snake People to gather in the royal city. Any humans who intrude are to be eliminated."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
...
Meanwhile, in the Jia Ma Empire, Pill King Gu He acted like a negotiator in a battlefield, persuading the empire's ten greatest warriors, including the old monster Jia Xingtian.
As a sixth grade alchemist, Gu He was respected by Jia Xingtian, who listened obediently after their meeting when Gu He exaggerated, "Queen Medusa has obtained the Heavenly Flame and will become a Dou Zong powerhouse!"
After listening, Jia Xingtian obeyed, and Gu He then went to Yunlan Sect to meet with Sect Leader Yun Yun, repeating the same message. He managed to enlist the support of two Dou Huangs without even spending any favors, not to mention the other Dou Wangs.
However, as Gu He left, in the back mountain, the old monster Yunshan was seen speaking with a drifting shadow about something unknown...
Elsewhere, Wu Tian and Queen Medusa returned to where they first met, a place of profound memories.
"Guardian Spirit, you previously said you were this queen's man. You are quite bold!" Medusa teased, licking her lips softly.
"I dislike the way those Snake People chiefs look at you," Wu Tian responded.
Hearing this, Medusa's cheeks flushed delicately, a fleeting scene.
Ignoring Wu Tian, she continued forward while Wu Tian admired the beautiful scenery within, thinking, "Our home is so beautiful!"
This was his first visit here as the de facto man of the house. The place was a large lake with a small island in the center where they had first met. The lake's surface shimmered without any bridges leading to the island. Medusa flew directly to the island, setting up an energy barrier that squeezed any flying objects into the lake.
Medusa also infused the lake with a potent toxin, one of the fiercest poisons known to the Snake People. Even a Dou Wang would be in trouble if they so much as touched it.
Reaching the island's center, Medusa blasted a small hole next to the central lake at Wu Tian's request.
Wu Tian then began his work not with a hiss this time, but a direct release. An entire pool of Ice Cold Spring appeared in this small pit. By size, the pit was a bit too small since some of the Ice Cold Spring slightly overflowed, but that was negligible.
Looking at the large pool of Ice Cold Spring, Medusa admired, "Guardian Spirit, you have so much water!"
Wu Tian's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, "Not as much as you, my queen!"
With the Ice Cold Spring released, Wu Tian also brought out the Ice Lotus Platform, upon which sat the Green Lotus Core Flame.
After setting it up, he turned to Medusa tenderly, "Medusa, we can begin now."
"Mmm," Medusa nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Queen Medusa, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, encapsulated her voluptuous body, emitting an alluring charm. Her slender purple eyes flickered seductively, and her purple snake tail lazily moved, exuding wild allure.
"Don't worry, with me here!" Wu Tian also responded.
Wu Tian was captivated by Medusa, especially by her soft response, which made him agree instantly.
Hearing Wu Tian's response, Medusa's eyes hardened with resolve. Wu Tian waved his hand, and the Ice Lotus Platform trembled violently; the white barrier on it suddenly vanished.
As the barrier disappeared, the unrestrained Green Lotus Core Flame burst forth, growing rapidly in the wind, and in a blink, it transformed into a roaring blaze.
Beneath it, the Ice Cold Spring evaporated at a visible rate. Medusa lightly bit her lip, her slender hand beginning to slowly unbutton the brocade on her robe with golden trims.
As she shed the red corset, a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship was revealed to Wu Tian's eyes.
Her beautiful face unintentionally exuded a fairy like allure, her long and pale neck showed a graceful curve, and a droplet of water emerged from her neck, rolling down, traversing mountains and seas, drawing a stunning arc before falling.
Her slender waist was barely a handful, yet it showed a resilience, her flat and delicate abdomen devoid of any fat, prompting Wu Tian to imagine their blissful life together in the future.
Even though it wasn't Wu Tian's first time seeing this, he couldn't help feeling flustered, almost letting the Green Lotus Core Flame escape as he contemplated refining Medusa himself.
But as if Medusa knew his thoughts, she teasingly beckoned him with her jade finger, an unbearably seductive gesture.
As the purple robe fell to the ground, Medusa stepped forward, her gaze hazy as she gently kissed Wu Tian's ethereal cheek, "Guardian Spirit Wu Tian, once I succeed in evolving, I shall reward you well later~!"
In the next instant, Medusa removed the hairband binding her hair, her eyes tightly closed, her hands continuously forming strange seals.
Her body was enveloped by a thick light that pulsated rapidly. Moments later, a roar, akin to that of a lion or a tiger, resounded from within the light.
Wu Tian touched his cheek, blinking in amazement, "Wow~ so long, so thick, such a grand purple wife~!"
