Chapter 29: This King Really Likes the Name Cai Lin
Wu Tian felt like he had gone completely blind. Little Cai Lin had fully transformed back into Queen Medusa, and since her transformation was directly from a tiny, bare snake into her snake human form, her graceful and mesmerizing body was now fully exposed to Wu Tian's eyes.
This overwhelming temptation was unbearable not just for Wu Tian but even for Medusa herself. She couldn't understand why her guardian spirit, after obtaining a physical form, had been gripping her so tightly. It really hurt!
Realizing where his "demonic hand" had landed, Wu Tian instantly let go, feeling incredibly awkward. He couldn't keep pushing his luck. A little temptation was one thing, but if he didn't stop now, he'd officially be a pervert.
As Medusa's guardian spirit, how could he possibly engage in such unseemly behavior? Feelings needed time to develop things couldn't be rushed.
Wu Tian admired his own restraint. He had only lightly pinched Little Cai Lin, and yet…
He felt incredibly awkward as he stared blankly at Medusa, his lips twitching into a very forced smile. "Medusa, um… just now, I… you understand, right?"
Medusa's luscious red lips curved upward slightly. Her enchanting eyes shifted toward Wu Tian's attire, and her delicate brows furrowed once more. She reached out a slender jade like finger, tapping his chest with a somewhat displeased expression.
"Guardian Spirit, why are you wearing men's clothes? Is my wardrobe not enough for you? You look much better in my outfits."
Wu Tian froze. Wait… Queen, is this really the part you should be focusing on? I literally just pinched you too hard!
But since she didn't seem to care, he decided to let it slide. If his wife didn't mind whether he wore men's or women's clothing, then… was he doomed to never escape the fate of wearing dresses?
"Pfft… hehehe~"
Seeing Wu Tian's dumbfounded expression from just twenty centimeters away, Medusa couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The contrast between her usual stern demeanor and this sudden, playful smile tugged directly at Wu Tian's heart. She's too stunning.
As he felt the warmth of her body in his arms, Wu Tian, trying to maintain his composure, stammered, "Medusa, um… shouldn't you put some clothes on first?"
He had to summon every ounce of his gentlemanly restraint to say this, but Medusa's response completely caught him off guard.
She shook her head.
Instead, she stretched out her long, jade like arms and wrapped them around Wu Tian's neck.
Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat. Is spring finally here? Are the flowers blooming?
In the next moment, he watched in shock as Medusa leaned toward him. Since his right arm was already wrapped around her, and she was now clinging onto him, his nowhere to go left hand instinctively settled around her supple waist.
Then, as expected he lost his balance.
Wu Tian toppled backward, dragging Medusa down with him. Thankfully, the Qing Lian Platform was soft enough to cushion his fall. Otherwise, he'd have definitely bruised his back.
As he hit the surface, Medusa's sensual, curvy body naturally followed, pressing down against him. Along with the faint, tantalizing fragrance of her skin, Wu Tian immediately felt a very soft sensation against his chest one that left a lasting impression.
A wicked fire ignited within Wu Tian's lower abdomen.
Unlike before, he was no longer just a spirit he had a real body now. Medusa could not only feel his increasingly heavy breaths but also the rising heat from his body.
But then, Medusa's dominant snake tail wrapped around him in a way that instantly snuffed out his wicked fire. Not only that, but it flicked slightly playfully, almost tauntingly releasing a wild and untamed allure.
At such a dangerously close distance, with Medusa's otherworldly beauty filling his vision, Wu Tian felt his willpower crumbling.
Medusa smirked mischievously. "My dear guardian spirit, I admit, you have grown stronger since gaining a physical form… but you're still lacking~."
Wu Tian's eyes twitched. Excuse me? Who exactly isn't capable here?!
You're the one with a snake tail! How is this my fault?!
Medusa seemed to read his thoughts and didn't even give him a chance to argue before abruptly changing the topic.
Her sultry, electric voice echoed in his ear again.
"Guardian Spirit, we've already been this honest with each other. But in my current state, I won't last much longer.
Even though you've seen me countless times, this is different. You can't see me now, so it should help you… hold back a little longer."
"…"
Wu Tian's lips twitched. Wife, do you even hear yourself? Isn't physical touch more overwhelming than just seeing?! Are you doing this on purpose?! I'M STRUGGLING HERE!
But Medusa ignored his expression and spoke seriously, "Guardian Spirit, my strength has not recovered yet. Right now, I don't even have the power of a Dou Huang."
"I need to absorb energy to speed up my path to Dou Zong, but your own energy is too intense for me to take in directly.
Even the Earth Core Lotus Seed's power was too much I could only absorb one third of it."
"That's why I need a gentler source of energy something I can absorb gradually.
Guardian Spirit… I need your help."
Wu Tian nodded solemnly. "Medusa, don't worry. I'm not just your guardian spirit, I'm also your man. Of course, I'll help you.
The Snake Tribe is in good hands. With me here, you don't have to worry…"
As Wu Tian seriously reassured her, Medusa's lips suddenly curved into a mesmerizing smile.
Then, in the next instant, before Wu Tian could react, her soft, warm lips pressed against his.
His eyes widened in shock.
But before he could fully process the sensation, she pulled away.
It was a brief kiss too fleeting to be satisfying. Wu Tian was both thrilled and frustrated. This was 100% teasing!
Medusa's narrow, enchanting eyes curved playfully, and a slight flush appeared on her delicate cheeks. She whispered, her voice soft and a little shy,
"Guardian Spirit, I will never say 'thank you' to you.
This… this is my reward."
As soon as she spoke, her body began to fade, turning slightly translucent.
Wu Tian's grip on her grew lighter, and his hands suddenly felt empty.
In the last moment before she fully vanished, Medusa lifted her chin with queenly pride and left him with one final statement.
"My dear guardian spirit, this king… really likes the name Cai Lin~!"
Her voice echoed in Wu Tian's ears.
He watched with a gentle smile as Medusa vanished from his arms.
The incredible warmth and softness that had just been in his hands was now gone.
Instead, a tiny, colorful snake curled up in his lap.
Wu Tian sighed helplessly, shook his head, then licked his lips and murmured with amusement,
"Cai Lin… don't worry.
We'll see each other again very soon.
And next time…
I hope you'll call me Wu Tian."
