"This matter is very important to Her Majesty, and I'd like to discuss it privately. How about we go retrieve the yuan ling fruit tree first?"
Chu Xiao seemed oblivious to the Killing Intent in Medusa's tone, a calm smile on his face.
Medusa's narrow eyes squinted. After a brief thought, she looked at Yue Mei: "You're still here?"
Yue Mei: "…"
"This subordinate takes her leave!"
Yue Mei decisively turned to depart.
Just then, Chu Xiao spoke again: "Commander Yue Mei, could you give me the yuan ling fruit?"
"Hmm?" Yue Mei turned to look at Chu Xiao, her eyes filled with wariness.
The Snake-People Clan and the Human Race had long been enemies, and she herself didn't particularly like the Human Race.
However, Chu Xiao had a personal connection with Medusa and had helped her when she was in danger, so she naturally felt a bit of goodwill towards him.
But if he was eyeing her precious possessions—
"Why are you looking at this King?"
Seeing Yue Mei look at her, Medusa crossed her arms, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Cough." Yue Mei quietly explained: "Man, although you wanted to save this commander, and this commander is very grateful, it was ultimately Her Majesty who saved this commander. Even if the yuan ling fruit is to be given away, it should be offered to Her Majesty."
Medusa's brows furrowed even deeper. She had a feeling Yue Mei was testing something.
Chu Xiao, on the other hand, guessed a bit of it and found it somewhat amusing.
"Note to self: Yue Mei seems to have misunderstood my relationship with Cai Lin."
"One could say she has great taste. It seems Cai Lin and I already look like a married couple."
"In the future, when taking care of the Snake-People Clan, I can give her a little more benefit as a reward for her discernment."
Medusa: "…"
She, however, thought Yue Mei's eyes could be gouged out if she didn't want them.
"Commander Yue Mei, you've misunderstood." Chu Xiao raised his hand and summoned the Thunder-Gang Imperial Flame: "I am an Alchemist, capable of refining Peak fifth-grade Medicinal Pill, the Dou Ling Pill."
Yue Mei's face immediately lit up with surprise: "So you're also a fifth-grade Alchemist! I knew Her Majesty wouldn't fall for a pretty face…"
"Hmm?" Medusa released a hint of Killing Intent.
She dared to gossip about her right in front of her.
"Here, here, take it all!" Yue Mei felt a chill down her spine, realizing she had gotten carried away. She immediately handed two yuan ling fruits to Chu Xiao and also took out a pile of Medicinal Materials: "These are the Medicinal Materials I spent over a decade collecting to refine the Dou Ling Pill. The auxiliary materials can be used for three batches of Dou Ling Pill, and there are more yuan ling fruits on the yuan ling fruit tree."
"I know your Alchemist rules, and I don't want too much. As long as you can give me one Dou Ling Pill, all other Medicinal Materials are yours."
On the Dou Qi Continent, there was an unwritten but accepted rule.
If one wanted to ask an Alchemist to refine a Medicinal Pill, they needed to prepare at least two sets of Medicinal Materials.
If the first refinement was successful, the second set of Medicinal Materials belonged to the Alchemist.
If the second refinement was successful, a high fee for their service was still required.
If neither attempt succeeded, it was simply bad luck, and one bore the loss themselves.
Even if you paid, an Alchemist's willingness to act for you was still a favor.
Hence, Alchemists had many friends!
"No problem, I will present the Dou Ling Pill to you then." Chu Xiao collected all the Medicinal Materials.
He would ask Yao Lao to refine the Medicinal Pill, ensuring a hundred percent success rate, which meant he would essentially get two sets of auxiliary materials and one yuan ling fruit for free.
If Medusa shared another yuan ling fruit with him, he could be said to have gotten two Dou Ling Pills for free, enough to enlist two Dou Kings to work for him.
"This subordinate bids farewell."
Yue Mei saluted Medusa again, then turned and left, unable to hide the smile on her face.
As expected of Her Majesty, the man she found was such a young fifth-grade Alchemist, and possibly even a sixth-grade like Pill King Gu He.
If this person became the King's Consort, the entire Snake-People Tribe would benefit. Indeed, Her Majesty was not a superficial person who only looked at faces.
"Your Majesty, please." Chu Xiao's palm faced upwards, pointing in the direction the Black-Winged Azure Melt Serpent had flown.
"You'd best not be trying to swindle Yue Mei's Medicinal Materials." Medusa spoke indifferently: "Otherwise…"
"You'll definitely kill me?" Chu Xiao retorted with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Medusa clenched her hands, feeling her fists itch, wanting to smash something.
Perhaps she should hit the Black-Winged Azure Melt Serpent again to vent her anger?
"Good that you know!"
With a cold snort, Medusa flapped her Dou Qi wings and flew towards the distance.
Chu Xiao controlled his strange flame wings and easily caught up, deliberately staying half a step behind, brazenly observing her from behind.
"My wife, Cai Lin, is truly beautiful, a peerless beauty on earth, a Fairy descended to the mortal realm, never tiring to behold, naturally enchanting, full-figured and graceful, like a ripe peach."
"
All the girls: "!"
We know your wife is beautiful, but you don't have to constantly proclaim it, do you?
In Dan Region Cao City, Cao Ying yawned, a mischievous smile on her face: "I'm really curious what kind of expression you'd make if you knew your notebook would be seen by others."
In Qingshan Town, having just returned to her residence and sitting on her self-made swing, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were full of anticipation: "I wonder what you'll be thinking when you see me again?"
In this life, she wouldn't let her be just a companion again, would she?
Inside the Utan City Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei sat with one leg crossed over the other, conversing with Yun Yun: "To write these things while Medusa is right there, Chu Xiao seems to have completely forgotten that his notebook could be seen by others."
"If it were me, if I thought the notebook brought me Rebirth a hundred years ago and was related to that Major Thousand Worlds firmament chart, I probably wouldn't be suspicious." Yun Yun propped her chin on one hand, staring at the notebook copy: "I'd only wonder if someone else was Reborn with memories like me."
What she was curious about now was how Chu Xiao would act when he saw her.
If he didn't treat everyone equally, she wouldn't hesitate to throw a tantrum!
"…" Medusa's lips subtly curved into an arc.
She wasn't very interested in how she and Chu Xiao got together in her previous life.
But in this life, she quite liked the feeling of knowing what that scoundrel was thinking and being able to control everything.
This notebook copy, although it tormented her 69 times, wasn't bad~
"I recall that in my previous life, the first time I saw her was when she was breaking through with the power of the Qinglian Earth Core Flame. She encountered a Lightning Tribulation and nearly died. It was I who bravely took her in, saving her and Little Cai."
"Little Cai." A light flashed in Medusa's purple eyes.
If she wasn't mistaken, it should be the newly born consciousness of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.
From the way he addressed her, was she being kept as a pet by this scoundrel?
He dared to treat her, Medusa, as a pet? Did he also want her to call him "Master"?
"That was also the only time I saw her in her snake form. Later, when Cai Lin broke through to Dou Zong, her snake tail evolved into legs, and she developed a bit more goodwill towards the Human Race."
"Now, she's revealing a section of her purple snake tail, which subtly sways, displaying a wild and enchanting appearance. It feels incredibly novel, making me inexplicably feel a burning sensation throughout my body. I need to look a few more times and record more."
All the girls: "…"
We thought you were going to recall and reveal some future events again.
Turns out you're indirectly praising how beautiful your wife is, recording it in various ways.
Truly…
"Already ten pictures."
In the Xiao Family of Utan City, Xun Er sat cross-legged on her bed, carefully counting the photos of Medusa in the notebook, her eyes sparkling: "If Big Brother Chu Xiao records fewer of Xun Er than of Cai Lin Jie Jie, I won't agree~"
Above the Lingyan Mountain Range.
Medusa felt the scorching gaze from behind, as if her body was being seen through.
She didn't know if Chu Xiao inexplicably felt a burning sensation all over, but she…
Truly felt that way!!!
