Chapter 125 Medusa Will Never Eat Chicken

"Phew."

Medusa caressed her lower abdomen with both hands, trying hard not to show a satisfied expression.

Honey-glazed fried chicken, delicious!

Saliva chicken, beggar's chicken, also delicious.

Braised chicken with chestnuts, three-cup chicken, charcoal-grilled chicken, all delicious!

But no matter how delicious it was, she would absolutely not bow her head to Chu Xiao, even if she wanted to continue eating chicken.

"The taste is alright, not bad," Medusa said, feigning indifference.

Chu Xiao and the other two: "…"

There was a whole pot of rice, enough for everyone to have two bowls, but Medusa alone ate five bowls.

"Alright" yet you ate so much!?

"Cai Lin Jie Jie," Xun Er took a sip of wine, a hint of playfulness in her eyes. "Six chickens, twelve legs. If four people share equally, it should be three per person. Count how many you ate."

Cai Lin's gaze fell, and she saw six neat chicken leg bones placed in front of her. A wave of heat immediately rose through her body, and a flush appeared on her fair skin.

It was her own fault for being too greedy, too strong, and too fast. She was curious about every flavor of chicken leg, so she tried a bit of each.

"This King is not good at using human chopsticks," Medusa made an excuse to save face. "I'm not skilled at picking up meat and vegetables, so I just grabbed the legs directly. That's why I did it this way. But I didn't eat much of the other meat. If you count it, you all ate more!"

In fact, she felt she probably ate the most of the other meat too, but unlike bones, there was no evidence for that, so she could say whatever she wanted.

"Um, Cai Lin Jie Jie," Qing Lin blinked her big eyes. "You also had me refill your rice four times afterward, but your eating speed was the same as ours. You're very skilled with jade chopsticks."

Medusa: "…"

On her beautiful face, the blush began to intensify.

At this moment, she truly wished she could jump off Tian Zhu Peak.

It was all this man's fault for being too skilled, forcing her to eat chicken.

Medusa shot a glance at Chu Xiao, who smiled gently and helped her out: "Actually, this is normal."

"Cai Lin is only half a step away from breaking through to Dou Zong, so her strength is much greater than ours."

"Although she's not as skilled with jade chopsticks as we are, her strength is there, so her speed is naturally fast."

Medusa felt a slight easing in her heart, crossed her arms, and nodded: "Exactly."

Given that he helped her out, she could let this matter go today.

[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter.]

The girls: ?

Medusa: !

A bad premonition rose in her heart.

[How can Cai Lin be so cute!]

Cai Lin: !?

Cute, does that word even apply to this King?

[One second ago: This King would rather jump off Tian Zhu Peak and never Break through to Dou Zong in this life than eat a single bite of your chicken.]

[Next second: Six chickens, twelve legs. She ate six by herself, and Xun Er, Qing Lin, and I each got two.]

Cai Lin clenched her hands: "…"

The girls' eyes became playful, teasing, and filled with curiosity.

Was Chu Xiao's cooking skill really that good, capable of making even the stubborn Medusa succumb?

[Xun Er teased her, and she actually…]

Chu Xiao instantly recorded what had just happened into his notebook, without any exaggeration.

At the end, he even uploaded pictures to the notebook.

[Others don't have evidence, but I have recorded evidence. Cai Lin ate the most chicken.]

[It's a pity these photos can't be shared, otherwise Cai Lin's expression would surely be very interesting when she sees them.]

The girls: We've already been shared.

Your Cai Lin's expression right now must be very interesting.

"Bang!"

Cai Lin slammed the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Chu Xiao.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xiao blinked, feigning confusion.

Xun Er also stood up, secretly winking at Cai Lin.

"This King cannot be satisfied and dismissed with just a little bit of gluttony," Medusa snorted coldly. "Chu Xiao, last time when you subdued the exotic flame, you paused the Bloodline enhancement for me. How will you compensate me this time?"

This reason for her anger was indeed legitimate, causing Xun Er and Qing Lin to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

[Startled, Cai Lin suddenly got angry. I thought she could hear my thoughts, but it turns out it's because of the Bloodline tempering.]

The girls: !

She can't hear your thoughts, but she can see the thoughts you write down.

"Brother Chu Xiao is quite perceptive."

Within Canaan Academy, Han Xue hugged her older sister Han Yue, her eyes becoming resolute: "Sister, I don't think we should rush to join Canaan Academy. Brother Chu Xiao would definitely feel something is off."

"But you've already given up on the Family's subsequent resources to come here. If you want to Break through to Dou Wang within five years and Dou Huang within ten years, you must join the Academy," Han Yue said with a serious expression.

"I didn't say I'd never join," Han Xue's lips curved slightly. "Just wait for a while. I have a plan."

Han Yue: ?

Meanwhile, inside the Small World.

Chu Xiao calmly picked up his wine glass and said, "Cai Lin, how long did I say it would take to help you complete your Bloodline transformation last time?"

Medusa slightly raised her chin, her purple eyes reflecting Chu Xiao's face as she replied, "At that time, you said that given my situation, my Bloodline could be purified once every seven days."

"Coupled with the Snake Marrow Blood Pill, it would take about a year to naturally evolve into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python based on my own foundation."

"But once your strength improves and I adapt to the Lei Gang Emperor Flame, the speed should accelerate even further, possibly taking less than half a year in the end."

"By then, I will be able to face the Lightning Tribulation test in my peak state, with a success rate of ninety percent."

She practically repeated exactly what Chu Xiao had said at the time.

Chu Xiao took a small sip of the grape wine, a smile appearing in the corners of his eyes: "At that time, I was only a three-star Great Dou Shi, but now I'm a seven-star Dou Ling. Isn't that an increase in strength?"

"Not only have I personally grown stronger, but the Lei Gang Emperor Flame has also become stronger. Now I can temper your Bloodline once every three days."

"In about three months, you will be able to complete your Bloodline evolution, become a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, and Break through to Dou Zong."

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin's breathing ungracefully hitched.

According to what Chu Xiao said in his notebook, she was originally supposed to successfully evolve with the help of the Qinglian Earth Core Flame two years later.

Even then, she believed she had made full preparations, but the result was still severe injuries, even allowing the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python to generate a new Soul consciousness and seize control of her body.

Afterward, she continued to suffer from lingering effects, having no choice but to act as Chu Xiao's bodyguard in exchange for Medicinal Pills.

But now, she could perfectly evolve in three months and face the Lightning Tribulation with full strength.

The time was two years earlier, and her state was incomparable.

Not to mention, she was now Cultivating stronger Cultivation Techniques, Fighting Skills, and secret arts.

All of this was due to the changes brought about by Chu Xiao's Rebirth.

"Are you sure it's three months from now?" Medusa confirmed, trying to suppress her excitement.

"Only faster, not slower," Chu Xiao said with certainty.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Medusa's eyes grew fervent. "Let's start now and get things done quickly."

Chu Xiao drained the tea in his cup, stood up, and waved his hand: "Please."

The Lei Gang Emperor Flame flew to the distant Qinglian platform, once again transforming into black-purple, dazzling petals.

Medusa circulated her Dou Qi, arriving before the Qinglian in an instant, about to enter it.

But the next moment, she turned back to Chu Xiao: "This King's clothes, they won't be burned again, will they?"

"Of course not. As long as the Lei Gang Emperor Flame doesn't deliberately burn, nothing will happen," Chu Xiao calmly replied.

Medusa said no more, swaying her figure as she entered the center of the Qinglian platform, sitting down with her body coiled.

The black-purple petals rose, enveloping Medusa's body, emitting strange fluctuations.

"Done. It'll be over in two quarters of an hour, then we wait three days."

Chu Xiao put down his hand, ready to have a few more drinks with Xun Er and Qing Lin.

Although this grape wine was wine, it could also be considered a beverage, and it tasted good.

But just as he sat down, he heard Xun Er's curious voice: "Brother Chu Xiao, what did Cai Lin Jie Jie mean by 'burned again'?"

Chu Xiao: "…"
