Chapter 268: A Contest of Wills

At this moment, Xiao Yan and the legendary fearsome Queen Medusa beneath him were in a rather intimate position. Not only was his body completely pressing down on hers, but his fingers had even found their way into her rosy lips. Xiao Yan’s eyes stared blankly at the face so close to his. This face, which could be described as bewitching, was like a masterpiece of the heavens. Even with her eyes full of malevolence, there was still an irresistible allure. This woman was almost every man’s ideal. Although the soft and delicate body beneath him provided Xiao Yan with unparalleled pleasure, his face did not dare to show any expression. His eyes filled with shock, he stared dumbfoundedly at Queen Medusa. After a moment, his mouth twitched, and he forced out an ugly smile, “He… Hello.”

As he spoke, Xiao Yan’s finger, which was in Queen Medusa’s mouth, involuntarily extended slightly, and instantly, it touched her tender and slippery little tongue. Xiao Yan’s body suddenly trembled, and a tingling sensation spread from his heart, almost making him want to suck on that fragrant little tongue. Of course, although he had this urge, Xiao Yan was sure that if he did, he would be blasted to ashes by this Queen Medusa, who even Hai Bodong would flee from.

Her malevolent, bright eyes, now with a hint of coldness, stared at Xiao Yan. When his finger touched her tongue earlier, a faint blush rose to Queen Medusa’s beautiful face, but more prominent was the sinister aura. Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, glancing at Xiao Yan’s arm, which was glowing with a deep green light, then at the finger inside her mouth, which looked like green jade. Her long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, she bit down hard with her silver teeth.

“Hisss…”

Xiao Yan’s eyes widened in pain as his finger was bitten. He took a sharp breath and was about to struggle free when a slender, white-jade-like arm suddenly shot out, firmly pinching his neck. The threatening look in her eyes was unmistakable.

With Queen Medusa’s grip on him, Xiao Yan had no choice but to lower his body slightly. Instantly, his chest was pressed against two soft mounds, and a wicked fire flared up in his lower abdomen, making his breathing slightly more rapid.

Forcing himself to suppress the wicked fire within, Xiao Yan didn’t dare to make any rash moves on this deadly beauty. He remained pressed against Queen Medusa’s soft body, their faces close, their breaths clearly audible to each other.

As Queen Medusa bit down on Xiao Yan’s finger, a drop of blood slowly stained her rosy lips, making them even more vivid. The bloody, rosy color made the bewitching Queen Medusa even more alluring, like a blood-stained rose.

As the blood slowly seeped out, Xiao Yan’s face changed slightly. He could sense that the immense energy of the Earth Fire Lotus seed, which hovered near his right arm, was being rapidly devoured by Queen Medusa.

“Don’t worry… It’s the same whether I give it to Tian Di snake or to her. As long as the excess energy from the Earth Fire Lotus seed is removed, it doesn’t matter.”

Reassuring himself, Xiao Yan tried to calm down. His gaze wandered over her flawless, bewitching face, and despite their enmity, he couldn’t help but secretly marvel at her beauty.

As Queen Medusa greedily devoured the energy, the green light on Xiao Yan’s right arm gradually faded. After a while, the green light finally disappeared, and his finger, once like green jade, returned to normal.

Relieved that the remaining energy was safely expelled, Xiao Yan let out a sigh, but his face suddenly changed. He realized that even after absorbing all the energy, Queen Medusa had no intention of letting go. Her long, narrow eyes, filled with a mocking sneer, glanced at him. A gentle suction made the energy in Xiao Yan’s Qi nucleus ripple, with a hint of it being drawn out through his meridians.

“Let go!”

Noticing the change in his Qi nucleus, Xiao Yan’s face turned pale, and he shouted urgently. Ignoring him, Queen Medusa’s eyes held a mocking sneer. Her slender, jade-like hand, gripping his neck, tightened slightly, causing Xiao Yan’s face to turn red.

“Damn it!”

Realizing the Qi was about to flow out through his finger, Xiao Yan’s eyes turned red. He had worked so hard to regain his strength over the past twenty days. If this woman forcefully absorbed it, how could he go to Yunlan Sect with a broken brick?

With red eyes, Xiao Yan slowly raised his left hand, and a green flame surged forth, instantly raising the temperature in the room.

Seeing the green flame on Xiao Yan’s left hand, Queen Medusa’s face changed imperceptibly. She recognized it as the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, which had caused her much suffering.

“Let go! I know you can easily kill me, but you haven’t done so yet. That’s not very consistent with your reputation. I think your strength hasn’t fully recovered, has it?”

Xiao Yan’s face darkened as he lowered the hand covered in green flames, and said softly, “You should recognize it, right? Let go immediately, or I’ll fight to the death to seriously injure you today!”

Hearing Xiao Yan’s threat, the chill in Queen Medusa’s eyes grew stronger. No one had dared to threaten her before. Her beautiful eyes, filled with killing intent, fixed on Xiao Yan.

Under Queen Medusa’s intense stare, Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that, at this moment, even if he knew the consequences would be dire, he had to stand firm. If he showed any weakness, this notoriously dangerous beauty would swallow him whole, bones and all.

In the silent room, their gazes locked, neither willing to back down first. As the standoff continued, a drop of cold sweat slowly trickled down Xiao Yan’s forehead. Staring down this fearsome beauty, whose reputation shook the Jia Ma Empire, was no easy task.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to give in, Queen Medusa, unable to endure the approaching green flame, shot Xiao Yan a fierce glare and finally, though reluctantly, released her bite.

Seeing Queen Medusa let go, Xiao Yan quickly withdrew his finger, and with a light tap of his foot, he shot backward. In mid-air, he clasped his hands together, then pulled them apart, transforming the green flame into a long whip. The whip encircled him, defending against any impending attacks.

After completing his defense, Xiao Yan raised his head to look at the bed. His eyes widened as he saw the fiery-bodied Queen Medusa sitting naked on the bed.

Noticing Xiao Yan’s gaze, Queen Medusa’s face turned cold. She quickly pulled a blanket over her, though her seductive curves remained visible. By the bed, a light purple snake tail gently dangled, swaying with a wild allure.

Xiao Yan, facing the coldly staring Queen Medusa, wiped his finger clean. His Qi rushed through his body as he cautiously watched her, ready for any sudden attack.

“You are the first to dare to threaten me,” Queen Medusa said after a long, cool silence, her voice silky and lazy, laced with a seductive tone that made men’s bones melt.

“And you are the first woman to bite me,” Xiao Yan retorted, his voice dry.

Queen Medusa extended her delicate, crimson tongue, lightly licking her rosy lips. The gesture, though unintentional, had a mesmerizing allure. “The energy just now must have been from the Earth Fire Lotus seed. If it weren’t for my severe injuries when obtaining the Earth Fire Lotus, I would never have left such a treasure behind.”

Xiao Yan gave a dry laugh, not responding. The green flame in his palm continued to burn.

Staring deeply at the green flame in Xiao Yan’s hand, Queen Medusa shook her head. “I didn’t expect that, in the end, the greatest benefit would be yours. Gu He must be furious.”

“Hehe, didn’t Your Majesty also successfully evolve? You got quite a lot of benefits too,” Xiao Yan chuckled.

“For this evolution, I suffered a great deal, as you saw,” Queen Medusa replied coolly. “If it hadn’t been a critical moment, I would have killed you myself.”

“Hehe,” Xiao Yan smiled sheepishly. So, she had discovered him hiding back then.

“But… human, I must say, you have a lot of courage,” Queen Medusa said, her slender finger pointing at Xiao Yan. Her face was filled with a soft, sinister aura, and her silky voice carried a chilling intent. “You not only dared to venture alone into the depths of the desert, but you also dared to treat my evolved form as a pet. This level of boldness, I’ve truly never seen before.”

Sensing the killing intent in Queen Medusa’s words, Xiao Yan shrugged, innocently saying, “I didn’t raise you as a pet. She just likes to follow me.”

“Do I need to call you… master?” Queen Medusa’s long, narrow eyes curved into a dangerous arc, and her last word was drawn out, her silky voice making Xiao Yan’s face flush red. He slightly bent forward, and the bulge in his pants seemed to grow.

This voice was too terrifying…

“You’re right. Right now, I don’t have the power to kill you. But… after my next awakening, believe me, I will… take… your… life!”

Queen Medusa pointed at Xiao Yan with her slender, jade-like finger, lifting her proud head, each word filled with chilling intent.

“Little human, wait. In this world, no one is qualified to be my master. At least, not yet,” she said with a soft, sinister smile. Her body slowly slithered down, the blanket compressing into an enticing curve. A strong light burst forth, and her body shrank, transforming into the small, colorful snake…

Watching the small snake transform into Tian Di Snake, Xiao Yan suddenly went limp, collapsing onto the floor. Only then did he realize he was drenched in sweat.
