143: Chapter 143 Medusa's Free Gift

Cold and aloof, enchanting, enough to topple kingdoms.

When Xiao Yan caught sight of that cold yet alluring face, his heart skipped a beat; she was truly a goddess among mortals!

"Medusa!" Zi Yan called out immediately upon seeing her.

"Zi Yan?" Medusa landed in front of the two, looking with some surprise at Zi Yan, whose appearance and temperament had both changed.

"You've grown up. It's only been two years, yet you've changed so much; I almost didn't recognize you..." Medusa walked over to Zi Yan, took her hand, and carefully examined the changes in her.

"You too. Your charm is truly growing; I'm afraid no man could resist you..." As Zi Yan said this, she glanced at Xiao Yan, who had turned his gaze elsewhere, as if something had occurred to her.

"Lord Xiao Yan." After greeting Zi Yan, Medusa looked toward Xiao Yan.

"You've made significant progress during this period of seclusion," Xiao Yan said with a light smile, turning back to face her.

"Thanks to Lord Xiao Yan's blessing, the energy here is very suitable for me. Furthermore, at the bottom of these Nine Serene Yellow Springs lies the nest of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python tribe. I have obtained some of the Legacy of our ancestors; among them, while their physical bodies have perished, their Souls still linger..."

Xiao Yan listened quietly as Medusa continued to speak.

"I never expected that the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python tribe would be hidden at the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs. What a surprise... Right, I came this time because I found quite a few treasures for you; they should be of great use." As he spoke, Xiao Yan took three seven-colored stones from his storage ring.

These stones were about half the size of a fist, with seven extremely clear markings on their surfaces, from which a faint, special energy radiated.

"This is? Seven-Colored Origin Stones? No, one of them is an Eight-Colored Origin Stone!" Medusa said, surprised as she looked at the three colorful stones in Xiao Yan's hand.

Medusa took the stones and dripped a drop of her blood onto the Origin Stone. She saw that on the smooth surface, a new colored marking appeared alongside the original seven.

"Ordinary people only know that there is a chance for Seven-Colored Origin Stones to be born where the physical bodies of Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Pythons have perished. They do not know that if more than a hundred of them have perished in one place, there is a certain chance for Eight-Colored or even Nine-Colored Origin Stones to be born..."

Medusa recounted to Xiao Yan the memories flowing within the Bloodline Legacy of the Sky Swallowing Python.

Xiao Yan carefully examined these Eight-Colored Origin Stones. He had entrusted Xuan Yi to procure them while he was in seclusion, but he wasn't sure if he had obtained the Nine-Colored Origin Stone from the original story.

Under Xiao Yan's gaze, a very faint, thin marking appeared on the Eight-Colored Origin Stone that had originally shown eight markings.

"A Nine-Colored Origin Stone. It seems I've hit the jackpot this time." Seeing the newly appeared ninth marking, Xiao Yan finally nodded with a smile and said.

Seeing this, Medusa also revealed a look of surprise. She hadn't expected that such a rare Nine-Colored Origin Stone would be obtained by Xiao Yan and given to her just like that.

"Lord Xiao Yan..."

"No need for formalities. Strive to improve your strength and serve me well in the future; that is the greatest reward for me." Seeing Medusa about to say something, Xiao Yan spoke up immediately.

When he first officially met Medusa, he already possessed unparalleled strength and prestige. Therefore, to Medusa, his kindness toward her inevitably exceeded the boundaries between subordinate and superior...

It was fine with Zi Yan, as she was carefree; she had initially treated Xiao Yan as a tool, and later became friends, never thinking too much about it.

"With these things, I believe you will be able to improve your strength more rapidly..."

Looking at Medusa, whose beautiful eyes were shimmering, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, but he was suddenly interrupted mid-sentence.

Ignoring Zi Yan's exclamation nearby, Medusa stepped directly in front of Xiao Yan.

Feeling the intense masculine scent before her, Medusa did not hesitate and pressed her red lips against his.

Xiao Yan was shocked by this sudden assault. Although he reacted, his hands were suddenly at a loss for where to place them. He had specifically brought Zi Yan along precisely to avoid such things from happening!

A moment later, Medusa released Xiao Yan with flushed cheeks and stepped back, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on him. She knew Xiao Yan had a girlfriend, but so what?

Looking at Medusa, whose eyes seemed to be brimming with affection, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, his heart skipping a beat.

"Ahem, Medusa, you should know that I already have a girlfriend."

"Then why didn't you dodge?"

"..." Xiao Yan was instantly rendered speechless. Could he just say it directly?

"Lord Xiao Yan, I do not mind..." Medusa said in a lingering tone, looking at the speechless Xiao Yan. "Besides, your little girlfriend once said that on this continent, it is not a rare thing for the strong to have multiple wives."

Xiao Yan thought back carefully and realized that Xun'er had indeed said that, and she had even said it right in front of Medusa...

"That may be so, but... I still have to ask for Xun'er's wishes." Xiao Yan turned his gaze away and said.

Upon hearing this, Medusa smiled brightly. It seemed she had bet correctly.

If one doesn't fight for love oneself, does one expect it to be handed out by others?

Medusa had always been bold; her previous evolution using Heavenly Flame was enough to illustrate her character.

Moreover, now that she had no worries regarding the Snake-people Tribe, Medusa had even less to be concerned about.

In her perception, no one was more outstanding than Xiao Yan, nor could anyone stir her heart more. Since meeting Xiao Yan, she knew she would never be moved by anyone else again...

Medusa lifted her jade-like feet and walked toward Xiao Yan, gently taking his arm and revealing a breathtaking smile.

Zi Yan, on the side, watched this scene in astonishment, then clicked her tongue and said: "Tsk tsk, Xiao Yan, you are quite the lucky man..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan glared at Zi Yan, causing her to become tongue-tied.

Why not let a person speak...

In the original story, Medusa was his original wife. If he pushed her away when she came onto him like this, could he even be considered a man?

Besides, in this world, it was perfectly reasonable and legal for the strong to have multiple wives.

He had always been cautious regarding matters of the heart; whether it was Ya Fei, Yun Yun, or Xiao Yi Xian, he had avoided ambiguous emotional entanglements.

It was just difficult to let go when it came to Medusa. However, there was no problem with marrying her; hadn't the original story shown those two women getting along quite harmoniously?

As for how to explain it to Xun'er, Xiao Yan sighed slightly. Should he just act first and apologize later?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes rolled, and he came up with a mischievous idea to lighten the mood.

"Zi Yan, you're tired; go back and Cultivate." Xiao Yan turned his head with an expressionless face and said to Zi Yan.

Her presence here was inconvenient.

"You!"

Zi Yan understood instantly and immediately looked indignant.

"Haha, I'm just joking. Did you take it seriously?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Before, if she teased him, he would just beat her, but now that she had grown up, it wasn't easy to lay a hand on her, so he could only use her own tactics against her.

However, after saying this, Xiao Yan's expression instantly stiffened. In his perception, Xun'er seemed to be heading in this direction...

He had once left a Fire Seal on Xun'er; he could sense Xun'er's aura, and likewise, Xun'er could also sense his aura!
