Kapitel 296: Chapter 295: Medusa Reappears

As Xiao Ming spoke, he flicked his finger on the storage ring, and instantly, something wrapped in dense green light appeared in his palm. Looking closely, it turned out to be a small lotus seed.

The Core-Fire Lotus Seed contained an extremely large amount of fire essence and was known as the essence of flame spirits. Xiao Ming obtained it from the lotus platform of the Green Lotus Core Flame. It took a hundred years for one to form, and he had a total of eleven.

Although swallowing it directly could improve one's strength, Xiao Ming had never used any of them because it would be a waste. He kept the Core-Fire Lotus Seeds as a collection and for alchemy purposes.

As soon as the lotus seed appeared, it attracted the attention of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. It moved to Xiao Ming's shoulder and wagged its tail slightly, then leaned its upper body forward and rubbed its cheek against Xiao Ming's face, giving him a feeling of a puppy trying to please its owner.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming flicked his finger and accurately shot the lotus seed into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's slightly opened mouth.

As the lotus seed entered, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python spun around happily, then a strong light burst out from its body.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, but at that moment, Xiao Ming's face changed slightly. The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python on his shoulder suddenly grew in size, and its body seemed to become more supple and flexible.

Before he could react, something slipped down his right shoulder and nestled into his embrace, feeling soft and tender like a woman's body. Xiao Ming's face became a little strange. He slowly lowered his head, only to see the enchanting face of Queen Medusa looking up at him with a hint of shyness in her bright, alluring eyes.

Medusa's beauty was breathtaking, her enchanting face exuding an irresistible charm.

At this moment, Xiao Ming and Queen Medusa found themselves in a rather intimate position, with him holding her in a princess carry. She was now fully naked, her smooth and alluring skin brushing against his, and the atmosphere was charged with an electric tension, like the prelude to a romantic encounter.

Although the sensation of the soft and tender body beneath him was overwhelming, and he felt a primal urge to take her on the spot, Xiao Ming remained sober and did not make any excessive moves. With a calm voice, he said.

"Are you awake? Please get off me."

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa did not say much. She stood up straight and left Xiao Ming's embrace. In the process, her plump and fair body gave Xiao Ming a feast for the eyes.

Medusa stood before Xiao Ming, her fiery figure fully exposed to him. Although a faint blush appeared on her charming face as she sensed his gaze, she was unable to cover herself as she had not fully recovered her strength, and there were no objects around to do so. Therefore, she could only helplessly turn her back.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming did not embarrass her. He threw a white robe at her and said.

"Put it on. It's not a good idea to keep going around naked."

After putting on Xiao Ming's clothes, Medusa's mood calmed down considerably. Smelling the faint scent of medicine mixed with someone's scent on the clothes, she finally spoke in a lazy and seductive voice that could make a man's bones numb with temptation.

"You're the first man to see my naked body..."

"Well, I'm sorry about that."

Xiao Ming blinked and shrugged. Fortunately, he had made a habit of throwing Venerable Tian Huo's ring into another room before, or else Queen Medusa would have suffered a great loss.

Medusa didn't say much either. This was something she had tacitly agreed to, and saying more would only make it awkward.

"You've been keeping the body I evolved from as a pet... where have you brought me now?" Medusa asked.

Her soul wasn't always in an unconscious state. Sometimes, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python would also fall asleep.

"I didn't keep it as a pet. It followed us on its own." Xiao Ming felt that he shouldn't be blamed for this, making him look like a captor.

"Then do I need to call you… Master~?"

The slender eyes of Queen Medusa curved into a beautiful arc, and the last word was drawn out slightly longer in a sultry tone, making people's imaginations run wild.

Xiao Ming chuckled. "You can call me that if you like."

His words left Medusa speechless for a moment, causing the atmosphere to become silent.

"This is the Pill Tower in the Central Plains. I don't know exactly how far it is from the Tager Desert. But even with a space wormhole, it would take four or five months to get there," Xiao Ming finally broke the silence.

"Central Plains? So far away?" Hearing this, Medusa frowned slightly, feeling helpless. There was no way she could return to the Snake-People Tribe in that case. Her current state also didn't allow her to travel long distances.

"Can you solve the problem of my dual soul state?" she then asked.

"There are many solutions, but you don't have anything to offer me, so it's hard for me to do anything for you for free," Xiao Ming replied slowly.

Although Medusa's alluring appearance and curvaceous figure were tempting, he still preferred the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

After all, there had been some conflict between them before. Although they had turned over a new leaf, it still had some impact.

"But for Zi Yan's sake, I'll tell you a solution. You can incubate a new body for the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python within your own body. Since you two share the same bloodline, as long as you communicate well with the little girl, I believe it won't refuse."

"This way, you can take control of your own body smoothly."

If Medusa and the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python were left to fight, it would only be a matter of time before they merged.

Xiao Ming had grown fond of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's soul and had been nurturing it all this time. That's why he came up with this method, which would allow the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's consciousness to be preserved.

"Incubate a body? Are you suggesting that I have a child? What kind of ridiculous idea is that!" Queen Medusa's ample bosom heaved as she glared angrily at Xiao Ming.

"Why are you getting so worked up? It's not like you'll be the one giving birth. Besides, it's just an option. If you don't want to do it, forget it. We can talk about it again in ten or eight years..." Xiao Ming replied calmly.

Medusa could seek help from other alchemists to solve her soul problem, but not every alchemist was capable of doing so.

Moreover, these alchemists tended to be arrogant and charged exorbitant fees. Considering the cost of their services and ingredients, it was something that Medusa and the Snake-People Tribe could not afford. Without sufficient compensation, those alchemists wouldn't even glance at the Snake-People Tribe.

"That's impossible! I'm not ready to be a mother," exclaimed Medusa, shaking her head vehemently.

"If you're not willing to consider it, then it's up to you," said Xiao Ming, seeming somewhat regretful.

With a light snort, Medusa ignored Xiao Ming, and her body slowly crawled down.

Suddenly, the garment wrapped around her body compressed into a seductive curve, and immediately, a strong light burst out. Her body slowly shrank until she transformed into a small seven-colored snake.
