Chương 53: You'll Thank Me Someday!
Medusa's face was slightly flushed with embarrassment, but the overwhelming emotion was her icy killing intent. The blush on her cheeks was due to the fact that this was her first time being so physically close to a man. But this young man dared to offend her to this extent!
"Damn it…"
With a cold snort, Medusa's slender, jade-like hand quickly reached for Gu Fei's neck, her soft fingers about to touch his skin, ready to break his neck in the next moment. However, to Gu Fei, her speed was very slow. Just before she succeeded, Gu Fei swiftly grabbed her snow-white wrist, encircling it with his hand, his warm touch causing her body to tremble slightly.
Medusa, feeling humiliated and angry, spoke in defiance, "You think I owe you something? I would've recovered just fine without your help!"
"Without the Core-Fire Lotus Seed I fed you, how could you have recovered so quickly?" Gu Fei responded calmly, though Medusa's face grew colder, her eyes filled with hostility.
"Even without your help, I could've obtained such resources in my tribe! The Snake-People Tribe's heritage is something even the Empire of Jia Ma cannot compare with. Those like Gu He are no threat to us!"
Despite her words, Gu Fei just smiled. "At that time, you were extremely weak. If Gu He and his group had found you, you would have been in grave danger."
Although Medusa didn't acknowledge Gu Fei's point, she was surprised at his strength and composure. Yet, she stubbornly refused to admit any debt of gratitude to him.
"You might not see it now, but someday, you'll thank me," Gu Fei said with a soft chuckle, moving past the topic as the two fell into a brief silence.
Gu Fei's gaze couldn't help but wander to the snowy white landscape below Medusa's neck, drawn to the perfect curves of her body. It was his first time seeing a woman's naked form, and Medusa's stunningly beautiful and fiery figure made his breathing quicken.
"Human, when I recover, I will tear you to pieces! How dare you stare at me like that?" Medusa hissed, feeling Gu Fei's intense gaze on her bare body, her eyes blazing with anger. However, she knew she wasn't a match for him at this moment.
"Are you planning to keep me as a pet?" Medusa asked, her voice soft but laced with venom, like a whisper that could entice and destroy at the same time.
Gu Fei shook his head with a smile. "That little one chose to follow me. Don't be so angry. If you stay with me, you'll recover quickly and reach heights you've never attained before."
Realizing their close proximity was flustering him, Gu Fei released her wrist, his face flushing with embarrassment. As soon as he let go, Medusa swiftly grabbed a blanket from the stone platform and covered herself. Even with the blanket, her enticing curves were impossible to hide.
"Human, you'll regret not killing me now. I will never let this insult go unpunished!" Medusa glared at Gu Fei one last time before her body shrank back into the form of a small, colorful snake. Gu Fei sighed and picked up the little snake, gently stroking her cold body.
Meanwhile, in the luxurious palace deep within the Jia Ma Sacred City, a robed elder sat in the main hall, a tall, elegantly dressed woman standing beside him. The woman had a cold, regal air, with a touch of royal authority about her.
"What?" The elder exchanged a shocked glance with the young woman beside him. "A sixth-tier magical beast appeared on the eastern border?"
The woman, Yao Ye, echoed his surprise, "And a teenager is riding it?"
A sixth-tier magical beast was a rare sight in the entire Jia Ma Empire, let alone one that would allow itself to be ridden by a human. The elder, Jia Xing Tian, looked troubled. "I've just received word that the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect and Pill King Gu He have also headed to the eastern border."
Both he and Yao Ye felt that the situation was becoming increasingly mysterious.
