The Mystic Egg was still there.
However, as the covers were lifted, an indescribable body was revealed before Chen Mo.
In an instant, a surge of heat rose from the depths of Chen Mo's heart.
Should he make a move?
No, he didn't dare to move an inch. Instead, cold sweat started to bead on his forehead.
"H-hello there, Queen Medusa."
As he spoke, Chen Mo carefully began to inch his body away from the bed, trying to ignore the ripples of sensation caused by Queen Medusa's presence. He hastily stowed the Mystic Egg into the system.
Just as Chen Mo's body was about to leave the bed completely, Queen Medusa made her move.
Her jade-like hand shot out, grabbing Chen Mo's robe and pulling him back.
Her entire being loomed over him in an indescribable position, her cold and murderous gaze examining every part of Chen Mo's body.
A fleeting blush crossed her delicate face.
Feeling that icy stare, Chen Mo instinctively clenched his legs.
"Damn it, this is not the time to get flustered."
As this thought crossed his mind, Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly, forcing an awkward smile to break the tension.
Queen Medusa remained silent, but the murderous aura in her eyes grew even more intense. Her gaze moved slowly, and suddenly, a look of confusion appeared on her face. That strange aura—why did it disappear?
Just as Chen Mo thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, a slender, jade-like hand suddenly slipped into the sleeve of his right arm, tracing up along his arm.
Chen Mo's body trembled violently as a tingling sensation spread from his heart.
Suddenly, with a ripping sound, the sleeve of Chen Mo's right arm was torn apart, revealing his tanned arm.
Queen Medusa's gaze fixed on the blue and red veins on Chen Mo's arm. In an instant, she leaned down and sank her teeth into his veins.
"Hiss."
Chen Mo gasped in pain, instinctively trying to pull his arm away, but at that moment, Queen Medusa's body coiled around him like a snake. Her arms tightened around his, sucking his blood with increasing ferocity.
As the blood seeped out, Chen Mo could feel the pure energy within his body slowly being drained away.
At this point, Chen Mo's body contained no excess energy, only the refined energy that truly belonged to him.
Whoosh!
Chen Mo resisted, and his Thunderfire erupted, enveloping his entire body.
However, it seemed Queen Medusa had anticipated this. The flame mark on her brow flickered, and a blue flame spread from her forehead, covering her entire body.
Perhaps she didn't want to harm the body she was feeding from, as the temperature of the strange fire was kept low.
Even so, it still made Chen Mo extremely uncomfortable.
Not only did he have to resist the energy being drained from his body, but he also had to divert part of his strength to withstand the burning of the strange fire.
The Dou Qi robe made of Nether Qi condensed around him, causing Queen Medusa to frown slightly, sensing a hint of danger.
But it was just a hint.
She continued to drain him without any regard, as if determined to completely suck this guy, who had taken advantage of her several times, dry.
"Damn it, let go!" Chen Mo's expression changed drastically as he realized that as more energy was drained from his body, his cultivation level was beginning to show signs of dropping.
This was something he couldn't tolerate.
Do you know how much it cost me to reach my current cultivation level?
With a surge of Divine Elephant Suppression Force, Chen Mo launched a full-scale counterattack.
However, as soon as Queen Medusa sensed Chen Mo's resistance, she glanced at him with a cold, mocking smile. Her small mouth sucked harder, and the Dou Qi that Chen Mo had painstakingly gathered instantly dissipated.
Chen Mo's face paled.
If this continued, he would become the first transmigrator in history to be sucked to death.
Chen Mo quickly tried to come up with a solution.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
You can drain me, but I can drain you too.
"Mmph, you forced me to do this." Cursing under his breath, Chen Mo bit down on Queen Medusa's shoulder.
"Hiss." Queen Medusa winced in pain, casting a glance at Chen Mo, who was now biting her shoulder. She froze for a moment, then her cold smile returned.
"With those weak teeth, how much can you possibly drain from me?" Queen Medusa thought, with a hint of disdain.
But soon, she regretted it.
She discovered that the rate at which the boy was draining her was not only faster than hers, but he was also drawing more energy at once.
"Damn it," Queen Medusa cursed. "Let go now!"
"In your dreams," Chen Mo bit down harder.
"Courting death," Queen Medusa's eyes turned icy as she prepared to retaliate with full force, but as the energy in her body continued to drain, she found herself unable to suppress the soul of the little creature within her.
That little creature was starting to fight back.
Although she had fully evolved and shed her serpent tail, she realized that another soul had emerged within her. She could only control this body at will if she completely suppressed this soul.
The way to suppress this soul was through a powerful source of energy.
Chen Mo's energy was just what she needed—not only was it potent, but it also had a restraining effect on souls.
"Human brat, just you wait. When I wake up next time, I will…"
Before she could finish her threat, a bright seven-colored light burst out, and Queen Medusa's body began to shrink rapidly, eventually turning back into the seven-colored little snake…
Chen Mo collapsed, gasping for breath. That was a close call.
Thinking of Queen Medusa's parting threat, Chen Mo sneered.
You won't have that chance.
In the system's store, there was an item called the Spirit Beast Contract, available for 2000 Fortune Points.
He hadn't thought about redeeming it before because he didn't expect Medusa to come out halfway. But now, he needed to save up those 2000 points to exchange for the Spirit Beast Contract.
Once the contract was signed, he could command her to go east, and she would go east; tell her to go west, and she would go west.
…
Another day passed.
The next morning.
Bright and early, Chen Mo packed his things and, together with Yun Yun, headed toward where Hai Bodong was staying.
"You little rascal, are you saying that the once top ten expert Hai Bodong is staying in that little shop up ahead?" Yun Yun's way of addressing Chen Mo had changed when no one else was around, a result of their time spent together.
"Yep, he's currently under Queen Medusa's Snake Seal. His strength is only at the Spirit level. I plan to recruit him into the Lingyan Pavilion," Chen Mo didn't hide his intentions.
As the two of them approached the shop.
Hai Bodong felt it—that once terrifying aura that made his soul tremble.
"But isn't she supposed to be deep within the desert? Could she have come out?" Hai Bodong wondered in shock.
"What's wrong, Master Ice?" Su Hongyu asked, surprised by Hai Bodong's fearful gaze directed outside the shop.
At that moment.
Chen Mo and Yun Yun, dressed in a black robe, walked in.
"Long time no see!"
