Xiao Yan recovered some of his Dou Qi and adjusted his state.
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python swam out from his sleeve, its seven-colored radiance flowing, and the small seven-colored snake transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman with a delicate face and a captivating figure.
Xiao Yan paused, his mouth twitching slightly: "Your Majesty Medusa, why have you come out?"
Queen Medusa had been very inconspicuous during this period, always maintaining the form of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, eating and sleeping, and sleeping for many days, so Xiao Yan had almost forgotten about her.
"How is the collection of medicinal ingredients for my 'Soul Fusion Pill' progressing?" Medusa asked with a cold tone as soon as she emerged.
"Uh... it hasn't been long, has it? Bad luck, haven't encountered any yet," Xiao Yan said awkwardly.
"It seems you haven't taken this king's matter to heart. Since that's the case, then there's no need for me to keep you," she said, killing intent appearing in her eyes.
Xiao Yan was startled and was about to retreat rapidly, but he found himself trapped as if in a quagmire, unable to move, with the surrounding air binding him.
Space Solidification!
The Space Solidification of a Dou Ancestor expert!
During this period, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python had become extremely inactive because Queen Medusa was suppressing its soul to gain control of the body!
And in this process, she also gradually managed to exert her evolved strength, stabilizing it at the Dou Ancestor level.
A familiar soul fluctuation emerged from the bone flame ring, and Yao Chen, with his aged appearance, ethereal figure, and a monocle stuck in his right eye socket, slowly materialized.
"Heh heh, truly worthy of being Queen Medusa. Upon just entering Dou Ancestor, she can already solidify space. But my disciple, how can he be killed just because you say so?"
Looking at the ethereal soul of Yao Chen before her, Medusa's gaze became serious: "Heh, I was wondering why this fellow always had a strong expert by his side. So it's a soul body."
Yao Chen smiled calmly: "You don't need to put on such a murderous act. I'm very clear about your current situation..."
"Even if I only have my soul left, dealing with someone who has just reached Dou Ancestor is not difficult."
"What's more, you haven't fully controlled your body yet. Once you lay a hand on my disciple, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's soul will probably immediately riot and backlash..."
"I also don't want to have any conflict with you. You can leave directly."
The chill on Medusa's face deepened: "You mean these past few months of mine were all wasted?"
Xiao Yan scoffed: "Don't you know your own situation these past few months? Even without that agreement, even if you wanted to leave, the Sky Swallowing Python would probably run back on its own..."
"And when the agreement was made back then, what were you thinking? Did you really think I didn't know? Probably the sooner it was refined, the faster I'd die..."
"Do you have a say in this?" Medusa glared at him. A gray-white energy gradually began to corrode Xiao Yan's body from below, petrifying him inch by inch.
"Meng ya!" The two-headed Qing Meng appeared, and the energy of the Heavenly Flame broke through the gray-white energy layer, restoring Xiao Yan's partially petrified body to its original state.
Qing Meng, with its short, chubby hands, clutched a cyan and white Fire Lotus, fearlessly meeting Medusa's eyes, which were beginning to transform into snake pupils due to anger.
"If it weren't for your murderous intent, my disciple wouldn't have deliberately dragged this out. Things developing this way can't be entirely blamed on him," Yao Chen said with a chuckle.
He ignored Medusa's anger and said softly: "If you truly want the 'Soul Fusion Pill,' you can make a new agreement with me. Within one year, I can guarantee to deliver the pill to you, but you need to guarantee Xiao Yan's safety for one year, and all previous matters will be dismissed, with no thoughts of future retaliation."
Medusa's face grew even darker, and the aura of a Dou Ancestor pressed towards Xiao Yan. Yao Chen's soul power spread out, blocking her formidable presence, and the Fire Lotus in Qing Meng's hand became even more active, as if it could explode at any moment.
Medusa suddenly twitched her forehead, and her aura receded like a tide. The will of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was fighting her for control of the body.
"Damn it..." She was somewhat unable to control her body, and seven-colored light flowed around her.
...
"What happened?" Xun Er, sensing something amiss, came up from the third floor and asked Xiao Meng, who was guarding the entrance of the cultivation room.
Although both Yao Chen and Queen Medusa were wary of the experts of Jia Nan Academy and had tacitly tried their best to control their aura within a certain range, not unleashing it recklessly, Xun Er was very close, and she also had a Heavenly Flame within her, forming a resonance with Qing Meng and the Sea Heart Flame, sensing something was amiss.
"Don't worry, everything is fine. Young Master Xiao Yan is cultivating," Xiao Meng replied.
"Is that so?" Xun Er looked at the cultivation room with a slightly suspicious gaze, temporarily believing Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng's attitude towards Xiao Yan was obvious to all, so even after meeting her this time and feeling that she seemed to have changed a bit, Xun Er did not believe she would be detrimental to Xiao Yan.
Just then, the tightly closed door burst open with a bang, and Medusa, with a delicate face, a captivating figure that would involuntarily ignite desire in anyone who saw her, emerged from inside, her clothes slightly disheveled.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was enduring physical discomfort.
Medusa glanced at Xiao Meng and Xun Er, ignored the two dumbfounded girls, and left on her own.
Xun Er stood stunned for a long while before letting out a long breath, a smile devoid of emotion on her face:
"Is this what you meant by Brother Xiao Yan cultivating?"
Xiao Meng was also a bit confused, wondering why Queen Medusa came out at this time... Refining a Heavenly Flame, Queen Medusa... Linking these together, she inexplicably had some associations.
Did Young Master Xiao Yan make another mistake? But that shouldn't be, the Sea Heart Flame isn't the Fallen Heart Flame, which can ignite heart fire, and the energy within it isn't so vast that Xiao Yan couldn't refine it alone, requiring others to share the burden.
Or, because of some other Amon doing something, did it change the relationship between Xiao Yan and Medusa? Leading them to have deeper feelings earlier?
Xiao Yan wanted to close the door and continue refining the Sea Heart Flame. He walked to the entrance and saw Xiao Meng and Xun Er. Seeing that they were not harmed by Medusa, who had left in anger, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he noticed the half-smile on Xun Er's face, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Brother Xiao Yan, can you explain what's going on? Why are you sharing a room with some inexplicable woman in the middle of the night?" Xun Er said quietly.
Xiao Meng, looking like she enjoyed the drama, fanned the flames: "Young Master Xiao Yan, if you have other women in your heart, Xiao Meng wouldn't mind, but you should have made it clear just now..."
"No, I..." Xiao Yan was momentarily speechless. He organized his thoughts and said: "This really isn't it, I almost died at that woman's hands! She is Queen Medusa!"
