Chapter 390: A Late Night Lovers' Talk Meeting Xiao Yi Xian
Wu Tian sighed helplessly. His wife was getting jealous again, now that no one else was around.
But honestly, he kind of liked it…
"Hehehe~ If you dare act out here, I might just let those two come keep you company," Medusa teased, flashing a seductive smile as her long, narrow eyes glanced toward the two women atop Black Mountain Fortress.
Wu Tian's forehead twitched with black lines.
As a Dou Venerate, he could obviously hear every word they were saying.
But a smart man knew when to play deaf. Sometimes, acting clueless was the best strategy.
Looking around in feigned confusion, Wu Tian asked, "Them? Who are they? Are you talking about Yun'er and Yanran?"
Medusa chuckled behind her hand, her cold voice laced with amusement.
"You wish. They haven't made up their minds yet… But speaking of them, something about their reaction to Xiao Yi Xian seemed… off. You should go talk to them."
"Hmm~ I'll go tomorrow night."
"...My dear 'Guardian Spirit,' why do I feel like the stronger you become, the more shameless you get?"
Medusa smirked, her eyes flashing with a playful glint.
"I clearly remember a time when you wouldn't even dare to touch my silk robe."
Wu Tian's face stiffened.
Her silk robe?
He still had that thing tucked away in his storage ring!
Back then, a few people had wanted to borrow it but he refused.
The whole "borrowing clothes" situation had gone terribly wrong in another world… he wasn't about to repeat those four cursed words!
Ahem. Anyway.
Some things were meant to be worn at the right time, in the right place…
Otherwise, his dignity as a Venerable Lord would be completely destroyed.
"Ahem~ That was a different matter entirely," Wu Tian coughed, playing the innocent. "I am as pure as a blank sheet of paper how could I possibly turn bad?"
Medusa narrowed her eyes, her ruby lips curving into a smug smirk.
"Hmph~ You say that, but we've been fighting for so long and yet…"
Before she could finish, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her.
Her delicate hand reached out to brace against a tree for support.
Wu Tian immediately rushed to her side, concern etched across his face.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Medusa reassured him with a gentle smile. "I think I just haven't fully recovered from my fight with Xiao Yi Xian earlier."
Wu Tian blinked in confusion, about to say something
But Medusa cut him off first.
"By the way, they were right," she continued, her expression serious. "Ya Fei is extremely capable. The fact that she can manage such a vast territory proves she could be a great help to you. So, do you want to…?"
Wu Tian's eyes widened slightly.
Wait…
Was she seriously suggesting this?
"Let's talk about that later," Wu Tian replied. "Right now, the Three Empires have just stabilized. Expansion isn't the priority. When the time comes… you, my Queen, will be the ruler of the entire Northwest Continent."
"Ruler of the Northwest…?" Medusa's eyes widened in shock.
"That's right," Wu Tian nodded. "Now that Serpent Pavilion has provoked Soul Hall, our only option is to keep expanding. If we want to survive, we must grow stronger.
"And wasn't it always your dream to make the Snake People Tribe feared across the Dou Qi Continent? I'll help you achieve that dream."
Medusa felt a wave of emotion surge through her.
According to the ancient records of her tribe, the Snake People were once one of the top clans in Central Plains.
But they had long since fallen into decline, forced to reside in the remote Jia Ma Empire.
Compared to the Xiao Clan, their fall from grace was equally tragic but at least the Snake People still had a Queen to ensure their survival.
Medusa had always dreamed of restoring her people to their former glory.
And now, with Wu Tian by her side… she realized this was her once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Alright!" she declared firmly. "No matter what you decide, I'll stand by you. But… there is one condition."
Her golden eyes locked onto his with an unyielding gaze.
Wu Tian raised a curious brow.
"Alright," he agreed. "I'll do whatever you ask."
Medusa pouted.
"You agreed way too fast! Hmph~ That's no fun."
Wu Tian smirked.
"What can I say? You're my wife. It doesn't matter how many conditions you give me I'll accept them all."
He playfully pinched her soft, flawless cheek, his tone teasing.
"Oh~"
Medusa's cheeks flushed red.
Her heart melted a little.
But the next second, her eyes flashed with mischief.
"How dare you pinch my face? Hmph! I command you to sleep on the floor tonight!"
Wu Tian's lips curled into a mysterious grin.
"Oh? My dear Queen, if you make me sleep on the floor… then you'll have to sleep on top of me."
"Hmph~"
Medusa turned her head away, biting her lip without refuting him.
Wu Tian chuckled darkly.
"Oh, my dear Medusa… I trained you for an entire year in the Magma World, and yet you still think you can resist me? This battle of wills… will last a lifetime."
"I suppose… I should go back and 'discipline' you properly…"
But just then
A powerful energy fluctuation rippled through the air.
Both Wu Tian and Medusa turned their heads sharply toward the distant sky.
Moments later
A slender, white clad figure stepped through the void.
Although she appeared to be moving slowly, in reality
With just a few flickers of movement, she arrived at the mountain peak.
Xiao Yi Xian.
Wu Tian smiled.
"You're finally here."
Any later, and he wouldn't have been able to see her for at least a few more days…
(Not that he would say that out loud.)
Xiao Yi Xian floated gracefully to his side.
Under the soft glow of the moonlight, her gray violet eyes flickered toward Medusa.
She gave a small nod before speaking in her usual calm, emotionless tone.
"The Three Armies have begun retreating," she reported. "But there were quite a few issues. I had to discipline them a little before they fully obeyed."
Wu Tian could tell
She was trying to return to the innocent girl she used to be.
Even though she had changed, she still wanted to become the Xiao Yi Xian he once knew.
"Did anyone resist?" Medusa asked, her brows slightly furrowed.
"In the Cloud Mist Empire, I have absolute authority. No one dared to defy me," Xiao Yi Xian stated.
Wu Tian nodded.
Of course.
Anyone foolish enough to oppose her would be instantly reduced to poison sludge.
"But the Gold Goose Sect and Mulan Valley were different. With their leaders dead, their remaining forces refused to submit at first."
"But fortunately, Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian arrived in time to suppress them."
Wu Tian nodded again.
With those two handling things, there was nothing to worry about.
Extending his hand, he flicked his fingers
A dark gray scroll materialized in his palm.
Handing it to Xiao Yi Xian, he said,
"This is the list of materials you'll need to fully control your Woeful Poison Body. Take a look."
