Chapter 1 - Nv Wa & Medusa

After Medusa was turned into a snake-haired witch, she began to petrify people everywhere. The people in that place were all petrified. Because her father was the god of the sea, she was very skilled in water. She drifted around in the sea, visited the Cape of Good Hope, petrified the people on this land and then left. Finally, she arrived in ancient China.

She met a woman who was also a human with a snake body. The difference was that this woman's hair was normal. She saw this woman using a willow leaf dipped in mud water to mark things around. She was very curious and went up to ask her, "Who are you? What's your name? What are you doing?" The woman said, "I'm Nv Wa, I'm creating people." Medusa looked at the mud dots on the ground and saw that they really turned into little people. She looked at the mud figure in Nv Wa's hand and found that the one she had molded with clay only needed to be gently placed on the ground to immediately turn into a beautiful woman. Medusa hated beautiful people and picked up the little beautiful woman on the ground, forcing her to look directly at her. Instantly, this little beautiful woman turned back into a stone woman and fell heavily to the ground. But Nv Wa saw this scene without getting angry. She was the mother of the earth, kind and gentle. Nv Wa just gently touched the stone woman with a willow branch, and the stone woman came back to life. But Medusa was not willing to give up and picked up the little people running on the ground, petrified them and threw them on the ground, while Nv Wa was behind patiently petrifying them. Nv Wa regarded Medusa as a playful girl.

Over and over again, Medusa felt that it was boring. She immediately put down the little stone people and turned around to swim towards the sea. Nv Wa gently caught the little stone people, brought them back to life, and started the next round of creating people.

After tens of thousands of years, human civilization reached the stage of using technology. Medusa bought an airplane ticket and planned to revisit the place - China. If you ask why Medusa didn't swim there? Because the sea is seriously polluted now. When Medusa washed her snake-haired wig in the Aegean Sea, she found that the few snakes she washed suddenly turned into five-headed snakes, but they had no eyes or sharp teeth. It was equivalent to the extra four heads had no function of releasing venom, they were a mutation. Medusa made a quick decision to cut these snake-haired wigs with scissors to avoid ruining her beautiful and elegant image. Moreover, just at this time, China had visa-free policies!!! After landing in China, Medusa wore sunglasses, enjoyed Chinese cuisine, and sunbathed. Life was very pleasant. One day, she casually wandered into Nv Wa's temple and planned to go inside to look for a "friend" who wasn't really a friend of hers. Before entering, she heard Nv Wa's comfort: "It's not your fault. Nowadays, young people don't want to get married, the list is smaller, it's normal. Look at the people here who are seeking children, the number has also decreased. The current environment is not good, normal." Medusa listened attentively beside her and looked inside. It turned out that she was talking to an old man with a white beard. The old man self-mocked, this red thread used to tie lovers has not been used for a long time. It seems that my matchmaker will be optimized soon, haha.

Medusa understood what they were talking about. She was quite curious about this matter. This red thread was so magical, as long as it was tied together, it could become a lover. So after Yue Lao left the Nv Wa temple, Medusa deliberately bumped into him head-on and took a few red threads from him. Holding the red thread, Medusa did whatever she wanted. Seeing two people who were compatible, even strangers, she would tie them together. Eventually, there was a big problem.

There was a couple who were on the verge of divorce. The man had committed domestic violence against the woman, and the woman filed for divorce. The day they went to the civil affairs bureau to get divorced, they happened to encounter Medusa. Medusa knew that the civil affairs bureau was for people to get married, but she didn't know that the two of them were there to divorce. She casually looped the red thread around them. This made the couple, who had been looking at each other coldly before, fall in love again. The woman asked for thirst and wanted to go buy some drinks, so she went outside first. But the man didn't change his nature. As the saying goes, once a dog has eaten, it can't change its habits. As soon as he came out, he saw the woman chatting happily with the beverage seller, and immediately turned his face coldly and dragged the woman to the alley, beating and kicking her brutally. Medusa witnessed the entire process. She knew that it was her fault that had put the woman in such a dangerous situation. She took a step forward and grabbed the man's collar, pinning his neck, and seductively said, "Look into my eyes, just one glance." Then she took off her sunglasses. When the man saw Medusa's deep blue eyes, he began to petrify little by little, starting from his eyes and slowly extending to his feet. When he was completely petrified, her hand on his neck tightened, and the statue shattered into pieces. Accompanying this was the woman's scream and the appearance of a man and a woman falling from the sky.

The ones who came were Nv Wa and the Yue Lao. It turned out that not long after the Jade God left, he noticed that the marriage book on the system started to give wrong reports. Nv Wa noticed that Medusa was eavesdropping at the door in the beginning, but she didn't step in to catch her, because she knew that Medusa didn't have ill intentions and just didn't know that she would cause such a big disaster. Nv Wa looked at the man who had been shattered into pieces in front of her and the Medusa who was always vigilant and ready to fight, and just smiled gently, saying, "Thank you for saving her." Medusa was surprised. She didn't expect to be greeted not by a stormy battle or punishment, but by a gentle expression of gratitude. This made her suddenly understand that she could also be the one being thanked, and she wasn't the source of all the evil. Her eyes moistened, and she removed all her precautions, rushing forward to embrace Nv Wa. Nv Wa patted her on the shoulder as a response. But at the same time, a voice that couldn't be questioned rang out from behind Medusa, "International Administration! Who made the call?" 

When Medusa heard this, she was terrified. She suddenly turned around and found that there were a group of young people in black uniforms standing behind her, along with the man she had crushed. The taste of betrayal flooded her heart. She looked back at Nv Wa with self-mockery and anger. Nv Wa raised her hand and signaled to the Administration's people, "It was I who made the call. It was just a misunderstanding. I'm very sorry!" The Jade God also agreed, "Yes, it was a misunderstanding." At that moment, the betrayed Medusa felt embarrassed and ashamed. She shouldn't have doubted Nv Wa.

It turned out that during the embrace, Nv Wa used a magic spell to bring the man back to life, so that the Administration couldn't take Medusa away. But taking the Yue Lao's red thread and randomly arranging couples couldn't just be left like that. Nv Wa used this as an excuse to ask Medusa to find those who were forced to be married and make the system return to normal.
