Being looked at by Xiao Yan with a half-smile, Medusa's enchanting cheeks visibly flushed with redness. Amid the interweaving of shyness and charm, an indescribable allure arose.
It was a complex mix of cold elegance and gentleness, pride and bashfulness.
The dazzling multicolored light flickered. Without notice, Medusa, facing Xiao Yan, directly used spatial power and instantly vanished from this place.
After storing the Black Demon Cauldron, Xiao Yan hurriedly gave chase.
Although now he could use spatial power with his powerful soul force, he had never applied it this way and was not yet fully proficient.
Still, his speed at full exertion was not slow, and within a few breaths he arrived at Medusa's bedchamber.
Compared to over two years ago, the lingering fragrance here was even richer. Xiao Yan scanned the surroundings and extended the jade bottle in his hand toward Medusa: "Don't you want the pill? The newly refined pill has the best efficacy."
Medusa took the jade bottle with delicate hands, still warm to the touch. Her red lips slightly parted: "This isn't the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, right?"
"I said it before, we'll give our child the best things." Xiao Yan stepped forward, lightly embracing Medusa's water-serpent-like waist.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Medusa's heart softened. She tilted her head toward him, and her light purple eyes flickered with a special emotion.
Xiao Yan took back the jade bottle and slowly poured out the pill within: "This pill is already eighth-grade. It is far superior to the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill."
"Eighth-grade?!" Medusa's eyes flashed with shock as she looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
Although she had suspected this pill was extraordinary, she never imagined it would reach eighth-grade level.
An eighth-grade pill, for her, existed only in legend.
In this vast Dou Qi continent, the northwest region was but a tiny corner.
Even traveling the entire northwest, finding an eighth-grade pill would be nearly impossible.
And this pill before her was not only eighth-grade but personally refined by Xiao Yan.
In just over two years, Xiao Yan, not yet twenty, had already become an eighth-grade alchemist—an incredible achievement.
Even Gu He, a mere sixth-grade alchemist, could enjoy fame in the Gamma Empire.
Considering Xiao Yan's age and accomplishments, he far surpassed Gu He and would be a highly sought figure throughout the northwest.
"Quick, take it." Xiao Yan pinched the pill, placing it near Medusa's red lips.
Under the glow of the innate soul blood pill, Medusa appeared even more enchanting. Her lips seemed to radiate endless temptation.
Her radiant skin shimmered like it was coated in a soft glow, intoxicating to behold.
"Is this pill suitable?" Medusa softly exhaled, recalling the scene of Xiao Yan refining the pill. She spoke with slight concern.
The eighth-grade pill's medicinal power was far stronger than the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill; she felt a bit uneasy.
"The power of the Innate Soul Blood Pill will allow the fetus to undergo a special absorption and refinement process during growth. It is not like ordinary pills, which force the user to absorb the medicinal power rapidly."
Hearing this, Medusa slightly parted her lips and took the pill, placing it into her mouth and swallowing it.
Once ingested, the pill transformed into a gentle energy, flowing downward and slowly resting at her abdomen.
Warmth surged through her body. Medusa let out a soft, comfortable hum, her jade hand lightly stroking her waist.
The Innate Soul Blood Pill refined by Xiao Yan was indeed extraordinary. The pill's medicinal power had no leakage and was entirely transferred to the child.
Suddenly, a surge of heat arrived, making Medusa snap back to reality.
Though more than two years had passed, how could she forget the thing that made her become what she was now? With flushed cheeks, she looked at Xiao Yan, shy yet alluring, utterly captivating.
Xiao Yan wrapped his arms around Medusa's supple, delicate waist. In her slightly moved eyes, he lifted her and slowly walked toward the bed.
"Xiao Yan, don't…" Medusa pressed her red lips together. More than two years had passed since last time. The words of refusal were on her lips, but they emerged as a soft, faint voice: "Don't hurt the child."
Xiao Yan gently laid Medusa on the bed, completely different from the rough movements of the previous two times.
By mid-morning, warm sunlight gently filled the bedchamber.
The soft light filtered through the window lattice, casting dappled shadows across every corner, bringing a tranquil and cozy atmosphere.
Under this warm light, every part of the chamber seemed serene and beautiful, as if time itself slowed, allowing one to indulge in the peace and warmth.
Blinking his dark lashes, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes: the cultivation gains of the past two years still seemed less than a single night of last evening. No wonder a king would love a beauty more…
Looking at Medusa at her dressing table, Xiao Yan sat up, glanced at his robe, now soaked, and quickly retrieved a new one from the Bone Flame Ring, changing efficiently before slowly walking over.
In the bronze mirror, her long black hair flowed like a waterfall, cascading to her slender willow waist. Her enchanting face was like a finely sculpted porcelain, fair and delicate, still carrying the faint blush of passion.
Her multicolored dress outlined her breathtaking curves, making her even more captivating.
Xiao Yan embraced Medusa from behind, inhaling the fragrance of her hair. He had not expected her to be with child so soon; otherwise…
Looking at Xiao Yan's reflection in the mirror, Medusa bit her red lips lightly: "When we first met, you defeated me, and there was that bet concerning the future of the serpent clan. I knew then, I would probably fall into your hands."
"Every queen of the serpent clan, if truly devoted to someone, will remain loyal and unyielding. She will not easily dance for another. If her love dies, her heart dies with it. This is the inheritance among the bloodline of Queen Medusa of the serpent clan."
At these words, she turned to gaze at Xiao Yan, her eyes full of tender affection.
Overnight, she had realized many things. If she were an ordinary woman, or Xiao Yan an ordinary human, they would have never intersected.
It was precisely because Xiao Yan was a genius, and she was extraordinary, that things had developed to today.
Xiao Yan's heart stirred: Could it be… had Medusa already felt affection for him?
"The matter of transforming the Tagore Great Desert, which I promised, I already have a plan for—just lacking some materials."
