the two, who had been entwined for days, finally parted ways. Medusa licked her lips, looking reluctant to part, leaving Hun Changqing speechless.
The two walked together out of the ruined mountain peak. Medusa's face was radiant, full of spring's glow. In the past few days, she had finally vented all the resentment of the past two years in some indescribable way, and she was in a very good mood.
Hun Changqing was also in a good mood. After all, being greeted by Medusa like this as soon as he came out of seclusion made him feel very satisfied. Moreover, doing things with Medusa was not comparable to Ya Fei and the others.
After all, Medusa was a Dou Zong, the same level of cultivation as him. Her physical body was extremely terrifying, and the energy in her body was also very abundant. If the two of them really exhausted themselves, it would take more than ten days to finish.
Previously, Hun Changqing's encounters with Gu Xun'er and Ya Fei had always lasted only a few hours, fearing that too much time would harm them. Although he was quite satisfied, it certainly wasn't as enjoyable as his time with Medusa.
"Medusa, are you going back to the Snake-People tribe?" Hun
Changqing instinctively wanted to slip away, and the coldhearted words slipped out.
Upon hearing Hun Changqing's words, Medusa's previously smiling face instantly turned cold, a sharp glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"You really want me to go back?"
Hun Changqing's expression stiffened upon hearing Medusa's words.
"Doesn't the Snake-People tribe need you back to oversee things? After all, you are the Queen of the Snake-People tribe."
Medusa's eyes now flashed with ferocity, her expression slightly distorted, as she spoke viciously.
"When I left, I had already settled the Snake-People tribe, leaving behind two streams of Dou Qi capable of annihilating any enemy below the Dou Zong level.
I also significantly improved the cultivation of one of their leaders, who is about to advance to Dou Huang and will soon inherit Medusa's title.
The Snake-People tribe only needs to live in some prosperous areas; this strength is enough for them to protect their territory, so I don't need to go back.
What, are you trying to drive me away again? If you dare to do that, I will definitely fight to the death with you!"
Hun Changqing understood that Medusa was going to leave with him, and that she had already made arrangements for her affairs.
His future days might not be as carefree as before; the days of sending Hai Bodong to "negotiate" with whomever he had his eye on might be gone forever.
However, Hun Changqing thought again that it wouldn't be a problem for Medusa to come with him. After all, her potential was terrifying, and she wouldn't hold him back.
Moreover, Medusa's heart was now entirely devoted to him, and she would be a powerful ally in the future.
He couldn't bear to forcibly drive her away. For a woman who loved him wholeheartedly, Hun Changqing was still very soft-hearted and
couldn't bring himself to be cold and ruthless. He just needed to be more discreet about any future romantic encounters, lest she find out. Medusa didn't seem like the type to share her man with other women.
"Sigh~ My wonderful single life is about to end. I'm always too soft-hearted~ too soft-hearted~"
After figuring it out, Hun Changqing silently mourned for himself, reciting a line from a song. Then he wrapped his arms around Medusa's slender, boneless waist and said,
"Medusa, how can you think of your brother Qing like that? Is your brother Qing that kind of person? Your thinking is very wrong. Brother Qing only asked you about the snake-people because he doesn't want you to go back. See, you've misunderstood~"
Hearing Hun Changqing's words, the coldness on Medusa's pretty face softened slightly. She crossed her arms and let Hun Changqing hold her.
"Stop spouting these weird things. Do you even believe what you're saying? I saw everything you did inside the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Upon hearing this, Hun Changqing's smile froze instantly.
Medusa snorted coldly and continued,
"Hmph, I'll follow you wherever you go. If you try to do what you did before, I'm telling you, no way! I'll kill anyone you fancy! Or you can kill me first! If you're trying to drive me away because of this, I'll take you down with me!"
With that, Medusa broke free from Hun Changqing's groping hand and stormed off.
Hun Changqing watched Medusa's graceful back with a bitter expression, sighing,
"Alas~ My brother Qing is suffering~"
...
"Hurry up and follow me!"
Seeing Hun Changqing standing still, Medusa turned around and scolded him angrily.
"Oh~"
Hun Changqing followed like a defeated rooster, his face crestfallen.
...
Having walked out of the ruined mountain peak, Hun Changqing was about to take a step through the air to leave the valley when he suddenly spotted Hai Bodong meditating by a small river in the distance. Hun Changqing was puzzled; hadn't he told Hai Bodong to leave already? Why was he still here?
Hun Changqing released his hold on Medusa and flashed in front of Hai Bodong, causing a flash of displeasure in Medusa's eyes.
"Hiss!"
Hai Bodong was startled by Hun Changqing's sudden appearance, almost jumping up. His icy battle qi instinctively gathered in his hand; if he hadn't recognized Hun Changqing in time, he would have already smashed a large ice spike into Hai Bodong's face.
Hun Changqing glanced at the large ice spike in Hai Bodong's hand, making Hai Bodong's eye twitch. Then, he asked curiously,
"Didn't I say you were free? Why are you still here?"
Hearing Hun Changqing's curious tone about why he hadn't left, Hai Bodong almost couldn't catch his breath and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"So, you really intended for me to go back two years ago? Then why the hell did you give me that look when you left? I thought that look had some special meaning, otherwise I would have left long ago!"
Hai Bodong roared inwardly, on the verge of tears.
"Heh...heh heh, Your Excellency is wise and mighty, I admire you, and I am willing to follow you."
As he said these words, Hai Bodong's heart was bleeding. He hated himself for being so stupid as not to go back a year ago. With his current strength as a Dou Zong, he would be an emperor emeritus in the Jia Ma Empire! Why would he follow Hun Changqing and suffer humiliation here?
However, now that Hun Changqing has come out, and Medusa is watching him like a hawk, Hai Bodong guesses that if he said he wanted to go back to the Jia Ma Empire, Medusa would tear him apart.
He hadn't forgotten that Medusa didn't kill him a year ago because he was Hun Changqing's follower. If he didn't follow him now, he might be buried in this auspicious place today.
