Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 97 Medusa's Inner World

"You really need to keep it with you!"

Seeing that Xiao Bai had examined the golden dragon and made a decision, Medusa's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible worry, and she couldn't help but ask.

After Xiao Bai asked the question, a look of confusion flashed in the dragon's small eyes; it didn't know what was going on.

With amnesia, he only remembered that it was a golden lightning bolt. He followed the lightning tribulation to this place in a daze, and finally found Xiao Yi, eventually turning into an egg.

When it was born, the sky was dark, and it felt as if something was tightly locking onto it, making it tremble slightly. But suddenly, an aura appeared on Xiao Bai's body, which helped it block out that locking.

This aura lingered in its soul, making it feel an irresistible sense of closeness to Xiao Bai. Its intuition told it that if it left the protection of this aura, it would be targeted again.

This is why it serves Xiao Bai as its master.

"Hey, mistress, this dragon is exceptionally swift and mighty, wise and powerful, with unparalleled talent. With my assistance, my lord will surely soar to the heavens! What are you doubting?"

Seeing Medusa's suspicious look, the golden dragon became dissatisfied, stood up straight from Xiao Bai's shoulder, waved its claws, and shouted loudly.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he chuckled cheekily, "Don't worry, Mistress, I am a Thunder Spirit, I have no distinction between male and female, and I won't compete with you for my master!"

Medusa's beautiful eyes darkened as she stared intently at the golden dragon, her fists clenched tightly. She wanted to beat this foul-mouthed dragon to death.

"Don't worry, Sasha, I'm confident!" Seeing Medusa's furious expression, Xiao Bai quickly scooped up the golden dragon in his hand to silence it.

"Call me Queen!" Medusa's eyes turned cold as she glared fiercely at Xiao Bai. "Like master, like pet—birds of a feather flock together!"

Speaking of pets, she seemed to remember something, lightly lifted her eyelids, glanced at Xiao Bai indifferently, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

As Xiao Bai watched that graceful and beautiful back view, a smile appeared on his face. Medusa's attitude towards him after her evolution was truly intriguing!

"My lord, look how capable I am! Now she doesn't even object to being called the mistress anymore!" The golden dragon put its hands on its hips on Xiao Bai's shoulder and smiled smugly.

"Not bad!" Xiao Bai glanced at the smug little golden dragon on his shoulder, his expression calm, and the corners of his eyes curved slightly.

"Then," the little golden dragon looked at Xiao Bai with some anticipation.

"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Bai ignored it, sat cross-legged, and prepared to cultivate here.

The concentration of lightning-attribute energy here is quite good at the moment. Although it is still dissipating, you can absorb a little bit at a time. Cultivation is something that is accumulated little by little like this.

Xiao Bai would not waste any opportunity.

"Damn it, you're killing me after I've served my purpose, like a dog being cooked after the rabbit is caught. You're mistreating me! I'm running away from home! I'm going to..."

Little Golden Dragon was very angry and threw a tantrum on his shoulder.

After a while, seeing that Xiao Bai ignored it, it lay down listlessly, closed its eyes, and soon after, the little golden dragon was seen absorbing the surrounding lightning attribute energy with its mysterious breathing.

Xiao Bai's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't open his eyes; however, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow in his heart.

"Another foodie has arrived!"

Medusa returned to the throne in the Serpent People's Temple, leaning back lazily. Feeling the immense energy within her, a smile played on her lips, and her eyes were filled with joy.

She succeeded, fulfilling her decades-long dream and now having the potential to lead the Serpent People to a new era. This was the hope of countless generations of the Serpent People, and she brought them a glimmer of hope.

But then she thought of the man who had helped her, and a look of confusion flashed in her narrow eyes.

She didn't know what her heart was feeling at that moment.

While in the underground space filled with strange fire, she was tricked and controlled by him, and she wished she could tear this cunning human to pieces!

She thought he was going to make some unreasonable demands, but he didn't, which made her think more highly of him.

She was aware of her own charm, so why had she become so infamous over the years?

Firstly, too many people coveted the snake-people race; secondly, even more coveted her personally.

In this world, it's hard to gain a foothold if you're not ruthless; others will think you're easy to bully. The snake people are surrounded by human kingdoms, and if these people discovered that the snake people were even slightly weak, they would probably have been devoured long ago.

For the sake of her people, and to deter those who coveted her, she had to grit her teeth and endure, giving everyone the impression that even in death, she would take a piece of their flesh.

Because she is the queen! Behind her are millions of snake-people who need her protection.

Later, Xiao Bai offered to use a different kind of fire to help her evolve. While she was overjoyed, she was also a little wary, wondering what other conditions he would ask for besides the three things.

But he didn't mention any conditions!

Later, when she returned to her clan to arrange affairs, which took time, she asked for help for the first time in order to ensure the survival of the clan.

Seeing that he didn't speak at first, she was prepared to face his refusal or even harsh words, but later he agreed in the form of a deal, saving her face.

In her view, the deal was like child's play. The snake people had no alchemists, and they didn't have much stock of medicinal herbs or magic cores, but he didn't seem to care much.

The night before the evolution, even though she didn't say anything, that person seemed to know what she was going to say. Although they didn't say anything at the time, they still gave her Little Yi during the evolution.

Later, during the evolution, when she was in dire straits, it was he who reached out a helping hand and pulled her back from the brink of destruction when she was in despair.

Of course, if that's all there is to it, she would at most consider it a life-saving favor, and she would lend a hand if needed in the future.

However, it all started with that seal.

During the evolution, Xiao Bai's seal and her soul were attacked together, which eventually seemed to cause the two to merge.

She seemed to have developed some kind of connection with Xiao Bai!

She didn't know how to describe this feeling. After waking up from her dazed state in her sea of ​​consciousness, she learned about Xiao Bai's sadness and joy.

We grieve for her passing, and rejoice that she lives!

Even among the Serpent People, her fall would cause them grief, but their grief would be greater for the loss of a king.

This left her with mixed feelings, unsure of what she was experiencing.

Given her true nature, anyone who dares to take advantage of her would be torn to pieces long ago. Otherwise, would they really think that Medusa's fearsome reputation over the years is unfounded?

But she was startled to find that she couldn't bring herself to kill Xiao Bai at all, and was even dissatisfied and angry with some of his actions.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Could it be that she had really developed some feelings for him?

After a moment of contemplation in the red mist, she couldn't help but want to unleash her innate charm on Xiao Bai without reservation, partly for revenge and partly to test him.

She thought to herself that if he behaved badly, it meant that his heart was just like those filthy men, and these emotions were simply lust. She decided to erase that feeling from her heart.

To his surprise, not only did he manage to resist, but he also seemed to be the one being manipulated by that guy.

"Ugh!"

"I wonder if this sensation is one-way or two-way?"

"Judging from that guy's expression, he seems unaware!"

In the main hall, after a sigh, Medusa murmured, seemingly relieved that Xiao Bai could not sense her.
