Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 99 After the Crown Was Donned

"The Heavenly Serpent Palace has been searching for the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil for so many years; they won't let her suffer!"

Seeing Xiao Bai staring blankly in the direction where Qing Lin and the others had disappeared, Medusa stepped forward, glanced at him casually, her expression cold and languid, and slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai turned around, his eyes smiling, and said, "Sasha, are you concerned about me?"

Medusa remained expressionless, slightly tilting her head to glance at Xiao Bai with her phoenix eyes, then turned her head away, stood with her hands behind her back, and remained silent.

She's too lazy to correct this guy's way of addressing him anymore, and that wretched dragon too—neither master nor pet is any good!

Xiao Bai didn't care about her expression. He stared at her profile for a moment, then a hint of reluctance suddenly appeared in his eyes. He said with a touch of melancholy:

"Sasha, I'm leaving!"

Medusa's originally calm heart was suddenly stirred, and her hands behind her back clenched quietly, her eyes filled with mixed feelings.

Reluctant to part with it? It seems like there's a tiny bit of that.

Although his heart was in turmoil, he remained outwardly calm and composed, his eyelids slightly lowered. After a long pause, he let out a soft nasal sound:

"Um!"

With a slight upturn of his lips, Xiao Bai looked at the arrogant woman in front of him, his bright eyes full of smiles. He walked directly in front of her and faced her face to face.

Medusa looked at him calmly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, wondering what this guy was up to.

Xiao Bai's eyes were gentle as they met. His eyes met hers, and she saw that his long, narrow, alluring, and majestic phoenix eyes were like a clear spring in the desert, reflecting his faint figure.

They stared at each other for a moment, her eyes unblinking as she looked at him calmly, as if she were determined not to give in, without the slightest hint of evasion.

"How arrogant!" Xiao Bai muttered to himself.

Looking at her smooth forehead, Medusa hadn't worn any headdress since he took her crown. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, making her look less majestic.

Xiao Bai took out her golden crown from his storage ring. Medusa glanced at the crown out of the corner of her eye, but didn't say anything. However, she already knew what he was going to do.

Xiao Bai held the crown in both hands and gently placed it on her head. Medusa stared at him with her beautiful eyes, without stopping him.

"Once you put on the crown, you will no longer be a mortal, and you can no longer be tainted by worldly love." Just then, a half-dead voice suddenly rang out.

Medusa was taken aback upon hearing this, then her eyes suddenly turned cold, radiating a chilling light as she stared intently at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai was now contemplating killing someone. The atmosphere had been fine, but this suddenly appearing dead dragon had ruined everything.

With murderous intent, he looked at the little golden dragon clinging to his shoulder, its expression somber, muttering incantations. He scooped it up in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and kicked it away.

Damn it, all I did was stop you from playing with Xiao Yi, and now you're messing with me like this!

"Sasha, you have to believe me. You know what kind of personality that dragon has. How could I possibly mean that!" Xiao Bai said hurriedly with a serious expression as he looked at Medusa, who had a cold expression.

"I don't know what you're talking about, and you're no better than me!" Medusa's expression softened slightly as she snorted at Xiao Bai.

He kept glancing at Xiao Bai out of the corner of his eye, frowning inwardly, feeling annoyed. He had overreacted just now, and he didn't know why he had become so angry after hearing the meaning behind those words.

Xiao Bai looked at this stubborn woman. How could her little actions escape Xiao Bai's perception? But at this moment, the queen was actually quite cute!

"Haha. Yes, yes, I'm not a good person, okay?" Xiao Bai chuckled, not bothering to argue with her, then asked seriously:

"By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask you yet. The Devouring Python's soul encountered an accident during its evolution. Was the inheritance you received incomplete?"

The soul of that Devouring Python should have been shattered by the lightning tribulation. I wonder if it will affect Medusa's acquisition of its inheritance. I was distracted by the little golden dragon that day, and Xiao Bai forgot to ask her for a moment.

"I have absorbed all its soul fragments and sorted them out over the past two days. There is nothing missing!" Medusa shook her head slightly.

At first, she was a little worried, but after sorting through the memories she had obtained in her mind, she found that there were no missing parts, which greatly relieved her.

If the inherited memories are incomplete, although one can still cultivate, it will never be as perfect or efficient as cultivation with a complete inheritance, and future cultivation will definitely be affected.

"That's good!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai felt relieved. This time, Medusa's evolution was a year ahead of schedule, and she was not suppressed by the little Devouring Python's soul. She would probably be even stronger than before in three years!

We definitely won't be able to beat Protector Wu of the Soul Hall, that guy is a Earth-level Protector and a four-star Dou Zong. But dealing with Yun Shan will definitely be no problem, at this time Yun Shan might not even have broken through yet!

"Cultivate diligently! In a little over a year, I'll need your help!" Xiao Bai said earnestly, then added with a smile, "If you need anything else, like pills, I can't say for sure about seventh-grade pills, but for any pills below seventh grade, just tell me, and I'll find someone to refine them for you!"

Upon hearing Xiao Bai's words, a faint smile appeared on Medusa's cold and aloof face. She first nodded, then shook her head.

Xiao Bai was a little confused. What did it mean to nod and shake one's head at the same time?

Seemingly noticing Xiao Bai's confusion, Medusa pursed her red lips and said softly, "Just call me when you need help. As for anything else..."

"I don't want to owe you anything anymore!"

Xiao Bai frowned, not wanting to owe him any more money. What did he mean by that?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Medusa didn't explain this time, nor was there any need to.

She had already received too much kindness from him and didn't want to owe him any more. This was a decision she made after facing her heart and thinking it over repeatedly during her spare time these past two days!

She admitted that she had feelings for him that were different from those for others, even though the feelings were still very faint. But once they were there, they were there, and she wasn't the kind of person who was afraid to face them.

But at this moment she was still a little confused, not knowing whether this feeling was out of gratitude or her own true feelings.

What she wanted was that even if she had any entanglements with this human in the future, they could only stem from pure affection, and nothing else. This was Medusa's pride.

So before everything is clear, she doesn't want to accept any more of his unconditional help, as that would make her lose herself.

If she loses her true self, is Medusa still Medusa? Is she still the proud Queen Medusa?

Xiao Bai looked at her suddenly proud expression, and as his thoughts raced, he seemed to understand something.

"What a stubborn woman!" Xiao Bai thought to himself, both amused and exasperated. But it was precisely because of this that he felt he liked her even more!

"Alright! Her Majesty the Queen is like a plum blossom blooming on a snowy mountain peak, proud and strong. Even in the harshest environment, she blooms alone and never compromises for anyone! I am the same, am I?" Xiao Bai said with a bit of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Medusa's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her red lips curved into a smile.

The queen's presence at that moment made him momentarily dazed. Although she wasn't displaying that innate charm, Xiao Bai felt that she was even more beautiful and captivating at this moment!
