Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 54, Medusa: You may make any request of me.

"The Jia Ma Empire has been relatively quiet recently. The Yunlan Sect has been dormant since Xiao Yan caused a great disturbance there. The Jia Ma royal family has also focused some of its energy on the Yunlan Sect because of Yun Shan's breakthrough."

"I heard that a new sect called the 'Poison Sect' has recently emerged in the Izumo Empire. Their sect leader, Heavenly Poison Maiden, is incredibly skilled in poison techniques and has caused quite a bit of trouble for the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect."

"As for the Mulan Empire, their Fengxing Auction House sent people to do business with the Jiama Empire Auction House some time ago, but they were intercepted and killed by us. Now the people from Fengxing Auction House are still demanding justice from the Mittel family."

"Then there's the Heavenly Serpent Empire. The Heavenly Serpent Palace seems to be making a lot of noise, and I heard they're preparing to send people to the Gama royal family to discuss cooperation, but I don't know the specifics of what they'll be cooperating on."

The Serpent People's enemies are not limited to the Gama Empire alone.

All the surrounding empires are enemies of the Serpent People.

It's just that they usually have more conflicts with the Gama Empire.

"Accounts need to be settled one by one. It would be better to start by settling accounts with the Gama Empire."

Medusa's biggest grudge was against the Gama Empire.

Especially when she was evolving, the people from the Gama Empire broke in and caused a huge disturbance.

If it weren't for Ning Su, she might have failed to evolve at that time.

Medusa always remembered this debt—she was quite vengeful!

"Get ready. Next, we will show the Gama Empire the strength of our snake people little by little. Otherwise, after all these years, they will think we are easy to bully."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ning participated in the entire meeting, but did not utter a single word.

In the past, he and a few elders would discuss these kinds of things.

Now that Medusa has regained control, he has nothing to do with it anymore.

It feels like being used and then discarded by Medusa—of course, Ning Su doesn't feel that way.

He couldn't wait for Medusa to take back the burden of the snake people.

Isn't it better to just laze around and get by?

He didn't possess the lofty ambitions and sense of responsibility that Medusa did.

If Medusa hadn't repeatedly said she would entrust him with the heavy responsibility of the snake people, Ning Su really wouldn't have wanted to get involved.

……

"Little Black, what are you daydreaming about?"

Medusa turned and glanced at Ning Su, who seemed lost in thought.

He didn't say a word the entire way from the main hall back to his bedchamber.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that his soul had been stolen and that he was just a body.

"Oh? It's nothing."

"You've been helping manage the clan's affairs all this time; thank you for your hard work."

"It wasn't hard work, actually I didn't do much," Ning Su admitted somewhat embarrassedly.

"When you helped me refine the Spirit Fusion Pill, I said I would give you a special queen-like reward."

Upon hearing this, Ning Su immediately perked up.

The Queen's reward—that sounds extraordinary!

"So, what reward will the Queen give me?" He rubbed his hands together expectantly.

The most anticipated reward is the unknown one.

"Guess what I'll reward you with?" Medusa asked, keeping everyone in suspense.

As she spoke, she walked to the bedside, then muttered something with a hint of resentment.

"I don't quite understand why humans evolved to have feet. I feel so tired walking in shoes these past few days."

Medusa was wearing the shoes that Ning Su had given her, which were also her only pair of shoes.

She hadn't been in human form for very long, and she wasn't used to walking yet.

Just as she was about to take off her shoes, Ning Su quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and then lifted Medusa's foot.

"Your Majesty, let me help you."

He gently lifted Medusa's foot, then took off her shoe, revealing a snow-white jade foot.

However, there was some redness around the arch of her foot, which was probably caused by Medusa not being used to the way she walked.

Medusa watched him help her take off her shoes and suddenly asked, "Little Black, why are you so willing to take off my shoes?"

Ning said in a serious tone, "Because these shoes were a gift from me to the Queen, I hope that no other man besides me can touch your shoes in the future."

She suddenly laughed, a laugh that was absolutely stunning.

"You talk as if I'm your pet. Don't forget, you're my pet."

Medusa couldn't help but pat his head.

Hmm, it feels good.

"Oh, right, you haven't answered my question yet. Guess what I'm going to reward you with?"

"I like anything that is a reward from the Queen."

As he spoke, he helped Medusa take off her other shoe as well.

Her snow-white, delicate feet were as beautiful as works of art.

Moreover, since Medusa had only recently taken human form, her feet had no odor whatsoever.

Yes, it was just the subtle, queenly fragrance emanating from her.

"You little rascal, you're getting better and better at talking."

The latest novel is first published here!

Medusa was clearly pleased.

"Then I won't beat around the bush. My reward for you is... you can make any request of me, and I will fulfill it as long as it's within my power."

? ? ! !

This reward is outrageous!

"Your Majesty, you're not joking, are you?"

Can you make any request?

There's a lot of room for maneuver here.

"I am a man of my word. Of course, the conditions for your request are that I can fulfill them."

"If you're asking me to wipe out the Gama Empire right now and subdue all the surrounding countries, I can't do it," Medusa said.

"I wouldn't make such a pointless request," Ning Su said, lowering her head to think.

What should I ask for?

"You'd better think this through carefully. There's only one request."

"Then, how about I ask the Queen to grant me three more requests?" Ning Su suddenly said.

Medusa: "..."

She couldn't help but punch the guy on the head.

"Don't try to play these tricks on me, or I'll withdraw my request!"

"No, no, no, let me think about it some more."

There's only one request: what should I do?

Should he have Medusa examine his legs and chest?

He can watch this anytime, there's no need to waste such an important opportunity.

So, let Medusa do some naughty things with him?

Just thinking about it is exciting, but... given Medusa's personality, she'd probably just cut off his precious thing.

They say you can make any request, but if you actually make any request that's malicious or has bad intentions...

Medusa will show him what it means to have the right to interpret everything as belonging to the Queen!

Suddenly, Ning Su thought of a request.

"Haven't decided yet? Cultivation techniques, combat skills, secret methods, anything is fine," Medusa urged.

Is it that hard to think of?

Or is this guy thinking of some filthy request?

After all, this kid is a lecherous scoundrel, so it's not impossible.

"No, I've already made up my mind."

Ning looked at her, her gaze gentle yet firm.

"My request is this: Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself from now on, and you can stay with me forever."
