Within the sealed Star Region, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged at the edge of a blazing cliff, quietly studying the prescription in his hand. With his strength now having reached the level of a Dou Sheng, the medicinal pill he previously used to suppress the backlash of merged Heavenly Flames had long lost its effectiveness. He had to devise a stronger pill, or else—if such backlash erupted when refining the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame—he might just find himself in serious trouble.
"Master, why are you researching this? Don't you still have me?" Xiao Yao leaned against Xiao Yan's shoulder with a bright grin. "Even if the others aren't around, I can still help you suppress the backlash from the flames."
"Shut up." Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. Thinking of what had happened not long ago, he couldn't help but feel frustrated. This so-called help had only increased the difficulty of control. If not for her antics, he might not have lost to the flame backlash—again.
On the other side, Cai Lin was crouching silently, her eyes unfocused as she stared at Xiao Yan. Well… calling her Cai Lin now wasn't entirely accurate. When she had "helped" suppress the backlash last time, the residual power had triggered the return of Queen Medusa's memories. Strangely, even after regaining her true self, her body still instinctively continued to… cooperate with Xiao Yan.
Now that she remembered how she'd been clinging to him, acting spoiled, even calling him "Daddy," and doing those things with him, she was mortified to the point of wanting to hang herself. She truly had no idea how to face herself anymore.
"Cai Lin." Just then, Xiao Yan called her name. Queen Medusa instinctively responded, "What is it, Daddy—"
As the words slipped from her lips, she slapped herself. What the hell is wrong with me? Why would I call him that when I'm fully conscious!?
"Hm?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. He quickly noticed something different about her aura. Carefully scrutinizing her, he soon caught on. "You're… Queen Medusa now?"
"Yes." Queen Medusa gritted her teeth and answered with obvious resentment.
"When did you recover your memories?" Xiao Yan looked her up and down. He was surprised that after regaining control of the body, she still retained the youthful appearance of Cai Lin. No wonder he hadn't noticed—the shell still looked like the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
"It was just now… during that… incident." Queen Medusa faltered midway, a blush spreading over her cheeks. The recent events were simply too embarrassing to speak of, even for a proud and cold beauty like her. Xiao Yan, however, understood instantly. He gave her a half-smile and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"What, you think I'm like that idiot? Just give me a little treat and I'll wag my tail and cuddle up to you?" Queen Medusa sneered. "Let me tell you, don't even dream of it! I, Queen Medusa, would rather starve to death, die outside, jump off the Pill Tower, than eat a single thing from you!"
"Such spirit." Xiao Yan nodded approvingly. Then he extended a finger, releasing a thread of pure fire-element energy. Instantly, Queen Medusa leaned forward, her soft lips gently wrapping around his finger just like before.
As she did it, she froze. She wanted to stop—but her body, craving the familiar energy, acted like a loyal pet and instinctively nuzzled his palm.
"You… What sorcery have you used on me?" She pulled back, her gorgeous eyes filled with horror. Why did I do that so naturally? And why did it feel… good?
"I didn't use any magic," Xiao Yan said with a chuckle. "It's just the warmth of your master's care."
"Bastard! You're not my master!" Queen Medusa snapped.
"Really? Then what am I to you?" Xiao Yan smirked and swept his gaze meaningfully over her curvaceous figure.
"You're obviously—" She started to reply but abruptly clamped her mouth shut. She'd almost called him that word again. Grinding her teeth, she shot him a death glare. "Damn human! One day I'll—"
Before she could finish the threat, Xiao Yan released another wave of energy. The hostility in Queen Medusa's face instantly evaporated, replaced by a blank daze as she once again leaned toward him, allowing him to gently caress her cheek.
In truth, Queen Medusa and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python were originally one and the same—two souls sharing a body. After so long together, their souls had nearly fused. That meant the soul imprint Xiao Yan had placed on Cai Lin now affected Queen Medusa equally.
Of course, a mere soul imprint wouldn't be enough to make her this obedient. The real cause was the pure fire energy Xiao Yan had been feeding her for nearly a year. It had gradually imprinted her body with a mark unique to Xiao Yan. She had, quite literally, been molded into his shape. Now, no matter what he said, she would instinctively respond to him like a trained beast to its master.
"Damn it all…" Internally, she wanted nothing more than to tear Xiao Yan limb from limb, but her body was betraying her, nuzzling into his palm and responding with affection. This soul-deep contradiction was driving her mad. Still clinging to him, she grit her teeth and muttered, "If not for the Seven-Colored Python's influence, I would never act like this…"
"Are you sure it's because of the Python?" Xiao Yan asked with a sly smile, tapping her forehead gently. "If that's the case, I'll seal off the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's influence. Then we'll see what you do."
With that, he released a formless stream of soul power that surged into her body. Queen Medusa immediately felt something vanish—a subtle influence that had been affecting her all along. She stepped back quickly, glaring at Xiao Yan with suspicion.
"I told you—without the Seven-Colored Python, you can't control me."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yan's smile deepened. He raised his hand again, and the same pure fire energy radiated outward.
Queen Medusa's body trembled. Even without the Python's influence, her body was still—aching for that energy.
