Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Medusa Phobia Syndrome
Who else but Hai Bodong?
A defeated foe, she doesn't put him in her eyes.
[Hai Bodong is out of the question. With Cai Lin's personality, she wouldn't hold a defeated foe in high regard.]
[Although having a Dou Emperor as a henchman shows I have some backing, in Cai Lin's mind, it's not as impactful as my ability to fight above my Realm.]
"You really do understand me," Medusa licked her red lips, slowly stood up, and stretched lazily.
Her captivating figure, at this moment, fully displayed the ultimate charm of a mature woman.
[Moreover, since Hai Bodong's Realm was Sealed by Cai Lin decades ago, allowing him to only display Dou Ling strength, and he's also tormented by the Snake Seal Curse, he's developed Medusa Queen Phobia Syndrome. He can't even withstand a single glance from her.]
All the women: "…"
He was a Dou Emperor decades ago, yet he was Sealed and could only display Dou Ling strength. Who wouldn't find Medusa a nightmare?
[I remember now, because of this syndrome, Hai Bodong later greatly admired Ya Fei.]
"Admire me?" Ya Fei blinked her beautiful eyes, wondering, "Why?"
Could it be that she actually had the guts to challenge Queen Medusa?
[When Xiao Yanzi and I returned to the Gama Empire from Canaan Academy, preparing to destroy the Yun Lan Sect, we happened to encounter the Yun Lan Sect trying to wipe out the Xiao Family, who were protected by the Mittel Family, and they weren't sparing the Mittel Family either.]
[Thankfully, I arrived with my people in time to save Hai Bodong and the others. Afterwards, I prepared to summon the Imperial Family, the Alchemist Guild, and other forces to form an Alliance to deal with the Yun Lan Sect.]
Yun Yun, who had secretly come near Stone Desert City, preparing to wait for an opportunity to "accidentally" meet him: "…"
This enemy's script is really solid. If Chu Xiao's Rebirth had been even a little later, she wouldn't even need to think about saving them.
[Of course, I let Sister Ya Fei arrange this matter. She habitually teases me, and I couldn't really say anything. But this attitude and my unreserved trust in Sister Ya Fei made Cai Lin, who is my wife in all but name and already has a lot of good feelings for me, jealous.]
[Sister Ya Fei is a smart person. I hadn't noticed it at the time, but she saw at a glance that Cai Lin felt differently about me, so she deliberately acted intimately with me to provoke her. As a result, Hai Bodong was scared half to death. Thinking about it now, it's really interesting.]
"Interesting, truly interesting."
"I love to see this kind of thing, write more."
Cao Ying sat in the courtyard, enthusiastically eating a melon, her beautiful small eyes filled with curiosity.
"I'm really that brave." Ya Fei even admired herself, taking out her beauty fan and gently waving it. "Then my relationship with Chu Xiao must be extremely good, and I'm confident he'll protect me."
"Could it be that Queen Medusa finally agreed to marry him, and I had a hand in it?"
Inside the Snake-People Clan's Holy City, Medusa's narrow eyes narrowed. "This Queen would be jealous?"
She wouldn't have such emotions. Faced with Ya Fei's provocation, she would only take action to eliminate her, absolutely!
[To make Cai Lin feel that I have influence, it's better to have Xun Er send Elder Ling to me as a hidden guard. A Peak Dou Emperor of the dark attribute is even more intimidating.]
[However, this feels like asking Xun Er to help me pursue Medusa.]
[My wife helping me pursue another wife? Never mind, I don't want to upset Xun Er.]
"Pursue."
In the high sky, Xun Er's lips slightly curled.
Pursuit is naturally impossible, but conquering is no problem.
It's just raising a pet snake at home, she can afford it!
"Is anyone here?"
Chu Xiao walked into the map shop and spoke loudly.
He wrote so much, partly to stir the emotions of the notebook owners and deepen his impression in the hearts of Xun Er, Medusa, and the other women.
Ya Fei, Xun Er, and Medusa were confirmed to have notebook copies, so he definitely had to pay special attention to them.
At the same time, he was also testing to see if Hai Bodong had a notebook.
The interior of the shop was not too spacious, with a moonstone embedded at each end, illuminating the shop brightly.
At this time, there was no one in the shop. Chu Xiao spoke to try and draw out Hai Bodong. While waiting, he glanced at the large pile of maps on the counter, then walked directly to a rustic wooden shelf in the corner of the shop.
This wooden shelf was covered with rotten wood holes, clearly indicating its age. The maps stacked on it were all yellowed, and many surfaces had signs of damage. Chu Xiao casually picked up a few and flipped through them, even smelling a faint musty odor.
Before long, he found one of his goals for this trip: a copied drawing, only the size of a palm, clearly incomplete, seemingly a picture cut from the middle.
"What do you want to buy?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Chu Xiao.
He turned his head and saw an old man with silver hair walking out. There was a terrifying scar on his face, from his left cheek to the corner of his eye. Although his expression was peaceful, it still gave people a very fierce feeling.
"This item." Chu Xiao directly held up the incomplete drawing in his hand. "Old sir, do you have any left?"
"You know about this incomplete drawing?" Hai Bodong's eyes narrowed, and his mood was no longer calm.
Back then, he ended up in his current predicament precisely because he tried to snatch this incomplete drawing from Medusa.
After decades of research, he was still empty-handed. On the contrary, his cultivation showed no improvement, and he was often tormented by the Seal.
If anyone knew the secret behind the incomplete drawing, he would never let them off easily.
"I know a little, but it's useless to you, Old Sir." Chu Xiao smiled. "May I ask if you can sell it to me?"
"First, tell me what secret is behind it." Hai Bodong didn't expect Chu Xiao to be so honest and took the opportunity to inquire.
"That won't do. A secret only has value if few people know it." Chu Xiao shook his head and refused.
"Then I will never sell this ancient drawing either." Hai Bodong's face hardened. "You're not welcome here. Leave the ancient drawing and leave immediately."
"Or." Hai Bodong's smile became playful. "You can also try to snatch it. At your age, you actually have Great Dou Shi cultivation. You must be a Genius from some major power. Could you be a high disciple of the Yun Lan Sect?"
"I have no connection with the Yun Lan Sect." Chu Xiao shook his head. "However, the current Sect Master, Yun Yun, wanted to accept me as a disciple on behalf of her master, Yun Shan, but I don't plan to accept."
Hai Bodong's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "Please leave. Don't make this old man say it a third time."
He felt that Chu Xiao might be delusional and didn't want to bother with him anymore.
"You really want me to leave, no matter what price I offer, you won't sell?" Chu Xiao's eyes became playful.
"You can't offer a price that would move me!" Hai Bodong gradually released a hint of chill from his body, directly representing his answer with action.
He didn't believe that Chu Xiao could offer a bargaining chip that would move him. A young Great Dou Shi only represented his talent, not his strength or ability.
As for him possibly coming from a major power, he wouldn't be here at all.
"Alright." Chu Xiao feigned putting down the ancient drawing. "I originally wanted to help you remove the curse Seal placed by Queen Medusa in your body, allowing you to recover your Dou Emperor strength. It seems it's not needed."
He could already confirm that Hai Bodong did not have a notebook copy.
"What did you say!?" Hai Bodong's aura changed abruptly, and his breathing became rapid.
Chu Xiao turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Hai Bodong flashed in front of him, a smile on his face. "You can really help me remove the Snake Seal Curse?"
"Didn't you say that I couldn't offer a price that would move you?" Chu Xiao countered with a playful look.
"Yes, why not?" Hai Bodong made a gesture of invitation. "Please come inside, distinguished guest, let's talk in detail."
Chu Xiao didn't put on airs and turned to walk into the house.
Hai Bodong waved his hand to close the shop door, then followed, his face full of anticipation.
At the same time, in the Snake-People Clan's tribe, Medusa had finished allocating resources and made arrangements, so she could safely go out for a while.
As soon as she flew into the high sky, her eyes suddenly changed, looking not far away. "Who!?"
