Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Is this 'sharing hardships' proper?
[In Cai Lin's understanding, I don't know about the Heavenly Flame, but I...]
Chu Xiao instantly recorded what had just happened in his notebook, then summarized it.
[Fortunately, I'm smart and thought of using the Heavenly Flames' mutual antagonism as an explanation.]
[Cai Lin has never refined a Heavenly Flame, and she never will, so she'll never know I'm lying to her.]
[She absolutely can't guess that I'm a Rebirth, possessing future memories, so I know everything.]
All the girls: "..."
Medusa might not have known before, but she definitely knows now.
In front of her and us, you truly have no secrets!
[It's a pity I can't tell Cai Lin the truth, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry so much.]
[If she knew she would be my wife in the future, and we'd even have a daughter, her attitude would definitely be different.]
Seeing this, the expressions of all the girls changed slightly.
This was the second time Chu Xiao had so naturally lamented about not being able to tell the truth directly.
It showed that he valued Medusa and Xun Er greatly, and his inner desire was to tell the truth, but he was constrained by some limitation.
Considering that the notebook copies they possessed were all subject to rules, it was almost certain that Chu Xiao also had rule limitations.
Since that was the case, she couldn't expose herself in front of Chu Xiao, just as he didn't dare to expose himself in front of them.
"With this patch, they'll definitely be very touched."
He had already confirmed that Xun Er, Medusa, Ya Fei, and Qing Lin all had notebook copies. Having misled them to this extent, he certainly didn't want a bombshell to drop one day.
In the notebook, he repeatedly claimed to love them, and he indeed acted kindly towards them, but over time, some might find it strange; shouldn't the most important thing between a couple be honesty?
So now that he had applied the patch, no one would be suspicious anymore; moreover, based on his understanding of Xun Er and Qing Lin, the two girls should choose to tell him after seeing the notebook's content.
However, none of them did so; instead, they tried hard to pretend they knew nothing, and Medusa and Ya Fei also exhibited similar behavior.
He boldly guessed that the notebook copies restricted them from speaking the truth.
Since that was the case, he naturally had to guide them to guess that his not speaking was also due to limitations, and thus he could fabricate countless "notebook restrictions on him" to achieve his goals.
[For a period of time, I will use the Heavenly Flame to enhance her Bloodline every seven days until she evolves into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. With constant companionship, everything will naturally fall into place.]
[Now I can only rely entirely on my own efforts.]
All the girls: "..."
You don't have to rely entirely on your own efforts.
Now Medusa knows everything too.
"Brother Chu Xiao, don't worry, Cai Lin Jie Jie won't let you be the only one working hard."
Xun Er sat upright at the table, holding a piece of paper with a list of names at the top: Zi Yan, Han Yue, Han Xue, Cao Ying, Feng Qing'er, Mu Qingluan.
So far, the people she confirmed to have notebook copies were Little Fairy Doctor, Yun Yun, Ya Fei, Medusa, and Qing Lin.
They had one thing in common: they were all mentioned by Chu Xiao in his diary, and they were all women.
This made her wonder if there was some connection.
"Counting Qing Lin, if I find five more, I can activate the intercommunication function."
"At that time..."
A dazzling light gleamed in Xun Er's beautiful eyes.
At the same time, within Mo City.
Medusa was not "suspicious"; her expression was normal as she lightly nodded: "It's indeed closer to Stone Desert City, so I'll follow your arrangement."
"Then let's go now." Chu Xiao smiled gently at Medusa, then turned to look at Hai Bodong: "Elder Hai, do you still have matters to resolve?"
"If so, we can wait for you, or I can wait for you in Stone Desert City."
Medusa followed Chu Xiao's gaze, and although there was clearly no emotion in her eyes, it made Hai Bodong feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"I'm fine. I don't want to stay in this wretched place for another second. We can depart immediately."
Hai Bodong answered at light speed, afraid that a slow reply would displease Medusa.
"Let's go then." Chu Xiao led the way out of the house.
At this time, many people had already gathered on the street, all attracted by the commotion caused by Hai Bodong, the Black-Winged Azure Melt Serpent, and Medusa.
Chu Xiao frowned slightly, decisively summoned his Heavenly Flame to form wings, and quickly flew into the sky.
Seeing this, Medusa and Hai Bodong followed suit.
This scene caused countless exclamations, and some even recognized Medusa.
Who knows what versions of stories and legends would circulate now.
About half an hour later, the three people and one snake appeared high above Stone Desert City.
None of them were in a hurry to descend; instead, they all looked towards the north and waited.
Before long, a speck of light flew from afar, becoming clear in the blink of an eye.
Within the cyan wind-attribute Qi radiance was a woman with a voluptuous figure wrapped in a plain dress, possessing a dignified and noble temperament. Her black hair was styled into a noble Phoenix headdress, adorned with a hairpin, giving her an indescribably beautiful and captivating appearance.
"Queen Medusa!"
The noble woman took out a long sword emitting a cyan light, her eyes filled with vigilance: "Why have you left the Snake-People Tribe and come to a Human Race city?"
"Do I need to explain what this King does to you?" Medusa crossed her arms, not even bothering to give Yun Yun a glance.
This woman actually ran in front of her to put on an act; how cunning.
"You and Elder Jia once made a three-chapter agreement that experts above Dou Wang would not enter each other's territory." Yun Yun raised her long sword, her Aura rising: "Are you going to break the agreement and incite a battle between the Snake-People Clan and the Gama Empire?"
A hint of mockery appeared on Medusa's lips, and she was about to retort.
But Chu Xiao was quicker, speaking first: "Sect Master Yun Yun, Cai Lin is only here at my invitation. She has no intention of provoking conflict between the two races, so you don't need to be nervous."
"If there's truly a problem, this Ice Emperor Your Excellency beside me isn't just for show."
Hai Bodong: "?"
No, no, I am just for show!
If it's about dealing with Queen Medusa, being a display is quite good.
"Ice Emperor?" Yun Yun turned to look at Hai Bodong, a perfectly timed look of surprise appearing on her face: "The Ice Emperor has been without news for decades; the outside world speculated he had fallen, but I didn't expect him to still be alive."
"You little girl, you don't know how to speak." Seeing Medusa's displeasure with Yun Yun, Hai Bodong showed his displeasure. After sizing Yun Yun up and down, a hint of scrutiny appeared in his eyes: "I heard your name when I was in seclusion. You are that old fellow Yun Shan's Disciple, the Ninth Generation Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect."
"To be able to cultivate you, Yun Shan can be considered to have a successor. Is he still alive?"
"He didn't die before me, did he?"
"My master is in secluded cultivation within the Sect." Yun Yun did not deliberately conceal it, replying: "More than ten years ago, my master fought a Dou Huang from the Chuyun Empire. Although he killed the opponent, he was also poisoned by the opponent and had to go into seclusion to Breakthrough to Dou Zong to remove it."
This matter was not a secret back then. As the Grand Elder of the Mittel Family, Hai Bodong only needed to ask to know.
"Secluded cultivation?" Hai Bodong felt that Yun Shan must have already fallen, but Yun Yun, or rather the Yun Lan Sect, was unwilling to believe it. He said indifferently: "Don't end up dying before me."
These words were a bit harsh, but Yun Yun chose to pretend not to hear them, turning to look at Chu Xiao: "Young friend, why are you looking for Queen Medusa?"
"Does it concern you?" Medusa's delicate brows furrowed, and her Peak Dou Huang Aura was released: "Aren't you afraid of hearing it but not living to tell the tale?"
Yun Yun: "..."
Didn't Xun Er say Medusa was one of us?
[I met little Yun, and Cai Lin seems very displeased with her. I don't understand this scene.]
[In the original trajectory, their relationship was clearly quite good. Is it because they haven't fought against me together yet?]
All the girls: "???"
Is this 'fighting against you together' proper?
