40: Chapter 40 Medusa Returns to Human Form

After obtaining the pill, Ling Yuan couldn't wait to take it to Zi Yan to eat.

Zi Yan held the pill like a precious treasure, her eyes shining with excitement.

Her body had remained in the form of a little girl for far too long. Seeing the girls in the academy who were once similar to her grow up and develop curvaceous figures, it would be a lie to say Zi Yan wasn't envious.

Now that the source-replenishing pill might help her grow up, Zi Yan was incredibly excited.

"Keep staring, and you'll pierce the pill with your eyes. Hurry up and eat it," Ling Yuan teased her.

Zi Yan nodded firmly and swallowed the pill.

After eating it, Zi Yan looked down at her body, wishing the medicine would take effect immediately to make her taller and bigger.

The energy from the pill spread throughout Zi Yan's body, replenishing her foundation.

However, instead of growing taller, she felt her body heating up.

Zi Yan fanned herself with her hand: "Ling Yuan, I'm so hot."

Ling Yuan was also a bit confused.

Why did it feel like Zi Yan had taken something like an aphrodisiac...

That shouldn't be right. Old Chen was an old stick-in-the-mud; there was no way he would refine indecent pills like Yao Chen.

This source-replenishing pill was for replenishing one's foundation. Simply put, it was a tonic; it shouldn't have that kind of effect.

Could it be too potent?

As Ling Yuan thought this, Zi Yan stopped her attempt to loosen her clothes for air and quickly sat down cross-legged.

It was as if she had entered a cultivation state.

A brilliant purple light burst from her body, rapidly wrapping around Zi Yan, and finally formed a large purple cocoon.

This scene felt somewhat familiar to Ling Yuan.

He circled the cocoon, his soul perception penetrating the energy shell to check on her. Zi Yan's body was perfectly normal, and there was no danger to her life.

"Is she about to break through to the Dou Huang realm?"

After all, it was an Eighth Grade Pill; it was reasonable for it to help Zi Yan, a nine-star Dou Wang, break through her bottleneck.

It was just unclear whether Zi Yan would be able to grow up as she wished this time.

Therefore, Ling Yuan simply stayed by her side to cultivate and watch over her.

Five days passed, and there was no movement.

A month passed, and the light cocoon began to absorb energy from heaven and earth, but there was still no sign of a breakthrough.

Ling Yuan estimated that Zi Yan's evolution would take quite some time, so he began to have his three-star Dou Wang clone return to his source.

A month of cultivation had brought Ling Yuan significant progress. Coupled with the Dou Qi from his clone's return, he should be able to break through to the three-star Dou Zong realm.

The clone returned its Dou Qi to the main body, and its realm slowly dropped: two-star Dou Wang, one-star Dou Wang...

Meanwhile, Ling Yuan's aura steadily climbed.

Two and a half days later, when the clone's realm dropped to a seven-star Dou Practitioner, Ling Yuan finally achieved his breakthrough.

Three-star Dou Zong!

Standing up to stretch his limbs, Ling Yuan felt refreshed.

"This Myriad Body Origin-Returning Art is truly great. Doubling my cultivation speed makes leveling up a breeze. It won't be long before I leave the geniuses of the other Dou Di Clans far behind!"

Just then, there was movement in the room.

It wasn't from Zi Yan, but rather from Ling Yuan's arm.

After the little seven-colored snake crawled out, a brilliant seven-colored light erupted.

The small snake body began to grow larger, until it transformed into an incredibly alluring, delicate figure.

With an enchanting face, a cold and haughty temperament, and alluring curves, who else could it be but Medusa?

Two and a half months had passed since Medusa's successful evolution, and she had finally changed back.

Medusa's bare, delicate body pressed tightly against Ling Yuan, and her faint fragrance drifted into his nostrils.

Ling Yuan felt that after her evolution, Medusa seemed to have grown a bit more voluptuous; that was quite impressive.

His gaze shifted downward. Below her slender waist, the wild snake tail was gone, replaced by a pair of fair, long, and beautiful legs.

The kind that made one unable to resist reaching out to touch them.

And indeed, Ling Yuan acted on it. His large hand placed itself upon them; they were cool, smooth, and silky.

Both in appearance and texture, they were a top-tier work of art.

Medusa's ears turned red from Ling Yuan's bold actions. Previously, her snake tail was sensitive, but now it had become her legs.

"Stop, there's someone else..."

Medusa pushed Ling Yuan away, and Dou Qi transformed into clothing, wrapping around her delicate body.

The person she was referring to was naturally Zi Yan inside the light cocoon.

As cold and proud as she was, she could never accept being seen by a third person while being intimate.

Ling Yuan glanced at the light cocoon; Zi Yan still showed no major movement.

She wouldn't break through anytime soon, so it wouldn't interfere...

It had been a while since he touched Medusa, and now that she had finally returned to human form, Ling Yuan didn't want to let her go.

Slinging Medusa over his shoulder, Ling Yuan flashed out of Zi Yan's residence and returned to his own room.

Soon, the atmosphere in the room became heated.

Two hours later, it ended with Medusa exhausted.

It had to be said, Medusa's snake tail changing into legs was indeed quite nice.

But Ling Yuan still missed the snake tail a little.

"Can you change your snake tail back?"

"Yes."

Ling Yuan asked her to change it back so he could see. Medusa's long legs transformed back into a snake tail.

However, it was different from the previous purple snake tail; it was now a seven-colored snake tail.

It was shiny and quite beautiful.

"In the future, we can switch things up," Ling Yuan said with a wicked smile, rubbing his chin.

Even as cold as Medusa was, she felt embarrassed by Ling Yuan's words.

"By the way, that... what is the situation with the Snake-People Tribe now?"

After a while, Medusa finally remembered the Snake-People Tribe.

Ling Yuan's expression remained normal: "I have already sent people to fetch them. When they arrive, I will have them live outside the Small World, just like the other vassal tribes."

Upon hearing this, Medusa felt as if a heavy stone she had been carrying for years had finally been lifted.

After working so hard for so long, she had finally allowed her tribespeople to leave the Tagor Desert!

Although the method of effort was a bit skewed and the price was using her own body, her wish had ultimately been fulfilled.

Seeing her sigh in relief, Ling Yuan hatched a plan.

He said softly: "However, the weakest among those vassal tribes are high-level Dou Zong. With the Snake-People Tribe's current strength, if they don't have a powerful protector, their lives probably won't be easy..."

High-level Dou Zong!

Medusa's heart tightened. Even after her evolution, she was only a one-star Dou Zong.

Even as the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, it was impossible to cross so many realms to defeat a high-level Dou Zong.

"Medusa, you wouldn't want your tribespeople to be bullied, would you?" Ling Yuan continued with his typical rhetoric.

Medusa surrendered: "I... I know what to do."

...

After having fun with Medusa for half the day, Ling Yuan finally let her go.

After leaving her some cultivation resources, Ling Yuan went to find a Dou Zun underling.

As the Young Clan Leader and future Clan Leader, Ling Yuan did not lack those willing to pledge loyalty to him, so naturally, he had quite a few underlings.

Ling Yuan called the underling over to assign him a task, which thrilled him to no end.

He hurriedly promised that he would complete the task.

He was to make a trip to the Northwest Continent to bring the Snake-People Tribe over.

What he had told Medusa earlier about having already sent people was actually nonsense.

For someone who would even gaslight his own clones, tricking Medusa was perfectly normal.

Moving the Snake-People Tribe over was simply the best way to keep Medusa in check.

As long as he gave her a little benefit, he could enjoy the Queen's service; why wouldn't he do it?
