3: No name? Why not just call her… Caiyan!

"Ahem, saving lives and healing the wounded, it was not my intention."

"I apologize..."

Feeling as though his right hand held the entire world, Xiao Chen coughed lightly to defend himself, then used his remaining free repair.

Endless white light immediately spread out.

Under the system's repair, the Medusa Queen's injuries were recovering rapidly.

Her originally paper-white face also regained its color at this moment.

"I hope this investment isn't too much of a loss..."

Feeling Medusa's life force gradually strengthen, Xiao Chen also withdrew his right hand while murmuring to himself.

With the contract secretly established by the system, there was no need to worry about Medusa turning against him.

He could even use this life-saving grace, combined with the contract secretly built by the system, to turn this Medusa Queen into his own person!

"Mmm~"

As Xiao Chen's thoughts turned, the Medusa Queen let out a soft hum.

Her tightly closed eyes also opened at this moment.

Medusa Queen's real-life wedding dress version.

"The King... didn't I die?"

After her consciousness gradually revived, the Medusa Queen was full of confusion.

At this point, her memory was still stuck in the past.

In order to break through the shackles of the Saint Realm, allow her own bloodline to undergo atavistic evolution, and lead the Snake-People Clan out of the Endless Desert.

She did not hesitate to risk devouring a cluster of Thousand-Year Earth-Core Fire, but unexpectedly, due to a moment of carelessness, she was sneak-attacked by others.

This caused her to fail at the last moment and be swept into the turbulent flow by the impact of the strange fire.

Given her condition at the time, it was absolutely impossible for her to survive.

How could she still have sensation now, and even be completely free of injuries!

"How do you feel?"

Looking at the Medusa Queen, who had recovered from her injuries and stood up by twisting her snake tail, Xiao Chen asked with a somewhat pleasant demeanor.

He hadn't expected that after recovering, this Medusa Queen would possess an indescribable aura.

It made him feel a little nervous inside, but on the surface, he remained very composed.

Whether he could win over this Medusa Queen depended on whether he could impress her next.

"You saved me?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Medusa Queen's eyes slightly narrowed, and her gaze immediately locked onto Xiao Chen.

And when she saw Xiao Chen, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because she had always had no good feelings towards Human Race men.

But for some reason, this Human Race young man in front of her actually gave her a sense of familiarity?!

This made her feel very confused...

"You suddenly tore space and fell into my Xiao Family, severely injured and looking like you were not long for this world."

"Fortunately, I have special healing methods, which is why you were lucky enough to pick up a life."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, speaking in a calm and unhurried manner.

This casual and indifferent appearance had a bit of the air of a master.

This caused Medusa's pupils to shrink sharply, looking at Xiao Chen with surprise and uncertainty.

In her perception.

Xiao Chen only had the cultivation of the Spirit Aperture Realm, yet he could pull her back from death.

This ability, even for a strong person in the Heavenly Human Realm, was absolutely impossible unless they were proficient in the art of medicine.

But this Human Race youth in front of her did it.

Not only did he save her life, but he also healed all her injuries. What kind of heaven-defying method was this?!

As she felt shock and confusion inwardly, Xiao Chen became increasingly mysterious in her heart.

And as huge waves surged in Medusa's heart, Xiao Chen paused for a moment, then continued with his eyes flickering.

"Although your injuries have recovered, your cultivation has fallen due to the dissipation of your vital energy."

"It will likely take a considerable amount of time to recover to your previous cultivation."

"During this time, you might as well stay in the Xiao Family first..."

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.

If he could keep this Medusa Queen by his side, perhaps there would be a chance to make her his in the future.

Moreover.

His wings were not yet fully grown, and he had recently made enemies.

If he had the protection of the Medusa Queen, it would be much easier for him to solve problems.

"The Snake-People Clan and the Human Race have always been at odds. If I stay by Gongzi's side, I'm afraid I will cause trouble for Gongzi."

Medusa hesitated upon hearing this, speaking with a hint of worry in her voice.

"It's fine."

"Next, I will find a way to conceal your identity. As long as your mortal enemy doesn't appear, no one will know you are the Medusa Queen."

Xiao Chen waved his hand upon hearing this, saying somewhat indifferently.

As long as he could collect some resources and exchange them for points, he could help the Medusa Queen temporarily transform.

At that time, as long as her appearance was no different from ordinary people, and she wore a veil.

Except for her most familiar mortal enemy, who would know this was the Medusa Queen?

"In that case, I will trouble Gongzi during this time." After a moment of silence, Medusa said.

Barren State is tens of millions of miles away from the Endless Desert. To return, she must pass through the core area of the Human Race.

Her cultivation had temporarily fallen to the Nirvana Realm, and crossing the Great Qian Dynasty was extremely risky.

Therefore, staying and recuperating first, and restoring her cultivation to its peak, was the wisest course of action.

"Oh right, my name is Xiao Chen, what is your real name?"

After hearing the Medusa Queen's reply, Xiao Chen smiled slightly and casually asked.

The world only knew that the Snake-People Clan had a Medusa Queen, but few knew the real name of this Medusa.

As for the name Medusa, it was the title of the Snake-People Clan's Queen, passed down through generations within the Snake-People Clan.

So Xiao Chen was somewhat curious about the real name of this Medusa Queen.

"I... don't have a name."

Medusa was slightly startled, replying with some loss.

From the moment she was born, both her parents were dead.

Coupled with the fact that her body contained the bloodline of the ancient Sky-Devouring Python, she inherited the title of Medusa at birth.

Therefore, she didn't have a real name of her own like others.

"Uh, you don't have a name?"

Hearing Medusa's reply, Xiao Chen was a little awkward for a moment.

"How about... Cai Yan?"

"Always calling you Medusa seems a bit distant."

"Cai Yan?"

Hearing the name Xiao Chen gave her, the Medusa Queen was slightly stunned.

She didn't know why.

She wasn't repulsed by this name; on the contrary, she had a strange fondness for it?!

"Cai Yan... this name isn't bad either."

After a moment of silence, Medusa didn't refuse the name, a faint smile appearing on her cold face.

The title Medusa, for her, was more of a responsibility and ashackles.

And the name Xiao Chen gave her now.

It seemed to give her life, besides living for her clansmen, a soul of her own.

Therefore, she liked this name very much.

"Haha, as long as you don't mind."

Seeing that this Medusa, who ruled the entire Snake-People Clan and intimidated the Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Dynasties, didn't show too much cold arrogance before him.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, feeling quite pleased with himself.

It seemed this Medusa Queen had a lot of good feelings towards him.

With a little more subtle interaction in the future, maybe there's a real chance to win her over, and become a wild and reckless person like Xu Xian.

Of course, this thought couldn't be revealed; for now, he could only think about it internally.

After a pause, Xiao Chen continued.

"Next, I will arrange a side room for Cai Yan. You can recover your cultivation in the Xiao Family during this time."

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not disturb you."

"Of course..."

"If I encounter trouble that I cannot solve, I hope Cai Yan will not hesitate to lend a hand."
