Chapter 325: Medusa's Dilemma
Seeing Xiao Ming taking advantage of her and still daring to act brazenly, Medusa let out a cold snort.
With a flick of her delicate hand, a dazzling seven-colored light rose up and transformed into a red dress that covered her naked body, concealing all traces of her exposed flesh. She gracefully brushed away a strand of red hair that had fallen on her forehead and asked in a calm tone,
"Where are we?"
"Where else could it be? It's naturally in Central Plains, just not in Pill Tower," Xiao Ming replied softly, his eyes fixed on the red dress that had just appeared. It seemed that Medusa was now able to materialize energy, and had regained some of her strength.
Medusa's beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Ming, and as if seeing through his thoughts, she raised the corners of her rosy lips into a shallow arc and said,
"What? Afraid that I will regain my strength and escape with your little pet?".
"You don't need to test me with your words. If I really want to keep you here, do you think you can escape?"
Xiao Ming picked up the cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
Medusa knew very well that Xiao Ming had the strength to keep her here, so she got off the table and sat across from Xiao Ming.
"Don't you care about that little one anymore?" she asked.
"Of course, I care. That's why I gave you a suggestion. Have you considered it?" Xiao Ming replied.
"Your foolish idea is for me to have a child. Even if I consider it, can you guarantee that I will be able to have one on my own? Or do you want me to be like your little partner, attached to you until death do us part?"
Medusa was already resistant to Xiao Ming's suggestion, and when she heard his words, she didn't get angry, but instead looked meaningfully at the bed covered by curtains, implying something.
"Can't you have a child on your own?" Xiao Ming tentatively asked.
He remembered that in his previous life, not only was there a novel of "Battle Through the Heavens," but also a Manhua. Medusa's child was born from a combination with a person in the novel, whereas Medusa gave birth alone in the Manhua.
Although the Manhua version was slightly absurd, given that "Battle Through the Heavens" was set in a fantasy world, such absurdities were expected. Who knows, Medusa might be able to give birth on her own.
"Give birth on my own? What do you think I look like? Why don't you have a child on your own and show me?" Queen Medusa, who had just calmed down, blushed with embarrassment and responded angrily.
"Really can't?" Xiao Ming asked skeptically.
"No!"
If it were possible, Medusa would not be so conflicted.
"This is a bit difficult!" Xiao Ming was at a loss now. Although he greatly appreciated Medusa's figure, having a child with her was a bit of a dilemma.
Because having a child required him to take on responsibility. He couldn't just abandon his own blood, but he had no intention of getting married right now. Even if he were to marry, he would first marry Xiao Yi Xian and the other girls.
If someone else were to do this, aside from whether Xiao Ming agreed or not, Medusa would definitely not agree.
He was, however, hesitant to let the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python disappear. He had grown attached to it, or he would not have gone to the trouble of feeding it constantly.
'Wait, I remember that in the simulation, Medusa eventually agreed to this. Could this be...?' Xiao Ming fell into contemplation.
On the other side, Medusa also felt a bit awkward.
She had begged Xiao Ming to lend her the Heavenly Flame, endured the Heavenly Flame's scorching and the impact of the Lightning Tribulation, and finally become a Dou Ancestor. Wasn't it all for the sake of her tribe's safety?
But now she found herself in this strange situation, brought to the Central Plains by Xiao Ming and feeling lonely, unable to return to her tribe because she couldn't control her body for long.
As if that wasn't enough, she'd felt her soul merge with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python over the previous six months. She had been influenced subtly, such as by a growing attachment to Xiao Ming.
Although she wasn't happy when he touched her, she noticed that her body had already gotten used to it!
Despite the fact that the sensation was fleeting, she was acutely aware of it.
Medusa was afraid that if she continued down this path, she would lose herself and become completely submissive to Xiao Ming.
She imagined a future where, with a wave of his hand, she would automatically place her head to let him touch her, and the thought made her shudder.
She would never allow such a scene to occur!
The only way to prevent this from happening was to not merge with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python or to escape from Xiao Ming's side, although escaping from Xiao Ming's side might not necessarily be effective.
"When are you going back to the North-Western Region?" Medusa asked, breaking the silence that had settled between them.
"Maybe in a few years," replied Xiao Ming absentmindedly as he pondered his thoughts.
Medusa's heart sank. A few years? That seemed like an eternity!
There seemed to be no way out. With her current state, she might encounter unexpected situations if she left rashly. In a sense, Xiao Ming was treating her quite well.
The only way to keep her consciousness was to not merge with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
But that meant she still needed to have a child.
'Having a child requires a male partner...a male...' Medusa cast a glance at Xiao Ming, who was deep in thought.
She had to admit that when it came to males, he was the best around her, first-rate in terms of strength, appearance, and other qualities... and, apparently, he appeared to be her only option.
Leaving aside the fact that Xiao Cai would not accept anyone else, Medusa could not imagine herself with anyone else.
She was a very proud woman, and the only person who had ever seen her naked was him.
But then, was she really going to make a child with him?
As Medusa was considering this, she suddenly felt a wave of joy coming from the depths of her soul.
'Just thinking about Xiao Ming makes you influence me. What makes you so happy? You have no idea what pregnancy is.'
Medusa felt somewhat helpless. It was precisely because of this that she was considering having a child. It's better to get it over with than suffer in the long run. She didn't want to come to regret it later.
But was it really that bad?
He had been treating her well, and she had grown to trust him. Maybe having a child with him isn't such a bad idea after all...
"Xiao Ming." Suddenly, a tender voice was heard from the bed behind the curtain.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of the bed curtains, Xiao Yi Xian, now dressed in alluring inner clothes, lifted the curtains and revealed herself.
Due to the intense intimacy she had shared with Xiao Ming moments before, Xiao Yi Xian's jade-white skin was flushed with a reddish tint, enhancing her already exquisite look. Medusa couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy in her golden eyes as she noticed this.
'Medusa...' Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly as she approached Xiao Ming's side, looking at the stunningly beautiful Medusa across from him.
Xiao Ming came to his senses and hugged her in a warm spoon hug.
"What are you two discussing?" Xiao Yi Xian asked curiously, snuggling into Xiao Ming's body.
"We're discussing..." Xiao Ming began, but Queen Medusa interrupted, her tone strangely confrontational.
"We were talking about having a child with your partner. You're not going to be angry, are you?" She said this while staring at Xiao Yi Xian.
For a brief moment, Xiao Yi Xian was taken aback, but she then responded with a smile.
"Why would I be? Whatever Xiao Ming does, I will stand by him. Having multiple partners is not uncommon, so I have no objection."
Her smile faded as she continued, "But I have to make it clear that, as long as Xiao Ming has not stated otherwise, I am his primary partner. If you want to marry him, you can only become a minor wife." As she said this, Xiao Yi Xian's face grew imposing.
"Ahem, let's not get into that. She's not going to marry me." Xiao Ming explained the situation to Xiao Yi Xian while caressing her thighs.
