Chapter 182: Medusa: I Am the Main Wife!
In the sealed chamber, dazzling seven colored light clashed fiercely with the majestic purple gold glow of dragon energy. The two forces intertwined, merging and coalescing into a radiant cocoon, their energies blending as one.
With a soft crack, the cocoon trembled and fractured, revealing Lu Bu and Medusa within its shimmering layers.
"You're awake?" Lu Bu gently called out as he held the flawless, smooth figure in his arms. "How do you feel? How much progress have you made?"
The dual cultivation experience had been quite extraordinary. Lu Bu himself had advanced to the peak of the Dou King realm, using the energy gained during their cultivation to refine and advance his Azure Sky Dragon Art, which showed significant progress.
Hearing his words, Medusa's cheeks flushed faintly, but she took a deep breath and answered in a soft voice, "I'm now an eight star Dou Zong."
Lu Bu's eyes widened in shock. Five entire star levels in one go? He suddenly realized the sheer impact of their session. Forget the Eight Colored Origin Stone, he was clearly the real factor at play here!
"What? Eight star Dou Zong?" Lu Bu gasped, suppressing the urge to pat himself on the back.
Seeing his mix of astonishment and smugness, Medusa felt both amused and exasperated. This man really knew how to stroke his own ego.
She leaned closer, her delicate fingers pinching Lu Bu's ear as she laughed softly. "Lu Bu, let's talk about something serious. I don't care about your relationship with Yun Yun since I came later. But let me make one thing clear you're not bringing any more women into the family, got it?"
Though her tone was gentle and soft, it carried an undeniable undertone of threat.
It was indeed a warning. With her current strength as an eight star Dou Zong, even Yun Shan, the Yunlan Sect's leader, wouldn't dare to cross her. Let alone Yun Yun or even Lu Bu himself.
Her fingertips brushed across Lu Bu's cheek as she smiled faintly, her expression brimming with confidence. Such a small man.
"…"
Lu Bu's expression darkened as he stared at the self proclaimed "main wife." Clearly, it was time to put her in her place and remind her who the true head of the household was.
"Hmm…" Lu Bu nodded slightly, as if agreeing. "The Queen is right. With you by my side, I shouldn't be messing around anymore."
Medusa's eyes softened, filled with satisfaction. This is my man powerful, talented in alchemy, young and promising, yet still responsible and considerate. At that moment, she felt that no words could truly capture how exceptional her man was.
Perhaps… I should reward him. Thoughts of dual cultivation crossed her mind again.
"Mmm~"
But before she could act on those thoughts, Lu Bu's tone abruptly shifted. "However… it seems the family already has too many people."
"What?" Medusa's thoughts instantly snapped back to reality.
"Besides Yun Yun, there's also someone else… a confidante of mine named Xiao Yi Xian," Lu Bu explained, a wistful expression crossing his face as he thought of her. He couldn't help but wonder how her Woeful Poison Body was doing and hoped she could soon acquire the magical core of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast to stabilize her condition.
"What?!" Medusa's long, slitted eyes narrowed dangerously.
Before she could explode, Lu Bu tightened his hold around her slender waist, pulling her closer as he gently began explaining Xiao Yi Xian's circumstances.
The more Medusa listened, the graver her expression became. "The Woeful Poison Body?"
As a serpent woman skilled in poisons, Medusa was no stranger to such a legendary constitution. In fact, the Serpent Race had a queen in their history who possessed the Woeful Poison Body. That queen was both revered and feared, a figure who had saved the race in their darkest times but also brought devastation whenever her poison ran out of control.
A few years ago, Medusa herself had considered becoming a poison body to break through her bottleneck, but she had ultimately chosen to evolve through a Heavenly Flame instead. After all, a poison body's potential was limited, and she didn't want to be confined by it.
"Fine. Then Xiao Yi Xian can be included. Three people Yun Yun, me, and her. That's the limit!" Medusa snorted coldly. "The household won't tolerate any more!"
"That won't work. There's still one more."
"One more?!" Medusa's eyes widened in anger. She grabbed Lu Bu by the ear, dragging his face close as she glared at him. "Who else?"
"You're forgetting someone Qing Lin," Lu Bu said with a chuckle.
Medusa froze, her rage momentarily extinguished. Unlike Xiao Yi Xian, she had a good impression of Qing Lin, recognizing her immense talent and the incredible potential of her Triple Jade Green Snake Flower Pupils. Medusa had even considered taking Qing Lin as her disciple, though she ultimately refrained due to her lack of expertise in such rare powers.
"… Fine. Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, and me. Four in total," Medusa muttered reluctantly. Then, her tone turned icy. "But if you bring in anyone else, I'll castrate you!"
Lu Bu grinned, entirely unfazed by her threat. "You'll be disappointed. There's still one more."
"Who?!" Medusa's temper flared again. She couldn't believe someone else dared encroach on her territory.
"Zi Yan," Lu Bu said casually.
"Bastard!" Medusa's fury erupted. She grabbed Lu Bu's face, her fingers digging into his cheeks. "Zi Yan is still a child, and you're shameless enough to think of her that way?!"
"Correction. She's older than you," Lu Bu deadpanned. "And more importantly, she's the one who keeps pestering me!"
Medusa froze again, her mind spinning. She wasn't sure how to handle this revelation.
Suddenly, as she tallied everything in her head, she realized the brutal truth there were four others in the family besides her, and all of them had come before her.
She had believed herself to be the main wife, the true queen of the household. But reality showed her that she was, in fact, the last to arrive.
"Damn it!" Medusa growled, slamming a palm against Lu Bu's shoulder. Her body shimmered with the energy of an eight star Dou Zong, and she resolved to reclaim her place by force.
"Ha! A mere snake queen dares act out of line?" Lu Bu smirked, his body surging with golden energy. "Let me show you what it means to assert dominance as the man of the house!"
"Nirvana Golden Body, activate!"
