The moment Medusa stepped out of the woods, she spotted Wang Xi and Pinocchio. She whirled around to "look" at them.
SWISH—
Wang Xi immediately looked down.
He fixed his gaze downward, focusing inward.
A little voice in his head started muttering, 'Wang Xi, oh, Wang Xi. You've navigated countless minefields before. Don't lose your cool now.'
But...
'She's so huge.'
"Whoa! She has an eye on each breast!"
Just then, Pinocchio exclaimed in surprise from beside him.
Hm?
Wang Xi was stunned.
He glanced over at Pinocchio to find the boy's face filled with wide-eyed wonder. He was staring, completely captivated, at the beautiful Snake Woman.
'Dude, how are you not affected?'
On second thought.
'Pinocchio is made of tin, so it's perfectly logical that he's immune to the Petrification Curse from making eye contact.'
'But telling me not to look while you get to hog the view all to yourself... that's just not cool, man...'
'I want to look too!'
"Gai! Gai!"
