The light sphere inside Ya Fei's body was called the Frozen Spirit Body Origin pill. Xiao Tian had obtained it from the storage ring of the Holy Radiance Heavenly Saint, along with nearly a hundred similar pills. The Holy Radiance Heavenly Saint had been obsessed with extraordinary physiques and had nearly turned the entire Dou Qi Continent upside down in his search for them.
"Didn't I ask you before if you wanted to cultivate? I can change your cultivation talent," Xiao Tian said gently. "The light sphere within your body was placed there by me. Practice this cultivation technique, then absorb the origin. You will then possess the special physique known as the Frozen Spirit Body. At that time, your cultivation talent will rank among the top on the continent."
A white scroll appeared in Xiao Tian's hand — it was the Profound Ice Art, which he had obtained together with the origin.
The Profound Ice Art emphasized the power of ice. The Dou Qi cultivated by its practitioner contained hidden, forceful energy within. It also came with two matching Dou Techniques: Ice Seals Heaven and Earth and Cold Star Fall.
Ya Fei excitedly threw herself into Xiao Tian's embrace and planted a heavy kiss on his lips, their bodies pressing closely together.
Xiao Tian gently pushed her away. "First, focus on practicing this technique to refine the origin. If too much time passes, the origin might dissipate."
Ya Fei nodded heavily. She picked up the white scroll and began studying it with full concentration.
Two hours later, Ya Fei successfully switched her cultivation technique and refined the physique origin, awakening the Frozen Spirit Body.
"I succeeded!"
Ya Fei stood up excitedly and ran over to Xiao Tian, who was draped in an outer robe.
"That's good. Activate your physique and see if there are any issues," Xiao Tian said.
Ya Fei directly circulated the technique. Her entire aura and appearance instantly transformed, becoming pure, cold, and noble.
The shift from her usual enchanting allure to this pure, cold nobility — and then back again — made Xiao Tian's eyes light up. These two vastly different temperaments perfectly matched his preferences.
"There's no problem with my body. I even feel full of vitality. I can finally cultivate again. Thank you, Xiao Tian," Ya Fei said happily.
She jumped into Xiao Tian's arms, her whole body trembling with joy and an irrepressible, brilliant smile on her face.
But in her current state…
"Now that your problem is solved, it's time to deal with mine," Xiao Tian whispered. He brought his lips close to Ya Fei's ear and spoke a few sentences in a low voice.
After hearing them, Ya Fei fiercely glared at him, then nodded with a crimson face.
"Where do you get so many ways to torment people?"
…
The next day, after seeing Ya Fei off, Xiao Tian proceeded with his daily cultivation. Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had still not emerged from their seclusion.
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python crawled out from his sleeve, startling Xiao Tian. Its serpentine pupils were full of displeasure, clearly resentful at being ignored the day before yesterday and yesterday.
"Little one, it was my fault before. This is your compensation. You can have it all."
To appease the little creature's indignation, Xiao Tian directly took out one of his few remaining Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
Seeing her favorite treat, the little python's anger instantly vanished. Her tail wagged rapidly, her small head nodding up and down eagerly, her eyes filled with pleading and longing.
"Little one, are you still angry?"
Xiao Tian pinched the Earth Fire Lotus Seed between his fingers. Upon hearing his words, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python hurriedly shook her body from side to side, but her eyes remained fixed on the seed.
"Alright, alright, this is yours."
Xiao Tian placed the Earth Fire Lotus Seed in front of her. The little python first licked Xiao Tian's finger with her forked tongue, then swallowed the entire seed in one gulp.
After eating the lotus seed, the little creature's expression became dazed and satisfied, as if drunk.
She then coiled up on Xiao Tian's palm to digest the rich energy within.
Xiao Tian shook his head with a smile and continued his cultivation.
Just as Xiao Tian was deep in meditation, he suddenly felt a very soft object appear in his embrace. His hand touched it — the sensation was akin to a woman's delicate body.
Xiao Tian remembered something and hurriedly opened his eyes. In his arms lay a woman who was completely 'unadorned by a single leaf.'
One of his hands was positioned right on…
Lowering his gaze, what met his eyes was a face of calamitous beauty — perfect, utterly enchanting, noble, and alluring. This face alone was enough to topple nations.
Xiao Tian stared at the beautiful snake-woman with closed eyes in his arms, his eyes widening in shock. He was unable to regain his senses for a long time.
"Q-Queen Medusa…"
How did she come out? Could it be that the previous Earth Fire Lotus Seed, combined with the many fire-attribute medicinal herbs he had fed her over this period and the accompanying Purple Crystal Source, had caused the little creature's soul to fall into a deep slumber, allowing Medusa's soul to take over?
Xiao Tian thought to withdraw his hand, but before he could move, a pair of narrow, bewitching eyes — filled with killing intent — snapped open and fixed on him.
"Hello there!"
Facing those icy eyes, Xiao Tian greeted her calmly.
"Does it feel good? Aren't you going to remove your filthy paw? Do you believe I won't kill you right now?" Medusa's beautiful face was filled with killing intent as she spoke coldly.
Xiao Tian's gaze was profound, as if he could see through her heart. He examined Medusa fearlessly, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Kill me? I'd like to see how you plan to do that."
Xiao Tian used his other hand to gently pinch her snow-white chin and responded calmly.
When dealing with someone like Medusa, one could not show weakness. He had to be even more forceful than her.
Medusa felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. She had almost forgotten that the man before her possessed a secret method to reach the high-level Dou Zong realm. Yet her cold and proud nature would never allow her to show fear.
"I'll kill you right now."
Medusa shook off Xiao Tian's hand from her chin, her face full of fury, her eyes like sharp daggers.
Xiao Tian did not retreat. The hand that had been shaken off moved slightly as he prepared to activate the Heaven Devouring Cauldron. Although he was betting that the little python's soul would interfere, he still had to prepare for the worst.
Joking aside, a person only has one life.
"Are you sure you can kill me?" Xiao Tian said boldly. "As far as I know, Queen Medusa is known for her loyalty to her husband. Now that I have already taken your virginity, do you really want to kill your own husband?"
Medusa's face flushed with rage. "Don't mention that!"
Xiao Tian grew even bolder. He pushed Medusa down onto the bed and began kissing her fiercely.
Medusa wanted to resist, but her body had already started to lose control. She stopped resisting the kiss and instead bit Xiao Tian's neck.
"You better think carefully," Xiao Tian said as he kissed the spot he had just bitten, leaving a faint mark. "If you fail to kill me, you might be the one to die, and your tribe might also suffer disaster. Queen Medusa, you wouldn't want your entire tribe to perish, would you? And remember this mark — you are already mine. Don't even think about running away from me."
Xiao Tian looked at Medusa's enchantingly seductive face with a smile, then suddenly lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers. They stared into each other's eyes, so close that they could smell each other's scent.
Medusa, who had been single her entire life, had never experienced such an intimate scene. Her face involuntarily flushed, and her eyes couldn't help but dart around. Yet she still tried to maintain her usual cold and proud expression.
Truly worthy of the proud and tsundere Queen Medusa, who insisted on being strong all her life. Xiao Tian struggled to hold back his laughter.
Seeing Xiao Tian's expression, Medusa became so angry that her eyes turned icy. She gritted her silver teeth and began gathering Dou Qi in her palm. But the moment the Dou Qi started to coalesce, her body suddenly trembled, and the gathered energy instantly dissipated.
"Damn it! What trick did you play on the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?"
Now, she couldn't take action against Xiao Tian at all. The moment she had the thought, her entire body felt restricted.
"I didn't play any tricks on you or the little one. You know the reason yourself," Xiao Tian said nonchalantly. However, as he spoke, his hand unconsciously moved slightly — because he had never let go of it in the first place.
