"Hiss~" Xiao Tian had not expected Medusa to grab his vital spot while Han Xue was present.
Caught off guard, Xiao Tian's body trembled slightly, and he gasped, sucking in a breath of cold air.
His hand, which had been easing Han Xue's pain, suddenly tightened, making Han Xue's body even more rigid.
She widened her eyes, burying her face deeper, and a tiny hint of excitement even flickered within her, as if some hidden talent had been awakened.
Seeing Xiao Tian's reaction, Medusa covered her mouth and chuckled, releasing her hand.
She playfully winked at Xiao Tian, a challenging gleam in her eyes. "I will not disturb you two. I need to go see how the Snake-People Tribe is integrating into the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace."
Medusa's three most important life events were cultivation, being tsundere, and teasing Xiao Tian before running away.
However, most of the times she teased Xiao Tian, she ended up getting caught and thoroughly beaten several times, eventually having to beg tearfully.
But by the time the sun rose, she would forget, remaining her old self.
She was slightly better than some who forget when the sun rises; she could firmly admit her mistakes, but she was utterly unrepentant.
After Medusa finished speaking, she activated Void Piercer Art and walked outside.
When the Snake-People Tribe first began integrating into the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace, she had personally slain several defiant tribesmen to make an example of them.
This also demonstrated her resolve: the integration of the Snake-People Tribe into the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace was mandatory, and they would not receive any special privileges just because she was the Palace Master's wife.
Most of the Snake-People Tribe had no objections to integrating into the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace; the cultivation and living environment here was dozens of times better than their previous desert, and the people in the Primordial Heaven Realm had not shown any resistance towards them.
Xiao Tian called out to Medusa's retreating figure, "Come to my place tonight. I have something good for you."
Queen Medusa heard Xiao Tian's words, stumbled a step, and her face involuntarily flushed with a hint of red.
He had tricked her like this last time, leaving her looking utterly disheveled.
She turned around and glared fiercely at Xiao Tian, her face clearly saying, *Do not even think about tricking me.* "You think I will go just because you tell me to? Does this King not have any dignity? Do not even think about tricking me again; I will not go no matter what you say, hmph."
Xiao Tian knew at a glance that Medusa had been traumatized by his previous tricks. "It is really something good, something very important to you. You will know when you come over tonight."
"Hmph!!"
Medusa ignored Xiao Tian, gave a light snort, and then, without another word, turned and left.
She had been in seclusion for so long; she did miss Xiao Tian quite a bit.
But with someone else present earlier, she was a Queen; how could she act like such a little woman in front of others?
"Hmph!" She quickly departed.
Xiao Tian watched Medusa's graceful retreating figure and chuckled softly.
No refusal meant agreement; sometimes, there was no need to be too explicit.
Women, after all, were generally a bit thin-skinned.
Others might see Medusa as decisive and resolute, but when it came to love, she was a complete novice, scoring full marks in theory but zero in practice.
"I am still an innocent maiden. Is it really appropriate for you two to flirt like this in front of me?" Seeing Medusa leave, with only herself and Xiao Tian remaining, Han Xue bravely suppressed her shyness, rested her head on Xiao Tian's shoulder, and said bashfully.
"There is no such thing. I was just giving her something, that is all."
"I am not talking about that. It is… it is… I know about those little gestures between you and Sister Cai Li…" Han Xue stammered, her voice growing softer and softer at the end.
She knew perfectly well, and she had even clearly felt it, all because Medusa had intentionally adjusted her position earlier to make her feel it more distinctly.
She was not some naive girl who understood nothing; this young lady had read the Spring and Autumn Annals, so she naturally knew everything clearly.
"You two are truly too wicked!!" After saying that, she got off Xiao Tian, then covered her face and hurried towards Han Yue's palace.
Xiao Tian watched Han Xue leave, rubbing his nose.
He was its master, of course he knew.
Regarding Han Xue's words, Xiao Tian smiled. "Later, you will find out there is even worse."
Xiao Tian stopped thinking and opened his system panel to look.

These were the results of Xiao Tian's cultivation over the past half-month.
With his current strength, coupled with the Thunder God Body, he could almost traverse the Central Plains unopposed.
He just did not know if he could contend with a Half-Saint now.
Xiao Tian had dripped one drop of the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's essence blood onto the egg formed by the little fellow, and it had been successfully absorbed.
He imagined that upon its birth, it would become a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.
Xiao Tian thought mischievously: *If the ancestors of the Sky Swallowing Python clan knew about the appearance of two Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Pythons, would they jump up and thank me for helping their Sky Swallowing Python clan revive?*
With his current Spirit Realm High-level soul power, he wondered if he could refine pills with eight-colored or higher Pill Lightning.
Only pills refined with eight-colored Pill Lightning could be called high-grade eighth-tier, while nine-colored would be peak eighth-tier.
The three giants of the Pill Tower were openly all peak eighth-tier Alchemists, but whether that was truly the case was unknown, as the three Pill Tower giants rarely refined pills.
The main reason was that the higher the grade of the pill, the scarcer the medicinal ingredients, and just collecting the ingredients took a lot of time.
Xiao Tian was itching to try refining a pill with eight-colored Pill Lightning.
Among pills with eight-colored or nine-colored Pill Lightning, a representative pill was the Bodhi Pill.
Although he had Bodhi Seeds, he had not yet gathered the other medicinal ingredients.
And the pills with eight-colored Pill Lightning or higher in the Pill Manual also lacked the necessary refining ingredients.
Xiao Tian thought it was time to visit the Pill Domain and, while he was at it, test his Alchemist rank.
After all, an Alchemist's status was useful everywhere on the Dou Qi Continent.
He glanced at the peach tree beside him.
During this time, Xiao Tian had not stinted on watering it with various medicinal liquids.
At this moment, the peach tree was not only twice as large as before but also bore many flowers.
Han Yue and the others collected the petals and other things every day.
No longer dwelling on it, Xiao Tian walked into his palace, preparing to cultivate inside and wait for the big white snake to deliver herself.

Late at night, when all was quiet.
A woman in a red robe swiftly glided across the night sky, heading towards the largest palace in the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace.
The figure murmured, "If he tricks this King again, this King will definitely be angry, and I will never forgive him."
Under the moonlight, the person was indeed Medusa.
Though her mouth spoke of anger, her face was beaming with a smile, even showing a hint of anticipation.
The Little Fairy Doctor, who was cultivating in the palace, slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing the stealthy figure, she could not help but chuckle.
She had heard Han Xue mention what happened under the peach tree earlier that evening.
She had no intention of joining the fray tonight; Medusa had just come out of seclusion, so she would let her have some private time.
Xiao Tian leaned back on the bed, Medusa's every move falling into his eyes, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
Medusa, who was moving, suddenly felt her body become uncontrollable, and then a slight pulling force drew her into the space before her.
