"Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!"
Looking at the small purple serpent shimmering with seven-colored light, She Lao's shocked voice echoed in Mo Yu's heart.
As a rare ancient bloodline holder of the Seven-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent, She Lao had always believed that he represented the pinnacle of the Serpent Tribe's achievements over the past millennia. However, today, he was witnessing a being with an even nobler lineage—none other than the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
"If it can evolve into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, it must have the purest Medusa bloodline. I wonder if it could be a descendant of my sister."
"Mo Yu, bring it closer and let me examine it. Don't worry. With my aura present, this Medusa won't harm you," She Lao's raspy, trembling voice whispered in Mo Yu's ear.
"Got it." Mo Yu responded in his heart, then raised his head and smiled at Xiao Yan. "May I hold it?"
Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment before hesitating. "Cousin, this is the Queen Medusa from the Tagore Desert. For some reason, she seems to be undergoing a kind of evolution. It's highly dangerous—be careful."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." With She Lao's assurance, Mo Yu wasn't afraid the Queen Medusa would harm him.
Although the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's bloodline was superior to the Seven-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent, this serpent was still in its juvenile form, far from the power of She Lao's mature state.
Seeing Mo Yu's confidence, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended his arm toward him, cautiously watching the dangerous little serpent to prevent any sudden attack.
Noticing Xiao Yan's careful demeanor, Mo Yu smiled. Under She Lao's guidance, he gently took the coiled, seven-colored serpent from Xiao Yan's arm.
To Xiao Yan's surprise, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python didn't resist Mo Yu's gentle touch. Instead, it gave him a cautious glance before winding itself around his wrist. It swayed its body back and forth like it was swinging on a vine.
"This is the famous Queen Medusa? It seems she hasn't fully mastered her body yet," Mo Yu murmured thoughtfully as he studied the small serpent.
Who would have thought that this little serpent would one day transform into a stunningly beautiful woman, one whose enchanting charm would captivate all of Dou Qi Continent with no rival in sight?
With its purple eyes, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python stared at the handsome youth before it, a glimmer of longing flashing in its gaze. Rising slightly, it continued to gaze intently at Mo Yu.
Evidently, the familiar aura of She Lao's ancient bloodline evoked a profound sense of kinship in the young serpent.
Seeing the serpent's strange behavior, Mo Yu's heart softened. Even in this small form, the serpent was so endearing—it was no wonder she would one day become a queen worshipped by many.
Gently stroking the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Mo Yu paused in thought. With a flick of his finger on his storage ring, a bottle of Accompanying Purple Crystal Essence appeared in his palm. Using a small jade stick, he dabbed a few drops of the source and waved it in front of the serpent.
As soon as the Purple Crystal Essence appeared, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's eyes lit up with excitement, and the feeling of intimacy toward Mo Yu grew even stronger. Flicking its tongue toward him, the serpent appeared to be begging for the treat.
Seeing the item in Mo Yu's hand, Xiao Yan's dark eyes widened in shock. Even he was taken aback by the terrifying fire-attributed energy contained within the Accompanying Purple Crystal Essence.
The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, having been reborn through a heavenly flame, naturally had a great fondness for anything with fire-attributed energy.
"Oh…"
Observing the serpent's reaction, Mo Yu realized that the mature and proud soul within the serpent had yet to awaken. For now, he continued to stroke it gently.
When he let the Purple Crystal Essence drip into the serpent's mouth, it licked its lips contentedly. Moments later, the serpent coiled its tail around Mo Yu's wrist and slipped into his sleeve, falling into a peaceful sleep.
Seeing this, Mo Yu was stunned. He glanced at Xiao Yan with a look of disbelief. His original intention had been to fulfill She Lao's wish by taking a look at the famous Queen Medusa—he hadn't expected her to curl up inside his sleeve and refuse to leave.
"Xiao Yan, this..." For the first time, Mo Yu felt awkward as he faced his cousin.
The situation made him feel like a kidnapper who had lured the seven-colored serpent away from Xiao Yan's arm.
Xiao Yan, equally stunned, gave a helpless sigh.
This powerful serpent, originating from the Queen Medusa's bloodline, wasn't something he could control. Now that she had chosen to stay with Mo Yu, there wasn't much he could do.
If he provoked her and awakened the Queen Medusa's dormant soul, he wouldn't stand a chance—especially with Yao Lao still in a deep sleep. As a mere Dou Shi, even his life would be at risk.
Seeing Mo Yu's innocent expression, Xiao Yan knew his cousin hadn't intended for this to happen. After all, the Queen Medusa's soul—proud and cold—was not something anyone could win over by mere accident.
If he had to explain it, it could only be fate that connected Mo Yu with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
"Well… Mo Yu, I know this isn't your fault," Xiao Yan said with a bitter smile. "The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is the evolutionary form of the Queen Medusa. For now, her soul is dormant, but keeping her with me is like carrying a time bomb."
"If she's truly fated to be with you, then I'll leave her in your care."
Although Xiao Yan was reluctant to part with a magical beast as valuable as this one, he knew that the serpent had never accepted him as its master and harbored ill will toward him.
If he could get rid of this ticking time bomb, Xiao Yan would feel a mixture of pain and relief.
After all, carrying a terrifying creature that could take his life at any moment was far from reassuring.
Mo Yu paused in his steps, his expression shifting slightly as a seductive voice echoed in his mind, dripping with both charm and malice:
"You dare think of me as some bargaining chip to exchange freely? Tell me now—what is the origin of the aura clinging to your body, or I'll kill you without hesitation!"
The cold sensation spread across Mo Yu's sleeve as if a venomous serpent was coiling around his arm, causing his body to tense involuntarily. A chill crept over him, rendering him momentarily breathless.
There was no mistaking it—the source of the voice was none other than Queen Medusa, the proud and dangerous monarch who had taken refuge within the body of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
Mo Yu's heart raced, his hand instinctively tightening into a fist within the sleeve, trying to suppress the panic surging through his chest. She had awakened.
Earlier, Mo Yu had thought acquiring the serpent from Xiao Yan was an unexpected windfall, but now it seemed like a ticking time bomb—one far more perilous than he had initially assumed. Medusa's revival meant trouble, and her malice was palpable, making it abundantly clear she would not tolerate being treated lightly.
Yet Mo Yu wasn't someone easily cowed. Taking a steadying breath, he slowly unclenched his fist and responded calmly in his mind:
"Your Majesty, I had no intention of belittling you. The young man who previously possessed your form passed you to me, knowing I would treat you with respect."
There was a brief silence, then the queen's sultry voice rang out again, laced with both suspicion and amusement:
"Respect? Hmph. Do not assume flattery will earn my favor. You reek of a peculiar power... strange yet familiar. I demand to know—where does it come from?"
Mo Yu furrowed his brows. Medusa's acute perception was sharper than he had anticipated. Despite her soul being weakened and bound within the body of the python, she could still sense the aura of Dou Qi mixed with the faint residue of his own cultivation techniques, likely remnants from his unique journey across realms.
However, revealing too much would be dangerous. Medusa was not someone easily controlled, and her hostility was already evident. He needed to tread carefully.
"It is but a remnant aura from an encounter I survived. Nothing that concerns your Majesty," Mo Yu replied with deliberate vagueness. "But as your current host, I suggest we put our differences aside. After all, wouldn't it benefit you to recover your strength while I ensure your safety?"
Medusa gave a low, amused chuckle that reverberated through Mo Yu's mind.
"You are an interesting one... but do not think for a moment that I am your pawn. If you dare attempt to manipulate me, I will kill you the moment I regain my full strength."
The pressure in his mind gradually eased, the cold sensation along his arm receding. For now, Medusa seemed content to lie dormant within the python, though her parting words were a chilling reminder of the danger that still lurked:
"Consider yourself fortunate. I will tolerate your presence for now, but remember—this is not a partnership. It is merely... a temporary arrangement."
Mo Yu exhaled quietly as the connection faded. His palm, still slightly cold, was damp with sweat. He knew the storm had only been postponed, not averted. Medusa might be silent for now, but the day she fully regained her strength would bring an entirely new set of challenges.
He glanced down at the tiny, slumbering form of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python coiled around his wrist, now seemingly harmless once again.
"Medusa..." Mo Yu murmured under his breath, eyes narrowing.
"It seems I'll need to be careful. The next steps will require far more than mere strength if I wish to stay ahead of both you and the dangers yet to come."
