Chapter 3 – No name? How about we call her... Cai Yan!
Chapter 3 – No name? How about we call her... Cai Yan!
Cool and soft...
There was a faint but astonishing elasticity, as if a surging energy was hidden within.
Once completely freed from its constraints, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to control.
"Ahem, saving lives is my duty, not my choice. Forgive my offense..."
Feeling as if he was holding the entire world in his right hand, Xiao Chen coughed dryly to justify himself, then used his last free repair.
Endless white light immediately spread out.
Under the system's repair, the wounds of the Medusa Queen were rapidly healing.
Her face, which had been as pale as paper, was now regaining its rosy color.
"Hope this investment isn't too much of a loss..."
Feeling Medusa's life force growing stronger, Xiao Chen murmured to himself as he withdrew his right hand.
With the contract secretly forged by the system, there was no need to worry about Medusa turning against him.
He might even be able to use this life-saving favor and the system's secret contract to make the Medusa Queen one of his own!
"Mm~"
As Xiao Chen's thoughts turned, the Medusa Queen let out a soft hum.@@@@
Her previously closed eyes slowly opened.
"Wasn't I... dead?"
As her consciousness gradually revived, the Medusa Queen's face was full of confusion.
Her memory was still stuck in the past.
To break through the shackles of the Holy Realm, evolve her bloodline, and lead the Naga Tribe out of the endless desert, she had risked swallowing a cluster of Millennium Earth Core Flame. Unexpectedly, she was ambushed and failed at the last moment, getting swept into a chaotic stream by the strange fire.
Given her condition at the time, survival was impossible.
How could she still feel, and why were her injuries completely healed?
"How do you feel?"
Seeing the Medusa Queen, her injuries fully healed, standing up and swaying her snake tail, Xiao Chen asked with a gentle smile.
Unexpectedly, after her recovery, the Medusa Queen exuded an indescribable aura.
It made him a bit nervous inside, but he maintained a calm exterior.
Whether he could win over the Medusa Queen depended on whether he could bluff her now.
"Did you save me?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Medusa Queen's eyes narrowed slightly, locking onto him.
Seeing Xiao Chen, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She had never had a good impression of human men, but for some reason, this young human man gave her a sense of familiarity?!
Hearing the Medusa Queen's response, Xiao Chen smiled and casually asked.
The world only knew the Naga Tribe had a Medusa Queen, but no one knew her real name.
The name Medusa was a title passed down among the Naga Tribe queens.
So Xiao Chen was curious about the Medusa Queen's real name.
"I... don't have a name."
Medusa was slightly taken aback, replying with some sadness.
Her parents had died when she was born.
Moreover, she inherited the bloodline of the Ancient Sky-Devouring Python, taking on the name Medusa at birth.
So she never had a real name like others.
"Uh, no name?"
Hearing Medusa's answer, Xiao Chen felt a bit awkward.
"How about... Cai Yan?"
"Calling you Medusa all the time feels a bit distant."
"Cai Yan?"
Hearing the name Xiao Chen gave her, the Medusa Queen was slightly stunned.
For some reason, she didn't dislike the name, but rather felt a strange fondness for it.
"Cai Yan... it's a nice name."
After a moment of silence, Medusa didn't reject the name, a faint smile appearing on her cold face.
The name Medusa represented more of a responsibility and shackle to her.
But now, the name Xiao Chen gave her seemed to give her life a soul of her own, beyond living for her people.
So, she liked the name.
"Haha, as long as you don't mind."
Seeing the Medusa Queen, who ruled the entire Naga Tribe and was feared by the Seven Great Empires of the Eastern Wilderness, not showing much aloofness in front of him, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, feeling quite pleased.
It seemed the Medusa Queen had a good impression of him.
With some time and effort, he might have a chance to win her over, like Xu Xian becoming a Snake Fucker.
Of course, this thought couldn't be revealed. It was just a secret fantasy for now.
After a pause, Xiao Chen continued.
"I will arrange a side room for Miss Cai Yan. You can recover your cultivation in the Xiao Family during this time. Unless absolutely necessary, I won't disturb you.
Of course... If I encounter any trouble I can't handle, I hope Miss Cai Yan won't hesitate to lend a hand."
