Chapter 41 - 42: Chen Mo, Courting Death Once Again"The location of the Green Lotus Core Flame?" Chen Mo quickly extracted the information, and soon, a panoramic map of the Tagor Desert appeared in his mind. On this map, a red dot was marked—the exact location of the Green Lotus Core Flame. Chen Mo thought it would be a good surprise for Queen Medusa. Hadn't she mentioned before that she liked Heavenly Flames? However, in the original story, she sought the Heavenly Flame mainly for evolution. If it wasn't yet time for her evolution, obtaining it wouldn't be of much use to her. Queen Medusa was naturally inclined toward ice and cold attributes, making Heavenly Flames incompatible with her. Swallowing one would be a direct path to death. So, the most likely scenario was that he would refine and absorb the flame himself and lend it to her when the time for her evolution came. At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Chen Mo's mind. For instance, evolving through a Heavenly Flame was too dangerous. If anything unexpected happened, deviating from the original story, it would be game over. So, he began wondering if there were any other methods for her evolution. Seeing him pause, Queen Medusa furrowed her delicate brows and asked, "Why have you stopped?" Chen Mo continued massaging her shoulders. He planned to retrieve the Green Lotus Core Flame as soon as they left the Magical Beast Mountain Range, to prevent any unforeseen complications. Queen Medusa's skin was extraordinarily fair, and her body felt as if it had no bones—soft and delicate. Previously, Chen Mo had only offered to massage Queen Medusa's shoulders and back as a way to take advantage of the situation. But now, he was doing it sincerely. Chen Mo massaged her with great seriousness, without any improper thoughts. But as time passed, he became uncertain. Queen Medusa naturally possessed an enchanting allure, and Chen Mo didn't realize that his massage could serve as an external stimulus, amplifying her seductive aura. The longer it went on, the less disciplined his hands became, and his courage grew. At first, Queen Medusa was sitting upright, but as she felt increasingly comfortable, she eventually lay down. Chen Mo gently pounded her smooth back. Gradually, his hands moved toward her waist. His fingers, whether intentionally or not, lightly pinched her snake-like waist. Then, he quickly retracted his hand, returning to the proper massage while discreetly observing her reaction. One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. No response. Chen Mo's courage grew. This time, he let his fingers linger on her waist a little longer. Still no reaction. Chen Mo became even bolder. He gently kneaded her waist. The sensation—indescribable. In his mind, he even thought: If Die and Queen Medusa could both lie on a bed for him to compare... I wouldn't wash this hand for a year. Seeing that Queen Medusa still hadn't reacted— Chen Mo pushed his luck even further. At this point, it was no longer bravery but sheer recklessness, dancing on the edge of death. Chen Mo began to stroke Queen Medusa's slender waist. Then— A purple snake tail whipped him through the air. Boom! He crashed heavily against the wall, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying from his lips. "Human, have I been too gentle with you lately?" Queen Medusa's icy yet inexplicably magnetic voice reached Chen Mo's ears. She lay on her side, supporting her head with one hand, her face frosty as she gazed at him. "Not too bad... I think it's fine..." Chen Mo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, swallowed hard, and weakly replied. Queen Medusa snorted coldly and said indifferently, "That's enough for tonight." With a wave of her jade-like hand, the surrounding flames extinguished instantly. The bedchamber plunged into darkness, with only the faint moonlight streaming through the window, casting a dim glow. Chen Mo stared at the silhouette on the distant bed. He didn't receive any negative favorability points. Did that mean Queen Medusa was only displeased but didn't actually hate him? No, displeasure and hatred were the same thing. Perhaps she was just unaccustomed to it but didn't necessarily hate it. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wait, that didn't sound right either. Forget it. What a mess. Chen Mo silently reassured himself. "Chen Mo, you're already allowed to touch her waist. How far is your ultimate dream of pinning her down and... disciplining her?" Unconsciously, he raised his hand and took a whiff. Smells amazing. Dragging his exhausted body, Chen Mo lay down on the bed next to Queen Medusa's. In less than ten minutes, he was sound asleep. Queen Medusa had also gone to sleep. But not entirely. Her heart was far from calm. In truth, she had noticed Chen Mo's small actions from the beginning. She simply indulged him. But she never expected him to be this audacious. From her chest, she retrieved a perfectly intact dark-golden pendant, gently stroking it for a while before putting it away. That night, she did not sleep peacefully. The next day, she went to the Elder Council, informed them of her temporary departure, and handled all her pending matters. On the third day— She left the Serpent Clan with Chen Mo. Queen Medusa donned a long black robe, a white mask, and even iron-clawed gloves. A pair of fiery red wings unfolded behind her. Her usual enchantment, allure, and nobility—all concealed beneath the dark robe. "Your Majesty, you look like a ruthless assassin right now." Chen Mo, dressed in a flowing white robe, rode his flying sword, trailing behind Queen Medusa. She ignored him and instead accelerated. "Your Majesty, wait for me! You're too fast; I can't keep up!" With a thought, Chen Mo urged his flying sword, Tian Yuan, to accelerate. But compared to Queen Medusa, who was at the Dou Huang realm, he couldn't even see her shadow. Fortunately, she slowed down after a while. "Your Majesty, I heard that every Medusa queen has a mysterious evolution method. Aside from using a Heavenly Flame, is there another way..." Chen Mo was preparing for Queen Medusa's future evolution and probed cautiously. Queen Medusa suddenly stopped mid-air, her phoenix-like eyes behind the mask locking onto him as she coldly asked: "Where did you hear that from?" Chen Mo couldn't exactly say he read it in a book, so he casually replied, "It was years ago... I forgot." Queen Medusa gave him a long, deep look before saying, "It has nothing to do with you." With that, she resumed flying. "Come on, tell me. Maybe I can help you somehow." "Shut up!" Queen Medusa snapped coldly. Chen Mo clamped his mouth shut. After spending these days with her, he could tell she was genuinely angry. Queen Medusa was angry. But not at Chen Mo. She was furious that her evolutionary secret had been leaked. If Chen Mo had heard about it from someone else, that meant many people knew. Several hours later, the two arrived at the border between the Cloud Mist Empire and the Jia Ma Empire. This forest was vast—larger even than the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire. "Help!" Just as they arrived, a desperate cry for help reached their ears. **** If you want to support me or read advanced Chapters (15+), consider checking out my pat. patr*on.com/Salsita2k
