The Vengeful Medusa

That night, having finally finished building the wooden cabin, Ye Shu lay comfortably on his handmade wooden bed, happily narrowing his eyes.

This was exactly why he had joined the mountain sect.

If he were still at Sunset Mountain.

How would he have time to sleep at this hour? He would probably be sucked dry into a mummy by that demoness Lin Qingxue.

Compared to that, what was a little debt?

He had specially built a room for Xiao Qingli, making her sleep in her own room. Even though Xiao Qingli was very reluctant, he managed to fool her by saying that since she was a big kid now, she needed to sleep on her own.

"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep tonight."

Ye Shu stretched lazily, lying on the bed in pure bliss, and closed his eyes.

However, just as he was about to drift into dreamland.

Bang!

The blanket in front of him suddenly bulged. Immediately after, a girl with hair as bright red as flames emerged from the blanket over Ye Shu's chest. Completely naked, she sat on his stomach, scratched her head in bewilderment, and looked down at her chubby little hands, as confused as a newly hatched fish fry.

Sensing the commotion, Ye Shu opened his eyes.

Their eyes met.

Ye Shu: ".............?"

He must have woken up too fast, seeing a super loli about 1.2 meters tall, with golden eyes, red hair, and fair, beautiful skin suddenly appearing in his blanket.

And the red-haired little loli, after freezing for a split second, suddenly reached out her chubby little hands and fiercely strangled his neck, her golden pupils burning with furious flames.

"You bastard!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Urgh........."

Ye Shu was choked so hard he could not breathe, and he hurriedly reached out to pry her hands away.

Despite her small size, her strength was astonishingly great.

Ye Shu felt as if his throat was being crushed by a primordial behemoth. His vision darkened in waves, and he could not budge her grip at all.

His spiritual energy was also forcibly suppressed, rendering him unable to circulate it.

"Let, let go......."

"I won't! I'm going to kill you!"

She gritted her teeth, tightly strangling Ye Shu's neck, determined to put him to death.

Ye Shu weakly slapped the little loli's arms.

His newly awakened brain was still a bit groggy, and being caught off guard by a lethal attack left him with no time to think.

Looking at Ye Shu's flushed face.

A hint of vindictive pleasure flashed through little Medusa's eyes.

It was this bastard who caused her incomplete evolution, forced her to flee to a distant land, made her slumber for so long, and reduced her to this little girl's appearance!

"Gurgle........"

Ye Shu let out gasping sounds from his throat, his mind racing.

He had already realized who the person in front of him was.

Medusa!

He had not expected her to wake up at this time, attacking so suddenly and ruthlessly without even giving him a chance to speak.

So, using the last ounce of his strength, he reached hard for the teacup at the head of the bed and pushed it toward the edge of the table.

The cup teetered on the edge, about to fall.

Ye Shu stared intently at the cup that carried all his hopes of survival, his eyes bloodshot.

Cultivators had strong control and reaction speeds; it was almost impossible for them to accidentally knock over a cup. If it happened, it was definitely intentional or a sign of danger.

As long as the cup hit the floor and made a sound.

The others outside would immediately sense something was wrong. Even if his eldest senior brother and the rest were no match for Medusa, they could quickly report to the sect, making her hesitate out of fear of the consequences.

Clack—

Under Ye Shu's relentless efforts, the cup carrying all his life-saving hopes finally slipped from the edge of the table.

Finally!

He was saved!

However, just as a relieved smile began to form on Ye Shu's lips.

Before he could feel triumphant for long.

Smack!

A delicate, fair little hand steadily caught the falling cup.

"Oh, you want to call for help, do you?"

Medusa tilted her head, her eyes full of mockery.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Our peerlessly witty, wise, and mighty Child of Destiny also plays these childish tricks of calling adults for help?"

Ye Shu's smile instantly froze on his face.

She even waved the teacup in front of his eyes.

"Did you think I didn't know what you were plotting?"

"If this Queen wanted to kill you, would you even have the chance to play these little tricks? This Queen simply wanted to see your expression as you fell from heaven straight into the abyss."

Ye Shu did not speak, nor could he.

He just stared fixedly into Medusa's eyes, looking at her with a stubborn gaze, as if trying to kill her with his eyes alone.

"Yes, exactly that expression."

"That expression of wanting to kill me, yet being completely helpless to do so."

"It truly makes me feel delighted."

Medusa strangled his neck with one hand, bringing her face so close that their noses touched, and began to laugh with unbridled, almost arrogant triumph.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Woken up by the commotion, Xiaobai rubbed her sleepy eyes and immediately saw the two naked figures stacked on top of each other.

"W-what are you two doing?!"

She instantly sobered up, jumped to her feet, and pointed at Ye Shu, who was being ridden underneath, her small face flushing bright red.

"I'm still here! And you dare to indulge yourself."

Ye Shu, who was originally on the verge of death, was instantly angered into a laugh by her, forcing the words out of his throat.

"We're playing breathplay, want to join in?"

"Y-you huge pervert!"

"Who is she?"

Xiaobai cried out as she stepped forward, only to suddenly realize that Ye Shu's condition was not right. His face was red, his neck thick, and his eyes were gradually dimming, while the girl riding on him showed no intention of letting go.

"S-she is Medusa?!"

Xiaobai finally reacted and screamed.

"Congratulations, you guessed right."

Ye Shu replied weakly, "The prize is that I'm about to die."

"You big idiot, I told you to chop her down earlier but you refused. Happy now? You're about to get counter-killed!" Xiaobai immediately panicked, completely at a loss for what to do as tears pattered down her face.

Who could have imagined that they were sleeping soundly just a moment ago.

And upon waking up, her hubby was going to die again.

"Did you think I didn't try to kill her? I brought her along because I couldn't do it, remember?" Ye Shu retorted helplessly.

It was useless to say anything now.

Medusa's hand squeezing Ye Shu's neck was still applying pressure. The only reason she had not killed him immediately was probably just to appreciate the sight of his death throes a little longer.

Ye Shu's left hand slowly crept toward a jade pendant.

He had not expected the protective artifact his eldest senior brother had given him just that day to come in handy so quickly.

However, just as he prepared to activate the jade pendant.

To strike and kill Medusa in one blow.

Knock, knock, knock......

A crisp series of knocks echoed from the door.
